Siddha Healing & Meditation virtual shivir was held at Shri Dwarkamai Shirdi Sai Temple on April 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2016. This virtual shivir was guided by Pujya Avdhoot baba Shivanand ji through audio visual medium. The Healing and Meditation shivir was very well attended by people from many different states.  New and seasoned sadhaks came from New England states as well as New York, New Jersey, Alabama and Texas.

The shivir started with an introduction to Shiv Yog healing program that was open to all. In this program, attendees learnt about Shiv Yog Foundation and how practicing Shiv Yog teachings have brought positive transformation in their life. Pujya Babaji explained the purpose of our birth, how to experience the state of sat-chit-anand (divine blissful state). Babaji said that divinity is within each and every one of us and we are all capable of healing any disease within our body. He shared with all the root causes of various diseases and how to heal them through Shiv Yog sadhna. At the end of the program, he guided the audience into a beautiful healing meditation. 

During the shivir on April 2nd and 3rd, Pujya Babaji explained in detail about chakras (energy centers), nadis (energy channels) and how the blockages in these chakras affect organs, causing various diseases. He explained many factors that affect the quality of life and health as well as taught sukshma (subtle) and pran (breathing) kriyas (actions) meant to increase life force energy in a person. He initiated sadhaks by giving them divine Maha Mritunjay Beej mantra deeksha and teaching Shiv Yog healing methods through meditation. 

In this virtual shivir many sadhaks reported feeling strong presence of Babaji and the Shakti that flowed through them, healing and blessing them. Many sadhaks reported experiencing strong vibrations and energy flowing through them for the very first time in their life. At the end of the shivir, one could sense the feeling of positivity and gratitude that was pouring from everyone’s heart.

Babaji also explained why he created forums worldwide to help Shiv Yog sadhaks to continue to receive “mini-shivir like experience” from Avdhoot Baba Shivanandji on a  weekly basis. There are two forums (more will be opened soon) in Boston area. One is in Shrewsbury, MA and second one in Nashua, NH. Each week, sadhaks receive a specially designed program from the ashram that includes spiritual discourse, guided exercises and meditations.
