October 5, 2003 Beautiful Post-Meditative Retreat On Mountain
Dear All,
Haven't yet written the other dream as it is quite long, but last night had a very short dream, or at least the important part is very short....after asking for self-confidence in my abilities as a healer and Reiki Master (as I had been having some doubts)...I dreamt a beautiful dream where I actually healed a great and well know healer who was invited to work with a large audience and was unable to use her energies...she collapsed in tears and I was asked to heal her, which I did...it was a wonderful dream and so real (I actually knew who the healer in the dream was but will keep it private for now)....I have stopped doubting my abilities and know I will be doing more and more once I get back from India...
When I woke up from this dream, there was an all white monkey on the tree right utside my window...wonder what it means?
Sunday., Ocotber 5th.
Today I feel like my vacation here is truly beginning. I am waiting for Taji for his lesson but have a feeling he will not show up and I am not disappointed at all (he didn't come and now I don't have t be the "bad" one and tell him I don't want to teach him anymore!)....The weather is amazing. I am wearing sandals and a new sleeveless top I bought with my jeans and the sun is VERY strong but glorious blue sky with not a single cloud in sight. It's been like this for a week already but yesterday and today have gotten warmer-fantastic cool breeze, like those fabulous middle of the winter surprise days in Israel when everyone rushes to sit in the sun. And if they happen over Shabbat, everyone is out picnicing and walking.
I feel so completely relaxed. Have done a little shopping and will now wait before I do any more and see how my money holds out. Up until now I've been spending nothing but food, rent and rickshaw and books. Now I bought a couple of nice bags and some clothes. Anyone who has been here knows it is a shopper's paradise, so NOT buying is difficult. The only other thing I'd like now is some jewelry but will see towards the end of the trip.
My right knee was really bothering me yesterday. Did lots of Reiki last night and this morning. I've been walking about 5 hours a day for the last 3-4 days. Not necessarily all UP and DOWN but also...and so today, as much as I would like going UP, I'll cool it or perhaps take a rickshaw up to Dharamkot and just walk across and visit Anil at the same time. I cannot resist these glorious mountains.
(1/2 hour later after coming back to room to pee)...I cannot resist...am going UP...my ankles have been twisting so I've gone back to my boots (yuck!)...and I hope my knees will be OK (bottom line...my knee seems fine after the following...guess the REiki did its job)...
I came up to Dharamkot, walking up the steep back road at my own pace with no problem, but Anil was not there....so I started out on the regular path and then decided to take the Triund road, not with intention of reaching the top, but just to check it out for awhile and see how I managed.
I am now sitting and resting and there is one lone monkey here. Just as I am here alone, if he was writing in his journal he'd be doing the same as me. He is sitting directly across from me and just looking at the view and resting. Guess all his friends have long moved up the trail and he is just as pleased as me to sit here and enjoy. I decided to try the Triund path-not to get to the top-just to walk it for awhile, and now I am sitting quite deep in the forest (went off the beaten path) and just enjoying. I don't need to get "to the top" to take pleasure in what these forests and mountains have to offer. Others may see a spectacular view today at the top, but how many of them truly enjoyed the journey up?
Walked a little more and then another place beckoned me. Walked a little down the slope and found a perfect place to sit. Began meditating without even realizing it and soon felt myself grow and become as one of the trees.
The soles of my feet and my root chakra were being flooded with "Earth" energy-as if roots have descended down into the earth itself drawing nourishment, my heart chakra with the living green energies from the trees and my crown chakra was as if it reached the "crowns" of the trees and was being flooded with loving bright white light energies from the sun (the Source). I don't know how long I stayed like that but I felt as if I had become rooted in the forest, one with the trees and yet expanding above and beyond. Then someone came and sat down near me-did not speak-and when I looked it was a local woman burndened down with an enormous mound of grass on her back. sitting down in silence as was I. Eventually she got up, doubled over under her load, and continued down the slope. I in turn was "summoned" by a tree and at first just touched it and felt it's energy and it soon "took" Reiki from me. We finally parted with a long hug!
Finished my walk down and then down from Dharmakot...so, I only walked about 2 1/1 huors so far today...Came down to the Japanese for lunch but for the second time forgot it was Sunday and it is closed. I imagine I have another hour or so walking today and then guess will rest. My knee seems fine today and the weather is so perfect it would be a sin to be indoors.
Met a really older western couple on my way down Tipa road from Dharamakot. They were surely well up in the 60's if not past 70. she was walking with a cane and seemed to have some left over damage on one side from a stroke or something...but they walked down VERY slowly, holding hands, and we greeted each other. When he said "and how are you today>?"...I said "Fine...but anyone walking around here can be nothing BUT "fine""....and they both laughed and hugged each other...They are obviously very much in love and completely enjoying life...beautiful!
Well, that's about it for today....my love to all....
