Methods and Processes

We draw on wide range of techniques, from the modern to the ancient, in order to accomplish our goals and aims. Some of these are as follows:
Conscious breathing or Breath Work The use of conscious breathing is found in traditions in the East. We teach several forms of breathing, in order to reach specific transformative experiences. We also use many "Active Meditations", which have been developed by Osho. We teach some of the fundamental discoveries of C. G. Jung and some of his techniques for moving into the unconscious.

The workshops can range in time from one day up to several months. We have been conducting workshops in various cities of Malaysia, Australia, and in Hatyai, Thailand. We welcome invitations to come and work with groups of people who are seeking freedom and joy in their lives.


Chakra Breathing Meditation is an effective method for bringing awareness into the body. It is also used for cleaning, balancing, and harmonizing the Chakras. The experiences taking place during the meditation are used for a diagnosis of what issues need to be addressed during the workshop. It reveals health issues and related psychological problems, plus psychic and spiritual dimensions of consciousness.

Communication and Relationship issues between husband and wife, parents and children, colleagues and friends. Good communication is essential to fulfilling relationships in life. Also the ability to express love is part of good communication. When love is missing in the relationship, it is time to learn to communicate positively and creatively. Authentic communication leads to communion, a deep union of two souls.

Dance Meditation is a combination of dancing and sitting quietly. Many people fail in meditation because they have so much unexpressed physical energy that the mind cannot remain quiet and relaxed while sitting still. Dancing freely is an enjoyable way to release this unlived energy. It is also a way of "loosening up" the mind from its habitual, tense, doing mode.

Death and Dying: Death is a reality that we all face but few people speak about their approaching death openly. People who face their death realistically can die with dignity, a feeling of freedom, and even with joy. We teach people the connection between life and death. A “beautiful death” is a sure sign of a life that has been fully lived. All the “juice & joy” of life has been experienced and digested.


We support participants to explore their unconscious to discover any unresolved experiences around Loss and Grief. This usually leads into experiencing our hidden “death urge”, which needs to become conscious in order to live a full and successful life. Then we guide the group in “The Death Meditation”, taken from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, or a dance meditation called “Death Comes Dancing”. Our 3rd death meditation is taken from the Australian Aboribinal tradition, a sand burial near the ocean.

Dream Work. Dreams can be described as “the language of the soul”. Dreams have been used for healing and inner guidance by every culture in recorded history. We use insights from C. G. Jung, and other pioneers in the field of psychology, plus traditional cultures; and we have developed our own unique method of working with dreams experientially. Prema completed his 4 year training in dream analysis at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland and has worked with thousands of people’s dreams over the past 30 years.

Meditation. We teach meditation techniques from many different traditions and modern Masters. Through meditation we become our true, unique self, and we discover that “we are meditation”. We have always been one with the Divine, we have simply forgotten. For a more complete explanation and a list of some of our main meditations, click on the link.

Mother ~ Father Process: The person doing the process chooses other participants to represent their mother and father. The person then arranges the” parents” like statues, to symbolically express their relationship. Then the person is guided by the facilitator to regress back to early life when relationship patterns were being laid down by the parents. This process can be very powerful in revealing long hidden messages about the male and the female that create non-functional relationships in the present.

No Dimensions is a "Sufi style" meditation composed of specific movements and making a sound through the teeth. These movements lead into the meditation called Sufi Whirling, which is the main technique used by the Whirling Dervishes. Combined together, these two techniques have a powerful effect on the mind, leading into meditation. (click here for more info and video demo)

 


Pelvic Breathing is used for opening the first Chakra and freeing blocked sexual energy. It is a powerful tool for relaxation and many people with difficulties in sleeping have found it has helped them to sleep better at night. It has also helped cancer patients to reduce their pain, "Nature's Pain killer", which has allowed these people to also reduce or even eliminate their medication and increase their awareness and quality of life. It can also be used as a meditation technique and as a preparation for sexual expression with one’s partner.

Rebirthing can take the individual into some of the deepest realms of the unconscious, dissolving very fundamental conditioning and beliefs. Sometimes participants experience dramatic episodes of past lives.

Right Eating, Health & Fitness, Detoxification We work on the causes of addictions to unhealthy foods and show the link between past emotions and wrong eating.

We teach the basic principals of “right eating”, or eating according to the needs of the body, NOT THE MIND. We emphasize eating “live food”, that is, raw food that has not been processed in any way. The change from "ordinary eating" to a raw diet may take months or years to fully accomplish.

The mind cannot be peaceful and loving if the body is agitated by unhealthy food. The workshop includes a gall bladder and liver cleanse followed by one or more days of fasting.

We work with people suffering from serious health problems like cancer, heart disease, long term skin disturbances, poor digestion, and many others. Right eating is one of the key factors in healing ADD and autistic children

Running in the Park in the Dark is a method that opens the door wide to the unconscious. It is most powerful in revealing our hidden fear levels and helps dissolve this fear base. We are not 100% free in life until we are fearless.

Sand Burial is our most recent new technique which is a ritual used by some Australian Aboriginal groups. We have several death meditations that we use in our workshops, one from The Tibetan Book of the Dead, one called Death Comes Dancing, and the most powerful one, Sand Burial.

 


Sandplay Therapy is a method of communication with the unconscious and is effective with both children and adults. It was an ancient technique used by the American Indians and in Tibet, and has been adapted to modern psychology by Dora Kalff. Mrs. Kalff was a student of C. G. Jung and developed her own specialty.

Sand Play is a “projective technique” using several hundred small figures, like animals, houses, people, cars, etc. Each participant has a sand tray and chooses figures to create a “scene” in the sand tray. The person is then guided to experience what the images are expressing, leading to greater awareness of what was buried in the unconscious. Prema completed a two year training with Mrs. Kalff in Zurich, Switzerland, and has been using and teaching this method for over 25 years.


Tantra can be described as the full acceptance of pleasure as “a way” to reach the goal of self acceptance. We work with sexual energy to help couples and individuals heal their relationship problems. We teach that sex and intimacy are two sides of the same coin. The transformation of sexual energy leads to a union of the male and female within (called "the animus and anima" by C. G. Jung). The inner marriage gives rise to the pleasure of non-dependency, personal freedom, and everlasting love. Through Tantra we can experience sexual healing on all levels.

Tibetan 5 Rites (also called The Fountain of Youth): These Yoga type movements are usually done the first thing in the morning. Each one is repeated 21 times and they were developed in Tibet to balance and harmonize the energies of the seven Chakras. These movements can eventually lead to a powerful rejuvenation of the physical body if combined with “Right Eating” and done over a long period of time.

Two Cushion work is a development on C. G. Jung's method called "ACTIVE iMAGINATION". It is used to integrate unconscious aspects of yourself, resulting in a unified and balanced identity, leading towards Self Realization. Jung uses the term "SELF" to refer to the God-image at the core of our being. Prema graduated from the Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland and worked as a Jungian analyst for 7 years in Sydney Australia. He was also president of the Jung Society there for 3 years.

Vision Quest in the Forest. The aim of the Vision Quest is to bring people back to a loving connection with Mother Earth. It is a Native American Indian tradition of seeking the purpose of our life through water fasting and silence, or “inner listening”. It is common during this time to experience a profound relationship with animals and plants. Part of this initiation experience is a sand burial on the beach.

Water Fasting. Human beings seldom realize the healing power of fasting, but in nature this is the only thing that animals do when they are sick or injured. They stop eating and rest. The Golden Dawn is unique in combining physical detoxification & diet with psychological “Inner Work”. We have developed these two methods into one integrated program.

We have many other techniques and sometimes improvise and alter the techniques to fit the situation at the time.
