Connecting in Authenticity, Honouring our Truth
This will be a six week programme sharing a series of reflections, insights and practices to help all of you connect and align to your own personal journey and where you feel you are at with that. It is my hope that from this work you will then go on to develop more skilfully and appropriately your practices in alignment with your genuine aspirations and where you are personally at in your lives and on your path.
From there we can help steer you towards a programme of learning and practice that is most suitable for you. I realise that much of what I teach is advanced work while many of you may need support and steerage in the beginning and intermediate areas of the path. It is important to do the practices that are most suitable to supporting your continued progress and well-being.
This series of lessons and reflections is open to any and everyone regardless if you would continue with your own journey afterwards, or choose to continue to practice with AOM in a structured way this coming year.
Spiritual Self-Care Weekend Retreat Content
Energetic self-care is fundamental to success in meditation and all of our spiritual practice. perhaps even more importantly, the state of our subtle energetic makeup absolutely determines the quality of our experience in daily life. It’s all too easy to only see things such as stress, anxiety and insomnia as psychological problems. But a large part of these conditions are a reflection of the fact that we are poorly organised energetically.
This weekend retreat is designed to supplement your meditation practice, to give you the tools to regulate and self-manage the health of your subtle energy body.
We will take a look at the principles of managing our vital energy and how it reflects and affects the state of our sense of well being - physical mental and emotional.
- Opening up the breathing apparatus and diaphragm in preparation for breath work
- Tuning into the subtle energy body and unblocking the chakras
- Regulating the vagus nerve and the autonomic nervous system
- Bringing the energy down into Dan Tien
- Energetic self-care as the bedrock of spiritual practice
- Establishing the appropriate mindset and attitude towards spiritual practice within the context of daily life
