The Art of Silence course
The Art of Silence Course provides optimal conditions for going deep within, quieting our mental chatter, and experiencing deep rest and inner peace. The practice of silence – of consciously withdrawing our energy and attention from outer distractions – has been used in different traditions throughout time as a pathway to physical, mental, and spiritual renewal. By participating in various course processes specifically designed to take us beyond our usually active “monkey minds”, we experience an extraordinary sense of peace and renewed energy that we carry home with us. The course features:
- Rejuvenating yoga

Art of Meditation course
Effortless path to genuine relaxation through meditation.
Everyone has experienced a meditative state in moments of deep joy, or when completely engrossed in an activity, when just for a moment the mind becomes so light and at ease. While we have such moments, we are unable to repeat them at will. The Sahaj Samadhi course teaches you how.It is a meditation technique which is designed to self-heal and improve general body health and mind state. These meditation techniques almost instantly alleviates the practitioner from stress related problems.
Sahaj is a Sanskrit word that means natural or effortless. Samadhi is a deep, blissful, meditative state. Sahaj Samadhi meditation is a natural, effortless system of meditation.
Regular practice of the technique can totally transform the quality of one’s life, by culturing the system to maintain the peace, energy, and expanded awareness of meditation throughout the day. These meditation techniques combined with yogic practices can ensure good health and calm mind.
- Meditation allows the conscious mind to settle deeply into the Self, giving it rest
- When the mind settles down, it lets go of all tension, making one healthy & focused
How does Sahaj Samadhi meditation work?
The participant is given a mantra which allows the experience of meditation to be deeper. When the mind and nervous system are allowed to repose a few moments in profound silence, the blocks that suffocate our progress gradually dissolve.
Why should we repose in the Self?
How is this going to help in our day-to-day life?
When a river is calm, its reflection is clearer. When the mind is calm, there is greater clarity in the field of expression. Our powers of observation, perception and expression improve. As a result we are able to communicate effectively and clearly.
What are the benefits of using a mantra?
In Sanskrit, a mantra is described as, “Manana trayate iti mantra.”. Mantra is that which saves you from repetitiveness. A repetitive thought is a worry. Mantras help to free you from worries.
