To truly appreciate and enjoy life,
Our mind is either dwelling in the past or anticipating the future.
It’s rarely in the “present moment”.
1. Mindful Awareness of your Body and Mind
In this meditation retreat India, you will learn to cultivate non-judgemental and mindful awareness of your body and mind.
2. An extraordinary self-journey
You will learn to truly let go during this extraordinary self-journey
3. Release Your Suffering
Originating from the teachings of the Buddha, this retreat is first and foremost about releasing our clinging to the same old habits and patterns that make us suffer.
4. Feel More Alive
When the body feels more alive, it becomes less of a conceptual prison but a matrix through which the freedom of spirit can be naturally expressed.
5. You will become Genuinely Happy
Instead of remaining stuck in the rut and thus creating more suffering, we begin by cultivating what makes us, and those around us, genuinely happy.
6. This retreat feels like a poetry in motion.
7. Get to Know Yourself Better
A retreat is your chance to get to know yourself better, to fully relax, to delve into your sensory experience, to open your heart and soul. Daily classes cannot achieve that for you to the same degree.
Benefits
- Be more relaxed and refreshed than you’ve ever been
- A chance to get away and step aside from all the hustle and bustle of city life
- Become stronger mentally and find inner peace
- The ideal location to unplug and enjoy the beauty of nature
Full Description
A silent meditation retreat can change the personality of an individual. Through silence, a person controls anger and speech. One grows stronger through greater determination and self-confidence.
One is more at peace and free of tension. There is conservation of energy, and a person experiences greater inner strength, helping one develop into a better person.
We all know that if speech is silver, silence is golden. Silence helps to conserve energy, to concentrate, and to introspect. It helps one in the search of divinity. By observing silence, one gains goals easily.
Irritability vanishes. You become a better listener. Your speech can now become carefully constructed and well-articulated.
We suggest that you bring a handbook in which you can write down your thoughts and emotions during your period of silence.
Silence And Solitude Is A Journey
Going on Silent retreats India is, essentially, embarking on a journey — and as with all journeys, you’ll face difficulties along the way. Real silence requires being alone with yourself and being comfortable with that solitude.
This can be hard even for the most introspective among us.
Being naked with our mental activity is surprisingly relieved as we discover the color and sound, vividness and simple beauty of just being present in our retreat.
Being present in our new environment with all our senses starts a journey from our mental busyness to the heart of awareness. This is where the questions slowly fade and the answers take shape.
People begin a retreat looking for information about how to fix their lives. As their Silent retreats India unfold, they discover experience and understanding that is deeper than fixing, more trusting in life itself. Mental work is giving way to peaceful awareness.
The purpose is found in simple peace. It is in these moments thoughts turn into awareness, ideas become understanding, and searching settles into an inner well of trust.

What Makes This Retreat Special ?
There are varying degrees of mouna. In karna mouna, or control of speech, other forms of communication, such as note writing, gesturing and eye contact, are still permitted.
However, when there is total withdrawal from all external communication, this is kastha mouna. Eventually all doubts are cleared from the mind, and the illusory character of the world with all its gunas is realized.
This state is known as susupti mouna. The highest form of mouna, when all thoughts are completely annihilated, is called maha mouna.
One Became a shining personality, emanating love and working very hard. Through the practice of mouna he was able to redirect the energy lost in anger in more positive directions.
The regular practice of mouna changes a person’s whole pattern of communication. His speech becomes more direct, concentrated and clear. When he does choose to speak, his brief words carry great power and meaning.
He is able to command the total attention of his listeners, and they are able to hear the deeper truths underlying his words.
