This online gathering unfolds at a point of illumination in time, three days after the Lunar New Year — when our intentions for the year ahead are beginning to ripen and mature as we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse.

“Illumination is not about seeing external light,

but the “resplendent” light of consciousness

shining from within the core of one's being.”

— Richard Rudd

“…When this light is obscured within a human being it results in Confusion. The moment the mind stops thinking, the confusion ends.”

The purpose of this event is to clear the pathway of any confusion through the senses, the bodies own source of intelligence and wisdom. We’ll begin by balancing the right and left hemispheres of the brain through alternate nostril breathing then transition into bhramari* pranayama to withdraw the senses, turning our awareness inward, while simultaneously purifying the energy channels within the body. Through bhramari pranayama, we can reach the stage of effortless hearing, allowing us to listen to the internal sound; preparing us for deeper concentration and meditation through the ancient practice of trataka and sound bathing.

*Bhramar means bee.

“The bee is not floating around effortlessly, it’s gathering nectar. It’s sipping on the nectar of the divine. So with this pranayama, we can bring ourselves back into alignment and have clear direction, whilst sipping on the sweet nectar of the divine.”

What to expect:
- Pranayama breathing techniques
- Trataka candle gazing
- Sound healing
- Journalling

What you will need:
- A quiet and comfortable space
- Either a taper/pillar candle or a tea light candle
- Earphones/Headphones
- Journal and pen

“To be illuminated is to remain empty, while being constantly flooded with the rainbow colours of the inner aurora — it is to be an easel for the imagination of the universe itself.”
