What is a mindfulness-based retreat?

A mindfulness-based retreat uses any of mindfulness, meditation, or yoga, or any mix of them, to create mindfulness. Essentially, all these activities activate meditative states of mind, quieten your mind, de-stress, relax, generate inner peace, & more. These techniques have been proven to work & reinforce each other.

See below for more about the many other proven benefits of this type of retreats, and how they do what they do.

What to wear to a meditation retreat?

Unless there’s a special request, wear what you want to a meditation retreat, so long as it is comfortable for sitting and lying. So loose or stretchy is useful. No particular colour is normally required.

Flametree’s retreats are for normal people who just want the many meditative benefits they deliver. Whether you’re considering a meditation retreat Melbourne, or whatever, please consider the Flametree Bali Indonesia meditation retreats option, (including yoga), proven by our student reviews.

The daily retreat schedule

In brief, you do pranayama meditation before breakfast, with time off after breakfast. Then, some very doable, active yoga before lunch (adjusted for whatever is a level suitable for you).

After lunch, there are several hours where you can rest, swim, walk, shop locally, talk with your teacher, or whatever.

After that, in the late afternoon, you do a mix of easy restorative yoga and pranayama meditation.

On 3 evenings, there are one hour presentations by the retreat teacher. If you wish, see a typical retreat schedule. (The final version of it will be adjusted as appropriate for the particular retreat you attend).

In case you’re wondering, the yoga is used to quieten your mind. Then, the meditation is more effective.

So, that’s why this meditation and mindfulness retreat, is created as a Bali Indonesia meditation retreats package, including yoga.

Mindfulness meditation yoga retreat Australia region

What is the difference between mindfulness and meditation?

The difference between mindfulness and meditation is minimal or none! They’re powerful & delightful states of mind where certain brain waves are more dominant than normal. So, you get all the many benefits of mindfulness meditation, pranayama, & yogic techniques.

Mindfulness meditation can be learnt and practised in courses, or retreats, or both. The key to making the meditative practices work for you, is to do ideally do it at least daily.

It can also be done twice a day. But, if you can only do a 20 to 30 minute session a few times a week, then it will still give you a good amount of the benefits outlined below.

Of course, when you go on a retreat, you can both learn mindfulness meditation techniques, and intensively practice them for several days. Therefore, retreats intensify the benefits, help address any particular conditions you want, and generally have you feel wonderful.

In addition, at a mindfulness meditation retreat, you can more easily minimise normal distraction, and get guidance from a certified mindfulness meditation teacher. So, all this is part of why retreats are so effective.

Restorative yoga to help quieten your mind, de-stress, & more

How much is a meditation retreat?

Meditation retreat cost depends on length, amount & quality of teaching, package deals, location, & what’s included (especially meals & accommodation options). The best deals will likely be all inclusive (except fares & transfers), offer a range of packages, & be in a cost effective, but wonderful, location.

So look for those key factors. In particular, the expertise of a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, and the mindfulness meditation techniques they teach, are critical in determining how quickly and effectively the meditative and yogic practices will work for you.

If the techniques are not working for you yet, then either you’ve not been taught correctly, or not doing it properly, or getting the right guidance, or practising the techniques enough.

Remember, mindfulness meditation and pranayama techniques are proven by millions, over millennia. Plus, scientific research, as also outlined further below, has proven their multiple benefits. So, persist, and go on a retreat to focus, as well as to be able to easily access a certified mindfulness meditation teacher for daily and additional guidance.

Your brain at our (winter) meditation retreat

As a result of a (winter) meditation retreat, or at any other time, or whenever you’re doing plenty of meditation, some of your brain waves will become more dominant.

In turn, that generates the type of benefits outlined above, including in the sattvic mind slides linked to in the previous section.

In addition, it also reduces other states of mind that you may want reduce or eliminate, such as anxiety, panic, stress, and more.

How a meditation and mindfulness retreat affects brain waves

The diagram is based on decades of research on the impact of mindfulness meditation.

Even though sages like Patanjali could not analyse brain waves in this manner, what he observed corresponds very well with the meditative brain waves shown in the diagram.
