MORE DETAILS
about the retreat
Many people ask about finding their purpose in life, but rarely they make a connection between life purpose and awakening their spiritual energy. The purpose of life is the evolution of humanity through the awakening of our spiritual energy or consciousness, also called Brahma-Shakti in eastern teachings.
We all have this spiritual energy within us, but we have lost it or forgot about it due to social conditioning and life's stressors and challenges. This spiritual energy is the essence of everything, the cosmic energy which is the originating power that holds everything together and unifies every human being and species in the universe.

HOW DO WE HEAL?
If we don't feel our emotions, we are likely to get disease. Emotions are energy, they are part of the subtle body as it is called in yoga teachings. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed-- converted from one form of energy to another. In other words, energy has to go somewhere. Because emotions are energy, they also create pressure. When there's pressure, we need a pressure valve to let the pressure out. The science of yoga discovered several techniques to let this pressure out and prevent, and even avoid, physical and mental illness.
Our energy comes in large part from our feelings. Our feelings come from our beliefs. If we don't understand the impact that our beliefs and conditioning have in our life, we cannot raise our energy frequency nor our consciousness. To raise our energy frequency we have to heal. We heal gradually by acquiring the right knowledge, by engaging in introspection and self-reflection, by gaining insight, and by experiencing catharsis. Each level of healing is like peeling an onion-- we start with the outermost layer and slowly make our way in until we find our true Self again. This gradual healing raises our energy and our consciousness. Authentic fulfillment, joy, and peace are the highest levels of energy frequency.
