What about happiness?

The concept of happiness is very personal. It´s what everybody achieves in their life, their ultimate goal. Everybody relates happiness with different layers such as wealth, health, relationship, travel and so on, in any case something coming from outside.

The Path of Happiness starts when we take complete responsibility of ourselves and our lives, understanding that we are the creators of our life.

I create my own reality and so my Happiness

             Copia Happiness

What a joyful revelation!

Along with our life and the experiences that we had, our conscious mind creates structures, false templates conditioned from our thoughts, behaves and beliefs, a sort of mental loops to which we engage, thinking that it is our real life.

Do you know that 95% of who we are is based on the past, routines and repetitions and old limiting patterns stored in the body?

Unconsciously we anchor this reality into our body that becomes a container of information, emotions and energies of all kind, nurturing these negative programs until affirming it in the whole system, and, all the potential we had to invest in our growth and evolution is used for survival.

Our energy body is a magnet, that works to create a synergy of attraction.

It´s our responsibility to uplift our survival mode energy and allow the access of beneficial energies in order to stop attracting, again and again, the same situations related to these negative patterns.

The Path of Happiness start from us, from the moment we shift our energy clearing our mental-emotional loops to connect with our own bliss. We so rise our vibration and expand into beautiful manifestations attracting more happiness and joy!!

I attract what I Am

During the Retreat, you will explore your body through different techniques of energy activation, such as Yoga, Quantum Flow, Sun Gazing, Quantum Healing Meditations and learn how to use it as an instrument to embrace the highest version of yourself that lives in a state of Happiness.

The practice is directed to Reset and Restore our energy connection into all the layers of our being, stimulating the body to tune with its electromagnetic field using the spine, the brain and the nervous system as a platform of manifestation.

Off course, the result will depend of the grade of compromised with oneself, because Happiness is a choice!

 

How compromise are you with your life?

 

What are you choosing today?
