As I told some of my friends I had a workshop with Christopher Hansard a master physiscian of Bon medicine. The workshop was about a new start and a really interesting experience. Weird enough the feeling afterwards was – just like before the workshop – rather undefinable (and maybe that’s the way it is supposed to be). And still, when trying to put words on it I have troubles describing it. In any case I really can recommend it to anybody who has the chance.
The topic itself about the new start was in my first thought not so appropriate for me since I felt that my new start (with blankening the blackboard) was happening since a couple of months, mostly kicked off by his book but also by the experiences made with love. Actually I now somehow feel like I am back at the point where I was around 2001/2002 (when reading into Taoism) before becoming overambitious thanks to success at uni and internship. Suddenly the next years all got planned how everything has to go and so on. Just now in fall thanks to the inspiring idea (the person I’m talking about knows it) of going to South America this movement seemed to finally have been coming to halt. Somehow.
In the workshop I got encouragement for this plan but also the feeling like the restart should not take place right now, but after finishing my thesis. Just like Christopher quoted his teacher “A new year starts when we start it.” In the same way I felt that a radical restart has to come but not yet. At the same time I realised that except of this external restart, I have to restart internally – something I can and should do now. Something that I did. And some of the changes follow now:
Summa summarum: Be less a perfectionistic control freak and instead a person who is at ease with life
Details – aside that it somehow seemed to combine techniques from Focusing and his book I read – from the workshop will not be published here but everybody is encouraged to try for him- and herself.
So, the blackboard is once again emptied (and I somehow feel like it won’t be the last time in my life, but maybe the most radical time) and I promised myself to also have the external reset.
Special thanks to you, Ak. You had a good impact on me in more ways than you think.
