時間過的這麼的飛快
原來 這麼久沒讓自己好好坐下來 跟自己對話
多麼想念 渴望這安靜 但我讓自己不停的忙 放不下的忙
忙著什麼呢
好想好想清靜 透徹的 輕 淨
想擺開心裡的束縛 我知道我是值得幸福的
但時間還未到吧 還是試煉的時候 還有一些揹著的包袱
拖繭而出不是容易的事
如果不夠勇敢 很容易又會回到退步的原點 而我不想這樣
生活裡的沈重是日積月累的
倘若每一天都是好好的面對 就不會累積什麼逃避的心情 人 事 物
想要大清掃一番
想要乾淨的空間 在內在外
想要回歸修行
與其想著身外事 我想往內行走 往內清潔 往內釋然
Niyamas
我需要這樣的再開始
with love, acceptance, forgiveness
I want to polish my light

Summary of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
We worship Shiva - The Three-Eyed Lord
Whose eyes are the Sun, Moon and Fire
Who is fragrant and nourishes all beings;
May he protect us from all disease, poverty and fear
And bless us with prosperity, longevity and health.
May he liberate us from death,
For the sake of immortality;
As the ripened cucumber is automatically liberated,
From its bondage from the creeper when it fully ripens.
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is a prayer to Lord Shiva (part of the hindu trinity, the lord of destruction, penance and meditation) for help in overcoming "death". The seeker is more concerned with avoiding spiritual "death" rather than physical "death". The mantra is a request to Lord Shiva to lead us to the mountain of meditation, which is indeed Lord Shiva's abode. Legend has it that Lord Shiva appeared before his devotee Markandeya (who was destined to die at the age of sixteen) and stopped his aging process a few days before he was supposed to turn sixteen. Thus, death would never be able to claim him! Hence, this mantra is also referred to as the Markandeya mantra in classical hindu studies. The mantra should ideally be repeated 108 times, twice daily, at dawn and at dusk.

Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
Om Tryambhakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan
Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat
Meaning :
We worship the Three-eyed One (Lord Siva).
Who is fragrant and who nourishes well all beings.
May He liberate us from death for the sake of immortality,
Even as the cucumber is severed from bondage to the creeper.i.e. By your Grace, Let me be in the state of salvation (Moksha) and be saved from the clutches of fearful death.
Another Meaning:
We worship Lord Shiva the three-eyed one,
the one who is the master of all senses and qualities and the
one who is the sustainer of all growth.
May He release us from the bondage of death
as a ripened cucumber is released from its stalk
and may He grant us immortality.
(not deprive us of immortality).
Significance of Mrityunjaya Mantra
The Maha Mrityunjay is a mantra that is said to rejuvenate, bestow health, wealth, a long life, peace, propsperity and contentment. The Mantra is a centuries old technique of connecting one to pure consciousness and bliss.
The prayer is addressed to LORD SHIVA. By chanting this Mantra, Divine vibrations are generated which ward off all the negative and evil forces and create a powerful protective shield. And it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind. It is a vibration that pulsates through every cell, every molecule of our body and tears away the veil of ignorance. It ignites a fire within us that consumes all our negativity and purifies our entire system. It is also said to have a powerful healing of diseases declared uncurable even by the doctors. It is a Mantra to conquer death and connects us to our own inner divinity.
Known as the Moksha Mantra of Lord Shiva, Maha Mrityunjay evokes the Shiva within and removes the fear of death, liberating one from the cycle of death and rebirth.
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is very much a protector from accidents, mishaps and daily calamities in the modern busy life.
When to chant :
Chanting the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra with sincerity, faith and devotion in Bramha Muhurata is very beneficial. But one can also chant it anytime in a pure environment with great benefit and discover the happiness that's already within.
This Maha Mirityunyaya Mantra is a life giving mantra. It is a mantra to keep us safe from harm, safely in the arms of the Lord. It has a great curative effect, against diseases of body and mind, if it is chanted with sincerity, faith and devotion. In these days, when life is very complex and accidents are an everyday affair, this holy Mantra comes to your rescue. It wards off death by snake-bits, lightning, water accidents, motor accidents, air accidents, and accidents of all kinds. Besides, It has a great curative power. Diseases that are pronounced incurable by doctors are cured by this Mantra, when chanted with sincerity, faith and devotion. It is a Mantra too conquer death.
It is also a Moksha-Mantra. It is Lord Shiva� mantra. It bestows health (Arogya), long life (Durgha Ayus), peace (Shanti), wealth (Aishwarya), prosperity (Rishti), satisfaction (Tushti) and immortality (Moksha).
On your birthday, repeat this Mantra with faith. It will bestow long life. You may repeat also at bed-side of alling persons.
To chant with the mantra or to have it playing in the background can be helpful in everyway as we allow its influence to permeate our consciousness
UNDERSTAND THE MAHAMANTRA
It is important to understand the meaning of the words as this makes the repetition meaningful and brings forth the results.
OM is not spelt out in the Rig-Veda, but has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given in an earlier Mantra of the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati. This Mantra is given in the Prayer page of my Book "Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutra".
TRYAMBAKKAM refers to the Three eyes of Lord Shiva. 'Trya' means 'Three' and 'Ambakam' means eyes. These three eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimurti or three primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and the three 'AMBA' (also meaning Mother or Shakti' are Saraswati, Lakshmi and Gouri. Thus in this word, we are referring to God as Omniscient (Brahma), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This is the wisdom of Brihaspati and is referred to as Sri Duttatreya having three heads of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
YAJAMAHE means, "We sing Thy praise".
SUGANDHIM refers to His fragrance (of knowledge, presence and strength i.e. three aspects) as being the best and always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling His virtuous deeds.
PUSTIVARDHANAM: Pooshan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world and in this manner, He is the Father (Pater) of all. Pooshan is also the inner impeller of all knowledge and is thus Savitur or the Sun and also symbolizes Brahma the Omniscient Creator. In this manner He is also the Father (Genitor) of all.
URVAAROKAMEVA: 'URVA' means "VISHAL" or big and powerful or deadly. 'AAROOKAM' means 'Disease'. Thus URVAROOKA means deadly and overpowering diseases. (The CUCUMBER interpretation given in various places is also correct for the word URVAROOKAM, but not apt for this mantra). The diseases are also of three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the three Guna's and are ignorance (Avidya etc), falsehood (Asat etc as even though Vishnu is everywhere, we fail to perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other senses) and weaknesses (Shadripu etc. a constraint of this physical body and Shiva is all powerful).
BANDANAAM means bound down. Thus read with URVAROOKAMEVA, it means 'I am bound down by deadly and overpowering diseases'.
MRITYORMOOKSHEYA means to deliver us from death (both premature death in this Physical world and from the neverending cycle of deaths due to re-birth) for the sake of Mokshya (Nirvana or final emancipation from re-birth).
MAAMRITAAT means 'please give me some Amritam (life rejuvinating nectar). Read with the previous word, it means that we are praying for some 'Amrit' to get out of the death inflicting diseases as well as the cycle of re-birth.

美麗的印記
Stay close to the teacher and teaching that resonate with you. Unlearn to learn, step into the Grace of the Guru, surrender and trust the teaching. Let go and fall into the river of spirit and energy.
-Stephen Thomas
貼近你心靈的上師，貼近與你有著共鳴的教學。學習去釋放所學，再進一步的學習，步入上師的恩典裡，相信、臣服於他的教誨。放開一切，溶入靈性與能量的河流裡。
春天是綻放曙光和新生命的季節，這時節帶來無限可能性、希望和夢想的生機，也正是在這個時候，我生命中重要的老師出現了，而我清醒舒服的行走在自然適合我的法性上。當我聽著 Stephen 說出上面的一段話時，我知道我回到了家，不需再往他處尋尋覓覓，因為當我準備好敞開學習的心，所有的教學便一一隨之而來。我很開心這份親近心靈恩典的到來，透過呼吸法、梵唱、瑜珈經學說、以及阿育吠陀養生學、基礎體位法、潔淨法、冥想的練習，將愛、慈悲和古老的智慧融合為一。
在TT 第一日，一整天喜悅的漣漪朵朵在心裡漾起，感受到自己再自然不過的完整存在於學習裡，打從深刻的內在覺得光亮溫暖，與自己的神性和超出本我之外的神聖能量連結。穩穩扎根在生命的呼吸裡，跟真實合而為一是如此的美麗。隨著一天天的學習和體會，知識像花瓣般一層層的從中心展開、疊起。從這次的培訓中我獲得一個珍貴的領悟，那就是帶著柔和的心練習，柔和在仁慈、尊重、不批判。將意念臣服於善，讓內在的老師引導方向。 信任、愛、呼吸到心的中央，放開自我、讓靈性闊展開來。持續不間斷的練習，因為用心付出的心力是不會消失的。
深深感謝太陽神 Surya、創造與毀滅之神 Shiva、大地之母 Parvati 、知識女神 Sarasvati 、守護之神 Vishnu、除障象神 Ganesha、火神 Agni 和風神之子 Hanuman，祂們所指引的光；也誠摯的向延續傳承古典教學的老師的老師們致敬。非常謝謝 Stephen，我們敬愛的導師，謝謝妳乃珍、Rachel、Judy、Michelle 和每一位親愛的TT靈性摯友美好的存在，多得我們一起創造如此充滿愛的美麗印記。我想要祝福大家源源不絕的愛與靈感，真摯希望我們能帶著光亮與所有的人分享我們自學習中獲得的禮物。

Beautiful Samskara
Stay close to the teacher and teaching that resonate with you. Unlearn to learn, step into the Grace of the Guru, surrender and trust the teaching. Let go and fall into the river of spirit and energy.
-Stephen Thomas
Spring is a time of birth and breath of new light, of possibilities, of hope, of dreams to come. It is during this time I awakened to be in the presence of the Guru, awakened in my Dharma. When I heard the passage above from Stephen, I realized that I am home. I need not seek further because the teaching has come when I am ready to embrace it openly. I feel so honored, so happy and blessed to find the teaching that I long to feel close to, the integration of love, compassion and ancient wisdom in the form of Pranayamas, Mantras and Sutras in addition to Ayurveda, fundamental Asanas, cleansing Kriyas and Meditation.
On Day 1 of TT, I felt ripples of happiness all throughout the day, finding myself present and whole in the learning, being where I am naturally meant to be and I felt such shine and warmth from the inner core of my being, feeling connected to Shakti, the divine energy that’s inside and beyond myself. How beautiful it is to feel one with Truth, rooting to the very breath of Life. As the Days progressed, the experiences unfolded and layered on beautifully. One precious understanding I gained in this training is to soften heart in practice, be soft in kindness, respect and non-judging. To surrender the mind and let the inner Guru guide the way. To love, trust and breathe into the center core, liberate self to expand in expression. To keep to practicing for no efforts will ever be lost.
My deepest appreciations to Surya, Shiva, Parvati, Sarasvati, Vishnu, Ganesha, Agni and Hanuman for their guiding light, utmost homage to Guru’s Gurus, to the classical lineage of teaching and learning. Thank you so much Stephen, our dear beloved mentor, thank you Naichin, Rachel, Judy, Michelle and every beautiful spiritual sibling in TT for being you, cultivating our loving Samskara together. I want to wish you love and inspirations, may we glow in sharing our gifts with all.

Attuning to Shakti
The energy in between
that is what i am learning to attune to
in it, there's no seperation
but the pure essence of being
in perfect balance and harmony
having shed ego...one humbles with expansion.

Music
As with all ways of creation in art, in music
whether it be singing, making melody, making rhythm, humming
it is the 'language', the mother tongue
In life and rhythm, there is no boundaries.
"No religion, no cast, no colors. One, wa are all human beings."
- 1 Giant Leap
Surrender to the beat, the pulsation of nature
the internal sensation of joy and be open to the full embrace.
Dare to love,
to dream,
to Be,
to become.
Dare to celebrate living, liberating minds, setting hearts free
to soar in the Divine, the Divine that exist within you, with in me,
within all the surrounding and beyond.
Be one with shining heart, clarity of light
Smile to the rhythm of life :-)

23 Days of Yoga TT 3/29-4/20
For every five days there was a day of rest, all together 4 Cycles
On the Day11 which was the rest day after Cycle 2 ended
it was exactly middle way in training, the Midway Interval
That afternoon I was on my way out to teach art
as I walked along the road to take the MRT
I discovered a little bird laying on the gravel
looked like it just passed away, still soft with luster,
so peaceful as if asleep
when I saw it I felt soft sorrow in heart
I walked forth several steps to find myself retrack
I felt I ought to do something
so the little bird would not be fetched by wandering dogs or cats
or be run over by cars
I took out a napkin and picked the little bird up
and put it in the near by big pot of bonsai
there the little body can rest under the shade
still getting a little sunshine
able to absorb dew and be close to soil
at that moment, I felt the weight of life in my left palm
so real, beautiul and fragile
I held in my hand, this little bird's entire existence
it has died and returned to nature
For brief seconds I felt a little fear
I caught myself with surprise with this little fear
and it brought me to comtemplate on life
the meaning of living and dying
and I grew this sense of respect in face of death
I felt trembles in this light of awakening
the little bird's coming into my life, even for that little while
reminded me the value of life
to cherish what exists in the now
to respect the realness in living
This was just a little incident
yet it has set ripples in my heart
on that day, the little bird became my teacher
It has taught me a lesson: to be gentle and kind in respecting life
from the beginning, the in between, to the end
Life is but compassion and so beautiful.

23天的培訓 3/29-4/20 每五天便休息一天 all together 4 Cycles
在第11天 也就是 Cycle 2 結束隔天的休息日 剛好是培訓一半的時候 Midway Interval
那天下午 我出門去教美術課
在住家附近往捷運的路上 發現一隻小鳥躺在路邊
看起來像剛死去 仍然柔軟有光澤 安詳的好像睡著一般
when I saw it I felt soft sorrow in heart
往前走了幾步後 又折了回去
我覺得我應該作什麼
所以它不會被狗貓叼走 或被車子碾過
我拿出衛生紙 將小鳥捧起 擺放在鄰近的一個大盆栽裡面
還是可以在綠蔭下照到陽光 吸收露水 親近土壤
在那當下我感受到生命的重量在我手裡
真實 美麗 又脆弱 在我手裡是這隻小鳥的一生
它逝去 回歸了大自然
當下我有小小的恐懼 這讓我省思生命 活著和死去的意義
and I grew this sense of respect in face of death
小鳥的出現
提醒了我生命的價值
更加珍惜存在當下 用心看待活著的真實
雖是小小的事件
卻在我心裡起了漣漪
這一天 小鳥是我的老師
它教了我一課: 溫柔 仁慈的尊重生命
從開始 過程 到結束
生命是如此慈悲 如此的美
在第11天 也就是 Cycle 2 結束隔天的休息日 剛好是培訓一半的時候 Midway Interval
那天下午 我出門去教美術課
在住家附近往捷運的路上 發現一隻小鳥躺在路邊
看起來像剛死去 仍然柔軟有光澤 安詳的好像睡著一般
when I saw it I felt soft sorrow in heart
往前走了幾步後 又折了回去
我覺得我應該作什麼
所以它不會被狗貓叼走 或被車子碾過
我拿出衛生紙 將小鳥捧起 擺放在鄰近的一個大盆栽裡面
還是可以在綠蔭下照到陽光 吸收露水 親近土壤
在那當下我感受到生命的重量在我手裡

Ode to Silence
Silence is a precious commodity.
Often we speak enormous amount of energy
sometimes trying to hard, in wanting to express opinions
wanting to be understood and not mistaken
perhaps wanting to persuade...even to share
do we forget to be more gentle
more respectful and allow space of quiet
quiet to settle ripples so all ease into balance and harmony
so there's no forced effort but a natural sense of serenity
when are words necessary
when is it good to conserve
to listen within self
in the film 1 Giant Leap
there was one passage that touches me deeply :
i want to know who is the person that takes care of me...
he talks when i stop talking, then i found i was only breathing
and everything begin to dissolve
only silence remains
but i have to listen
i have to listen to the silence
the deep surrender and ... that's cool.
i want to thank all who have shed light on wisdom in being silent
my true Gurus in life, the open beauty of nature, the trust in children and animal's eyes
the few but precious words that sink in deep that which speaks to my inner being
it is with great appreciation and gratitude that i walk this path with humble steps
dialogue starts within
from the soul
from the heart
breathing is the deepest truth
and i am happy to come to understand this.

Effort and Surrender
"Surrender and the teaching comes through you." -Stephen Thomas
In yoga practices and learnings after having devoted all effort
one surrenders completely and let go to trust the inner wisdom
to simply surrender and soak in the dedication
in the flow of soft deep energy
allowing the body space to take in the teaching, to remember
let it nurture one inwardly and out
shining beautiful energy, beautiful karma.

Day 1, Ripples of Happiness
How shall i begin...today is one of the most beautiful days in my life
of great openess, appreciation, many many smiles and more
as the day flowed on i grew happy and happier still
finding myself present and whole, being where i am natually meant to be
and i feel such shine and warmth from the inner core of my being
feeling connected to the natural energy that's in and beyond myself
how beautiful it is
this sense of wellbeing
i am rooted to the heart of the earth
to mountains, to trees, to grass, to rivers
to the ocean, to the sky, to the clouds, to the sun, the moon
to the very breath of life, i feel one with truth
that resonates the most wonderous energy with the best intention
and i am so happy to be living
so happy to be on the path of my dharma
such joy, such happiness welling up from the inside
i feel very much loved, simply being here and now
i feel so thankful
Stephen asked us in the morning
to set one's own Sankalpa: intention big and small, for the workshop
my Sankalpa is:
I'd love to learn how to ground
to be intuned and connect with inner wisdom
to root down well in foundation
to find a sense of freedom and clarity in center
learn how to integrate all aspects of yoga in everyday
to be of love and wisdom from the heart
to become a better teacher
knowing how to observe and be compassionate
be of support to assist others in safety and comfort
i want to be a healer
i want to be one pure minded
i love to learn to sing Mantras by heart
i love to get to know and understand yoga anatomy
i want to shine my light from the inside brightly
to take heart i am happy in the center
i am a loving shining spirit
there's such completeness cultivated today that i feel truly blessed
i am so thankful, for the field of energy
wisdom and guidence of the teacher, teacher's teachers
TT mates in walking the path side by side at this time
polishing our individual authenticity together
and as a whole creating a beautiful experience
i feel so fortunate to be learning
being mindful in the awareness that brings to light
OM Love
OM a Hum

Inner dialogue
Reality is reality as one allows it to be and become
whatever quest, challenge or obstacles
to ride the flow til one is able to be through to move on
it's all in the heart
when acting with heart, liberation comes
so often we see it all in the mind, in our ego's interpretation
and it traps one with such limitation and confinement
but that is not how life naturally is to be
how to be awake in the energy that has all the answers
so much more profound than the mind
to be with pure divinity and contentment
every person has one's own pathway
own route to that door
see that mind makes the contraction
let go to trust heart's voice and expansion can happen
as with all existence
we are complete inside, an universe within
a field of energy that resonate delicately
let the mind relax
celebrate with heart
let life unfold naturally
allowing answers to come
listen to the wisdom that's there
blessing, grace, beautiful energy
it has always been there inside and out
how to shed the excess layers in exterior
so we can be open and in touch with the authentic self
being whole and real, being true in clarity
acceptance
choices
trasformations
creation
feeling unconditional love
i am learning
i want to always be true
in living moments with compassion
kindness and understanding
we are all lightness of being
there's no need to resist when it feels so wrong
no need to cling on to attachment of negative emotions
no need to have to please, to placate, to be not true to self
we can learn better to setting good intentions
open heart to respect and forgive
forgiving in ways that one knows things can not be forced
some times it's not a matter of making effort
but a cause and effect in a deeper level, the karmic energy
what do we allow ourselves to bind to or bond with?
do we invite good energy or bad energy
do we allow suffering to root or can we
allow softness in seeing it through
how to be in this world
how to live feeling no shame, no guilt, no supression
simply be with a sense of natural ease and comfort
that is the true essence of our nature
how to let go of expectations
let go of wanting to be in control
control is all mind's talk
it is not language of the heart
when we are of love and stability in the core
everything else evloving on the outside is just a play
a dance contracting and expanding energy
how we are to swirl into chaos or be a smooth current
is all in our own doing of being or not being
be mindful
instill space so there's room to move around
we are not static or concrete
we can create what makes being... Happy

When it comes, surrender...
'Be steady and patient
work on it with patience and sincerity
and when it comes
let it go
surrender...
after learning the new
let the natural wisdom of the well being absorb the
teaching'

Third River
You are pulsating, vibrating
sound
color
light
there's sun and light inside
may that be bright'
-Stephen Thomas
with those words
i also jot down
inner peace
strength
wisdom
courage
light
essence
our theme today was on the third river
and we were to leave ourselves open to the theme
stephen said:
'we live in polarity
polarity of opposites all the time
there are two rivers, one happy, one sad
and in yoga we practice to find the third river
the third river is
deep deep peace
so much more profound than happy
that's no longer opposite
it is the existence within self
a feeling beyond word
beyond mind
beyond form
it can not be said, but be felt
the only way to have it is through experience'
in practice
there's body, mind, and heart in deep focus
being present, observing, dedicating, creating
and there are times that i feel that third river flowing
times when i feel genuine smiles surfacing from with in
as i take serene quality breaths
i think it's such a beautiful thing
to find self and the sense of wellbeing
when one hear the sounds within
the vast universe that exist inside
the warmth, we are flowing water
has one listened to self in the quiet?
how to allow silence into daily living
to reserve time for that inner retreat
that is what i'm experiencing
i like to find ways to be intuned to the palse within
that of life, energy, widom, love
stephen mentioned the word
'equanimity'
that exists within all
all were given that gift at birth
but we often forget that
how there's no need to panic
whatever is happening, it will resolve itself
allowing one to remain in the state of beautiful strong
inner feeling as the world goes crazy around
with each day's practice
before the asanas we'd practice several pranayama
breathing techniques...it's really interesting
fun and mindful when familiar with it
and it brings about amazing energy
up lifting with each round of breaths
wonderous effect in cleansing breaths
and uplifting energy, making prana and apana flow
smooth and long like an inner massage
there's so much in stephen's teaching
im happy to have come in light of such teacher
i do feel the glow as i practice...
feeling so complete and blissful at the end of the
session

淨化練習
決定了今天早上嘗試剛學習的一種淨化練習
於是從昨天傍晚六點後便未再進食 只有喝水
讓身體進入理想的空腹狀態
睡了一覺醒來
胃裡無負擔 感覺舒服自然
精神還不錯 有些好奇 小緊張
總是有第一次
ok的
準備:
一瓶 1500ml的水
一個煮水鍋 更多的水
以及 鹽巴
我要作的是 煮沸開水 然後熱水冷水各半調溫
倒入200ml 馬克杯中 加二三小匙的鹽
然後分幾次喝足 2000ml
之後 將手指放入喉中
讓胃裡的水出來
在開始水療練習之前
我先做了kabhalabhakti: skull shining, cleansing breath technique 的呼吸練習
在鼻子吐氣時 自然的縮腹 持續帶著韻律平穩的作120次 再休息
這是個醒腦的練習 可以將氧氣清新的往上推至頭部
準備好的時候 水也煮開了
我放的熱水比例較多 感覺這樣比較好喝
接著便一杯 一杯接著的喝
每次調一杯喝完再調一杯
這是我頭一回一次喝這麼多的水
一共喝了六杯 多於2000 ml 的溫熱鹽水
第一 二杯順順喝
三四杯則是鼓起精神把它喝了
每一口都是好大一口
邊喝邊感受到漲胃
開始有些噁心 得靠意志力喝
鼓勵自己 這是必經驗的過程
就快喝足了... 好好的喝完它
我意識到
原來喝水也可已變成苦差事呢
一種自我考驗的試煉
連續喝了五杯
感覺到了極限 必須停下來
如實的感覺再多喝一口 就要吐出來了
接著我到了廚房的水槽 站好前彎
做了頭一次嘗試
幾次手指的幫忙後
一柱水便從裡而外的沖出來
好像院子水管澆水般的水柱
同時感受到氣往上升到頭頂
從腹部到頭頂合而一氣的清新上去
那微妙的舒適輕盈感真另人驚喜
水很乾淨潤滑 透明帶點黏液
感覺我作的挺正確的 開心也放心 便持續的繼續作
每次間隔時 我會洗洗臉 漱漱口 深呼吸再繼續
也準備張椅子 想坐下時坐下
重複了幾次 每一次 （忘了數幾次）都是不同的感受
中間我又喝了第六杯
不同次的感受都是奇特的體驗
有間隔時 鼻塞 打噴嚏
也有像小狗吃草後的韻律反芻
一開始 喉嚨裡是無味但溫和
過程中也有感到甘甜的時候
最後覺得有些微的小鹹
邊淨化的時候 偶而會有些疑問
覺得喝不下時還要喝嗎？
吐出來幾次是夠了？
隨之我又會將專注帶回到練習上
有高椅子蠻好的
可以將身体坐正 坐穩
在最舒服的角度前傾練習
也將心胸放寬放輕鬆 延展脊椎 還有側腰
最後兩次出來小小口 我知道差不多了就停下休息
身體輕鬆 頭略昏 整個過程約一個鐘頭
好玩的是
隨後不久便想上去坐在馬桶上
排上排下 感覺是完整的療程
接著我感到睏 躺下來小歇一會兒
放著 Deva Premal mantra 的音樂
真是個寧靜的晴天 Sunday :-)
起來之後 精神好
做了些裡裡外外的家事
再準備簡單的 brunch
發現食物好吃許多呢
有好味覺 好胃口
帶意識的消化感受
平靜經歷一次身心洗滌
於是從昨天傍晚六點後便未再進食 只有喝水
讓身體進入理想的空腹狀態
睡了一覺醒來

下著雨
窗外是灰白色
是一個下雨天
氣溫回暖了兩天又逐漸下降
寒流第二波 就要來
這次我的心情反差比較小
有了多的耐心接受這一波
知道春天不遠了
現下的灰 不是永遠
我期待著即將放晴的天氣
感到安心而完整
所有都在一念之間
我們想要相信什麼
允許自己相信什麼
選擇什麼
生活不是那麼殘酷的不給選擇
一點也不是
那都是一個心念的事
一切的快樂 痛苦
不是在外 而在內在
我們讓它為 何
時間療癒外在的傷
內在的痛楚需要更多的時間整理洗淨
都是一顆心的信念
常常
我們是捆綁住自己的人
那不是其他人所為
我們選擇扮演什麼角色
怎麼去做 怎麼去過
有時候或許付出的心力 在他人眼裡總是不夠
但是沒關係 自己知道付出了什麼
當自己的裁判
當自己的決定者
今天 我感到樂觀
生理期的疼痛乘了過去
我感覺精神輕盈許多
能量漲了上來
困境中 轉念是一個禮物
能量會集中 純化
正向思考 一切也跟著好了起來
而擁有更能發亮的內在
相信裡面暖暖的光
隨著流動的生命發熱
能意識內在的光 就足夠了
儘管有時非常的難受
允許這些感受 來 去
核心在中央
沒什麼可動搖它
核心越柔軟
更能去感受放開的自在
想要給予許多祝福的微笑
特別當擠不出笑容的時候
太累的時候
太受干擾的時候
太受束縛的時候
太忙的時候
允許微笑的念頭來呵護心靈
有著愛與接受 依偎擁抱的微笑
告訴自己 我 值得一個微笑
常常
想對別人說的 也對自己說
我真心想珍惜每一個小事物
不要忘記我們都被生命這禮物 愛著
所有不能負荷的 都是個提醒
生命是一個移動的旅程
在不同的階段尋找生活的意義
我們可以用歡樂和淚水豐富它
在妥善的應對中
在擁抱和放開中
我們存在著 體驗著 生活著
今天我感受到自己的完整 這讓我快樂
而我也想將快樂的分子灑開來
好好照顧自己
不論正在經歷著什麼
希望每一天都帶著平安 祝福 和 愛

是一個下雨天
氣溫回暖了兩天又逐漸下降
寒流第二波 就要來
這次我的心情反差比較小
有了多的耐心接受這一波
知道春天不遠了
現下的灰 不是永遠
我期待著即將放晴的天氣
感到安心而完整
所有都在一念之間
我們想要相信什麼
允許自己相信什麼
選擇什麼
生活不是那麼殘酷的不給選擇
一點也不是
那都是一個心念的事
一切的快樂 痛苦
不是在外 而在內在
我們讓它為 何
時間療癒外在的傷
內在的痛楚需要更多的時間整理洗淨
都是一顆心的信念
常常
我們是捆綁住自己的人
那不是其他人所為
我們選擇扮演什麼角色
怎麼去做 怎麼去過
有時候或許付出的心力 在他人眼裡總是不夠
但是沒關係 自己知道付出了什麼
當自己的裁判
當自己的決定者
今天 我感到樂觀
生理期的疼痛乘了過去
我感覺精神輕盈許多
能量漲了上來
困境中 轉念是一個禮物
能量會集中 純化
正向思考 一切也跟著好了起來
而擁有更能發亮的內在
相信裡面暖暖的光
隨著流動的生命發熱
能意識內在的光 就足夠了
儘管有時非常的難受
允許這些感受 來 去

沒什麼可動搖它

太受束縛的時候
太忙的時候

出走
停頓了好一陣子
沒練習早晨的 Mysore
之前 情緒的起伏 令我精神緊繃 喘不過氣來 練習中無法專注
無法專注下ㄍㄧㄥ住的壓力 讓我開始受傷 呼吸也不順起來
扭了手腕 後來又扭了腳 身體的抗議讓我意識到我需要休息
需要不要求自己 可以緩下來 不用急著推往前去
不用讓自己醒來就帶上硬硬的殼 防衛著
難過的時候 就好好的感受 沒關係
感受它 便不再是過不去的 給出空間時間釋懷
放任一下胃口 覺也多睡些 不勉強自己去特別作什麼
工作照常 但其他時間 就放自己一個長假
允許心情來去自如 日子自然過
寒冷 就裹起冬眠
雨下個不停 與其憂鬱就接受它吧
畢竟 總會有放晴的那麼一天
空白 是一種解藥
讓人意識到生活不過如此
所有的情緒都在轉念之間
想 或 不想 什麼
要 或 不要 什麼
追求 不追求
動 靜 反應 時間一樣的流動
休息是 意念的出走
或走或停夠了 差不多了
就又有心力 去走出新的步伐
希望和夢想
都可以 再 生

i need to go somewhere sunny
雨一直下著 溼答答
我需要有陽光 乾爽的地方
自在 舒服 無拘束 無重量
我想要離開 再次開始 真實意識自己的心
所想要的 想過的生活
可不可以不再妥協
不用hold back
可不可以勇敢去開創
可不可以就奮力一振 飛出去
一股能量在心裡轉了又轉 呆滯著
靜止 反而是種勉強
