At Lotus Oasis Retreats our intention is to help individuals reach their optimal level of wellbeing to lead a happier more joyful life. To obtain this optimal level of wellbeing, an individual must have a common measure, or symmetry, between themselves and the world around them. This symmetry, or harmonious arrangement, is accomplished by balancing consumption of experiences through the all six senses. Everything around us is an experience waiting to be absorbed through our six senses. Having too much, or too little, of an experience can cause an imbalance in our lives and, in turn, creating an over abundance of stress. This abundance of stress is the primary cause of emotional and physical health issues in our world today.
|
|
Through various mind-body and spirit retreats, workshops and classes we intend to support individuals to identify their imbalance... to empower them to create healthy and happy life choices... to encourage them to seek balance in everyday life... to identify the mutual connections they have between themselves and the world around them to create long lasting and loving relationships. We know by supporting individuals to embrace their optimal level of wellbeing we in turn encourage our own optimal level of wellbeing. |

~ Primordial Sound Meditation ~
Primordial Sound Meditation is a healing practice that allows us to experience inner calm and deep relaxation. For thousands of years, people have used meditation to move beyond the mind's busy activity and emotional turbulence into profound peace and expanded awareness.
In the 21st century, the restful awareness we experience during meditation is more valuable than ever. The pace of life has accelerated, and every day we are bombarded with more information and stimulation than our ancestors encountered during entire lifetimes. Not surprisingly, the number of people suffering from stress, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic health problems is on the rise - and many are searching for peace of mind.

~ Qigong ~
Qigong (pronounced "chee-gung," also spelled chi kung) is translated from the Chinese to mean "energy cultivation" or "working with the life energy." Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of postures, exercises, breathing techniques, and meditations. Its techniques are designed to improve and enhance the body's qi. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, qi is the fundamental life energy responsible for health and vitality.
Qi, or chi, is the fundamental life energy of the universe. It is invisible but present in air, water, food and sunlight. In the body, qi is the unseen vital force that sustains life. We are all born with inherited amounts of qi, and we also get acquired qi from the food we eat and the air we breathe. In qigong, the breath is believed to account for the largest quantity of acquired qi, because the body uses air more than any other substance. The balance of our physical, mental, and emotional levels also affect qi levels in the body.
There are basic components of internal qigong sessions. All sessions require warm-up and concluding exercises. Qigong consists of postures, movements, breathing techniques, and mental exercises. Postures may involve standing, sitting, or lying down. Movements include stretches, slow motions, quick thrusts, jumping, and bending. Postures and movements are designed to strengthen, stretch, and tone the body to improve the flow of energy. One sequence of postures and movements is known as the "Eight Figures for Every Day." This sequence is designed to quickly and effectively work the entire body

~ Breath Meditation ~
Lotus Oasis Retreats offers these unique classes using a breath meditation technique called, "The Nine Breath Method". This type of Breath meditation is perhaps the most beneficial to the mind, because when you deal with the breath, you are dealing not only with the incoming and outgoing air of the lungs, you are also dealing with the feelings of energy that surge throughout your body with each breath. You will learn how to sensitize yourself to your feelings, and allow them to flow unimpeded and effortlessly, you will be able to function better, and give your mind a handle to deal with all sorts of trials and tribulations.
The goal of this meditation is to strengthen mind concentration, ground oneself, and stimulate compassion. To awaken oneself one's true nature is to become fully conscious and to develop the intellect.
Although breath meditation is sometimes just a preliminary stage of meditation, it is still very powerful. From this practice you will come to experience inner peace and contentment just by controlling your mind. Best part is that it is done without having to depend upon external conditions at all.
When the incessant flow of your distracting thoughts is calmed through breath meditation, your mind will become extraordinarily calm and clear. As you continue practising patiently this way, gradually your thought flow will subside and you will begin to experience a sense of inner peace and relaxation. Your mind will become clearer and more spacious and you will feel more and more refreshed.

~Mystic at Heart ~
~ Feel the Wholeness in Your Life ~
Mystic at Heart is a signature retreat that allows you to find a harmonious balance between the poles of duality within human nature. It will give you an understanding of how the "Law of Duality" is affecting your life, mentally, physically and spiritually. As individuals, we personally experience the effects of the Law of Duality on a daily basis, it's part of creation. We know that matter itself is condensed and compressed universal energy in spiritual alchemy, this energy is generally termed "primordial matter." Science calls it "chaos," and sees it as a formless substance that permeates creation in its entirety.
The techniques that you will learn through this retreat will encourage you to conciously move through the poles of duality, without fear. As your learn to move fowards passing through an from these poles, your will have a deeper understanding of how duality can make your connection to "Wholeness" or "Oneness" stronger. This understanding will give you the ability to see the law of duality work in your life and enable you to become a concious choice maker. Becoming a concious choice maker will give you the ability to have a symmetry in your life even though things change all around you.
