The holy place everyone already has.

When i was a child, my mom told me that prayers should be done only in temples, looking at the statues, and speak to them loud and clear.
When i grow up a little, people told me that prayers can be heard only in places of worships, through verbally.
There were so many questions popping out, but nobody can answer me.

It took me quite a while to figure these out through my teachers and self- experience. That the holy place is nowhere other than our own body (health).

We need not pick auspicious dates, because any day is auspicious.
We need not need to travel on roads, when we just need to travel inwards.
We need not need to speak a word out of our mouth, because the word of prayer is an unspoken language, its a private conversation.
We need not make any appointment, because we can be in touch within anytime, anywhere.
We need not draw motivation from others, because we have a reservoir of strength inside us to tap on.

Many misunderstood that holy places are bricks and cemented buildings only; and miracles happens only in there. External buildings are an extended and representation of what we already have. Like how we want to keep the places of worship clean and serene; we should too keep our own little temple ( body) clean, healthy and serene for us to live in:)

"The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in."
~ B.K.S Iyengar

Back on track

After so long, i started running again. The very last time I'm on my running shoes was probably five years ago!
As last, i got roped in by friends for a mini run happening in a months time. I thought i should give myself a second chance:)  So,  i need to practice... running. Dud?! Do we even need to practice running?

Of course! I've seen many runners got into bad knees and bad injuries, that's the last thing i want to land myself into. I attempted my practice today.
Very rusty, running is still not my cup of tea.
Initially, i set to run for an hour, but i guess there was a huge load of walking and resting. I boomed music into my ears, which help quite a fair bit, and beautiful evening coast along the way!

This is only the beginning...

Clutter to de- clutter

Cluttered. This is how I can say about myself these days. In some days, I thought I'm going to just stop breathing, and drop- dead. It's actually not the physical part of having to move around the street for class appointment. Its something else that's started a self- enquiry:
- Is that all you want to do?

No. I want to do more, than I ever imagine. Yes, i am greedy. Am greedy for more insights to grow... Not just waiting for ageing to happen.
Clearing away those weeds to bloom:)

I've been meeting people traveling back home. Like " it's time to go home".
But I'm feeling the opposite, I am too comfortable at home, and thought I should be away for a while.

Starting to get some discomforts being too comfortable. Maybe I am making excuses so that I can feed my desires of more traveling, I shall do that;)
