Rejuvination Time...

 

Hello from beauiful Pokhara! (actually Sedi Bagar)

The picture above is where I am over the course of the next 10 days , nestled in the mountainside (right now with a cool breeze coming in the window & listening to crickets)

It should be interesting. Even though as part of my previous alternative medicine practices, I've done both a five day fast on my own more than once & colonics through my nutritionist, have never combined them,  much less with yoga.

This is my itinerary ....

Morning of 11th day at 8:30 AM is farewell breakfast and departure

Just returned from the "orientation" which was soooo well organized, even got a bound 30 page book on the course. So far I am very impressed. We learned a peace prayer in Sanskrit & had one of the most amazing meals in my 30 days here.

The neti pot nasal cleansing is something I've tried before, & couldn't quite do(since I'm afraid of water, all that water rushing up my nostrils, felt like I was drowning while standing over the bathroom sink...lol) So, another great opportunity to stretch my comfort zone!

Namaste from Nepal...
