“Day

Healthy,

And

Every year I look forward to my annual spiritual retreat. Even though
two hundred of us congregate there, each of us will be in our bubble. We will
be away from technology for eight days. There will be no clocks, no mirrors, no
watches, and most importantly, no talking. Each of us will be introverted, more
like “Vipassana.” Literally alone in a crowd.
We hear only one voice, that of our spiritual guru, and no other human voice. It is like a rebirth after the retreat. We come back rejuvenated, refreshed, transformed, cleansed, with higher maturity, deeper spiritual experiences, ready to go beyond our comfort zone and achieve new milestones, and work on ourselves to achieve that inner purity, which will take us closer to divinity.
Session after session we gain a deeper understanding of aligning ourselves to the existential order by executing the right choices. That is when we experience a flow in our life. When we are not aligned, there will be perpetual struggle in life. The question is not, how much I know about God, but how aligned I am.
One feels very true to one’s emotions at such a retreat. We are not people conscious. Tears of happiness, peace and gratitude well up, thereby making you feel truly blessed to have such pure experiences. Now and then hands go up in gratitude and you cry uncontrollably, deepening your positive emotions.
Personally, for me, the transformation has been humongous. My tears are not anymore wasted on negative emotions. Rather, there has not been the need for it. The more and more I sit in Silence, the more I empty myself of my negativity. A quietened mind is the most dynamic mind.
The inner conflict is resolved, peace descends, gratitude fills your heart, happiness engulfs your life, you experience harmony, you become calm and composed, faith is strengthened, ego is annihilated, your self- belief increases, you choose your actions factoring the consequences, you bring devotion and sacredness to your work. These are all the unique experiences of being spiritually aligned.
You realize that the more and more you become a contributing individual, you stop consuming the world. You desire to be selfless by putting the cause of men ahead of the needs of man. Thus, abundance flows into your life, when you take care of the creations of the Creator.
Layer after layer, over the years, the cleansing has been happening. All the transformations first begin with the mind. A mind that is rested becomes very potent. It prepares us to go up by making it easy to give up. Once the mind becomes powerful, it is only a matter of time that you start living a life that is aligned. No aspect of life is neglected. You start growing holistically when you get your inner world right. Sooner than later you start magnetizing abundance in all forms and spirituality becomes a way of life
Blessed! Will always strive to be a blessing!!!
