spiritual sunday #19

this was the week where I was engaged in life .infect so much that I wished if I had more time. I read the book about buddha’s eight fold path ( probably twice ) and write about it. it makes complete sense. it seems like a great framework everything that I can read, understand or wished fits somewhere. it arouses my interest to go deep in some teachings like five aggregates, five hindrances. 10 fetters. but I think as I have a good understanding of the framework, this week should be more about how can I implement it on my life. or the pilot week on the buddha’s path. think it through what step can i take now and integrate in my life.

spirituality - this week was a serious boost in this domain. I believe I am naturally getting pulled more in the direction of insight (wisdom) part of spirituality. organically it start to make sense that if mind is calm alert you can’t help but see the nature of reality. meditation went as usual. till the end of the week I was not engaged in afflictions ( or didn’t even have the time for it. ). but at the end of the week I indulge a little. and I am not sure if it is true because of cause and effect but next morning I paid the price as agitated mind in the morning.

health - worked out 6 days of tai-change very smoothly. and I am done with first face of tai-change program and learnt the first 6 moves of tai chi. although I would like to take a break here. and do max30 for next week or two.

work - although I would say I was very engaged in spiritual aspect of life. that I didn’t pay much attention to work. work was not in flow. i was also finding it spiritually challenging to work with my colleague, but I handled scenarios quite skillfully. one thing that bothers me is this multitasking I am doing these days in work ( listening songs or teaching ) mainly because work is quite easy. to be honest not bad but not in flow either.

family - quite normal.
