The AnandaOm & Yoga Bliss Research and Training Center Retreat that took part in Posada Natura Mountain Retreat in February, built by architect and owner Gustavo, was nothing but bliss! The event attracted a beautiful fun loving group of 13 participants who came back home more relaxed, rejuvenated and joyous than ever with new insights and wisdom. It was a blessed experience in a true paradise where amazing people gathered to marvel at spiritual healing Mother Nature with its river, waterfalls, lush scenery, and sacred geometry. During this weeklong stay, attendees also enjoyed organic plant-based nutrition in a place of unique architecture with a sweat lodge, sauna, and swimming pool. The Manuel Antonio Park and beaches were absolutely superb.

It was the perfect setting for a retreat of spiritual awakening given by Grand Master in Reiki Brana, and legend of Yoga Wisdom, Dr. Madan Bali, opening our consciousness and uniting us to the five natural elements in an atmosphere of love and joy where we danced our hearts out, sang and shared unforgettable moments of deep heartfelt laughter, happiness and euphoric well-being. We remember fondly our crystal ceremony with Gustavo & Luke and our Reiki Family. Feeling so very blessed for the unique opportunity we had to center ourselves at the beginning of the New Year, an opportunity to heal and grow. Join us next year!

DL: Dr. Bali, you never seem to get sick! You’ve taught yoga every day for over 40 years consistently. How have you lived a long and healthy life?

Dr. B: The key to human wellness is stilling the mind and connecting to breath. Breath is the most precious source of nourishment. We have a complete pharmacological system within our bodies comprised of trillions of intelligent cells hard-wired for life. Our bodies are orchestrated with mathematical precision towards connection and renewal. Through regular yoga, pranayama, and meditation, we can allow the body to do what it is designed to do: orchestrate peace and healing. It is understood by science that humans utilize only 10% of their brain. Yoga seeks to activate every cell in our body to participate in the dance of life! I like the story of Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist who herself suffered a stroke. She sums it up this way: “The powerful reality that I am not the body, I am not the mind, I have a body, I have a mind, who I am is the source of both.”

DL: What is the role of modern medicine in a yogi’s life today? You have done glowing work with breast cancer patients and others facing chronic debilitating conditions using The Bali Method Your website has testimonials from women all over the world. Tell us more.

Dr. B: Medicinalities of the finest quality reside within our cells. Millions of people are suffering through overstimulation, disconnected from infinite loving consciousness. Regular Yoga as a complementary therapy establishes connections to an unending wealth of purpose and deep healing. Many of the solutions that we turn to again and again are merely Band-Aids. Yoga, meditation and breathing techniques can mobilize the mind and body to access its own power, alleviating the suffering we experience from stress, anxiety, depression, hypertension, migraines, fatigue, asthma, chronic pain, and helping us to manage serious illnesses like cancer. Like a cell phone or electronic device, our bodies need to recharge by quieting the mind. The Bali Method focuses on

the subtle body, which corresponds to the autonomic nervous system from which stress and emotions emanate. Comfort and joy is medicine. Visualize yourself being fulfilled, being perfected, completed. That image in your consciousness will be actualized. This is the moment to treasure.

DL: What do you think about the way Yoga is taught in the West today and how can we yoga teachers make yoga more meaningful in a lasting way to others? Dr. B: My book called Taming the Mind, is a prescription for total wellness, which “teaches your mind to heal your body, and your body to heal your mind” and goes beyond the Western notion of asana (postures) as mere exercise. Mechanism, neuroplasticity, and quantum physics firmly support this expansive approach. In the West, there is an unnatural emphasis on learning perfect poses or having a certain kind of body. It’s much more nourishing, healing, and natural to shift from a state of “always doing” to being. Yoga is holographic, ageless, timeless, connecting us to trillions of cells in the body across life – that’s the magic we can live.

DL: Because of your lifelong dedication as a yoga teacher and Vedic scholar, I’m very curious to ask you: what is your favorite poem, song, or chant?

Dr. B: I have two for you.

1. “So Hum” – That I am – Simply inhale “So” and exhale “Hum”. This simple mantra returns us to a state of being that is beyond just “doing”.

2. My favorite mantra is the mother of all mantras: The Gayatri Mantra. Gayatri is a complete prayer for protection, nourishment and finally, liberation. Through this mantra, we ask the higher source to help us to make better choices to shape our destiny.

Om Bhur Bhuvaḥ Swaḥ Tat-savitur Vareñyaṃ Bhargo Devasya Dhīmahi Dhiyo Yonaḥ Prachodayāt

DL: Dr. Bali, how do you want to be remembered?

Dr. B: (laughter) I don’t have any say in that. I guess it’s up to you!

Well, if it’s up to me, I’d say I agree with his daughter. Half Sean Connery, half yogi might be a good way to think about Dr. Bali. But, by sewing golden seeds of yoga bliss to heal the world, he means so much more!

The post This is the Moment to Treasure An interview with Dr. Madan Bali, PhD By San Francisco Yoga Magazine appeared first on Yoga Bliss Studio – Dr. Bali, PhD.

Dr. Bali was one of the much-awaited teachers at the San Diego Yoga Festival, an event that attracted a few thousand people from all walks of life, initiating them to the joys of Yoga. Dr. Bali was actually quite the star that week in San Diego, as he was interviewed for both the San Diego Tribune and the San Diego Yoga Magazine. As a special treat from us to you, we’ve posted one of these articles –  “This is the Moment to Treasure, An interview with Dr. Madan Bali, PhD” –  on our Website. It’s a great read so don’t miss it!

Also, while in San Diego, our engaged and ever so active Dr. Bali didn’t miss the opportunity to visit the Deepak Chopra Center where he was warmly welcomed by the staff and faculty members who gave him a tour of the beautiful Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, CA. Last but not least, he was also honoured to share the wonders of his method, the Dr. Bali Method, as he was invited by instructor Eddy Faiz to give a short workshop to the participants of an Ayurvedic workshop that was taking place that weekend. All members and participants dearly appreciated his presentation.

You have probably noticed how some people pay thousands and thousands of dollars to travel all the way to India in a quest for wisdom, insights and well-being. With Dr. Bali’s teachings and direct knowledge of one of the world’s most ancient physical, mental and spiritual traditions, let India come to you, right here, right now, in the city of Montreal.

Considering that there is so much sadness, anxiety and existential human suffering in the world, in almost 50 years of teaching, Dr. Bali has realized that Yoga is the complete prescription for health, happiness, healing and creating abundance in our everyday life.

The main reason for most people not to be able to take advantage of this most effective and therapeutic system is due to the inability to afford the cost of the Yoga teacher training course he offers, one that creates a happier and more fulfilling life that is accessible to all. In order to overcome this difficulty, he has therefore decided to offer those unable to cover the cost of the course and those meeting the norms established by the studio to benefit from a payment arrangement adapted to their means.

If you think this arrangement can help, please call Dr. Bali in order for you to discuss your situation and make a suitable plan that will allow you to overcome some of the obstacles of life that seem challenging but that can be entirely conquered by applying the ancient wisdom and power of Yoga.

As we are all united through this great experience that is life, it is also our dearest wish that you, as a teacher some day, be able to pay it forward and help someone else in a similar predicament in order to make this world a better place to live in.

God bless you!

Montreal will be hosting its first major yoga exhibition where about 10,000 people are expected. It is set to be a huge event with the wonderful mission of uniting people from all walks of life to understand and experience first-hand the benefits of Yoga. More than just an exhibition, Expo Yoga is an all-encompassing event that will hold over 60 workshops, conferences, and master classes for all levels of people, from beginner to advanced. Partake in this celebration of life and health and bathe in the insights and knowledge of the greatest teachers and masters whose sole purpose is to get the same message out – the message that all the resources you need are readily available for you to heal yourself and create abundance in your life. These conferences will teach you about how to awaken that power.

Granting us with his unique knowledge in Vedanta, Dr. Bali will be one of the main presenters. Having been brought up in India, and having immersed in the knowledge and insight of great mentors, Dr. Bali will be sharing his method, a technique that has successfully helped thousands of people heal and attain pure health for over 50 years now. The Bali method teaches practitioners how to use their brain’s finest technology to decongest our gut – our second brain – by hardwiring the brain-body connection in order for healing to become spontaneous. It is by using the knowledge that the Bali method teaches that a shift in consciousness can occur. By teaching us how to tame and suspend our mental chatter, and therefore learn to live in the present moment and allow fear and anxiety to subside, Dr. Bali will help us get a feel of the healing power of Now. With the Bali method, increase your creative powers and tap into your full potential.
