From Breakdown to Breakthrough
10-WEEK LIVE ONLINE COURSE
June 12- August 14, 2022, Sundays, 10:00-11:30am Eastern
Today, life can be very demanding, overwhelming and exhausting.
It can be hard to find balance in our priorities and responsibilities and sometimes we need to go through a breakdown or see someone we love go through one in order to have a breakthrough or an Aha! Moment.
Often, breakdowns lead us down a path to having a better understanding of ourselves and of our emotions. At first, we can feel that we are losing our minds and feel out of control. It is extremely overwhelming and nothing about it is pleasant but if we learn how to approach these difficult and challenging times in a healthy way we can learn valuable lessons that will help us grow and evolve into healthier and higher levels of thinking, of doing and of being.
There are so many layers that make us who we are, but if we learn to dig deeper we can tap into our emotional blockages and transform them into opportunities. If we want to create a better and stronger and more empowered version of ourselves we need to learn how to use mindfulness practices like meditation, deep breath work, yoga exercises, and gratitude in our day to day lives. Having a daily practice will direct us in the right direction even in the most difficult of times, it will keep us grounded and focused on what is important and it will renew our energy and keep our vibration high.
Join Swami Shambhudevananda on this journey and learn how to treat your breakdowns as opportunities and how to reframe your mind from a breakdown to a breakthrough!
During this transformational journey you’ll discover
- How to develop Emotional Resilience through yogic techniques.
- What is the secret in developing a Breakthrough Mentality
- How to transform Failure into a Stepping Stone to Success
- The Power of Vision & Faith
- How to Work with Reality, not on it or against it
If you feel challenged, overwhelmed and traumatized by life intensive events, these teachings are specifically designed to help you grow on your spiritual path.
It is not necessary to have any background in yogic practices in order to register for this course.
What you'll learn:
- Laya Chintana is the method of absorption. The effect is absorbed in its cause.
- Margining into the intellect, which in turn merges into the unmanifested universe, which then merges into the Supreme Imperishable Brahman.
- The elements of creation merge with each other, starting with the grossest and proceeding to the subtlest. The processes of merging is: earth into water, water into fire, fire into air, air into ether, ether into the unmanifest, and the unmanifest into Brahman.
- The microcosm merges with the macrocosm. The individual merges with the universe, the soul merges in Brahman. All external attributes gradually merge into their Source.
- Panchikarana is a method that further develops the concept of absorption of the gross into the subtle by breaking down the components of the body and its functions into the five basic elements called Tanmatras. When it is seen that these are not the Self, they may be either absorbed into each other or discarded by negation. In either case, one arrives at the Self, which is beyond them all
- By negating the ideas of possessiveness and attachment to the illusory qualities of the body and mind, one can achieve liberation.
- Negative emotions, such as anger, delusion and fear, belong to the ether portion of the five elements. Therefore, they cannot be the Self or Atman. They are negated and identification with them becomes impossible.
