Many of us have, at one time or another, felt a benevolent presence quietly supporting and caring for us—even if we cannot fully understand it with the mind. This presence may reveal itself through subtle synchronicities that guide us toward wise choices, through unexpected help in times of difficulty, or through mysterious turns of fate that spare us from great mistakes.

In this two-part workshop, Swami Ramananda will lead us through a series of experiential practices to help us open our hearts and align our will with the ever-present flow of grace. Together, we will explore how to recognize and trust this hidden presence that continually moves through our lives.

All are welcome.

Both sessions will be recorded and shared with registered participants.

You can also register for these workshops individually:
March 4th in-person or online
March 11th in-person or online

Crystal Bowl Sound Bath & Vedic Mantras

Using crystal bowls, drum, and voice, Shalom gets the whole room vibrating and harmonizing. The sound waves travel deep into your body delivering an impressive and fascinating range of benefits including powerful physical healing, creative mental stimulation, and profound waves of emotional release. The experience as a whole is relaxing, stimulating, experimental, and explorative.

Traditional Vedic chants combined with the sound of instruments are so supportive and therapeutic to the modern yogi. We will be sitting down as we chant and laying down during the sound bath. Wearing comfortable clothing is recommended.

If you haven’t tried sound healing before, you’ll have to do so firsthand to see what it’s all about. If you have, you’ll be impressed with the depth and care of Shalom’s offering. At the end of the sound bath, we’ll take a minute to come together and reflect as a group.

Reiki for Self-Healing

In-person | $42 Early bird, use promo code HEALING, exp. 6/1/24

$50 regular

Please review our In-person Safety Guidelines. https://integralyogasf.org/attending-in-person

In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn the basics of self-healing with reiki, receive a brief introduction to energy healing generally, as well as learn techniques to ground, center and improve your energy flows.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan, based on revitalizing the “life force energy” that flows through us and causes us to be alive; if one’s “life force energy” is low or obstructed, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high and flows freely, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing, as well as grounding, balance and confidence. While there are no guarantees for a specific result, there are many reports of reiki helping a wide variety of illnesses and maladies. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. Though Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion and has no dogma, and can serve as a complement to yoga or other spiritual or wellness practices.

This workshop will include:

• Brief introduction to energy healing and reiki and how it can relate to yoga
• Empowerment to receive and transmit reiki energy
• Training on how to give a complete Reiki session to yourself, including hand positions
• Techniques to ground yourself, clear energy, and keep your energy protected from outside influences

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing. This workshop may be especially useful for people in highly stressful roles such as parents, caregivers, health and emergency workers, teachers, activists, and other service providers, as well as people in highly stressful situations such as being currently without work or sufficient pay, or seeking freedom from abusive living situations or workplaces.

Participants will be seated or lying down on yoga mats for this class. We sincerely apologize this is not a wheelchair accessible classroom – it requires climbing several flights of stairs.

It is highly recommended to experience a Reiki treatment prior to this workshop.
