All the masters tell us that our true nature is bliss. Yet, in stressful times, many of us have moments in which our own lives (and minds) seem intolerable. We invite you to experience the potency of Nejang Yoga—a simple but profound self-healing practice from the traditions of Sowa Rigpa and Tibetan Buddhism that helps to purify afflictions and ailments at the level of the subtle body.
Also known as Tibetan rejuvenation yoga or Tibetan longevity yoga, Nejang (which translates as "cleaning the energy sites in the body") is a Tibetan practice that combines pranayama, gentle movement, and self-massage.
In this profoundly healing retreat, you learn:
- Empty-body meditation, to expand awareness of yourself beyond the physical body and activate the innermost healing state
- Vajra chanting to purify your innermost "secret" obstacles of body, speech, and mind
- Ninefold purification breathing, another subtle body practice that purifies the three poisons of anger, attachment, and ignorance
- Nejang self-healing yoga to help restore health, balance, and energetic flow at the level of the subtle body (thereby helping to purify the root causes of physical, mental, and emotional issues)
Nejang Yoga has been shown to help alleviate depression and anxiety, improve digestion, calm the nervous system, restore balance, cultivate states of peace, maintain good health, extend the lifespan, and deeply transform your mind.
You also learn and practice simple healing meditations, visualization, and pranayama to help activate the profound states of healing and bliss that exist within. This is a program of deep self-care, rejuvenation, and revitalization. It reminds us how to gently return to our true selves, to understand that you actually do have agency over your health and states of mind, and to recognize the uncomplicated and unexcelled bliss that resides within.
