Appreance

The way I am washing the clothes seems to work fine for the underwear and thshits but for jeans and towels seems dirty. Some of the clothes I am wearing are worn out.

What I want is clean presentable clothes. If I am participating in social arrangments, I can upgrade based on it.

I can buy a jeans, jacket and a towel [optional]. Make sure your clothes are very well clean and not torn out or something like that.

  • It has to be gradual, and long term. Start with less and build upon it. One step at a time.

Theory:

The element of learning YOGA.

Aim - I want to be able to do yoga by myself, independently and creatively.

Master each pose - learn the pose indvisually, their benifit, master them one by one. First you are doing it in a way properly and then you are adding awareness, anatomy and depth. And feeling your way to asana.

Sequence - learn the fundamental sequencing and how sequencing work, and then Create your own sequence.

Master Hatha - First completely focus on hatha, next year maybe astanga. But for this year just focus on hatha.

Read the text - Hatha pradipika and Patanjali yoga sutra.

Attend the teacher training - maybe later this year, I will do a1000yoga teacher training.

The old dependent relationship.

Akhil, Pratap, Ashish, Anurag, Prafull, Dhapola, Sohail. I once travelled with these people, but there seems to be a futile attempt of communication with them lately.

I talked to akhil and it is all about intellectual masterbation, some old time memory. Ashish is in its zone all together. Pratap I really have to try hard to just be on the phone. So is with sohail. Avinash. There is connection with raveendra sometime.

I met Hrishi, Avinash. Then J and Lin…

The same pattern sharing, acceptance, conflict. And then it moves away.

Before I used to use this to fill my mind based on the suggestion of the voice, the voice is fading and it is becoming useless and meaningless. A far more filling task can be service.

So what exactly I suppose to do with these relationships with?

It is bi-directional, Anurag, pratap, hrishi… these people haven’t called me in years. So there is actually...

The balance with LIN.

I like being with her, she like being with me. And it is becoming too much. It is tilting towards too much.

You wake up 6:15. Do meditation. Have breakfast and go to office. Leave around 5 do your mediation. Have dinner. Come to her place.

Around 7:30. Take a bath. Spend time with her. Learn yoga. Read something. Or talk to her. Be with her.

Sleep around 10.

Weekend. Wake up late, fool around. Do one thing, watch a movie, to go a show, shopping, dinner. Bring her flower.

Do your yoga class in the evening.

After couple of weeks move in.

The Lies.

Leatley I found it easy to just lie, I was with lin and then mom called me and asked what I was doing and I told her meditaion while I was really with lin. I didn’t really lie anything to lin, but wan’t telling the truth either.

It seems convienent. Not just convenient but telling absolute truth will put you in the unnecessary trouble. The same concept goes with dealing with controlling people, speaking truth is only inviting barrage of unnecessary question and justification without any fruitful result.

There is another thing I can do is misdirect the question, but at the heart it is the same.

Another thing could be to deny the answer at ground of you won’t understand that will surely be taken personally and somewhat not very socially acceptable.

Another thing is you can stop the relationship all together which is the possibility but not practical in family and close relationship.
