Neutralizing Your Negative Past - Second Level of Self-Inquiry AHAM Series
While practicing and experiencing Self-Inquiry, it becomes obvious where there are strong negative or distracting mental and/or emotional patterns present. These are usually based on the conditioning from past experiences and/or the anticipation of future expectations. They affect one’s ability to abide in the present moment, or the One Reality, which is ever present here and now.
Neutralizing Your Negative Past is for those who have taken the Self Inquiry Meditation Retreat and who are ready to live free from these conditioned patterns and their associated compulsive thoughts.
Retreat Fee: $525.00 plus DANA* & GST. Includes 4 nights accommodation, all meals **, snacks and training material.
*Dana: AHAM operates on the Buddhist “Dana System” of conscious or intentional donation, wherein what you give “Reflects the teaching’s true worth to you or its value when lived and practiced.”
** Meals: Healthy meals include breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and refreshments, from Saturday dinner through Sunday lunch.
For more details on AHAM please visit www.aham.com or contact 250-923-7774.
