Yoga is a solution to all life issues

數天前，我和朋友在閒聊，談到瑜伽，我們的未來。她問我想做什麼，我告訴她我想把瑜伽分享給更多更多的人。

多年前當我第一次踏進瑜伽中心時，我以為瑜伽就是伸展一下身體，以及平靜心靈，這是我從媒體那裡得到的印象，我所知的就是這麼一點點，我並沒有上網去研究一番。

當我持續的練習，了解瑜伽更多時，我發現瑜伽原來遠不止於身體的伸展。瑜伽是關於生命的本質，以及如何活在喜樂中。瑜伽讓我看到，是我們的無明，導致我們痛苦。喜樂其實一直在我們內裹，就是因為無明，因為我執，所以我們感受不到喜樂。

然後我參加了瑜伽老師培訓課程，我想學習更多，了解更多，從無明中覺醒，活得輕鬆快樂。

在我修習瑜伽前，其實我有聽說過無明這個字，我大概知道它的意思，但並沒有深究過，因為我覺得這是很正常嘛，就是因為我們無明，所以我們這世是凡人。我從來沒有想過我們可以藉這次的生命，從無明中覺醒。再者，怎麼做呢？

雖然我沒有想到覺醒這麼遠，但我一直也希望自己能進步，成為一個更好的人。所以在瑜伽之前，我也嘗試過不同的方法，參加過不同的自我成長課程，這些課程都有點幫助，但又總是欠缺了些什麼似的。

直至我遇上瑜伽……

瑜伽終於解答了生命中的所有問題。它告訴我什麼是無明​​，為什麼我們會無明；什麼是我執，為什麼我們會執著於人事物，狀況，身份名銜...，它教導我怎樣從無明和我執中走出來，怎樣放下；它不斷淨化我，清除不必要的習性，以及所有阻礙我蜕變的障礙；它教導我謙虛，接納；它教導我如何保持平衡和穩定的狀態，去輕鬆應對生活的狀況；它告訴我，我們的本質是愛，和平與喜樂；我們不是頭腦裡的思緒，我們也不是那些情緒；它提醒我好好去觀照着思緒和情緒，這樣便不會被它們牽著走。它告訴我去好好享受生命的每一刻，但同時又不要被生活狀況牽引着，緊記時刻保持着平衡和穩定的狀態。

瑜伽解釋了一切，一切都非常合理透徹。

我很感恩被引領到瑜伽這道路上，我會持續修習，淨化自己，同時亦希望有更多人有機會感受瑜伽。

Few days back my friend and me were discussing about yoga, our future. She asked me what I want to do. I said I want to share yoga to more people.

When I first stepped into the yoga studio, I thought yoga is about stretching the body and peace of mind. This is what I get from the media. That's it. I haven't done any research.

Gradually I found yoga is far more than stretching. It is about life, about how to live joyfully. It is about realizing it's our ignorance leading to our sufferings. It is about realizing the joy and bliss is already within waiting for us to taste it.

Then I took teacher's training courses. I want to learn more, to come out from ignorance and live a joyful life.

In fact, before I start practising yoga, I heard about this word ignorance. I kind of know its meaning but have not given any serious thought. I thought it's normal, we, as human being is ignorant. I never thought we can come out from ignorance with this life on earth. Even if I want to, I don't know how, what to do.

Yes I want to grow and improve myself, to become a better person. So before yoga, I have tried different means, taken various self improvement courses. They might help a little bit, but something is missing.

Until I met yoga...

Yoga is a solution to all life issues, a path to joy and bliss. It teaches me what is ignorance, why we are ignorant; what is attachment, why we are so attached to people, situations, things, titles... It teaches me how to come out from ignorance and attachments. It keeps purifying me, removing all blockages, obstacles, and old patterns hindering my growth. It teaches me acceptance. It teaches me how to remain balanced and stable so I can deal with life issues with ease. It tells me our true nature is love, peace and bliss. We are not the thoughts in the head. We are not the emotions. It teaches me to be watchful to the thoughts and emotions so I won't get pulled by it. It teaches me to involve in life deeply, enjoy every moment yet remain untouched.

Yoga explains everything. And everything makes perfect sense.

I am so blessed I am being led to this path. I am continuing this beautiful journey and I hope more people get a chance to taste yoga.
