Hello everyone,
great experience, Rox... thanks for sharing it with all of us... I do like silence from time to time - to the point of using earplugs in an attempt to lower the volume of daily sounds...

I am thrilled that you're making contact with this friend of yours from years ago. If he is anything like my inner friend, He is always there in a supportive counselor role when the situation requires; we only have to ask.

I attempted to leave a blank message to get in the spirit of the message, but technology as it is does note permit empty comment boxes... (sigh)

Until that time... Earl J.

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

And just what I needed to hear today.

Thank you.

This sounds like a really nice thing! I'm encouraged to give it a 24 hour try. I live alone and often just sit in complete silence knitting and absolutely love it. There's just not enough quiet to the days anymore!

@Celeste - I can relate to the book thing! It is so freeing to connect directly with this larger body of knowledge and power rather than believing in the need for others - who really became gate-keepers as much as anything. (My own doing to be sure,)

This is one of my favorite episodes you've done. You've made me think seriously about the fact that I'm one of those people who buys too many books searching for answers to the big questions.
Thanks for telling us about your experience.

@Bob from Canada - The whole time = silence. We did eat together, and do activities together, though no eye contact or other communication. I did not read anything or watch TV. I explained to the hotel staff in advance, that I would not be talking. We passed notes one nite when I couldn't find the laundry room. I took long walks on the ranch land, so we were physically active, but not verbally active. The experience was energizing - though we slept a lot too. At the end? Marvelous.

@Susan and my dog Lexie - You are correct - this trip was much farther than Bali and Hong Kong! Wonderful observation. It did leave me not wanting to speak for quite a while though.

It is good to keep outward things from befuddling the inward being! Thank you for sharing your recent experience, gaining new insights and clarity from your inward journey. Sounds like you went farther than Bali or Hong Kong this time

Hope your Lexi is mending well and that we'll see her again soon. Mahalo for sharing your upbeat energy with us. It is very much appreciated!!

that is so cool...I wasn't aware of that program and it sounds like a form of meditation....was this for the entire time you were there or for parts of a day?...example what did you do for entertainment or dinner?....did you feel energized/emotional?..or was it draining...anyway it sounds like a great experience and thanks for sharing
