There is a joke about worrying that goes like this: “Worrying works, because all of the things I worry about never happen!”
Paramhansa Yogananda recommended going on ‘worry fasts’ to rid the mind of “worry poisons and worry indigestion.” He wrote: “Whenever you find yourself indulging in a ‘worry feast’, go on a partial or complete worry fast for a day or a week.”
Together, let’s go on a ‘worry fast!’ During this fast, we’ll explore:
-How Saying Yes to Life! draws in energy & solution-consciousness
-Using affirmations to grow positive qualities & weed out negative ones
-Guided meditations to tune into the innate peace of the soul
-Ananda Yoga postures to release stagnant energy & uplift it
-Nature play & silent walks in the astral gardens at Heart Song
-Time for silence with reading, reflection, &/or journaling
-A creative visual arts activity to experience “going with the flow”
-Creating a meal with together using foods that harmonize & energize the body
-Experience community with soul friends in a relaxed & supportive environment
-The retreat concludes with a lovely High Tea and sweet closing ceremony.
There is room for 10 participants; first come, first served, so please register if you know you’d like to attend!
