For most, this is is just a bike on the side of the road before a bridge.
For me, it is the place where almost 4 years ago I had my 🏍️💥.

For the first time, today, I went back there, still on 2 wheels, but a bit slower 😅🚴

I honestly didn't really know what to expect.
So I just went. They have rebuilt the small wall into which I crashed.
I looked at it, I left the bike, sat down and meditated for 10'...and continued on my ride.

So much has happened since that day, so many lessons learned, new people met.

Sometimes life throws at us things we don't want, those things that put our heads underwater and then press it even deeper that we feel there is no way we will get over that.
Reality is, that the hardest part of all of it is to accept the new reality, and once we are able to do that, all the doors that we thought had been shut in our face, start opening and becoming new opportunities.

I obviously would lie if I said I am glad I crashed....but I am certainly grateful for the opportunities that came after that and for having the strength and resilience to take them.

And if there is one thing I learned, it is that we don't know what tomorrow wil be made of, or if we will still be here... So the time to think about is now. Here and now.

Walk on ..... Ride on....

❤️

Tbt 1 year ago.

Last day out in the Lapland wilderness. The joy of realizing I'd made it.
I still have trouble realizing everything that happened out there and where it has taken me since.
Whakatau's wound is still open, but the adventure was worth every second.

For those who have not yet watched the movie -> go to www.nikaballus.com (link in bio) sit back and enjoy the ride!

Stay tuned, much more to come!

A different kind of expedition...but what a journey. Mid-February, I had the chance to go on a 10-day meditation retreat where I learned the Vipassana Technique. 
Before going in, I had meditated maybe 1h in my life, altogether. The rough idea I had about the retreat was: complete silence, no exercise, and mainly meditate for 11h / day....for 10 days, 

Other than that, the rules were pretty straightforward:

1. to abstain from killing any being, 

2. to abstain from stealing, 

3. to abstain from all sexual activity, 

4. to abstain from telling lies, 

5. to abstain from all intoxicants.

To make our life easier to respect those rules, here is what happened every day:

- Wake up at 4h00, bed-time at 21h30

- Complete silence (you cannot talk to any of the fellow students)

- Meditate for 11h a day.

 Maintaining silence for 10 days, after all, was the easy part. 

Trying to concentrate my mind on just observing the sensations and not coming up with 2117832 ideas per second was much harder.

During these 10 days, we were guided into learning the Vipassana technique. It is amazing how simple it is : observe the physical sensations on your body without judging or dwelling on them. Just observe the reality and acknowledge that it is impermanent, everything changes : Anicca.

This realization was truly transformational. Realizing that we are slaves of our own mind, who interprets the external stimuli and is trained, since our early age, to react to them unconsciously. By learning to be mere observers, we manage to detach ourselves from the suffering, and realize, these sensations are impermanent.

As meditators we are faced with the impermanence of ourselves. This allows us to understand that we have no control over this phenomenon, and that any attempt to manipulate it creates nothing but suffering for us. We then learn to develop detachment and acceptance of this fact, openness to change, thus allowing us to live happily among the vicissitudes of life.
