5 Days Nada Mantra Yoga Retreat in Kerala, India

Facilities

A mantra is not a prayer, nor a religious hymn, but a technique by which one can increase one’s own energy. It is a method of psychosomatic healing. Whether or not one understands the Sanskrit terms is not important as the sounds will have the desired effect either way. Certain seed syllables have within them the power to affect nerves and glands, and these seeds can be planted deep within the psyche by repetition.

Mantra yoga is an entire form of yoga based on sound therapy. Nada yoga is a well balanced, harmonic state of mind, and represents the union of everything (body, mind, soul). To reach this state, there are different yogic paths. Nada yoga is one of these paths. In Nada yoga, the cosmic sound is worshiped. Before the creation of the universe, this sound existed. This sound has three syllables, Alpha, Beta, and Omega, or creation, existing, and destruction. A is Alpha, U is Beta, and M is Omega (AUM).

During the sessions, you will use Indian classical music notations to meditate, the way that the experts designed this program which will provide you with total mental peace, opening of the chakras and energy channels, and immense happiness. This program is ideal for singers, musicians, IT professionals, or other people who face stress in daily life.

There is a far greater purpose to life. But the spiritual investigation on life's purposes requires a keen intellect and a strong will. These are the products of a healthy body and mind. For this reason, the ancient sages developed an integral system to ward off or delay the decaying or catabolic process, and to keep the physical and mental faculties strong. This is the system of yoga, a simple and natural program involving five main principles:

• Proper exercise - asanas
• Proper breathing - Pranayama
• Proper relaxation - Savasana (physical, spiritual, and mental)
• Proper diet - vegetarian
• Positive thinking and meditation - Vedanta and Dhyana
