Happy, Loving and Beautiful.
You need strong determination and clarity to be happy. If you wait for people or circumstances to change, you will never ever be able to experience true happiness. For most people in the world, unhappiness has become a persistent habit. They don’t want to change their way of thinking. The irony is that most of us who are suffering know the cause of suffering too. But, we are too indecisive to act and be free.
Z Meditation is a Cognitive Meditation Work that aims at going to the deep subconscious roots of suffering which hide in the mind in the form of false beliefs and conditionings. Once a Z Meditator becomes aware of their presence, (s)he can use two logical tools – Deep Deconditioning Inquiry and Radiant Mantras – to root them out. This results in the experience of unconditioned peace, freedom and love.
When you will leave the retreat after one week, your whole perspective on life changes. You stop blaming anybody else for who you are and how you feel. You realize that you are the only person responsible for your happiness, as well as unhappiness. Your mind achieves a calm and freedom that you might never have experienced before.
If there are some deep hurts hidden inside, you will be able to let them go. Your relationship with your family, friends and relatives will improve a lot. You will be a new person altogether. As they say in our scriptures, you will get a new birth – a spiritual one.
Benefits of Z M
Increased Self-Awareness
Through the practice of Deep Deconditioning Inquiry and Radiant Mantras, you will develop a greater understanding of your subconscious conditionings that may be holding you back from experiencing true happiness.
Inner Peace and Calm
Z Meditation will help quiet the mind and promote a state of deep relaxation, resulting in a sense of inner fulfillment and calm. You will see that your whole life will become much more joyful.
Spiritual growth
The retreat offers a path for spiritual growth and development. By connecting with your inner self and cultivating inner peace, you can experience a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in life.
Improved Relationships
As you become more aware of your own belief and behavior patterns, you will gain greater insight into the perspectives of others. This can lead to more empathetic and compassionate relationship with those around you.
Greater Resilience
Z Meditation will help you build emotional resilience and a sense of inner strength, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with grace and ease.
Enhanced Physical and Mental Well-being
Studies have shown that meditation has a range of positive effects on physical and mental health - from reducing stress and anxiety to improving sleep, immune function, and overall well-being.
Not a victim anymore
You will refuse to let anybody shatter your peace. You will no longer suffer due to the opinions of others, or whether the weather is pleasant or not, or if they understand your standpoint or not.
Unconditioned love
True love will bloom in your heart. It is very different from being overly sentimental, attached and dependent that only leads to suffering. You will want to become a personification of loving kindness.
Clear Priorities
You will do what you ought to do and you don’t do what you don’t have to. You are able to weigh the pros and cons of your actions in the light of your clear goals. Your mind attains freedom from all confusion.
