Program
Santhika Retreat Center designed this package for those who would like to experience the maximum in a short time:
- Yoga and meditation
- Self-awareness
- Healing
- Spa services
- Traveling
Most of the time you live your life automatically: going through the same activities every day, every week, every year. Within this routine, you cannot see new opportunities or new ways of life, and thus you remain stuck. Your body tries to renew all of your cells every hour. When your energy starts flowing slower, the process of renewal and rejuvenation becomes slower as well. The same happens with your mind: when there are too many thoughts and worries, you are unable to seek new ways of thinking. Your body and your mind need to be refreshed, reloaded, and healed.
Yoga and meditation
The program includes a combination of active yoga and meditation. Morning sessions are based on Hatha and Restorative yoga and focus on physical body awareness and acceptance. Evening classes offer more meditation techniques and have the purpose of emotional cleansing, calming down your mind, and developing virtues and skills.
Hatha yoga
Many popular modern yoga styles came from classic Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga means balance between Sun (Ha) and Moon (Tha) energies, which gives it the power to transform you into a more balanced and strengthened being. Hatha yoga is an ideal starting place for people who are new to yoga. One of the more challenging aspects of a yoga practice is combining movements with breathing control, or pranayama. Hatha yoga works on increasing flexibility and strength, improving breathing, and calming down the mind. Hatha yoga purifies the body in preparation for meditation.
Healing Balinese yoga
Discover your inner self through ancient Balinese healing yoga Markandeya! A combination of movements, static positions, breathing, and meditations will bring you to another level of awareness about all the blocks in your physical body. Your body keeps the memory about your life experiences, emotions of the past, traumas, and self-disconnection. Yoga and meditation are the best ways to work on it and release whatever limits you. Practicing kriyas and meditations is a challenging experience. You always choose how deep you want to delve in.
During the practice, you can experience a lot of resistance and tension, but passing through it will bring you to the inner world where you will meet with your soul, find answers to your questions, and discover your original personality. You will start feeling how your energy is moving, and you will understand that you are more than just a physical body. Attending meditation classes at our Retreat will give you a deep spiritual experience you have never received.
Restorative yoga
Experience the ultimate in restorative bliss with our signature Restorative Universal Yoga sessions. Combining the transformative elements of somatic yoga, hatha, yin, and myofascial release, our practice offers a holistic approach to releasing tension from the soft tissues, enhancing flexibility, and promoting deep healing. With mindful self-connection to the body, you'll experience a profound sense of restoration, allowing you to fully embrace the restorative journey.
Ancient sound healing
The most beautiful and relaxing experience is waiting for you in a sound healing session. Sound healing is a powerful way to reduce stress and calm the mind, allowing you to sink into deep states of relaxation. The usage of different ancient instruments will trigger different emotions inside you. It will be a personal journey, giving you awareness of your inner state and releasing deep subconscious blocks. The practice of sound healing uses sound waves and harmonic vibrations that affect the body through different tones and instruments, including the human voice.
These specific sounds help to harmonize your brainwaves through a technique called Entrainment. Entrainment stabilizes fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency with which the brain can synchronize. By using rhythm and frequency, you can entrain your brainwaves and facilitate a shift from your normal brain state to relaxed levels of consciousness, which is where deep healing occurs. You typically operate in beta brain states and sound healing can move us into theta and delta brain states. These brain states are associated with the unconscious, deep relaxation, and connection to the universe.
Self-awareness game
You all are playing the game of life. You are wearing different masks and show a wide range of emotions. Who is the original you? What is serving you and what is draining your energy? All answers are inside you, you just need to become aware of your own wisdom.
%Self-awareness Games have been used for many centuries for clearing up negative mental tendencies and developing a higher conscience. Playing this game opens the awareness of the mind patterns and as a result, can change your life and destiny. It is not a simple game, but a transformative psychological and spiritual practice.
In a few hours of play, you may learn more than you would during years of spiritual or psychological practices. You will find out where and how you are limiting yourself, you will expand your perception, and your consciousness, and discover and eliminate stereotypes, thinking patterns, and subconscious programs that constrain you.
During this game you will develop a deeper understanding of:
- What is going on in my life "here and now"?
- Where and why am I stuck?
- What obstacles are preventing me from achieving my goals?
- How do I achieve more clarity, awareness, and harmony?
- What and how should I change?
- Who drains my energy in the journey of life?
- Where can I find the strength to accumulate energy to achieve my goals?
