SUMMER THREE-BODY PURIFICATION

This summer, 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 recently left his body, has guided thousands of people around the world in the past six decades. With his unique ability to produce, with his voice, the 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 bodies (thoughts). Many participants have found this program to be life transforming. (See further down for testimonials).

The Summer Retreat

Summer is a perfect time to find new strategies in order to capture more life. 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.

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 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.

Comments from Previous Participants

“A lot of feelings came up during the retreat. I experienced a deep emotional/mental release of past trauma and of a profound sense of inadequacy and shame that I thought had been resolved. Sadness still comes and goes, though I also feel a deep compassion for the suffering of others. I notice that my skin feels extra sensitive and soft and my energy is renewed. Overall, the retreat for me was transformational . I feel like I have a new skin! I feel more deeply committed to my sadhana. Thank you Shyamji and Marina for providing the space to enhance my spiritual development.” With gratitude, , Lynn, psychotherapist and art therapist, NYC

“As a participant in the work of the Chakra Institute and its founder, Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar, for 45 years, each class and workshop has been an exceptional step on the road to reaching what we call the Self. However, the Central Canal Purification was an experience, not beyond description, but a further clarification on this path, an extraordinary step in the Journey. I highly recommend this workshop for anyone wanting to feel better, be happier, more composed, or electing to take a step through a well-crafted path to the Self.” - Marcia Miller, Retired Museum Director, Board Member, Chakra Institute

“What to say where words are superfluous to express that content, love, blessing…. complete fulfillment with joy, smile and happiness that adorns every new day. With new enthusiasm to realize what it brings and be completely there in action and observation. Thank you for that gift to realize, feel and know. This purification has helped me a lot to tune in, observe and be with myself as much as possible and at the same time I have the joy of being with others and sharing what I have, which was given to me at birth - Life. My mood was stable. With immense gratitude and joy to see, hear, know and share you again. “ - Liljana Pavlovic, Artist, Switzerland

"The purification provided the energetic sustenance to let my awareness, for the first time in my life, be able to express with certainty " I AM ". During the purification, when the class was related to the fifth chakra, I was able to witness what could be call, nadis darshan. I saw the nadis in the right channel, how they are like nerve ending communicating to the central canal. the fire of the central canal was transparent, I saw it like the heat from a turbine." - Enrique, Video Production Director

“Everything is going well! I followed your advice and so I get up early, although I initially had a lot of resistance to it. But you're right. I feel very energetic. I already did my InnerTuning exercises before my morning meditation etc. It is really blissful to have the whole day in front of you! I feel blessed to have this purification. Sri Shyamji helped me a lot on my own way!! I am grateful for all the information you shared, the organization etc. Thanks!”- Hilde Arnout, Belgium

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 during 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.

Galeet is honored to be in service to Sri Shyamji, and through him, the highest knowledge of life.
