A Spiritual Approach to Healing - Online Retreat
con Alain Beauregard
May 3 - 4, 2025
Tibetan Buddhists often consider a major disease like cancer to be a wake-up call. When we look at some of the deeper aspects of our being, like spirituality and decide to radically change the way we have been living so far, it may be possible to heal our entire being.
During this retreat held by our teacher Alain Beauregard, we will explore the path of healing from a spiritual and emotional perspective, based on Alain’s own experience of healing his terminal cancer. Some questions and four main themes we will explore:
Can we help our healing with our mind? What are the different approaches and how to understand them?
- Our fundamental nature – a source of healing
- Meditation – a practice to heal our being
- Discovering the source of love within ourselves – to accept and become friends with ourselves
- Visualizing and invoking – another way to heal our being
Practices such as meditation, compassion and visualization can help us to understand and actualize the transformative potential of illnesses as we face the different treatments we may have to undergo while fighting a disease.
This approach introduces a holistic view on the topic of healing that allows us to deal with all physical, mental, and emotional suffering. It considers healing from the perspective of our entire being, not just the body. Whether the body dies or not, one can still live a profound experience of healing, hence being better prepared for death.
