Bolu Gerede Yoga Camp Vacation
Ankara,
Turkey – 07-09.09.2007
The second yoga camp organized by our yoga center was
especially for the new participants. Our friends who have just finished the
course would be able to join in our such activities and there would be brand
new experiences waiting for them… Although
they knew that meditation was to be able to sit still and purify the mind
from wandering thoughts, they had already experienced the fact that it was
not that easy to stop their inner talks. However in Bolu they not only learnt
the methods to stop the inner talks but also to throw out all of the
suppressed feelings and thoughts.
Our vacation would last short compared to the previous
ones. For this reason, in order not to waste our time we set off early in the
morning and as soon as we arrived at the hotel we put our luggage in our
rooms and had our breakfast. After the breakfast, our leader Ramaray
explained the programme in a more detailed way this time. Since our vacation
had a special purpose our teacher wanted us to do certain things that were
not usual for us… but every one was ready to practise them. Under the
direction of our

teacher, we were “reborn”, felt our loneliness in the
crowd, and by stopping our minds we had a chance to look what was inside of
us, we became consciously mad… In short, during these three 3 days, we had
such experiences that can not be put into words.
We needed more time to learn the techniques of how to
go deep inside and how to purify our minds, but everything we did here
contributed a lot to our self-development. As one of our friends said: “the
level we achieved at during this 2-3 day vacation could be hardly attained in
a 10 year of our daily life.” Yes, it
was a 3 day break but every minute of it was fully lived by staying alone in
nature, forgetting about past and future, stopping the inner talks and
feeling our minds getting more clear at every passing minute.
