The Art of Happiness - Retreat Book. Importance of taking time off - Mindfulness Meditation. When I was living in Europe, five years ago, I would take time off by taking my dog every weekend to the nearby hills to walk on trekking trails with my friends for hours. Walking outdoors reduces stress and tension In the past three years after moving to Bali, hiking in the jungle being a bit less, I switched to walking along the ocean. Walking outdoors rejuvenates both body and spirit, whether it is a long hike in the wilderness or walking in the park or green areas in the city. Walking outdoors is proven to reduce the level of cortisol (stress) hormones, tension and brings feeling of calm and relaxation. It is said to improve mental acuity and cause prolonged periods of attention at ADHD children.

When we are feeling cranky and tired, our body is telling us it’s a sign to take the time off. Each one of us is responsible for our own happiness Nurturing a relationship with self is essential for loving oneself, respecting one self and being authentic in relationship with others. 1. 2. 3.

How to Balance Your Chakras with Sound. How Does Sound Healing Work AwaHoshi Playing the Quartz Crucibles to produce Pure Tone Octave Few weeks ago i have attended the annual Bali Spirit Festival for the second time in my life and it was a blast!

Very high energy, unconventional yoga sessions, breath work, lectures, good healthy food…All so yummi, equally so for your soul and for your body. And the first time i have experienced a sound healing session with crystal bowls, conducted by wonderful AwaHoshi Kavan from United States, sound healer with more than two and a half decades of sound healing experience. We were lying down, head facing the north, legs facing the south, comfortably stretched on the floor. Our Bodies are Electromagnetic The sound of the crystals is here to amplify our bio-crystalline being and amplify our true vibration which is happiness and health. Each bowl is a different size and resonates to a different pure tone. Easy Meditation in Few Steps What sensations did you notice? Root chakra – Muladhara – TONE C. Meditate easier with binaural beats. I’ve been meditating for years and it has always been a pleasant experience. My busy mind would calm down, thoughts would come and go and I’d always feel peaceful after meditation.

But sometimes it was hard to concentrate, or should I say – let go and just be. So I found something that could help – binaural beats. What are binaural beats? To put it simply they are frequencies that function in a way that one frequency goes in one ear, and another in the other ear, so you have to use stereo headphones to experience the effect they have on the brainwaves. For example, if one frequency is 350Hz and the other is 360Hz the binaural beat would be 10Hz, which would put your brain in the Alpha state of mind, a state of nice relaxation.

What is it good for? My experience with this was absolutely amazing! Apart from putting our brain in deep relaxation, you can choose different frequencies for different states of mind. Synchronise your brain! How to be happy? How to be happy? My reading of the book Dalai Lama: The Art of Happiness What is happiness? In our Central European culture, luck is something elusive, ephemeral, beyond the range of our influence. Happiness is when we are feeling joyous or when things in life are going the way we want them to. In general notion of happiness that pervades our society is quite a passive state, something that we can not influence, something that our fate either assigned to us or not. Dalai Lama in his book The Art of Happiness teaches practical activities to reach happiness. Are we happier if we are creative, flexible? To me, creativity is very important part of everyday life. So instead of comparing ourselves and complaining in our internal dialogue how others have it all much easier in life, have more money than us, a better car or a better relationship, we can cultivate gratitude for the abundance of things we have in our lives.

The secret is in the attitude. Happiness is different then pleasure. Yoga Surf Retreat Bali. This surf and yoga retreat is not about filling you up with new ideas, it’s about making a space for you to be still, to tune into your own Guidance, to relax and be yourself, to discover what matters to you. You and the other participants fill in the space, that’s actually how magic happens. The Self Reflection and Writing Workbook On the Bali Yoga and Surf Retreats Rick uses the technique of self-reflection and writing The Purpose~Presence~Dreams Workbook. The heart and soul of these retreats is The Purpose~Presence~Dreams Workbook: a series of writing exercises, discussions and meditations.

It is inspired by Ricks experience with surviving cancer, and refined over 21 SURF LIFE Retreats he conducted in Bali and Australia. The group spends an hour every day at the table overlooking the ocean… We light some incense, put on some good chilled out music, and ask some simple but powerful questions. Taking in the Natural Beauty of the Island and the Ocean Daily Yoga Practice. What Is A Retreat?
