Loving Grace
Arunanchula, Tiruvanamali the main retreat location has for centuries been the
site chosen by enlightened sages and saints.
The energetic vibration is extraordinary and will pull you toward your inner depths, magnifying your divinity and significantly accelerating your progress.
​
"Grace is always present.
You imagine it is something somewhere high in the sky and has to descend. It is really inside you,
in your Heart, and the moment you effect subsidence or merger of the mind into its Source, grace gushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you."
Ramana Maharshi

What Happens
A Typical Day on Retreat
Teaching Method
And Focus
The overall intention: is to expand and deepen your moment to moment awareness of spiritual reality, of your own true nature; the perfection of ‘who you already are’.
The method: Both practical skills and the relevant spiritual information will combine to AWAKEN a deeper and more fulfilling experience of your soul. In awakening your spiritual awareness doorways to the sublime nature of spiritual reality will gently open. Learning to drop attention into the heart you will let go the grip of the outer senses; which will encourage a letting go of the limitations of earthly reality.
Thanks to Lynne’s extensive experience as a mediation teacher you will receive specific meditations that will underpin and bring together your overall process.
The personal level: You will receive individual Soul Guidance to identify your karmic lessons which will guide the expansion of your conscious awareness. In group work sessions you will be assisted to AWAKEN to moment to moment awareness of these energetic patterns and provided with skills to resolve them. Being together consciously, is the basis for soul based relationships (Soul Community), which we long for.
Morning
Early morning meditations and teaching - the corner stone for your day:
Meditations will at times be guided and at other times you will be given instructions for personal meditations. Meditations and practical exercises will take place in a variety of locations.
Lynne’s deep connection to Arunanchula will guide you to the perfect locationthat will enhance the particular intention of each meditation/exercise. Some examples: on the rooftop taking in the vibration of Arunanchula, in a temple on the mountainside, in a cave, by a mystical waterfall…..
Breakfast - We have breakfast together.
After Breakfast
Take part in activities chanting etc at Ramana Ashram or local temples.
Hang out and chat with other retreatants and locals at the corner chai/coffee stalls then head home!
Lunch and Afternoons
As the days are hot and the shifts and changes in energy and consciousness can make you tired, the rest of the day you are free to cruise the colourful and stimulating local environment, try out the many eateries for lunch or snacks, chat, rest, sleep and absorb.
Dinner - We have dinner together.
After Dinner
The evening programme varies depending on what has arisen during the day and levels of energy etc. Some examples: Teachings, Q&A, personal Soul Guidance and group work, sharing, chanting or free time.
Silence
Some days will be in silence. Allowing you to:
-
Enter into an expanded awareness and soften into being at one with Divine Source (God, Infinite Spirit, The Absolute….)
-
Tap into the source of Love and Grace.
-
Quieten the outer senses and enter into the heart of hearts. Calm and stillness.
-
Rest deeply into Divine Presence, into that which you already are.
You will learn how to rest deeply, to do nothing, to be nothing to simply soften into love and grace.
-
Focus on your personal healing programme as guided by Lynne.

Lynne's Experience
of Arunanchula
“After many years travelling the globe as a teacher and student, in 2019, it was blatantly obvious that I must go, go now to Arunanchula. I was profoundly affected by my time on and around the sacred mountain, Arunanchula.
My passion surged and my awareness of Divine Source and of being At-One with All That Is, exploded into immense love that flooded into every fibre of my being.
The bliss from my connection with the vibration of Bhagavan (see Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi below) and the immense grace and wisdom from Arunanchula has changed my life forever. Much to my delight and relief, once I returned to New Zealand my connection to Bhagavan and Arunanchula, to Loving Grace, has continued to deepen. Every day it influences and guides my life. I am extremely blessed and grateful.
It is now time to share the teachings and practices that led to my exceptional experiences, with you. Hence The AWAKEN To Loving Grace Retreat was created.”
