As we walk into consecrated spaces that have been set up intentionally for alignment — where nature, energy, and awareness meet — this remembering happens naturally. The space itself begins to balance our energy field, opening resistance, calming the mind, and returning our system into harmony. This is where transformation starts — not by force, but by resonance.

The 'I AM' Frequency: Returning to the Core of Being

Before mind begins to name things, before thought or feeling, there is awareness — boundless, quiet, infinite. This is the realm of "I AM." It is the awareness that observes your life occur — beyond the body, beyond the story. When we get into the vibration of this, healing is automatic because we stop identifying with the part that suffers.

Every healing tradition, from ‘energy healing therapy’, ‘chakra activation’, to ‘quantum healing’, tries to realign us to this core awareness. The nervous system relaxes, the energy channels open up, and intuition is heightened. We begin operating not out of survival or fear, but out of the intelligence of presence itself.

The "I AM" field resonates beyond duality. It is not light against darkness but the backdrop on which both exist. When tapped into, it invokes a feeling of neutrality and compassion — the realization that all experiences, even suffering, have been the soul's growth.

In this vessel, we relinquish attempts to heal ourselves and begin ‘witnessing’ ourselves — lovingly, inquiringly, fully. That witnessing pierces conditioning more rapidly than any other method because it returns us to truth.

 "When you remember who you are, healing is not something you do — it's what naturally happens."

The Science of Sacred Containers

There is more to energy than eyes can see or fingers touch. All places, objects, and animals emit a frequency. When frequencies harmonize with one another, they create what modern science calls ‘coherence’ — a state where energies work together rather than oppose.

In spiritual settings — temples, retreats, nature sanctuaries — the energy field is intentionally structured for coherence. The architecture, vibration, and atmosphere are designed to create an energetic resonance that promotes healing and awakening.

When individuals gather in these spaces with a shared intention, their collective frequency increases. This is ‘group energy healing’ — the law that the combined vibration of numerous hearts united concerted in unity is exponentially stronger than one's own.

Scientific studies of meditation and group coherence have shown measurable changes in electromagnetic fields, reduced stress hormones, and increased heart-rate variability — all indicators of physiological equilibrium. But beyond proof, something more intangible happens: people feel held. The spirit feels safe, and in safety, it uncovers.

You are no longer isolated carrying your transformation in a sacred container. The field holds you.

Why Environment Shapes Consciousness

Most spiritual seekers forget how deeply the environment affects their state of being. Just as the physical body absorbs nourishment from eating, the energy body absorbs vibration from what one is exposed to. Harsh light, noise, or city madness can constrict our subtle field; nature can liberate it.

Earth energy grounds us, sending us skyward are lifts, water cleanses us, and fire transforms us. Used consciously in spiritual discipline, they align our frequency. That is why ancient cultures went on retreats in nature — mountain, forest, or beside holy rivers — where the Earth's magnetic field supports wakefulness.

A ‘spiritual retreat’ can be potent when it honors this wisdom. It is not a mental retreat but a soul sojourn — a return to simplicity, silence, and sacred rhythm.

Sohum Retreat: A Living Energy Field

With this vision, Sohum Retreat was conceived as something more than a retreat — it is a multi-dimensional energy field for remembrance. From February 26 – March 1, 2026, at Ojas Retreat Center, Murrieta, California. Sohum is thoughtfully organized to enable participants to access the "I AM" state via meditation, sound, and ceremony.

Each day is structured like an energetic symphony:

• Day One: Arrival & Attunement — grounding into presence and letting go of the weights of daily life.

• Day Two: Deep Release — releasing ancestral, emotional, and energetic patterns through quantum energy practices.

• Day Three: Cosmic Alignment — under the starry night sky, participants align with higher frequencies via stargaze meditation and breath.

• Day Four: Integration & Rebirth — locking in the energy through movement, gratitude, and quiet.

Every experience is charged in nature — sunrise meditation, earth walks, and firelight ceremonies. The retreat occurs during a special cosmic moment when planetary energies in their natural cycles make renewal and alignment possible — a deep time to recharge one's energetic map.

The space itself, which is cloaked in the silence of Ojas, is an amplifier for the soul's awakening. And most who attend neither refer to it as a retreat nor a vacation, but as a ‘homecoming’ — returning to the holy center within.

The Healing Power of Coherence

At the center of change is coherence — when mind, body, and spirit sing together in harmony. Sohum experience is all about coherence through breathing, sound, and guided meditations that activate the electromagnetic field of the heart.

In coherence, the nervous system relaxes, emotions happen effortlessly, and intuition deepens. Coherence also creates group synergy — if one individual vibrates at a higher frequency, it subtly lifts all around.

This is mirroring the way awareness itself evolves: not in the individual, but within the field. As every one of the players awakens to their inner truth, the group field radiates brighter — extending ripples of healing well beyond the boundaries of the retreat.

“When hearts align in stillness, the entire field becomes a mirror of divinity.”

Integrating the 'I AM' in Everyday Life

The real transformation occurs after the retreat — when the divine rhythm of awareness becomes the permeating pattern of everyday life. Integration ensures that the higher states accessed in the retreat become a living mode of being.

Start small:

• Begin your days with three conscious breaths before reaching for your phone.

• Root yourself in nature — stand barefoot on the earth, feel its pulse, let it regulate your energy.

• Repeating mantras or affirmations like Sohum — I AM THAT to keep the energy of the retreat with you throughout the day.

• Watching your reactions, and when the old habits arise, pause and breathe into the witness space.

Through these moments of being, which are also known as micro-moments, you begin living in the "I AM" field wherever you are — at work, in relationships, or in solitude. Life is meditation, and meditation is life.

A Return to the Infinite

The journey of the soul feels like a search — but, as it turns out, it is really remembering. We are not here to become more; we are here to let go of what holds us back from who we are. The "I AM" is not something to achieve — it never left.

When we gather in sacred energy, in the presence of nature and with intention, the remembrance is simpler. The veil between the finite and the infinite dissolves.

Sohum — a Sanskrit mantra that means “I AM THAT” — encapsulates this entire path. It is the soul's voice that understands itself. Sohum Retreat offers a space where this understanding is a living process — where you do not just know consciousness; you become it.

 When consciousness abides in itself, all things become sacred. The trees, the stars, the silence — all whisper, 'I AM.'
