The pressures of modern life can create states of fear and anxiety. It is understandable to feel like this, but be assured that whenever there is difficulty, there is hope. Sometimes we are troubled by something unseen but felt in our deepest conscience. We can sense an imbalance in the energy around us, but we are not sure what to do to create harmony and tranquillity. We all strive to find a calmer, peaceful existence, but sometimes we need support and a helping hand on our journey. Happiness is a choice. It is within your reach to start afresh and lead the kind of life that best nurtures your wellbeing. We offer the opportunity to learn about your innermost feelings, your spirit, and their connection with your external environment. Vikasa’s approach to wellness coaching enables people to develop, beginning with an underlying physical foundation, imparting evolution of the mind and spirit. In addition to learning, you will also have the chance to relax and enjoy your time in our tropical paradise: all packages include pampering with multiple treatments at the Vikasa Bliss Spa.
Our 6 lifestyle programs offered at Vikasa Yoga Retreat in Koh Samui are all unique. Each one has a specific approach to help you achieve a goal, whether its getting back on track or starting fresh with a shiny new lifestyle or beginning a journey into the world of yoga. Most of our programs are open to all people of all levels, the only exception being our Deepen program which is designed for moderate yoga practitioners who want to take their yoga practice to the next level.
How you perceive situations can meaningfully shape your life and the way you live it, and how this makes you feel. Choosing a positive mental outlook can help with all aspects of your life, but sometimes it can be challenging to be upbeat in a world saturated with negativity. You can shape your own environment; if you focus your energy into something, it will flourish and, in turn, it will help you evolve into a happier and more confident person. You can teach yourself to avoid thoughts of fear and frustration and believe in yourself and your goals, leading to success.
Being creative does not mean you have to possess outstanding talent. It only requires you surrender to the process of creating something new. By blocking out external distractions and devoting our attention to a task, simple or complex, we can live in the moment and contribute to our overall happiness. Learning to focus and create enables us to remove negative elements from our mind and enhance our overall wellbeing. Taking the time to visualise something, then to breathe life into it is rewarding and develops the ability to think clearly about the positive.
Environment, your surroundings, the ambiance, the aroma, the people near to you, the quality of air that you breathe, how these stimuli make you feel; they all affect your wellbeing whether or not you are conscious of it. You are always free to adapt better to your current environment and evolve to contribute to it. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory problems, lack of sunlight can lead to vitamin D deficiency. Restrictive belief systems and negativity in the media we consume can prevent personal growth and stop us from reaching our goals. Learn how to distinguish between influences build yourself a more positive environment.
While some find spirituality through organised religion, we prefer to define spirituality as self-awareness, following the guidance of our innermost essence. Spirituality can be the foundation for the pursuit of wisdom finding long-term peace with ourselves and those around us, providing a platform for us to process life’s challenges. We can learn how to remain clam in extreme situations and to make the best decisions that we can in such circumstances. It also teaches us empathy with our community. Spirituality provides the tools to make interpersonal connections more easily.
Many of us lead a sedentary existence, with limited opportunity to exercise and maintain a decent level of fitness. Modern life allows us to work, eat and live every day without any form of significant physical activity. A healthy body is closely linked to sound mental wellbeing; extensive research has shown the benefits of regular exercise with regard to anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Exercise can complement meditation and breathing techniques to improve quality of life. The Vikasa lifestyle is more than just exercise, but an active body is a key component.
The modern world and the demands placed on working people to strive to be successful can take a heavy toll on the body and mind, and saturation of negative messages doesn’t just increase anxiety, but can also mean negative self-image. It’s easy to feel like we will never have enough or have as much as other people we compare ourselves to. We believe a healthy relationship with resources is part of living a well-balanced life. Accepting that you deserve love as much as you deserve an abundance of health and wealth are crucial to feeling like your true self. You are enough. Just the way you are, where you are and who you are right now.
You are the only person that will invest enough time and love in yourself to create personal growth. If you have the motivation to develop yourself emotionally, then you can achieve anything. It can be challenging to maintain self-discipline, particularly when major lifestyle adjustments are required. To achieve our goals, we have to discard bad habits and stick to a routine that enforces positive decisions. The proper motivation and self-respect will make better choices habitual and natural. The more you value your wellbeing, the more likely you are to make better decisions for yourself.
The link between diet and health is backed by both eastern philosophy and the western healthcare industry alike. Do you find that after you eat, you are sleepy and have no energy? Perhaps you often experience indigestion, bloating, or heartburn? Instead of reacting to this situation with medicine, why not go to the root of the problem? It may be time to change what you are eating and how you consume it. Our nutrition programs such as Vitox, The Evolution of Detox, can help you feel the opposite after eating; light and full of energy, vibrant and even creativity.
Surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded people can help you to leave behind behaviour patterns that inhibit evolution of the self. Find your new ‘tribe’, a support network of people who share your aspiration to evolve. They will help you to make decisions that are best for you in your journey of personal development. You can contact them when things seem particularly difficult and provide support when they are having a tough day. It can be difficult to let go of lifestyle choices and groups of friends that do not support you in seeking to optimise your personal value system; it is more difficult to do this alone.
