It is Saturday morning and I am so lazy to get up on my bed and take a shower. But whether I like it or not I need to wake
up early and attend the workshop seminar because it is a requirement. Actually, I am not fully thrilled to attend the scheduled seminar. I don’t know why but perhaps the theme of the workshop is not that appealing for me. <A” meditation experience” what’s that? I could meditate on my own so what’s the purpose of attending the workshop?> this is what I’ve said to myself while I am taking a shower…basically, my initial perception about the workshop is not that good.
On the other hand, my negative thoughts about the activity changes as I’ve experienced a lot of learning and self-realization from the different
activities. There are some activities that struck me most. It is the “zip-zap-zup game”,
butterfly reflection, and body & soul. These two activities are very interesting for me. Primarily, the “zip-zap-zup” game, I really enjoyed performing it. For me it is not just a game but there is something that it wants to disclose. I think it divulge the belief on how people have different characteristics and how each of us is unique. Others may not believe and criticize our revelations about our quality whether it would be “pretty or charming etc...” but the important part is how we try to assess ourselves and evaluate our own uniqueness and qualities compared to others. I’ve noticed that all most all have given their different qualities but only few who have are similar description. This could only explain how each of us is different compared to others and only few qualities that we possess could be the same with others.
In addition, my reflection about the butterfly discussion is quite similar to my interpretation of the real theme of the game. I think life could be compared to the life cycle of a butterfly because each one of us has different experiences and stages in life that will enhance and develop us further. The color that the butterfly possesses describes our different personalities and our uniqueness from others. Butterflies have different shades of colors some could be so wonderful in the eyes but others seems to look plain and simple butterflies. In life there are some who really shines and strive hard to become a fully successful and fully developed human being. But on the other hand, there are some who remains to become simple and take everything trouble-free and plain.
Lastly, is the impact of the concept about our body and soul really amused me. Because of the sharing and thoughts that was given I was enlightened that the body is very much different from the soul. The body may stay temporarily but the soul will live endlessly. No matter how pretty we are or how popular we are but when it comes to the value of the soul no make up or jewelries could enhance and change it. Souls are developed by the person herself. It is through her own way of living that could nourish or damage her soul.
Honestly I’ve swallowed all the negative vibes that I’ve said against the workshop after realizing how worthy it is. The experience will be unforgettable and I am looking forward to visit the place again.
