Living from the Inside Out Retreat
Find Solutions to Life's Challenges
Not scheduled at this time.
Live More Deeply! Learn how to Access Your Superconscious Mind and Discover Your Deepest Wisdom.
Use and experience powerful laws of Spirit to discover your highest potential and to live with stronger, positive energy.
Lift yourself out of negative emotions and old bad habits. A wonderful clarity and positive energy comes with dynamically connecting to your highest self. Even a little of these superconscious techniques and inner attention can open the door for you to discover a storehouse of solutions within yourself.
The superconscious mind is the wellspring of true inner guidance and inspiration. It is the most powerful part of our mind and one we can learn to befriend and draw upon. Meditation is the springboard to attuning to superconsciousness. Learning to bring superconscious inspiration into life’s daily challenges will bring you unexpected solutions.
Your weekend will include in-depth instruction in one of yoga’s most useful techniques of meditation.
During this retreat you will learn how to:
- Recognize the ploys of the subconscious mind: unwilling to change, stuck in emotions like resentment, fear, anger, and more
- Use your conscious, thinking mind to your best advantage
- Learn to access the superconscious mind to help you solve problems, make decisions, and heal challenging situations with others
- Learn techniques to connect to your highest self
- Explore tools and attitudes to maintain inspiration throughout the day
- Look at attitudes that hold you back from higher awareness
Connect with your higher self—for better relationships, for harmony inwardly and outwardly, and to find solutions in daily life.
Don’t let others define you in their terms. Live by what you know of yourself, inwardly. Your abiding reality is the peace, love, and joy you have experienced in your own soul.
—Swami Kriyananda, Meditation for Starters

3 Tips for Living from the Inside Out
1. Take a few minutes of personal quiet time, noticing the flow of breath inside the nose, letting the world carry on without you. Make this a daily habit.
2. Notice negative thoughts and choose to release them. Discover new ways to approach a situation.
3. Place your index finger at the point between the eyebrows and concentrate (with relaxation) at that point. How do you feel?
