Yinyang challenge Day 4

Here is an update for today. Brought Amma for her morning appointment, and didn't have the chance to go for morning jogging. 

I drew a flower today as a part of my art activity. Wondering what I shall draw next.

Meditated today with the group and as usual it was very powerful. I feel very blessed to meditate each day. 

I want to share about family. Family comes first and all of us should take good care of our parents. They don't give birth to us, but we choose them to be our parents when we design our life blueprint before birth. 

Remember, We choose them! 

Yinyang challenge Day 3

Started the morning with a walk. Made a few laps and I'm happy to start the day this way.

As a daily practice of reading book, I have completed reading a book. The book actually 3-in-1 books written by James Allen. 3 books are printed in a book. I finished reading the first book, As a Man Thinketh. 

I made a drawing of Buddha today. Yes I used tracing paper.

I joined a zoom class today and one of the elderly masters mentioned her experience of meditating while holding crystals in her hands. I have been wanting to use crystals for my meditation for sometime but I just didn't get them.

I made a few research and ordered selenite crystal and a Topaz Pyramid. I was unsure if 1 selenite was enough but u just ordered a piece. Then I saw a video on tiktok where someone used 2 crystals. So I ordered another piece.

It would take around 2 weeks for the crystals to arrive. I'm excited to receive them soon and can't wait to use in meditation.

I would update about the crystals once I receive and how I would use them. We need to energize the crystal before using and there are ways to do that, which I will share soon.

Thank you Universe and my dear God for this powerful and energetic day.

Yinyang challenge Day 2

A very positive Sunday as I was very happy to start my day today as I am a part of the Yinyang challenge.

I started the day by going for a jog but rain started to pour. I came back home and used the oscillating machine.

I made ice cream today. Most of the ice cream in the market contains egg whites so as a vegetarian family I make ice cream for the family. Today I made jackfruit ice cream, after learning the recipe online.

I had a good time continuing to read As a Man Thinketh book today. I would like share my experience of reading this book as this was also my journal entry today. The part which I learnt today is on how thoughts becomes habit, and habit becomes circumstances. Our pure thoughts which crytalize into habits of temperance and self control, which solidify into circumstances of repose and peace. Our thoughts are the key to our life.

Anapanasati meditation is so powerful. This meditation is thought to the world by Buddha. We can either sit on the ground or on a chair to do this meditation. Technique is very simple and many people have achieved miraculous experience by practising this meditation. We have to close our eyes, and grasp our hands together and cross our legs together. Even if we are sitting on a chair we would have to cross our legs. And we have to focus on our breath. Sounds simple but the challenge is on focusing.

We have to overcome any thoughts which arises and focus only on our breath. Thoughts will arise, that is normal but we have to bring our attention to our breath. 

so that's my sharing for today. Thank you Masters and universe for this wonderful day.

Yinyang Challenge Day 1

Started my Day 1 of my Yinyang challenge by going for hiking in Taman Melati, Nilai.

Hugged a few trees and thanked the trees. A way to connect with the nature. 

A quick meditation at the Muniswarar temple. I also meditate for 60 minutes at night Zoom group meeting.

Book Reading with As A Man Thinketh.

Book about our thoughts. Our thoughts shapes our character.

Learning new skill. It can be art or music. I learnt how to make a Mandala today, and probably will be making more Mandala arts as I find this interesting.

here is the first mandala I have created:

My journal entry for today 

I have also avoided gossiping throughout the day. I have been a vegetarian for a past few years now and this challenge also requires us to be a vegetarian, avoiding garlic, mushroom and microwaved food.

My experience sharing for today for everyone who is reading this blog post.

Thoughts shapes our character and way of life and how our life goes. When we think good, good things will happen, likewise to bad things.

Meditation is the key to shape our thoughts. Meditation has gave me some extraordinary experience. Try meditation. I will post more about meditation in my upcoming posts. 

Thank you Universe!
