Yoga and Meditation

Yoga and Meditation go together and create a synergy of balance for one's Mind, Body and Spirit.  In addition to a day's offering of included yoga classes, you may wish to incorporate breath work and meditation into your Wellness Program. 

Some popular Meditation Classes are:

	This longer-format class is a great opportunity to step back and think deeper about how we generate stress and how we can orient ourselves to stressors in new and powerful ways. While at the Resort, you'll learn that there are no magic techniques, yet through the development of mindful awareness we teach you how to better regulate the body, guide the mind towards less negative patterns, and balance the emotions. This course blends lecture, discussion, and experiential elements to give guests a firm understanding of mindfulness and how to use it realistically and creatively in their daily life. Learn how the stress phenomenon operates within you and how to apply mindfulness to reduce, manage and master stress responses.
Morning Meditation
	Begin your day with the serenity of sitting meditation. This is signature Mindful Meditation, the practice of bringing awareness to our moment-to-moment experience. This simple--but not easy--practice of acceptance, letting go, non-striving and suspension of the judgmental mind leaves us with a deep sense of openness and receptivity to ourselves, to others, and to the moment as it unfolds. Profoundly impact the rest of your day by starting your morning in the serenity of sitting meditation.
Mindfulness Meditation
	You will hear and see the term “Mindfulness” during your stay. Mindfulness is a special way of paying attention and a core concept that shapes the programs and environment. We believe that this way of paying attention enhances our life experience and gives us inner resources for dealing with difficulties as well. We hope all our guests will get a chance to explore this during their stay, and benefit from it long after they depart. This course will go over basic concepts and simple techniques to stimulate mindful awareness in daily life. This is an introduction to the concept, benefit, and practice of present moment awareness. Recommended for all first-time guests.
Labyrinth Journey
	Walking our outdoor labyrinth is a type of meditation – a way to move into a meditative state of awareness without sitting still or trying to quiet your mind. This walk frees your mind to take in the experience on any level, and involves nothing more than following the path from the entrance to the center, and back again. Labyrinth walks may be used to facilitate forgiveness, resolve conflict, aid in decision making, express gratitude, or simply to provide relaxation. The Labyrinth (sometimes called the path of silence) is a tool of walking meditation that provides a safe, serene environment to focus inward.

 Afternoon or Evening Meditation could be any one of the following:

Chakra Meditation 
Connect to your seven energy centers through this guided meditation, which explores each Chakra's relationship to different aspects of your self.

Faith 
In this non-denominational Faith Meditation we learn to “place the heart upon” what is possible, gaining trust and confidence in ourselves and the unfolding process of life.

Loving Kindness 
Loving kindness is a 2,500 year-old meditation practice that uses repeated phrases of goodwill to evoke a feeling of friendliness and kindness towards ourselves and others. In Western terms, it is like a prayer, or a cycle of prayers. It is very useful for quieting distracting thoughts and feelings and clearing a space for mindfulness at the beginning of a session of meditation; it is also a valuable, heart-opening practice in itself.

Sound Meditation 
Experience the positive effect of sound and vibration as a way to calm the mind, settle the emotions and balance the body, life and spirit. Using many tools and techniques, from the huge waves of the crystal bowls to the subtle waves coming from the vibrations of your own breath, you will learn new ways to listen and recognize how sound affects you.

Settle emotions and balance the body with the positive influence of sound and vibration.

Healing Visualizations 
Healing Visualizations is an active form of meditation that engages the mind and harnesses the power of positive imagery to bring about states of well-being that create a pathway for mind-body healing to occur.

Peace Meditation 
In this meditation we cultivate deep states of relaxation by first bringing ease and restfulness to the body, breathing naturally with awareness in a guided meditation accompanied by music. With visualization techniques, we further encourage serenity and tranquility which easily flows from the body to the mind allowing it to rest in its natural state of spacious, open awareness.

Cultivate deep states of relaxation with the assistance of soft, serene music and guided imagery.

Forgiveness Meditation 
In order to release deeply held feelings of negativity to ourselves or others, we must be able to forgive. Forgiveness meditation opens and softens the heart and allows us to let go of shame, blame, guilt, and anger and replace this with openness, patience, compassion, and friendliness. Forgiveness does not mean that we condone a harmful action, deny injustice or forget. When we are held captive by our own or others' past actions we carry resentment and our present life can only be partially lived. In forgiveness we begin to give birth to a new and renewed self, free from the burdens of the past.

Learn how to cultivate resilience to help you navigate the stresses of your daily life. Start living with more energy, greater emotional balance, and improved mental and emotional flexibility. Explore the effects of emotions on the body and mind, learn how to stay present, and choose how you respond to stressful situations.  This custom retreat is for YOU to restore on every level of Mind, Body and Spirit.
