AGNIHOTRA
Agnihotra is an Ayurveda fire meditation. It’s done precisely at sunrise and sunset. This heals the atmosphere and has been scientifically proven to reverse pollution. Agnihotra also heals people, animals and plants. Agni is a Sanskrit word that means fire and Hotra means healing.
AGNIHOTRA ASH MEDICINE
The ash from Agnihotra is highly medicinal. It is full of Prana and all micronutrients in perfect balance for health. Measured by NASA labs, 92 elements have been identified in the ash, including all trace elements in perfect balance for health. There are 100's of documented reports from medical doctors in Sth. America about the healing of all sorts of problems including the so-called incurable diseases. It can be used as medicine in two ways, drinking it in water or using it as an ointment. Agnihotra ash can also be used in farming and horticulture. The general health of plants and trees is enormously improved, the plant's yield multiplies in terms of fruits and flowers, and there is tremendous improvement in soil conditions.
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...
CHRYSTALOTHERAPY
Crystal healing is a holistic, non-invasive, vibrational energy-based system of healing. It treats the whole person and their integrated energy system. It is therapeutic and deeply relaxing. Crystals absorb, focus, direct, detoxify, shift and diffuse energy as they interact with the electromagnetic forces and subtle vibrations within the subtle human or environmental energy field.
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
- Improvement of memory and concentration
- Expansion of consciousness
