Only 2 practices left. BOO HOO! Things are finishing up. I am ready to go home. I finished my last Sanskrit class yesterday and an amazing Transcendental meditation workshop with Narasima. It was really fantastic. Now I have to figure out how to add one more hour to my already 3 hour long practice. ????

A momentous week this week too. I started drop backs. They were so much fun. Granted, Sharath had me held so securly that I felt totally safe. I just fell right back on my hands softly. It was so nice. We will see how long it takes me to do that on my own. I am not standing up yet either but the thought is there. I contemplate/visualize it while in Urdhva Dhanurasasa. It will take time. It just feels great to be doing the whole practice. I love it. We have a moon day on Monday. I used to look forward to them but I am totally in the groove now and don't really want to take it off. Oh well, SURRENDER!!!

Super excited to see Jeff. HE is a saint, really! It is easier for me to be away here because I am doing something I totally love. I am surround by amazing people and even though I am working my butt off it is still what I love. He on the other hand is stuck in NY doing the day to day drudge of going to a job that he really isn't into and having an empty apartment to come home to. I will be there soon. I miss him. Hopefully, at some point we can spend some time in India here together.

I will be back in the States probably the next time I write. Going through Gokulam withdrawls.

Things I am looking forward to:

A real shower
A real bath
A washing machine
A bed that is soft
No bugs
Most of all Jeff! Waking up next to him. Snuggling. Feeling him next to me when I sleep. I miss that the most.
