Milestones ...
6 months post treatment
15 months post diagnosis

At times I wonder, with a slight irreverence, WTF was that all about ..

And as I sit in reflection...

I find, with ease, grace and reverance, the gratitude, the ability to sit in the moment, to find calm in any storm, and peace in any situation.

Yes, the experience has changed me ...

I don't fit well into social situations,
I question more than many
And reflect more than most.

I live harder, love fuller, but with more discernment.

I hold my friends and family close, and can easily let less important relationships drift.

I see life on a different plane now, more like an eagle flying above life, rather than beavering away in it.

Some things remain constant, however ..
Gratitude for every experience;
Love of all beings;
Faith in a higher power, and in my own intuitive healing power..

And an appreciation of the sanctity of my life.

Bless 💛🌟💫

Ohhh my, where did that 40+ years go... ?

Still hanging at the BHP
Still laughing
No dancing outrageously or sneaking off!

And exceptional to see Annie Carey ...

And so it ends ...

An amazing 2 weeks travelling 3 states and 1 territory in Southern India with # seeing sights and experiencing culture in the purest state possible whilest staying safe.

And then, the most wonderful 2 weeks immersing myself in all things Ayerveda ... treatments, tutorials, cooking classes, delicious food, and constant medical monitoring and the most caring therapists in an immaculately clean environment ... all designed to nourish and heal and balance my body gently and naturally back to health.

Heartfelt thanks to Durgama Ayurveda and The Health Village for the most caring, kind experience.

Abundance and blessings to every one ofyou.

If you have ever wondered ...

Yes, a sari is supremely comfortable and adjusts easily for pregnancy or body changes.

It is draped to allow breathability, movement, and modesty, and it is cool.

More formal draping and fabrics may be less comfortable.

A fitted blouse is warn underneath, but they were too small for my b***s!

The sari requires smaller steps, and almost kicking the pleats to move forward .. if you step on the pleats, the whole garment unravels ( thank goodness for safety pins!!)

Thanks Esther for your generosity.

Such fun !!

Returning to India has reignited so much in me.

Clearly, my love of travel, and especially this country.
Her people, the colour, the music, the antiquity, the noise, and the peace by her rivers.

What is more important to me after last year, is my coming back to herbs, to spices as natural flavour enhancers, to natural food, prepared consciously, and to a deeper understanding of Ayervedic medicine, which aligns partly but well with my background in Western natural healing methods.

There are correlations, and vast differences, however one thing is clear to me ..

How easily and beautifully my body responds to pure food, natural medicine, intentional body treatments, and the tranquillity of this Health Village.

I knew this jouney was right for me with every ounce of my being,
Just as I know it this will become a regular non-negotiable in my calendar.

MYSORE (Mysuru): Palaces and incense

My, I loved this city.!!!

Following 14 hrs on the sleeper train it was great to freshen up and get into it.

With a few others, I explored the markets and the town on day 1, landing in on a theatre company who brought us backstage to watch the set-up.
Despite the unfamiliarity of the language, and very basic equipment ( and curious attempts at safety) that old rush of nerves and heart swelling when stepping on stage under the lights was the same.

Over dinner, we met 8 very funny men from Perth, who were motorbiking around the south. Hilarious tales and lots of laughter made for a great night.

Mysore is known as 'the city of the palaces', so the next day we headed for the 'main' Palace via TukTuk .... ohhh man, was this a highlight??!!
As with so many others, the Palace's history contains many episodes of destruction and rebuilding starting in the 14thC, with the current structure complete in 1912.

Ornate, Gold, towering pillars and beautiful cool rooms.
It is said to be cursed for >400 years, by a woman who committed su***de in preference to capture, cursing the royal family and it's descendants

And lastly, to complete my joy, we went to a certified, organic, essential oil and incense maker.
The fragrances were superb, and well-priced.
I made my first incense stick!

PS if you love incense, check where it was made. If it's pure, quite possible it's made in Mysore.

I revisited the old macrame skills today, by making a cute little bracelet.

What made it so special was ...
♡The pure cotton thread
♡Hand dipped in herbs, selected to match my dosa
♡Selected crystal in the middle
And ....
♡♡♡ My arthritic fingers are working easily when tying these tiny knots!!

The wonders of Ayurvedic healing, in so many different ways.

Blessed♡♡♡

Visit to Dhanwanthari Temple.

DHANWANTHARI is regarded as the source of, and the revered God of Ayurvedic medicine.
He is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who emerged during the churning of the ocean, bringing the sacred healing knowledge to humanity.
He is depicted holding a pot, containing ghee in one hand, and a leech in the other.

The offerings were for my loved ones in particular, and my healing team and friends in general.

We were blessed, and made our offerings, which were later returned (think im meant to eat all these now sacred bananas)and the blessing will be complete tomorrow morning by the priest.

I felt my heart explode with love during this process, so special

Day 7 and 8: Thekkady and Periyar National Park

We are in the mountains of Kerala, and it's finally cooler, but the storms continue.

Yesterday, 5 of us joined a local guide at 6.30am and set off excited see some wild animals. Childhood tales from Rudyard Kipling circulating in our minds even though everyone told us that the animals are shy, and don't come out in the rain.
Close fitting clothing was recommended, and we were supplied with leech proof gaters which covered our feet and lower legs.

Sadly, they were correct ...
We saw lots of birds, monkeys, water buffalo, and one gaur (the world's largest buffalo), one spooky looking spider, and 1000ds of leeches.

I got one in my eye, causing mild panic, and we were all contantly covered in them. This, plus the rain and the mud made for a less fun adventure however the jungle was beautiful, and we knocked up 13,000+ steps trudging about.
One leech bite on my arm bled til well in the arvo decorating 3 t shirts and my pants with blood spots, and I threw my shoes in the bin.

We took a sensational cooking class in the evening and thoroughly enjoyed our efforts for dinner.
I felt Jasmina's mum in 'Bend It Like Beckham ' would have been proud of our efforts in cooking 'full Indian meal with parota and pappadum (no chappatti)😉

I've got a slight dose of Delhi belly, but nothing too bad.
