April 5th – 7th: Christchurch, the Unshakeable Heart with Swami Muktidharma

Unshake-heart

Inner Peace through Sound and Positive Expression with Swami Muktidharma

When we leave the periphery and come closer to the centre, we experience calmness and gain access to an inner source of joy and deep peace.

Sometimes life shakes and challenges us and ripples are created in our lives. When we learn to look within, we can connect to a place of strength, balance and unwavering peace.

Leave the intellect at home and connect to this innate depth and wisdom. Explore the ancient sciences of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of the heart and emotions) and Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound) and learn practices to direct the emotions, harmonise the body and balance the mind.

Receive the yogic tools of sound, mantra, meditation and music to effortlessly cultivate a positive mind in all life situations – the key to peace, contentment and harmony.

Fri 5th April, 7:30 – 9:00pm

Kirtan – Mantras and Music to Open the Heart

Kirtan is a practice of Nada Yoga, the yoga of sound and Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of the heart and emotions. Kirtan or chanting healing sounds with music is a powerful tool to release the mind from its chatter and to connect with the heart. Join in this uplifting practice of yoga that calms the mind and harmonises the body, carrying one effortlessly to a place of inner stillness, peace and joy.

Followed by a shared dinner of chai, cake and other goodies.
