ah. processing panchakarma. Ayurvedic detox and rejuvenation. I just returned from a week at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque — Dr. Vasant Lad and Ed Danaher. Slathered in oil for days from head to toe. Treatments with ghee and herbs. No TV, no radio, no computer, no facebook! Just me, the therapists, the oil, Muktananda and Mararishi Mahesh Yogi (books, not in person – but maybe spiritually present!) I’m writing in these weird, incomplete sentences because I can’t really form the thoughts just yet. All I know is that this was my third panchakarma in a year and a half, and the effects build up one upon the other and it’s deeply — and simply — profound.

more to come.
