17.6.2008 Fly baby fly…I 'm sitting at the breakfast table with Jamey, in silence. That may be a hard one to believe but since the group had the talk about having silent moments built into the day and the clean up schedule, there seems to be something odd going on. There is no Whitestripes or Madonna playing at the background but the washing machine turning…I'm not quite sure if this was the aim of the talk yesterday but certainly has become the result of i...

16.6.2008 Gone with the fairies Wow, no idea what happened today but somehow my mind was definitely in a wonderland far far away from here. I started at 5am with meditation and then practised at 6am.

13.6.2008 Swami made us cry We had our last session with Swami and had Prasad given to us at the end which was rose petals and mini chocolate bars. And the idea behind it was that all the teaching; the words have certain vibrations as well as a meaning.
