SHIFT NEPAL 2011
The meditation was performed at the top of the Everest, at a location within a day’s walk of Base Camp. The purpose of this thought wave was to bring about peace and harmony in this world, honouring principles of love, hope, harmony, peace, unity and healing. We offered deepest gratitude for the gift of life, our fresh air, water, and all the resources we receive from Mother Earth…
Synopsis of Shift Nepal
Dearest SHIFT family,
THANK YOU to each of you for following your intuition and completing the 7th SHIFT Grand Meditation. Our presence as one was inspired for which I express Gratitude. And for the organizers of all the SHIFT events thus far, the tasks, time, presence and patience it takes definitely lends to our shaping. We have been blessed in completing the work and only each of you shall know your blessings from the ORIGIN which Amyn and I pray are continuously limitless, Amen.
Handing over to our young ones was a delight, the intrigue of the number 7 surrounding us still needing to be defined.
The individual experiences through meditation was a blessing indeed. I shall always remember our session of honouring and appreciation as the moving, teary and blessed session. The Sherpas and their dedication to us – like that of a mother to a child .. Waking us up with tea, guarding our every step, serving us, feeding us, carrying our burdens and nurturing us… All with a smile, and then asking forgiveness for what may not have been right! What a learning they offered us. The greeting bull for the Grand Meditation who offered us a window to his soul, and the breath-taking views and connection to the focal point. Burying the crystal and worry beads as our offering, so beautifully decorated by the Sherpas with leaves and flowers. Our walk back as we took in the sights trying to etch them in our minds; the meditation in the meditation room on the top floor of the hotel connecting to the global participants. The way our team looked after each other, and the make-do spa sessions in the lounge room. The abrupt 5 minute ride to Lukla and the views from the helicopter – the walk back down the mountain and the Dudh Kushi river. The falls of living waters, and the Namaste’s from all that walked: the frost on the ground on 11.10.11 and the stillness for the soul. The sun shining upon the mountains and the rising sun offering of hope; the calmness of the dogs, cats, yaks and bulls, the flowers of the earth. The trees of centuries that gave shade and meaning, and the freshness of the air.

Pokhora, a last minute addition, presented itself for yet one more meditation – one carried out by 7 for the team of 22: strewn with greenery, flowers and butterflies, water courses and peace highlighted by the connection of nature and its people. The Nepalese dinner, the exhaustion of some, exhileration of others, the tired feet, and the worn out bodies, the satisfaction of work complete. The party at the pool determining human codes, the packing of red bags, and preparation of sad good byes, the flu tablets and wrapping of bandages, the good bye team greeting us. The yearning for more of Nepal and the stillness that nourished the soul – may our memories forever remain of the beauty of our journey and the purpose it entailed. Namaste in all of its forms.
GOING FORWARD:
THE WAVE IS WORKING: On Friday, the global agreement to advance the ban on hazardous exports to third world countries was agreed to by more that 150 countries, and On Saturday, King Jordan urged Israel and Palestine to continue talks for resolution – the decision for Palestine is Nov 11.
