SPECIAL REPORT
Unravelling the New Age
The online retreat ‘From Lockdown to Breakthrough’ organised in August was a deeply cathartic and transformative event say Shivi Verma and Navni Chawla
On August 4 and 5, 2021, Life Positive held a specialised two-day online event called From Lockdown to Breakthrough, which was attended by experts and veterans from diverse fields. Unlike other sessions, this one was intense, deep, and paradigm-shifting in many ways with change happening at the neurological level of the participants. Facilitators like Siddharrth S Kumaar, Rita Mahajan, Sandiip Pandit, and Vibhushri Rivesh Vade had a transformational effect on the participants, opening new vistas of knowledge and realisation for them.
Usha Saundaryaraj said, “Siddharth Kumar and Dr Rita Mahajan were both awesome. I am grateful to Life Positive for organising such beautiful workshops every year.”
VS Iyer said, “We thank the entire Life Positive team for giving us an opportunity to join the Breakthrough Weekend and participate in the workshops conducted by four eminent personalities of their own field. All the courses were very interesting and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed these two days. Hoping to participate in more such events in the future.”
Below is a glimpse of the workshops.
Day 1, August 4, 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
Decoding Numbers for Health and Wealth with Sidhharrth S Kumaar
Sidhharrth Kumaar was like a breath of fresh air, infusing the minds of participants with vitality, vigour, and verve. Each and everything that he imparted, related to numerology and wellness, was lapped up by the listeners.
Sidhharrth began his session by talking about the basic principle of the law of attraction—that one’s thoughts create one’s reality. The golden rule is ‘Be what you wish to attract,’ said Mr Kumaar.
He also reminded everyone of their own power and the need to omit any thought that does not add value to their life. He also spoke about the importance of expressing constant gratitude and managing one’s emotions. He added, “This is where numbers come into play. We are practically surrounded by numbers, and our lives are very dependent on them, whether it is our bank account number, Zoom ID code, passwords, ATM pin, mobile number, or date of birth. Just like there are certain colours which make us happy, certain numbers also call us.”
A date of birth has three important components: birth number, destiny number, and Zodiac number. He shared how adding up various combinations of the numbers in the date of birth can provide us with the hidden meaning of the destiny number, birth number, and zodiac number, which helps us in identifying our purpose, destiny, and potential. He shared a chart showing lucky colours for mental peace and happiness corresponding to one’s destiny number. He also discussed crystals and their amazing power to heal any aspect of life. Sidhharrth shared a list of healing code numbers that could be used and written on the left hand for a specific issue or purpose. He called numbers sources of energy. Numbers coming together activate certain energies and lead to the manifestation of what we wish to attract. After an amazing session full of his infectious enthusiasm and vibrating energy, he made everyone listen to a music clip which sent the participants into spontaneous meditation. All in all, this was one fine, compact, and wholesome workshop loved and relished by each participant.
2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.
Quantum Energy—The Future of Medicine with Dr Rita Mahajan
Dr Rita’s workshop was unique in her delivery and content. She moved away from plain concepts and discussed spiritual reality from the angle of quantum physics, making it possible to quantify and scientifically validate the concept of energy, emotions, and waves as they apply to human ascension to a higher reality.
Dr Rita began by thanking Life Positive for inviting her to share her wisdom with its readers. Talking about illusion, reality, and quantum physics, she said that in this world, nothing is solid. Light is considered to be the fastest traveller, but thoughts travel even faster, and we have not found any instrument to measure them so far. Thoughts put together and hold together this ever-changing energy field into the objects we see. Our thoughts are linked to this invisible energy, and they determine what the energy forms. Thoughts create things. A human being creates 60,000 thoughts in a day, but most of us create old, repeated patterns. Therefore, we need to be mindful of what we are thinking.
Talking about the human body, she said, “At the highest level, each life form possesses an innate bio-form. The bio-field maintains the integrity of the whole organism, regulating its physiological and biological responses. Energy medicine refers to several systems which work with the energy field of the body to help restore health.” Clarifying further, she said that we are not only physical but mental, emotional, and spiritual beings too. Therefore, we need to go deeper than the physical body to restore a person to total wellness. Stressing about the illusory nature of the human body, she said, “Inside the body, there are trillions of cells forming themselves into tissues and organs making us the way we are. The brain cells carry information in fractions of seconds to the organs, acting like a control switch. When there is an emotional or mental block, the information being received by the brain cells is disrupted and then comes the disease. A cellular structure is made up of molecules, and molecules are made of water. Pills work to ease body problems because they act on molecular water. However, molecules contain atoms, atoms are made up of electrons, neutrons, and protons, and the rest is empty space. This way the denser form of our body is only 0.000000001 per cent and the rest of it, in the atomic structure of the body, is 99.9999999999 per cent space, which means that the body is illusory and part of maya, which is unreal. The same has been said in our scriptures too. Therefore, most of the changes which we see occurring in the body are coming from thought energy through that empty space where energy travels in the form of thoughts and emotions.
“Another important discovery is that light also behaves like waves, including electrons, neutrons and protons, which means even humans can act like waves.
“We bring healing and rejuvenation to people who have not been able to find any relief through popular therapies,” She said.
Tapping into this knowledge, Dr Rita uses many techniques and types of equipment to physically and emotionally heal a patient. Treatments like Photobiomodulation therapy, Cosmodic regeneration, Far-Infra Chamber, Hydrotherapy Spa, SE 5 Radionics, and the like have altered the lives of patients with virtually irredeemable chronic diseases, in her centre in Bangalore.
August 5, 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
Self-mastery Through Mindfulness with Sandiip Pandit
Sandiip Pandit, a globally certified mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and executive leadership coach, was an embodiment of confidence and positivity as he began his session with sincere seekers of Life Positive. He opened the session, addressing the participants directly.
He said, “You have not arrived here by chance. I will show how I used the techniques which helped me in my life. You will be able to rediscover yourself; create a perfectly balanced life; get rid of stress, anxiety, and depression; carve a resilient mental and physical attitude; discover a life plan congruent with your self-image in your childhood days; banish fear; and live a fiercely positive life with a positive self-image.”
Sandiip shared a personal story of stammering in his childhood. He used to stammer in his school days and felt embarrassed about it. He wanted to overcome it and read somewhere that if he spoke on stage and participated in elocution and sports, he would be able to rectify this problem. Sandiip gave this his best shot and was able to become a successful stage speaker. He practised at home and visualised himself getting awarded and recognised for his amazing speaking skills. At that time, he did not know that this technique was called visualisation. But he felt enthused by his success and was able to scale many heights using this technique, going on to hold top positions in big multinationals as he grew older.
“We have greatness in us. We need to have patience when we are working on ourselves,” he said, reminding the participants of their hidden prowess. Eventually, Sandiip left his corporate job and became a public speaker. He shared a movie clip from the movie Rocky Balboa where the father awakens the son about the qualities of winners who never give up despite challenges, hostility, ridicule, and debilitating situations because they keep moving forward no matter what. Quoting Victor Frankl, Sandiip said, “’When you know your ‘what,’ you can take care of the ‘how.’ Find your inner core. Understand yourself and be mindful of it. Practise mindfulness for more awareness. Boost your self-image and carve a resonating life vision.”
Then Sandiip taught the benefits of mindfulness meditation and how it increases brainpower. He taught several meditation techniques to enhance mindfulness and stressed the importance of being regular with visualisation, positive self-talk, and goal reinforcement to gain maximum benefits from this module.
2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.
DNA-Awakening Through Frequency and Sounds with Vibhushri Rivesh Vade
Vibhushri Rivesh Vade is a Siddha Nada Yogi and the founder of Wellness Vibe and BodhMarga Foundation. His naval activation and DNA-awakening programmes are quite popular and sought after among top doctors, corporate units, B-schools, and colleges across the globe. Since childhood, Rivesh had the good fortune to be under the grace of some great masters. He learnt immensely from them about himself and life.
In his session, Vibhushri spoke about the nature and character of one’s DNA patterns that have information stored about everything one thinks and does in life. When some chaotic patterns from parents, ancestors, and surroundings are carried in one’s DNA, it becomes difficult for anyone to progress quickly in life. The information stored in our DNA is in the form of frequencies, sounds, and resonance. “Conflicts manifest in our life when we carry those conflicting frequencies in our DNA. If we wish to live our lives independently, it is important to know the guest frequencies sitting inside of us. Sometimes, the sounds of our DNA, like those of struggle, conflict, chaos, and disturbance, hold us back. Our ancient sages activated and explored the potential of our DNA, and acquired esoteric knowledge through meditation.” He also said that our DNA contains the entire Brahmaand (Universe).
If any one of our ancestors have been through a certain ordeal of scarcity, struggle, pain, etc., then they come into play in our lives as well. So, removing ancestral patterns is of utmost importance for our well-being.
Understanding that ‘I am not this DNA and its frequencies’ was the goal of Vibhushri's session. Forgetting guest frequencies of anger, jealousy, hate, frustration, and lack, and only remembering the host frequency of Hari/God/Divine was what he aimed for all the attendees of his workshops. To enable this, Rivesh played singing bowls of such frequencies that the listeners felt that their DNA was breaking into pieces and a deep-level transformation was happening in them. The participants lay down in a state of complete relaxation with music playing in the background (also available on their Wellness Vibe app) after everyone felt a surge of positive energy, a state of calmness and bliss.
Rivesh also runs another successful programme called Naval Activation, which creates a state of Sthit Pragya (being rooted in the essence, or source, or core of one’s being.)
