spiritual sunday #5
(wed-sat ) a week spent with family. there is something about energies in this place that i don’t feel very productive. I love to live with my family but don’t enjoy much living in morena. I am also more productive when working from cafes. and it’s not possible to get that setting here. this week i ended up reading peaceful worrier, in-out from thoughtworks interview, restarted creating design pattern course on udermy. spent unusual time on facebook and it was pretty clear that mind had upper hand this week specially when i didn’t know what to do right now. and i had a lot of these times this week. and I also went half way on a grammar course and start reading GOT.all in all i could say it was not the best week in terms of emotional stability and productive perspective, in one sense i could also say it was more of a low period and I felt a bit lost. but in retrospective i can say it was pretty good week as compare to other times i had in morena.
upcoming week I will move to delhi.
spirituality
I put good effort in meditation, i did around 3 mediation session each day. and also increased time from 20 to 30-40 to even 1 hour (once) per session and i think it makes more sense to do 40 minute session now. I also tried meditation on loving kindness and compassion, on the other hand I felt helpless against old habits, specially when i face an empty stretch of time and I don’t know what to do. more often I endup doing something that could give mind some stimulation, and I felt attachment kicking my ass and leaving me miserable, I also felt loved around my parents. for this week i would love to focus 2 strong session 40 minute each morning and night. and probably 1 in the afternoon on the strongest affliction or required immeasurable. also the most skilful action against empty stretch of time would be relax first then choose an action b/w meditation, work, talk, or do a specific action. or read a book or just take a walk listen to music. the worst possible action would be to react with random action. a beautiful quote from peaceful worrier
boredom is consciousness trapped in mind
health
I did 4 session 2 yoga, 2 t25 and felt quite happy about it. one problem I was noticing is my kneecap on right leg was popping unexpectedly. and I also felt shins unease in exercise. this week i would like to talk to a doctor about the same. and start doing tai chi / yoga instead of impact exercises. i would also like to read more about tai chi and pranayama this week.
family
this was an amazing week from this angle. I loved bonfire every night with smoked potato, food and care that one can only expect from family.
work
I haven’t done any and probably this is the major reason causing dissatisfaction. at some level this is expected while I am in morena, I feel like standing in junction. while waiting for visa process which should be something I would be getting further information this week.
from the work point of view focus on completing courses on php/ symphony and grammar.
