Everyone has a mind, however, very few of us possess the complete knowledge of its nature and functions. But why is it imperative to understand our mind? The answer is simple and logical. Happiness and suffering are states of our mind, and so if we want to be free from suffering and enjoy true happiness, we need to possess a thorough understanding of the mind and how to control it. Meditation is the way to improve the quality of our life, both now and in the future.

Meditation is a powerful practice that goes far beyond our thoughts—those who embrace it regularly can experience profound clarity, balance, and freedom. Over the course of 50 hours, you’ll be guided on a transformative journey to discover the extraordinary potential of your mind and body.
Awaken your inner energy, cultivate lasting positivity, and step into a life of harmony and wellbeing.
WHAT IS DHYANA OR MEDITATON?
“Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodha”
which translates to “Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.”
This sutra, from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, highlights the importance of meditation in calming and focusing the mind. Through the practice of meditation, we can learn to quiet the constant stream of thoughts and distractions that can pull us away from the present moment. By stilling the mind, we can cultivate a sense of peace and tranquility, and develop a deeper awareness of our true nature.

MEET YOUR TRAINER
Life is meant to lived joyously and blissfully, and you have the power and tool within to do so
Yoga is my passion. My journey began back in 1992, when I traveled to the Himalayas in search of the true essence of Yoga. I trained under the brightest minds in the Himalayan ashramas and was initiated by great Hindu spiritual leaders. It is here that I discovered the art of Yoga as a way to human consciousness and overall well-being. My four years of training with the mystics gave me a closer understanding of the physiology and psychology of the human body. My Gurus guided me on the path of meditation and mindfulness, and since then it has created momentous impacts in my life.
NOTE FROM SUMIT MANAV
Life is a beautiful journey and meditation is one of the most amazing & priceless rituals to unlock the greatest potential in the human mind. We all have this hidden potential, but not many of us use it. We are all full of power but seldom realize it because of our busy and mundane schedules. Making meditation a priority in life helps you achieve your goals of finding the real truth and full potential and finally living, not merely existing.
WHY SUMIT MANAV
Sumit takes you through the journey of mindfulness and managing mind in such a manner that you not only enjoy but also experience mindfulness at the same time. His technique is simple – to extract the tool from the spiritual world and enable you to use it in your everyday life so that the results are momentous. His goal is to empower people to discover their full potential so that they can live a life with purpose and happiness. He has and continues to help several individuals with very simple yogic and spiritual methods to make them happier and healthier.
WHAT IS IN THE COURSE FOR YOU
This course includes training in meditation techniques in the same way that I learnt it from my Gurus in the Himalayas. You will be able to find simple tools, methods to understand the mind and dive deeper into meditation. It is believed that the Yogis in the Himalayas know the functions of their mind and meditate much better than anyone else in this world. Once you have mastered your mind, you are simply ready to jump into meditation, which is where you begin to discover yourself and the potential that lies within you.

COURSE DETAILS
Chakra Awakening
The Yogis believe that the body comprises of 7 chakras or energy centres and that each of these chakras need to be awakened in order to achieve their full potential. This is done by the Chakra Awakening exercises.
Self Healing
It is essential to be able to understand your body and mind fully to detect any problems that arise with it. Yoga ensures internal cleansing and teaches you self-healing in the most organic way, with no side effects.
Omkar Meditation
The Om Meditation is found to be the most effective chant for meditation. Infact this humble mantra has even cured ailments such as stress, hypertension, blood pressure and brought about a sense of calm and peace to the practitioner.
Chidakash Meditation (Space of Consciousness)
Through the practice of Chidakasha Dharana/ Meditation, one experience the presence of the guru, the great master, within us and the essence of this practice opens our mind and consciousness to allow the divine light within.
Third Eye Meditation or the Psychic Eye power
Eastern philosophies, especially the ones from the Himalayas strongly believe in the presence of the third eye – which opens to awaken your intuitive power. This third eye is activated by the Third Eye Meditation technique which opens the Third Eye Chakra situated between eyebrows, in the center.
Changing the direction of Energy
Energy flow is a scientific concept and not exactly spiritual. With meditation, we learn to direct our energies towards our goals so that is not left idle or underutilized.
Ordinary love and love of Buddha
The love of Buddha was eternal and every growing. He saw no flaws and accepted all. This must manifest in all beings today and should transcend into our personalities as well, in order to live a peaceful life.
Technique to activate the centre
Manipura Chakra resides in the middle of our body, behind the navel center and is ignited by the fire element. To activate this chakra would mean to completely cleanse and set the other chakras in motion.
Technique to put the mind at an ease
It is essential to know when to keep the mind brewing with activity and when to keep it calm. This is easily done by bringing the mind under control.
Soundlessness, Sound fullness & Total Awareness
The mind needs to be stilled and this is done by making it soundless. This state results into total awareness where all your intuitive powers and clear consciousness come alive.
Sound method for the dropping of mind
Our mind is cluttered with the noise and chaos of the world we live in. In order to achieve our goals, it is essential to still the mind using different techniques. The sound therapy technique is one of it.
The path of Surrender
No learning is fulfilled without completely surrendering to your Guru and imbibing all that he has to teach. This path of Surrender is tough, since each one of us is made up of different egos, beliefs and morals. However, once you trust your Guru in guiding you the right way, a huge part of your work is done.
Attention at Nerve
The nervous system works endlessly to carry our energies from one point to another. Thus, when we are in Sadhana, it is essential to calm the nerves down by concentrating on them and bringing them under control.
Know the Knower
It is essential to connect with your Guru and the higher spirit when you are learning the art of Meditation. This helps you achieve your goals soon.
Touch your center
With constant practice come the fruits of a healthy life. Your center can be activated easily, and this will result in the opening up of the higher chakras.
Close seven opening of Head
Your head has 7 openings – two of the ears, eyes, nose (nostrils) and one of the mouth. For concentrating inwards, it is essential to close all of this. When you close these openings, your consciousness remains inside, and it becomes easier to work on its nuances.
Universal Pause
This refers to the stillness that you must aim to achieve with continuous Dharana.
Breath Bridge to Universe
Your breath is the primary unit of life according to eastern philosophies. This acts as a bridge between your Atman and the outer universe – Brahman. This bridge must be strong and well in control.
Gaurishankara Meditation
This technique helps you feel elevated and one with the Parabrahman and as high as the Mt. Everest. You can move mountains with the power of your mind and this technique will help you achieve your very best.
Be Weight less
Your weight weighs you down and keeps you closer to banes of the chaotic life. Being weightless refers to the ability to move beyond the worldly pleasures and connect with the higher being.
Middle of the Tongue
The tongue has a center just in the middle which controls your thoughts. If you suddenly become aware and you focus on that, your thoughts will stop. Focus as if your whole mind has come to the tongue – just in the middle and you will hear the Breath’s sound – HH.
Quit Desire
Desire is the biggest weakness of mankind and it is desire that stops one from achieving their goals of spiritual perfection. With meditation you learn to focus on the present and quit the worries and desires of the future/past.
Prana Nidra
Stilling the body and putting it into a sleep state is Prana Nidra which literally translates to the “Sleeping Soul”
Sage Patanjali described Dhyana as an uninterrupted flow of consciousness. The Yoga Sutra set (3:2) has the Tatra Pratyayaikantanata Dhynna which translates as:
“That uninterrupted of the content of consciousness is Dhyana. Dhyana is concentration without a break. It literary means ‘total, non-dual, absolute awareness.”
