1st time in life travelled 34000 kms in almost 3 weeks and feeling tired… The learning has been immense from the maiden visit to USA… Enjoyed the vastness of space and the openness (except in New York)… Felt happy to meet so many different people who are willing to accept you as you are. They do respect Indians a lot these days and are open to learn about India and its success stories. Many talk about Gandhi, his principles and spirituality, yoga etc while discussing India. Surprisingly Gandhi and his principles are only available in books in India and spirituality is invariably mixed with religion and probably now in India, we eat more of junk food than west !!
Got my “Life Coach Certificate” from USA and “NLP Practitioner Certification” from SNLP, USA (the course conducted in Edinburgh, UK). Amazing experience and the learning. The group was open to share and willing learn at both programs. The program facilitators did not use LCD projector or laptop at all… impactful learning with experience sharing and practice sessions!
The phobia cure session in NLP was amazing as people were cured of their phobias in the session and were literally playing with the python (brought to the session).
USA is an amazing and large country… people are energetic and work till they wish to work (there is no official retirement age). Was really pleased to see people in their 60s and so much lively and energetic. There were many in our class in Orange County. Everything – the roads, area, homes, shops etc are very large; even the "small hot chocolate” glass in Mcdonalds is quite large for me J
Enjoyed the cities of Jersey, DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Virginia, NYC & LA… Looking back – covered quite a bit!
It was a good experience overall from the 1st visit to US and then to Scotland. Feeling invigorated and ready to apply my learning to Indian society through Atmachetna!
