SUMMARY:Find Balance through Sound (self paced)
DESCRIPTION:Self Paced event. Find a deeper connection to stillness and life through the yoga of sound. Chanting is known to: Increase breath control\n\nInfluence heart rate\n\nLower blood pressure\n\nEase muscle tension\n\nImprove digestion\n\nReduce pain and assist healing\n\nActivate different part of the brain\n\nStimulate learning and memory\n\nHelp us focus on positive words and phrases\, involving gratitude and peace\n\nUnite people and enhance a sense of connection with others\n\nHelp prepare for pranayama\, meditation or prayer\n\nMay reduce snoring by toning the muscles of the throatThrough practice\, we draw senses inward to quiet the mind. In this stillness\, we can experience more subtle aspects of being that resides beyond the mind; a oneness and wholeness with all of life and a sense of profound peace. Mantra is a reminder to treat our words as sacred\, creative and divine.   What we think and say\, we create.  Inspired by Deepak Chopra’s ‘Seven Spiritual Laws of Success’\, these 10-15 minute seated practices offer reflection\, self enquiry\, connection and stillness through mantra repetition (japa) and meditation.  There are 7 recordings in this series which run through my ‘Radiant Wellbeing’ APP so you can practice anywhere\, anytime.

SUMMARY:The Science of Self-Realisation & Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Liberation\, a concept deeply rooted in various cultures and religions\, refers to the release or freedom from limitations—whether physical\, mental\, or spiritual. Often associated with self-realisation\, enlightenment\, and transcendence\, liberation in a spiritual context typically means breaking free from the cycle of birth\, death\, and rebirth\, known as samsara. Achieving this state is frequently pursued through higher-level spiritual practices such as meditation\, yoga\, and prayer. \nLiberation involves transcending the constraints of the ego\, allowing individuals to connect with their deeper spiritual essence and experience true freedom. Dr. Lisa Miller’s research on the awakened brain identifies five observable traits shared across religious and spiritual traditions: altruism\, love of one’s neighbour as oneself\, a sense of oneness\, the practice of sacred transcendence\, and adherence to a moral code. By consciously cultivating these traits\, individuals can strengthen their “muscle of transcendent awareness\,” leading to a more profound spiritual experience. Miller’s findings suggest that spirituality and religiosity are innate and heritable traits that can be nurtured through environmental influences over a person’s lifetime. \nJoin us as we explore the science of self-realisation and liberation\, delving into practices that elevate consciousness and connect us with the profound truth of our spiritual nature through meditation and mindful awareness. \nSource The Awakened Brain – Become One with the Rhythm of Life – The BioMedical Institute of Yoga & Meditation
