Uncovering the symbolic nature of AUM
Through the practice of asana, pranayama, yantra and mantra
A 2-day workshop with rachel zinman
Liechtenstein April 26-27, 2008
In Tantra, the mantra AUM is used to transcend the ordinary thinking mind, touching a space that is eternal. Inherent in the sound Aum is both the unconscious, conscious and super conscious mind. When we chant Aum out loud we bring peace to this body, heart and mind and allow a stillness to flood our being. The yantra or symbol of Aum has a five-fold meaning related to both the physical body and our subtle energy field.
Spend 2 days with senior Ishta teacher Rachel Zinman exploring both the symbol and the sound of Aum by understanding how it can change your physicality and expand your consciousness through the practice of asanas -that promote awareness of your inherent life force, pranayamas that expand your energy field, and the chanting of Aum to connect to the essence of who you are.
