Before I start I have to post the pic I took of the little girl who sat next to me in Mandrem when was writing e-mails. It amazes me that sometimes the traditional goes high tech--this was a hole in the wall internet place with home separated by a curtain. Her Dad said I could take a picture of her b/c she was making me look at all of her doodles on the computer, jabbering to me without a care that I didn't understand...super cute.
Well, I have made my way to Miramer...which is not much of a place but it is the home of Barracuda Divers in the Goa Marriot Hotel..slightly stunning hotel with full on security..I had to pass through metal detectors and get my bag searched before I entered.
I made arrangements yesterday to stop in at the Anjuna Market and then head to Miramer. Here you hire a taxi and they wait on you while you shop and than take you to your next destination. It is high class next to taking the bus. Especially when you are unsure if the bus is going to be on time, or for that matter even show up.
The day before last we went to Patric the healer. He was a lot younger than what I thought..in fact I think I expected someone with white hair..not sure why but that is what I expected. I have been having a lot of problems with my lungs and sinuses so I thought I would check it out. We left at 6 in the morning so we could sign up in the book and actually be able to see him..we wer not the first in fact by 6:30 There were already 42 people signed up and there was another 50 that followed until they finally wrote closed. It was people of all sorts, disabled, Indian, Israeli, Brazillian... a whole czech family (10). We had breakfast and waited for our turn. I got to sit in a chair and he stood in front of me. I shared the things that I wanted to this young man and he smiled and asked "Is that everything?" I said "Yes" and he stood in front of me with his hands out and his eyes closed. In the response to breathing problems he said: you do not have enough cilia in my nose. He said that without it my upper sinuses open and try and cleanse which creates an overabundance and makes it difficult for me to hear and breathe! All this without even looking up my nose...and yet more information than I have recieved from any doctor..or healer. He was a very kind soul and said that he would help me with time..I am not sure how but somehow it did make me feel better.
Sooo for the cynics in the crowd, the special note is that he does not charge anything. There is a donation box and a sign requesting that all people become selfless...in fact the sign went so far as to request items for nearby orphanages in the area (clothing, soaps, towels) It was very interesting..especially because I just felt good after leaving him..just really really good.
However, not as good as I did after the Ayurvedic Shirodahara massage. It was to create balance in the body and balance the dosha's vatta and kapha. It was sureal. I felt like I had an out of body experience. Who knew that dropping hot oil on person's forehead could make you lose your mind? It was more than just the oil..there was also a scalp massage..back massage... and the oil treatment...it was very, very euphoric and I would reccomend it highly to anyone.
This finished my day with supper and music and a bunch of hippies on the beach singing rajas...quite a day
