Sound & Mantra
The purpose of Nada Yoga is to bring conflicting souds and vibrations within our body, thoughts and emotions into harmony
Sound is a form of energy, it consists of vibrations that we can feel and hear. Sound is a subtle form of space. What we can hear is a union of sound and space. You can reach silence with the help of sound. Silence is a part of sound. Every sound has its own effect on body and mind.
Yoga means Union, it is a practise of uniting body, mind and soul.
Nada Yoga = the yoga of sound.
The purpose of Nada Yoga is to bring conflicting souds and vibrations within our body, thoughts and emotions into harmony.
It this workshop there will be sounds used in the yoga practise produced by singing bowls, kalimba, harmonium and human voice.
A mantra is a syllable, a word or a group of words that has a psychological and spiritual power. ‘Man’ – means ‘mind’or ‘thinking proces’ and ‘Tra’ – means ‘instrument’ or ‘going beyond. So literally a mantra is an instrument to go beyond the mind and it’s thinking process.
There are a lot of different mantra’s and every mantra has a different effect on our body and mind.
Essential oils
Essential oils can help to release tension and emotions
The aroma of Essential oils stimulate the part of the brain that affects emotion. When you breathe oil molecules they are received by the brains olfactory center via the nostrils. Essential oils communicate to the limbic system to recall or release stored emotions and memories. The limbic system, that is responsible for the storage of emotions and memories, gets stimulated and sends information to the autonomic nervous system and activates the para-sympathetic nervous system that is responsible for homeostasis in the body, a state of well-being and balance.
Using essential oils in the yoga practise can help to release tension and emotions that can appear.
During the workshop we will use the dōTERRA essential oils. These oils are 100% natural and are of a Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. After the course you will have a better understanding of the effect of the oils on body & mind and how to use them in your yoga practice.
