This recent global lockdown due pandemic alert of Covid19 has been an intense reminder about how important it is more than ever to care for our vitality and strength through intense times of change we have to navigate through. True health, more than the absence of disease, is the integration of our many dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and other undefined ones yet. Whatever we can experience – our jobs, our relationships or our bodies, are bound by space and time, have a beginning, middle and end.

Science is beginning to understand the nature of the world in a way that parallels the ideas of the philosophers and sages of ancient time. Based upon a new paradigm that views the material world as an expression of an underlying field of conscious energy: the Universe is non-material. Our bodies are not merely physical machines that have learned how to manufacture thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

Regular practice of conscious breathing brings calming or energizing benefits, good appetite, cheerfulness, handsome figure, good strength, courage, enthusiasm, a high standard of health, vigour and vitality and good concentration of mind. Though our senses lead us to believe our bodies are solid, rigid and unchanging, our bodies are in fact rivers of intelligence that are continuously changing and ever new.

Adding the right diet for our body to this and respecting the circadian rhythm (24hours) of nature on us, is the very next step toward radiant & ready for all challenging changes ahead.

During this retreat we will go through the fundamentals of how to harness the vital energies available best in our environment and design a very personal nurturing routine as a real creative lifestyle response to changes.

The Effects of the Change of Season on the Body

Summer is over and the feared change of season is looming on the horizon, to which we usually attribute a wide range of illnesses. Scholars have established that SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), the disorder that causes fatigue, insomnia, poor ability to concentrate, nausea, psychomotor slowdown, irritability and decreased desire, in relation to seasonal changes, is a very common syndrome. 

Among all these symptoms, some are actually produced by the transition between summer and autumn, which leads to fatigue of the body, forced to adapt to changes that we take for granted but that affect more than we imagine for our overall balance.The arrival of autumn brings with it shorter days, lowering temperatures and the rain. 

The factor that perhaps most affects the state of our body is the progressive reduction of the hours of light, a change that impacts our mood, making us more subject to mild states of anxiety and melancholy. 

With the transition from summer to autumn, our body makes very clear demands on us.

But what about the signals that the psyche sends us?

 As the leaves begin to fall and the weather gets cooler, Mother Nature begins preparing for a type of death, and we too may feel called to let things go. We may also feel a need to ‘put things on ice’ or to release our attachment to taking action and making decisions in order to see where things may flow on their own.

Recognising moods and emotions is a good way to stay in touch with yourself, balance your nervous system, strengthen your immune system and prepare your general well-being, so you can activate and remedy the discomforts you feel. 

It is with the Autumn Equinox that we naturally begin to prepare for the darkness of winter that is to come. From this point, days now start to grow shorter and nights get longer. A beautiful time to honor how far you’ve come and recalibrate yourself into balance and presence before continuing onward in the journey through life.

Psychophysical well-being is achieved when body and mind are both healthy and in balance and, for this reason, the best approach to the change of season involves taking care of the entire body.

While this Equinox marks the point of diminishing sunlight, it is also a time of harvest where we celebrate all that has come to fruition in the bright light of summer.

It’s also a perfect time of facing our inner shadow, and the concepts of death, void, and darkness. This is a powerful and sacred time for you to identify the intentions you truly desire to embody and manifest your spiritual ascension or your “SOUL-PATH”  in your physical life on Earth…and when you do a divine realignment, cleanse and conscious connection to your path, your life’s purpose will just occur, like flowers are blossoming.

ENJOY PLENTY TIME TO RELAX, “SLEEP LIKE A BABY” IN AUTHENTIC SHEPHERD’S HOUSES & DWELLINGS FROM THE 17th CENTURY WITH 5 STAR COMFORT

As Matt Walker of the University of Berkeley recently wrote in New Scientist, “there is nobody tissue or brain process that is not improved by sleep or that is not affected by lack of rest”.

“Sleep is the price we pay to learn”

And in a way, it also serves the body to “forget” the small traumas of the day: GH, the growth hormone that the body produces while sleeping, is essential to regenerate and repair the tissues of muscles, tendons and cartilage subjected to wear and physical stress. Sleep, thanks to the expansion of the spaces between brain cells, allows the brain to eliminate unnecessary memories of the day, as well as toxins – such as the protein beta-amyloid, which accumulates with ageing and is also related to Alzheimer’s dementia, enhancing the synapses essential for learning processes. In this way, long-term memory is consolidated.

Change, like the seasons, is a creative process!

NOW  is the time to look within and to reconnect with your authentic desires…  Surrender the new seeds created with the power of your intentions and ideas about what you are now ready to make possible for you in this life. 

The Autumn Equinox is harvest time and a powerful period to tune into gratitude, reflection and to prepare for winter where the beautiful opportunity to journey inward emerges from the cold and dark.

It is the perfect time to take inventory of where you have been, and where you are going or really want to go. 

You are supported now in breaking free from any remaining chains that have hindered or blocked your growth and stepping into a new level of your highest authenticity and soul light.

Balancing Your Masculine & Feminine Energy

Alchemy & The Tantric Way

What if something that is the most powerful, yet often confusing and considered generally ‘bad’, is actually ‘good’ when practised with guidance?

Our sexuality speaks above all of our relationships: Relation to oneself, to one’s own body, this stranger for many, relation to the other, to the couple…

In our sexuality, more than in many other areas, we deeply carry our heritage, parental, familial, transgenerational, but also collective and cultural. 

During this retreat, the question of releasing blockages, balance, desire & rebirth is the central theme.

The desire, that stranger, that you don’t command.

Tantra is a cosmic science which means “union of polarities”, that is the link between the male and female principles, which we all contain, whether we are men or women, and which are contained in the universe in different forms, the  moon and the sun, day and night, north and south, sexual and spiritual, shadow and light, etc.

These workshops are about embracing everything, especially the things that have been banished by organised institutions, as a possible means for spiritual evolution and focuses on nothing else but complete union with the Divine.

Sexuality is a part of that everything.

However, Tantra is not only about sexuality. The reason we are so obsessed with this part of Tantra is because sexuality is misused by many in so many ways and because the institutionalised religions have not the slightest clue on how to deal with it.

The only way they have ever known how to deal with has been to either demonise it or to ask what is impossible for most of us, especially when young; that is, to ‘just sublimate it’. We know how this has turned out, with many religious leaders being painfully bad examples in this area, over and over again.

The first thing is to remove the taboos and the shame, the guilt, the ignorance that has been generated until today. Traumas, abuse, rape, incest, lack of libido, impotence, anorgasmia, premature ejaculation, orgasm, masturbation, are issues with which many struggle in the private sphere without being able to talk about them. 

There is also often a whole education which was not made and which one takes again, that can pass by pure and simple anatomy. This special designed program including Sexual Healing Therapy is above all a path of the Self, which goes through our innermost depths to be able to fully live this adventure of desire, which is nothing else than the adventure of life.

Alchemy is the science that aims to transmute. Transmutation is the change from one substance to another, this change of state can be caused intentionally or not.

As for tantrism, it is a current of thought which has influenced various religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism and on which one can find information in the texts called tantra. Its peculiarity is that this path can be followed without having to give up worldly life, to isolate oneself. On the contrary, the difficulties and constraints of daily life can serve as a field of practice.

True alchemy must be produced in itself: the alchemist is also the one who transforms from within. The word alchemy comes from the Arabic “al chem”, literally “that which is above the earth”.

An invitation to see what is beyond the masks, the packaging or more generally the visible? With emotions or without, the woman does not seek the absolute, but love. Man does not want to know either the suffering or the experience of that suffering – in general, therefore, he is cut off from this by his emotions.

The woman drowns her in emotions. She primarily feels with her right brain, while man feels with her left brain. The ultimate art of life is therefore to find a way to reconcile the two ways. Alchemy and the Tantric way have a common goal: to transform what is!

In ancient Egypt the marriage between Isis & Osiris was considered as the sacred union of body and soul, life and death, the tangible and the hidden. The marriage of heaven and earth.

This dogma which is supposed to speak of Love reveals to us the whole opposite because in the name of the Love of God how many men, women and children have been violently abused, killed or tortured?

The King Solomon was a practitioner of the Tantric Alchemical Way and that is why he wrote this wonderful Song of Songs, a very erotic poem which he sang accompanied by his Harp generating an ultrasonic melody thanks to the harmonics. Solomon and the Queen of Sheba are two Tantric lovers.

His Father King David was himself a loving man and Jesus is part of his lineage.

Jesus and Mary Magdalene brings us to another historical tantric couple.  Through his ministry, Jesus came, among other things, to restore the divinity of Women and its twinflame, but religious dogma erased this reality and in catholic churches all traces of sexuality, of loving couples have disappeared until today.

When Marie Madeleine, who in her time was initiated to sexual tantrism in Egypt, was labeled a prostitute. Jesus was presented as a hardened bachelor, when he was the husband of Marie Madeleine and that is why he was called “rabbi”.

In the Middle Ages women had to perform the “conjugal duty” and especially without having pleasure, they had to give pleasure without having it and their only role consisted in giving birth in pain, in order to pay for the fault of Eve who, by crunching the apple, generated so many seeds afterwards!

In the Vatican, most of the marble statues representing deities and mythological heroes have been emasculated: they cut their purses with a chisel !! Until today, the great coated religious Pontes, that is to say, dressed in dress but also very fat, have eradicated the female presence and sex has been condemned while all these pontes were still born following a sex and not by an operation of the Holy Spirit.

But why this ostracism since all spiritual path sooner or later meets desire?

Whether it be desire for fusion with oneself, or the opposite sex, or unity with the divine sa, whatever the intimate or cultural perception of what is called God & Goddess.
