They say:

The mind, is us not;

The body, is us not;

Those thoughts, are us not;

Those emotions, are us not;

These senses, are us not;

These feelings, are us not;

Then, i ask:

Who are we?

What are we?

One last trip to Grow & Glow!

2011 has been very colorful to me, one of the years with lots of travelings. I kicked start the year with an inspirational trip to Nepal; and a string of yoga- related travels, eye-opening yoga conference in Hong Kong and our first attempt ( with Satya Yoga) for a yoga retreat to Angkor Wat; and some unexpected personal trips followed on.

This year is indeed a year of lessons, be it in work or personal; some lessons appeared to be so urgent that it kept chasing after me till i actually take some time to absorb them. Some lessons are stalling time, needing my patience to step till the right time strikes.
As each month was passing by, its almost like am sitting on a roller- coaster ride. So many events were happening, too fast; i feel my physical, mental, and emotional zooming up & down; it can be quite energy draining. Also to understand that none of these belongs to me, those were surge of experiences.

I've been reading a lot of articles, chapters, podcast by great teachers to at least be spiritually sane; as much as not to got lost in the world of maya within myself. I'm glad to be able to squeeze out my morning time towards the last quarter of the year, to visit my teacher in his classes.

It's time to take some time off for a little space for a breather. I'm off for a closure trip for the year; to a space to grow and glow:)

Thanks Shirly for taking over my workload:) I'll be back to take over with 100 Plus charged!

Gazing beyond boundaries. Moving beyond fears.

I like gazing at the big night sky, dotted with twinkling spots in random. Whenever i get a chance to just get my head lifted up, i felt the whole world had sort of transform into something else--- like i am in another space.

Suddenly, a surge of fear injected into me; that i shrink into mini-size in just a snap.

No doubt the sky is beautiful; the magnificence can be quite intimidating. A line of question always come hitting in my head, " Who am i now?". The fear, makes my want to cry. A fear of insecurity, because i can see not boundary in that dark, dark sky; as if i will be swallow by some kind of energy anytime. 

We all like to do things and live with limit, limiting and setting a certain boundaries and rules for ourselves. Because, by setting these limits, we feel secure and safe.

We see the end before we even start, we know how much we're going to fall even before the falling happens. Though playing games within the limits provides us a sense of securities, it can be very suffocating too.

Though looking at the dusky night sky does make me feel uncomfortable; but i still like to stare at it blankly. While i allow the darkness to engulf my world, understand that no matter how frightening; i am still part of the universe. 

That neither our mind nor our thought is us;
neither our body nor our emotion belong to us too.
There are like stars, that burns inside us by moments; sometimes so brightly that we lost our self even. 

That though seeing no boundaries and setting no limit may send us a huge surge of fear, we learn how to let our hands off and allow the nature to take it course--- accepting whatever comes to us. 

Because we want to see beyond the limits, we live in moments of taking our breaths away.

i still shudder a little when gazing up; but i still do it. This quiver actually inspires me--- that there are things more important than fear.
