Day 8

The night was rather restless today. Maybe because of the full moon, maybe because of the wind. Speaking of wind. Today I did something that I didn't think I would ever try. I went surfing with Tina and John, two other guests from Isolabella. Our surf lesson started at 06:30 AM and we had the whole bay in Hiriketiya to ourselves at first.

Chamath, our surf instructor, did warm-up exercises with us and then explained exactly how to stand up on the board. After the dry land exercises, we went straight into the water. As soon as Chamath spotted a perfect wave, we paddled off on command and stood up when he said "stand up!". What can I say, it was so cool and so much fun! A wonderful feeling of pride and freedom! 🏄🏻‍♀️

The rest of the day was wonderfully relaxed. Massages, massages, massages. I did a lot of reading and enjoyed doing absolutely nothing.

After dinner, we were allowed to meditate with a monk. We enjoyed a sound bath and then enjoyed a mantra.

I still feel energized, light and empowered. It may be because of the cleansing day or the medication I continue to take in the morning and evening. I don't know, and it doesn't really matter. I simply enjoy this wonderful feeling!
