Using the information and contemplation from Continuity of Consciousness Part I, we will  engage techniques to establish greater continuity of consciousness throughout one's day. The lecture component of the retreat will focus on how to recognize distraction in its subtle as well as coarse forms. With that increased recognition, personal reasons for these patterns will be discovered as well as antidotes to them.

The meditation component will include:

• deep mindfulness
  
• meditations on the radiance of pure Being and the Soul as its expression
  
• meditation with the chakras as the thresholds of discontinuity or continuity of consciousness. 
  

This retreat, then, focuses on how to establish more continuity with one’s consciousness. The goal is that the participant will gain aptitude with the techniques of mindfulness offered such that a more vibrant consistent daily Awareness will result. The benefits of this to self and others will become obvious as one lives their life. Additionally, the refinement of the vibration of one's outer life is necessary for the recognition of the more subtle levels of consciousness’s continuity. These levels include those during dream and sleep as well as the dying process. These subjects were engaged somewhat theoretically and in contemplation in Continuity of Consciousness Part 1. In Part 2, deeper layers of conscious awareness will be included in the training offered at this retreat.

Over the years, people have asked me, “how does one prepare for death?” My response is usually two-fold: a) there are practices from multiple traditions that prepare one’s mind-stream for death or change; and b) one’s life is the preparation for death. It is so because life is the arena for constant unpredictable change. Preparing the consciousness for death is done through engaging awareness repeatedly through life.      - Donna
