Guatemala: Some Me Time


Today was another one of our free days in San Marcos. I just did an energy massage which was really interesting. It was color therapy, reiki, chakra balancing and regular massage.
So basically, I chose some colors that "called" to me and they meant something. The gist of what she said was that I need to talk about my feelings or they get bottled up inside, Im very in tune with the logical/rational part of my brain. Also, I am good at explaining things in different ways to different types of people and am my best when I am outdoors and surrounded by nature. Thats why Im an outdoor educator!
Then she gave me a shoulder/face massage and some reiki on my head and Ive never gotten that before but it was nice.
Then came the chakra balancing which was bizarre. She tapped on the part of my body that corresponded with the chakra and then tried to separate my hands which were together above my head. My third and fifth chakras were out of balance because my hands separated so easily for those. That was crazy. She did some energy stuff to re-align those chakras and while I was laying there with my eyes closed, my lips tingled which was crazy because she was aligning my throat chakra. After that was more massage.

In a bit Im going to get my Mayan birth chart read by the same woman who led our candle ceremony. Apparently thats intense.

Right now Im sitting on a dock. Its getting chilly cause the sun is going down. I was supposed to meet my ladies for lunch but have no idea where they all are cause the place we were going to meet was closed. Even in this tiny town I can't find them! I should leave for my reading soon anyway.

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...
