ABC it’s easy as DO-RE-MI, 123

Karaoke anyone? How about some dance steps to go along?

  • A small universe … fixing our gaze onto what we turn our attention to – so goes our energy…

“A B C, It’s easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do re mi, A B C, 1 2 3″

Jackson 5 – of course ! jingle keeps going in my head !!

“Baby You & Me !”

“Let me tell you what it’s all about
Reading, writing, arithmatic
Are the branches of the learning tree
But without the roots of love everyday girl
Your education ain’t complete” – ABC by Jackson 5

Seriously – “without the roots of love” in learning, nothing is complete for sure …

Often a reference is made as to the “ABC” of Yoga Therapy … in other words, the foundation of yoga therapeutics. I’m happy to go over them in very very cursory manner as take each of them, we can spend a lifetime on mastering:

A for Asana or Action/Movement

B for Breath

And

C for … what ?

What do you think? Any guesses?

Will go over them should there be any interest…

Past New Year Osechi

We did not feel up to celebrating with “Osechi” New Years feast, which is the traditional Japanese auspicious foods served on the first day of New Year. Felt out of respect for our lonely mother spending the day without any family, we will just have a “nice” dinner and departed from the tradition of the past. Just letting go the idea of what something should look like – just letting go the fixed ideas, flushing that out to bring in the new.

Still …

Reminiscing the good old days with deep longing – and that good old days, we all know, was not that long ago… We are praying for a reenactment- a gathering to remember- we all have that story to share. We all have that longing.

May 2021 be a brighter year filled with light and clarity where goodness and justice prevails and our health and intelligence is restored.

In Training with Mask On

So that I can withstand brutal travels … and overcome fear. In training … Going uphill with a mask on is quite a respiratory strain and … yes, we are pumping it !

How safe is it to travel during the holiday season during a … Pandemic? How do you assess the risks ? By getting a flu shot, we are training our immune system for the flu virus … how do we train to boost our immune system for other kind of viruses though? It’s not the buffed and muscle bound, glowing with health golden people that withstands what’s out there today. It’s the wise who studies science and remains well informed. Then, maybe, maybe, risks may be plenty mitigated during our travels.

Be safe out there ! If you must travel, know that getting the Covid Negative test is not enough. If you can, stay home.
