Yoga Teacher Training 100 Hour - Category Three

Please read this important notice carefully.

Mantra means 'sounding'. From ancient times chanting has been a part of Spiritual practices and traditions. Both Yoga and the christian bible regard sound as primordial. In the christian bible it is said that 'in the begining was the word, the was with God and the word WAS God'

In Yoga it is said that the 'universe' and all within it arose from the sacred sound AUM. Aum encompasses all possible ststes and realites as well as the creating principle beyond them. Infinite intelligence or God.

In this section we discuss further and introduce various famous Mantra's. There are chant along videos later in the course and some external links to some stunning examples.

Used for accessing a deep inner state of awareness, this Cosmic Union Sound Journey can be taken with a pair of quality head or ear phones and your body placed in a really comfortable position.  The lecture gives preparation notes and some useful directives for your intention in doing the journey. The music includes Chinese Spouting Bowl with Chanting, Didgeridoo, Guitar, Tibetan Bowls, nature sounds and more.

In our modern world, formal relaxation is very rare and mostly misunderstood. many people somehow believe one is wasting time and indulging. This could not further from accurate. A robust relaxation practice can greatly enhance our overall health and contribute to a stable Spiritual practice.

The module discusses this further and also looks into a tried and tested method and how the practice relates to other techniques. Included are Mp3 resources to assist you at home with attaining a correct state of relaxation.

The Tibetan meaning of Meditation is 'becoming familiar with'. This refers to becoming familiar with our chosen object of Meditation. I do not see the skill of Meditation as being isolated from the other practices of Relaxation and Visualisation. If we are unfamiliar with how to relax properly we will struggle with Meditation. Likewise, if we have no ability to visualise, we will also struggle.

Samhadi in Yoga is the state of awareness where we 'become one' with our object. Seer, process and object are 'merged' in our awareness and therefore our perception and understanding. Insight and various forms of knowledge and experince arise.

This module gives tools, instruction, guided audios and further reading articles.

Under the resources section I have included a powerful Subliminal Audio that can work to shift us quickly into a deep meditative state when practiced frequently.

Contemplation is a deep Spiritual practice we use for gaining insight into the nature of our own thoughts, feelings, attitudes and physical actions, basically our manifested reality. We vitally need to do this work if we are going to change our our personal electro-magnetic vortex of attraction and reflection.

Awareness is essential if we are going to ever find our way to wisdom, caring, kindness s well as peace, prosperity and abundance.

In this module I cover methods and practical applications. There are downloadable Mp3 audios and further reading articles.

There is a considerable interest in modern times regarding internal imaging, often called Visualisation. The popular law of Attraction ideas and other manifestation and healing techniques as well as many ancient spiritual traditions, use the faculty of imagination extensively. This module looks at various methods, the theory behind them and some useful applications.

The art of Visualisation works really hand in hand with the other techniques discussed such as Meditation and Contemplation.

Included are downloadable Mp3' audios and futher reading articles.

The Waterfall guided altered state experience, takes us deep into the sub-conscious mind via archetypal energies and gives a process and method for facilitating our own transformation via subsequent arising insight. The guided audio is rich with imagery and is therefore ideal for practicing and developing our skill in this department.
