Week 2 of YTT: … Is this a sign?

Growing up in a typical Asian family especially with two elder siblings who are both still dependent on my parents and still a constant source of worry for them, my parents had a lot of expectations of me and of course a part of me did not want to add on more worries or disappoint […]

About being weird. (HX)

We’re all different. Jessica was teaching us about chakras. Put simply, they’re like seven plates of energy centred in our spine, positioned vertically on top of each other but spinning parallel to the ground. She told us that commonly, people’s chakras spin clockwise. 14th November was a rainy day, so much that the train I […]

忙到炸的一周

忙到炸的一周！！！真的是一眨眼就到周五了！这周我学校有郊游、毕业典礼、家长会、year end party，全部集中在这几天，忙到真的是就差睡在学校了。还好随身带着瑜伽服，中午吃饭时间就关着门偷偷在课室里练习体式，上下班也在地铁上背梵语，但是明天就要考试了，感觉没准备好（暴风哭泣）！！压力山大！！记得上周末我们学习了双人飞，Nicole老师说我们班很好的一点是大家都很nice，懂得替对方着想，在相互配合的过程中，一点抱怨都没有。很开心听到这些，真的感觉我们的团魂（还是班魂？）杠杠滴。在学双人飞时，我和博士、先慧姐姐一组，本来我挺不安的，因为我基础很差，她俩都超厉害的，很担心拖他们的后腿，但是他们非常耐心包容，让我很自在放松，没有丝毫不舒服的感觉，整个学习过程很享受，而且在过程中完全信任对方，去共同完成一件事的感觉很棒很开心！还有就是周六下午的教学课，我们学习了业障。那天下午真的是很珍贵的回忆，大家都说了很多自己的经历和感受，有笑有泪，又爽又走心。真的很爱我们班这样的集体氛围了。就是考试来得太快就像龙卷风，加上这周特级忙，所以也是压力满满了。刚去参加了同事亲人的葬礼。还剩今天最后一晚的练习。唉，也只能尽力而为了，希望明天大家考试都顺顺利利。 2018.11.16 YTTC Li Yin
