Ready for Change?
I’ve returned from my 10 day silent retreat. How was it? Well, AMAZING! And I’d like to share some of my experience with you.
The teacher was S.N. Goenka. He called the 10 days, “a surgery on the mind”. We were going in and doing some deep work, meditating for 10 hours a day with teachings every evening. Our day started at 4:30am and ended at 9:00pm.
I love hanging out with my great nieces and nephews and children in general. They are so real (no filters), so silly and so much fun!
They are fully present. They aren’t worried about the past or the future. They express how they feel. When they are sad, they are sad. When they are happy, they are happy. It's so refreshing.
It doesn't matter how old I am when September rolls around I still get that 'back to school' feeling.
I remember being excited about the first day of school - to see all of my friends, having new school supplies and a brand new outfit to wear.
Was I excited about learning? Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. But the learning still happened!
