MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING RISHIKESH INDIA

i) I feel that my body/heart/mind energy is much more balanced and harmonized. I used to live in my mind, often fighting with it but its much calmer and quieter. I feel that I’m much more aware and find it easier to be anchored by the breath and senses.
ii) The body-mind-emotion balancing practices are really great for coming out of the mind and very quickly bring a state of calmness.
Although, I have loved all of the meditations, my favourites are:
Chakra sounds
Chakra Balancing and Prayer
Kundalini
Dynamic
Headless
No dimension
Nadabrahma
Mindful movement

The Dynamic has been the most experiential. The combination of practices are great and its so fantastic to be able to let go in Catharisis…so liberating
iii) Clarity and Understanding
The main clarity and understanding comes from thinking about the lifestyle of modern man. How all we do is think about our own needs and wants, putting ourselves under enormous stress. We have forgotten how to live joyously and in harmony with ourselves, each other and the planet. It’s a beautiful thing to find the peace and happiness when living in the present moment, with appreciation and gratitude for everything that surrounds. The other thing is the silence period understanding how communication and socialisation can cause so much stress.
iv) Factors, points or practices that are helping me to stay more balanced, peaceful and joyful.
The environment is so peaceful. Just looking out at the mountains and surroundings, all that one can see and hear brings enormous joy and gratitude.

My experience of this training was very intense. The structure of this course is developed in the scientific method on all the aspects. Guruji Bodhi Sattva is an amazing teacher. He is more than 100% dedicated to this course and to his teaching. I’m considering I’m lucky and honored to have the opportunity to be his student. All the services are organized in such a way that we can have all the conditions to be relaxed and in pace, to integrate all the experiences on the training. I can feel the care and love from all the team members.

I’m in fully gratitude for everything.

1. i) I have gained more clarity, rest, I am more grounded, feel lighter, joyous, energic, less thought, more open, peaceful, harmonious. I feel like all my chakra is open. A previously obtained experience I knowledge finds its place.
2. ii) Dynamic meditation, chakra balancing, chakra balance, kundalini meditation and headless meditation in combination with the silent period. The activating character has been of major importance, especially dynamic meditation. I utterly love the subtle energy practices. The silent days have contributed a lot in becoming aware of my unawareness and have been a great opportunity to practice and will be a reminder (point of reference) for the future. It was also good because I came aware of the effects of the meditations we had practiced before.
3. iii) 24-hour awareness is needed much more clarity and focus on myself and the future the cleared idea of how to live in modern society and deal with its challenges more clarity in what needs to be changed in my life The necessity to do the things you do with full awareness and for 100% How like to grow more on the path of yoga
4. iv) Awareness instructions Moving/dancing/expressing Being in nature Talking time to genuine listen/ observe Soft focusing with heart awareness All meditations Kirtan To be blissful Silent days To guard my energy and time

This course has been incredibly eye-opening, heart-opening, humbling, transformative and so so much more. I learned many life lessons but just a few that touched and created a shift in me were these; ACCEPT SURRENDER, TRUST and “SERIOUSNESS IS A DISEASE”. I feel that I’m learning to accept myself and will continue to grow in that every day, surrounding my “control”, learning to trust experience, and taking a new approach to live life playfully and full of joy and love for all. When I came to India I was lost and taking a sense of purpose and connection. I now feel that although it is not totally clear, I do know what path I’m on and I can relax and trust it. I also feel a new loving connection to myself, others and life itself. The program was intense and exhausting at times and I had no idea what to expect but I’m so thankful for all of it. I feel very well prepared to take these practices and mindfulness hour and incorporate them into my daily life and share with others. I’m also in awe of all the wonderful resources we are being sent home with. I’m so grateful for this experience and looking forward to the journey ahead, knowing I will always have the love and support of all the beautiful souls I have met here at Yoga Essence. My heart is so full.

My overall experience of the program was very positive. From start to finish the program encompassed deep knowledge, guidance, and integrity. It was thorough, organized, and rich with wisdom. Each teacher helps their role exceptionally well. Swamiji led from his heart. He provided humour, kindness, deep connection, and interest in sharing the knowledge of his program. He designed the program intelligently and passionately. He showed portrayed the role of a teacher, a guru, and an authentic human being. Sambodhi was poised and graceful while sharing her wisdom through science and psychology. She delivered her teachings in an efficient and manageable way for anyone to understand. The three teachers made me feel comfortable. welcome, and excited to learn about meditation, lifestyle, and yogic principles. Himadri was a lovely face to see, as well as Prasad. Without Himadri’s initiative and kindness, I don’t think I would have found myself at Yoga Essence. The food was always prepared with kindness and cleanliness.  The food was always prepared with kindness and cleanliness. The staff continuously made personal dietary changes to meet the needs of myself and others. Several times I asked for various additions, and they gladly provided it to me. I loved breakfast and lunch. The team overall in all departments was top! Thanks to Yoga Essence Family.
