Now you don't need to travel to a retreat centre or health spa to fulfill your wish for personal time, rest and relaxation and the chance to reconnect with your spiritual self. The guidelines and simple activities in this book can help you create a private retreat sanctuary at home - for a day, a weekend or longer. During five practice sessions keyed to the times of day, you'll engage in guided meditations to help you duplicate the simplicity and tranquility found in traditional spiritual retreats. You'll also do sitting and movement meditations and bring a meditative quality to daily activities by using feng shui, essential oils and simple rituals to refresh body and spirit. You'll also find health advice, including tips on what to eat and drink, stretches and yoga exercises and cleansing and detox techniques. This easy-to-follow retreat programme will appeal to anyone seeking an easy and convenient way to take a refreshing and renewing break from daily routine.
