When our lives get out of balance we experience stress. The
stress may come from work, relationships, health challenges,
legal challenges, the environment or any combination of factors.
Stress in of itself is not so bad but when experienced regularly
over time disease states arise: irritability, anxiety, insomnia,
headaches, feelings of helplessness, and indigestion. Left
unchecked chronic stress leads to depression, high blood
pressure, diabetes, heart disease, chronic anxiety, a
compromised immunes system, etc.
A time honored way of bringing balance into your life is with a
retreat. A retreat can help you regain balance and live
healthier in a number of important ways. First, when you
participate in a retreat you remove yourself from the regular of
stressors of daily life and by doing so create an opportunity
for your system to naturally come back into balance. Sometimes
we have lived so long with stress that we have forgotten what it
feels like to feel really good!
A retreat offers the possibility to feel good again. And having
this time away you can gain a fresh perspective of what is
causing the stress and consider what you might do to bring about
a healthier lifestyle.
When you combine retreat time with a natural healing modality
such as yoga you create an opportunity to renew and revitalize
your entire system body, mind and spirit, at very deep levels.
You also have the opportunity to learn something new or deepen

become inspired to practice regularly at home which will further
bring balance and health into your life.
Of course the ideal retreat includes delicious and nurturing
meals of whole foods, like minded people, time to play, and a
sacred environment where the healing power of nature can support
you: magnificent views, beautiful weather, the energy of the
land etc. It is for this reason that retreats are often taken in
the mountains, forests, by the ocean, or on tropical islands.
Being in a beautiful natural environment also has another
powerful effect; you are reminded of the grandeur and beauty in
the world, and that in some way connected to this, regardless of
what is happening in your life. We are reminded that there is
something larger than ourselves, which leads to a mindset that
is more open open to fresh possibilities and the creative
spirit.
New environments also set the stage for fresh stimuli; input
which can trigger new ideas and ways of thinking. This can come

exploring the local environment, learning about the local
culture or customes or simply trying a new restaurant. A retreat
offers the opportunity to break out of the box out of our
habitual ways of thinking which in turn fosters new perspectives
and creativity.
While regaining balance, reducing stress, renewal are often
strong motivations for attending a retreat, there are many other
reasons people do this which include quiet time for themselves,
time to sort out some aspect of their lives, to learn a new
skill or deepen into a specific modality, to do something nice

Before you go on a retreat take time to think about why you
are going and what you want from that experience. Just as an
individual reasons for going on a retreat vary so do the many
types of retreats offered. Retreats can range in time from a
weekend, to week, to a month or longer. Some programs work with
the individual to create their own personalized retreat while
others are very structured and ask the participant to be
involved with many activities. Retreats can also be more like
vacations.
Whatever your reasons may be to go on a retreat, whether it is
to reduce stress, regain balalnce, deepen your spirituality,
have a great vacation or a combinatn of things, a retreat can be
the perfect way to rebalance your life, renew your spirit and
live a happier, healthier life.
