Day 10, Guru Ram Das Ashram Amsterdam

sat nam, today I'm doing the sadhana in the Guru Ram Das ashram in Amsterdam, the place where I've done my teacher training. Again many things have happened to me since the last sadhana, of course. What I realize is that when doing sadhana and living in the now, I really have to be carefull of what I'm wishing for. I always have this image of traveling light, just a toothbrush and clean clothes for the next day.. but i laways end up carrying so much with me, moreover since I'm travelling by car, which makes it very easy to bring all kinds f things which might be usefull...

One of the things I always bring is my laptop.. a beautiful white yogic mac book. As I'm travelling, I tought it would be a good idea to buy an external hard disk, so in case anything happens to it, I'd still have a back-up. But... I postponed putting the things on the hard disk, as I didn't know how it worked... during my way from home to the Golden Temple I somehow lost my laptop, with all the documents, all the music... everything...

To get over the emotions i felt, i went to the beach, the Amsterdam beach, watched the almost full moon and just layed in the arms of Amar, my sweet friend. It probably goes with the process of starting all over, brand new...

The sadhana with Guru Prem was a welcome, new experience. I loved the music he used, the japji sahib and the jaap sahib and also the idea of doing 10 minutes these postures you feel you're body need, was a gift.
