news from the hills of rishikesh

Hi ho there,
well, i've been tucked away so cozily in my ashram of choice i scarcely can find reason to leave there sometimes. It was raining so hard today, true monsoon. I feel guilty i haven't been posting any new pictures. This cafe does not allow downloading and uploading and it is a 2km walk to the one that does, so you'll forgive me if i am not so current with that. If its any consolation, there are no real photos to display anyway, the view is mostly the same. just imagine great big green jungly hills out my front window and that's pretty much what i see all day. I just finished my level one Reiki healing training. So that was very interesting. Not much new is going on besides that. Really. The life of a yogi is not all that exciting. Just a lot of sitting and stretching and breathing. hahaha.
i have an appointment with an ayurvedic doctor tomorrow, a consultation, so that should be good. i am in the process of interviewing a few because i am considering doing panchakarma, which is a cleansing and detoxifying program supervised by an ayurvedic doctor and tailored specifically for your particular disposition and make up (dosha) which they decide after analysing your pulse and various other factors about you.
Other than that, not much else to report. The weather is cooling, which is a tremendous relief. I was beginning to think i was going to succumb to tropical malaise under the pressure of the humidity and heat.
lots of love
