| The wisdom of our human world is not confined to the arts, the sciences, the faiths or the cultures. During many hundreds of years of separation from each other, the different cultures of the world developed radically different health systems, different ways of looking at and healing the human being. With a knowledge based multicultural approach, the Energy Medicine sessions examine these health systems, to see how they might fit into the modern 21st century lifestyle, how they might contribute to everyday wellbeing. All participants will come away with a bagful of ideas, from core beliefs to common sense tips that become part of one’s health practice for the rest of the year and beyond. |
| Energy healing
is a non-invasive form of alternative medicine, a healing technique to correct energy imbalance in the human body by activating the natural healing resources present within and thereby addressing any physical, mental or behavioural problems. It targets the energy fields around the body with simple techniques based on the meridians and chakras. “Energy Medicine awakens energies that bring resilience, joy, and enthusiasm to your life – and greater vitality to your body, mind, and spirit ! Balancing your energies balances your body’s chemistry, regulates your hormones, helps you feel better, and helps you think better”. ( Donna Eden ) Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. In time these energy blocks can cause of various diseases. Energy medicine routines are easy to learn and you can share simple techniques with your family or friends to enhance their wellbeing. “Conventional medicine, at its foundation, focuses on the biochemistry of cells, tissue, and organs. Energy Medicine, at its foundation, focuses on the energy fields of the body that organize and control the growth and repair of cells, tissue, and organs. Changing impaired energy patterns may be the most efficient, least invasive way to improve the vitality of organs, cells, and psyche.” ( David Feinstein ) |

| At an ocean sunset Ayurvedic retreat, this is an ideal opportunity to refresh, rejuvenate and recreate. Under the expert guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner and Yoga teacher, and with excellent massage and wellness facilities on site – Ayurvedic cuisine if preferred. |

With daily yoga, chi qong and the enquiry into the various Energy Medicines, the shakti, the boundless energy within, should begin to spark into life. Veda’ means knowledge, the knowledge of our own inner nature. Ayurveda itself means knowledge of a healthy life, part of the wider Vedic system underpinning Indian spiritual culture. Ayurvedic Treatment – Ayurvedic massages are normally of a very high standard and are highly recommendable. If a client wishes to pursue Ayurvedic medical treatment whilst on site, then that is entirely a client decision and the client’s responsibility alone. We take no view on whether or not Ayurvedic treatment would or would not be appropriate for the ailment treated. |

| On the trail of the Buddha……
from the divine gaze of the 4th-5th century Samadhi Statue to the enormous 1st-2nd century dagobas, the world’s largest solid structures after the Pyramids, the sprawling archaeological wonders of Anuradhapura are one of South Asia’s most evocative sites. A branch of the Sri Maha Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, was planted in 288 BC by Sangamitta, the daughter of Emperor Asoka, after which Anuradhapura flourished as a spiritual centre and capital until being abandoned following the invasion in 993 AD by the mighty Chola empire of Southern India. The kings of Sri Lanka retreated to Ruhuna in the south and after a 17 year long campaign from Ruhuna to Polonnaruwa, led by Vijayabahu I, the Cholas were finally expelled in 1070, thus establishing the Sinhalese kingdom of Polonnaruwa for the following 180 years. Vijayabahu I re-established Buddhism, repaired infrastructure and constructed the pilgrimage route to Sri Pada, the Buddhist temple on top of Adam’s Peak. After various dynastic rivalries, the Polonnaruwa period reached its peak under Parakrambahu I the Great (1153-1186), Vijayabahu I’s grandson, building the Buddhist temples and shrines that one can see today, encouraging the arts and for an agrarian economy based on rice cultivation, maintaining or constructing over 200 reservoirs, the largest of which surrounds the hotel where we stay in Polonnaruwa. |
