I will definitely be posting about the study...unfortunately I won't be starting the 3RP program until January due to being randomly "wait listed." I'm hoping it will give me a fresh start to the new year. :)<br /><br />I hope your retreat is beneficial to you and you are able to have a quiet, reflective, relaxing time. I bet it's beautiful there. I look forward to reading about it and seeing your photos.<br /><br />Take care,<br />ElizabethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511333467185708915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318915864616555094.post-84270433319569937342013-10-28T20:47:25.339-04:002013-10-28T20:47:25.339-04:00Elizabeth,
Relaxation and stress reduction is some...Elizabeth,<br />Relaxation and stress reduction is something all of us need , who are "watchful wating". Watchful waiting is getting real old! If you get any tips, ideas about relaxation techniques , please post these. I am trying to seek some relaxation/ meditation from a retreat I am taking in November. I am going to the Abbey of Gethsamini in KY. It is an open/unguided/unstructured retreat where anyone , male of female can attend. All they ask is for retreatants to observe silence and speak only in designated areas. They provide a clean comfortable secluded room, with private bath ,food and 2000 acres of woodlands where one can relax and contemplate and meditate. I have talked to people who have went and read many, many reviews and no one had anything other than a profound quiet time alone.<br />Thomas Merton, the Catholic monk, who wrote many books and gave lectures on contemplation lived there as a cistecerian for 27 years...... It is not limited to Catholics ..... I am not and even Atheists, like myself are welcome. They do not proselytize or advance their faith!<br />I will take photos and post them on my blog and let everyone know how it went.<br />Take Care,<br />KeithAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707406119325758192noreply@blogger.com
