Why this retreat Is Beneficial
Mind
Letting go of old mental habits is often more difficult than cleaning out the closet. We get attached to emotions even when they are painful. Holding on to things is like holding your breath, it becomes uncomfortable. We have to learn to let go, making space for the opportunities the next breath will bring.
It’s been said that it’s hard to be happy if you refuse to throw away the things that make you sad, but how much of the time do we get stuck in the past, reliving the same old miseries?
“Progress and growth are impossible if you always do things the way you’ve always done them”. - Wayne Dyer
Body
The physical includes both the inner and outer. Keeping the body healthy and vital is important for everyday activities but, remember it is also the vehicle that carries us on our spiritual journey. This program guides and supports you in flushing out of the toxins and imbalances accumulated over time.
Indulge yourself in the rejuvenating therapies created for cleansing your body so that your ready to fully enjoy the season ahead. This full-body reset helps boost energy, improve mental clarity, reduce hunger and cravings, minimize aches and pain, rebalance hormones, restore sleep cycles, support digestion and strengthen the immune system.
Soul
Our spiritual journey is one of cleansing the individual soul or Jiva. This is the aspect of the soul that carries our karma, manifesting as memories and desires. This doesn’t mean we should eliminate all memories and desires but that they should align and support our true purpose.
Unfortunately, most of us have allowed our true identity to be covered over and forgotten. Our spiritual journey is to remove layers revealing the magnificent Being inside.
Whatever we do, we must do it with awareness. We must be conscious of our choices, our actions, and our words. When we live our lives with awareness, we live in the present moment. We connect with our truth, our essence, our light within.
