Someone told me don’t get too into yoga.
I’m shocked, ‘why?’
‘why do you like about yoga? Yoga might make ppl feel good about you have you own space when you are doing. And if you start clinging on that personal space you have, you have the risk if separating yourself from the others’
I find it quite disturbing. For him, meditation is the path, but not yoga, and definitely not sitting down with your finger curl in certain way kinda meditation. Those are all ego.
Am I on the wrong path? This is a question I have in my mind all these while.
I ask him how to differentiate. He say that real happiness has to be self arising, without depending on other factor.
I know that the yoga postures that we called ‘yoga’ nowadays is just the warm up exercise to prepare for meditation. Ultimately yogis meditate to attain samadhi- enlightenment too. So yoga is meditation.
But I also realize I can get moody (sook Nee still don’t understand why I cry after yoga class), cranky, deflated, emotional after yoga sometimes.
I find it acceptable. But not everyone think that this is safe.
So am I on the right track?
I think I am …more or less.
But I cant be sure…
