What makes this program one of a kind
Develop concentration through mantra meditation
- Using mantras and sounds with the rhythm for meditation is the most ancient and effective tool. Mantra provides you a crystallized state of mind and the state of beyond mind, into the state of true being.
- The power of Mantra yoga lies in the way you control the flow of energy through the various organs. You will see this in the program as one way to improve the favorable effects of meditation. When you meditate, you open the energy channels, starting from the base chakra located at the base of your spine.
- Each of the chants is associated with a specific organ. One mantra you use is the all-powerful AUM sound. This mantra sounds like the bees and it raises the inner base chakra by stirring it.
- Unlike Yoga Nidra where you can achieve samadhi or total peace in all the organs of the body, here you stimulate them so the metabolic activities become augmented. This is found in Nyasa, where Sanskrit mantras remain placed in specific organs of the body. By stimulating specific organs, you can get rid of ailments and cure infections.
- The other big advantage of using mantras is that you become free of repetitive thought. Through deep meditation, you can go behind the thought and understand why and how you get it in the first place. The emotional upheaval you experience comes from negative thoughts like pride, greed, and anger. But, they last only for 90 seconds at a time. When you chant a mantra, you are voiding the mind for that crucial period when you suffer emotional disturbance. This helps block the drain of energy.
Know yoga Nidra - a specific form of meditation
- Yoga Nidra is a guided yoga technique that helps and directs you in the conscious state of sleep. Yoga Nidra is a state of existence of the yogi during yoga which goes from wakefulness to sleep and then comes back to wakefulness. It highlights the presence of stages of transitions associated with different states of the mind. Shortly, you can say this is the state of conscious sleep.
- It is the easiest and the most effective yoga to purify the black edge of your unconscious mind.
Pranayama and ancient breathing techniques
- You will learn about the deeper meaning of the correct breathing techniques and develop knowledge about how you may use them in yoga asanas and how they can improve your life. Changing breathing patterns will affect mind patterns and bring balance to the body and emotions.
