Sat Nam Rasayan
Origins of Sat Nam Rasayan
Sat Nam Rasayan translated means "deep relaxation in to your True Self".
It is a form of healing that uses a specific state of the meditative consciousness as a tool for healing. The practitioner works with their inner sensations and awareness, and lightly touches the patient. Through a process of stabilising their awareness and increasing their sensitivity, congestions and imbalances in the patient are released.
This Healing Art is part of a traditional Indian system of healing that in its present lineage comes from the tradition of Kundalini Yoga. The practice of Sat Nam Rasayan shares many similarities with forms of Buddhist meditation - such as Vipassana - but it differs in the sense that its emphasis and intention is to heal others, rather than purely for gaining self realisation.
In the ancient times this kind of knowledge was a closely guarded secret and was passed on from master to disciple in the traditional eastern way. The student learned with the teacher in silence and never spoke directly about what was being learnt.
Today
Today however, the healer learns through a guided meditation process with a teacher. This system of teaching has been pioneered and perfected by the work of Guru Dev Singh, who studied this art in the traditional way from his Master Yogi Bhajan.
Now the exclusivity of learning has been abandoned. Anyone who wants to learn this healing art can do so by studying with Guru Dev Singh or one of his students. Work shops and retreats are held throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Uses
Sat Nam Rasayan can be used for all aliments and conditions, subtle, gross, acute and chronic. Essentualy, Sat Nam Rasayans brings balance back to the patients system. Patients experience profound states of relaxation and a deeper sense of health and well being.
Learning
The benefits that the Sat Nam Rasayan healer obtains through practicing are not only the experience of deep states of meditation and sensitivity, but also increased levels of tolerance and flexibility in daily life. Prejudices and challenges disappear to a greater extent, in as much as the healer can see the True Nature of things - how they are, and not how she/he wants them to be. The healer has the opportunity to practice acceptance, and that can be a departure point for greater transformation. Learning Sat Nam Rasayan will give the student a fantastic tool to use for healing and treating patients.
