I am very refreshed! Yesterday was a fantastic day of self and self. I listened to more Abraham and 'meditated' over the magnificent movie Cloud Atlas. For me at least, meditation doesn't necessarily have to be sitting cross legged in silence (or with music), breathing and letting go of all thought. I like to think that whenever your mind and body and spirit are aligned and purely focused on something (either neutral or positive in nature), you are releasing all resistance by letting your mind and vibrational cork float up to who you really are.
I adore the ridiculous intricacy of Cloud Atlas (the film by The Wachowskis and Tom Twyker)- it is 6 stories across 6 time periods in history and how the actions of one can send ripples across time and space and how relationships are eternal- with the same actors playing different parts in the different time frames to represent the same soul. Anyhoo, in addition to having my most favourite soundtrack EVER, it is incredibly complex so you really have to pay attention to every word being said. It really is a form of meditation for me.
A number of people in my groups don't find meditation very easy. I'd say keep on working on that as it is a powerful tool, but also look for opportunities to do wonderful activities which draw you into the moment. Art, music, sport, cookery- whatever floats your boat. It's hard to be worried about something like your partner bugging you and to not be fully focused in the moment, when you're in charge of a football and being chased across the field by 10+ people! So work out what works for you- as always, that is our message!
Today was in Nha Trang and I walked around for a bit (after being accosted by taxi drivers and what not). And bumped into more wonderful people, one of them was a librarian and the other did clay sculpture- absolutely amazing work from his pics. I am just appreciating the constant diversity and fantastic people I am meeting.
I followed them and we ended up walking around the local streets, seeing the natives in their own environment. We saw the villagers fish for sea urchin and the small shops and amusement places. Amazing- Facebook has made its way into the lives of the young over here! The children are so adorable- reminds me of my nephew back at home.
I do appreciate the contrast of being here and the life we have in the west. Some of the houses we saw, were quite literally in the sea (or at least just a few steps away), just held in up by wooden bits. I would imagine a huge wave could easily wipe it out with one hard slap of nature's hand!
Anyhoo, do your best to enjoy your beingness whenever you are, whatever you're doing.
Happy meditating!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
