Walking on the grass

I dislike walking on the grass since the day I was young. I found it sticky, unusually wet, uncomfortable, dirty and so many things. Everytime, I had to go pick up clothes from the clothes line at home, I would quickly scout for a pair of slippers before my foot touches the grass. It can be world war 2 or even the most greatest emergency in the world, I will never step onto the grass without a cover on my feet. That was me, till last year January :) It took me 26 years plus to realize what a miracle can this tiny little flora can be.

First encounter

During my 1st detox session last year January 2013, the first thing that we were told to do was, sip in some sesame oil, keep it in the mouth for 15 minutes, while walking on the grass. As usual, I quickly fetched my slippers, but masters said, walk barefoot. Oh dear! I was already there, signed up for something i had no idea what is it about but I was confident it was going to be very beneficial, so I decided let's just give it a try, and so I did.

That was another longest 15 minutes of my life, not forgetting chewing the black peppercorns in the morning. That day did not encourage me to walk on the grass till i had a wonderful experience a couple of months back.

Sleep is a very important factor  for a healthy life. It is important to have a deep, peaceful sleep. As important it is to have a beautiful sleep, it is equally to sleep without bothering the person next to you. Yes, I am talking about snoring.

Recently, my aunty asked me what can she do to stop her snoring. What is snoring and why do we snore?

My Respiratory Problem

Throughout my life, I wished I could breathe by my nose for one whole day without getting any nose blocks. It sounds ridiculous doesn't it. But Yes, I was literally wishing for such a simple thing.

Whenever I get up in the morning, my nose will have this dry block that feels like a thin layer is covering my airway and it is difficult for the air to get through. Hence, I use my mouth to breath, that could have been a huge contributor to my bad temper.

Mouth Breathing

A short explanation on mouth breathing and why you should not do it
For an example, you are sick and have a blocked nose due to flu. You are left with no choice but to breathe via your mouth. Can you count the number of times you have snapped at people and get irritated for no reason during this whole period of time? I am sure it is uncountable times.

Back to my story. In addition to my dry block, I tend to sneeze when there is a change of temperature in place i am in. E.g. When i move from a outdoor sunny area into an indoor air-con room, or vice versa, i experience this problem.

Many recommended me to undergo minor operations for my sinusitis, but i refused. I lived with it, hoping it will find some cure for it some day. Master Nava told me that cure when he noticed my dry block during shoulder stand during class. I am going to share it with you today.
