Thammatipo Seminar Athlone
Just been at a lecture held by thammatipo. I am so glad I went, there was a really good crowd there. We practised generating our inner energy towards a partner and then thammatipo generated his own energy towards us. The effects where simply amazing. The feeling is incredible. Then a young buddhist doctor talked to us about how she used these techniques with patients. They also talked to us about the body,mind and thoughts being separate indentities and the mind is permanent. The body and thoughts are not. When we die our body no longer is part of us. Our mind is our energy and they told us that our mind is our heart. There was also a retired american doctor there who specialized in neurology for most of his career and he said that many things they said answered a lot of questions he had been searching the answers for, for most of his career. He agreed the the mind and the brain are two entirely different entities. I learned so much today and I am totally grateful for the experience. We also practised two meditations. Concentrating on the mind base. Breathing in above our heads and exhaling to the mind base.
They gave us a dvd that we can watch and a bracelet which they called a mala which was blessed by the monks.
Love, light and serenity, namaste x
