training course and when I got there I was<br />
dropped in the middle of a more intense teaching<br />
course, which meant I had to study a lot, practice<br />
a lot to catch-up with everybody else. The group<br />
had already bonded and I was the new one.<br />
Do you feel your training challenged you<br />
mentally?<br />
I had to really focus on the education side<br />
of it because I’m not very good at retaining<br />
information, so I found that the physical<br />
challenge wasn’t so hard. I was learning, training<br />
then catching up. It was non-stop continuously<br />
for 2 weeks.<br />
Did you have any moments of realisation, aha<br />
moments as I refer to them?<br />
I did a day of silence, I normally talk a lot, I think<br />
thats more of a nervous thing, but the silence<br />
gave me a chance to recognise that I really enjoy<br />
being in peace and when people don’t have an<br />
expectation of me to talk I didn’t feel the need<br />
to talk and I learnt a lot about myself in those 24<br />
hours. I’ve always been a talker not a listener and<br />
now I understand the importance of listening.<br />
Did you take a book?<br />
Yeah I did, I read a book called living with The<br />
Himalayan Masters and on the way home I<br />
bought a book on ayurvedic diet which I found<br />
massively interesting and I want to go on and<br />
learn more about that now.<br />
