I splurged the last few days and have stayed at one of the top spa destination resorts in the world. I had always wanted to stay at Ananda of the Himalayas. I have totally blown my budget for the month and will now live like a pauper the next 10-days. I had a couple of nice spa treatment including a Tibetan Ku Nye Massage, using warmed tiny salt bolstices. An Ayurveda Heart Chakra opener using hot oil poured into a wheat gram reservoir on the chest. I should feel loved now! Hehe I also enjoyed a Kudalini Back Massage complete with a full body scrub using essential oils of black pepper, ginger and cardamom. The kundalini is an esoteric form of energy located at the base of the spine. One she is awakened…………..look out!
I had a lovely room overlooking the town of Rishikesh and the Ganges River! I enjoyed two long baths in an oversized tub. This is only my second bath in India. Usually I use a 5-gallon bucket and a dipper cup to get cleaned.
What I liked he best is everyone is given white pajamas, a long cotton kurta top and matching pants. So there is no pretension, everyone looks the same. Nice to wear your PJ’s to dinner! I’ve gotten a little sick due to the rich food, a bit of alcohol and strong coffee. I had an egg sandwich three mornings in a row. I miss my eggs but am still remaining vegetarian other than eggs and cheese.
An American lady I met at my 21-day class came up and spent the day with me before she was off by train to Delhi then a flight to Goa. I’ll see here there in a few weeks. She has lived in India for 40-years.
Checking out later today and staying at a very cheap guest house. What a difference a day makes!
