London/Delhi/Wow!

8 comments

Sat Nam divine ones!

The journey has finally begun, made it out Thursday without problems, went through Chicago and to London for the night, on to Delhi today.  We flew over the most amazing snow capped mountains, and frozen water, I kept hoping to see some sort of wildlife, but none!  That was to London. Little sleep as we were several hours late getting into London. Next morning, or was that this morning, back to Heathrow and off to Delhi, with a few hours delay, we took off. These miles I cashed in were worth every dime, I got to sit “up top” in the plane, and that was way deluxe!  I have always wanted to see what was up there!  So, no complaints on the flights.

Landed in Delhi, cool, it says “Namaste” in the airport on a huge sign right when we approach immigration and there was the most awesome music playing, I really liked that. BTW, seems everyone is wearing a turban, as we are in the main Sikh region, but only men wear them and they are black, burgundy or maybe dark blue.  Very elegant.

I am finally nearly delirious from no sleep, rested on plane but I just realized, I really haven’t slept all night since Wednesday night, so, oh well, tonight or rather today I will sleep. I will return to the airport tomorrow morning, Sunday, to meet up with my group and we head to Amritsar and the Golden Temple.

So far, I have used a bit of what we do, that is, BREATHING, chanting and meditating. That night in London, I think I was so tired I felt pretty emotional. So, in bed I did the SA TA NA MA meditation and breathwork, and I was incredibly relieved and calm. Then on the plane, I listened to the mantras and kept myself really relaxed. The cab ride at 3 am through Delhi, was nearly scaring me, but again, AD GURAY Nameh, delivered me.  I did the whole radio taxi thing, but still, this is not anything like what we are used to, and I guess being a woman and alone at 3 am got to me. BUT, I was safe and soundly delivered to my hotel and am now all snuggled into my room.

Well, that is all for now, and I am just happy to have made it safely, and also, so very glad to have these tools, because with no sleep for 2 days my mind could play games, but something bigger is working with me. I promise to take photos!

Love to you all,
Denise
