Our authentic Self is our true power. We are not just biological beings, but also spiritual beings. There is a tiny spark of life within us, which Yogin-s have long called the Puruṣa (the Self) that is filled with light, wisdom and willpower. It is what guides us in fulfilling our true life potential and it is also the potent force that allows us to connect to the Divine.
Owing to the external distractions of the mind and senses, we disconnect from this and deviate from our Karmic destiny and personal Dharma. This is one of the main sources of our misery in our life. However, when we return back to this source and reconnect with this spark of divinity within us, We get back on track to fulfill our true purpose. Then we move in the direction of liberation. Empowering our Self is the most fundamental step in our path towards self-realisation and eventually spiritual liberation.
In the classical Yoga school of Mahaṛṣi Patañjali, Meditation (Dhyānam) is considered the most powerful tool that can help you reconnect with this light, empower your Self and live a full and meaningful life!
The purpose of this seminar is to assist you to connect with and empower your Self through profound meditation practices from the Viniyoga tradition. The practices taught will incorporate some of its holistic range of tools, including simple body movements (Āsana), conscious breath regulation (Prāṇāyāma), repetition of oral sounds (Mantra), visualizations (Bhāvanā), gestures (Nyāsa) and guided meditation (Dhyānam).
This practice-only seminar will consist of a set of eight modules, each module focusing on a different theme. The focus for each module has been carefully chosen to address different topics connected to the Self-empowerment principle. You are advised to practice the meditation that is taught until the next module, and repeat the procedure for the entire month. After the month is over, participants will be able to continue to use any of these safe meditation practices, depending on their individual needs, in consultation with their mentor or supervisor.
Even if you are unable to attend the event live, you can still listen to the sessions at your own leisure.
The themes for each of the eight modules are:
1) Faith 2) Self-inquiry 3) Integrity 4) Power
5) Wisdom 6) Dharma 7) Illumination 8) Surrender
