first Padmasana !!!

I know this sounds a bit funny to those that naturally can do it and to those that already can do it. But, I am really very very very happy yesterday evening(11Nov2009) when I finally did it. This is not the perfect one but this is FIRST padmasana in my life ^_^
let us keep practising! staying alive! Namaste!

strange feeling....

Through my personal regular yoga practice lately, I feel that there is something in me has been closing for years until now. I am a very positive person and I would say that I may look happy from outside but I can feel that there is something in me that I did not letting it go all these years. There is something that I do not know how to phrase it and I still could not figure out until now. What I knew is that I should be a happier person compare to what I am now and that could be the “me” from many years ago. It could be when I was a baby, it could be when I was a kid...

Sutra : Samadhipadah

1.12 abhyasavairagyabhyam tannirodhah

The mind can reach the state of yoga through practice and detachment.
or
Practice consistently but learn to detach in order to stop the vacillation

Artwork Illustration :

The little angel moves the second indicator that link to the minute & hour indicator (practice consistently) in order to maintain correct timing (stillness). However, the actual timing (svarupe / trueself) will run (vacillate) if the indicators cling onto each other (attachment) during the cycles.


Also, here is some personal view for sharing….

Attachment & Egoism

“love” that exists for “light”
- might lead to attachment

“light” that grows by abundance of “love that exists for light”
- might transform into egoism


Bliss & Shanti

“light” that exists for “non-attachment love”
- bliss

“love” that grows by abundance of “light that exists for non-attachment love”
- might transform into another “light that exists for non-attachment love”
- shanti
