Ayurveda
The name of the genuine vedic/Indian traditional healing art. Especially known is the dietetics with its different types. As nothing is well for everyone it needs an intensive consideration of the individual in order to determine the respective diet, for example. Ayurvedic cooking features diligent spice recipes and with interesting variations provides for some palatal surprises.
Chakras
Chakras are large swirling energy centres inside our body. Apart from the 7 major chakras, our joints are so called small chakras. They are closely connected to our glands and the organs regulated by them. Each chakra has a specific colour, forming the body‘s internal rainbow. Inside the chakra, energy moves back and forth in a circle and hereby leads to the different layers of our aura, which is like an energetic shell enveloping and protecting our physical body. Most individuals don‘t see the aura, but intuitively avoid individuals with an aura vibe that doesn‘t suit them, or are pleasantly pulled towards those whose aura they sympathize with. Through these chakras we establish energetic connections to other individuals. Chakras can be both over- or under-active. Through Yoga, Qi Gong, visualization or brainwave entrainment, they can be cleansed, balanced and protected – as well as our whole aura.
Karma
The current existence‘s life objective. Account of your soul until re-birth. Cause and effect, actions do not vanish to just any place, but are stored in a soul matrix, challenges to grow with again, to dissolve the ego, in order not to be born as an insect.
Kundalini
Kundalini is emblematic of the snake of sexuality, which rests in the pelvic base, ascends the spine and opens the the crown chakra. In so many words: It opens and channels blocked sexual energy, and transforms it. The flexibility of the spine and energetic permeability is basic requirement to awaken the Kundalini (snake). Thus Kundalini yoga and meditation are often comprised of very dynamic and ensuing meditative elements.
Mantra
A mantra is a sung or spoken prayer or invocation of a deity. As linguists have found out the syllables have a specific sound working either soothingly or stimulatingly. The rhythm of repetition helps people into a trance-similar state which has had a very healing effect since ages.
Om
OM or also Oauhm is named the cosmic primaeval tone or primaeval sound. Sung with appropriate vibration in the chakras and the right breathing it has a healing energizing effect.
Qi
Qi or CHI, written Ki, is the Chinese/Japanese term for life energy. Without Qi no life. Each life form, even plants contain Qi. Thus, when we feel without energy this can be because of a deficient Qi. There are various forms of Qi, the nutrition Qi, which we gain by nutrition, the prenatal Qi, which we receive from our parents, the Wei Qi that is our defence Qi, which envelops us like a shell and lets us feel beforehand that someone will soon appear around the corner. Specifically this Chi with the term aura, is very similar to the energy shell. Qi Gong is caring for the Qi. Qi must be moved, able to flow, for this purpose our body has meridians, so-called energy paths. The acupuncture points are influential places on the meridians. Here one can massage, knocked, held or acupunctured. By moving the Qi Gong the Qi is put into motion again as well.
Shakti
Shakti is the Indian primeval goddess, the mere female creative principle. She is cosmos and earth, on which Shiva is allowed to move. Shakti is the force behind our breathing, she is the force of the entire universe, she is the universe. She is also called the goddess of Yoga and rather appears as a fighter (Durga), as lover (Parvarti), as mother (Lakshmi) or destroyer (Kali), just to name a few of the shapes she is taking.
Shamanism
The art of healing during trance. There are shamans on the whole planet who during their trance states make healing voyages. During these they are perceiving the world as in a grid-pattern, through which they move on different layers. Animals and earth forces are the shaman‘s main allies. They have a strong connection to the root chakra, whereas media and channeller maintain their connection towards other worlds through the crown chakra.
