Maha Shakti For Psychic Energy

Friday Evening, May 20, 6:30-8:30 p.m.  Location: Bala Yoga Fremont

Level: All Levels   

Contents: Asana; Pranayama; Lecture; Guided Meditation                                   

An ideal Yogic blend of practices guaranteed to yield instant psychic ENERGY. Divinely selected Yogic techniques practiced under the guidance of an expert teacher will lead to incredible physical, mental and spiritual results. The students will have a chance to experience a broad selection of the best, easiest and most efficient of the breathing techniques (Pranayama), mantras, postures (Asana), meditation, deep relaxation and esoteric Yogic knowledge.

An expertly sequenced Hatha-Raja Yoga practice for the body, mind and soul designed to exercise, rejuvenate and energize the entire system. Divine knowledge will slowly purify the mind by removing doubts. This instantly triggers inner peace and spiritual bliss, and this is the gradual beginning of the end of pain and delusion. Thus, one gets lots of enthusiasm to deal with life. Amazing postures designed to elevate the state of consciousness and to promote radiant health and energy will be practiced. Divine breath control will gradually purify the nerves and bring Prana and Apana (Kundalini) up spine and to the head, resulting in Divine Perception. By controlling the breath, the mind also will be controlled. Maha Mantras (sacred sounds) affect the body, mind and touch the soul, purify the intellect, trigger spiritual bliss and stimulate the Chakras. During Meditation in Shavasana, body and material sensation will gradually disappear and even the mind will be set into silence. “There is no other thing in this world that would please me more than to, with all my love, share this Divine Knowledge with you.” (Sri Dharma Mittra)

Dharma Yoga Nidra provides instant, PURE ENERGY not found in food or energy drinks, and this energy is 100% natural. One session equals 1-3 hours of deep sleep, one hour of meditation or two hours of Yogic exercises (Asana), but is superior to them all. Soon, you will go beyond ordinary consciousness to where your thoughts become powerful and creative. The after effects of the practice are similar to those one experiences after a good, deep sleep. One feels really energized and positive. Deep Psychic Purification or Yoga Nidra is for the person of the future who gets his or her energy from within, rather than from outside. After practicing, there is no need for food, because the mind is calm and you feel energized and happy. Regular practice will allow you to tap into the boundless joy that is already within. (No special clothes or mats are needed to practice.)
