The Stats:
- Americans habitually look at their smartphones an average of 52 times a day and roughly 80 times per day while on vacation.
- Neuroimaging studies have shown that constant internet users experience abnormal changes in brain matter leading to anxiety, loneliness, depression and sleeplessness
- Screen time has shown to put strain on meaningful human connections.
The Solutions:
- New habits can be installed in the brain, by creating brain-grooves thru the power of deep trained attention and persistent good actions.
- It rests with you whether you will let the divine soldiers of self-control, peace, and harmony to rule your mental kingdom.
- Environment is stronger than will power. Surrounding yourself with positive people and influences strengthens your ability to create positive change.
Very seldom have you realized that the health, success, and wisdom outlook of your life entirely depends upon the issue of the battle between your good and your bad habits. You must learn to put your bad habits to flight by training all your diverse good habits in the art of victorious psychological warfare. –Parmhansa Yogananda
Our environment has a strong magentic influence on which tendencies rule our life. During this weekend you will unplug from your devices and be surrounded with a magnetic current pulling you upwards toward your higher aspirations and authentic Self. When absorbed in joyful activities, our old habits can “fall away like autum leaves.”
Energization, Yoga, and Meditation–Start your days off right with a breakfast of Ananda Yoga® techniques for all around well-being.
Experiential Joy– A fun and creative class for learning Yogananda’s essential teachings on how we can awaken our true potential and replace bad habits for good habits.
Forest Therapy Exercises –Breathe deeply nature’s healing influences in our 700 acres of coniferous forests. Fill your tissues and pores with life giving energy. Studies have shown that “bathing” in phytonic rich forests significantly decreases level of stress hormones, anxiety, anger and fatigue.
Juicing for Glowing Health– Fill your body with condensed life force found in fresh fruits and vegetables. Vitamins are the “brains” of the food we eat and are the subtle electricity to replete the body battery with fresh energy.
Restorative Ananda Yoga®–Deeply relax as your body is completely supported in yoga poses. With the aid of props, without strain or pain, we can achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation.
Creative Solutions –We will create a customized yogic inspired plan for replacing digital time with more meaningful connections with others and ourselves.
