eat...pray...love

I think everyone has it's own some kind of eat, pray and love story, and so have I. Elisabeth Gilbert though has the original one, maybe you've seen the movie with Julia Roberts playing as Elisabeth Gilbert. The love part of the movie takes place on Bali, here in Ubud.

I want to share my kind of eat, pray and love story with you...

Eat:
The eating-thing started in Thailand and continued on Bali. The Indonesian food is just fabulous. For those who know me a bit better...or had already the opportunity to take breakfast with me ;-), they can probably remember how grazy I am about peanutbutter and every made of peanutbutter, like peanutcookies or satay, well...it's all here! Not to forget to mention the lovely cakes they make here. Okay okay I admit my sugar addiction!

Pray:
After leaving Switzerland, I hardly took time for my meditation, but it all came back to me here in Ubud. Maybe not always that much and that long as I wanted to, because of a painful leg of nerving animals that interrupted my calming mind. Nevertheless even these more or less short meditations have given me enough strengh and courage to sign me in for my second Vipassana retreat...this time in Cambodia.

Love:
A dear swiss friend of mine forecasted my future like this; you will meet a handsome hotelowner, or better his son, who will invest in your own yogastudio in Ubud. Ofcourse you will marry him and get lovely kids...
Someone from the Fitnesscentre in Winterthur is probably still hoping that I will find a nice cute balinese man and come back home pregnant. And this week a balinese woman saw my future like this; you will find your man in Cambodia and come back to marry here in Ubud.

Well I can tell you, none of these stories have become realistic yet...but I did fall in love.
I developed my deep, deep love for yoga. Sometimes I just can't help it to smile whole time during the yogaclass, and sometimes tears from blessing and happiness just appear like that.

I developed a deep love for a yogateacher. He is yoga, he is inspirativ, he is full of love. His classes are nothing else than harmony and give me energy. I can just love him for being here at the time I'm here as well.  

Actually I've fallen in love with life again. It's such a blessing being here, doing this, sharing a part of my journey with my sister, having time to think things over, get my thoughts more clear, getting better connected to my feelings and my inner being.

Slowly I'm getting centered more and more...my heart is open...and is wondering what is more to come!
