hi

i realize my posts haven't been overly "spiritual" in nature. That's because not a lot is going on. Things at the ashram are the same, day in and day out. wake up at 4 or 5, yoga class at 6. this week Vishwa has been teaching all kundalini style yoga. Admittedly I haven't had a lot time with him because he has his hands full with this training course until december 10 and usually he has his wife with him here too to help run the course, but this time she is in canada with their newborn so.... he's occupied.

I think he did take the time to cure me of my snoring though. Apparently I'm snoring.... loudly. I don't know why but ever since i moved back into the ashram with two new roommates and mom stayed on her own in a guest house, i have been snoring. last night was the first night that i didn't. one roommate sleeps right through it, the other doesn't, and i felt absolutely terrible that she was losing sleep, so ... i spoke to my teacher, Vishwa about it, we laughed and had a good giggle that my snoring was keeping up my roommates, so he said he would do something about it. he is in charge of everything and even though he has a full support team of office staff, cleaners and cooks, he is still the go to guy for everything and no one barely makes a move or a decision without him telling them what to do. so if you want anything really done about anything, you gotta tell him and then he gives the appropriate orders. it is really quite interesting.

we joked that if there was another snorer in the ashram somewhere, that i could sleep with them/. the problem is that we are full. i took the last bed, so there is nowhere for me to move to, and no way to give me my own room. but since last night i didn't snore, i am suspicious that he may have had a hand in that. which is fine. if he wants to solve the problem by curing my snoring then... go for it buddy, i am grateful, and my french roommate is grateful as well.
i know you must think i'm off my rocker for thinking this,
but there have been other "incidences" involving Vishwa that have been just a little too coincidental to be racked up to coincidence, if you know what i mean.

I have had spiritual guides here (Babas) tell me that that night they would appear in my dream, and they did it. power of suggestion? perhaps. Its only far fetched in "our" world, our western world of rational thought and scientific proof.

anyhow,
things are run of the mill at the ashram otherwise. my roommates are clarance and norma, from france and mexico city respectively. yoga classes are good, food is fine, doing lots of laundry by hand.

and life goes on.

sending all my love
