Today is our last day in Nepal. White is today’s color at the hotel. Here is the information about Friday:
– the gem for the day is the diamond.
– Venus is the planet. When it comes to the symbolic meaning of days, Venus is a highly appropriate “vibe” for Friday, the traditional end of the workweek day. Venus is about love, connection, belonging, comfort, sensuality, and passion.
– Friday is a great day for pleasure and appreciation; trips to places that make you feel indulged, luxurious, or pampered are good too.
– Today, appreciate the people on your life, go on a date, show your love, recognize beauty, and make new friends. – The plant for Venus is the Cluster Fig. The cluster fog tree is astringent, a ti-diabetic, anti- asthma, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-ulcer, anti-pyretic (a fever), and anti-diarrheal in action. It’s latex is used to treat piles (remember from yesterday that those are hemorrhoids). The bark of the tree is used to treat infections, swelling,man’s inflammation. This one doesn’t seem to be the wonder drug like yesterday, but it’s not bad.
I woke up well before the alarm I set so that I could see Maryse before her 7:30 am pickup. It is interesting that none of us has slept well here; it doesn’t make sense, the setting is beautiful and serene and the activities are all designed around health, wellness, and relaxation. I wonder if it may be the altitude. I don’t think we will ever know. Christian was early to pick up Maryse, and off she went…
In passing the maitre d’ heard me mention that I woke up with a sore throat. He made me a wonderful turmeric and thyme tea! Here is the recipe.
After having the tea, I decided to wait to have breakfast until after my pranayam class. PranayamI was the only one in the class, with the same teacher I had for meditation yesterday. I didn’t understand her much better today! In the class I learned four different breathing techniques for relaxation. I found two to be nice, and there is zero chance I will ever do the two other ones again. One of the “bad” techniques involved snorting like a pig! It is supposed to help your vocal chords.
On my the way back down the mountain, I viisted the salt room for a final time. Since I don’t feel all that well, I figured it couldn’t hurt!
