“Intuition is having the right thought at the right time.” —Gurudev
Designed by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the Intuition Process (IP) helps children access their natural intuitive abilities through a unique blend of breathwork, meditation, and subtle awareness techniques—giving them tools to navigate life with greater clarity, focus, and confidence.
While graduates of IP Level 1 may have already observed how intuition works in everyday life, in IP Level 2, they learn and practice advanced intuitive abilities. With consistent practice, they’ll develop foresight, make predictions, and practice telekinesis. This course offers an opportunity to deepen and strengthen intuitive abilities, which depend on regular practice of both Sudarshan Kriya and the Intuition Process.
Prerequisites
The Angels course helps your child leap forward into life with confidence, strength, and courage. Through stories, games, crafts, and play the children are introduced to the idea that they are unique, beautiful, and special. The Angels course gives your child the foundation they need to grow and flourish in life.
Observed on the Ashadha Full Moon, Guru Purnima is a sacred time to reflect, renew one’s spiritual commitment, and honor the lineage of spiritual masters. It symbolizes gratitude, wisdom, and the deepening of awareness on the spiritual path.
