Spiritualism

Free of charge \| Event series 2026 \| MahaYoga Zentrum **Presentation in English about:** * „The Astrological Quality of Time for the Month“ & „Specifics of the Special Moment of Shivaratri“: 21:30 – 22:30 * **Meditation for the Moment of Shivaratri:** 22:30 – 00:00 The sages use many methods to remain awake and attentive in every moment. However, the lower mind can obstruct this wakeful and alert state if we are not aware of this instrument – our mind – and its place in our lives. Without this awareness, we allow it to be driven by lower impulses and the (collective) unconscious, leading us away from our true potential. The time around the new moon favors the stillness of the lower mind, allowing access to a higher state of pure perception. This state enables us to connect our consciousness to the universal mind (Shiva) and uncover the essential truth behind every experience. As meditating together in a group amplifies the effects, we gather monthly for the „Night of Shiva“ to experience this collective energy. Beforehand, an experienced astrologer will present the astrological quality of the moment of Shivaratri, including an outlook on the time quality of the upcoming month. Becoming aware of the astrological quality of time helps align our lives with the „Big Picture,“ bringing us closer to harmony with the cosmos and the divine will. It also helps to create an awareness of subtle nuances that can be absorbed and felt during the subsequent meditation. Afterward, there will be an introduction to the question: „What is Shivaratri, and why is it especially valuable to meditate at this moment?“ We will gain valuable insights from an experienced yoga teacher on the role of Shiva in our personal lives. We will then meditate together for 1,5 hours. Since this is a long meditation, please wear comfortable clothing. We have cushions and seating available, but chairs are also provided. It’s best to come on an empty stomach. Drinks can be brought into the yoga hall in closed containers. #### **Event dates 2026** * 16th of January * 15th of February (Maha Shivaratri) * 17th of March * 15th of April * No event in May * 13th of June * 12th of July * 11th of August * 9th of September * 8th of October * 7th of November * 6th of December You can write questions to berlin@traditionelles-yoga.de We look forward to celebrating Shivaratri with you.

\#\#\# Was ist Breathwork? Conscious Breathwork bedeutet bewusstes atmen. Und das ist es letztendlich auch, was wir etwa 70 Minuten lang machen werden. In einer Breathwork Session geht es vor allem darum, dass Du loslassen, Dich entspannen und mit Dir selbst und Deinem Unterbewusstsein verbinden kannst. Das geht am besten, in dem Du gar nichts erwartest und nicht so viel dadrüber nachdenkst. ✨ \#\#\# Das erwartet Dich Nach einem kurzen Check-In beginnen wir mit der Session. Die Atmung kann im Liegen oder Sitzen statt finden, ganz nach Deiner Wahl. Du wirst durch ein bewegendes Musikset geführt, wodurch Du in eine Trance-Atemmeditation gelangst. Hier kannst Du unter anderem diese Erfahrungen machen: Stress abbauen, herausfinden, was da noch in Dir steckt, Dein Potential entfalten, innere Anspannungen lösen oder unterdrückte Emotionen freilassen, in Dich hinein horchen und Lösungen finden, Kreative Ideen und Visionen erhalten oder einfach eine berührende Zeit haben. \#\#\# Über Nina Seit 2015 bin ich [Anusara® Elements™](https://www.anusarayoga.com/) Yogalehrerin. Es folgten viele Weiterbildungen in den Bereichen Chakren, Meditation, Yoga und Trauma. 2018 habe ich mich zudem auf die Heldenreise begeben. Seit 2023 bin ich Atemtherapeutin Conscious Breathwork nach der [Lichtatmung®](https://naou.de/lichtatmung/) und freue mich sehr, Dich bei Deiner Reise begleiten zu dürfen. In meine Sessions fließen meine unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen ein. Was mich jedoch am meisten bewegt: Mich begeistert alles, was Dich mehr bei Dir selbst ankommen lässt, Dich mit Deiner Lebendigkeit und vor allem Deinem Herzen verbindet! \#\#\# Bitte mitbringen: – Yogamatte oder andere Unterlage (z.B Isomatte), damit Du es schön gemütlich hast – Lockere, angenehme Kleidung – Alles andere, was Dich noch wohlfühlen lässt.

This nourishing 60-minute session blends a gentle, feel-good yoga flow with immersive sound healing to help you move, breathe, and soften back into yourself. We begin with a slow, intuitive flow designed to release tension, awaken the body, and create a sense of ease and fluidity. Movements are accessible and adaptable, focusing on grounding, opening the heart, and reconnecting to natural rhythm rather than pushing or striving. Breath awareness guides each transition, allowing the practice to feel both energizing and calming. As the body settles, the session gradually transitions into a deeply restful sound journey. Using instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and voice gently wash through the nervous system, supporting relaxation, emotional release, and creative flow. You're invited to rest, receive, and simply be. This class is ideal if you're seeking: * A gentle yet uplifting movement practice * Stress relief and nervous system reset * A sense of grounding, creativity, and embodied calm * A mindful experience that blends movement, sound, and presence No prior yoga or sound healing experience is needed. Come as you are - curious, tired, inspired, or simply in need of a pause. ✨ Move. Feel. Rest. Reset. ✨ Bring your own mat or use one of ours.

A nourishing space for self-reflection and growth. Explore the principles of Tantra through direct experience and **welcome a more liberated version of yourself.** Living Tantra is a workshop series created for those who wish to deepen their exploration of Tantra. Inspired by ancient Tantric philosophy, each gathering takes us into a new theme through embodiment, meditation, energy practices and more.

My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path.

Just as the moon wanes and waxes in its cycle, the journey of transformation is an enduring rhythm. Each phase in the turns of our lives evokes in us deep psychological and symbolic processes. For, we are the material of transformation. We both tend to and feel the fires that burn away the old self to reveal what will come. Jung associated the four alchemical stages of the transformation process: Nigredo (black), Albedo (white), Citrinitas (yellow), and Rubedo (red) with the stages of personal change. We’ll begin with a short overview of Jung's work on alchemy, focusing on the theory, and include some reflections from his students. Then, we'll move into an open conversation around the themes of transformation, symbol, archetype, and resilience.

We are inviting you to our next Evening of Meditation on **Sunday, the 18th of January**. These gatherings are not just about meditating on your own, but a step inward that we take together regarding a particular topic. As children, we are all more curious and open to learn about everything. Over time, however, something changes. We tend to enter a state where learning becomes difficult, and resistance arises that prevents us from welcoming new insights and experiences into our lives. Let’s explore together how we can rediscover **Openness to learning** to create a richer experience of life. 📍Where: [Yoga Sky](https://maps.app.goo.gl/kBxUvZrqo5yzRNe88?g_st=ipc), Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin Follow the Yoga Sky signs in the yard, and take the elevator to the top floor. 🗓 When: Sunday, 18th of January, 19:00 - 20:30 Please arrive 5-10 min earlier to settle down. 🎟️ Entry: € 5, just to pay for the space (in cash or PayPal) For more info go to: [https://onenessberlin.com/](https://onenessberlin.com/) You’re welcome, no matter your background or experience.

Essential oils support the body in its healing work. Symphony of Cells (SOC) is a collection of 21 essential oil applications that target a different body system. Applying the oils to the back and the feet is selected because of the large number of nerve endings along the spine and on the bottom of the feet. Nourishing the nerve endings helps to feed all the organs and glands of the body. Essential oils are natural plant oils obtained from different parts of the plant and easily recognized and used by the body to help achieve balance and assist in cleansing of foreign substances. SOC was created by Boyd Truman, a DoTERRA Wellness advocate, to create physical, emotional and spiritual journey within the body. Receive a SOC Essential Oil Healing Experience Session. Please Note: The SOC Essential Oil Experience Session is by appointment only. Message by 8pm the day prior to the event to reserve a time slot.

Bring your blankey instead, for this super relaxing immersion! According to cutting-edge doctors from Harvard, some of the deepest most profound healing in the body are accomplished with sound frequency. That's old news though. A 2nd century stone relief in the Himalayan mountains shows us that Buddha and his entourage knew this before Christ walked the earth. The stone relief depicts the Buddha and his buddies playing ancient Tibetan singing bowls.

A magical alchemy of 7-12 different metals rings in the past, present, and future for our relaxing enchantment. Even modern doctors are using these old metal bowls for healing, and they are not practicing Buddhists! As a matter of fact, modern Buddhists no longer use the bowls in their practice. Come experience these gifts from the past in this NON-religious practice of our present. Come be rejuvenated or just captivated by this unique musical performance. Bring your pillows, blankeys, and yoga mats and snuggle into the comfort of the tranquil sounds.

**Together on a Spiritual Path (Free Event)** **Is it possible to grow spiritually in isolation? It’s quite natural to think about our personal spiritual growth and development in terms of improving our own life, but how does that relate to the real world around us?** **What if our own personal growth is closely connected to the growth and progress of others? And what if turning our gaze beyond just ourselves to also focus on the progress of others and of our communities not only helps make the world a better place but is actually what helps us grow?** **Come join a different kind of conversation – one that welcomes every perspective in a search for the underlying truths that unite us all – as we discuss the spiritual perspectives offered by the Bahá’í Teachings on how practicing selflessness and incorporating service to others can actually further our own growth. Join us for a lively discussion as we explore the ways in which self-development is connected with that of those around us.** **"Whosoever has lost himself has found the universe and the inhabitants thereof. Whosoever is occupied with himself is wandering in the desert of heedlessness and regret. The "master-key" to self-mastery is self-forgetting." – Bahá'í Teachings** **\*\*\* This event is free and open to all regardless of background or belief. Donations will not be accepted.**
