No straight A's this time, well all A's except for one B as i took a day off and apparently showing up to class is a big deal. Who knew.
I wish i had updated this sooner as it seems so long ago. We had some really cool instructors/classes last quarter. One in particular on craniosacral therapy. Which i thought was just a really intense head massage, i was wrong. Still not entirely sure about it but all i know is i experienced it fully in receiving. Laying on the table, seeing that the practitioner was only holding my body not moving it - i could feel my whole body roll away from the table. This is a very primitive description of my experience but it was incredible. As she held my sacrum i could feel it tilt forward and though i wasnt crying tears starting flowing, it wasn't painful but just a pure release and no more pain in that area. With this therapy one is invited to speak about what they are feeling or if they knew what the release was about if you dont know they say its your bodies choice to go through it again you dont have to.
We are getting so overloaded with information I do feel frustrated at times as it's just the surface. I want to know more! Not that we could handle anymore information in this time frame but I am excited for further training.
Now what kind of adventures have I been on. I did celebrate my birthday here, which was a lot of fun. The day was chill as we had school, I received 3 hours of massage between class and the monthly instructor massage, we watched the vice presidential debate and then went out dancing. I received my Bday package from April that day as well so i had a new party dress to play in also new clothes from mama. A day of being spoiled. Since i had such a release from massage there were no shots for the birthday just lots of dancing and foosball.
For our midway celebration and passport renewal the school took us to Nicaragua.
The resort was incredible, each house a different layout with a beautiful view. It is also called the stairmaster resort as 350 stairs take you to the top where the infinity pools are. You really had to be hungry or bored to venture off the mountain. The town itself was okay, I believe we have been spoiled in Costa Rica with a bit more social development and a better economic standing. Though neighboring borders Costa Rica is the richest of the central american countries and Nicaragua is the poorest. The trip there was beautiful, can't have a road trip now without volcanoes, just not the same.
The last day there I had a lovely combination of possibly sunstroke and eating something nasty. I was up all night loving on the porcelein and praying that it would be over before i borded the bus for a 7 hour ride. Dehydration kicked in and the kidneys kicked back. It took another couple days to fully recover, gatorade and me were best friends neat the end.
Little lax on the updating arent I. Vasically the last quarter was a little stressful, so I turned to Cubra Libres and dancing.
I committed myself to learning how to surf in November. A little scared now that its coming up, but something about those waves is calling me. As long as I come out alive I will keep you posted on that adventure.
We are our first week into the 3rd quarter and its a pretty easy one. Nice to have a bit of a break.
Feel like I am missing something here....oh well.
Miss you all and will be ready to come home in December!
love love
