Fire represents transformation and by attending an Agni Hotra fire ceremony, guests can offer up negative thoughts and unwanted emotions into the fire to be purified or transformed into positive energy. The ritual itself is a powerful experience and is known to help let go of unwanted aspects of life and allow the space to manifest new intentions. Spiritual retreats like these are an opportunity to open your mind to new experiences and witness Asian healing first hand.

Water represents the flow of energy (known as prana or chi), connecting our emotions and intuition. The flow of water guides daily life in Bali. According to Balinese believes, that water is one of the key forces of life. Balinese Hindus participate in water blessings regularly (Melukat), a spiritual cleansing ritual aimed to achieve self-purification of both the body and soul. Known for their capacity to cleanse and heal the body, water blessing rituals are used to treat a number of different ailments: physical, emotional and spiritual. A water temple is built over a sacred spring. These are dotted across the island and widely revered by the Balinese for their extraordinary therapeutic qualities. Melukat is conducted by a Balinese priest and involves chanting, offerings, meditation, prayer, and a ritualistic bath in the holy spring water, known as “Tirta”. We are about to experience an authentic and intimate ceremony in a holy local temple, unlike the generic, tourist attractions that you sometimes come across.

Sound Therapy has been known to help treat such conditions as stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, sleep disorders and pain. It is effective in not only achieving a state of relaxation but also as a way of moving through blockages in the body. It is a healing modality that dates way back, from vocal chanting to instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, shamanic drums, and more, you will find some form of sound healing in every culture on Earth, but in Bali in particular, priests are doing Sound Healing very often to keep the ancient healing way alive. During the ceremony, some people experience deep healing as the sound vibrations open, clear, and balance their chakras and release stuck energy. Like with most alternative healing modalities and meditative practices, everyone's experience is different, and new things may come up in each session. Most people will feel very relaxed and peaceful during a sound healing; some might have visualizations, receive creative downloads, or have an emotional breakthrough. Others may go to a mental state in which you are not quite awake and not quite asleep. It often feels like you're floating peacefully through time and space. Each experience is unique.

The power of prayer and meditation can transform your reality. When you chose to engage in prayer or meditation, you can go away from worries or stress and get more closer to God and to your Authentic Self. Also, prayer and meditation are highly effective in lowering our reactivity to traumatic and negative events. One of the aims of prayer and meditation is to discover who you are and recover your origin so that you can live life as it is meant to, up to its full potential. Through prayer and meditation, people reconnect, recharge, solve past issues and traumas and get the necessary strength to take measurements that bring a real change. In other words, prayer and meditation are the fuel that ignite the fire of gesture and action in our lifes. 

The subconscious mind is a powerful tool that when used supportively, can help us achieve our goals. It takes up most of our brain power, and is more intelligent, powerful and influential than the conscious mind. The subconscious mind is believed to be the hidden part of the brain that controls and influences our days; in fact, research shows that 95% of our daily behaviors and thoughts are driven by our subconscious mind. Only 5% actually comes from our conscious mind. The subconscious mind is essentially a memory bank of every piece of information that you ever came across and any events you have experienced. It is also our built-in warning system! Are you starting to see its massive importance in our lives?  Here are some techniques we use during the Retreat to reach our subconscious mind and heal what's necessary:
