"Man" meaning mind and "Tra" representing wave or vibration, mantras are repeated sets of words that serve as a key to setting intentions, increasing focus, and harnessing the energy of the mind.

Mantras can be spoken, sung, listened to, or repeated internally. The repetition of a mantra profoundly impacts the brain's chemistry, clearing emotional blocks, calming the mind, and fostering supreme peace.

Join us to experience firsthand the transformative potential that mantra holds.

Some more on some of the program-

❤️ Tibetan Singing Bowls

Tibetan Singing Bowls have been used for centuries as a powerful tool for healing and meditation purposes. They create a range of sounds to restore the normal vibratory frequencies of diseased and out-of-harmony parts of the body, mind and soul. Sound has been lauded as the healing of the future- as its enormous potential to bring peace and wellbeing is being widely studied and verified scientifically.

A University of California study to examine the potential effects of a singing bowl meditation reported a significant difference was found in all end points of the study showing-

Better mood
Less tension
Decrease in Anger
Relief from depression
Less anxiety
Less physical pain
Improved spiritual well-being

❤️ Qigong

Qigong can be described as a mind-body-spirit practice that opens the flow of energy in meridians (energy lines in the body) used in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It enhances our ability to feel the Life Force underlying the physical world and to deepen our communication with it.

There are thousands of qigong styles, schools, traditions, forms, and lineages, each with practical applications and different theories about Qi (“subtle breath” or “vital energy”) and Gong (“skill cultivated through steady practice”).

Featuring gentle movements, deep breathing and meditation techniques, “Five Treasures Qigong” promotes the circulation of blood and Qi (vital energy) within the body. The practice is rejuvenating and renewing. Just a few minutes of “Five Treasures Qigong” practice evokes states of internal stillness, centering, balance and a feeling of well being. Qigong is also practiced to strengthen the internal organs and the immune system. You will be invited to stay in a comfortable range of motion, seated if necessary. The more you practice the greater the benefit.

❤️ Yoga Nidra

Traditional Yoga Nidra is a potent form of guided meditation that systematically relaxes the body and mind. So simple and scientifically studied.

It rejuvenates and liberates energy from deep within the cells of the body. It has the powerful potential to strengthen and expand consciousness and is used to support deep healing in the body. 45 minutes of yoga nidra is said to have the relaxation benefits of 3 hours sleep and is used therapeutically to treat stress, anxiety and support healing.

The practice of Yoga Nidra has been shown in peer reviewed scientific studies to-

Improve back pain
Fight Insomnia
Relieve Rheumatoid Arthritis
Relieve Tinnitus Stress
Balance PMS Mood
Increase dopamine levels
Lower anxiety and depression symptoms
Combat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
