SPIRITUAL HEALING CENTRE RETREAT

ISSUE :
Spread awareness about the spiritual healing through nature.

INTRODUCTION:
I. WHAT IS SPIRITUAL HEALING : Spiritual healing heals the soul of the person and liberates the natural healing ability. Spiritual healing helps us to achieve a point of balance within ourselves. This means that when the innermost layer of a person is balanced and energised, a sense of being more at peace with oneself and the world is achieved. Once the inner balance is achieved the outer balance of the person is positively affected like more focus, concentration, confidence and stability. The most outward layer, the physical body, is also very positively affected. As the energy becomes more balanced, the strength to deal with any issue also improves.

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL HEALING THROUGH NATURE?

Nature is an integral part of ones life. There is abundant variety in nature that has blessed each one of us. There is beauty in every essence of nature. By just being in the cocoon of nature, people have been cured in several ways. What is does it relaxes and refreshes the mind and soul of every individual and the person is reluctant to think of anything other than the beauty of nature.

Everything in Nature, on the basis of energy level is worked in the same simple way to maintain equilibrium, including the humans. However, on a physical or

intellectual level it is seen that we humans are working almost exactly opposite to the natural way. This is affecting the balance and health of our energy fields and our consciousness and also the natural environment of the Earth.

Nature works on a principle of IN TO OUT, expanding outwards from the centre. Like the droplet which falls into the water spreads its ripples from the source to outside. Also if we trace the growth of a tree, its from a seed to the large foliage tree. We do not plant a tree and watch it turn into a seed. This is how natures creation works, from inside to outside from smaller things to bigger things. If the droplet had to discover where it originated from it would look towards the centre of the pond rather looking searching outwards in a wrong direction. Today, we have been conditioned to look externally for the answers instead of within us, to the source of our energies. Thus nature teaches us to look within us to find answers of our creation instead of looking beyond us. The en ergy which we get from nature is beyond our imagination and so we should take the most of it. The energy of the wind, water, solar, lunar is much more powerful than any other artificial energies produced. III. WHY THE NEED OF THIS AWARENESS?

Every individual should work towards bringing their bodies back into balance or equilibrium. Inner growth, self discovery, self transformation and development is very essential for every individual. This can be achieved by working in accordance with the nature and in keeping the track in which we are designed to work, and not against it.

Nature has bestowed upon us many things and it's time to make use of the things it has blessed us with and in return balance the entire living system.

FURTHER PROCESS OF THE STUDY

1) In all the study I did till now, the fact that I came across is, most of the healing centres have a domed structure. So now I will be studying regarding the dome structures and the science behind constructing a dome. According to my analysis I feel that the sound gets echoed inside the dome ( meaning multiplies). So meditation or the energy seeking techniques done inside the dome would be multiplying the energy received. 2) I want to read the following books; a. POWER OF NATURE BY BECCA HEDLE b. YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE BY HAY LOUISE L. c. MEDITATION AS MEDICINE: ACTIVATE THE POWER OF YOUR NATURAL HEALING FORCE. 3) I want to visit Pagoda at Gorai in Mumbai. 4) Further study regarding the techniques of healing like naturopathy.
