‘Gifts of COVID19’ Series

‘COVID19 as Medicine for the Inner Virus’ Series
‘Gifts of COVID19’

Pranams, and Thank you, COVID19 for helping us to pause, reveal our inner and outer viruses so we can continue to create, grow and make the most of the life in the moment.   COVID19 is impacting people, all life forms, and all facets of life …beyond race, boundaries, etc. News is inundated with the rising number of COVID postives, deaths, goverment lockdowns and more.  It is clear that our medical system and government systems are not able to meet the basic needs of the people…health, economically, food, and more. The lesson of taking self-responsibility cannot be more loud and clear at the individual, community and planetary levels. Our Nature-based ancient wisdoms of Ayurveda, Yoga, Tantra have always laid out the path for selfhealing, using the body-mind as tools for your life purpose and transcending them as well.  May this series shatter your current conditioning, unlearn, learn, apply and rebirth. Its not just about staying alive in the essence of survival but thriving! To this expansion, sessions will include knowledge but mostly will focus on discussion and interaction.

Dr. Sumit Kesarkar is not your ordinary Ayurvedic doctor [BAMS} and Ph.D of medicinal plants. His clinical practice, healing and life is rooted in his very own experiences vs. books and courses.  His desire and passion to document healing traditions of Ayurveda, Yoga, Alchemy, Tantra, and folk plant medicine led him to travel to “off the beaten paths” of the Himalayas and throughout India.  Some of the physicians, traditional healers, Hatha yogis, Aghori Tantra, and many other indigenous practioners he interacted with are his teachers. He applies many of their teachings with his clients and teaches to the everyday Human via Marmayog.   To find out more: www.drsumit.in; www.marmayog.in; www.nlam.in.

Saturday, April 11, 1-4pm and Sunday,  April 12, 4-7pm 

Do I want to be free, or not? Do I want to expand, or do I want to shrink?

Women hold a special place in society and cosmos. In Ayurveda, Yoga, Tantra, the woman is considered to be “Shakti”- the Mother and Source of Creation, in whose lap humanity thrives or suffers! Women naturally possess a delicate and fragile balance within the body due to their Shakti-prana and its creative powers. When this equanimity is disturbed by modern living habits, women do not embody their true Self, creating confusion, reproductive and other diseases, emotional suffering, difficulty in sustaining uplifting relationships.  When aligned with nature’s rhythms, women live a life full of awareness to wombifest anything and truly heal.  

Balancing Hormones- a common term and desire for many women today.  Good food, proper sleep, various healing modalities all contribute to our hormonal mojo.  However, one missing link in the conversation is how understand and feel your unique orgasmic value.  This is very much connected with our Creation energy within. This allows for a deep awareness, purification, passion, clarity, alignment and freedom to emerge!

With passion, unwavering courage, we will

–  Gain a deeper understanding of Divine Feminine & Masculine energies and its impact in daily life,

–  Apply Ayurveda-Yoga-Tantra principles for diet-lifestyle-breathing practices for optimal energy, weight, sex drive and spiritual connection.

–  Understand your sexual energy for wholistic living

–  Explore concepts of natural lust, natural heat, and authentic creation (beyond the partner)

–  and more.

Please bring your questions and inquiries for self-discovery and vibrant conversation!

May you test positive or negative for COVID19, it really doesnt matter as the ultimate responsibility is yours to take better care of yourself in ways that our current healthcare system cannot provide.  Now and beyond COVID19.  Countless are craving to be healthy and happy. Countless theories inundate our minds (thanks to Google Guru!) causing mental constipation, hopping around from one modality to another, chasing for desired results. This makes it even more critical to understand your body, mind, Spirit, Soul; be self-reliant and develop your Self-healing powers within for true healing and freedom.

MarmaYog is a collection of practices of traditional indigenous healers and Highland Himalayan yogis who have gained voluntary control over the bodily functions and senses to survive harsh conditions to reach higher states of consciousness. Marma are explained briefly in text of Ayurved as vital points in the body through which Prān[a](cosmic energy, vital breath) flows enabling healthy life. Any obstruction to the flow of Prāna causes diseases which may lead to prolonged illness, deformity and death. Yog refers to various Hath Yog practices in form of Āsan[a], Bandh[a], Mudrā and certain Kriya’s(co-ordinated flows)which enable the practitioner to keep the flow of Prāna unobstructed through the Marma’s and also enable healing.

The Neglected (?) Divine Masculine and Supreme Consciousness

Yoga and wellness world is inundated with terms of “Goddess within”  “shakti”, “divine feminine” women naming themselves Devi, and Goddess imagery.  How about the Divine Masculine? Where are the men? A form of feminism in spirituality?  Simply delusions of the mind? If the path is about the Divine (which isn’t just about “good”), how do these gender identifications play out in our spirituality/ our practices?  Through interactive discussion on ancient wisdoms, we will explore and appropriately understand following to transcend our limitations for Brahman.

-Dualistit/ non-dualist thought processes in spirituality  ie. Shakti is Shiva in motion. Shiva is Shakti in stillness.

– Attributes and deeper meaning of “divine masculine” “divine feminine” “Shakti” “tantra”

– Are there various and different practices for men and women? If yes, why so?

*Please bring any and all questions.
