Bring in the New year differently this year!
Deeply Connect to the Relaxed Prescence of your Authentic Self and Bring Inner Calmness into Your Daily Life
The human body was never designed to cope with the high-pressure demands of life in the 21st century and as a result our life-fulfillment has become compromised by the constant tension we are under. When this tension is unabated it can have serious consequences'.
It is estimated that 80% of the degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and others that doctors treat are stress-related. It is also a contributing factor to depression, addiction, anxiety, low job performance, and marital problems.
In this 2-day retreat you will experience how the “deep rest” that meditation gives is a antidote to this constant stress. You will understand how stress manifests in the body and learn how to access at will, the “relaxation response” like a “re-set button” that re-establishes the equilibrium of physical relaxation, emotional calm, and mental alertness.
You will learn the basic essential techniques of meditation distilled from ancient practices and placed in a western context without the dogma or jargon of religious belief.
Unlike some methods, that instruct you to disassociate from the mind with negative consequences, you will learn a body-centered strategy of integrating and clearing persistent thought and emotions.
By the end of the retreat you will have acquired a daily practice of meditation that will free you from the constant disabling chatter of the mind and help you access inner serenity, happiness and joy.
"Meditation frees individuals from the tenacious preoccupation with the past and future and allows them to fully experience life's precious moments" Daeja Napier, founder of the Insight Meditation Center, Boston
You will also have a crucial practice to enhance, expand and integrate any Awakening experience into your life so that it is not lost in the external activity of daily living.
On this 2 day retreat you will learn:
- How to elicit the “relaxation response” at will
- The three basic techniques of meditation: concentration, mindfulness and contemplation and their most effective applications
- Effective tension-relieving stretching exercises that will give you in only 10 minutes, the physical results of 40 minutes of meditation
