Personally i wanted to share my Love Coupons tonight but 4shared wasn't playing very nice so i left but i WILL go back tomorrow and try again! lol
Today my DH & DS both took the day off so DH & i could go somewhere special and thankfully the weather held out and turned to be quite a lovely day!
my passion to go, began last summer when we actually missed the opportunity by some wierd incident that eventually told me i simply was not ready to hear 'the truth'. but today we had another opportunity to meet an actual & true Buddhist Monk for a session of Healing Touch. Now i, of course, don't know where you stand on this but i feel we ALL have our own journey to take, that leads us to our own personal enlightenment. And i truly found this AWESOME!!
we watched for awhile, soon after we arrived, and observed a health reading by this Monk. soon it was our turn, he used candles i believe to touch our backs and was able to somehow get the impression of our health status and gave us guidance on diet change to help remedy these ailments. it was INCREDIBLE! During the course of the day, the Monk placed several medallions on a plate, as a memento for us to have as a continued blessing. We were told that during a journey to a place in Tibet, he was told he would find these 7 items that he had created in an earlier incarnation, some 700 years ago and he found them and had these medallions made to show replicas of these items. was verryy cool. We did ask for a picture and after someone took one of us with him, only THEN did his hosts think of bringing out their videocam lol Glad i could inspire them AFTER we were done, because i had NO makeup & my hair up and was a NERVOUS bundle of happiness lol i sure didn't need to see that later, it's hard enough to wrap me head around all this. the vibe i felt from him was so spiritual and holy it brought tears to my eyes a few times.... but always a smile or grin on my face. it was an utterly awesome experience, if you believe and i do :D
"Loong Pao Prasert Itthiyano ordained and practiced in Thailand for 53 years. He has incredible gifts of seeing into the future, revealing the knots in people past and uncovering the best ways for people to find their way out of suffering.
The real seeker of truth never seeks truth. On the contrary, he tries to clean himself of all that is untrue, inauthentic, insincere - and when his heart is ready, purified, the guest comes. You cannot find the guest, you cannot go after him. He comes to you; you just have to be prepared."
was part of what i received when i heard of this event. and in as much as i DO seek the truth, i think it makes sense to cleanse myself of all that too but when i read the last part about not finding the guest, not GOING after him, i remembered last summer and HOPED i was prepared enough lol well i guess i was (sigghhh)
actually he is speaking again tomorrow, with sessions in the day and a talk later, i would LOVE to go to the talk since we didn't stay ALLLL day for this one. We did stay for lunch with him, which was very cool too, and then watched a few more one on one sessions before we took the journey home again. my spirits were lifted so much. this was DEFINITELY a much needed visit and i am glad DH liked it too :D
some pictures of my day :D



and Loong Pao Prasert Itthiyano
