Vipassana Retreat Wat Kow Tham
Blijf op de hoogte en volg Sven
26 Augustus 2018 | Thailand, Ko Pha-Ngan
A beautiful woman is sitting on a rock, in front of her the view over koh Phangan, Koh Samui and in the distant many other islands. Behind her, the piece of land she owns in the hills between the rainforest. She's calm and peaceful in mind, sending her gratitude to the hectic life running down the streets of Thongsala.
She walks through her land, many vegetables and fruits are growing here. To each one of them she's sending Love, blessing them. She starts putting new seeds in the ground and before she does so, she chants a little mantra which is about being grateful for the earth and all it's nutrients, that the sky may drop the purest water on the seeds and that the seeds may sprout and grow into beautiful plants which nourish the people that are going to eat them. Then she walks to the little water stream just besides her land, never before she started sending gratitude to this water. Surprisingly enough she starts to notice a change in the water, it feels different and after a while she sees a gentle white healing aura appearing and as the water is flowing down the white energy goes with it. The plants next to the river immediately radiate a different energy and the colours look more bright. Curiously she walks back to the view point and she sees how the small stream is connecting with the bigger river which is streaming to the ocean. The river begins to radiate the same white energy around it and surprisingly enough this continues when it flows into the ocean. First slowly and then quicker and quicker the energy spreads to the horizon, beyond Koh Samui and towards the other islands. She can only imagine how much this Love will do for the animals in the ocean. The water will vaporize and fall down on mother earth again spreading the Love there as well.
The power of Metta meditation spreading our Love and Kindness to our surroundings, the people, plants, animals and into the whole universe.
This beautiful visualisation came to me during one of the walking meditations of the Vipassana retreat I did.
Many lessons came, it was hard work from time to time. So grateful for this opportunity to observe my ego, thoughts, body and emotions in a beautiful and peaceful surrounding at meditation centre Wat Kow Tham. It's amazing how much more wisdom there is available within the silence. The spoken word carries a lot of knowledge, yet through experience we gain wisdom!
P.S. Travelling with Lotte is amazing! We're having a great time, finding our way of traveling together. On our way to Laos for the next two weeks
Wishing you a beautiful day
And sending love and kindness to you all
Namaste Sven
