Day 58 - Sivananda Ashram

Here I am - in the internet cafe again... just need to get back in touch with reality. The brain washing is taking hooold.... I actually banged a tambourine (to relieve the boredom) and swayed (to relieve aching butt muscles) thismorning! Shock horror. Also stepped it up in the yoga stakes - I'm attending the advanced class in the morning and evening and becoming somewhat of a freaks rubber band (though I still sweat immensely - eeew).

My body in now more mosquito bite than skin, so permenantly covered in tiger balm (no anti-histamenes available - aaargh). This does make me look somewhat jaundiced due to the orange tone of the balm, but has the added bonus effect of calming my strained muscles. (I didn't know you could strain muscles in your butt - but yes, in fact you can- darn locust position) .

Tomorrow is a free day, so I am joining in a trip to the very southern tip of India (where the three oceans meet). We are going to bathe in a waterfall (fully clothed of course - this is India afterall), visit loads of temples, and eat loads of food.To be honest, I mainly joined in to get out of a day of Satsangs, but it sounds like it'll be fun!

    This sounds a bit like masochism to me - how long are you going to be there? and when you finally escape will you still be normal? or will you be hearing the bells all the time? how long will it take for you to fight off the urge to wiggle your bum and beat on a tambourine? I am slightly worried!!!!
