Leela Therapy
Leela Therapy is a transformative approach focused on healing & self-inquiry. Through therapeutic techniques & self-examination support, it fosters profound personal growth & realization.​
​
Who can it benefit?
​
Leela Therapy is suitable for anyone seeking a happier, more fulfilling life.
​
It supports individuals ready to address personal suffering, aiding with challenges like anxiety, depression, phobias, PTSD, negative behavioural patterns, sense of dissatisfaction or relationship difficulties.
​
Additionally, it supports those on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, providing a supportive push toward deeper understanding & fulfilment.
​
What can I expect?
​
A Leela Therapist meets clients from a stance of a True Friend – a quiet mind, open heart & not taking anything personally.
​
From this ground of being a client is guided, through therapeutic use of NLP & rapport, to uncover their present condition (expanded understanding of presented issue) & desired condition (deep essential desire/natural aspects of self).

​
The journey of discovery continues to an intervention stage, with optional assistance of hypnotherapeutic trance.
​
It works on the following levels:
​
• Symptom removal (negative behaviours, thoughts & feelings)
​
• Emotional healing for ego strengthening (working with ego’s inherent lack of self-worth)
​​
• Self-inquiry & insight facilitation for ego transcendence (deepening self-realization)
​​
Insights into the structure of our ego can be aided using the ancient teaching of Enneagram of Liberation, to discover where one is identifying as self, and understand deeper causes of personal suffering.

Mindfulness
'Mindfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally to things as they are." (Jon Kabat-Zinn)​
​
Mindfulness is a simple, yet powerful practice of training our attention to the present moment - and of noticing whatever arises with gentle curiosity. It is a critical foundation for looking within (at our thoughts, feelings & body sensations) through a clear, nurturing lens.
​​​​
​Mindfulness helps us to see our own nature - our patterns of thinking, feeling & behaving. Through practice we become more aware of the ways in which our habitual reactions can add to the stress of our everyday life. We can gain profound insight & a deep awareness which enables us to choose how we respond to whatever occurs in our life.
​​
How can I learn mindfulness?
​​​
Inner Sight is one of the few places in India to offer the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course in-person. The MBSR course is considered the gold standard in mindfulness meditation courses globally, with a growing body of research supporting its wide-ranging health & wellbeing benefits.
​
We offer the MBSR course in a variety of formats - over 1 week (with daily sessions), over 8 weeks (with weekly sessions), or on-line for individuals or pairs - with a schedule that suits you.
​​​​
MBSR was developed in the 1970s to help people find ways to navigate life's challenges with greater ease & resilience. It blends traditional mindfulness practices with neuroscience research to provide practical skills and tools to work with stress, physical pain, difficult emotions & thoughts in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming.​​​
​​​​​​
MBSR course participants can learn to mobilize their deep inner resources to facilitate learning, growth, healing, enhance self-care, & make positive shifts in attitudes, behaviours, & relationships. It provides tools to see within with care & curiosity. This journey of self-discovery is perfect for both beginners & experienced meditators & can also support those interested in bringing mindfulness into their professional work.
​
For more information on the MBSR course you can see the descriptions for the 1 week & 8 week courses - or watch the video below.​
​
​​​​​​​​​​​
​​For those who have completed the MBSR course we offer 'Beyond MBSR.' This 5 session course provides a chance to dive deeper into the practices as well as key concepts such as curiosity, acceptance & how to soften our inner knots.
​
Individual & small group mindfulness sessions

Workshops & Retreats
We offer a range of workshops & retreats.
Our most regular offerings - the Half-day Mindfulness Kindfulness retreat & the Miksang Mindful Photography workshop are described below.
​
Half-day Mindfulness Kindfulness retreat
​
These mini-retreats offer a chance to unplug from the busyness of the world. They carefully weave together mindfulness & kindfulness practices, creating a tender pathway to self-compassion & heart connection. They provide an opportunity to deepen into presence & gently loosen the inner knots - the places we are stuck in our lives.
Everyone is welcome - meditation beginners & those looking to deepen or reconnect with their practice.
​
Miksang Mindful Photography Workshops​
​
Miksang means 'Good Eye' in Tibetan. It is a form of contemplative, mindful photography based on Chogyam Trungpa's Dharma Arts.
​
Miksang is not about technique, but on finding a new way of seeing. It is about discovering moments of freshness, of direct perception where the world stops us & wakes us up to something deep & true. It helps us to open to the present moment, meeting the world just as it is & letting it's ordinary magic erupt in front of you.
These workshops offer a space to discover & explore miksang approach. They are not a formal miksang training. Everyone is welcome - no prior experience of anything is needed, just something to take a picture with.
