“Powerful healing and transformation retreat”
8 Day Seven Chakra Journey With Yoga, Meditation, Breath, and Bodywork in the Himalayas, Dharamshala
Upper, Bhagsu Nag, Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh 176219, India
Enhancing Human Well-Being, Healing, and Self-Awareness Retreat in India
Most people left their body from the lowest chakra, the second center. There are seven chakras in the body from where life can go out of the body. The last is on top of the head, and unless you are enlightened or realise your true self, life cannot go out from that chakra. As you move more and more into the present, inside you will come across seven lights - what Hindu yoga calls seven chakras, Buddhist yoga calls seven lights, seven lamps. As you become more and more detached from the body, detached from possessions, uninterested in desires, your energy starts moving upwards. The same energy that is contained at the lowest center, at the second center. This very special retreat is based on seven lights/seven centers.

Program
This program is a very unique and powerful journey. It is specifically designed around the body-mind awareness about the Chakras system. As there are seven bodies, there are also seven chakras, energy centers, and each chakra is connected in a special way with its corresponding body.
First Body / Chakra
The chakra of the physical body is the Muladhara. This is the first chakra and it has an integral connection with the physical body. The Muladhara chakra has two possibilities. Its first potential is a natural one that is given to us by birth; its other possibility can be attained through meditation.
The basic natural quality of this chakra is the sex urge of the physical body. The very first question that arises in the mind of the seeker is what to do in regard to this basic urge. Now there is another possibility of this chakra, and that is brahmacharya, celibacy, which is attainable through meditation.
Second Body / Chakra
The second body is the emotional or etheric body. The second body is connected to the second chakra - the swadhishthan chakra. This also has two possibilities. Basically, its natural potential is fear, hate, anger, and violence. All these states, these qualities, emanate from the natural potential of the swadhishthan chakra. If a person stagnates at the second body, then the opposite qualities needed for transformation - love, compassion, fearlessness, friendliness - do not arise.
The obstacles on the meditator’s path at the second chakra are hate, anger, and violence, and the question is of their transformation. Here too the same mistake is made. One person can give vent to his anger, another can suppress his anger. One can just be fearful; another can suppress his fear and make a show of courage. But neither of these will lead to transformation.
Third Body / Chakra
The third is the astral body. This also has two dimensions. Primarily, the third body revolves around doubt and thinking. If these are transformed doubt becomes trust and thinking becomes Vivek, awareness. If doubts are repressed you never attain to shraddha, trust, though we are advised to suppress doubts and to believe what we hear. He who represses his doubts never attains to trust, because those doubts remain repressed inside him. His doubt will creep within like cancer and eat up his vitality. Beliefs are implanted for fear of skepticism. We will have to understand the quality of doubt, we will have to live it and go along with it. Then one day we will reach a point where we will begin to have doubt about doubt itself. The moment this happens, trust arises.
We cannot reach the clarity of discrimination without going through the process of thinking. There are people who do not think and people who encourage them not to think. They say, “Do not think; drop all thoughts.” He who stops thinking lands himself in ignorance and blind faith. This is not clarity. The power of discrimination is gained only after passing through the most subtle processes of thinking.
Fourth Body / Chakra
The fourth plane is the mental body or the psyche, and the fourth chakra, the Anahata, is connected with the fourth body. The natural qualities of this plane are imagination and dreaming.
This is what the mind is always doing: imagining and dreaming. It dreams in the night and daydreams in the daytime. If imagination is fully developed, that is to say, if it is developed to its fullest extent, in a complete way, it becomes determination, will. If dreaming develops fully it is transformed into vision - psychic vision. If a man’s ability to dream is fully developed he has only to close his eyes and he can see things. He can then even see through a wall. At first, he only dreams of seeing beyond the wall; later he actually sees beyond it. Now he can only guess what you are thinking, but after the transformation, he sees what you think. Vision means seeing and hearing things without the use of the usual sense organs.
Fifth Body / Chakra
The fifth chakra is the vishuddhi chakra. It is located in the throat. The fifth body is the spiritual body. The vishuddhi chakra is connected to the spiritual body. The first four bodies and their chakras were split into two. The duality ends with the fifth body.
The difference between male and female lasts until the fourth body; after that, it ends. If we observe very closely all duality belongs to the male and the female. When the distance between male and female disappears, at that very point all duality ceases. The fifth body is non-dual. It has only one possibility, not two.
Hence the meditator need not make much effort here, because here there is nothing contrary to develop; one has only to enter. By the time we reach the fourth body we develop so much capability and strength that it is very easy to enter the fifth body. In this case, how can we tell the difference between a person who has entered the fifth body and one who has not?
Sixth Body / Chakra
The sixth is the brahman sharira, the cosmic body, and the sixth chakra is the Agya chakra. Here there is no duality. The experience of bliss becomes intense on the fifth plane and the experience of existence, of being, on the sixth. Asmita (Ego) will now be lost. Even “I am” will vanish, only is-ness will remain. The “I” will vanish at the fifth body and “am-ness- will vanish as you go beyond the fifth. The “is-ness” will be felt; tathata, suchness will be felt.
Nowhere will there be the feeling of “I” or of “am”; only that which remains. So here will be the perception of reality, of being - the perception of consciousness. But this consciousness is free of me; it is no longer my consciousness. It is only consciousness - no longer my existence, but only existence.
Seventh Plane
Nirvana, as I told you previously, means the extinction of the flame. That which was “I” is extinct; that which was “am” is extinct. But now we have again come into being by being one with the all. Now we are the brahman, and this too will have to be left. He who is ready to take the last jump knows both existence and nonexistence.
