Friday, April 1 - Fusing Healing and Spiritual Unfoldment
If this world is a hospital, then we are its patients. Our work is to restore balance within and without. Discover how meditative traditions have viewed the healing process and its relationship to spiritual growth. Explore the theory and techniques of personal health and well-being, and develop a spirit of optimism that will see you through when your health is less than its best. This evening program will include:
· seeing the positive potential of illness
· cultivating psychological strengths and strategies for health
· recognizing the significance of emotional imbalances
· using healing mantras
· creating a restorative sense of spiritual openness.
Saturday and Sunday, April 2 and 3 - Yoga Philosophy
Yoga arises from a faith that the everyday rivulets and streams of human life lead to an ocean of joy. This philosophy of self-expansion is embodied in the practice of postures, in the serenity of relaxed breathing, and in the harmony and exquisite peace of meditation. In yoga, philosophy and practice bolster one another.
The clearest exposition of yoga philosophy is found in two texts: The Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. These classics lay out the journey of yoga from beginning to end. Join Dr. Sovik for a weekend focused on the study of both texts, but containing a generous dose of yoga practice as well – a blend that will satisfy body, mind, and heart.
Rolf Sovik, PsyD, is the president of the Himalayan Institute and a practitioner of meditation for nearly forty years. He is author of Moving Inward: the Journey to Meditation and co-author of Yoga: Mastering the Basics. A clinical psychologist, he writes regularly for Yoga International magazine and travels widely teaching about the practice and philosophy of meditation
