QUIET RETREAT

Submitted by tahiyak on Thu, 01/19/2012 - 17:59

I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM THE LAM RIM RETREAT IN PRESCOTT WHICH WAS ONCE AGAIN AMAZING.  IT SURPRISES ME EACH TIME BY BEING SO DIFFERENT ENERGETICALLY THAN THE ONE BEFORE.  I GUESS MY KARMA SHIFTS DRASTICALLY IN BETWEEN, PERHAPS FROM SERVING THE RETREAT.  COMING HOME IS ALWAYS SUCH A PLEASURE AND I COULD FEEL THE DEPTH OF QUIET HERE AFTER BEING OUT IN THE WORLD AND AMONG SO MANY PEOPLE.  FUNNY, PROBABLY MOST PEOPLE SAW THE RETREAT AS SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD AND A BREAK FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE BUT FOR ME IT WAS A STEP UP IN BUSY-NESS AND DEFINITLY AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR STIRRING UP THINGS FOR SELF REFLECION. 

  DM, ON THE OTHER HAND,  IS DEFINITLY PEACEFUL. HERE YOUR OWN MIND IS MOST OF THE NOISE.  WE ARE NOW THOUGH GEARING UP FOR THE QUIET RETREAT TEACHINGS AND PEOPLE HAVE BEGUN TO ARRIVE AND JOIN US IN MORNING MEDITATION AND PRANAYAMA PRACTICE.  THIS MORNING YOGA WAS DONE OUTSIDE, IN THE SUN, ON THE PLATFORM ON WHICH STOOD THE NECTAR LOUNGE.  THE DAYS ARE SO WARM AND BEAUTIFUL.

Tahiya Dear, Precious Angel :)

It's so wonderful to read your latest news and find out what's happening at DM. Thank you for your posts. We plan to be at one of the GR Teachings one day and are saving up for that :)
In the meantime, we send you all our love and prayers as the teachings begin and as you all continue to serve so beautifully.
Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration to us.

I'm listening to the LR3 retreat teachings now and transcribing class three. Amazing!

take care and lots of love, hugs & kisses,
