Mind Mastery, Going for a 100% Life

We learn how to read and write but no one teaches us how to optimally use our mind. Ceekr is a research company, researching the human mind for the last many years. The most valuable vault of information was found in the ancient Indian/ Vedic texts and Yogic wisdom. While deciphering the working of the mind, the research led to the creation of a tool for measurement, called YogiMeter. Just as fitness measurement revolutionised the health industry. Ceekr endeavours to bring mental wellness and mind literacy to the fore. The diagnostic test allows to gauge where a person’s mind is working towards their well being and where it’s working against it. Along with this, Ceekr has devised a system of simple remediation based on the Yogic practices. Secondly, Mind literacy courses serve as a methodology for sustained improvement/ enhancement of our life outcomes. The study reveals that the whole human experience is determined by our mind, which governs our choices and biochemistry. Our work is to help people understand and observe the causality between their mind, their choices and their biochemistry. To remediate and use the understanding and knowledge for getting sustainable winning outcomes for life.

Blending Inner Peace and Dynamic Action

One of the great insights presented in the Bhagavad Gita is that inner peace and dynamic activity can coexist. In fact, we profoundly elevate the quality of actions by first being anchored in inner peace– “Yogasthah kuru karmāṇi” (Bhagavad Gita 2.48). In this Yoginsight episode, we explore how introspective practices in yoga (antaranga sādhana) are not merely passive practices; they energize the system and imbue our actions with extraordinary potency.

Embracing the Power of Sound & Vibration

Embracing the Power of Sound & Vibration

A Deep Dive Into the Technology of Sound Consciousness

Join Advait Danke as he shares insights and practical steps on Embracing the Power of Sound and Vibrations based on the ancient wisdom teachings of Nada Yoga, Meditation, Sound Therapy and Raga-Chikitsa. Everything in life is Vibration. Science now tells us that this universe is vibrating. That means, the whole existence is nothing but sound, or a complex amalgamation of frequencies. Sound waves are the carrier of our consciousness. Let us discover a spiritual yet scientific approach towards embracing the power of sound and music in our daily lives. Today, modern science is rediscovering just how powerful sound and music really is, and how it can be applied to balance energy and immunity, enhance creativity and performance, to improve focus and concentration, to reduce stress, and the lifestyle challenges that come from it, and to bring calm and peace to our day in the midst of our busy lives. Take time for yourself to recover, reflect, and release with a Sound Meditation, facilitated by Advait Danke. You’ll go on a journey inwards — through the complex harmonies and textures of healing music, to the quieter sound waves and harmonic overtones of the divine sounds. Join us in this fascinating session with Advait where we talk about vibrational frequencies, consciousness, sound, music, meditation, audio technology and more!

Yoga and Fascias: Feel the Flow of Life in the Body

According to the latest neuroscience researchers, fascias are like a huge net, sustaining the whole body and embracing all the organs. It has been discovered that some chronic pains like back pain could have their origin in a rigidity of the fascias. Fascias are very sensitive and tend to stiffen with stress and age. But the good news is that they can soften and be stimulated by movement and motion through yoga practice.

Patanjali Yogasutra Chanting

पातञ्जल–योगसूत्र–पाठः
Pātañjala yogasūtra pāțha

Yoga-Sutra Chanting Workshop (Sadhana-pada /Chapter-2)

This workshop is the second in a series on the Yoga Sutras. In the previous workshop, we learned to chant sutras from the Samadhi pada.  In this workshop we will learn to chant the 55 sutras of the Sadhana pada.

Introduction:

In the universe, every object has a specific vibrational frequency. The condition of the object can be analysed through its frequency. It is said that the human body stays healthy if it lies at a frequency of 62-78MHz. Diseases start when the frequency drops down from this stipulated frequency. The drop-down in frequency will weaken the immune system, making the body vulnerable. The recitation of the yoga sutras can assist in maintaining the frequency of a healthy human body. Proper and conscious chanting can also establish mental balance and restore human health.

The Yoga-sutra contains 195 sutras divided into four chapters – Samadhi pada, Sadhana pada, Vibhuti pada and Kaivalya pada. Sutras carry a wealth of knowledge. These sutras are a glimpse of the experiential learning of Maharshi Patanjali, credited with this text, the most authentic source on Yoga philosophy. The recitation of those sutras is the beginning step in understanding the yoga sutra as a child learns only sounds in its initial growth. As Valmiki was initiated with the Rama mantra by Sage Narada, he went to a deeper understanding of the word that comes out as a Ramayana. Similarly, reciting the sutra will bring a profound experience of the text and transformation in oneself.

Objectives:

  • To know the proper way of recitation of Sutra
  • To understand the sutra meaning through conscious chanting
  • To understand the phonetics of Sanskrit letters and words.
  • To improve our Sanskrit pronunciation
  • To attain mental balance and good health.

Expected outcomes:

  • Improvement in the pronunciation of Indian languages
  • Some understanding to split the words from complex forms.
  • Easy to read and memorize the Sadhana pada of Yoga-Sutra.

Dates: 06th December,2022 to 04th January,2023 (weekly two classes on every Tuesday and Wednesday)

Session Days:

  • Dec: 06, 07, 13, 14, 20, 21, 27, 28
  • Jan: 03, 04

Mode: Online zoom platform

Medium of instruction: English & Sanskrit

Time: 6:00-7:00 PM IST

Fee: For Indian Nationals Rs.1000/- INR & International Participants $20 USD
