Awareness in motion…Shanghai

The beautiful green and lush surroundings of Chong Ming Island, just of Shanghai were the perfect set up for this 'Awareness in motion'. It was an invitation to stillness and silence and each participant took this invitation wholeheartedly and turned the focus inside intending to directly experience 'who is in'.
During these 3 days, the readiness to cut through layers of identification was no doubt prevailing and the courage to drop ideals, to let go of security was also very present. As self-denial and self-betrayal slowly gave way to truth, contented hearts and smiling faces started emerging. A 3-day course is indeed a short time, especially when one is new to self-enquiry, although a beginners' mind is more often a plus than a hindrance. Yet, the way towards our true nature, the way towards the empty heart – the 'Chan way' – as Chinese like to call it - certainly requires a little more time and dedication!
As for my own 'Shanghai experience', it turned out to be full of surprises for me. I've really enjoyed my stay in Shanghai, meeting new friends, learning more about Chinese teas and about 'relaxing' in massage salon. The art of tea and massage are really a Chinese must! Now is a time for me to rest and enjoy the coolness of Chiang Mai, Thailand. As well as practicing Chi Kung and learning the art of Chinese abdominal massage – Chi Nei Tsang.
I will be back in Shanghai in November to offer a 5-day 'Innocence regained'. It will be an opportunity for all willing hearts to reconnect with the innocence, with the childlike qualities that we are. Restoring and supporting the connection with the inner child is a vital and essential step on our path towards oneness.
