My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • _The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity_ by Julia Cameron I started this book quite some time ago in hopes of getting myself back into writing regularly. It took me some time to get through it as I wanted to be sure that I was ready to make what Cameron said work for me. Many of her tips were quite useful and having finally gotten through it I have made some…

  • Now that I do not have a typical 9-5 job I should suddenly become a night person and be able to stay up late since I have nothing I have to get up early for. Or so I am told.  It seems I am not meeting expectations properly by continuing to follow my natural patterns of sleep as an early riser and morning person.  The problem with this theory that I am told…

  • _Yoga Anatomy_ by Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews Part of my yoga teacher training includes a study of human anatomy as we are dealing with people’s physical make-up. It is important to know how the bones and muscles are affected by different poses.  Our Bali retreat was mostly for the purpose of studying anatomy with a teacher based there. As part of our studies we are required to read this text.  It is…

  • Remember when I posted about my first paid and published article?  Well, the second one is online now! It has a slightly different theme than the first as I do not always want to seem as if I am negative about being Asian and perceptions held of my ethnic background. 😉 It is exciting to have this opportunity to write fairly freely about issues that are close to my heart.  The next one…

  • _Vayu’s Gate_ by Orit Sen-Gupta  One of my yoga teacher training required books. I read it on my Kindle app which might have taken away a bit from fully enjoying what this book had to offer.  Sen-Gupta walks the reader through the vayus, pranayama and how they work together within various poses.  It was actually really interesting to read though I did struggle to focus sometimes. 😉 That’s about all I am going…

  • Phew, it is the end of the week at last and what a busy week it has been! I have become quite the social butterfly. Who knew I had it in me? However, I must say that I feel extremely drained energetically and am on the verge of delirium as I am also not sleeping completely through the nights for some reason despite being fairly tired. Anyway, the week began with an evening…

  • Yep, that’s right. I barely made it a week of my attempt at the 21-day sugar detox. 🙁 It was not due to cravings or massive desire for sugar, but rather a busy schedule that resulted in eating out more and not having time to shop for food that would distract me from sugary items.  We did well until the networking event on Sunday. There was food. There were bubbly drinks. Then, there…

  • Interestingly, I wrote the title of this post last week after a conversation with my friend that I mentioned in my post about perspectives being relative. Yesterday, I went to a book club (yep! and more on that later), where we were discussing the atrocities experienced by the tribes of Congo by the Europeans – particularly King Leopold of Belgium. As we discussed, one attendee, who is Korean, but spent most of her…

  • After a barely successful attempt at staying sane last week, I decided that I needed to refocus on ensuring that I get myself sitting each day to meditate. The truth is that I have been out of practice and a little bit lax on the meditating scene lately. While I do try to keep my positive mantras each day, I have not quite been working on centering and freeing my mind. Therefore, this…

  • I was away from my computer and Abu Dhabi this weekend, so I could not really post. It was a nice 24-hr break away from the crazy realities of life these days. When we were in Bali everyone was keen to organize a monthly get-together when we were all back in the UAE to keep our connections strong. Although their saying this may have been similar to the passing phrases of “we should…
