Very sore, much to take in, still overwhelmed but slowly slowly settling in. No honking up the road between hotel and the yoga school. A wonderful view on my favourite part of Rishikesh, the Lakshman Jhoola Bridge.
Tonight I had a very nice conversation with someone who was also wary of the relentless in your face positivity of some members of our group - which is,overall, quite nice though! 41 girls and Alessio, our pet Italian.
I'm not the only one after all who is having trouble with this categorical rejection of anything "science," and Western, and the a priori embrace of all things from here. Oddly that goes together with the excited/triumphant "it's science!" whenever there is overlap.
This is good because I had started to feel like the Judas in a group of ready self converts, and to be scared of being expelled for spreading negative energy. (Levitation, holy cow pee against cancer, are you kidding me??!)
After six days quite hardcore training, tomorrow is "off" - which means laundry, homework and exam preparation plus an optional visit to the Beatles ashram. Not that optional since I haven't moved further than the street where the hotel and the training studio is, the high street with its minishops of almost identical fare, and the "Royal cafe" where I love to eat, looking over "mama ganga". If the internet connection will allow it, I'll post pictures - electricity and internet stop regularly but it's not too bad.
