Developing an awareness of the breath energies in the body is a step toward getting to know ourselves. Depending on our cultural beliefs, breath energies have been referred to as, being in the zone, being drunk on God, strong vibrations, being on fire, walking in grace, or the rivers that run through the body. The Chinese healing system of acupuncture recognizes these breath energies, as do the Indian medical tradition of Ayurveda and the Yogic traditions, with many documentations reaching back into ancient Vedic times. In this four-day retreat format, we will explore, enrich our understanding of, and become more aware of the breath energies.

Energy medicine is known in all cultures, straddling the fields of medicine and spirituality. Some of the names we may be familiar with are, Shakti, Prana, Juju, Blessing, Mojo, Tuning, Ambrosia, and Sweetness. We will learn to use the breath energy as medicine for the heart, in the process of healing our traumas.

This retreat will offer practices from the yogic tradition ( Asanas and Pranayama), chanting, and various breath skills from the meditation lineages, in support of our cultivation of breath energy as energy medicine. As a result of participating in this retreat we will gain deeper insight into our temperament which represents our unique nature. Learning about our own breath movement and how it wanders through the forest of the mind/ body, will lead us to the deathless.
