La acest eveniment sunt invitați să participe numai cei care au fost cel puțin o dată la o retragere de meditație hridaya, meditația de revelare a Inimii Spirituale.

În viața fiecărui aspirant spiritual sunt necesare retrageri în Inimă, să rămânem perioade cât mai lungi în liniștea de dincolo de gânduri, să intrăm cât mai des în profunzimea și frumusețea conștiinței Sinelui (atman). Cât din viața noastră oferim Sufletului sufletului nostru?

Programul pe care îl vom urma se înscrie în respectarea solitudinii și  devoțiunii prin atitudini specifice retragerilor hridaya.

Începem joi, 14 martie, ora 9, și vom încheia cu împărtăşirea experienţelor şi discuţii pe baza temelor prezentate miercuri, 20 martie, ora 18. Vă recomandăm să ajungeți miercuri seara, 13 martie, pentru a fi pregătiți și odihniți la începutul retragerii.  

Pe întreaga durată a retragerii se va menține mauna (tăcerea nobilă) pentru aprofundarea experienței meditative. Se vor putea adresa întrebări (în scris) profesorilor care ghidează meditația.

Se poate participa și doar pentru primele 4 zile, de joi 14 martie dimineața până duminică 17 martie ora 18.

Cei care doresc să se liniştească, să întrerupă curgerea agitată a vieţii, să se regăsească pe ei înşişi într-o oază de pace şi spiritualitate pot participa la această retragere de meditație în tăcere pentru revelarea Inimii spirituale. 

Retragerea cuprinde meditații ghidate, îndrumări și recomandări pentru practica spirituală, ședințe de hridaya hatha yoga. Vor fi oferite recomandările necesare, metodele şi elementele practice meditative, conferinţe cu diferite teme, care vor completa învățăturile cuprinse în retragerile hridaya mai scurte. Vom oferi mai mult timp meditațiilor, introspecției, minunării în frumuseţea Inimii Spirituale.

Kamala Yoga and Meditation Center invites you to register for the 10-Day Hridaya Retreat with Sahajananda, between 9-20 August 2024. The retreat will take place ON-SITE, in Kamala center, near Brasov, Romania, and ONLINE (on Zoom application) for those people who can not travel in August.

The Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat is a unique 10-day immersion experience which uses an artful integration of meditation and yoga techniques to access your real and essential nature, known as the Spiritual Heart, the Supreme Self, or atman.

During the retreat, you will explore the Spiritual Heart from a variety of perspectives, including esoteric Christianity, Sufism, and Kashmir Shaivism. In the advanced stages of practice, all paths of authentic spiritual traditions meet and merge into the same ineffable Reality.

Most importantly, this retreat will help you experience what it means to be centered in the Heart. This means to be aware of that peaceful and eternal core of your being, which cannot be perceived by the rational mind but is the source of all inspiration, love, and beauty.

No previous meditation or yoga experience is necessary as this retreat is designed for beginner and advanced meditators alike.

This retreat is guided in English, with Romanian translation if needed.

7-day Hridaya Retreat (26 August – 3 September)

Kamala Yoga and Meditation Center and Hridaya Yoga teacher Rhazes Hernandez invite you to be with us for a week for a Hridaya Retreat, a unique immersion experience which uses an artful integration of meditation and yoga techniques to access your real and essential nature, known as the Spiritual Heart, the Supreme Self, or atman.

In this retreat we will set out the vision and fundamental principles of the Hridaya Yoga system – Yoga of the Spiritual Heart – and provide practical methods (postural procedures, breathing techniques, concentration and meditation) to create inner conditions conducive to exploring the deep dimension of Self-consciousness.

In the first part (26 – 30 August) we will have yoga and meditation in nature.

The last 3 days ( 31 August – 2 September) all participants will respect the noble silence – mauna, for interiorization, deeper meditations, introspection. During these 3 last days the participants will stay in complete silence and keep a solitary attitude while receiving a set of inspiring teachings and lectures  to provide with the opportunity to reach the deep states of consciousness that enable the revelation of the Heart. The approach is a unique integration of Advaita Vedanta, Tantra Yoga and Dzogchen.

You will learn a form of Self-Enquiry meditation inspired by the non-dual teachings of the great sages Ramana Maharshi and Nisagardatta Maharaj.

Most importantly, this retreat will help you experience what it means to be centered in the Heart. This means to be aware of that peaceful and eternal core of your being, which cannot be perceived by the rational mind but is the source of all inspiration, love, and beauty.

May the Sacred Tremor of the Heart enlighten our lives!

Tabără de meditație și Hridaya Yoga, 1-10 iulie 2022

Vă invităm să fiți împreună cu noi la începutul verii pentru a consacra o săptămână revelării esenței ființei noastre, numită atman în sanscrită sau, în tradițiile contemplative – Inima Spirituală. În cadrul acestei retrageri vom expune viziunea și principiile fundamentale ale sistemului Hridaya Yoga – Yoga Inimii Spirituale – și vom oferi metodele practice (procedee posturale, tehnici respiratorii, de concentrare și de meditație) pentru a crea condițiile interioare favorabile explorării dimensiunii profunde a conștiinței Sinelui.

În prima parte vom avea și excursii, yoga și meditație în natură astfel:

-Bucuria conștienței momentului prezent pentru a intui eternitatea,

-Excursie și meditație în Peștera Moeciu (marți 5 iulie, plecare la ora 10),

-Tehnici de pranayama și de comuniune cu natura în Pădurea Lempeș,

-Tehnici de regenerare fizică și psihică în natură, în Zona Lempeș.

Duminică 3 iulie, de la ora 16.00, vom face împreună meditație folosind boluri tibetane cântătoare.

Ultimele 3 zile (7-9 iulie) toți participanții vor respecta nobila tăcere – mauna, pentru interiorizare, meditații mai adânci, introspecție. Cei care au aspirația de a păstra mauna mai mult timp vor primi tot sprijinul nostru.

Mai mult decât învățarea teoretică sau perfecțiunea procedeelor, vom pune accent pe trezirea freamătului sacru al Inimii, pe deschiderea față de ceea ce este frumos, înălțător, sacru, aspecte pe care le vom regăsi totodată și în propria ființă. Acestea vor fi asimilate prin integrarea unor atitudini și modalități care să faciliteze centrarea în Inimă, liniștirea minții și trezirea Conștiinței Martor.

Ne vom bucura totodată de comuniunea sufletească într-un grup de oameni orientați spre auto-cunoaștere prin introspecție. Va fi timp pentru întrebări și răspunsuri, pentru contemplarea naturii, pentru a fi cu noi înșine. Vom merge împreună în excursii în locuri pure, pline de energie benefică.

Retragerea va cuprinde meditații, sesiuni de hatha yoga, îndrumări și recomandări pentru practica spirituală. Vor fi prelegeri (satsang) pentru prezentarea unor subiecte spirituale necesare revelării Sinelui, atman.

Retragerea va cuprinde, printre altele și:

– Metoda de introspecţie a lui Ramana Maharshi folosind întrebarea “Cine sunt Eu?”

–Descoperirea freamătului mistic (spanda)

-Înțelegerea importanței conştiinţei martor, a iubirii pure ca expresie a conştiinţei unităţii, a tăcerii ca substrat al existenţei.

– Metode de reîntoarcere în conștiința unității (resorbţia sentimentului “Eu” în sursa sa),

– Despre conţinutul şi calitatea minţii,

– Adâncirea în meditaţie, folosind două metode din tradiţia Mahamudra,

– Tehnici de liniştire a minţii folosind controlul respiraţiei,

– Cele patru etape fundamentale în procesul meditației pentru Revelarea Inimii Spirituale,

-Trăirea celor 8 etape (membre) din raja yoga lui Patanjali prin hridaya yoga,

-Tehnici specifice de pratyahara, pranayama, concentrare,

-Descoperirea grației ce poate fi simțită în pauza dintre două respirații,

-Integrarea vieții de zi cu zi în viața spirituală,

-Elemente importante din nada yoga și cheia eficienței în practica asanelor

-Bucuria conștienței momentului prezent pentru a intui eternitatea

Vineri 1 iulie ora 19.00 va fi deschiderea retragerii cu o conferință de introducere ce va cuprinde totodată principiile esențiale în Hridaya yoga și în practica meditației.
