Do you sometimes wonder what real happiness is?
Do you want to understand what exactly your mind is searching for?
Do you sometimes feel that it is difficult to come out of thought patterns that do not let you feel happy, such as worry, frustration or stress?
Do you seek freedom from the ever changing scenarios of daily life?
This new in-person silent retreat which is happening in England will teach you how to focus the mind on positive and important things and on being in the present, rather than on useless thinking or unpleasant thoughts. You will learn how to live in a state of peace regardless of the tumultuous external life situation. Eventually, if you continue to follow the techniques shared, it may lead to realisation of the true self or your true potential through a powerful technique called self enquiry.
The silent retreat is based on Aham Shoonyam’s Attention Training & Realignment Programme, a powerful 7 step method designed around a step by step intellectual understanding of how the mind works and how to use the mind as a helpful tool rather than being a slave of the mind. The program is not based on any belief system but rather focuses on experiential knowledge. The small group size will support you to enquire, test and experience for yourself by providing a peaceful environment and tailored support.
Details
This is the first Mighty Himalayas silent retreat based on Aham Shoonyam teachings to be offered outside of India. This new retreat will be conducted with small group sizes to allow participants to focus inwards without distraction.
The silent retreat is conducted by a teacher trained by Aham Shoonyam, and also includes a Q&A session with a senior Aham Shoonyam teacher via live video link. The program is specially designed by yogis of the Himalayas for rational thinkers. It shares tried and tested techniques that work and create a strong foundation for experiential understanding of the true self.
The Attention Training & Realignment program is a seven step method to train the attention to shift away from thought patterns to the stillness of being conscious or to positive thought patterns. Through these techniques, gradually a person can gain more control and freedom to use the mind in productive activities rather than wasting time in overthinking and negative thought patterns. It also opens up the possibility of discovering the true nature of the self, which is also described as self-realisation.
The seven steps of the Attention Training & Realignment program are:
PCA: Presence centred anchoring
(Spending time in the presence of an expert practitioner/master for clarity of mind, deep insights and constant reminders to stay in the present)
SMTDS: Subconscious mind training during sleep
(Training the subconscious mind through powerful subliminal affirmations by listening to an expert master's audio recording)
BCAT: Being centered attention training
(Practice of bringing attention back to the present moment through our techniques. Practice being alert like a cat)
AAIS: Attention absorption in inner silence
(Learning how to let the attention shift from mental voices to bliss of inner silence)
​
EPIC: Enquiry based program for intellectual clarity
(Self enquiry based intellectual understanding of how the mind works and how to transform the mind)
SMTWA: Subconscious mind training while awake
(Training the subconscious mind through powerful self affirmations/mantras)
​
MPS: Mental pattern shifting
(Learning how to shift the attention from negative thought patterns to positive patterns through gratitude)
