Marbella Beach Satsang

Published on

It's been 9 years since I was on vacation and I'm wondering if this is this what vacations are really like. If so, I'm pretty sure I will not wait another 9 years to do it again.

Sitting together in Satsang at Marbella Beach, Spain

I wasn't sure I'd remember how to vacation but clearly, it's like riding a bike, and I'm fairly certain if I really apply myself that I could develop mastery in this area. In fact, it might be the one thing I'd be willing to practice!

So after two weddings, next up was this satsang at the beach in Marbella. Wait, working on my vacation??? Nah. One of the things I'm most grateful for is that I truly never perceive this as work. While I have no resistance to doing my taxes, it's definitely work. Dusting? Not that awake.

Do I digress? How 'bout we just call it "tangentially flowing." It's my way.

What a delightful group gathered together to be in inquiry — insightful questions, deep sharing, lovely experience, great energy.

Bodhi playing guitar at Satsang on a beach in Marbella, Spain

Earlier in the day I drove into Malaga's city centre and bought a guitar to complete some songs while here in Spain and brought it to the satsang. Was really nice to get to play and share an acoustic version of one of the first two songs that will be released in the Songs of Awakening project, "There's Nothing Wrong With You (no matter what you were taught to believe)". It's a song about the essence of the teachings in one of Zen teacher Cheri Huber's books by the same name.

We also sang and danced to my new version of the Gayatri Mantra which I'll be recording in the near future as well.

Time to go out and practice vacationing more. Will keep you posted on my progress...

  • I am learning to live with an open, positive heart thanks to Bodhi's wisdom and guidance.

    Julie Sidur Insurance Professional Oceanside, California

    Working with Bodhi on an individual basis is teaching me how to see the truth about my self-defeating ways and empowering me to deal with the toxic energy in me from as far back as my childhood. He is helping me break free from my negative, conditioned responses that I have had most my life. I am learning to be able to express myself more clearly from my authentic higher self. All I have ever wanted to do is to be able to connect with people.

    Bodhi shows me how to do this through helping me to process what is really going on inside, seeing what is truly needed and proceeding from a grounded, secure place in my communication with people in my life. I am learning to live with an open, positive heart thanks to Bodhi's wisdom and guidance. For this I will be forever grateful to Bodhi.

  • I’m thankful for your clarity and presence and for how much peace it has brought into my life.

    Violet Lehrer Owner, Clarity Path Coaching Carlsbad, California

    Bodhi, I woke up flooded with gratitude for you today — your essence, your teaching, your energy, your sweet soft voice, your non-judgment. Your ability to have integrated that and not just teach it is inspiring to me. I’m thankful for your clarity and presence and for how much peace it has brought into my life. I’m thankful that the kids have learned the meaning of resistance and trigger.

    I’m thankful for the hundred times I’ve heard your voice saying “the truth and essence of who we are is love” and that I can hear that voice in my head louder than the childhood “you’re not good enough”. I’ve thankful for the healing you’ve guided me on. I’m thankful that you have shown me (and Matt) the path to our hearts. I’m thankful for all the moments of freedom and joy that are in my life because I am not in resistance. You have made a profound difference in my life.
