SUMMARY:Sound Healing Foundation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sound Healing Foundation Workshop\nFrom Mystery and mythology to method and Mastery\nMarch 25 – 28\, 2027\nwith Sanj Hall \nInstructions in English \nEverything in the universe vibrates at a natural frequency\, possessing a unique energy signature. \nSound energy that matches an individual’s natural frequency can bring a holistic resonance and well-being (“sonic homeostasis”). Mismatched frequencies could lead to “dis-comfort” or “dis-ease.”  This ancient wisdom has evolved over centuries through self-reflection\, deep understanding of Vedas\, and practicing the simple yogic and healthy lifestyle and achieving a profound “awareness” of oneness. \nIn today’s world these aspects are explained in terms of algorithms\, frequencies\, brain waves and delving deeper into therapeutic use of healing music and sound. Sound is the medicine of the future – or at least a catalyst\, a tonic derived from sonic theology that gives that inner resilience\, the immunity and strong faith in well-being. This healing can manage and regulate the stress\, fast pace life\, circadian  rhythm\, chakra balance and numerous triggers and stimulus both for self and to help others heal. \nThese time-tested modalities (using psychoacoustics and bioacoustics methods) are also fused with ancient healing instruments\, such as\, gongs\, bowls\, shamanic drums\, conch and use of other wind\, string instruments along with inner voice. Scientists and medical clinical research have further added vibroacoustic interventions created acoustically\, electronically and digitally. \nAt TonicSonic Cytoacoustics Institute along with Parmarth Niketan Ashram\, we endeavour to unlock these mysteries\, understand and learn some of the techniques and imbibe its philosophy\, ethos and technology that has merged together in putting a well-integrated\, unique yet simplified program of these complex subjects at multi-dimensional levels. \nOur “Foundation Course in Sound Healing” integrates a variety of instruments and includes extensive practice sessions to build proficiency\, though continued personal practice is encouraged. You will be taught how to select and use the most appropriate instrument or mix of instruments for a client’s specific needs. This is Part 1 of Practitioners Program in Sound Healing and Gong Mastery. \nThese eternal sounds and tonicsonic work is brought to you by Sanj Hall\, a traveling gong yogi who has taken the divine order to spread the goodness of gongs and its teachings around the world. He extensively travels to Europe\, Middle East\, Asia and North America both in medical conferences\, music festivals\, as well in ashrams and monasteries in India\, Nepal Bhutan. \nEach day begins with yoga and yagna / homa for World Healing and Peace; and\, ends with the world-renowned Ganga Aarti on the holy banks of Ma Ganga in the lap of the sacred and majestic Himalayas followed by the spiritual Satsang with Pujya Sadhviji and / or Darshan with Pujya Swamiji when they are at the Ashram\, making it a truly immersive experience. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Kundalini Shakti Vidya with Tara Maa
DESCRIPTION:Kundalini Shakti Vidya with Tara Maa\nApril 21 – 25\, 2027\nInstructions in English \nwith Tara Maa \nKundalini Shakti Vidya with Tara Maa is a Tantric practice of the bhava / intent and devotion\, mudra / ritual gestures\, mantra / sacred sounds\, and mandala / sacred geometry that leads to siddhis / discovering the Divine in all beings. We sit in silence to control our thoughts\, words and actions as we flow in alignment with the Universe. This is where Shiva / consciousness and Shakti / creativity and wisdom are intimately connected to bring healing\, peace and harmony to self and your little piece of the world. With this Kundalini Shakti Vidya practice we realize the Universe is one Consciousness [Shiva] expressing itself as countless different forms [Shakti]. \nIn many Shakta and Shaiva traditions\, the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet are known as ‘Matrikas’ – ‘Mother’. Kundalini Shakti Vidya explores how chanting the sacred Sanskrit alphabet can be used as a meditation to recognise and awake to the Kundalini Shakti within. Experience the deeper understanding of Shakti as the living power\, action and energy within all living beings which is already present within us. \nKundalini Shakti Vidya gives you the opportunity to access your inner power for a full and meaningful life with grace\, bliss and peace. Learn to live from your divinity and be fully present\, engaged but not entangled in the world to experience joy\, bliss\, and delight; and\, the beauty\, mysticism and power of Shiva Shakti within. \nWith prana\, kriya\, mudra\, mantra\, mandala\, satsang\, breathwork and ecstatic dance meditation\, you will be guided to release trauma held in the body to reduce anxiety\, stress and fears; and\, discover a better way of being. Improve your sleep\, mental and emotional health and wellness to live with a deeper sense of focus\, motivation\, creativity\, clarity\, compassion\, courage and intuition with higher vitality and energy. \nIt’s time to unlock your full potential! You are a divine being capable of accessing and living from your Divine Self. \nDiscover who you are beyond the roles you play in society. Let go old beliefs that no longer serve you; activate your chakras to live from the heart as you balance your human and divine qualities; and\, experience your ego-self surrender to your Divine Self to embody the Universal Shiva Consciousness and live as Shakti. \nEach day begins with yoga and yagna for World Health and World Peace; and\, ends with the world-renowned Ganga Aarti on the holy banks of Ma Ganga in the sacred lap of the majestic Himalayas followed by the spiritual Satsang with Pujya Sadhviji and / or Darshan with Pujya Swamiji when they are at the Ashram. You will have opportunities for individual coaching with Tara Maa by appointment if needed. \nDress code: Modest for Ashram setting. You may wear colours that inspire your spiritual and emotional well being. \nPlease bring writing materials [pen / journal\, ipad\, art materials\, etc.] to record your insights and discoveries and water bottle to stay hydrated. \n

SUMMARY:Vedantic Path to Self-Realisation - 2
DESCRIPTION:Vedantic Path to Self-Realisation – 2\nSeptember 12 – 21\, 2027\n\n\n\n\nThis beautiful 9 day course is an introduction into the study of Vedanta\, the practical path to self-realisation and liberation (moksha).  We will delve deep into the Self to find the solution to problems that the world presents to us for a path from illusion\, miseries\, sufferings and death to eternal happiness\, bliss and freedom. \nWe will study the basic Vedantic introductory text\, the Atmabodha and Ishavasya Upanishad\, which very clearly explain the purpose of life and the path of Sadhna. \nAtma Bodha literally means the knowledge of Self\, the real and permanent by discriminating from unreal or impermanent. As we study the AtmaBodha [a consciousness to distinguish between the material and spiritual dimensions of our life] we will reflect on applying this wisdom practically into our lives. \nIshavasya Upanishad is the 1st of the 11 main Upanishads having 18 verses derived from the 40th chapter of Shukla Yajurveda. ‘Isha’ literally means “ruler\, master\, lord”; ‘vasyam’ means “hidden in\, covered with\, enveloped by”. So\, the theme of this Upanishad is ‘Whence the God is hidden in or enveloped by’. Thence\, it takes us through the nature of truth and its application in practical life beautifully and lays down the path to realise That Universal Truth\, now and here itself. \nTo understand clearly the impact of the combination of our material life and spiritual journey\, this course becomes very important for everyone who is seeking eternal happiness\, bliss and freedom. \nEach day begins with yoga and yagna; includes meditation by the holy banks of Mother Ganga\, morning walks\, and\, ends with the world-renowned Ganga Aarti on the holy banks of Maa Ganga in the sacred lap of the majestic Himalayas followed by the spiritual Satsang with Pujya Sadhviji and/or Darshan with Pujya Swamiji [when they are available] providing a beautiful immersive experience of the sacred wisdom of Vedantic teachings. \nPlease note this program ends at 1 pm on the last day.  Do plan your departure from the Ashram accordingly preferably after lunch. \nDress Code:  Modest clothing in white that is not see-through which covers the upper arms\, cleavage and lower legs. \n\n

SUMMARY:Sound Healing Foundation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sound Healing Foundation Workshop\nFrom Mystery and mythology to method and Mastery\nOctober 6 – 11\, 2027\nwith Sanj Hall \nInstructions in English \nEverything in the universe vibrates at a natural frequency\, possessing a unique energy signature. \nSound energy that matches an individual’s natural frequency can bring a holistic resonance and well-being (“sonic homeostasis”). Mismatched frequencies could lead to “dis-comfort” or “dis-ease.”  This ancient wisdom has evolved over centuries through self-reflection\, deep understanding of Vedas\, and practicing the simple yogic and healthy lifestyle and achieving a profound “awareness” of oneness. \nIn today’s world these aspects are explained in terms of algorithms\, frequencies\, brain waves and delving deeper into therapeutic use of healing music and sound. Sound is the medicine of the future – or at least a catalyst\, a tonic derived from sonic theology that gives that inner resilience\, the immunity and strong faith in well-being. This healing can manage and regulate the stress\, fast pace life\, circadian  rhythm\, chakra balance and numerous triggers and stimulus both for self and to help others heal. \nThese time-tested modalities (using psychoacoustics and bioacoustics methods) are also fused with ancient healing instruments\, such as\, gongs\, bowls\, shamanic drums\, conch and use of other wind\, string instruments along with inner voice. Scientists and medical clinical research have further added vibroacoustic interventions created acoustically\, electronically and digitally. \nAt TonicSonic Cytoacoustics Institute along with Parmarth Niketan Ashram\, we endeavour to unlock these mysteries\, understand and learn some of the techniques and imbibe its philosophy\, ethos and technology that has merged together in putting a well-integrated\, unique yet simplified program of these complex subjects at multi-dimensional levels. \nOur “Foundation Course in Sound Healing” integrates a variety of instruments and includes extensive practice sessions to build proficiency\, though continued personal practice is encouraged. You will be taught how to select and use the most appropriate instrument or mix of instruments for a client’s specific needs. This is Part 1 of Practitioners Program in Sound Healing and Gong Mastery. \nThese eternal sounds and tonicsonic work is brought to you by Sanj Hall\, a traveling gong yogi who has taken the divine order to spread the goodness of gongs and its teachings around the world. He extensively travels to Europe\, Middle East\, Asia and North America both in medical conferences\, music festivals\, as well in ashrams and monasteries in India\, Nepal Bhutan. \nEach day begins with yoga and yagna / homa for World Healing and Peace; and\, ends with the world-renowned Ganga Aarti on the holy banks of Ma Ganga in the lap of the sacred and majestic Himalayas followed by the spiritual Satsang with Pujya Sadhviji and / or Darshan with Pujya Swamiji when they are at the Ashram\, making it a truly immersive experience. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Ayurveda with Megan
DESCRIPTION:Ayurveda with Megan\nA Six-Day Immersive at the Source\nNovember 14 – 20\, 2027\nwith Megan Cayler \nInstructions in English \nAyurveda is a living science — one that belongs in the body\, the kitchen\, the morning\, and the breath. This six-day immersive is an invitation to bring it home for you. \nSix days in Rishikesh—the birthplace of Yoga—held within the sacred rhythm of Parmarth Niketan Ashram on the holy banks of Maa Ganga. Each day is guided by nature’s elemental rhythms through Yagya\, Aarti\, and Kirtan alongside dedicated teaching sessions in Ayurvedic philosophy\, food as medicine\, Dinacharya [daily routine]\, seasonal living\, the subtle body\, and the Ayurvedic mind. Expert Ashram teachers in Pranayama\, Asana\, Kriya\, Sound Healing\, and Mantra deepen the learning to integrate this ancient wisdom at every level. \nThe healer within you is already present. This course is the practice of remembering that—and building the daily Sadhana to sustain it. \nEach participant leaves with a personal Ayurvedic protocol\, a Dinacharya (daily routine)\, a seasonal guide\, a Bija Mantra practice\, and a complimentary follow-up consultation with Living Ritual within 60 days. \nThis is a lifelong journey. It begins and returns to you. \nEach day begins with yoga and yagna for World Health and World Peace; and\, ends with the world-renowned GangaAarti on the holy banks of Ma Ganga in the sacred lap of the majestic Himalayas followed by the spiritual Satsang with Pujya Sadhviji and / or Darshan with Pujya Swamiji when they are at the Ashram. \nDress code: Modest for the Ashram setting. \nPlease bring writing materials [pen / journal\, ipad\, art materials\, etc.] to record your insights and discoveries. \nOpen to all. No prior experience is required. \n

SUMMARY:Yoga Nidra
DESCRIPTION:Yoga Nidra\nDecember 16 – 19\, 2027\nInstructions in English \nAs life gets more stressful\, complicated\, insecure and disconnected\, most of us are seeking a system for restfulness\, clarity\, connection and peace. Yoga Nidra is one of the most ancient meditative practices in the holistic systems we can use to attain this clarity and oneness with self and the Divine. ‘Nidra’ means sleep. Yoga Nidra is sleep which allows the mind to be alert for clarity as the body rests in shavasana. \nThis is sleep with a difference! From the Tantric tradition\, this Yoga Nidra program includes prayers\, asana\, pranayama and meditation to access the goddess of Nidra within for rejuvenation\, clarity and intuition. Yoga Nidra gives you an opportunity for intense awareness and creativity to travel the spiritual path while being fully present in the daily life at home\, work and play. \nEach day concludes with Ganga Havan & Aarti at sunset on the holy banks of Ma Ganga followed by Satsang with Pujya Sadhviji and / or Darshan with Pujya Swamiji when they are in the Ashram. \n
