Training the Positive Mind

At

Bilberry Centre by Licky Hills.   Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th

 

A big thank you to Sikh Nari Manch for organising this second retreat, and what a treat we had. This year was “training the positive mind” through the use of yoga, pranayam and meditation. One of the first students to arrive at the centre came early with a lovely smile, lots of enthusiasm and an eagerness to help. I new we were going to get along straight away. There were certainly lots of jobs to be done as we were expecting over seventy students this week- end. The next two people to arrive had travelled from Liverpool, and that is how the week-end progressed.  Lots of lovely people, a great venue surrounded by hills to walk and talk in.  We worked at our yoga together, shared experiences, ate delicious food and all in a multi cultural setting. We learned how to balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain and how to bring the positive into our lives rather than fall into the subconscious tendencies of the negative mind. We worked hard and raised our communal energy filling the room with our chanting and vibrating the rafters.                                                                                       

We observed “Conscious” cookery and nourishing the body. Thank you to Birgit.  We talked of growing foods from seed and making gee (more next year). By evening we were all feeling that we had worked and played hard so bed was calling us, especially as it was an early start the next day.

Morning Sadhana is a conscious activity, consciously choosing to rise up to exercise the body and meditate. And we did. We all chose to attend and we were rewarded hugely with the most wonderful energy. We shared an afternoon workshop with Angad .We finished with tea and biscuits with time to say our goodbyes, and thank you all for a very successful week-end.
