The forest within!

Strolling through the forest,
What is ahead, is left behind
Steps after steps of thoughts dissolving into fear
I am directly next to the buzz of the crickets
The cracks of the woods
Hidden away from the sun, the green world
Dark but ancient
Silent yet reslient
Away are the temple bells and stupa drums
The horns of the sacred echo resounding deep within
I suddenly realise
You see what your mind can see
You hear what you want to hear
Is it the questions you bring or you bring yourself?
The door or the way back ?
Deep within the mysterious forest lies
Both the way out
And the way within
The doorway in or the way back?
Deep within the mysterious forest lies
Both the way out
And the way within!

Medicina, Medicina!

Art by Luis Tamani, link below! All the emotions suppressed, What happens as the layers reveal one by one? As the events unfold The truth undigested The past in front of you like a mirror. How long can you sustain a smiling face? Doesn't it get tired after a little while? A little lapse and you’re in the same loop once more. The thin line between the worlds Once the box is open there is no going back? Or do you? Hidden underneath your suppressed voices. It's the stories of the cultures. The cries of the civilizations Thriving in the whispers What do you do? When strangers cross their paths? Who is the first to initiate the contact? Or who is the one who feels the need to? So you see it is the stories of the cultures. All the emotions suppressed. The thin line between the worlds A little lapse and you're in the same loop once more. How is it any different? ...

Let me graze in my space..will you?

Panchpokhari, November 2021 Let me graze in my space Leave me at peace And all will be well! As it is supposed to be But then you want trouble Everyone wants trouble, no? Don’t you? Not that they are wanted But they come chasing anyways Somewhere around the bend Just when all the troubles were away Simply following the lead Leads coming from wherever Who knows But there was a perfect day No it was a perfect shade No no it was perfect time No no it was the air The loss of sense of time Or was it the dimness of the sun Sitting by the foothills All the stress magically dissolved away Comfort sinking in even if for a bit As coincidences coincide It is a time when you can rejoice in simply being Participation mystique they say But it is true what it is that they say Yes let me graze in my space Leave me at peace And all will be well! As it is supposed to be But then you want trou...

My first Qigong and Taichi Session!

Luna in the middle followed by us practitioners on the sides! I was first surprised to find Taichi and Qigong public events at Couchsurfing. Even though not sure what to expect I decided to try it out because I have somehow always been appealed by the Taoist Philosophy. Having seen Taichi and Qigong flow movements in the movies and popular culture, I wanted to give it a try without a second thought. Thanks to the free session hosted by Luna and Nayeem! I visit Nagarjun forest/hill/region whenever I feel too clogged in the life within Kathmandu's hustle and bustle. The Nepal Yoga Home is located at the foothills of Nagarjun and at a picturesque location. In a way it is quite a place to host Taichi as well. Luna and Nayeem greeted me with gentleness and their warm presence. First off, Luna’s choice to practise outdoors was perfect. The fresh air outside was welcoming. And the view to the valley in the distance is a blessing in disguise. Even though I was the only one to show up at ...
