Saw the masterclass with Neile Donald Walsch this week and I'd love to share some of my insights, learnings and memorable moments with you.
First off, I was pleasantly surprised by how Walsch began the class by making funny faces directly into the camera. One of the gems is not take yourself so seriously. I really love this, the playfulness and joy.
The first story about what Walsch would have done if he'd encounter a robber stealing his phone was for me a mind shifting experience. I too would probably have chased and confronted the robber, like Vishen explained. However to stretch oneself in such a way how Walsch described is a powerful act of true empathy, compassion and love. I think it's about being present at that very moment instead of reacting subconsciously with immediate retaliation. True, a big challenge for sure but a powerful habit to grow and hone.
The second story about his experience of his friend underbidding for local handcrafts at a market in Peru. Touched my heart deeply and is absolutely true to me. Reminds me of how I go about on the Sunday market here in my Ecuadorian town. I always ask the prices but never underbid making the vendor feel uncomfortable. What happens instead is that I've build up a friendly relationship with this vendor and every time she gifts me three avocados for free. How abundant!
The closing words:
"Life is not about you.
It's about everyone whose life you touched."
Profound, super powerful and inspiring. I've been integrating this in my life for a whole while and it's such a joy.
Lastly, the loving presence of Walsch. He's being spoken from source as all the right words, stories and info are coming through his vessel to us.
Wow ✨
Thank you Vishen for being so accommodating and a lovely host and showing your vulnerability during the masterclass. That is what people will remember.
I look forward to read your experiences.
From my heart to yours.
