Holistic Health Counselling

This holistic counselling practice addresses physical, mental, and spiritual well-being by applying a range of methods tailored to individual needs:

  1. Physical Well-Being:
    The principles of Kaya Kalpa, an ancient system of rejuvenation and longevity, are applied to support physical vitality and balance. In addition, specific spinal care exercises are incorporated to maintain spinal health, improve posture, and enhance overall mobility and strength.

  2. Mental Health:
    Guided meditations are utilized to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve focus. These meditative practices are adaptable to meet varying mental health goals and challenges, fostering a calm and balanced state of mind.

  3. Spiritual Well-Being:
    A unique system of oracle readings, developed to provide spiritual insights and guidance, is a key component. This system is supported by a custom-designed oracle deck, which is available for purchase at the Yoga Veda Beach store.

These practices collectively aim to integrate and balance the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of life, offering a comprehensive approach to holistic well-being

When practiced consistently, effective yoga exercises bring about two parallel awakenings within an individual. Both of these are already present in seed form within everyone and are part of our longing and purpose. These two awakenings are:

First, the purification of the body and psyche through energy—referred to in yoga as Prana. Prana is a form of life energy present in everyone, essential for survival. Additionally, it is stored in large amounts near the base of the spine. When the main channel to this storage is opened upwards and Prana subsequently spreads with increasing intensity throughout the body, this is referred to as the awakening of Kundalini. The particles or energy carriers that constitute Prana have not yet been identified by Western science, but for anyone who has experienced it, Kundalini is VERY real. Initially, sensations such as tingling, heat, or vibrations are typical. Later, this evolves into a pleasant flow throughout the body, often likened to the recovery phase after aerobic exercise. Eventually, these sensations become ecstatic, surpassing any other sensory experience in duration and intensity. This occurs as the purification process progresses, allowing the nervous and energy systems to absorb much more energy without becoming overwhelmed. This entire process subtly transforms the body, introducing new biological functions (e.g., the nectar cycle) that can be directly observed. As a result of this purification, a deep sense of joy and universal love emerges, and one becomes increasingly inclined to abandon bad habits and adopt compassionate and helpful behaviors.

Second, the parallel awakening is the development of our higher consciousness. Initially, this is experienced as silent self-witnessing and later as a loving unity with all that is—a state even more beautiful than the physical ecstasy. Before this development, most of us tend to fill our perception constantly with sensory impressions, emotions, and thoughts. Consequently, we form a superficial, false impression of our identity. We start to define our "self" by our body, habits, character, abilities, limitations, lifestyle, etc. However, there is something beyond all this—something that can witness the highs and lows of life without being negatively affected. This is our higher, true self. By calming the mind with effective meditation techniques and freeing ourselves from the blockages we have accumulated, with the help of Kundalini, this true self gradually reveals itself. The result is love, sincere behavior, and a quiet, gentle happiness—a kind of relieving peace that, over time, remains unshaken even amidst daily chaos. This new blissful self-awareness persists even during deep sleep and ultimately merges with the ecstatic and energetic aspects of our nature. This leads to what Yogani calls the "outpouring of divine love into the world," transforming us into "THAT," the essence of all good that exists—simply put, enlightenment.

Simplicity and Effectiveness of Techniques

The techniques described are simple—a contributing factor to their effectiveness. The system explains how the exercises work, what they entail, and how they complement each other for maximum impact. While spiritual anatomy and mysticism (chakras, energy channels, Shiva-Shakti analogies, etc.) are presented, they are treated as phenomena operating "under the hood"—similar to the body's physical organs. Knowing you have a liver is nice, but an in-depth intellectual understanding isn't necessary for it to function. Thus, prior knowledge of Indian philosophy or adherence to a specific belief system is not a prerequisite for practicing effectively. Anyone interested can start at their own pace and master the simple techniques. Advanced practitioners can enhance their current practice with appropriate elements as per their needs and preferences.

Safety and Progressive Transformation

Following the system with a reasonable degree of personal responsibility ensures the transformation is not only highly pleasant but also safe. The enlightenment process described—especially its energetic aspect—is not something one can rush through in a day. If powerful yoga exercises are practiced haphazardly or taught through incomplete teachings, they can lead to excessive energy surges, imbalances, or overload of the nervous system, resulting in unpleasant or even significant problems in daily life. Stories of "Kundalini horror" are not uncommon and might deter some from pursuing a spiritual path. While spontaneous awakenings or occasional overloads cannot be entirely ruled out, even with the best practices, the likelihood, duration, and intensity of issues are significantly reduced on this path compared to others. Many who came to this system with energetic instability have found it to stabilize their practice. The progressive approach of introducing new elements slowly over months further enhances safety.

Comprehensive and Open System

The system is comprehensive, taking practitioners from beginner levels to full realization. The exercises cover the breadth of yoga's eight limbs and are selected from a wide range of traditions for their efficiency and safety. The system integrates practices from Mantra Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and Kundalini Yoga, as well as elements of timeless common sense. It is an open, integrated system designed for ease of application, effectiveness, and completeness based on scientific principles—validated through the experiences of numerous practitioners over the years.

Friendly and Accessible Approach

This system requires no extreme behaviors or commitments to begin learning the exercises. The Yamas and Niyamas (yogic codes of conduct) are treated as outcomes rather than prerequisites of inner development. Many practitioners find this approach more natural and enjoyable compared to external regulation. Over time, one naturally desires to help others and to align with universal principles that true spiritual systems and religions have long recognized.

Final Thoughts

This system offers anyone willing to dedicate a bit of daily effort the chance for enhanced quality of life, inner peace, ecstasy, and enlightenment. No guru is required, nor asceticism on a distant mountaintop—just a little time and the desire to explore if there might be something more between heaven and earth than a short life in the rat race.
