AAO- Arrive At Origin- Day 7

Day 7: Travel Unlimited – The Freedom of Silence

Message by Dr. Alka Chopra Madan

By Day 7 of the workshop, you may start noticing the powerful effects of observing silence. Many people experience this shift around the sixth or seventh day of the practice. You will feel that you’ve arrived at a place of home. But this “home” doesn’t feel strange or new; rather, it feels natural and familiar. It’s the feeling of being comfortable in your own skin, a place where you can simply be whoever you want to be.

This is a natural state of being—a place of freedom. We often get trapped in the roles we’ve created for ourselves, believing that we have to behave according to the identity we’ve built. But in silence, you begin to let go of these identities and discover that you are not limited to any one version of yourself.

You may ask yourself, “Who am I?” and the answer that comes is both surprising and liberating: “I am nothing, but I can become anything.” It’s like reaching the end of a play and looking behind the curtain. What you find is nothingness, and yet, this nothingness brings relief and freedom. It means you can release your old identity and take on a new one whenever you choose. You start to see that life is like a role you can play, and you have the choice to step in or step out of it.

Once you experience this, you begin to think about what you want to become next, or what role you want to play. Silence gives you the freedom to explore these possibilities.

Spirituality: A Simple and Joyful Path

Another important point to remember is the real meaning of spirituality. Many people believe that spirituality means becoming serious or different in some way. But this is a big misconception. The truth is, when you embrace spirituality, you don’t become a different person. You simply become more you—more natural, more at peace, and more free.

Spirituality doesn’t require you to act differently or lose your individuality. In fact, it makes you feel like a more simple, normal person. And in today’s world, this simplicity is a luxury.

Looking Ahead: Our Future Events

As we wrap up this 7-day journey together, we’re excited to offer more opportunities for growth and self-discovery:

• We’ll be hosting a ‘Silence Retreat’ for one full day (7 hours), allowing you to deepen your experience of silence and connect with yourself on a more intense level.
• We’re also launching a ‘Soul Body Fitness Program’, a unique program that combines physical fitness with self-reflection. It’s not just about getting fit; it’s about exploring the choices you’ve made for your body and understanding the connection between mind and body.

We invite you to continue this journey with us. Through silence, self-exploration, and letting go of old identities, you will discover the endless possibilities within yourself.

This workshop has helped you realize that you are free to be who you truly are and to become anything you wish. You are not bound by any past role or identity. The silence has given you the freedom to choose your next path. We hope you carry this sense of freedom with you as you continue your journey forward.
