Rebirthing & Healing the Formative Years

Transcription

1 Rebirthing & Healing the Formative Years 3-day Kundalini Yoga Workshop with Dr. Japjeet Rajbir Kaur Khalsa Friday 27 - Sunday 29 January 2017 Pellenberg* (Leuven), Belgium (* 1 hour from Brussels; only 3 hours by train from London!) In this retreat we will practice some of the 31 Rebirthing Kriyas that Yogi Bhajan taught over the period of Autumn Winter These rebirthing kriyas mainly work with the breath. Practicing these kriyas helps sort out our sense of self and enables us to locate our originality amid the torrent of emotions and beliefs that we acquire throughout our lives. The aim is to renew ourselves and clear the garbage and imprints of the past through a series of kriyas focussing on different stages of our first and very determining cycle of development: from our time in the womb to 11 years of age. Day 1 is entirely dedicated to healing imprints from our stay in the womb. On day 2 we continue this healing work, finishing the day with the actual re-experiencing of our birth our birth as a soul, a blessed being coming to bless this world and elevate others. We will adjust the imprint of the first breath by taking it anew, experiencing it as an open, powerful, permission-giving, energising breath that will adjust the pattern of our life force and connect us to our innate ecstasy and our ability to call on all of nature to give us what we need, thus giving a deep security to every cell. This way every breath following this rebirthing experience can become more vital, flowing and creative. Day 3 is entirely devoted to healing the formative childhood years up to 11 years of age. Over the 3 days we will embark on a journey to recover our authentic self which got lost among our many and diverse experiences and our reactions to them. We will offload the emotional ghosts from our subconscious mind, understanding they cannot be satisfied no matter how much we try to feed them. We will evoke early imprints, bring them into the light of awareness and clear them. This way a new clarity about our purpose, our Self and our values can emerge and become our own North Star along our life s journey, so that we can always act with confidence, effectiveness and fulfil our highest destiny on our own terms. A lot of this work will be done with videos of Yogi Bhajan. This workshop is going to be quite intense work, and is especially aimed at people who have already practiced (kundalini) yoga, meditation, breathwork and/or other spiritual practices. It is open to both men and women of all ages and from all backgrounds. For KY teachers from the UK, this retreat is accredited CEU-credits by KYTA.

Location Villa Varia and host Prabhu Anand Kaur (Ingrid Klabbers) Villa Varia is situated in a beautiful natural reserve close to Pellenberg Hospital, but is at the same time easily accessible from Leuven and Tienen. The energetic place which has come to exist here is described by others as: A home. An oasis. A place to find peace. This place has come into existence very organically, both through the cooperation with Japjeet Rajbir Kaur Khalsa (who runs a 3-day retreat every 4 to 6 weeks) and through the kundalini yoga Level 1 training ran by Hari Krishan Singh (which will start in October 2015 for the fourth time already). Prabhu Anand: The house has become a very powerful, energetic place, both by its beautiful location and by the work done here. My living space has become an oasis where I receive and nurture groups. It is where I fulfill my desire to offer people a very special time in which they can come closer to themselves. My passion for cooking continues to develop, and I get a lot of satisfaction and happiness from this! I realise more and more how important food is. That is why my meals are nearly totally vegan and organic, and made with fresh ingredients. The natural search for a yogic way of living and eating is a wonderful daily challenge!

I'm grateful for all the classes, trainings and amazing KY-moments and people from the previous years that formed the preparation for this [Rebirthing-weekend] and enabled the positive intention I came with and the results I got from it. I'm extremely grateful to Japjeet Kaur who facilitated the deeply transformative process during the whole weekend, and to the other students who embarked on the journey with me. Pure bliss. Incredible! Japjeet it was really sooooooo special, I feel reborn! I'm amazed at the power of kundalini yoga (this yoga is even more powerful and beautiful than I had ever realised; even though I started years ago with kundalini yoga, this weekend was incredibly special!) and I deeply admire the way you guide people through this process, as it was quite a big group (which made it even more beautiful and powerful!) and a very intense and deep process! I deeply bow before you, Sat Nam, thank you and much love, and I'll definitely be back soon again! I whole-heartedly recommend this experience to everyone!" (Rachel, October 2014)
