Yoga MasterMind 1

Chakrawareness Retreat in Nelson BC Canada
July 22 - August 7

An educational adventure into the workings of the human mind.

Then, their subsequent transformation into affirmative thinking and visualizing techniques as practiced by ancient Egyptian and Indian Yogis.

This program places Patanjali’s second sutra “Yoga is the inhibition of the modifications of the mind,” into proper perspective.

Though Hatha Yoga and Pranayama (the physical form) are practiced daily, it is only the foundation for the practice and purpose of the real science: Mastering the Mind.

• Learning to control the verbal process (random thinking) is a key which changes the mind from chattering distractions into a creative force of manifestation.
• The image making, called imagination, is the other faculty to be rescued from its fall into random motion, cruising vast libraries of video scenes that span a lifetime.
• This later function is re-programmed step by step to re-establish its role as the projector and director of the manifestation we call life.
• During this process we come to a realization that emotions are also produced by the mind through its focus on various types of thoughts, so we can choose, then concentrate and change our emotional states when needs be.

Techniques include:

• Hatha Yoga posture and movement synchronized with breath and internal sound
• Expansion of this into Hatha Yoga Dandhal for grounding and centering the mind into the here and now experience of body re-building.
• Dancing flows for awakening the chakra energies.
• Pranayama techniques to raise some of these energies up to the mind for work in the verbal and visual processes.
• Methods of working with sound, and times of practice.
• Tools for creative image making, followed with making the appropriate images.
• Relaxation with the Silence of Meditation.

MasterMind Programs have been carefully designed by David during the past year, his fortieth on the yogic path. The last 12 of those years being in the field of educating certified Yoga teachers.
