Mysore Diary, Jan 22   

Yoga is getting tiresome. Feeling like not wanting to do it more and more.  IMG_0924
Just looking forward to when it’s over. Relieved to find out I’m not the only one to feel that way. I was talking to someone- my friend Vanya- she said she’s thinking about breakfast the whole time too. It was her birthday today and we took her out for breakfast.

We have a lot in common. She also designs costumes, and carries her art supplies around with her- like I do. She lives in Montreal and does costumes for film. She has friends who work for Cirque de Soleil so I’ve asked her about that.

Pampering Hair Day:

I had my hair colored last weekend but the dye did not cover well. Part of the roots did not take the dye.  And they offered to do it over. So in a few days I will have them do that. But meanwhile, I got a trim from them yesterday and today I got an oil treatment.  The girl rubbed coconut oil all thru my scalp and all thru my hair and I thought I was just gonna sit there for an hour and then it would be washed out. But no- she massaged my hear for a whole hour- maybe 45 minutes- I never had a head massage before- foot massage- yes- but all that time, she was running her fingers thru my hair, tapping, pressing- all kind of things she was doing to my oily head and it felt wonderful.  She is a trained massage therapist as well as beautician.  Never had that kind of treatment before!  She washed my hair too. ( some people choose to leave the oil in longer and wash it at home) but the shampoo is just as good as the head massage. There is a platform for your head to rest on as you lean way back to have your hair rinsed and the girls’ golden fingers are caressing your head the whole time. Then comes conditioner, and my hair feels like it belongs to someone else- transformation!
Today at Past Life class we got to lay down and nap as we took turns reciting the trance induction talk.
More of the same tomorrow – a napping class- I like this.  All is going well.  Namaste Annie
