A GREAT SPIRITUAL HOLIDAY IN COSTA DORADA – CAMBRILS – SPAIN

MAY 12TH TO MAY 19TH 2017

In the Mediterranean Coast (Costa Dorada) just south Barcelona in a 4 star hotel 100 mts from the beach we celebrate a spiritual retreat dedicated to meditation and the teachings and techniques that Gururaj Ananda Yogi taught to the world.

A retreat valid to both beginners and experienced meditators, the first two days of the retreat are dedicated to teach the various meditation and mindfulness techniques that will be practiced during the retreat. The instruction is based on how to meditate effortlessly. Several tecniques are learned, amongst them:

Anapana (Vipassana) Meditation,
Mantra Meditation for beginners,
A Visual Meditation (Tratak) practice which develops the power of concentration and deepens ability to focus and have greater awareness in daily life. With greater awareness in daily life we experience the true value within ourselves.
Pranayama (breathing practice) which detoxifies the body, attunes oneself to a higher rhythm, and captures the vital force within to gain needed energy. 3)
A Shakti Meditation practice to connect with the universal principle of grace. Shakti is that universal force pervading everything in the universe. (Loving-Kindness Meditation)
