Harmonyum Certification and Naam Yoga Retreat

I spent the weekend earning my Harmonyum Practitioner’s certification at a gorgeous retreat overlooking the ocean in Malabou, California. The retreat is part of a monastery, peaceful, secluded and simple in its exquisite, austere beauty. The days were long, but full of such powerful, life-changing classes, and I met people there I know will stay in my life for years to come.

Naam Yoga is a form of yoga based on chanting, meditation, Cabala and moving poses, rather than still, held asanas like physical Hatha yoga. There is singing, dancing, constant motion of the hands, voice, body and mind. It combines the best things from your dance classes with the soothing quiet stretching of your yoga classes, then steps it up several notches! Throw in some amazing mental acrobatics, some serious mudras that could give sign language a run for the money, and a good course in vocal harmonizing, and you’ve got Naam. Your mind is fully engaged, your heart is fed, and your soul is bathed in the light of your work. And you are guaranteed to work up a sweat! It’s something you have to try for yourself.

If you have nevr had a Harmonyum treatment, the best way I can put it into words for you is that it feels like you are receiving a giant, warm, gentle hug from god, light, and the good things in the universe. It’s wondrous. Your body relaxes, your mind just drifts, and your whole being revives, nourished, satiated and warm all over. You’re not asleep, but you feel like it. You’re in a healing trance, a loving, safe place where true healing can take place, of the body, heart and soul. If you are ready for transformation on every level, ready to walk the highest path the universe has prepared for you through your own divinity, then find your nearest certified Harmonyum practitioner, and go for a treatment.

I used to think massages were the best way to relax! If my mind never came out of a massage feeling, well, massaged, my body felt great, and so why should I complain? That was before I got a Harmonyum treatment! My muscles got worked on in a massage, but my heart and mind came out as busy and full as when I went in. Harmonyum gets into all three levels, and even deeper. It’s non-invasive, and if you are uncomfortable being touched in a massage, you can receive a Harmonyum treatment where the practitioner doesn’t lay a finger on you. You are fully clothed, comfortable, and if nothing else, it’s a chance to take n hour out of your hectic day and just chill out. Who doesn’t think that sounds wonderful? Harmonyum heals Karma, using energy work, gentle massage and your own power to self heal. Most holistic medicine believes in not just treating the symptoms of an illness, but finding and treating the root of an illness. Harmonyum is the most direct path to this that I, as a healer, have ever seen. But again, you’ll have to try it for yourself.
