SUMMARY:The Science and Art of Awakening Human Consciousness - Session Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:This session will initially explore consciousness through the five-level panchamaya yoga model. We will also experientially and briefly touch upon the science of consciousness in meditation with reference to the work of cognitive neuroscientists Dr Anil Seth and Dr Donald Hoffman. Most importantly\, we will explore the field of consciousness that is beyond body\, mind\, birth\, life & death. This field of consciousness is what the great yogis have explored throughout the ages\, taking us to a deeper understanding of what science has not yet proven: the recognition that consciousness and energy are the same and not separate. \n\n“The whole universe\, inside and out\, are manifestations of the same Universal Force: ChitShakti.” \n\n~ Michael Singer \nOn a more personal level\, we will explore both resistance and acceptance within\, noticing how the mind dictates heavily what we do and don’t want. The deep spiritual teaching lies in the recognition that the World isn’t always going to give us what we want. Our minds are constructing a reality of what we think we want. Therefore it is wise that we remain open\, without expectation\, to the moment unfolding right in front of us. What is unfolding in front of us is the reality of where our consciousness meets the moment that just is. \n\n“You attract and manifest whatever corresponds to your inner state.” \n\nEckhart Tolle \nLet us explore the radiance behind all that is…

SUMMARY:The Science and Practice of Mantra Meditation & Marma Point Sound Healing
DESCRIPTION:Mantra meditation is a form of concentration in which the object of contemplation is a word or phrase\, called a mantra. The research about the use of Mantra for the mind is wonderful and ever-growing. The vibrational pattern of our mind is based on sounds and words. Each word is associated with certain emotions\, experiences\, feelings and thoughts. Feelings and thoughts give additional meaning to words\, rooting them in a deeper memory. Moreover\, the inner voice also controls the mind. Therefore\, the calm inner sound\, which can be achieved through mantra\, can still the mind. Unlike the inner thoughts or words\, the repetition of mantras does not evoke emotional responses; instead\, it causes a unidirectional reduced activation of cortical networks leading to a basic state of rest (Berkovich-Ohana et al.\, 2015). Mantra also allows us to connect the mind\, external and internal speech\, and ultimately achieve connection with the environmental and universal sound vibrations. Sound is the vehicle of Transcendence that we will explore for this meditation retreat. Here\, we shall use Mantra to facilitate the flow of prana through the marma points\, an important tool of marma therapy. Mantras protect marma points\, called “kavacha” in Sanskrit and so we use Mantra or sound to heal and protect certain vulnerable areas in the body. This retreat will introduce you to Mantra Purusha\, a daily practice that can be used to implement Mantra and the ancient Sanskrit alphabet into the body’s sound vibration and to heal each marma point. This Ayurvedic practice can be used to achieve many different goals\, such as greater self-awareness\, inner peace\, spiritual growth\, and enlightenment. Do join us for this very special end of year retreat.

SUMMARY:Trauma is Stored in The Body – Move your body out of the Past
DESCRIPTION:This will be a fascinating self-exploratory retreat\, noting where our past is stored in our body. It will include acknowledging where we store emotions in our body and you will develop heightened psychosomatic awareness and free your body of the trauma\, the memories of the past. We will be looking at six ways to bring unification and harmony through moving meditation. Using a healing life force (Prana\, Qi\, Chi\, Ki) as a solution to liberate yourself from the body and past. ‘Who we are’ is a complex combination of evolution\, ancestry\, experience\, chemistry\, chance and the choices we make. It is now a known scientific fact that trauma is stored in our body. According to the Ancient yoga sutras; our face\, body and our posture store the history of our lifetime. Metaphysically and now proven scientifically\, our past is stored in our cells\, our genes and our DNA. Trauma not only affects our cells\, but it changes our body\, our gut\, our brain wave patterning\, our nervous system and our brains. In this course\, we will use meditation techniques to explore the way grief and trauma can affect the nervous system\, the mind\, our muscles\, organs and fascia. Furthermore\, we will bring presence to body and breath\, bringing the freedom of movement and mind into the present. Breathing together\, moving together\, touch and eye contact with trusted others help us to dissolve the past that lies in our body\, even our genes. This 3-hour workshop will introduce the theory and research behind this evidence informed meditations for grief\, shock and trauma. Join us to find freedom within your heart\, acknowledging with deep respect and humility the unbreakable human spirit within.
