GOA:

I am quite familiar with the best beaches & other places in North Goa.
Here's some info. on goa tours..

Goa has some pristine beaches, historic places & many good Shacks, Bars & Restaurants for great food & drink by the beach & other locations by the riverside etc..

Panjim City Walks - discover Fountainhas area with its rich history by walking through the streets.
The Market is a great place to see & the evening sunset walk along the Mandovi river or
a river cruise is a great way to wind down the day..

I can be your guide & companion for a relaxing river cruise on a private Yacht or
traditional boat with light drinks on the deck.

Historic places are charming, filled with facts & stories of a byegone era & a must see for people visiting goa.
Dolphin sighting boat cruise, Early morning or evening Kayaking are very relaxing..
It's just a call away to have that organized.. :)

Enough said, let's get the ball rolling..

Cheers & Love to All..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Why 1, here are a few..

1) Did Pranayaam on Anjuna beach at 4 AM onwards and opened my eyes to the sunrise and three dogs lazing away next to me lying on their back..

I was "breathing in the waves totally" and just surrendered to nature let it heal me..
It was deeply healing experience after intense trauma of loss of my father to. Cancer & grief.

And the dogs changed the whole situation; they seemed to be saying "dude, just chill like we do, we are totally naked on the beach :) I burst into laughter realizing that there's absolutely nothing more important than to be fully present in the moment & have a good sense of humor that can take a lot of unwanted stress away from my life..

Yes, i did get totally naked with my intense feelings & let it go.. and experienced great emotional freedom

2) My second experience was on Morjim beach in 2014... I wanted some time by myself as my past experiences of loss, were causing some subtle emotions that I was dealing beith.. I walked to the shallow waters at night, gentle winds caressing my body, I was just staring at the beautiful stars and dark space of the night sky..

I felt a deep connection with the galaxy, a dark, silent and deeply loving embrace.
It held me like a mother holds its baby to her heart and bosom.
As I breathed deeply, my heart and mind quivered a bit and then...

"There was a deep appreciation for LIFE !"

I just can't put it in words, it was such a profound experience, that it healed all pains and was truly a spiritual experience :) I sure hope each of you have such experiences too..

Its a very very beautiful world and everything is amazing.. Take time to discover it.. Make your own path..
