"Mind is the movement of breath and breath is the movement of the mind."
Knowing this secret for centuries, the Eastern mystics have turned to the breath as a doorway inward, shaping practices like Pranayama and the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra to gently dissolve the noise of the mind and reveal a deeper stillness beneath.
This program brings together pranayama (breathwork), meditation, mantra, silence, and live mantra chanting with music in a simple and practical way. You will learn techniques that help quiet the mind, relax the body, and build a steady, grounded awareness.
Through guided practices, you will experience how the breath directly affects your energy and mental state and how it can create more immunity for the body and mind. Additionally, meditation techniques inspired by the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra offer natural ways to become more present and at ease within yourself.
Mantra sessions include explanations on how mantras work, chanting and singing. Accompanied by live music by Manish Vyas in all those sessions, this will allow you to come to the space of heart and devotion, to experience the power of sound and vibration in a direct and accessible way—supporting emotional balance, focus, and a sense of connection.
No prior experience is needed. Just a willingness to slow down, listen, be receptive, become more aware, and participate... ultimately dissolving in the space of pure being.
As a special addition, Manish will be screening and commenting his newly released documentary THE TRUE WORLD OF MANTRA in the night sessions.
Manish Vyas was born, raised and trained in India in all the techniques he shares. Being the land where Yoga, Meditation, Mantra, Ayurveda, Kirtan came from, the participant will be able to be in touch with the true wisdom from India. More about Manish Vyas: www.manishvyas.com
