A Relaxation Vacation
to Enlighten Mind & Body
WHAT DO YOU MEAN LIGHTEN UP!
“Lighten Up!” is a multi–level, multidimensional concept expressed in several platforms of the Lighten up! Community. What do you do? You come to a special place and spend time near the beach of a calm bay. Every day you have an opportunity to swim, practice Tai Chi and or yoga, or hang out under tree and journal. Then if you are interested, learn a bit about meditation and consciousness. Maybe even go deeper to have an introduction to controlled remote viewing and astral travel. Or sit in your room and rest and read. Like so many times in life, you know there is a lot going on around you that you want a break from. Hang out. Chill and cool off.
So lighten up! As in, relaxation. Take an emotional load off what has your attention and get so you feel you are breathing normally and can face the world with a smile again.
Lighten up! As in making small steps towards a more enlightened life. We absolutely do not pretend to do more than show you a few stepping stones for greater quality of life. Incorporate some of the gestures and affirmations of Tai Chi in the morning with Bud. Learn more about the importance of breath awareness with Priscila. Go deeper in mindfulness with Bud. Learn the use of mala beads, join the thread of contemplative ideas expressed in Kathryn’s guided meditations. Are we in alignment with our best concepts of ethical behavior to ourselves and other?
Lighten up! Become informed, enlightened In terms of advances in the science of consciences. There have been amazing advances in drugs, medication, micros tubules and brain function. Participate in a few mental exercise trials. Maybe contribute to a book.
Lighten up! In terms of your own light shining on the world. Here is a time and place for you to go deeper into your best contribution of service to the troubled millions before us.
Lighten up! As in dance and sing and flirt and wiggle and shimmy and have a good time. Laugh a lot. Big smiles. Bath yourself in gratitude with every sunset.
