Laughter and Silence Spiritual Retreat

Why a Spiritual Retreat?

We all want to be happy and do not want to experience pain or suffering. We have different needs and desires which, if unfulfilled, lead to stress, frustration and helplessness.

Spiritual practices help us to cope and face these problems with equanimity. We can take the ups and downs of life in our stride and no longer yo-yo between extremes peaks of happiness and depths of despair.

Spirituality is all about working smart, not working hard. It is about getting maximum results with minimum efforts. All one has to do is to align oneself with spiritual laws and the laws of nature, and let these forces glide you to happiness, as everything in nature works with effortless ease.

Spirituality helps to create new ideas, new visions, creativity, and intuitive abilities to reach our aspirations. It helps build a magnetic aura around you that attracts people towards you. It creates an energy that gives a sense of security, power and fearlessness.

Why combine Silence with Laughter?

Laughter deepens your silence and silence deepens your laughter. Unconditional laughter that follows silence is very deep and intense. It helps to transcend your conscious and judging mind and unfold the layers of your subconscious mind.  This helps you to get in touch with your true inner self.

Silence meditation also helps you understand what is going on with your life. At the deepest level you will get new insights, creative ideas and what you can do with them. It enables you to know more about your personality, behavior and belief systems, thereby ensuring a much deeper and real assessment of one’s nature and disposition.

5 Spiritual Laws

Whether we know it or not, every aspect of our life is influenced by certain universal principles. You may call them spiritual laws or universal laws. These will help the logical mind to accept what’s not working and why we face problems in life which are incomprehensible and make us upset and angry.

What cannot be explained logically can be understood by these spiritual principles. If we align ourselves to these principles, one can experience moments of happiness, peace, harmony and unlimited potentiality.

5 Rooms of Work/Life Balance

Based on age-old Indian wisdom, our life is like a house with five rooms: 1. Self, 2. Family, 3. Work, 4. Social, 5. Spiritual

If we want our house to be clean or our life to be balanced, we need to clean all the rooms and take care of all the areas of life.  Most people are focused on their work, leaving other areas of life unattended. This creates an imbalance. During this retreat, you will observe silence, contemplate and take an inventory of these five rooms.

How to Meditate

Dr. Kataria will teach you how to meditate in a simple way and you will learn different types of dynamic and still meditations.

Meditation provides effective stress management; improves perception and memory, controls addictions and cultivates positive health habits.

Focus and Concentration

You will learn to focus and direct your mental attention and energy towards a specific area in your life, which will result in tremendous personal power yielding unlimited growth potential.

Mindful Awareness

During the retreat, you will learn to observe your breath, which will bring you into the present. Placing awareness on your breath will allow you to become one with the moment, as you can truly experience the beauty of life as it exists.

Spirituality and Laughter Yoga foster a feeling of physical well-being, enhance the spirit and touch the emotional core of people. They both help to develop an emotional balance which enables people to understand their own emotions as well as those of others.
