Reflections on how to improve your life for good

Unplugging for Wellness: The Healing Power of Retreat Workshops in Nature's Embrace

In our fast-paced, digitally driven world, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the constant demands and routine tasks of everyday life. The incessant buzz of notifications, the pressures of work, and the endless to-do lists can leave us feeling depleted and disconnected from ourselves.

Yet, amidst the chaos and apparent madness of the external world, there exists a sanctuary - a refuge where one can disconnect, relax, and replenish their mind, body, and spirit. This sanctuary resides deep within everyone, and accessing it is a matter of personal choice…

How FEAR can paralyze your life and what to do when it does

One morning Max, (who could be any of us), woke up feeling overwhelmed by his financial situation: taxes and ongoing payments he had to cover on one hand, and lack of income on the other. Realizing this, he began to express it out loud to his wife by saying: "I feel terrified...", was the phrase he repeated two or three times during the course of the morning, "…that's how I feel, terrified. I do not know how else to describe it, I literally feel terrified.”

Early afternoon that day, Max began to experience something that alarmed him even more: his muscles began to contract involuntarily and gradually, up to a state of continuous spasms, this time around, specifically on the left side of his upper body…

Astronomers detect ‘cosmic bass note’ or ‘hum’ of gravitational waves

Water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface and is vital for all known forms of life. The cells in our bodies consist of 65 – 90% water. We cannot survive without it. So let’s look at some of the fundamental symbolic meanings of this odorless, tasteless and mysterious building block of life.

Throughout history the element of water has been associated with a rich symbolism. In its many forms, dew, rain, seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, ice etc. – it is an archetypal symbol for birth, death, and creativity. It is the formless, containing potential form and possibilities. It is the realm of dreams and the astral, the home of emotions, intuition, and inspiration.

Meaning of Mandalas

Meaning of Mandalas

The renown Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, adopted the Sanskrit word mandala to describe the circle drawings he and his patients did. He associated the mandala with the Self, the center of the total personality. Jung suggested that the mandala shows the natural urge to live out our potential, to fulfill the pattern of our whole personality.

Growth toward wholeness is a natural process that brings to light ones uniqueness and individuality. For this reason Jung called the process individuation. He advocated respectful attention to the symbols of the unconscious as a way to enhance personal growth, and saw the spontaneous appearance of mandalas in dreams, imagination, and artwork as evidence that individuation is taking place.

‘The Law of Attraction’ and your thoughts

The law of attraction works universally on every plane of action, and we attract whatever we desire or expect. If we desire one thing and expect another, we become like houses divided against themselves, which are quickly brought to desolation. Determine resolutely to expect only what you desire, then you will attract only what you wish for.

Our inherent need to connect with Nature

Our inherent need to connect with Nature

Where thought goes…energy flows. Hence, it would seem logical, or at a minimum plausible, to imagine that when being in a forest or by a river, the current of thoughts is calmer and potentially more nourishing, or even healing. As opposed to when being in a hurried, hectic, or unsettling environment.

The concept that humans have a biological need to connect with nature has been called biophilia, from the Greek, meaning ‘love of life and the living world’. Because we evolved in nature, we have an inherent biological need to connect with it. Humans love nature because they learned to love the things that helped them to survive. Humans are genetically determined to love the natural world. It is in their DNA, and this affinity for the natural world is fundamental to their health. Regular contact with nature is vital to our well-being. It supports our level of awareness.
