Well.. the trip is great. This is our last week at the Ashram. Things are much calmer there. No more getting up at 5 and meditating/chanting. This week we are all just teacher our final lessons, and have time to go not town almost everyday.
The most interesting thing I've done is go to the "Marble Man". He is famous man that is known for sticking a marble stone on your head and then saying everything that is wrong with your health. He is known to predict cancer, AIDS.. you name it. We went with a group of 20 people and we all got to see what he had to say (assuming the translation was correct-he did not speak english.) It was a little hard to witness the amount of privelage we were given. Our of literally hundred of people waiting, our teacher knew the man and we were allowed to cut in front. Most of us being very healthy, it was very strange. I wanted to hear what he had to say so I went ahead and did it. Some people in our group felt too strange and decided to just watch.
He told me to stop eating so much spciy and greasy food-It was causing some of my digestive/sinus trouble. (Funny because the day before I ate a lot of it and I felt so sick!)--but what about all the green chili I was raised on?
Today I got my eyes checked at a wonderful eye doctor and it only cost me $2. I'm going to order glasses this week.
Well, I'm heading back to the ashram to teach my final lesson! After 7pm tonight I will be finished with my yoga studies there.
I'm so curious about the election. Keep me updated!
