Now comes the best stop of the journey, the one we purposely ventured into. Other parts were just stages of a game to get to this perfect zone.
Finally, we entered our room with aching bodies and hearts. Have you noticed someone can put you in the most beautiful place you will ever see and your mind won't let you snap out of something stupid that won't matter in days? Some kind of switch that turns off and makes you believe all you need to think about is the past that is literally past.
After two days, we were back in our own skin. Vikasa vikasa, this resort gave us new goals in life. We saw group of teachers undergoing yoga training. They got geeta mahabharat lessons from experienced people. They had access to good food all day. They stayed in these beautiful beach huts. There were so many things I loved about this experience.
Yoga yoga yoga, how yoga is taught makes it peaceful or athletic. Yoga is all about breathing, practicing in peace. In our hot yoga rooms, we just run through it. Ohh and who wouldn't want to be near those chirping birds and falling waves. It was magical like someone put yoga in perspective and designed a sanctuary around it. Some of the poses that I didn't even attempt in class , I just sailed through in Vikasa. Shavasana was given importance finally. We practiced together, it was amazing. He's getting so much stronger and flexible, only competition I can adore :)
Food omg food. Imagine a vegan place where they serve healthiest yummiest food. We were in awe of their menu, even their cocktails were interesting fruity combinations. We didn't have to go anywhere outside for lunch dinner. It was a dream buffet. Everything that is nourishing was served. Smoothies, chia jars aah filled our brains with so many ideas we could bring home and add to our home menu. Food by the ocean. Ohh, I should add them to our home menu.
Then of course chill. We chilled most of the day, read books, took naps, sat around beaches, meditated aah from that time meditation has been a tough cookie to crack. More on that in next post.
Dogs in koh samui are super friendly. There is this yogi dog henry in vikasa, he comes for yoga classes and just sits patiently like he's meditating. Everyone loves Henry. Some dogs hang out around shops and they are so cuddly, they don't pounce or get too excited, they are just there if you want to feel good hanging out.
Massages aaah massages, long painful massages. It was the first time so when she came with those knuckles and knees, god I just breathed through. It feels kind of royal laying out by the ocean getting massages. It kind of broke my body consciousness too. Ohh amazing amazing amazing. All the tiredness from wedding, heat, mental chaos dissolved in it.
Above all, people in thailand are always ready to help. They are polite, courteous to be around. Its not a touristy vibe you get.
Somehow being in a place surrounded by people who are doing what you might eventually do gives a lot of courage to be on the path. A place like this widens your horizon of living. Live more fully. Be more happy. Break your biological identity. Its time to turn into your own and shine.
Beautiful silent places do help with yoga, peace, meditation. I hope one day one of these places becomes my future home.
When you plan a trip like this, go in relaxed state otherwise some time might go in bringing yourself back to normal and then going to happier version of yourself. In fact why not turn our home into this yoga sanctuary, my own vacation home. Hmm, gotta work on that.
Thanks,
NAMASTE
