Folks! If nothing or even if you have some stressful urgent things going on from 23rd to 26th Dec, shelf your loads aside and join in this year's ManiRetreat @ Suntec Convention hall. http://maniretreat.sg/
They accept part-timers for half day sessions. I attempted last year and the retreat was refreshing. Its not some meditation retreat into the wild or some trainer telling you to do this and that. You just have to SIT, RELAX, and CHANT!
The founder of the retreat is a Tibetan Guru and thus the sessions are in Tibetan. If you are uncomfortable with Tibetan chanting you just don't follow. There is only meal breaks in between and thus you just keep chanting. Good time to expose yourselves to Tibetan chanting.
During the continuous chanting of the 6-syllabus 六字大明咒, one experiences the same mental states as doing a meditation. You get your concentration and phases of mind drifting away. Lesser on sleepiness as your mouth is continuously moving.
So, see you all there :) Please bring a jacket or shawl as the aircon might prevent you from concentrating.
