Our 2024 Theme
Healing
Each year, Shambhavi chooses a theme for us to learn about, contemplate, practice with, and embody. Jaya Kula’s theme for 2024 is “healing.”
THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF HEALING: COMMUNITY, KINDNESS, HONESTY, AND TIME
A MESSAGE FROM SHAMBHAVI, JAYA KULA’S SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR
Greetings!
The cornerstones of healing are community, kindness, honesty, and time.
Healing cannot take place outside of the context of community. Communities have birthed modalities of healing throughout time and around the world. Communities create crucibles for drawing the strength and nourishment needed to heal. Community is so important to healing, that current addiction studies identify the presence of community to be the single most effective “ingredient” for recovery.
Kindness is a powerful universal medicine. Other medicines delivered without kindness cannot show their full effects. Given the right conditions, kindness can reverse lifetimes of karma.
Honesty protects our immune system and supports our body, energy, and mind to deeply relax and complete the journey to universal love.
Medicine as fixing deals in symptoms. Medical systems based on the five elements find root imbalances and correct them. Healers from any tradition work with time and can reverse patterns of ill health.
Let’s explore healing together in our sadhana and in retreat during 2024!
with infinite love,
Shambhavi
