Hello everyone! Im out and renewed from my meditation retreat! Some more detailed info coming soon but a quick update for now: the monk life is NOT easy...but the wisdom and the overall experience after having a short time to digest it all afterwards is definitely worth it all. An interesting thing to experience in life for sure. I had a rough 2nd day were hours seemed to make me feel a bit psychiatric but then you overcome this period (apparently normal) and things slowly change. When thinking about it, it was scary but Im also glad it happened. I did just a short period in there but it was life changing and satisfying in so many ways. So many thoughts and lessons to chew in my mind in the upcoming days. Now ready to depart to Bangkok after having one of the best lunch times so far (Khao Soi: a traditional northern thai dish) and also after having one of the best thai massages so far. Given by the kind lady in the pic down here. A long and beautiful journey by train awaits. It will last 15 hours while at a super comfortable sit/bunk bed like Ive never seen before on an overnight train. Thailand is out of this world! Life feels light and glossy right now and I hope yours is too. Like my monk teacher said: Its all in your mind and in your inside. Learn to care for your inside as much (or more) as you care for the outside. And you will be a light in the world. This Asian leg of this current trip is coming to a gorgeous end soon after spending some more days in Bangkok. But not over yet because the UK is next! Cheers and much love for you all, Mariana - from Chiang Mai :)
