Another great jump at the Cenote today. My form is improving greatly. Here is as picture of Jamie and me with the sign that says don´t jump. Oops! And yes, I look like I am middle aged in my sun-blocking shirt.
We talked to the Swami´s and the preaching stopped. Now the Sutras are just presented as good guidelines that we can think about, try out and keep if they agree with us. Much better.
I can´t believe I only have 10 more days of the program. Today was the first day I stood up an taught the whole group (16 people). It felt wonderful. I love to give presentations and I like to tell people what to do so I think this is a great job. I am starting to see myself as a teacher when I couldn´t imagine that only a few weeks ago. The program works. And I love anatomy. The body is so cool. Amazing. We studied the digestive system last night. And then related it to yoga poses and the yogic diet. These yogis sure have interesting ideas about eating. Most of it sounds pretty good. Chew food lots, vegetarian, natural whole foods, organic when possible. Don´t eat when you are still digesting the last meal. Have positive thoughts in your mind when you eat. Don´t drink liquids when you eat because it dilutes digestive juices and cools your digestive fire. Working well for me so far.
So I just received an email from this place I am thinking of living at in April: http://www.karacadir.com/
In addition to helping with projects and the garden, they said I would be in charge of two donkeys and two dogs. Hmm, what do you think? Can I hack it? Do I want to? I am getting over many fears (swam in lake every day since I found out I could swim- today was 18 minutes straight) but not sure I am ready for camping and farm animals. Plus, I want to be near some waves.
