Woke early as usual and prepared to meditate by the beach with friends from the ashram. It was a lovely morning. Did 21 Om meditation... everybody chanting om at their own pace and breath... and the sound of the waves helped lull us deeper into the state of no state.Did a couple rounds of classic sun salutes, ashtanga suryas and some balancing poses. Had breakfast at the Cafe Italiano and decided to hop online to check what's happening with the rest of the world. Wonder how traveling to India 10-20 years ago was when there's no easy access to the internet.
Pranayama is being shelved at the moment... hopefully I'll be able to get back to it tomorrow... and full on practice starting Sunday and psyche up for teaching in Phuket.
Can't believe that Saudi Arabia is just at the other end of the Arabian sea. Grateful for the opportunity to experience life there and realize this dream of traveling to India to study yoga. The future holds so many possibilities... but today is more important... more beautiful... so the mind has to stay in the present... and be awake to fully experience each moment.
It's a nice day to chill out... read a book... have coffee... and just watch the waves.
Om.
