I just sat down to meditate and realized I forgot to post. I only meditated for 20 minutes. My practice has not been great lately, although I’ve kept up with morning pages for over a year and still practice Reiki daily, although my practice isn’t as strong as it once was.

I’m in Khajuraho. The train was late getting in, but I got here around 8 am and was able to get a room right away. I met some nice girls from London and spent some time chatting with them. After, I went to the group of temples that is closest to where I’m staying. They’re very beautiful. I stayed at the temples for quite a while and then came back to my hotel room and took nearly a 4 hour nap. I was surprised I slept that long, but probably needed it. I have been getting up super early lately and although I slept relatively well on the train here, it wasn’t like getting a full, refreshing nights sleep. Tomorrow I plan to rent a bike and see the temples that are further away. I wouldn’t mind have another really relaxing day in preparation for Varanasi which I imagine will be a zoo. I got a hotel booked at a reasonable price that got decent reviews. I’m excited to bike around tomorrow and maybe spend some time reading as well. I signed up for a course on coursera that I can watch some of the videos for. I don’t have a great track record when it comes to completing them, but I watched a couple of the videos earlier and think I’ll really like this course. It’s on writing and science fiction. Ok, I’m off to bed. Tomorrow I will be sleeping in. I set an alarm for 8:30. I can’t imagine not having woken up by then.
