Dying Into Life
March 30-April 1, 2012
Death and loss are universal experiences, which we all experience in our lives. With this training, we can help others in their own transformative journey and prepare ourselves to view and respond to these tragedies with more grace and inner serenity.
Death and loss are universal experiences, which we all experience in our lives. The experience of death and loss are never convenient, and everyone responds to them differently. For some, death is an ending, a tragedy, a wall of sorts; for others, it is a beginning, a door or an opportunity for tremendous personal growth and transformation. With training, we can help others in their own transformative journey and prepare ourselves to view and respond to these tragedies with more grace and inner serenity.
This workshop/training is based on an ancient Eastern spiritual orientation of death and loss, conducive to any religious or non-religious tradition. We will explore how life and death are experienced each moment of our lives. Your experience will include some simple relaxing and energizing chair exercises (can be done on the floor as well), mindful meditation (including the use of breath, sound, the gong, and hand positions), instructor-based lectures, whole and small group discussions, and expressions through art mediums. We will actually practice the process of dying, using ancient and safe meditations and visualization.

- Social workers and Counselors, working with death, grief and loss issues
- Healers of all disciplines
- Hospice Volunteers
- Yoga Teachers
- Anyone who might help someone else die, i.e. family member, friend

Special Yogic Philosophy and Technology Presentation and Experience
On Sunday afternoon, Dr. Jivan-Joti will do an optional additional session to include ancient yogic teachings from the Yoga Master Yogi Bhajan. You will learn how the Eight Chakras and the Ten Bodies are affected at the time of death. You will learn how to use your prana (Divine Energy), effectively directing the soul up the Chakras and out the top Tenth Gate at the time of death. You will learn Pran Sutras (Sanskrit based mantras) to help guide the soul to liberation. To conclude, you will combine all of this knowledge to have a life-transforming death experience.

Workshops Testimonials
“I always look forward to attending your courses, because when I leave I feel rejuvenated, motivated and at peace with myself. It seems that it is the only time that my mind is clear and when I am the most confident with myself as a person and as a woman. I am learning to become more independent and self-sufficient. I am becoming the person I want to be.” Stephanie
“You’ve been a wonderful teacher, giving me the ability to strengthen my physical and emotional wellbeing. More importantly, you’ve managed to awaken my heart, open my eyes, and let my spirit fly. Thank you.” Thyrra
“Physical and spiritual practice is a gift, an opportunity for renewal, for perspective, something that reminds me of the expanse of living and a taste of the Infinite within each moment, a sense sometimes dulled by the events of a day and my reaction to them. Some sanity is now returning.” Marc
