Back in the land of coconuts…

Posted by: avocadogirl on: March 14, 2009

Yes, I’m back in Thailand. Here for two weeks on a 100 hour pranayama course.  Part of my teacher training, but mainly for me to deepen my own pranayama practice. Will be a tough couple of weeks, but am most excited. Was out and about today (course starts Monday), and found my durian supplier. Rather [...]

Christmas Cheer from Thailand

Posted by: avocadogirl on: December 25, 2008

Feels strange. Doesn’t really feel like Christmas, which is kind of nice. If we were in Japan, hubby and I would be working. Yet, there is a little sadness that I’m not with family in the UK.  We headed out to the mountains to see some waterfalls. There were elephants treks there. Obviously, we didn’t [...]

Angels

Posted by: avocadogirl on: December 22, 2008

Everyday I choose an angel card. Have been doing so for over a year now. When I travel I take them with me. They speak to me. I learn from them. I like to flick through the pack sometimes and just look at the messages and focus on the pictures. I have a particular way [...]

Cleaning and Thinking

Posted by: avocadogirl on: November 19, 2007

  A week into my course at Yoga Thailand. What can I say? It is intense, classes all day – starting at 6.30am and usually retiring to my room at 9.00pm. So much to absorb, homework every night. Trying to make sense of the scribbles I have made throughout the day. New chants floating around [...]

Returning

Posted by: avocadogirl on: November 9, 2007

Tomorrow I leave Japan for five weeks, to the place where I call my sanctuary – Koh Samui, Thailand.At the moment I am overcome with emotion. I have waited for this next step in my yogic path for a long time, and am incredibly excited although nervous. I’m actually feeling a little sick at the [...]

My Last Coconut

Posted by: avocadogirl on: April 10, 2007

As I write this I am sat outside my home of the last two weeks drinking fresh coconut. We leave paradise in just a few hours. Am always sad when I leave Koh Samui. All feels so right for me here. The good news is my hubby isn’t not wanting to move here. We have [...]

Does fruit give you crazy dreams???

Posted by: avocadogirl on: April 7, 2007

Damn bloody thing!!! I wrote a really long blog and then it disappeared. I didn’t press a thing…How annoying is that? I’m managing to sleep better, although the wild dreams are still present. Can’t make them out at all when I sit down and try to analyze them. I was getting really grotty when I [...]

The Avocado Alien Has Landed

Posted by: avocadogirl on: April 4, 2007

This is just a short blog tonight. Am going through my insomnia phase and after the 2 hour pratice I had this morning and travelling to another island, my eyelids are finally closing. Anyway just wanted to share a couple of photos. Will write more tomorrow.

The Best Ever!!!

Posted by: avocadogirl on: April 3, 2007

I actually started this blog last night, but was having difficulty downloading photos, and it’s a blog that must have photos. You’ll read why in a minute. Yesterday one of our durians opened…oh the joy! oh the rapture!! So, we ecstatically ate it on our balcony. Honestly, we was the BEST DURIAN EVER. Very creamy [...]

Durians still shut tight…but smell great!

Posted by: avocadogirl on: March 31, 2007

Today my man and I took it easy, as the retreat starts tomorrow. Sunbathing and swimming this morning, then a thai massage this afternoon. There was a gentle breeze today so I sat out with my laptop and did some work – yoga related so doesn’t feel like work really. My Food Today Breakfast 2 [...]
