My White Tantric Yoga with strangers experience

A few years ago when I was living in Barcelona I was in a low place in my life. Not bad place, I just was not contempt. I had lost my apartment, my stuff and everything in between. Basically from one day to another my life as I knew it had changed. I was renting a room in the city that was far from what I used to live in. I never made dinner, just bough something from a restaurant on my way home from work and I just was not positive.

One day at yoga class I met a girl who was just visiting Barcelona and she told me about White Tantric Yoga. It is like a workshop, where you preform these long yoga poses. I remember one of the “poses” we help for 45 minutes !!
It is all done in one very large group. If I am not wrong I think we must have been a couple of hundred people in that place in Barcelona. You have to wear all white and you have to cover the top of your head. It was one of the most bizarre things I have ever done.

The part that had the biggest effect on me ( besides entering this place and thinking I had mistakenly joint a cult and I would be stuck here for ever) was the very first exerciser. We all were asked to stand in a double giant circle facing each-other. The only thing we needed to do was to hover our hand over the person across from us and then when the bell rang, step to the left to do the same with the next person.

Its not a big deal but I dont think anyone has experienced the power, the effect and the intensity coming with starring for what felt like a long time into a strangers eyes. Never the less hundreds of strangers.

I never think about this my White Tantric Yoga experience anymore. It was many years ago and it is just something I did to try it out. End of story.

But today I came across a video on Youtube where they were asking strangers “What’s the most painful thing you’ve been told? The camera is filming these strangers up close and if you concentrate you can really see into their eyes. And you can almost feel the pain they are describing.

And this is just a stranger, not someone who is close to you. And I got the same intense and powerful feeling.
So maybe we all are One. Maybe the eyes are the way into the soul.

Reflecting time on the Yoga mat.

This is at one of my favorite hotels I have even been to.
