Third Eye and Psychic Chakra

Yaizu :Saturday June 20 2009 at 7:00 pm

    The pineal gland makes various neurochemicals which acts with serotonin to make an hallucinogen (DMT) similar to the hallucinogenic, tea, Ayahuasca, used by Amazonian shamans specifically for psychic purposes. This suggests that the pineal gland truly is our third eye, our psychic centre, the physical location of Ajna Chakra. This aspect of the pineal gland is thought to be the trigger for dreaming, which takes us into a psychic state of consciousness every night.

Workshop : Opening the Third Eye: Meditations for Ajna chakra

Yaizu: Sunday June 21 at 9:00 - 15:30

During the past 5 years research in India, first at a Yogic Ashram university, and then at a Tibetan monastery, has been exploring the Yogic and Buddhist teaching that advancement in meditation leads to expanded awareness and enhanced psychic ability. Whilst the primary emphasis of both Buddhist and Yogic practices are on spiritual development, becoming a more peaceful, compassionate and joyful human being, these are difficult to measure scientifically. So a measure of expanded awareness has been developed in which precognitive and clairvoyant ability are measured.

Swami Satyananda Saraswati locates the physical aspect of ajna chakra in the pineal gland and has developed a programme of exercises for opening up this centre. The research on the pineal gland will be discussed and some of the yogic breathing and meditation techniques taught, together with a simple psychic test.

This workshop teaches you how to understand your dreams, so that you can use them to help you in your daily life. We shall work with some techniques, such as dream sharing, word association, and dream induction, that help you to understand your dreams, as a source of wise counsel, as your own personal free psychotherapist, for creativity and for help with problem solving. Then we will go into the spiritual, mythic, archetypal aspect of dreams, where we shall work with precognitive and clairvoyant dreaming, and our inner guide, which enables us to connect directly with spirit for major transformation.

It is helpful to keep a record of your dreams for a few weeks before the workshop so that you will have plenty of material to work with.

   Talk: A Psychophysiology of the Yogic Chakra System

Shizuoka Thursday? July 2 at 7:30

Yaizu Saturday July 4 2009 at 7:00 pm

Swami Satyananda Saraswati locates the physical aspect of the ajna chakra in the pineal gland. He says that it is both the psychic centre and also the command chakra, in charge of all the other chakras. The pineal gland, makes a neurohormone called melatonin which is the off-switch for many of the endocrine hormones. A deeply enlightening, and essentially practical, understanding of the chakra system emerges from this research.

Workshop :Meditations for the Chakras - Swara Yoga: Science of the Breath

Yaizu Sunday July 5 2009 at 9:30 til 3;30

Through a 6-year programme of research into meditation and psychic awareness with Yogis and Tibetan Buddhist monks, we have been gaining a greater understanding of consciousness, and its relationship with the energy body, the chakras and prana.

The pineal makes melatonin which controls the hormones, the physical aspect of the chakra system. Working with yogic techniques we can learn to control and balance this aspect of our being.

Swara yoga is the yoga of prana, the life force of the universe, and how we connect with this. Tibetans say that, in order to consciously use one’s psychic awareness, you have to purify what they call the “wind channels,” which are the energy channels (the nadis) and chakras of the body. In this workshop we will learn to work with prana in the subtle energy channels. We will do breath exercises for the physical and emotional levels, and prana vidya meditations for the psychic and spiritual levels.

4.     Tibetan Psychic Traditions

Yaizu Friday July 10 At 7:30pm

The Tibetan culture is renowned for its psychic practitioners.This talk presents a brief overview of a selection of Tibetan beliefs in psychic awareness. The oldest Tibetan traditions are those of the oracles, which involves deity possession, and the practice of Mo divination which is done both by high lamas and by village people. Tibetans use psychic practices extensively in every day life, and so have much to teach us from their experience about the dangers of psychic practices.

workshop : Divination Techniques East and West (max 20 pers)

Yaizu Saturday July 11 at 9:30 – 15:30

Sunday Shizuoka July 12 at 9:30-15:30 (if enough demands)

Divination is an expression of an underlying world order. As one works with the symbolism and penetrates more deeply into its meaning, one learns by its aid to arrive at an integrated view of the world, to see the one in the many.

Divination is the method of seeing what the future might hold, and so can help in deciding the most appropriate course of action, or way of being in a situation. In this workshop the essential basis of divination will be taught, incorporating synchronistic methods such as Tarot and I Ching, the biofeedback method of dowsing and the direct clairvoyance of “scrying.” Some people prefer one method, some another, so the best method for you will emerge during the course of the day.
