Deep week Thailand 2024
This year seven of us took part in a freediving week. Two of my friends decided to try what freediving is about, and they weren’t disappointed. I myself, to be honest, had considered freediving just a hobby until this point. This time, I think I grasped the essence.
Freediving is beautiful because it reformats you from the inside. You can’t dive angry, offended, irritated. You’ll immediately start running out of breath. Freediving isn’t about overcoming fear or anything like that. Freediving is about letting go. Letting go of everything. Every dive should be easy and pleasant. Just like everything in life. And then you find yourself at depth without even noticing. This time I became a freediver.
There were about fifty of us, three speedboats. The beauty of Deep Week is that you spend all day surrounded by your people. Meditation, yoga, breakfast, and we head out to the ocean. After the open water — pool training: breath holds, techniques, passing levels. Then seminars — how to not think, how to relax, how to hold your breath. Help and support from every direction.
My own suitcase with no handle, the whole load of grudges, I left at the bottom of the ocean near Racha Yai last year. Now, after transitioning to Wave 2 and the sensations from depths where freefall begins, you can’t live the way you used to. Freediving washes everything unnecessary out of you. And after that you get to choose what to let back into your life. You keep only what you love. Think only your favorite thoughts. The rest you simply walk past. You just become yourself, keeping only what you like. Free as in freedom.
Everyone felt this remarkable effect this time. Everything turned out to be simple. And continuously raising consciousness — find your people. You can’t drag anyone to a new level. I found friends and like-minded souls. Making adjustments to my life path. Going to strengthen my positions in Thailand. Gathering strength for a push into social media.
There are still a few events left before the end of the year. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Phuket. After that I plan to get into manufacturing. Rough schedule for next year:
— February 17-20: Starting with a freedive-psychological island trip. — April 26-3: Deep Week Bali, still up in the air — June 12-17: Anjunadeep Explorations, Albania, also not confirmed yet
