Ratu Bagus Bio-Energy Meditation Retreat
May 9 - 19 Rome
Shaking offers us the opportunity for real healing. The retreat with Ratu in Rome offers the opportunity for transformation.
Shaking is the world's most ancient healing tradition. We are created by energy, not vice-versa and it is through working with energy that we can transform our lives. In the beginning of our practice we actively shake the body.With focus, the mental control of the body subsides and the bio-energy begins to shake us. The shaker experiences internal heat and sweating, and spontaneous movement such as jerking, spinning and laughing. In this way we awaken the Sacred Fire within ourselves, burning away blocks and healing on a very deep level. The practice offers us answers directly; through shaking, we connect back to the Soul, to our original state of being, like the baby in the mother’s womb, shaking in a state of natural yoga. Often the Sacred Fire comes through us as laughing medicine; laughing with the energy and not the mind is powerfully healing, and Ratu’s retreats are filled with the sound of uncontrollable laughter.
Ratu Bagus is an energy master and spiritual teacher whose soul aim is to heal the problems and suffering in our world. Ratu is there to support, guide and protect us on this journey, but we have to do the work ourselves. He was born with the ability to transmit pure light, pure energy. If we focus on his picture with our heart, it becomes a mirror through which we can see and feel our true selves.Ratu has been healing, teaching and training people from around the world at his ashram in Bali since 1987.
‘Ratu works with tireless dedication. He is endlessly creative in his approach to awaken our desire for freedom, with his wonderful sense of humour shining through. Totally accepting of everyone, he sees the light that is who we truly are, and constantly invites us to realise this too’
The retreat in Rome is intensive in nature; we have three shaking sessions per day, each 1 hour 45 minutes, to the sound of dance music. Accommodation is simple and comfortable, and all meals are provided, so we can focus on our practice. Shaking with commitment will bring on emotional and physical healing processes, and the support of many fellow shakers is invaluable. Ratu attends the sessions, guiding and pushing us both energetically and literally! After each session Ratu gives a talk, and in the evening we gather for meditation and sharing our experiences.
‘Shaking creates the opportunity to exist free from pain, free from the negative thoughts and patterns that may have controlled our lives in the past, and it creates the opportunity to live to our greatest potential; to feel life, to feel love and to feel the light. Stay true to yourself, train regularly and keep Ratu in your heart always.’ Lucy Williams, UKBooking Information
