AGNIHOTRA (Agni means fire, hotra means healing) is an ancient healing Ayurvedic fire ritual from India, described in the Vedas. It is not linked to any religion, it is purely a practice, an energy ritual that provides healing results that will strengthen your aura and boost your immune system. When your immune system is strong and your aura surrounding your body is also strong, nothing from outside can hurt you.
Agnihotra is the science of purification of the atmosphere through the agency of fire, it creates a healthy biosphere and a peaceful atmosphere is sustained.
At the end of the retreat, you will get Agnihotra healing ash bottle as a present, to take with you. This ash is full of life force. Measured by NASA labs, 92 elements have been identified in the ash, including all trace elements in perfect balance for health. With consumption of this healing Agnihotra ash, even months after this retreat you can keep your immune system strong.
Benefits of Agnihotra:
- Agnihotra brings clarity, focus and makes you stronger, able to accomplish and do things, and work on your inner energies.
- A magnetic field is created which neutralizes negative energy and reinforces positive energy.
- Sitting at Agnihotra fire and breathing in the smoke goes quickly into the bloodstream and lungs. This has excellent effect on circulatory system. The smoke has good effect on the brain and nervous system.
- Agnihotra renews brain cells, revitalizes the skin, it purifies the blood
- Agnihotra benefits both spiritual and mundane, for those who do it are said to be enormous...
YOGA NIDRA
on this retreat you are also welcome to experience Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep. This is a guided meditation, a deep relaxation technique that takes the practitioner into a state of conscious sleep where the body is completely relaxed, yet the mind remains awake and alert. The practitioner is led through a sequence of verbal instructions incorporating a series of breath, body, and awareness techniques. Unlike meditation, which requires focusing on a single point, yoga nidra facilitates deep relaxation by withdrawing the senses internally.
Benefits of Yoga Nidra:
- Stress reduction and improved sleep quality
- Enhanced mental clarity and focus
- Healing and self discovery
- Boosting the immune system
- Reduction of chronic pain
- Regulation of high blood pressure
