"Yes on Koh Lanta, I found myself again"

o Annelie ...
I do not really know where to start and how I
can put the words right, on everything that happened on
Koh Lanta ...
But last fall I had lost myself totally, I was
so lost. I knew I had to do
something, so when my Swedish yoga teacher would go to
Koh Lanta to have yoga classes, I signed up
directly. But at the last moment I found out that the yoga course
 was cancelled. So what should I do now .... But I
I decided to pack my bags and head to Koh
Lanta myself for 1 month.
I had been told that there
was a Swedish woman there who had yoga classes. And
it was Annelie ...
The first day I arrived, I called Annelie and
asked about when I could start yoga and it was no
problems, I was welcome to begin the next Monday.
So I practiced yoga every day, it helped me
rediscover 'my' power, using
Annelies focus and presence. I also began to
practicing Vipassana meditation in the temple with Annelies
teachers. For me it was the first time I found one
tools that I could use myself, not being
dependent on "therapist". Being able to manage
"thoughts", which have governed my life.
So, yoga and Vipassana meditation, each day,
and some days were very tough,
tough to meet myself.
But with the help of
Annelies wise words, power, and her zest for life she
spreads around, I managed also those days.
Yes on Koh Lanta, I found myself again. But one must
continue to nurture a small flower, which
started to bloom ...
So I go there myself this winter again.
Imagine what life shows you the way, only you dare to say yes
and follow it.
Had my original course not been cancelled,
I had never met Annelie, never reached the
Temple ...
Thanks Annelie for all you share with us.
