In keeping with our trend of offering retreats based in the rich and diversified traditions of Yoga, Agama Yoga introduces a new retreat offering a different pathway of access to the divine spiritual reality….
In the Yogic tradition of India and Tibet, the concept of the third eye is of primary importance and sometimes even seems to surpass all other traditions and emphases. Consequently, both the Indian and Tibetan yogis have developed an extremely rich lore of techniques for developing the third eye and achieving spiritual realization through the agency of this third eye. According to Tantric Yoga, this third eye is one of the basic chakras (ajna chakra, the sixth energy center in the being), with a specific location, special functions, and representing certain characteristics in the human being. Many practices of Yoga address the development of this center, and many Yoga traditions refer to it as a chakra that confers states of enlightenment. Both the Yoga of Patanjali (as expressed in his classical text, Yoga Sutra) and the fundamental Hindu spiritual text Bhagavad-Gita present this third eye as one of the great solutions for the spiritual emancipation of the human being. Agama Yoga has filtered the rich traditions of Indian and Tibetan Yoga to select the most potent and efficient techniques for opening and energizing ajna chakra and, probably for the first time in the world, now presents a focused approach in the form of an intensive 10-day retreat during which attention, energy, and spiritual effort will be continuously directed toward the third eye.
Our approach will include:
- Bodily techniques and Hatha Yoga
- Pranayama (breathing exercises)
- Mudras and bandhas (special Yoga techniques)
- Visualizations
- Mantras (Yoga of sound resonance)
- Music meditation
- The use of emotions
- And a wide variety of other traditional methods for an accelerated activation of this fundamental energy center.
For 10 days, with the support of Swami Vivekananda and alongside the direct participation of the advanced students of Agama, you can immerse yourself fully in this fascinating practice of the third eye, which is the provider both of spiritual realization and great mental accomplishments.
Agama Yoga also presents the Hridaya Retreat, Awakening the Crown Chakra Retreat, and New Year's Retreat. See calendar for dates.
