We know there is much global uncertainty at the moment alongside a pervasive digital influence. Therefore, the ancient yoga practice of cultivating a "psychic shield" has become an essential tool for navigating modern life.
Tias Little's workshop, Developing a Psychic Shield: How to Protect Yourself in Difficult Times, offers a profound exploration of traditional yogic methods tailored to contemporary challenges. This workshop provides practical techniques for maintaining mental clarity and emotional strength amidst the chaos of our current environment.
Yoga to Protect the Heart and Mind
Yoga has long taught the art of protecting the mind and heart, exemplified by the symbol of the hooded cobra in yogic lore, which shelters meditators from external disturbances. This image illustrates the core of Tias Little’s teaching—creating a barrier against the forces that unsettle our nervous systems, from ecological crises to social upheaval. The workshop emphasises the necessity of developing resilience, not just as a defensive measure but as a proactive cultivation of inner strength.
Participants will learn to use visualisation, somatic awareness, and intentional thought to build their mental fortifications.
Much like a spam filter shields us from unwanted emails, the psychic shield techniques taught by Tias help filter out invasive thoughts and energies that can lead to stress and burnout. This process is enhanced by restorative practices that focus on deep relaxation, allowing participants to experience the profound relief of truly letting go.
Furthermore, the course delves into the intersection of modern stressors and traditional practices. It highlights the relevance of a psychic shield in protecting against the "constant alert" state induced by our fast-paced, interconnected world. The workshop’s approach is deeply rooted in the philosophy that by fortifying our mental and emotional defences, we can navigate life’s storms with grace and equanimity.
This immersive experience is not only a protective measure but also a transformative journey that encourages participants to harness the power of yogic practices to secure peace and stability internally and externally.
Whether you’re facing professional stress, personal trials, or the simple overwhelm of daily life, this workshop offers valuable tools to safeguard your well-being and thrive in adversity.
For those unable to attend live, the workshop provides a 21-day access to recorded sessions, ensuring all participants can integrate these vital teachings into their practice at their own pace.
This opportunity is particularly significant as it marks a continuation of Yogacampus’s commitment to delivering accessible and profound yoga education that meets the needs of our times.
Join us to develop your psychic shield and turn your practice into a sanctuary of calm and resilience.
