The best way to show someone you love them is to be fully present with him or her. Staying open with a great feeling of acceptance... The true love is not doing something, it is Being completely with...

Living in the Tibetan refugee camp is really a gift for me. Every day I wake up in my tiny room, I am really grateful to give time to these people. Since the first day I arrived in the camp, the Tibetan consider me as a whole member of the community. Everyone supports me when there is any problem and even feeds me (with tchai and biscuits).Everyone greets me in the camp and I am the Miss-la of the camp (teacher). 2 weeks ago, a young man passed away in the camp. There was a vigil before the funerals. They asked me to be present during the vigil and the funerals. For them it was really important that I took part of it, even I did not know the young man. During the funerals, suddenly I felt a big pressure in my body, that grew up and up. I really could feel the sadness of the community. I started to have tears in my eyes. A kid of my school came to me spontaneously and gave me a big hug. I am really grateful to be member of this community : it gives you so much love and joy. Here I feel home, even I miss my family and my friends. It gives me a deep serenity and I feel secure to take risks on my path of evolution...

Since one Month I am working as teacher in the Nursery of the Tibetan refugee camp. I have to look after 12 kids, who are between 2 and 6 years old.

When I saw the place for the first time, I asked myself how can I teach English and drawing without any material. No books, no pencils, no games. Despite the few material, the children were smiling and happy. They wanted to learn...

I realised how material life is insignificant. With a lot of imagination, I created some games with really few material. Kids are enjoying to do something new everyday and improve a lot. AMAZING!!!!

These kids are an example for me: they are curious about life and do not feel fear. Even they read the same book for the X time, they see it like it would be the first time with this freshness. Their innocence bring me a lot of joy.

I spread love and receive a lot of love also...

At home, I am a really active girl and I do not like to wait. I am really unpatient.

Since I am in India, I learn to be patient and really enjoy it. The perception of time is in Himalya completely different. I do not have the impression to waste my time by  waiting during hours (and it can few hours) for a bus. I just look at the locals, who are keeping smiling and did not get upset, because the bus is late.

When I get unpatient, I just connect to the ground and the feeling of stress disappear. It is like I could wait for the eternity. My perception of time has changed: I do not have the impression anymore to waste time by waiting, it is just an opportunity to connect with what is around me...

I am really grateful to have discovered this feeling. I really hope I can keep it when I come back to Switzerland....

I experienced so nice things in Ladakh:

Landscapes: the journey through Himalaya and amazing landscapes is just a medition with open eyes. What nice to discovery mountains, lakes and desers. It helped me to be more connected with the ground....

People: they are all smiling and offer a lot hospitality (either the chai ou a bed). Even life is hard, they are joyous and smiling. They are really generous. I love these people and learned a lot about their generosity.

Monasteries: When I meditated in the monasteries, I could feel a strong energy. Roots on my feet were growing up and I was more and more grounded. My stillness and serenity got deeper and deeper. What a nice feeling

When I was in Kargil (a muslim city in Ladakh), every men were looking at me strange. Before I m sure I would get angry and shout against them. This time, I felt a lot of compassion for them and felt really sorry that they can not have any relationship (as friends ) with girls. This feeling of compassion is still present. It is like I could not get angry anymore. WUAH!!!
