Fat, Sugar and Health Explained

Thursday 18 February 2016 at 7pm

The quantity and quality of the fats we eat has a great influence on our health, and just a few simple adjustments can make a big difference. In this recording Dr. Picha gives a clear overview of the types of oils, the chemistry of oils, and the roles of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. A well-balanced use of oils is able to prevent health issues such as stroke, coronary artery disease, inflammation, asthma, metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and cancer.

The following questions are answered:
How much fat is good?
Types of dietary fatty acids
Omega 3 and omega 6 oils
How much sugar is ok?

How to Regain Balance

Thursday 10  March 7pm

We all have tell-tale symptoms when we feel a little out of sorts. Understanding what could be causing these subtle signs of imbalance can help remove or reduce their influence in our lives.  If you are experiencing some discomfort there is usually a cause, a pattern of behaviour that has thrown you out of balance.  Correcting imbalance early will reduce the risk of disease developing.  Dr Brennan will impart the precious wisdom on how to recognise your tell-tale symptoms of being out of balance, how to regain balance, boost your natural immunity, the secret to restful sleep, increasing energy and more.

Yoga Asana

Neuromuscular Integration Programme

'Time spend on Yoga Asana is a Golden Time of Day' Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi Ayurveda Exercise works on three levels - the body, the breath, and the mind.  The exercises are practised daily in a progression from grosser to subtler; one begins with the body (asanas - neuromuscular integration), then goes to the breathing, (pranayama - neurorespiratory integration)and, finally, the mind (Transcendental Meditation).

Pranayama - Alternate Nostril Breathing

A Neurorespiratory Integration Programme

These breathing exercises are derived from what is traditionally called pranayama (literally, 'regulating the breath').

Benefits:
Pranayama refines the breath and allows oxygen to circulate more readily.  It energizes while also relaxes the mind and body.  It creates balance in the physiology, improves nervous system functioning and benefit many specific organs.

Celebrate the Summer Solstice with a Trip to Schiehallion

Summer Solstice at Schiehallion - Spiritual Centre of Scotland

Saturday 20 June 2015

We hope you, your friends and family can join us for our annual walk up Schiehallion and flag raising ceremony.  Our Summer solstice trips to Schiehallion, started in 2006 as a means of bringing everyone together from all over Scotland, for a picnic and group meditation.  The event has continued on ever since.  Schiehallion is close to the Brahmasthan (centre point) of Scotland.  These places have a special significance for the country.  The Brahmasthan embodies the heart values of the country.  So we will travel to the Brahmastahn and meditate there and enliven those qualities for the whole of the nation.
