#美好時光

幸福，不是找到的，是活出来的。
顺境，我们活回去。
逆境，我们活出来。
幸福，就在那车水马龙的大街上，那堵在路中央的车上。
***
幸福，不再等下一站。
就在当下，活着。

今早看了篇王文华的文章，喜欢他写的几个观点。他分享道这”sisu”的特质, 是芬兰人的一种活着的态度。这态度或许是让芬兰在《全球快乐报告》连续第6年名列第一的原因吧。

让我们大家继续(开始)活得更幸福吧。 🙏

On this last day of 2023, just as we welcome a brand new year. Allow ourselves to pause. To pause, so as to reconnect with our inner self, to share our gratitudes to friends who have embraced our limitations, and to loved ones who have showered us with unconditional love and patience.

Be well. live Well.
Be.Live.

Let your inner self shine, and continue to blossom. 🌸

BEing in a state of stillness is one of the guiding principles of Yin yoga. But practice principles aside, I like how it has evolved into a stance I adopt when things get out of hand. It keeps me sane when the world gets too crazy.

Today, as we turn green again, I took time to scroll thru the posts through covid in the past 3 years, before we decided to close the studio in Dec 2020.

This post put things to a standstill when we have to make the painful announcement to cancel all classes in view of the rising covid numbers.

Time heals, and yes indeed it will. I am glad that we have crossed paths, and am sure you have moved on one way or the another.

I hope the short experience we shared together has been usefulness (in some ways) in your life.

🙏🙏🙏

**COVID-19 updates**

🚫All classes will be suspended with immediate effect till further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. All membership expiry will be extended accordingly. Speak with us if you have any concerns.

📽We will provide details on our online classes soon. The fight against the virus is a long drawn battle, we need to fight it both physically and psychologically.

🧘🏻‍♂️Yin yoga is medicine to our body and mind in such trying times. I encourage you to continue your practice at home, this is the best time to own your practice. 🙏

Woke up with a sore lower back today. Dedicated a short Yin practice to myself this morning, and was rewarded with a liberated spine again.

Mindfulness is being mindful of the present moment.

A morning spent at Dharma Drum Singapore, supporting a group of elderly in a stretch class. It has been more than 2 years since I last taught a yoga class, it brought back fond memories. With gratitude 🙏

因疫情耽搁了两年，
今天终于亲临法鼓山授课。
一群70至80岁的长青班菩萨们，
欢乐的上一堂自在瑜伽。

我们不着重予外在形体，
把标签撕掉，
重新来感受身体，
自在如也。

在欢笑声中，
我听到鼓励，也让我忆起从前分享瑜伽的欢乐。谢谢你们，我的收获远远多于我的分享。

知福、惜福、陪福、种福。

🙏

Happy International Yoga Day 🧘🏻‍♂️

Happy Sunday everyone. 💚

内观需要耐心、锻炼、也需要毅力。�当我们过于执着，紧抓着不放时，我感受到痛苦，烦操和疲累。

Happy New Year!
Wishing all a roaring good year ahead, filled with abundance of happiness and good health.

Had a good laugh when I came across this comic strip. Non-striving is one of the biggest takeaway from my Yin practice, and it’s also one of the hardest to let go. We are conditioned to achieve in this over achieving world, sometime it’s ok to tell ourselves that it’s ok to be just ok.

We continue to practise, putting what we know into actions.

Namaste 🙏

Be the Light.

Be well, Live well.

Maintaining good knee health does not mean you have to part with your regular walks and runs. In fact, appropriate stresses on the knees help build knee cartilage.

Listen to your body, and decide what’s an appropriate intensity for you. 🏃🏻‍♂️

週日天，释怀甚好。

自己与自己和解，其实就是我们通常所说的释怀。释怀的真正意义，就是发现了一个新的自己，或是出现了一个优于自己的自己，让纷乱不堪、找不到方向感的自己，得到了某种程度的统一。

于是，等到了自己对自己的理解和原谅。

周日天，平常甚好。

病在古代叫做“失常”，病因叫“失节”，或者“失势”。那什么叫健康呢？健康就是“常”。太过，不及，都是失常。健康就是“平常”。

中医认为一切病先是神病，然后是气病，再到血病, 最后才到什么呢？形病。

疾病先从生命无形的部分，即从精神、信息的层面开始出问题；第二个阶段，到气的部分，能量格局和运行规律发生紊乱；第三个阶段，到有形的疾病层面。

很多病，都是从一个很大的烦恼或结开始的。但，心念一转，神气也就转了。

一切的源头，在于无形的思想、精神，然后才有了能量，然后才化生为物质。

真正的养生，是去感受自己。

周日天，心安甚好。

“心小了，所有的小事就大了；心大了，所有的大事都小了；看淡世事沧桑，内心安然无恙。”
～丰子恺

这是心力交瘁的一周。

周日天，适应甚好。

“如果你掉进了黑暗里，你能做的，不过是静心等待，直到你的双眼适应黑暗。”
~村上春树 《挪威的森林》

几年前在lululemon@ION 分享了一堂阴瑜伽课。在熄灯让大家休息时，门外一对父女好奇的眺望着。在这漆黑的购物商场里，他们这伙人为什么都躺在地上睡觉呢？

周日天，离局。
