Over the years he has practiced most of the main forms of Theravada Buddhist meditations, focusing on Metta (Unconditional love) and Vippassana (Insight) practices. Through his practice of inner awareness he gained the ability to be aware of other peoples mind states as well, this enables him to help people to see and heal their own emotional pains. Nishan has helped many people to heal their pains and cultivate inner love, his teachings, guided meditations and excellent reviews can be found at facebook.com/HealingWithInsight

Nishan deeply believes that through understanding and experiencing key Buddhist principles and healing meditations one is able to  use every situation in life as opportunity to heal inner pains and cultivate deeper self love and happiness.

The three most important techniques of healing meditations:  Stillness -Samatha, Insight-Vippassana, Love -Metta, with a focus on Samatha practices for cultivating calmness, focus and relaxation.  Below are the topics that he teaches.

Cultivate Lasting Happiness

Understanding that it is possible and important to actively cultivate lasting happiness as part of our spiritual path, including practical ways to do this and self inquiry.

Awareness with Acceptance is Healing 

Realising the changing nature of the flow (anicca, dukkha, anatta), and how this allows deep acceptance of our experiences and our pains, and how this acceptance allows us to release and heal pains.

This is a deep Buddhist teaching and often triggers participants, so we often stop in the class and heal pains as they come up, in this way the experience allows deeper realization and acceptance of the flow, and hence deeper healing.

A Practical Tool for self healing through awareness with acceptance

A practical multi step meditation practice that can help heal any emotional pain both in dedicated practice sessions and as emotions arise in daily life. (This is a series of vedanaupassana practices combined with metta has been  found to be the most effective at helping beginners to release emotional pains).

Letting Go of Anger, Fear, Worry and Restlessness

Practical methods to respond to these emotions as they arise in daily life, such as awareness practices, reflections, metta, activities to return to the present. Etc. Based on the Buddhas teachings on the five hindrances

PRASHANT TEWATIA 

Prashant is a certified senior instructor with over 6000 + hours of teaching experience.  He specializes in therapeutic and alignment yoga.

Prashant was initiated into Yoga at an early age, watching his grandpa in a headstand every morning, being taught Hatha Yoga at high school in Delhi and finally getting it kick started to teach to his fellow University students in Ireland, Dublin. He had to go to west to realise his passion for Yoga and was sent back to India to continue learning and teaching.Twelve years later, he still finds himself hungry to share, learn and engage in the bliss of Yoga and other various somatic forms.
After returning to India, He trained under various schools/Ashrams like Sivananda, Vivkenanada, Art of Living but since last 7 years he had the privilege to learn under some of the most renowned senior Iyengar teachers in India like – Prashant Iyengar, Usha Devi, Dr. H.S Arun, Zubin Zarthoshtimanesh. Dr. Abhay Kesti. He also had an extensive training in internal practice of Qigong under the guidance of Mantak Chia in Thailand and Bruno Eap from Cambodia. 

He believes that every form of Yoga is interesting if you are interested enough. He is passionate about expanding his own skill set including martial arts like Qi Gung, and he think it´s vital that he personally try out and refine as many approaches as he can in an effort of making it easier for the others. Prashant cares about the placement of your collarbones, thighbones, and arches of your feet, but not for aesthetic reasons. “I’m a technique-oriented teacher—but not for technique’s sake,” he says. “The detail is there to help focus the mind, go inside, and have a rich, calming experience.” It was that calming effect that kept Prashant going during his early days of yoga practice.

Beneath the asana, his message to students is consistent: Focus on the process of self-discovery rather than the goal of perfecting poses. “I want my students to be really curious about who they are and to be accepting of whoever that may be on a particular day. I want them to see that everything inside and outside is incredibly mysterious. I want them to use the practice to just check in, see what’s unfolding, and learn to deal with it skillfully.  Prashant’s teaching practice has lead him all across Europe, as well as several remote and urban parts of India teaching and learning. He is currently based in Goa teaching regular classes, workshops and retreats for 6 months a year and rest of the time he spend travelling and teaching across Asia, Uk & Europe.  The exploration, via yoga, of the Zen, the Taoist and Tantric principles of self- observation, self-acceptance, and inner relaxation is the driving factor behind Prashant’s current teaching practice.

Vedic Astrology (called Jyotish or “The Science of Light“) comes to us from India and goes back over 5,000 years coming from the Vedas,  which are ancient scriptures that were brought to us by enlightened sages that come from a yogic perception of reality.  Ayurveda and Yoga also come from the Vedas. Jyotish assumes the law of karma, which is the principle of cause and effect, and can give a better view of a person’s karmic tendencies while defining a person’s psychological nature, putting focus and understanding on when certain events are likely to take place. In terms of analyzing relationship compatibility and auspicious timing of events, Anahata offers some of the most sophisticated yet ancient tools of predictions and analysis, putting emphasis on the spiritual development of the individual.
