What is  Nia?

Nia is a glorious blend of dance, martial arts, and mindful, holistic movement that takes place within a standard sixty minute cardio workout.  Nia stands out from other workouts, however, because it is done barefoot to eclectic blends of sensational music with permission for participants to honor their body the entire time.  This means people are encouraged to feel pleasure instead of pain and move with both form and freedom.  The routines and moves have been choreographed by creators, Debbie Rosas & Carlos Rosas, to ensure the professionalism of the technique.  It is like absolutely nothing else, and it is best understood once experienced.  For more about Bonnie’s classes visit www.WorcesterMassNiaSMASH.com.  

 

What are Mandalas?

Mandala (Sanskrit "circle", "completion") is a term used to refer to various objects. It is of Hindu origin, but is also used in other Indian religions, such as Buddhism. In practice, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the Universe from the human perspective.

In various spiritual traditions, mandala may be employed for focusing attention and its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises." The psychoanalyst Carl Jung saw the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self," and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to work towards wholeness in personality.

Our mandala drawings will be created with paper and oil pastels.  No previous art experience is necessary. 

What is an Interactive Aura Image?

An Interactive Aura Image in an absolutely scientific and completely user-friendly and easy to understand process. We measure biofeedback data like electro-dermal activity and temperature from several points on the outer portion of the palm side of the left hand. Then we analyze this complex data with our software program that is based on our own empirical biofeedback/aura/chakra energy research and on standard biofeedback technology. We then present and display this measured information and data onscreen in many different ways, such as a representation of the client’s aura and chakras, biofeedback graphs and meters, etc. This process is completely scientific and empirically valid. The essential difference between our Aura Video Technology and standard biofeedback equipment is that we use colors, shapes and other multimedia tools to show and visualize the measured data and information.

Our technology goes beyond conventional science in that we correlate the measured biofeedback data to a client’s aura and chakras. Once we display colors as a representation of each client’s aura or energy field, we are opening into another dimension. The correlation of the biofeedback data with the specific aura-chakra states has been achieved by working with health practitioners, sensitive's who have empirically verified our personality profiles and our emotional-mental patterns with the measured data.
