Manava Retreats

Manava Retreats My vision is to develop a deep relaxation retreat service in a naturalnresort for defence force personnel with occupational stress conditions.

Manava Retreats is an integrative therapeutic retreat service. We are planning to locate this service at a fabulous mountain location in Gold Coast Hinterland. We are developing this therapeutic retreat project based on an integrated bio-psycho-social model of deep relaxation therapies.

My own work.

The mind inhabits the body like a visitor in a house. Whatever the body encounters, it is the mind that sees, hears, smells, tastes or feels it. Once the mind has gone, the body is just a co**se. It doesn't care whether it is praised or insulted. It feels no pleasure when it is wrapped in brocade, no pain when it is burned. By itself, the body is an object not essentially different from a lump of earth or stone. And when body and mind separate, speech, which has been somewhere in between, disappears too, like a vanishing echo. Of body, speech and mind, mind is what counts, and it is to the mind that the dharma must be applied.
