Kerala is truly God's Own Country
I have visited Kerala a couple of times. The Climate, Lush Forests and the Backwaters are totally amusing. Would definitely visit again if i get a chance. Visit: Varalakshmi Sago

Silence of the mind
3 days of silence sounds intriguing. It sounds like you got in touch with a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions. The power of silence is interesting.

Power of silence
Oh yes, it is. All these emotions and feelings coming up. And then it is about us to observe it and look what we can do better, where we can learn something. Not a process finished after 3 days. That is a lifetime job ;-). But it makes your life sooooo much easier when you start to control your mind and emotions.

"Monkey Mind"
I have always liked this expression, and found it to be so true. Also that you only notice it in silence and during meditation. What a wonderful experience the silent retreat must have been for you, and very inspiring to read about it. Thank you, and I look forward to reading more.

Real silence
What an interesting experience to be silent for three days! Thanks for sharing your experience of it. I've never been great at silencing my mind, but on reading your blog I've realised that it requires far more time than I've dedicated to it. Given the madness of the end of year over here, sitting silently in a dark room with no emails or phone calls sounds so very inviting right now :)

I am happy that we could inspire you. Well, when everything around you is quiet, the real noise in your mind starts. But it is said that after 3 days calmness comes. Maybe we will try a 7 day retreat next day if it is possible. Will write about the experience then ;-)

The joys of Italy
I'm glad you are warming up in Italy. Sounds like a great get away. Sipping coffee and watching the world go by.

Italy
Yes, the pleasures of Italy. Like you have recently experienced them :-). Just sometimes it is really hard to work off all the extra calories. Next time we go back to Italy will probably for some skiing. So we will have more exercise.

Climate
Oh yes, it often happens that we have rain or snow in the northern alps and down south it is sunny. We are very lucky that it is so close..... ;-)

Oh yes! When you live in a country, sometimes you do not see the "daily" beauty anymore. Great to be a tourist guide and view the country through a different perspective from time to time with friends and family :-)

Hola mundo! - We are Nina and Markus. We are from Lake Thun/Switzerland and we are outdoor junkies. Whenever possible we spend our time travelling, climbing, ice-climbing, trekking or snowboarding/skiing. However, our life has turned completely when we met our spiritual master Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda in the year 2013. In the meantime we try to travel to places where he is (and gives blessings to people) as often as possible. From travelling in the outside because we were searching for something, we are now travelling for meeting him, enjoying his presence and travelling "inside". It ... full info
