Transformative Meditation Retreat India
The approach focuses on giving an in-depth understanding of the layers of mind, how the mind works, how to do self enquiry to realise your true self, and on giving guidance on which of the hundreds of meditation techniques will work for you. The aim is that you can go beyond theories and philosophy to experience real meditation. You will learn about the four paths of yoga, which path resonates best with you, and how to apply these practices in your day-to-day life. The retreat takes place in the foothills of the Himalayas, where high energy supports the introspection journey and access to higher realms of consciousness. You will get an opportunity not only to meditate in nature, but also to feel the connection with the trees, mountains, birds and pure Himalayan air around.

Program
The approach is not to give you more and more theories, but to help you unlearn any unnecessary information about spirituality and to clear misconceptions and doubts. They share effective ways to experience real meditation in easy-to-understand language that you can apply on your own in your ongoing everyday life.
During this longer retreat there will be periods of silence midway through the retreat, where you will have the rare opportunity to experience the quieting of mental chatter and absorption in inner silence that happens naturally when you stay silent. By not speaking to anyone the silence will gradually enter your mind and mind chatter may gradually subside. This will help you to connect with your inner self.
They cover all four forms of yoga, which are Gyana yoga, Bhakti yoga, Karma yoga and Kriya yoga, so that you can choose which one resonates with you. They try to make it easy for you to understand how to apply these practices in your daily life.
There will be a balance of meditation techniques as well as discourses to clear your doubts and help you experience real meditation.
Please do not expect long sessions of yoga asanas, because our main focus is on meditation, however there will be some mild form of asanas or stretching exercises so that your body can be strengthened and it should not become a hurdle when you start entering deep meditative states.
The best way to experience this retreat is to come with an empty mind without any expectations, and to just be in the presence and pure vibes of the camp. This will help you to experience inner silence.
