The big step

Been quiet for awfully long time. My apologies for that. It has been a whole lot of a roller coaster ride prepping for this trip hence I could not concentrate on any writing mean time. I am finally here after more than a decade of dreaming about this. Finally furthering my masters degree in a foreign country. 

There were a couple of things that i always told myself that i should strike off before i enter my 30s. As the years passed by, i managed to get a couple of things done, but just one was not quite getting there. That was my aim to further my masters abroad. At a point in life, i thought i should just give it up and maybe just get a certification or something, or even a part time degree locally. But the thought itself did not give me the satisfaction. I was almost aimless as to what i want in life and how i would go about it.

It was when yoga came into place and i boarded for the most thrilling roller coaster ride i could ever had been. 

From not knowing where i stand and which path should i take, i went through a series of events that slowly began to hit me with what i always wanted in life and where i should be heading too. Like Master always said, it is the inner desire, the desire of the inner self that matters the most. Guess i was really lost, as it took me 2 years to be where i am today. 

I would tell how this whole thought of abroad studies suddenly popped out from inside the box despite all the risk and issues that i thought would be a hindrance, it just fell into place, but that is entirely another chapter, we shall save that for another day.

Nevertheless, i am here today, somewhere i thought i would never be, something i thought was never possible, that one aim that was left to fulfil before my 30s, it is all happening and it will all fall beautifully into place.

Everything you want in life, every pain you face in life, has a reason and the power to make it happen lies in you. You just have got to listen to yourself really carefully, and want what you want a little bit stronger than ever.

Om.

Chakras

Namaskaram,

Below is a good write up that I got from Yoga Philosophy Facebook Page. It talks about the 7 charkas in our body and what each and every one of that chakras means. The write up describes the dimensions that each chakra opens up to you and what controls them.

Yoga Philosophy - 7 Chakras

In Hindu and tantric/yogic traditions and other belief systems chakras are energy points or knots in the subtle body. They are located at the physical counterparts of the major plexuses of arteries, veins and nerves. Chakras are part of the subtle body, not the physical body, and as such are the meeting points of the subtle (non-physical) energy channels, called nadiis. Nadiis are channels in the subtle body through which the life force (prana), or vital energy moves. Various scriptural texts and teachings present a different number of chakras. There are many chakras in the subtle human body according to the tantric texts, but there are 7 chakras that are considered to be the most important ones.

Yup, you read that right!

I am a risk taker, and I am pretty adventurous, but these segments of myself were concealed deep within me and I am finally out.

June 3rd, 2014, I resigned my job. Nope, I am not moving to another job, I am just staying home. :)

I always wondered, what would it be like doing that. Mind you, I am a mother of one girl and i have responsibilities and bills that i need to settle at the end of every month. But, I still chose to do this. Why? Simply because it makes me happy. It is nice to be jobless, let me rephrase that. It is nice to not go to work to work under someone and pick up tasks to complete them whether not you like them. Trust me, it is annoying. Especially if you hate what is being thrown at you.

I loved this job for a while, because I was handling a job scope and project that I loved and it made me happy. It was tough and not a day went by that I did not curse it under my breath, but I loved everyday of my life when I was involved in it. The day it ended, I lost my interest. Things were getting boring and low. There was not a challenge that was worth taking. I lost my spirit to work, so I decided to quit.

Some may call me irresponsible or selfish. But hey! I need to be happy and sane from within to raise a Happy Sane CHILD. The inner peace and happiness matters more than what I wear outside and how my hair looks like.

So yeah! I am jobless and I love blogging. It is nice to stay up late and think about doing the things you love without worrying about getting enough sleep to get to a job that no longer makes you happy.

Think about it and do that one thing that you always wanted to do....your perspective about life will change ;)

Peace, Love and Harmony
Om
