A memo for you
I am speechless. No words to utter yet, a million words linger. Floating above my eyes, inside my brain. I can’t let them out. You know when things came as a surprise. It doesn’t matter whether they are good or bad, your first reaction is just an extreme shock. Like some strangers just put aContinue reading “A memo for you”

Time has stopped
I have just lived over a quarter of century and crawled approaching my 30s. Time flies, huh? Yet today feels really weird though. In fact, not just today but yesterday’s night seemed endless. It felt like the time wasn’t moving at all, like a thousand year old corpse, or the clock hanging on the wallContinue reading “Time has stopped”

You’ve probably heard that some researchContinue reading “Appreciating the outer self”
Setting myself free
Sometimes we forget that we always have control over our own sanity. Today was unpleasant for me and my feelings. At very least a tiny bit in which in no time I should be able to move forward (I hope so!). Each day, I am evolving, changing, be it better or worse, it doesn’t matterContinue reading “Setting myself free”
What’s going on with me? #ashtanga #nadishodana #mentalhealth

I was on hiatus for a good two months. And writing this againContinue reading “What’s going on with me? #ashtanga #nadishodana #mentalhealth”
Practicing yoga through depression
As I’m writing this, there are a lot of things in my mind. And I haven’t done my yoga practice today. It’s very easy for my energy to be drained although I’m mostly teaching off the mat. Have I gone mad? What is happening? Am I experiencing a depression relapse? How bad is it? Honestly, I am very tiredContinue reading “Practicing yoga through depression”
Stop lying to yourself #enlightenment #yoga
What is the price of truth?Recently I finished reading a book that my friend recommended to me, Spiritual Enlightenment: The Damnedest Thing by Jed McKenna. The author is not my favourite but there are many things in the book that ring true. For example, some of us want to be “enlightened” hoping that this ultimateContinue reading “Stop lying to yourself #enlightenment #yoga”
