Summer project

Hubby and I have been inspired to build a meditation hut in the middle of the fields at the family property (located along a cove and fronting a beach north of the capital) after I showed him the picture below of India Scott's meditation hut which she constructed herself on a beach in Nelson, New Zealand. Photo is from the Stillpoint Yoga New Zealand blog.


Below is a shot from the side of the rest house taken from the driveway.


The plan is to put it here amongst the mango and jackfruit trees.


Other family members want to build a football field instead but that would require clearing out the fruit-bearing trees. A meditation hut is much simpler to build and invites positive energies.

E and Becky flew to Boracay over the weekend to check out the venue for John's Mysore and Led classes in September. Look what they found! A meditation hut overlooking the beach at Station Three. Sigh. I can just live here...away from the politics, pollution and toxins of city life. The two pictures below are taken by Edith Tobias.


Inhale...Exhale...Om.

  1. Hmmm, a mysore practice in your resthouse (Zambales?) followed by a seashore meditation and the now obligatory post-enlightenment feast?

  2. Yes, yes! Would love that so much. Let's plan something. Our home away from hOMe hehe.

    Seriously, I would love for all of you to try some of the vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes in Ilocos. Samadhi guaranteed ;)

    mel, even without the hut, i can already feel the grass under our mats right in the middle of the field. if the mysore practice is done while the dew is still on the grass, wow! that would just be heaven!

    my sister-in-law and i did bikram on the grass while listening to bikram himself on cd...maybe we can do the same, but listening to john scott on mp3 instead!
