If you have long desired to escape the dog-eat-dog world that is the modern society, a weekend spent at a local spiritual retreat would probably do wonders in terms of bringing you back in touch with nature. There, you would have all the me-time required to bring you back into harmony with yourself and wear a spiritual t shirts online. While also getting to spend time with others of similar aspirations.
But the most common objection voiced by those unfamiliar with subjective spirituality (also known as gnosis; the acquisition of the first-hand experience) is that most holy practices are pagan in nature, and therefore, in conflict with their religious beliefs. Yet, there is no dogma involved in an action; every action is neutral, neither good nor bad, but rather, it is the intention behind it that separates a constructive act from a destructive one. Energy follows thought, as they say.
The average city-dweller has to contend with a lot in terms of exposure to toxic air, toxic food, and toxic people with their destructively toxic thoughts. Leaving one in a state of inner disarray as ones energies are constantly being scattered in an attempt to still be a productive functioning member of society. Unfortunately, the harm that comes from focusing on the material world at the expense of ones psychic faculties is well documented.
And when three-quarters of all visits to the physicians office are on account of the psychological strain being placed on people by having to adjust to living in high-pressure environments, and considering the direct correlation found between inhabiting said environments with the physical and mental illnesses that soon follow, it is little wonder many people have been discovering, and treasuring, the gentler approach to life engendered at most spiritual getaways.
Desiring more organic solutions to stress-induced health complications, people have been adopting more traditional (read: holistic) approaches to rest and recreation. After numerous studies indicating how mental health directly influences bodily health, more people than ever have begun taking an active interest in developing healthier mental habits in curbing their physical afflictions. Mind over matter has become the catchphrase of the 21st Century.
Many are disheartened upon learning that the downside to taking medication is usually the development of further illnesses as their bodies react negatively to many of the chemical compounds used in the production of medicine. So, what was meant to heal actually holds the potential to kill. But as people became aware of the existence of many religious practices of health-based entirely on non-invasive methods, they have been flocking to learn their secrets ever since.
And seeing how difficult is it to hear both sides of an argument while being strongly biased towards either side, it stands to reason that learning to listen is as invaluable a tool in reaching the greater understanding, as is being able to stand your ground in stating the strengths of a preferred argument. The exercises taught at a typical retreat offers just such a means to an end.
But there is no need to adopt practices heavily cloaked in occult meaning while hidden in the shadows away from the prying eyes of neighbors in order to accomplish ones holy aspirations. For a start, all that is required are a few minutes daily spent sitting in quiet contemplation. Eventually, people are overtaken by the wealth of insight being offered up by their subconscious minds. So instead of complaining about the lack of true esoteric experiences to be had in their practice, their complaints lean more towards being overwhelmed by everything they are learning about themselves. And a brief escape to a local retreat is usually what gets people started on the path to having such experiences themselves.
