In search of the divine we go everywhere; we go to places of pilgrimage, visit temples, follow many paths and disciplines and ignore the body. Our body is the most sacred place of pilgrimage we could ever come to. It is the dwelling place of the divine.

The Amrit Methods of Yoga and Yoga Nidra are experiential techniques that integrate the conflicting stress-producing forces of body, mind and emotions into harmonious unity. You will learn how to enter the alpha brain wave state to activate the healing and regenerative wisdom of your body by:

Employing powerful techniques to harness and harmonize the restless mind and enter into the deepest levels of relaxation, tranquility and stillness.

Empowering you to manage daily challenges in your personal life, professional life, tough transition times and health issues that rob you of your creative vital life force.

Entering into the meditative inward focus in the practice of breath and yoga postures

Yoga Nidra activates the power of the Third Eye, which releases the pineal gland secretion yogis call amrita, known in science as melatonin. Studies reveal that melatonin:

· Heals stress-related disorders

· Recharges and balances the neuroglandular system

· Boosts the immune system

· Retards premature aging

· Induces more restful sleep

· Reduces blood pressure

You will be empowered to be released from pre-programmed stress-related conditions initiating paradigm shifts from the deepest core of your being, providing you with powerful tools to eliminate stress and banish self-destructive beliefs and habits. Gain new insights that will guide you toward the unfoldment of a new life.
