SAT NAM RASAYAN - The Healing Art of the Yogis with Hari Das Kaur

Sundays at 8pm

Join us for an experience that will change your perception of reality and bring you a deep state of peace!

Sat Nam Rasayan is rooted in the healing traditions of Kundalini Yoga. It is based on the quality of human consciousness that allows it to become transcendent. Anyone can learn Sat Nam Rasayan!

We will begin with pranayams and meditation and then explore Sat Nam Rasayan which is performed between a healer/teacher and an individual or group. SNR has a variety of uses:
It can alleviate depression, anxiety, stress, or be used to diagnose specific physical diseases and their root cause.

It can also bring a deep state of peace to the healer, as it requires entering a very high meditative state to an expanded consciousness so that the healer can "pick up" on the "discontinuity" of energy flow in the subject's physical and subtle bodies.

Fee: $20

All are welcome, no experience needed.
