Afsanah Guesthouse - stillness and space

The Zen-type guesthouse has had a profound effect on creating a space of stillness during the whole stay. I stayed here with Joanna for about a month, and thoroughly enjoyed the natural zen beauty, the trees, the big rocks, the birds, even the temperature.
I arrived in June 2010 and leave around July 11, today to continue with the journey.

Afsanah Zen energy is a dream come true : it is a place where - because of its stillness - truth can emerge from within. The sounds of normal noisy life are stilled here, the silence brings a new level of understanding, and stopping the movement brings new life, paradoxally.
I have grown into understanding much more of the fabric of earthly life, the mechanics of the matrix. I have sensed other worlds, the world of Buddhism is close to the Zen feeling. I have seen and sensed the energy of India, the colorful purpose of a great nation. India is not what it seems : in its amazing colorful simplicity, it is a platform for another kind of love for life.
Being here was a bliss for the heart, for the soul, for the body. It has brought another, deeper, perspective into sensing why I am here, why humanity is as it is today. Much more clarity and strenght, courage and wisdom.
Next and powerful, maybe last stop is now the Fuji Yama in Tokyo. We are leaving today, and on the day of my biological birthday, I will hit the grounds of Tokyo main city. What an amazing life !
