Embodied Healing Energy in Stressful Times

with Mary Reilly Nichols 

Overview

Embodied Healing Energy in Stressful Times draws from the revelation that the human body is a living, breathing vessel of embodied wisdom and joyful, healing energy is one of the greatest gifts of India’s timeless contemplative traditions. For millennia, techniques of postural alignment and breath regulation have been developed and refined as a pragmatic means for cultivating steadfast, vitalizing inner peace and flourishing in the midst of outer change, stress and trauma.

Come join Nalanda Institute core faculty Mary Reilly Nichols in this special three-session course, using Vedic, Tantric and global wisdom sources, to experiment with easy and effective methods of meditative training that anyone with a body and breath can access. As some gentle movement will be offered during this course, loose fitting clothing and a blanket or floor mat are recommended. Floor poses are optional with alternative chair versions offered. Come one, come all!
