Course Content
5 modules of 6 days each:
Vitality & Stress “God only lives in cosy homes”, Yogi Bhajan. The body is the temple. With its biochemistry, neuro-transmissions, five winds, pranas, nadis and various physical and subtle organs. Subject to so much internal and external stress how can it become like gold and radiate? Vitality is the capacity of the nervous and glandular system to respond and adapt. it is also a sign of a harmonious relationship to the vastness of the cosmos and its laws. Stress can be the training ground to develop this capacity or it can produce a degeneration of this capacity.
Conscious Communication Hold the teacher‘s voice. Empower your speaking. Deepen your listening. Sounding from the navel. Pitching from the chakras. Projecting & defending. Prayerful communication. Communication blocks; fear/anger. Hidden self, shadow self & the mask. Uplifting others through the frequency of your communication is a direct path to self-mastery.
Authentic Relationships Include yourself in God by full participation in the human experience. From incarnation of your spirit through living conscious relationships to merging with the divine while alive. Every relation is a manifestation of the relation between the individual soul and the Universal Soul. Practical discussions, exercises and meditations that give a deep insight into the most basic nature of man and woman as well as the methods to realize the highest consciousness through fulfilling your humanity.
Life Cycles & Life Styles Review your personal biography in a manner that will set you free from the dead weight of the past and turn lead to gold. Learn to harmonise the 7, 11 and 18-year cycles of your life and why this is important. Establish your future projection so that the flow of prosperity is a natural consequence of the balance of the rhythms. Step further into the practical science of transforming your life from habits that are soul-demoting to a discipline that is soul-promoting.
Mind & Meditation Conquer the mind and you will conquer the world. The mind is the problem yet within it is the solution. This is the opportunity for an in depth exploration of the mind, its functions, facets and projections. Learn to recognise your own tendencies and experience the meditations that transform the mind into a truly great and helpful servant of your soul. The medatative mind provides the means to be still, intuitive and creative.
