Yesterday at the Australian School of Meditation and Yoga, we held our bi-monthly full day meditation retreat. It incorporated meditation, relaxation, Chi-Kung, Thai massage and lots of eating and socializing. It was a beautiful spring day and the workshop attracted over 30 people. We began the day with some breathing, meditation and relaxation followed by some peaceful chanting meditation. Chi-kung was next, which is a very popular ancient Chinese system of exercise. It is very meditative as well as a healthy way to keep the body fit and balanced. This was followed by some progressive body relaxation and a delicious Thai style buffet lunch. The menu consisted of eggplant and sweet potato green curry, tofish, satay sticks with peanut sauce and array of mouth watering salads. The afternoon consisted mainly of a 2 hour Traditional Thai massage course, where everyone paired up to give and receive. To top the day off, ginger lemon and honey tea was served with cardamom burfi. Every one floated home feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and revitalized.Unfortunately a lot of people missed out on this particular workshop as numbers are limited. To avoid disappointment make sure you get in early with your bookings. The next full day meditation lifestyle workshop will be held on Saturday 13th December incorporating aromatherapy hot towel facials.
