Yoga is infinity, infinity of perception…

Yoga is infinity, infinity of perception. Sharing, union in sharing, the location where all this sharing take place is consciousness, where all awareness gathers.

This is all we are looking in this life to express what we are experiencing. To find the people that can empathizes what we are feeling. This is how groups take place.

And I experience yoga, a limited side of it, and the beauty of life. Sometimes is at such a higher level that you feel you just explode in love, and whenever you fell that, you look around to see if someone feels the intensity of feelings you are having.

“I don t believe people are looking for the meaning of life, as their are looking for the experience that makes them feel alive “

That is why I am trying to share this. I want everybody to express themselves, their uniquenes
s. And be appreciated for it. We are at the bottom level of our creation, love. Love for food, music, interaction, nature, people, everything.

 They say yoga cannot be thought or explained, is 1% theory the rest is experience. Is like trying to put words to something that is infinite, poets, artists are trying, but whatever they are experiencing and trying to share is just a small percentage of what really is.

Life is amazing and beautiful, and melancholic for its temporary duration.

It is said that people can read mind, heal, levitate, fly and have all kinds of supernatural power. But this is not a goal, and I think it is painful to experience something as beautiful as this alone.

Life and experiences should be limited in order for every human being to be able to get there.

So we can equally enjoy life, we can increase the level of enjoyment. But a good example is what is happening on facebook, everyone is trying to share their feelings, their states… This is what life is all about, sharing. With the love one, with your partner, with your family friends.

We needed all this war, the crimes that where made, everything we experienced until now. Because now we have the intelligence, the capability to live with nature, in a balance way, we have the maturity to love, appreciate each one for their differences, we needed all 1000 religions, to create an image of a god that is almighty, beautiful, and that we can experience in our human form, even in a small percentage, but that can bring us so much joy.

Heaven is here, on earth, we just have to open our eyes. God is the space between us, he is the axis X,y,z,t ..etc we are all connected. Scientist finally come to the conclusion that space which is 96% of universe is black matter and dark energy, it is like an invisible neuron system, that runs trough all the universe. All connected, and this energy is intelligent.Our brain is the miniature of the universe. Like a spider web when you do something in one place, that can affect the end of the web. Everything you do affects everything else that came into being. A simple thing as a breathing, on one side of the word, can influence-affect-create a revolution on the other side of the world. 

So instead of seeing space as something that divides us, we should see it as the only thing that brings us together.

There is a beautiful mantra that I use to sing as a startup of my yoga practice.

Shanti mantra

“Om Sahana vavatu sahnau bhunaktu sahavareeyam karvavahet

Tejasveena vaditamastu maa vid vishaa vahai

Om shaanthih, shaanthih, shaanthihi”

Meaning: May he protect all, may we all perform together the most heroic and divine actions, may our learning be prosperous to all, may we never quarrel on the different beliefs we may have, may we illuminate togheter, may we live in harmony, may there be peace for all and forever.

 Let us all get the knowledge we need to change our perception about our existence, may we all illuminate and find peace and love, and happiness. There is place on this earth for everyone to be happy let us not be divided by our ego but rather be connected but our love.

Namaste and love to all. Wish you a beautiful experience here on earth.

Yoga – awareness – Ego – sleep disorder

“The minds need to rest, while the body needs to work” Roshan

This iswhat my teacher used to say. We seem to do everything wrong, thinking is just another sense, but yet it comes on the 1’st place of the senses we pay attention to, the second is the eyes, the world we know is based on what we see with our eyes, but all perception comes from mind. And still we pay no attention or less attention to the other senses, or we are just not aware of them.

This is just another way of being ignorant, and is the mind who is ignorant. How can you think you have an accurate image of the world you are living in, when you use 2 senses perceive it. And even if you use all of them at 101% there is still so much we don t know/see.

A person in construction or on the fields, he is working hard 12 h a day, doing so much effort. He gets at home go to bed dead from all the work, and has a deep sleep. Wakes up back at 6 in the morning and starts the day all over again, and has no problem with it. His mind is at peace, he is doing meditation while working. He forgets about himself and he identifies himself with  his work.

“The creator is often seen in his creation.”

Someone working in the office, is stressed all day. Even if he manage to get somehow from a stressful situation, someone comes and ruins his mood again. He then takes a break, going for a cigarette, to calm itself down. What he is really doing he is hyperventilating even more, see your heart beat before and after a cigarette, the thing that s calming your mind, is the smoke, the CO2 and all the toxins in the cigarette.

All the body is experiencing is more pain, after sitting all day at a desk with the head in a wrong position, with a crunched back, and with a mind that is not helping. You are losing the appetite of life. And build frustration, but it is ok. All the money that you are making will ease that frustration by buying expensive clothes, cars, food menus, champagne, a big home that you don t have time to enjoy. In a future that is probably coming or not.

The future is promised to no one. We take every day as granted, and not only time, but everything.

Kris Rock had a funny way of saying this “We are so full of ourselves, we are so rich, that we don t even drink tap water anymore, we buy bottles now! The tap water that we use is so cheap in our eyes, that we use it only to wash our ass. While in other places of the world people are walking 20 km each day back and forth just to have access to potable water, or some of them are just dyeing out of thirst”. But we have “problems”, we are stressed. My colleague has a nicer dress than me, his car is bigger, he has a more money than me.

Yes this are biggg problems. Your life is sooo hard, and frustrating dealing with all this harsh things that life brings. pffuuu

Our ego is growing more and more, with the more things we accumulate.

We have forgotten to be thankful. We have forgotten who we are.

So there is a “counter posture” to this, it can be physical activity, running, Pilates, all types of sports, but I find that the most complete is yoga. Yoga dosen t stop on the mat, but brings more awareness to your life.

Everything is a muscle memory, “if you are not going to use it, you are going to lose it”

Many people cannot sleep. We are so tired, but still our mind cannot disconnect, it would be so easy sometimes just to have a plug, and turn it off in matter of seconds.

People are making sometimes fun of me, “I don t understand how you do it, you close your eyes and in 2 min you are asleep, in every position.”

I just take a deep inhale in, and relax everything. Of course there are times, when my mind is like a monkey J but trough respiration it calms and I get slowly into an unconscious state.

The solution to so many problems is just a fresh breath of air, bringing awareness to the most basic things we do, being in the present.

“Peace is the process of retraining your mind to deal with reality as it is, rather as you think it should be.” W.Dyer

Conditioned mind – Smoking, Drinking, Imbalanced habits, Consumerism

I find it is funny when people are trying new healthy habits in their life. And since I am in loved of yoga I will speak mostly of this.

We try once-twice and just because It can be challenging sometimes, it is easier to go back to what you used to know. To our old habits.
It is not easy to create a new routine. It takes effort and discipline. At least in the beginning, but we are improving our own being…

“You have to get discomfortable in order to be comfortable in discomfortable situations”

Didn’t we used to do the same even with the old habits?

First cigarettes was awful you couldn’t breathe, your neck got all irritated, you experienced pain and dizziness, taste was awful, head pain…

But we repeated and repeated that habit until it turned out to be a pleasure…and now we bring so much awareness in our cigarette breaks and we enjoy every single smoke, really take our time with it…..and the thing is we do it so well that even if the body is an amazing machine that regenerates and cure itself….we create cancer, bad circulation, destroy the lungs…that much love and passion and dedication to this vice.

And the same with alcohol, how many morning we swear not to repeat it again, all that pain and frustration the next day…so many regrets…but the body is amazing, give him some water…disconnect your mind from your body… fresh air and rest… and booom 2 days later you re fresh again.

But when it comes to yoga and other healthy habits….after the first try we just know…”This is not for me..”

And it is not…
Because from an early age we learn that we are not sufficient, we are not enough, we are everything that is not good to this world, whatever we feel is wrong, but what we are thought is good…We get masochists, it becomes natural and normal to be harsh and to damage ourselves….
It is more natural for a bad thing to happened than a good thing…it is a surprise when we experience something good….

we learn to separate our own true self from our personality and create whatever society wants us to be an ideal an image of the perfect consumer….breed-learned-worked to death….for the ideals that are chosen for us…materialism…”the only thing that can bring you happiness”

Ignoring your feelings and being a robot is the strong personality. We trade our humanity for the pleasure and appreciation of others.

But it is your fault, you are responsible for your ignorance, you have to be the change, and you know better… your choices are making a difference each day…

And we die without letting us know how amazing and beautiful and unique you truly are…

And I can promise you this, you are amazing …and I feel sorry that nobody had the chance to see how God could create something as unique and beautiful like you :*

Focus – Yoga

If i had to put a word to yoga is enjoyment.

Slow down the pace,bring more awareness to what you re experiencing: movements,thoughts,emotions,feelings

It means not to focus your attention on the outcome of actions, on a particular goal, but instead enjoying the process.

The goal has become more important than the task itself and this is the main concern of all the frustration we are experiencing.

Work hours and food it seems to steal from us most of the time of the day.

But how can you enjoy a life if you are not paying attention to it? It s like we’re always trying to find happiness in the goal.

But what we seem to forget or not pay attention to is, that reaching a goal may take days, weeks, years of frustration and work that we are not enjoying, and sadly the moment of satisfaction drawn out of it, lasts from fractions of seconds to minutes, hours
.
So life as we know it it s reduced to this moments, this short periods of satisfaction.

It is so easy to get lost, in your mind, in your ego and mind is getting better and better to distract your attention, keeping you occupied so ultimately you become the slave of your impulses, senses.

In our path to learn more, we where given some assignments. They made me feel frustrated at first, the i stated to dislike them, but that was before i got started, and i found something i forgot: FOCUS.

My mind has stooped from multitasking to mono-tasking. And after i found joy in it, and in its learning. And i understood my frustration i was looking at the goal, hating and forgetting about the process.

And i was thinking about asanas, how sometimes you cannot wait to get out of a posture, but not enjoying the technique that put you there and what you are experiencing in it.

When you start being a student, everyone becomes your teacher. And i found my teacher one day, eating in solitude. I had to ask, what is he doing?!

“I m having a romantic diner with my diner. 🙂 Paying attention how many times i chew, what taste i encounter, paying attention to my food. Food it s like a guest that you invited in your home (body) but then you start watching tv ignoring the guest. How can you benefit from such a visit, how many things you are ignoring?!”

Let s enjoy more what we are doing, working and not the goal or outcome of it, this may be one of the key to happiness.

first get the pose to go into the mind then the mind to go into the body..

elimination of impurities bring down the body activity to a minimum level which facilitates the body work to go smoothly. Save the energy that body uses for elimination. (kriya)

if you think that yoy are or not in control of your body recall this: as soon as you get the 51% you are the managing director.
