Retreat: July 02 to 13, 2023

When I decided to sign up for the retreat and immediately received that the condition would be to meditate two hours a day, there I already saw that this choice was serious and I immediately took that attitude. And so from May until the retreat I have been following it.

I noticed a greater centering, more calm and also realized that the path was not linear because there were days of extreme peace and gratitude and others of much chaos and revolt.

Three days before arriving at the retreat, I started with pre-moon hormonal migraines and as soon as I stepped foot in the Ashram my moon went down. On day 1 in the first meditation of the morning I sat to meditate in the hall and in a matter of minutes I felt a very strong twinge, it was colic with belly pain and I had to leave the hall feeling very bad, but all the time assisted by the resident in charge who helped me. I cried thinking that I would be "eliminated" (laughs), but I medicated myself and soon returned for the next meditation session.

The days that followed were a mixture of body pain, moments of pure ecstasy with sublime well-being, anger, crying, laughter, clarification and today at the end I can only feel gratitude and much love.

The Satsang videos were answering each day my questions and daily experiences and the final individual Satsang was very powerful, it will certainly be important in building my spiritual journey following the teachings and each day detaching from worldly life for the true Igniting of the Sacred Fire.

Gratitude to the residents and the Ashram for the opportunity, welcome and days of extreme connection with my purpose.

This is my third time coming to the Ashram to participate in a retreat, and I can say that since the first one, my level of spiritual maturity has only grown.

The guidance of Master Sriman Narayana is precious and nourishes very deep layers of our being.

The monks and residents inspire with their devotion, and are always welcoming and ready to help.

The meals are nourishing in every sense, simple, complete, delicious, and they feed both body and spirit. The dorms are warm and comfortable.

This is a sacred place, and when we are aligned with the vibration of the retreat, we truly feel as though we are entering a sacred mission.

My deep gratitude to everyone.

Immensely grateful for the opportunity, of so much Love and welcome. To feel Love without being touched, without anyone talking to you, or looking. And everything is in the details, in the rooms, bathrooms, wonderful food.

The most important thing was our practices. I confess that I thought about giving up, a lot of pain in my lower back. After the 3rd day I improved about 50%, it really is deep and very serious. I confess that I had no idea that it would be difficult and I had no idea how much I did not know about anything Spiritual. Because we are always focusing on the external (illusion), everything we need is inside, but it requires a lot of discipline, which was difficult for me. During the practice, in my case, there were many thoughts from the past, stories, I still have difficulty focusing on the technique, I will succeed.

Thank you very much for everything.

In these days I have come into contact with a wisdom that I had never had before, with the real meaning of spirituality.

I give thanks for so much generosity and blessings received.

It was intense and overwhelming, with all the belief structures that existed in me, difficult to express in words what this process was, because any materialization in words seems to distort the real experience.

I can only say thank you! Gratitude and see you soon.
