ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
An Evening Workshop
Thursday, April 1, 2021, 6:30 – 9:30 pm ET
The body is a pulsating matrix of energies and elements, kept alive by the beating of the heart; the heartbeat is the outer expression of our inner pranic essence and that in turn is ultimately derived from Mahat, the mind of the universe. The concepts discussed here will focus on topics such as the luminosity of our presence, the impact of moods on immunity and our cognitive functions.
Cultivating this awareness has important applications for healing mental and emotional disturbances, especially stress, insomnia, anxiety and depression, as the luminosity of the heart is related to how we process stimuli from the world and our emotional reactions to it. The goal of these traditional practices is to cleanse and return us to a spiritual level, purifying our consciousness in order to return to our true luminous nature, the primary goal of yogic and meditative traditions.
What You Will Learn:
THEORY

- The role of botanical medicine in supporting the luminosity of the heart
- One heartbeat: deepening spiritual awareness by understanding the pulsation of the universe from stars to microbes
- The biological connections between flowers, the heart and the menstrual cycle
