Thursday, April 27 to Tuesday, May 2, 2017 (5-day) or April 27-30 (3-day)
Led by Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar
Light on the Hill Retreat Center, Van Etten, New York
Light on the Hill is honored to welcome world renowned Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar, master of sacred sounds (naada yoga), breath (swara yoga), and spiritual wisdom.
We all agree that life is too rushed and hectic. We are frequently subjected to excess bodily toxicity, unnatural life-styles, negative thinking (our own and others), and emotional shock. The Purification Retreat offers a five-day or three-day cleansing program. Many past participants have found this program life transforming. It is based on an ancient understanding that we possess two invisible bodies in addition to our physical body–the subtle body and the causal body. These non-material bodies have a significant influence on our feelings and thoughts.
A Three-Body Purification is designed to flush out the toxicity, purify the physical body, uncover buried feelings and repressed memories, and interrupt obsessive thought patterns. The retreat’s regimen includes a a variety of dietary protocols (details available on the Chakra Institute page); yoga and InnerTuning® movements; the practice of early morning silence; twice-daily classes in Microchakra Psychology™; and the chanting of special sounds and mantras.
Classes are led by Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar, one of the world’s foremost practitioners of naada and swara yoga, the yogas of sound and breath. Shyamji’s unique ability to produce with his voice the ethereal element of surya (golden) aakaasha is the key to the powerful changes every participant in the retreat can expect. The absorption of surya akasha purifies apaana, facilitates meditation, and helps to integrate the three bodies, lessening the sense of being detached from life. These are the conditions that enable psychological resolutions to be made.
