BESKRIVELSE
Vi inviterer dig til et 6 – dages stilhedsretreat, der vil hjælpe dig med at styrke og gå dybere i din meditation og yogapraksis og give dig en unik oplevelse af den yogiske livsstil. Dette seks-dages arrangement giver den bedste mulighed for virkelig at forstå, hvad meditation handler om og hvordan man kan gå dybt ind i sig selv på kortest mulig tid.
.
Hvorfor stilhed?
At være i stilhed har mange fordele. Energi, der normalt ville blive brugt ved at tale, bibeholdes – man føler sig forfrisket – evner som aktiv iagttagelse og opfattelse får mere styrke og skarphed. Tale agiterer sindet. I stilhed bliver sindet naturligvis stille og ens meditation forbedres.
.
Betingelser for deltagelse
Dette er et udfordrende program – udover selve stilheden er der flere timers meditation hver dag sammen med sang og yogakurser to gange dagligt. Det er ikke velegnet til dem, der føler sig skrøbelige, lider af depression eller andre psykiske problemer (et mere gradvist eller mildt program ville være bedre). Dette program er designet til dem, der er klar til at tage en udfordring og lægge en seriøs indsats for at lære og praktisere meditation. Tidligere erfaring med meditation vil være nyttigt, men er ikke et krav.
.
Om programmet
Der vil være 4 timers meditation, 2 timers sang og 2 timers yogaøvelse hver dag. Hvis du er ny til meditation, vil de tidlige og lange meditationssessioner garanteret være en udfordring, men også en unik mulighed for at nå indre dybder som du aldrig har oplevet før. Meditationsvejledning vil blive givet af undervisere med mange års meditationserfaring, og der vil være mulighed for personlig konsultation dagligt hvis det ønskes.
.
Why chanting?
I denne praksis bruger vi en dynamisk form for sang, der kombinerer et mantra og en simpel dansebevægelse og kropsholdning fra klassisk indisk dans. Dette har flere fordele: For det første hjælper det med at opnå et koncentreret sind ved at holde sind, stemme og krop engageret i en rytmisk proces; For det andet giver det adspredelse fra at sidde, mens man stadig fortsætter en bevægelig form for meditation; For det tredje er kropsholdningerne designet til at åbne hjertet og skabe en lys, let og glad følelse, som er meget gavnlig til meditation. Til sidst har chanting en beroligende effekt på vores kropslige og følelsesmæssige energier ved at holde dem beskæftiget i stedet for at undertrykke dem. Det er en meget nyttig og behagelig praksis, selvom det tager en dag eller to at vænne sig til det.
.
Hvad kan man forvente?
Hvis du ikke er vant til at stå tidligt op, tager det et par dage at vænne sig til det (vi foreslår, at du står tidligt op et par dage før du kommer for tilvænnelse). I løbet af de første to dage er alt andet også nyt – meditationen, chantingen og de lange siddende meditationer (du kan bruge en stol, hvis du har brug for det). De to første dage er de sværeste. Derefter bliver du mere tilpasset til tidsplanen og rutinen, og du vil gradvist begynde at få mere glæde af meditationen og chantingen. Ved afslutningen af retreatet vil du opleve betydelige resultater fra begge. Så vær forberedt på at møde mange vanskeligheder i de første par dage, og vær fast besluttet på at holde ud, indtil du begynder at vænne dig til rutinen og praksiserne. Det vil være al besværet værd. De to gange daglige yoga asana-undervisninger hjælper dig med at slappe af og berolige din krop og sind, hvilket også hjælper dig med bedre at håndtere rutinen og meditationen.

DESCRIPTION
We invite you to a 6 – Day Silent Retreat that will help you deepen and strengthen your meditation and yoga practice and give you a unique experience of living the yogic lifestyle. This 6 day format provides the best opportunity to really understand what meditation is about and take it to a deep level in the shortest possible time.
.
Why Silence?
Observing silence has many benefits. Energy which would normally be expended in speaking is preserved – one feels refreshed – faculties such as observation and insight gain more power and sharpness. Speaking agitates the mind. In silence the mind naturally becomes quiet and meditation improves.
.
Conditions for Participation
This is a challenging program – on top of the silence there are several hours of meditation each day along with chanting and twice daily yoga classes. It is not suited for people who are feeling fragile, suffering from depression or other psychic issues (a more gradual or gentle program would be better). This program is designed for people who are ready to embrace a challenge and put some serious effort to learning and practicing meditation. Prior experience in meditation will be helpful but is not compulsory.
.
About the Program
There will be 4 hours of meditation, 2 hours of chanting and 2 hours of yoga practice every day. If you are new to meditation then the early rising and long meditation sessions will be a challenge but also an opportunity to reach inner depths never experienced before. Meditation guidance will be given by teachers with years of meditation experience and there will be opportunities for personal consultations on a daily basis if desired.
.
Why chanting?
In this practice we use a dynamic form of chanting which combines mantra and a simple step and posture from classical Indian dance. This has several benefits: First, it helps achieve a concentrated mind by keeping the mind, voice and body engaged in a rhythmic process; Second, it provides relief from sitting while still continuing a valid form of meditation; Third, the postures of Indian classical dance open the heart and create a light happy feeling which is helpful for meditation. Finally, it calms our physical and emotional energies by engaging them rather than suppressing them. It is a very helpful and enjoyable practice though it takes a day or two to get used to it.
.
What to Expect
If you are not used to getting up early it will take a couple of days to get used to it (we suggest getting up early for a few days before you come). During these first two days everything else is also new – the meditation, the chanting and the long hours of sitting (you may use a chair if you need to). So the first two days are the most difficult. After that you will become more adapted to the schedule and you will gradually start to get more enjoyment from the meditation and the chanting. By the end of the retreat you should be getting significant results from both. So be prepared to face a lot of difficulties in the first few days and be determined to hold out until you start to get used to the routine and the practices. It will be well worth the difficulty. The twice daily yoga asana classes will help you relax and tune your body and mind which will also help you to better handle the routine and the meditation.
