The entire community of 21st century people is sick and tired of work andstudies, stress and pressure. We are all suffering from hurry sickness and badlyneed some time for full relaxation. And what is the best way to relax? I supposeit`s just to have a perfect day when no one will disturb you from deepmeditation and relaxation.
I am dreaming about having a perfect day somewhere in India or Goa, the place, which is notspoilt by civilization. I would probably wake up around 10 a.m and tuck into a delicious Indian breakfast oа pancakes with lots of curry powder. Then I`d take to the backwater for three or fourhours. Later on, having had an indulgent lunch, I`d lie in a hummock, sipping fresh coconut milkthrough a straw and reading a good book. I might follow the footsteps ofHollywood stars, to come to such places in search of relaxation, massage andnatural healthcare facilities, which date back more than 3000 years. Thesetreatments use herbal oils made from the exotic spices. Poured very slowlyacross your forehead, the oil feels like a cow licking you. This might soundrevolting, but is actually very enjoyable for people suffering from stress andstrains of modern life.
After supper, totally relaxed, I`d head for bed, putting an eye-mask in order to avoid being wokenup by the early sun.
