Have you already set your new year’s resolutions? You’re still on time! But instead of choosing resolutions you most probably won’t follow through the whole year, why not give them a yogic twist and set a Sankalpa (intention) instead. Dig deeper this year to find a genuine purpose!
What Is A Sankalpa?
A Sankalpa is a positive resolve usually made before a yoga practice or meditation. It’s a commitment you make to yourself but the main difference with a New Year’s resolution is that a Sankalpa starts from the radical premise that you already are who you need to be to be happy or to reach your Dharma.
How to set an Intention?
To discover your Sankalpa, you must listen and observe. Ask yourself what is essential that you become or achieve to fulfil your highest purpose or what you want to bring to the world. Be present, look inward and you will find your heartfelt desire. Once you know what your intention is, try to rephrase it so it’s short and easy to remember. It should always be stated in the present tense.
Incorporate your Sankalpa in your daily life: Use it as a mantra during Pranayama, write it down in your journal, stick it on your fridge, repeat it before going to sleep. Change doesn’t happen overnight but if you stick to your resolve, you will soon see the benefits of this practice.
Of course, a Sankalpa is deeply personal. Try and find your real heartfelt desire and make a resolve out of it. Be also aware that your resolution might evolve over time. You can also step back and start over the process to find a Sankalpa that is really meaningful now.
In this 7 days retreat,, we will do an arrival/landing in the physical body, rejuvenate the body with some mobility and kriyas. After that we do some breathwork and pranayama practices to recharge the energetic body and emotional body. Once the physical body and emotion/energies are harmonised, we will do a contemplation by writing in words which the part of yourself to be purified and will be burnt afterwards. Thereafter writing your Sankalpa that will be offered to river/ocean as water brings life and flows the energy of your Sankalpa further.
