During the week-end of 14-15 March, I attended a Taichi Chuan week-end with Nello Mauro, who comes every 2 month from Sicily to teach some forms. We practiced in the main temple of the Buddhist monastery in Huy, Belgium. Gorgeous place, friendly people, and the quiet and silence is greatly appreciated, in the midst of the woods. The temple is a display of immense colors, everything has been handpainted by the buddhist Tibetan monks on-site, and practicing there was wonderful. The teacher had beautiful Taichi Chuan music in the background and made many of us have a great time of fun and practice. I am not a real tourist, more an explorer on a personal mission, however you ever want to visit a beautiful and serene place, I recommend you visit this monastery.
As I am living the realization of 'creating my own reality', and directing my intentions, I naturally land back in places where there is more stillness and inwardly oriented people. A Tibetan monastery is indeed a beautiful space with an open heart. I like the attributes of balance and harmony, and martial arts is my passion and foundation. Not just any martial art, but those founded on philosophy and deep wisdom, aka enlightenment. I had wonderful friendly conversations with other practitioners and it was good to connect during tea, coffee and food afterwards too.
The overall setting was perfect : the ambiance, the group of students (who mostly are teachers in their own town), the music, the connections, the weather, the humor, the physical practice and the on-site support. Super !
Now I moved a few hours up north to Den Helder in Holland, for a week of introspective sensing and experiencing. I am finding out quantum creation on my own, to see what I 'sing' into life and how I stand when in a different atmosphere with a different feeling. I am also following my own program to stay away from media influence, and right into direct life with people of the little town and synchronistic encounters. More on this little journey later.
