Traditional Tibetan Medicine for Meditators

Join us for Traditional Tibetan Medicine for Meditators, a transformative healing workshop taking place Thursday, December 10, 2026, at the serene Menla Retreat and Dewa Spa in Phoenicia, NY. This intimate gathering brings together the wisdom of Tibetan healing practices with meditation techniques specifically designed for spiritual practitioners. Whether you're deepening an existing meditation practice or exploring how ancient healing traditions can enhance your wellness journey, this healing workshop event in Phoenicia offers a unique bridge between Eastern medicine and contemporary mindfulness.

Led by Jai Dev Singh, a Kundalini Yoga and mantra teacher rooted in Yogi Bhajan's lineage, this event creates a sacred space where traditional Tibetan medicine principles meet transformative spiritual practice. Jai Dev Singh brings over two decades of experience in dynamic Kundalini classes, sacred chanting, and mantra recordi­ng—all grounded in authentic lineage teachings. His approach honors both the energetic body recognized in yoga philosophy and the sophisticated diagnostic systems of Tibetan medicine, creating a holistic experience that speaks to body, mind, and spirit.

This healing workshop isn't just an informational seminar—it's an experiential journey designed to help meditators understand their constitution, balance their energy systems, and deepen their spiritual practice through embodied wisdom. In today's wellness landscape, many seekers recognize that meditation alone sometimes leaves questions about physical health and energetic imbalances unanswered. This event fills that gap by introducing Tibetan medicine's elegant framework for understanding individual differences and offering practical, meditation-compatible practices for greater wholeness.

What to Expect

As you arrive at Menla's tranquil grounds nestled in the Catskills, you'll transition from the outside world into a carefully curated healing environment. The day unfolds with grounding practices, guided meditations, and teachings from Jai Dev Singh that illuminate how Tibetan medicine views the meditator's journey. You'll move through sessions that blend theoretical understanding with somatic experience—expect moments of stillness, sacred chanting, and practical guidance on aligning your practice with your individual constitution.

The workshop progresses through several experiential sections. Early sessions establish foundational concepts from Tibetan medicine: the three doshas (wind, bile, and phlegm), how they manifest in meditation practitioners, and why understanding your type deepens your practice. Mid-day, Jai Dev Singh leads mantra sessions and Kundalini exercises specifically chosen to balance common imbalances that meditators encounter. These aren't passive lectures—you'll be invited to move, chant, and feel the direct effects of these ancient practices.

By the workshop's close, you'll have practical tools to take home: knowledge of your Tibetan medicine constitution, specific mantras or Kundalini sequences tailored to your needs, and a deeper understanding of how to support your meditation practice through lifestyle choices rooted in traditional wisdom. Leave with a journal full of insights and a renewed sense of connection between your spiritual path and your whole-being health.
