DARYL FROM OODNADATTA

Oodnadatta

 

Daryl is a meditation teacher and cattle farmer from Oodnaddata, a small community west of the Simpson Desert.

It is fair to say Daryl is to the alternative health industry of Oodnadatta what Genghis Khan was to Mongols.  In this, his first podcast, Daryl speaks of the importance of 'letting go'. 

I have let Daryl speak unedited but warn that some of his language can be a little strong.

That is just too funny.

Hi Clarissa. I dont think Daryl meant it to be funny. He might be a little upset but I am sure he'll 'let it go.'

Ah i was transported. Thanks Daryl. I recently came back from a trip out to Lake Mungo. I imagined that landscape as Daryl was talking. Had to cut and paste some bulls into the mental scene cos out at Mungo there ain't no bulls although by god we saw masses of Wedge Tail eagles and seeing them soar is very peaceful and relaxing also. I think it's much easier to let go of lots of things if you can hang out with the animals and the blue skies periodically. Off to google maps where oodnadatta is.... sounds tops. (And apologies to Raymond with regard to your 3 months reflections on blogging - i am yet another woman....)

Hi Sarah. No apologies needed. I like women but wonder why men don't do anything anymore. Oodnadatta is an incredible place. On the old Ghan track from Adelaide to Alice. c ya Raymond

Dear Daryl - I think you might've wasted the last 20 years meditating.  Obedience classes for yr cows may have been time better spent. Take care out there in all that bush. Tiffany

the cattle sounds are particularly relaxing. Don't shush them Daryl. they are conduits to the manure laden earth.

Easy for you to say. You try living with the bastards. Day in day out. Daryl.

Gidday Daryl. I am single, but I'm not too sure of your intentions. Are you thinking of lining me up with the herd?

We don't get too many lady folk out here Honour for man or beast.

Them's the breaks! Good luck with Heather! :] Raymond mentioned about your somewhat "raw meditation", and I had the thought that it would be a good name for unique meditation style. What d'yu reckon?

Thanks for that first lesson in technique, Darryl. Can this method also be used to meditate in the presence of blowflies?
Daryl
Reply
No.. I just kill the bastards. Are you single Heather? Daryl

G'day Daryl. You are awe-inspiring mate! the genuine article. I mean, sometimes a visit to the big smoke can be a bit daunting, but you, to your credit, let nothing take away from your down-to-earth Aussie blokiness. A real teacher practices what he preaches... "letting it all go" is just what I needed to hear at this time of my journey. Thanks for that (and before you ask, yes I am already in a relationship)

Gidday Leigh. You sound like a good bloke. A lot of the biokes up here find my mediation, yoga and healing a bit weird. Also my relationship counselling. c ya Daryl
