Damn! What an intense month. After the first week, I had doubts as to whether or not I would be able to finish what I came to do. My body was over heating and breaking out in a heat rash. It started small so I thought nothing of it but it spread all over my chest, up my neck, down my left arm and was working its way down my legs. I had diarrhea the whole time (with the exception of the last 3 days) and nearly shit myself on multiple occasions. I was getting owned by mosquitos at night. I’d wake up itching all over, slightly wet from sweating because there was no ac. It was over 100 every day and the only real relief was a dip in Ganga. Unfortunately by the time I walked back up the hill to the school I was a hot & soggy mess again. It was so hot that even a cold shower was on the warm side. I wasn’t sure how I was going to push forward. I just kept telling myself that cooler temps would come and, I got this. It’s all I could do. Thank fuck it started to rain shortly after and the temps lowered. The heat rash faded. I found a way to ward off the mozzys and was able to sleep for more than 4 hours a night. The diarrhea is gone now too. To top it off, I didn’t shit myself once! I FUCKING MADE IT! No other place has tested my mental strength so much. I can hardly believe I made. I didn’t miss a single class either.

All that to say I had such a great experience. All the yoga, dips in Ganga, waterfalls, fresh fruit, new friends, ashram visits, kirtan sessions and a trip to the Taj Mahal were worth it all. I feel like I have leveled up as a human. ♐︎
