I know many of you are curious about my daily routine; I think I gave you a brief, bird's eye view in the last post but to be more specific. It's arduous with all the chanting and meditation, two hours both am and pm starting at 5.30 am and ending at 10.00 pm. BUT the presenters have been fantastic. We have had an interfaith panel over the last few days as well as musicians from all parts of the world playing music for us and now there is a creative writing and yoga and creativity special event. It is busy! This is the busiest time of the year as the weather is lovely. I just got back from a swim in the Sea and it was so wonderful! Usually I walk on the beach after my workday but today I swam and was so glad I did! The weather here is cooler than usual, when we talk in the morning for ameditation walk on the beach I wear my fleece and toque! The wind is cool. But most of the time we are in casual, cool clothes and eating and living outside.
All in all the life is good here; today I prepared 40 bouquets of flowers and 40 small packages of three fruits for the teacher trainees who will be graduating and getting their spiritual names tomorrow. It is lovely to watch these new teachers grow and develop and talk to them about all their experiences while they have been here. Tonite I had a meal with a young woman from Russia and her friend from Ottawa (her father is from Napanee!). It is a small world.
This morning (think 7.00 to 8.00 am) we had a lecture from Dr Joe Dispenza and he talks about our brain and how we can use meditation and visualization to create the life we want. I am impressed, loved his presentation and plan to read his book. Check out his website formore info.
Am planning on having some body work done here, perhaps a thai yoga massage, there are great therapists. But daily yoga keeps me limber and I feel very well and healthy. The food is nutritious and delicious. I still have to get over to Nassau (by short boat ride) to explore there ... perhaps in my next blog???
Hope no one has too much snow to shovel. The beach is lovely here.
