Focus on the task and not the goal

"As the cognitive, intellectual and the ego-based analytical processes of the mind are minimal or even absent, the mind becomes more balanced which enables us to experience higher levels of conscousness or to get into the state of meditation as the power of concentration increases" - Gore, 2008, p.181.

At some point, one has to stop analysing the asanas and just do the practice.

Focus on the task and not the goal.

Gratitude...

Photo from Yoga Thailand website.

Opening the day with gratefulness...

Thankful for the opportunity to be here...

Spending a moment to contemplate on healing and forgiveness...

Asking for guidance...

Clarity of mind...

And peace within.

Om.

Via Mare Summer Shooters

Photo by Leira. 

Had these and puto bumbong at Trinoma Cafe Via Mare.  Didn't know there's one in Trinoma until Dave invited me today.  It was good to catch up with him and his wife Ginger.  Dave was my graduate thesis adviser and a mentor.  It's good to have him back at CHK. 

Had the summer shooters twice already in the past 2 weeks.  Before we went to HK, I met up with Becky and had shooters at Via Mare Shangri La, and then today.  I should have more before I leave on Tuesday.  It might not be available when I get back in June.  I miss ice kachang though but will have some towards the end of May.  

Now, all yoga becomes hot yoga in this part of the world unless you practice in an air-conditioned room. Maybe someone should invent Cold Yoga... although Iced Yoga would be a catchier name.
