battle of the dogs

upward dogs and downward dogs are two very distinct poses in yoga. be it during sun salutations or you can use it as a relaxation pose.

life is exactly just like that, upwards and downwards...however, if one is to always focus on downwards, they are subconciously inviting the the downside to life. for me, i prefer to look at the upward of things. be it positive or negative, always good to turn things positive.

indeed, downward dogs can be relaxing but upward dogs helps to build upper body strength too...so, should i relax or should i build strength?

namaste

i'm such a fool

i can be such a fool sometimes
falling into pits of slimes
what should i do?
i'm such a fool

i wish i did too...

the following is written by someone whom i care for very much. and i'll leave the rest to your beautiful imagination.

I wish I did -

Your hands
they soothed over my belly,
traversing both down to my waist,
curving my hips,
slowly, lathering my skin,
twas strong yet gentle.

Your finger
A map has been secretly drawn,
All over my quivering naked body.
You have given me your secret.
It is the journey,to the path of your heart.
Where within lies the jewel,
the treasure which I must find.

Your strong arms
came without a sound,
lifted me up gently.
(I never thought you could!)
I was scared at first,
but I clutched onto your body tightly,
I closed my eyes and
I trusted you.
You didn’t say anything.
I hung on to you steadfastly,
like how a baby would do.

A rush of blush!
And a few utter of mindless words
into the careless air...
While we joined hands in unison.
Our hands.

I was to endure a path
Of abominating exposure.
But it’s okay,
We’re all alone.
I’m not shy this time.

How do you describe this feeling?
How can you exactly do that?
Speechless and unable to move,
Time stood still in the room.
All we were left was each other

.................................

The outside world is unaware of us.
So hush, my dear... be quiet for us.

It’s 6am, and I’m awake.
And you're still sleeping.
Outside the world is still grayish,
But lying in bed with you now,
Locked in your arms feels so safe.

I’m peeping at you with semi-closed eyes,
while you were sleeping.
I’m like playing a hide and seek game.
Without you knowing I’m watching.
I’m wondering what you are dreaming about.
You look so peaceful and calm.
I just didn’t want to disturb you
With my sudden movements
Even when I was shivering without a blanket,
I just held onto you more tightly,
Hoping your body can make mine warmer.

You like to hug me when you sleep,
even in your dreams.
you still keep your arms around me as always
It’s as though you’re afraid
I wouldn’t be there anymore when you wake up.

(Hidden Piece)
Our face is so close,
And I can quickly steal a kiss from you
without your knowing
Should I do it?
well...
muaks!
There, I did it. I stole a kiss.
I’m a good thief, aren’t I?
I’m wondering,,Did I pilfered your heart too?
I wish I did,
I wish I did

..........................................

As traces of your scent still wafts,
Where your hands passed.
On my crisp blue shirt to work that morning,
(My darling, do you remember? you were really there
with me the whole day)
In my hair,
On my fingers,
On parts of my skin,
It all smells of you.

Baby,
This time I can’t wait for tonight.
I want you to hold me in your arms,
I want to know if holding you back,
Lying in your warm embrace again,
Feels as real, as it does in my constant dream.

And,
It really is you.

and again... and again...
and again...
and again..

This piece etched like a tatoo in my heart.

my wants

this week has been hectic. no time for my practise and very minimal time to juggle my personal time as well. is it all worth it? honestly, i'm not too sure about it. but if i don't strive for it now...i won't want to strive for it in 10 years times. it's now or never.

i want my practise to continue, i want my teachings to go on, i want to earn big, i want a life...i have one!

i'm grateful for my job, i'm grateful for the opportunity given in my practise, i thank god for the good health he's graciously given to me and i thank him for my wonderful family and friends. hugs all!

namaste.

yama niyama...not tiu nia ma lar!

i just got dropped from one outlet because some indian teacher whom they employed insisted on my slot. so, go ahead take my slot. no worries.

shouldn't yoga be part of the yama niyama chain? why are they fighting against each other? weird.

remaining 5 classes per week now. not too bad. let's see how it goes.

namaste.

...???

what should you do with someone who has expressed interest in you but then under his profile indicates his status as "prefer not to say"...hmmmm! i wonder what message "he" is trying to convey.

confused teacher

it's been almost two months since i started teaching. i totally enjoyed it. i have practitioners who enjoy my class and also some who find my teaching a bit on the easy side.

since embarking on the side journey of being a yoga teacher, i realised that we don't usually practise what we preach. we're taught the eight patanjali limbs...or ashtanga (8 limbs) of yoga. two of the most basic limbs are yama and niyama, which transcends as non-violence and no-harm. we're supposed to be accepting everyone for who they are...but why are we segregating into groups of who we like to be around and those whom we don't? this is so conflicting.
