Pointe Noire , Congo

Yoga journal. I read only one magazine right now. That is yoga journal. As I become more and more involved in yoga and practice it everyday I started to realize and experience the benefit of it. It is obvious that there are a lot of benefit but how to trick ourselves into setting up a routine to do it daily is not easy. I think of Brian Buffini when I was still a real estate broker. He ask us to write a personal note to five people everyday. It is not easy to do everyday but now I am making a pledge to practice yoga for one hour at least everyday. I will email or write to my teacher back home in Thailand. What do I want to accomplish this year. Still not prioritise it yet. One of my goal to do last year was to publish my book and go on the yoga teacher training. I was wanting also to do meditation each day of the year. Now this year, I am going to practice yoga every day of the year. I have been doing that regularly since I came back home to Pointe Noire. In Thailand I did it for only 5 days a week. But now that I continue very day it started getting into routine and I wish I have develop some of the breathing technique. I want to really graduate and be a yoga teacher among many thing else that I wanted to do. I want to proof to myself about postures and meditation and feng shui and all. What will we do next. I will need to prioritise my time. I like to play golf, drumming , dance salsa, play piano. I like musical instruments and I want to develop I these fields. Actually I want to participate in the golf tournament but I am not ready with my hand rather akward from the train of wrong grip before. I want to get a new clubs that will allow me to swing better. Anyway as of now I still will use what I have. SO far this year, at least I have accomplish this thing right at the beginning of the year. I want to lead a group to Thailand. Writing group and yoga and many others. What will we do next. What is Karen and Steve doing this year. I really want them to meet Franklin. What else , I feel closer to Niet & Vicki from the fun we have had together over the past 3 years. Now Franklin is due to leave and ready to go. I realize that I am all over the place and not focus on the yoga practice. O.K. let’s go back the subject at hand. Yoga , o.k. I have been practicing yoga since the age of twelve. I actually did it first from the book and my first teacher was Kru Chod Husbumrue. I went to practice with him accompanying my elder sister Sutthee , who later has introduce me to the meditation group of S.N. Goenka also. Yoga and meditation has always been my core practice and what I wanted to do but I also want to have a family. I want to have children, husband a house with swimming pool and microwave oven. What else did I want when was a little girls later on I have it all but the next thing I want to do is to be a published author and a yoga teacher. Have my own studio and retreat and lead group to visit thai temples and all. At the same time I want to have enough money to run my house hold and to calm down my husband. What I has always been believing in in term of income was from the rent of properties so, contrary to my husband believe, I want to have more properties to get rent income. Our income property we have in Walnut Creek right now is not yet positive cash flow yet. It will be o.k. once we raise the rent and refinance it to be within 2500 $ a month. But there is this property tax and insurance. How can I see the way out about reduce tax liabilities and get the tax back for this two items. My husband believe that there is no way out and he is very different from me about looking at opportunities. What do I need to do now. O.K. One thing is done is that the monthly payment will be more or less the same as the rent income. But that will only pay for the monthly mortgage. SO what do I do to pay for the tax and insurance also. How to do with other thing to set it up in ways that will make thing happen for the better. I am not too keen about what Judy recommend to me. I am not too concern about all this. Here is where the yoga come in. I have been practicing everyday, but not at the same times. During the jet lag time I practice more early in the morning. First thing in the morning. I am sitting at the very nice outdoor secluded area of my house where I really feel great. The breeze from the sea is so good and the humming of the machine noise are very minimum.I will move the table from downstairs up here so I can sit here more and no need to go downstairs where there are too crazy with all the personal. I like my house in Bangkok also because the maid is not always there and I can time the work hours. My nephew is very considerate and capable about many computer thing and I will straighten up my web site as soon as possible. O.k. the new thing to do yoga. Practicing everyday has started to align myself back to have energy to follow many other thing that important to me. The first thing is the gradtitude towards the teachers. I have been trying on my own to practice everyday, to loose weight to follow this and that program. Now I realize that I can not do it alone. Even writing this I am attached to Selene and Clive and also Ajan Nilawan and Ngampan . they are my writing teachers. Practicing yoga with Kru Sunee was the most blessing. She has the method and the attention. The system that took me step by step. I am ready to do more but I still wait to do it with the teachers. My heart is expanded at the voice of Gurumayi through various teachers in the home study course. I am blessed and on the right path. O.K. what do I do now show gratitude and communicate with the teachers. I want to write the article for yoga journal. About teachers appreciation. Will I be able to go back to Thailand within the next few months. It doesn’t look like I can go that quickly. For this month , I want to arrange my web site and get ready for the visit of my children. May be I should go to walk tomorrow. I want to at least have some outdoor time. But I want also to spend my morning hours for meditation and yoga. I will go to practice golf and all the other stuff only in the afternoon. I want to write something to many people. What is the next thing to do about going to Lendrick lodge in Scotland. I want to have the EU passport and it will be great. I have all these things and I am lucky. O.K. what do next. Writers ,the way Selene lead a class would be great. What will be the next thing Iw anted to do. Believing in the thing here. How about Marie Faillnet with her essential oil thing. Will I have the gatherings at my house. My husband will benefit may be. O.K. back to yogs. I know this from writing with Clive. How did I get to this practicing yoga everyday. Going back to the root. Back to my first teacher who ahs passed away but I have got the chance to learn from one of his first students. I saw the other teacher who teach at Philip Wain but she was not very discipline and methodical. Today it rain and that’s why it feel so great out side. I will use this veranda often and one thing I won’t spend too much time with is the TV. Most of my teacher ahs no TV I don’t think we need that at all. What else we can listen to radio or not have to listen to anything at all. Read the paper and not just any paper. I only feel like reading the Herald Tribune only. O.K. how far have I strayed away from the yoga subject. I now have done the regular thing so far that is to practice yoga everyday and meditation everyday. The next step to practice the breathing. I wonder if I could go to any short workshop to do that. I only want to do it with the teachers until I can remember it. But for now I just come out to the veranda and breath deeply each day. Would that be o.k. for now. The technical thing that help me with practicing everyday was the yoga mat. I should have bought two of them. I have the place to practice in Isabelle’s room. When the girls will be there I will also practice. O.K. will this be sufficient for today. Tomorrow I will again do more. How about walking. I need some walking also. How I love it out here . The view of the sea is great and it is quiet. It is an ideal place to be practicing Pranayama. I hope to get some guidance about that later on. When I am ready the right teacher will show up. I want to first loose weight to 150 pounds. It should not be that hard. Now that I count everything. How I wish I could bring everything to Thailand. We need a few stuff for the house. The house is really ready for yoga class. The inside is expansive and not too crowded with stuffs. I like it that we ‘d already have the house blessing. I don’t like the argument of all my sisters. Anyway, it was ready and it was great. I don’t have to do much ceremony. I can do it with the help of my friends.Khun Pim and all the others. Will I send the new year card to Tiew at Muang Ek. She live not too far from me. I told her that I practice yoga and see how much slimmer I will be when she see me. And how about the massage lady. She is very professional.
