Description

Description

Chakra Institute offers you an online Purification Retreat with carefully selected recorded materials from Sri Shyamji’s lectures, sacred sounds from the previous retreats kept in our library and enriching live classes led by senior students.

Nature has designed us to be joyful and happy. However, the stresses of life situations, reinforced by our current education system and increased by toxicity resulting from hazardous food choices, often sabotage us. They finally cause unwanted negative thinking and emotional issues.

The Three-Body Purification Retreat is designed to help us flush-out accumulated toxicity, resolve buried feelings and interrupt obsessive patterns of thinking. The proposed practices gradually allow us to rise above inappropriate mind habits, to make right choices and find joy in each day, despite external circumstances.

Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar, the Chakra Institute’s founder, who left his body in April this year, has guided thousands of people around the world in the past six decades. With his unique ability to produce, with his voice, ethereal element called Soorya Aakaasha (golden, healing sound) he allowed many people to experience powerful changes.

Through these chants, the teachings, meditation and dietary protocol, you will begin to purify your 3 bodies: physical, subtle (feelings) and causal (thoughts). Many participants have found this program to be life transforming. (See further down for testimonials).

We will invoke Guruji’s presence as we did starting the last Summer Retreat, in which his presence and guidance was strongly felt among all participants.


The Fall Retreat

Fall is a natural time for cleansing — as the seasons shift, the body, mind, and spirit also long to release what is no longer needed. The cooler air, shorter days, and movement inward invite us to reset, lighten, and prepare for the stillness of winter. In this purification, we honor the three bodies — physical, subtle, and causal — creating harmony and resilience for the months ahead.

Special classes on the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, will be offered by Armelle Denolle*. You will learn their unique characteristics and temperaments, how they shape our body and mind, and why keeping them in balance is essential for health, clarity, and inner peace. Understanding your own doshic nature will give you tools to align more deeply with yourself and the rhythms of the season.

Self-study Pratihara (internalizing the senses) will be practiced daily, with the help of special Mantras and “Sounds of chakras”. Significance of the rhythms of the chakras and several valuable ceremonies will be explained, in order for us to tune into higher dimensions.

You will receive a specially selected dawn mantra recording for your practice throughout the retreat and beyond. The meanings and purposes of each Sanskrit word and planetary involvement will be explained in a live class.


Apaana Praana

Apaana praana needs to be regularly purified so that the blood maintains its pure energy, which shows in the texture of the skin, the light of the eyes and the halo around the head. Apaana Praana normally operates below the navel, where it facilitates bodily functions of elimination. Yet, it needs to be regularly purified, or it starts affecting the purity of higher pranas above the navel for the functioning of these chakras.

When Apaana gets polluted, different regions of the body happen to manifest disorders ranging, from constipation to depression, memory problems to dementia, and at worse, schizophrenia. A disturbed Apaana Praana may cause us to age faster, and obstructs the flow of energy, causing premature wrinkles.

At the level of the physical body, (Sthool shareera in sanskrit), unwanted fat and toxins can accumulate from food and drinks, (inappropriate oils, salts, sugars, lectins and even vegetables and fruits). These fats and toxins are rejected by the blood, which needs its purity back.

At the subtle level, (feeling body or Sookshma shareera in sanskrit), toxins accumulated by heart breaks, negative feelings and emotions, aches and pains, also disturb the apana prana. Sometimes we suppress an emotion, other times we do express them but in an unhealthy way and have to live with the consequences. Feelings don’t like adulteration, which disturbs apana prana.

In our causal or mental body (Kaarana shareera in sanskrit, known as the seat of thoughts), ideas and concepts. Negative thoughts about yourself, others, losses, worries, fears, insecurities, and lack or loss of power, causes apana prana to become adulterated.

When the Apaana is purified, the circadian rhythm resets. Sleep, digestion and bowel rhythms improve. You feel grounded, clear, stable and light. This retreat will show you that purification of the 3 bodies is the way out.

Our dear teacher Sri Shyamji has done miracles for many people who followed the protocol. Many have reversed diseases and gained a good balance in life. Others have been able to discover higher dimensions and are following their intention to live a spiritual life. Several have found their bliss and hear their fundamental note, known as Naada in Sanskrit.

Live teachers:

* VeeraJi

**Armelle Denolle, Yoga Teacher and InnerTuning® Teacher. Since 1991, Armelle has been Sri Shyamji's translator for French speaking people and his assistant in Paris, organizing all his workshops in France, and continuing his work during his absence. She has written many articles about his teachings and translated ShyamJi’s book “Microchakras” in French, while she was trained as an InnerTuning® Teacher.

Armelle met Sri Shyamji in September 1990 and felt this meeting as a revelation. For many years, she had tried different systems of chanting, having also been trained in Dhrupad by Ustad H. Sayeeduddin Dagar for 15 years. For her, as a way of Spiritual Development, Sri Shyamji's talent far exceeded anything she had experienced before. She is particularly impressed with his integration of sound in a systematic approach to the microchakras, as a Svâdhyâya Sâdhanâ.

Armelle also teaches Yoga since 1975 (www.yoga-detente92.com), having been trained (1969 -1982) by Nil Hahoutoff, keen expert in the observation of the relationship between bodily posture and mental functioning.
