Spiritual Ashram Retreat

Many spiritual studies emphasize the inter-connectedness of all things to the One Source of all life.  Yet living in the pell-mell day to day mainstream of life seems to constantly tear us away from the realization of that connectedness.   We grab onto whatever core values we can:  going to church, family activities, work.  These are the routines that get us through each day.

Yet, at the end of the day, we sit and face a feeling of emptiness.   Sometimes it echoes like that pop song from years ago:  “Is that all there is?” People turn to television, radio, the internet, alcohol, drugs and many other diversions to try and fill that space.

That emptiness comes from separating ourselves from the One.  The One resides within.  In order for us to grasp that magnificence of what some would call the Holy Spirit, we need to be able to sit and be still.  In the stillness, we can find our connection back to the Source, the One.

And, as each day dawns, bringing us a new life, we have the opportunity to take the connectedness we have experienced and put it to service, through our jobs, through our family’s needs.  And so we come renewed to life.

 I found that living in the mainstream, I did not find the stillness easily.  The noise of daily life threatened to drown my sanity.  It was only when I ventured into the sacred space of a spiritual ashram retreat that I discovered the delightful joy of knowing the One.  In the clean and sacred environment, I could work as I was accustomed to work, and give service, yet I could also meditate and take valuable time to explore myself, so that I could grow and become the person that I knew in my heart of hearts, I was born to be.

True freedom comes from submersion of the Ego self into the bliss of the divine I AM.  And the path to that freedom lies in beauty of the spiritual ashram retreat and the gifts it offers.

In these times of change people are seeking new ways to regenerate and reinvent themselves at a spiritual ashram retreat. The old ways no longer work and the new is being birthed so we are seeking answers. We are looking deeper inside and desiring to trust our inner voice, the core of our being, our heart. How to access that inner space and the all knowing part of ourselves is often confusing. We know that it is possible at a spiritual ashram retreat, but are not sure of the path to follow.  
 
Getting away from the city to a place, like a spiritual ashram retreat, where we can quieten the mind and hear the voice within can assist us to leap ahead on this inward journey. Being with other people of like mindedness assists in strengthening our feelings of being a part of something that is bigger than ourselves. We begin to feel and understand that it is possible to grab the moments, delve in our consciousness and find what we are looking for at the spiritual ashram retreat. And part of the beauty is that each person’s approach and path may be different, but as the wise ones say, they all lead to the same place.
