Visit to the Sivananda Ashram

Our visit to the Sivananda Ashram at Neyyar Dam was very memorable. It is indeed a very calm place, away from the fast, busy world that we live in. It is at a height near the dam. The first picture shows me standing and some yoga pose statues in the background, near the dam. I wish to go there again for yoga vacation of 15 days in near future. The people at ashram were very helpful, friendly. I felt at home with them. The second picture shows Atul standing near the dam.

Visitors at Healin' Temple

Udayan and Janki ( From Canada) visited and stayed at our guest room for three weeks. They both are teachers of Sivananda Style of Yoga. We were very happy to introduce this style of yoga to our students here. Yoga learnt from an expert does make a difference. Vegetarian food, simple living and listening to body through yoga asana....Thank you Udayan and Janki for doing yoga sessions for us here at Healin' Temple.

Nishpandbhava (No movement Reflection)

Self Healing lessons (3 in a series) just got over today. The most popular lesson was that of Nishpandbhava. Here, one is taught to sit in a relaxed way, reclined against wall. No movement. Eyes shut. Just listen to sounds around.
This is very relaxing to mind and body. Good for those who have too much chattering going in mind. Feel too full in mind. Need some space. Need some quiet centering. Can be done anywhere, any time. Even in office. Or while travelling by train.
Our workshop room is very quiet. So this particular asana was a great success.
It enables one to remain calm, while the mind concentrates on the sound around and moves only with that.
So simple. So nice!

Yoga and Lotus flower essence

I am regularly practising Yogasana since last 15 months. I enjoy it totally. I have seen remarkable effect of yoga in my life. Earlier, it was like living on credit as far as 'energy level' was concerned. Now it is a lot of surplus, reserve energy available to me at all time.
I have made some remarkable observations while doing the asanas. I am already very sensitive to 'energies' around and also the way it flows in my body.
More than 20 years ago, I experienced very profound effect of Lotus flower Essence. It was having a cleansing, purifying effect on my mind, body and emotions. I have felt similar effect with Yoga.
Yoga expands awareness in general. Therefore, we become very aware of every process going on inside our body, mind, emotions. It centers us and allows us to have greater control over body, emotions and mind.

I have found that if yoga is combined with flower essences, the effects are even more profound. The recovery is gentle, accurate and speedy.

I recommend to put seven drops of lotus flower essence on the crown chakra center ( on the top of the head), then sit in Sukhasana or Padmasana whichever is possible to meditate. Then, be quiet, observe the effect on your total self!

Do this daily for about seven days.

See the transformation through energies within!
