The enema bag

I have only one bag to declare
Because I lost all my luggage on an internal flight
A battered suitcase I've lugged round for years
A Pandora's trunk full of addictions and fears
I'll mourn for its loss, though I might not shed tears

I have only one bag to declare
At first I didn't know,
Whether it was a friend, or an enema
But it turned out to be a ticket to ride
On a a supersonic colonic, rectile projectile
That flew me back through time
To meet my old self

I have only one bag to declare
It's a bag made for one, though now it's to share
With my old-fashioned self
Who's just thinner, and with hair,
You can't turn back the clock
But you can find second chances
Like meeting an old flame
In one of those classic romances
Though it's not the girl,
But yourself, that you fancy

And I only have one bag to declare
It's empty, but it's now full of hope
A crack of a smile of a new moon afloat
There's no full stop, to a colon in flight
I'm clean, lean and travelling light
And as for Dharma healing, I have to admit
They really do
Know their shit

Poem by Anthony (Rant) Phillips—January 2008

When God looked down the earth
And saw everyone peaceful and the same
He thought this is boring
I want to play a game.
 
So he created you and me
And Lucifer and Al Gore
Human with there own will
To see what was going to happen
Take the apple and stand the drill
But slowly, slowly this sweet Lucifer
Only wanted more and more.
 
This more and more is not the way
But who can tell me how this game to play?
 
Too many questions
Gong on in my mind
I can’t stop thinking
The answer is hard to find
 
But if I am silent
And listen very well
There will always be an angel
Who can tell
 
Loving, Supporting, guiding
Who might this angel be?
 
Well for me this time
It was Hillary!
 
Thank you for everything.
I hope I can infect my friends at home.

I started my journey here 7 days ago.
What I was searching for, I do not know.
But something was missing in my life for sure,
So I guessed Dharma Healing was the place for the cure.
I was so nervous coming here,
Alone to this place,
How lucky I was, that the first person I met had such a warm looking face.

As the week has gone on the easier it has gotten.
I don’t know if you’d get the same response if you’d ask my bottom.

The feeling I’ve got from doing this fast,
Is so clean and pure, like nothing I’ve had in the past.

Georgina and Vivienne what a delight you both are,
So easy to talk to, you will both go so far.

Hani, so youthful and fun,
A centre you should open,
Denise and me will definitely come.

Rus and Yasko, the love I see between you,
It’s like a beam of light,
Your presence here surreal and so bright.

Heike and Robert, your loving family presence has meant so much to me,
It reminded me of home,
Which I’m missing so, deeply.

Barbie, a sense of humor,
My dad told me is a gift indeed,
Which you have, and in life you will surely succeed.

Dermot, you’re the person I’ve least gotten to know,
But certainly when I see you,
I see a special glow.

Denise, wishing you all the fun and happiness on your special journey.
Just don’t be in a hurry.
Make sure one day that us three meet up for that green Thai curry.

Alex, the strength I see in you is yet to come out,
So strong that you are you will surely sprout.

Before I finish I must go back to one place.
It’s the verse about the warm looking face.
Yes, it was Hillary, who is so full of grace.

I dreamt of coming to Dharma Healing,
To achieve this goal of better feeling.

On and off the healthy wagon I have often fallen,
Much to my despair and my sorry colon.

Now here in this paradise of coconuts and sunshine,
The power of good health is becoming mine.

And though I have missed the pat Thai and green curry,
Those things I will not be wolfing down in a hurry.

One of the lessons learned through herbs, colonics and coconut milk,
Is that my intestines will soon be turned to silk.

Thank you to Hillary and all my fellow fasters,
As from sharing this experience I know that we can all become masters.

And soon it will come time for a sad goodbye,
But it is with warmness in our hearts and there is no need to cry.

For cashew cheese, veggie patties and nut and date balls await,
And that, my friends is a wonderful way to start our new fate.

“The Poo Song”
To the tune of “OH SUSANNAH”

Verse l
Oh I come to Dharma Healing,
With sore feet and heavy heart.
When I leave I know I’ll be restored
In each and every part

Chorus
Dharma Healing, it really cleans us out
If you need a poo,
I’m telling you,
This is where you should hang out.

Verse 2
Drink your herbal drinks and coconuts
And broth down every-day,
Insert your tube, stay near the loo
And you will be O.K.

Chorus
Dharma Healing, it really cleans us out
If you need a poo,
I’m telling you,
This is where you should hang out.

Verse 3
So farewell my friends,
This is not the end.
Go home and carry on.
Raw food and juice, no living loose
Look after your co-lon

Chorus
Dharma Healing, it really cleans us out.
If you need a poo,
I’m telling you,
This is where you should hang out.

In honour of Hillary and all she has done for me and so many others.
Thank You,
Love,

Before we came into existence on this plane,
What a miracle it was to be;
To have granted this amazing organism,
In which we would move, feel, taste and breathe.
The reasons far beyond,
The scope of the dormant self;
The true beauty and delight of it all,
Something, that can only be felt.
The wonders of life as small as they may be;
Around every corner, for all souls to see.
The sound of the tide, the smell of the rain;
The splendor of a crimson sunset, again and again.
To feel the heart bent, softly inside the chest;
To feel the warmth of a lover, as you softly caress.
To feel this life pumping through your veins,
And tingling in your toes;
Is truly a special gift, anyone knows.
So let the love for yourself continue to grow;
For you are an instrument, with which to sew;
The gifts and pure beauty of your soul upon this earth;
For every one of us is so important,
From the moment of our birth.
May we be gentle with ourselves,
Nurture and feed,
So we may become the ultimate creation,
That we’re all supposed to be.
For we are the universe in miniature;
An ocean of endless possibility;
May we be kind to our body, mind, and soul;
Let us set our divine energies free!
For Hillary and the Dharma Healing Center,
Love and Light,

Hillary,

Thank you so very much for the best 9 days. You have been fantastic and have helped me find in myself the old Katy. One of my close friends says over the past few years that I have lost my spirit. I think I may have regained it now.
I know I have a lot more self confidence and self worth than 10 days ago, along with a wealth of knowledge on food and nutrition.

I’m so glad I found your website. What you inspire in people is amazing. Keep doing what you are doing.
My only regret is that I didn’t get to give you a hug goodbye.

But I will be back. So It’ll have to wait until then!
With all my thanks and love,

Katy

Time cannot be influenced by mankind. It gives each of us a beginning and an end. And this makes us question the significance of what comes between. But if you can create something time cannot erode, something which ignores the eccentricities of particular eras or moments, something truly timeless, THIS IS THE ULTIMATE VICTORY!

I believe that Hillary, through this course creates something timeless. Every time she so generously imparts knowledge, or asks “how are you?” or gives a hug, she gives something so precious to those of us that come to fast with her – an opportunity to heal ourselves.

Dharma Healing Center – Mei Darsi. This in my father’s native language, it means, Thank You. I have learnt a lot from you and being here has given me the opportunity to reassess, cleanse and think on some things I never even knew existed within me.

TO GREATER VICTORIES!

To Dharma Healing Center,,

Beneath the calm waters
Lies a deep wisdom –
Treasure from Atlantis,
Polished,
Shared.

Gems of compassion
Held out with
Open hand,
Open heart.

Take this, you smile,
It is yours.

You make me feel like
I, too, am a gem
REDISCOVERED.

Dear Hillary,

Thank you seems like too few syllables; too small an image to convey the deep appreciation that I feel for your support, teachings, wisdom and for simply providing a gentle place of beauty in which people have the freedom to be well. . .
You are a Gem of the Sea,

With Love,

Bryony

In You We Find:
Refuge, from the worlds we create around us. . .
A stillness, like glass that blankets the calm sea. . .
Kindness, that is genuine & without judgement. . .
Guidance, not through awe, but instead through the insight you awaken from within. .

In You We Find:
Perspective, that nourishes our ability to make choices with awareness. . .
Respect, for the individuals we are, our weaknesses and strengths alike. . .

In You We Find:
Ourselves,
Because you too reveal that your search is ongoing. . .
In You We Find. . .
A Gift,
The Gift of unconditional giving. . .

And through all we find in you, we discover in ourselves. . .
THE COMING OF A NEW DAWN

Dear Hillary,

I want to thank you so much for the wonderful program you run at the Samui Dharma Healing Center. It has opened a door for me which I am so excited about. I truly am amazed with the outer and inner changes I have experienced during my two week fast with you. I feel more centered than I have ever been and inwardly joyful. I started my one year journey searching for answers to my question: “What is my life really all about?”
Along my path I have been blessed by many special people: teachers, guides and friends, who each in their turn have acted as “gatekeepers” to what has become a very special and unique, end to this particular journey. What happened to me during my two weeks at your center has given me much, much more than I ever could have imagined.

Although, I realize that I still haven’t yet arrived at where I need to be, I know that I am heading in the right direction. George Elliot, once wrote: “No Soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.”

Thank you so much for creating an environment where I could simply “BE” and where I felt trust, in you and in myself. Much healing has taken place whilst I was in your care and love.

God Bless You, Hillary

Allison

To learn to love, take the inner way.

Light is our birthright, we are here to play.

As when the rays of sunlight waltz with the falling rain,

Heavy displays all her colors as in a rainbow to take away our pain

But from where have the rays of light rebounded with such joy and art?

Isn’t it obvious?

These colors have reflected from within your heart.

So retreat within, humble your needs, take refuge beneath the celestial wishing tree.

As women will pray and men meditate let us dissolve our greed, envy and hate.

Cleansing the soul as only the ancient ones know how, for the moment has returned for this knowledge to be ploughed.

As once upon a time goddesses cherished this land,

So let us unite to regress Gaia—our true Mother to harmony hand in hand.

Thank you, Dharma Healing Center.
