Fasting can be a powerful tool for overall well-being, promoting detoxification and mental clarity. In Ayurveda, fasting is tailored to each dosha for maximum benefits.

Vata Dosha: A light fast with warm, nourishing foods is ideal. Choose soups and teas to keep the digestive system calm.
Pitta Dosha: Opt for a moderate fast with cooling foods. Include fruits and vegetables to balance heat and inflammation.
Kapha Dosha: A more intensive fast can help manage excess weight and sluggish digestion. Incorporate spicy and light foods to stimulate metabolism.
Embracing the right fasting method for your dosha can enhance your physical and mental health.
禁食是一種非常有效的健康方法,可以促進排毒和提升心智清晰。在阿育吠陀中,禁食會根據每個體質(Dosha)的特性來調整,以獲得最佳效果。

Vata Dosha(風型體質): 適合輕度禁食,搭配溫暖的滋補食物,如湯和茶,能夠幫助平穩消化系統。

Pitta Dosha(火型體質): 選擇中等強度的禁食,搭配清涼的食物,如水果和蔬菜,幫助平衡體內的熱量和炎症。

Kapha Dosha(痰濕型體質): 可以嘗試較強的禁食,幫助控制體重和促進消化,加入一些辛辣和輕盈的食物,來刺激新陳代謝。

根據你的體質選擇適合的禁食方法,能夠有效提升身體和心理的健康。

Did you hear the birds?

🌿 In the wisdom of Ayurveda, balancing the fiery Pitta dosha is crucial for inner peace. One of the most profound ways to achieve this is by immersing yourself in the embrace of nature. Nature, with its cool, serene essence, gently tempers Pitta’s intense heat. Imagine wandering through a lush forest, feeling the whisper of a gentle breeze, or finding solace beside a tranquil lake. Each moment in nature offers a soothing balm for your soul, calming the inner fire and renewing your spirit. Embrace these serene experiences—they’re not just a retreat but a vital journey toward equilibrium and harmony. 🌳✨

🌿 根據阿育吠陀(Ayurveda)的智慧,平衡皮塔(Pitta)體質對內在的平靜至關重要。其中一種深刻的方式是沉浸於大自然的擁抱中。自然界的涼爽與寧靜,能溫柔地平息pitta dosha的強烈火熱。試想在郁郁蔥蔥的森林中漫步,感受輕柔微風的低語,或在寧靜的湖邊尋得慰藉。每一刻與自然的親密接觸,都是對靈魂的安撫,能平息內心的烈焰,重振精神。擁抱這些寧靜的經歷,它們不僅是逃避現實的方式,更是通向平衡與和諧的重要旅程。🌳✨

🌿 Ever wondered why mindful walking is so powerful? It’s more than just exercise—it’s a holistic practice that nourishes your body and mind. In Ayurveda, mindful walking helps balance your doshas, or energy types. For those with a Pitta dosha, which can lead to stress and overheating, mindful walking can be especially soothing, bringing calm and cooling relief. So next time you step outside, remember: each mindful step is a step towards harmony and wellness. 🌟🚶‍♂️💚

🌿 你是否曾好奇為什麼正念行走如此強大?這不僅僅是運動,更是一種滋養身心的整體實踐。在阿育吠陀中,正念行走有助於平衡你的體質(doshas)。對於容易感到壓力和過熱的Pitta dosha體質(Pitta),正念行走尤其能帶來舒緩和清涼的效果。所以,下次你踏出戶外時,記住:每一步正念行走都是邁向和諧與健康的步伐。🌟🚶‍♂️💚

Who am I ?
It’s the most important question that must be contemplated before death
Don’t find excuses from external world affairs
Face it
And liberation will come

我是誰 ?
這是臨終前必須思考的最重要的問題
不要為外在世界的事情找藉口
面對它
解放將會到來

Everything happens just right
每件事都是剛剛好
You are life, you don’t manage life
你就是人生
Surrender everything to your bigger self, to the unknown is the key to real trust
完全信任人生會自己活出真實
All you need to do is to stop fighting
你只需要不再對抗人生的情況

I am, that I am
我在

I have been quite swamped with my new role as a corporate leadership facilitator/ trainer and program designer. Phew, a lot of brain juice is going there plus a concurrent project assignment is jamming my time. I have not been posted a lot regularly about wellness and spirituality.

But I also know there is no difference teaching an executive vs someone in yoga studio or Ayurveda clinic. Why? Because they both want the same thing: happier, healthier and more fulfilled with life. Our body and mind limited us in many ways, esp our unconscious judgments - to ourselves and others. While designing the new leadership training program, I am also closer to biology and physiology. Our cognitive ability starts with “excluding” what is not to form our perceptions by nature. So it’s so easy for us to dissect things, people and events so we know what is “good” and “bad”.

But all this is our thoughts and ideas.

They are meant to be trained and re-engineered if you want to be happier/ content with life.

Go away from “excluding” and move to “including”

People always ask me how many students do you teach? My response is always the same, teaching 1 student is no different to teach 100 students. I just show up. I offer them my undivided attentions.

Don’t count your scores. Focus what’s in front of you. That’s the tip to stay content with what you have.

Wish you a wonderful week to come…
Shanti shanti shanti

身為企業領導力促進者/培訓師和專案設計師,我對自己的新角色感到非常困惑。唷,大量的腦汁都花在了那裡,而且並發的專案任務也佔據了我的時間。我沒有經常發布有關健康和靈性的帖子。

但我也知道,在瑜珈工作室或阿育吠陀診所教導高階主管與教僻靜營學生沒有什麼不同。為什麼?因為他們都想要一樣的東西:更快樂、更健康、對生活更滿意。

我們的身體和思想在許多方面限制了我們,尤其是我們對自己和他人的無意識判斷。在設計新的領導力培訓計畫的同時,我也更接近生物學和生理學。我們的認知能力始於「排除」那些不自然形成我們感知的事物。所以我們很容易剖析事物、人和事件,這樣我們就知道什麼是「好」和「壞」。

但這一切都是我們的想法。

如果您想對生活感到更快樂/滿意,就應該對它們轉變。

從“排除”轉向“包括”

人們總是問我你教了多少學生?我的回答總是一樣的,教 1 個學生和教 100 個學生沒有什麼不同。我只是出現。我全心全意地關注他們。

不要計算你的分數。專注於你面前的事物。這是對你所擁有的保持滿足的秘訣。

祝您有美好的一週…

Nature is our healing friend
It shows us the beauty of coming and going
And reminds us of everything is temporary
Happiness is and
Sorrow is too
大自然是我們的療癒朋友
它向我們展示了來來去去的美麗
並提醒我們一切都是暫時的
幸福和
悲傷
都是

When i noticed myself wanting to be better than others, I automatically put people beneath me. This is the nature of ego, the source of duality.
Sometimes it’s very hard not to compare, compete - but observe your thoughts, emotions and motivations, what are they for?

Observe…
Keep observing…

Find out who you are

It’s been over 6 years I haven’t been to Europe. This time I took my family to my favourite place, Lake Como, in Italy. Nothing much changed after 12 years but things I used to attach to no longer have that much effect on me anymore.

This world is a beautiful place created by us.

Cherish every present moment with the people you love. ❤️

I feel so grateful that our Sept retreat has filled up in Chiang Mai. Look forward to co-creating for the best 🙂

With love and gratitude

May all of us have no hatred, angers and resentments in our hearts.
💕

It’s OK to be different. Yes that was me lying down in my sunglasses 😎

The world is our projection
Without yourself, the world doesn’t exist for you.
When you sleep, your sorrows and worries vanish
So where do those feelings and thoughts come from?

Self!

Keep asking the question “is this thought true? For whom do these emotions arise for?”

Speculate

The answers will find you
Joys and peace set in

Ebbs and flows

與眾不同是可以的。 是的,那是我戴著墨鏡躺著😎

世界是我們的投影
沒有你自己,世界就不會為你而存在。
當你睡著的時候,你的悲傷和煩惱都會消失
那麼這些感覺和想法又是從何而來?

自己!

繼續問這個問題「這個想法是真的嗎? 這些情緒是為誰而生的?

推測

答案會找到你
歡樂與平安降臨

潮起潮落

See things from a different perspective

Situation comes and goes
How can I stay centered in the midst of challenges
And if I am the one creating all these situations
Use them as my pencil sharpers
To stayed focused and grounded
Not to be fooled by my own delusions and desires

When there is no I, you, there is no duality

Surrender everything to the define consciousness
I give up the fights and struggles now
Let them be as they are

Keep moving
