About Monika Kwik & Sky Shanti:

☀ KUNDALINI YOGA & MEDITATION with Monika Kwik (Chinmaya)

Instead of identifying ourselves with our Great Self, we identify with our body, emotions, ego. But the Scriptures, and Yogis remind us that if we fully unfold our Shaktis (energies), we are nothing else but the Supreme, Shiva.

The human body is actually a storehouse of vast power, and the object of sadhana (spiritual practice) is to raise these various forms of power back to their full expression. We have to retrace our steps and return to our source.The root of all our latent power is the Kundalini Shakti

Kundalini Shakti ( energy ) must be awakened from her dormant sleep, and then retrace hersteps, climbing back up through the various principles of creation. The various spiritual traditions employ a wide variety of means to awaken the dormant Kundalini.

MONIKA KWIK (CHINMAYA)

Chinmaya (Monika Kwik) undertook the teacher training in the school of Yogi Bhajan located in England (SKY) afterwards she decided to travel to India to meet a living Guru of the tradition of Kundalini Yoga.

☀ LIVE MANTRAS with Sky Shanti

Singing Mantra’s is a way to connect with the Divine, the Source of Peace, Happiness and Love. It’s a way for us to feel connected with our inherent Divine Nature, our true Self and with each other. When we come together to sing and open up our hearts to the flow of Life, we feel a sense of connection and Unity.

We can sense and feel that singing & chanting Mantra’s together makes us awake to a state of peace and joy which is actually our original true state of Being.

Nowadays there are many different kinds of Mantra’s available from various different traditions around the World. You may choose a particular Mantra/aspect of God which you feel most connected & attracted to.

The Mantra’s are chanted in the Sanskrit language. Sanskrit is one of the most ancient and unique languages in that it has the capability to influence our entire being on a very deep level.

The meaning of mantras will be displayed through the projector during the sessions.

The most important aspect is the amount of devotion with which we sing. We can let go of all our fears, worries and anxieties for the time being and just focus on singing with an open heart and letting the sound vibrations bring us to a deep state of peace and happiness.
