Today I will enter 10 days of silence and meditation in the Dhamma Centre of Jodhpur, India.
No phones, no emails, no eye contact and no speaking. Just silence, meditation and finding inner peace.
I’m petrified as I sit here with a terrible stomach, aching head and what appears to be some form of gastro bug. But I am determined to complete this course and to find some calm in my hectic and busy life.
Please see below what is in store for me!
