Shownotes

Haribol, namaste, peace be upon you. Today we tuck into a quiet corner of Horsebridge in the Test Valley, sitting on an old railway now turned walking trail. The sun is low, the birds are bright, and our hearts soften after a long day of heavy lifting, sorting, and letting go. Feet in the cold river, breath steady, we talk about clearing space while we still have strength, passing things on with love, and choosing lightness. Then we chant the holy name Gauranga together, a simple practice that steadies the mind and sweetens the mood. Shout out to the Mantra Room in Brisbane, whose kirtan played while we packed. May this meet you where you are, calm your day, and invite a small act of release.

4

hello hello

5

:

welcome welcome to this little world that we're in here

6

:

where are we today we are in Horsebridge

7

:

we're on a lovely old converted railway track

8

:

it's turned into a walking trail

9

:

which I've seen this done in many places

10

:

it's gorgeous yeah

11

:

yeah and we're in the Test Valley

12

:

it's a many tests

13

:

oh yeah

14

:

I went through many tests today

15

:

yeah yeah

16

:

no it's

17

:

it's it's like a

18

:

gem hidden in the countryside in south England

19

:

and as usual

20

:

the sun is going up or the sun is going down

21

:

this is when we take a little time to pray

22

:

to engage in Transcendental Meditation

23

:

yes since we were in so much hard physical work today

24

:

we're moving boxes selling stuff

25

:

getting rid of stuff yes

26

:

there's a lot that to be said for letting go of things

27

:

when you're still healthy

28

:

not leaving it to those that come after you

29

:

to have to clean up your mess

30

:

or you know

31

:

I'm cleaning up my mess now

32

:

they say one person's treasures

33

:

another person's trash so yeah

34

:

better to give the gift yeah

35

:

it's a good lesson I

36

:

I had so many things and I should have given them away

37

:

uh when I was here the last time two years ago in June

38

:

while I was here at least still living here

39

:

I should have just showered everybody with gifts

40

:

because now in this short amount of time

41

:

just not enough time to go to all the people

42

:

and find out what they like

43

:

and just give it to them

44

:

so

45

:

maybe I can improve in

46

:

just not accumulating that much stuff anymore

47

:

yeah you only need one bed to sleep in

48

:

and one or two sets of clothes

49

:

oh my God we have so many pillows now haha yeah

50

:

the van is filled with

51

:

I've never met anyone had more pillows than Maria

52

:

every seat has a different blanket and it's

53

:

it's too much maybe we leave some of the pillows behind

54

:

I will leave them as we go along

55

:

maybe mmm

56

:

maybe have a pillow Haribo

57

:

but now

58

:

we have really nice carpets that we can sit outside

59

:

anywhere we go yep

60

:

it's great to get outside every day

61

:

put your feet in the earth

62

:

I just put my feet in the river

63

:

it was hard to get to it cause there's fencing up

64

:

but once I stood in the river and nice cold

65

:

cold water

66

:

I may I immediately felt the day washing away from me

67

:

being very present in the

68

:

now the day is done

69

:

but tomorrow's troubles be for tomorrow yeah

70

:

today's troubles will come

71

:

the rest of the boxes will come tomorrow yeah

72

:

but we got pretty far today

73

:

I'm really I'm really happy

74

:

should we do a little garonga

75

:

yeah

76

:

okay let's do 10 gorongas together

77

:

or if you like you can just listen

78

:

the beautiful thing is

79

:

the first and last sense to come and go

80

:

as we appear and disappear from this world

81

:

is hearing

82

:

and even in the womb

83

:

or all living entities can hear vibration

84

:

sound vibration they feel it or they hear it

85

:

and this is the highest sound vibration

86

:

it's beautiful oh

87

:

and when we are fiddling with the boxes today

88

:

when it got too stressful

89

:

we just put on a YouTube video with chanting

90

:

and immediately we got more calm

91

:

oh just chilled

92

:

it's great so

93

:

you can also play it in the background

94

:

if you're not able to chant and let it calm you

95

:

we really like the Montra Room in Brisbane in Australia

96

:

and oh yeah a huge shout out to Brisbane

97

:

yeah The Gold Coast must be beautiful

98

:

that's lovely it's where all the old hippies used to go

99

:

but now thank you for all the super high real estate

100

:

we have them playing today all day

101

:

yeah well done

102

:

okay go Ra angaga

103

:

he whose body is more beautiful than mountain gold

104

:

golden the golden one

105

:

go

106

:

Ra

107

:

angaga

108

:

one more time

109

:

go

110

:

round

111

:

and go

112

:

oh the birds are so lovely

113

:

it's my favorite place in England

114

:

Horse Bridge it's actually one of the quieter

115

:

darkest places of the of the earth

116

:

remarkably low levels of light at night

117

:

this helps the animals at night to see and to hear

118

:

and to mating calls

119

:

it's so good

120

:

we don't need so much when we have a lot of inner light

121

:

we don't need so much external light

122

:

it's nice to have light but darkness is good too

123

:

these trees are just gorgeous

124

:

yeah really

125

:

it's amazing how by God's arrangement

126

:

everything is clothed in its perfect clothing

127

:

so to speak

128

:

I'm letting go a lot of clothing now

129

:

and she keeps wearing this awesome jacket

130

:

that was given to her that I got

131

:

that I got we haven't done the fairy

132

:

we haven't given the story yet of the art

133

:

the art we need to do the

134

:

the surprising art project

135

:

art piece art piece yeah

136

:

well we're going to the local pub tonight to

137

:

do a little networking

138

:

uh drink a little water and uh

139

:

just see if there's some people around here

140

:

that could use some things yeah

141

:

we're happy to give away

142

:

lots of things to people in need

143

:

you know and um

144

:

that's the beautiful thing

145

:

if you store things for too long

146

:

they entropy takes over and they really break down

147

:

and then they're not even

148

:

you can't even give them away

149

:

you have to throw them away

150

:

yes so this is a really nice time

151

:

if you're physically able and still mentally well

152

:

it's go through your things and declutter

153

:

pass things on let things flow like this river

154

:

it's just flowing don't let it stagnate yeah

155

:

we only need very we need very few things to

156

:

be happy so

157

:

things don't give us happiness

158

:

it's relationships

159

:

so let's go focus on some relationship building tonight

160

:

and yes

161

:

but thanks for tuning in Haribal

162

:

Namaste and may peace be with you always

163
