Overview

Have you ever noticed so-called ‘perfectly healthy’ or ‘highly successful’ people often suffer from ailments like chronic pain, fatigue, and depression? Have you noticed the never-ending array of fad diets, hardcore, high-intensity exercise regimes, supplements, and massages? Yet despite all of this ‘assistance’, things are still not quite right’.

The truth is, it’s all about ‘Chi’ - life force and energy, and how these things are in the flow and balanced. Chi provides energy or power, similar to a fresh breath of air, which is considered as life in all living things. Chi is the main reason for the existence of human life and a proponent that dictates the quality of health of the human body. Your Chi lifelong energy field is the essence of your consciousness and the barometer for your life flow. Are you in the natural, easy flow of life? When your energy field is derailed, disrupted, destroyed, or simply deleted, the blockage of flow manifests as an emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual symptom. If left unchecked the energetic imbalance can eventually lead to financial distress, career and relationship breakdowns, mental ill-health, or chronic illness. All our energy issues manifest in our bodies and mind in some way.

When the frequencies of our energy field are functioning at the optimal level of flow and balance, we experience exquisite alignment in life and vibrant health on all levels. When all ’5 Essences of Being’ are in flow and balance, the feeling of a powerful, invisible force surrounds you, holds you, and guides you through life. History has many examples where the flow and balance of energy fields have been acknowledged and practiced - meridians, chakras, and chi or prana. Ask yourself:

• Am I struggling with unanswered questions and unresolved wellness issues?
• Is something holding me back from living my life to the fullest?
• Do I have unsettled emotions and feelings of unease? Do I feel ‘emptiness’ despite living a so-called ‘good life’?
• Am I feeling out of balance, or not quite right?
• Do I feel abandoned, lonely, or hopeless?
• Am I struggling with anxiety and stress?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, flow is the key to progress. For flow to occur you must identify your ‘Essences of Being’ and where you’re out of balance or misaligned. The Mindfulness-Based Stillness Meditation Retreat is a sacred, three day, small group retreat focused on helping you to achieve flow and balance, so you can:

• Find your unique stillness point
• Accept what is present in the moment
• Stand in your true presence and calm
• Discover your openness to living in the flow of life

The retreat

For you to feel empowered to take control of your life in all aspects, we’ll embark on a journey to awaken your own 'inner healer’. During your sacred retreat, we will investigate and identify why and what you’re struggling with, find out what’s holding you back, finding the root cause, not just identifying the symptoms. You will also identify your hopes and desires for your future. You will dispel the myths and underlying beliefs of your individual challenges so you can achieve the body, mind, and spiritual balance. The journey to the harmonious flow of Chi energy is unique for each person and involves:
