Preparation

It's the year 2023 and I'm planning my escape from everyday life, letting go of "must" and diving into "what can be possible".

Planned are 3 weeks in India. A journey to the inner center.

After weeks of internet research, phone calls with the provider, and pondering, I am determined.

But, it won't be India, the birthplace of Yoga 🧘‍♀️, but Sri Lanka, 1,582 km away from India. I think I can accept that too.

Sri Lanka, also known as Ceylon until 1972, (hence the name for Ceylon tea) is an island state in the Indian Ocean with about 22 million inhabitants and is multi-religious; Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam prevail.

A colorful mix of everything, but what interests me most is of course the cultural heritage of Ayurveda, a traditional healing art.

Of course, one has to be a little naive or have the focus always on the positive in life, as there was a civil war until 2009 and a democratic constitutional reform was only carried out in October 2022. There are still economic difficulties, but hey, I want to detoxify, cleanse myself, and be content with little. 😆

I hope that despite all the renunciations, I will have the leisure to write this blog for you every day.

Maybe my journey will also act as a catalyst.

Not only for me but also for others.

As inspiration, perhaps to leave the comfort zone, to be on your own, to be very close to the center of events. To be one with the people and the world 🌍 we live in, to experience and pass on tolerance and acceptance. 🙏🏼
