Why am i stressed out
Why am i behaving the way i am
What makes me flare up so easily
Why cant i accept things as they are
Am i a control freak
What have i learnt so far
When can my mind be at ease
When can my mind rest and stop thinking
I had been doing yoga for like 3yrs or so
Hatha Yoga
I see its benefits
Its striving to achieve a balance and have a healthy combination of body/mind/spirit-soul
I feel that the class focuses too much on the body
The meditation is lacking
Have decided to sign up for meditation for some time
To be exact, had wanted to go for some retreats but they are all too expensive and commercial
However, India is out of the question....i need certain luxuries like a decent hotel and nice toilet/bath
My 1st meditation class started on 25 de febrero
In many ways, i had to unlearn what i learnt in yoga
deberes-cada dia meditate cinco minutos
to start with 3 deep breaths, slowly breathing out
proceed to alienate all the other 4 senses and focus on one by one
end with head slightly tilted to gaze at the floor when eyes are open
its never easy to focus the mind
life is full of distractions
just like during meditation
there's a parallel to life with what one experiences during meditation
Meditation helps bring awareness
helps clear the mind
helps get the mind to rest and take a break before continuing at the normal pace of life
helps rid mind of rubbish thoughts and cleanses the mind
stress and peace of mind
they are not opposites
just like light and darkness
