About this Event
Discover the transformative power of Vedic meditation and delve into the Science and Practice of Mantra Meditation & Marma Point Sound Healing on December 6 with Celia Roberts (Ayurveda), Tumul Dubey (Sanskrit) & Anita Cassidy Bowman (Sound Healing).
Vedic meditation harnesses sound, rhythm, and music to unlock a myriad of health and wellness benefits. In this practice, the mantra serves as a focal point, guiding the mind to deep concentration while the sound resonates throughout the sacred areas of the body. Mantra meditation, a concentration technique, involves contemplation on a specific word or phrase.
The research on the use of mantra for mental well-being is extensive and continually expanding. Our minds operate on vibrational patterns rooted in sounds and words. Each word holds associations with emotions, experiences, feelings, and thoughts, grounded in deep memory. The inner voice, governing the mind, further adds meaning to words. Consequently, the serene inner sound achieved through mantra meditation has the potential to bring stillness to the mind. Unlike the inner dialogue and distracting thoughts, the repetition of mantras does not evoke emotional responses; instead, it causes a unidirectional reduced activation of cortical networks leading to a basic state of rest (Berkovich-Ohana et al., 2015).
Mantra also allows us to connect the mind, external and internal speech, and ultimately achieve connection with the environmental and universal sound vibrations. Sound is the vehicle of Transcendence that we will explore for this meditation retreat. Here, we shall use Mantra to facilitate the flow of prana through the marma points, an important tool of marma therapy. Mantras protect marma points, called “kavacha” in Sanskrit and so we use Mantra or sound to heal and protect certain vulnerable areas in the body.
This retreat will introduce you to Mantra Purusha, a daily practice that can be used to implement Mantra and the ancient Sanskrit alphabet into the body’s sound vibration and to heal each marma point.
This Ayurvedic practice can be used to achieve many different goals, such as greater self-awareness, inner peace, spiritual growth, and enlightenment.
The benefits of this kind of mind and sound healing include:
- Decreased pain
- Improved heart health
- Lessened symptoms of depression
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduced PTSD & Trauma
- Deeper and more restorative sleep
- Reduced anxiety and stress
- Stronger vagal tone and heart rate variability — key measures of your resilience to stress.
Do join us for this very special end of year retreat.
