testimonials
After leaving Blue Spirit: one moment, one day….When I returned home to Portland, one day under stress…my chanting mantra appeared before my struggles…..floating like a cloud, calming and centering me…it just happened so abruptly and at the right moment. I now have a new perspective of the work we are doing…meditating, listening, being calm, accepting and observing the changes.
I appreciate the energy Karuna poured into the program and all of us while always holding the integrity of this time bound practice and getting it right. Examples: meditative chanting walks, doing Watsu among the challenging waves, finishing final ceremony among those bats 😩 and finding a good spot in Nicaragua to do our meditative kriya to get rid of bad karma.
Karuna is so miraculous; she is able to tap in so deeply, that she not only makes your individual experience special, but the culture she creates with the group truly makes for a remarkable experience and elevation of mind, body, and soul. All of this, plus the beauty and lush surroundings, and highly nutritious, amazing food of the Blue Spirit Resort in Costa Rica couldn’t be a better combination.
Through Karuna’s powerful instruction and gentle guidance of the teachings, I began to peek at the seat of serenity in my soul. Through the cleansing of the warm, salty, wavy, alive oceans near the resort, my heart began to beat a little lighter and happier. Through the fresh, prana-rich meals prepared by the wonderful staff, I began to feel replenished.
