We'll begin with a group dialog process to distinguish between the voice of the True-Self and voices of the "parts" of the ego-mind. Parts are identified with our experiences, beliefs, roles, and responsibilities. We'll listen to them to create a powerful resolution which can overcome their obstacles.
Participants report that this simple exercise has given them powerful self-understanding and compassion, and effortless access to a meditative state.
Sankalpa Part 2: Writing Workshop
A sankalpa is a statement, a short declaration of something we are 100% resolved to obtaining in the next 6-18 months. It can focus on any deep longing of the soul - career success, loving relationship, clarity around life's purpose, an attitude we want to adopt, or spiritual connection or commitment.
New years resolutions often fail, because a single part of the ego-mind sets the goal. In the Big Mind we'll discover what might be blocking us from having what we long for already. Then, build support into the statement itself.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a profound tantric practice of Yogic Sleep. It's a journey into the deepest levels of relaxation while still remaining fully aware. In this deep state of relaxation we deprogram layer of tension. The brain is open to suggestion. So, we'll implant the sankapla in the subconscious mind and connect with spiritual resources to help manifest it.
If you are only attending this portion of the event, an empowering and universal statement will be offered for you to use.

Yoga Nidra is performed lying on the floor in shavasana or "corpse pose."

We recommend lying 1-2 thick blankets on top of a yoga mat

A small pillow or folded towel can be placed underneath your head
-
If you have back pain in shavasana, place a bolster, rolled blanket, or bed pillows under the knees

You may get cold during the practice, so feel free to cover up with a light blanket

Heavy eye pillows are not recommended. To block out light, gently drape a light fabric over the eyes
