Patanjali Dhyaan

Patanjali Dhyaan is an intense process to awaken the body's potential energy, and experience the vibrant stillness of the mind.

Patanjali Dhyaan works at all levels. In the physical body, it helps in loosening the stiff muscles. The body has its own habits, its way of standing, sitting, walking. This is nothing but the muscle memory that we have developed during our life. Unless we dissolve some of the stiffness and blockages, the old memories of the body, we won't be able to receive any new energy. Patanjali Dhyaan is a process to let go of deeply engraved memories, what we call engrams or samskaras in Sanskrit.

At the mental level, Patanjali Dhyaan done with full intensity effortlessly takes you to a vibrant stillness. The mind is chaotic by nature, so we often need a dynamic method to allow the mind to relax. This is exactly what Patanjali Dhyaan does, by literally shaking off the conditionings and patterns, and bringing you back to the physical reality of the moment.

At the being level, Patanjali Dhyaan is a process to awaken the innermost potential energy, the kundalini shakti. It activates the energy centers along the spine and the energy in every cell of the body, allowing you to experience the expansive state of pure consciousness.
