Live in the moment - Trust others

Trust Others - We are often told to " look out for number one" but living inside a shell of caution and safety could become very lonely. Open your heart and trust others. When someone pays you a compliment or says' i love you," sense the good intention behind the statement , and repay it gratefully.

Balacing Salabhasana -the Locust

Practising this hatha classical pose - Salabhasana ( The locust ) with a stool adds a bit challenge in balance. The key is right the midsection , similarly the practice on the floor. but this version works less muscular energy demand to lift the body away from the gravity. i modify it from a simple Kong Fu work-out. The primary benefit of this pose helps strengthening the back and the spine. It also gives a good " hint" how the midsection is engaged in the forearm balancing pose - Pincha Mayurasana.

Live in the moment - Big Bang

Big Bang -the original of the universe , according to cosmological science , was an outpouring of energy 13.7 billion years ago, out of a miniscule concentration of infinite temperature and infinite density. We can no more grasp this reality than an ant can memorize the Bible: our destiny is to be forever in awe of the ineffable - yet to find transcendence through love and faith.

Live in the moment - tuning in

Tuning in - Delusion can be a potent and damaging force in our lives. By harmonizing our actions with the way life really is, we disable this force and keep ourselves free.

Live in the moment - Perfect Partners



Perfect partners "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."

Pincha mayurasana

It 's always been nice time to practice with a hanful of students on Sunday Morning once a week @ Jerudong Park Medical Center. especially this enthusiastic guy. A Secondary school teacher , muslim. He starts his practice since 2007.  It is such a rewarding Sundays when you see how much he has progressed and how persistent he is!! at least  a " perk" to continue doing my job the best.

Live in the moment - Enlightening

Enlightening "Love must be as much a light , as it is a flame"

Live in the moment - Inner knowing

Inner Knowing " listen and attend with the ears of your heart "

Live in the moment - splash

Splash !!Waterfalls, according to Buddists , represent the "permanent impermanence" of the cosmos. In Japan, followers of the Shinto faith hold watefalls sacred  , and standing beneath one is said to purify the soul. Seek out a watefall - if possible , bathe in the spray where it tumbles into the waters below.Gravity exerts a tremendous force -without it , there would be no universe. Behold , in the waterfall , the power of gravity made visible. 

Live in the moment - Openness to recieve Wisdom

Nobility requires no great deed, only relaxed awareness, openness to recieve wisdom , and an unwavering alignment to what you feel is right. We learn to soar not through effort but through faith.

Live in the moment - True faith

Letting go means giving up attachment to results. When you understand that you do not have to try hard. your can give up the fight for results, because you know that ultimately things will work out as they should. Desiring a certain goal in a pose and working to achieve it is different from trying to control the outcome. Just be willing to relax and let go. Know that if one door closes, five new doors will open up. That is true faith: trusting that natural ebb and flow of life. 

Live in the moment - The ideal of surrender

sometimes the storms of life can leterally bring us to our knee. We spend our whole lives resisting the idea of surrender; we see it as weakness ,as giving up. Then suddenly we hit a point where we realize that the moment of " letting go" is not when life is over. it is when life really begins.

Live in the moment - The Self

Consciousness is a state of the SELF. As consiciousness grows , there will unfol in us all the latent qualities. A human being attains perfection by mastering his senses. is there anything that is impossible for him who has mastered his passions?

心智图课程 -Buzan Mindmapping course

心智圖以擴散性形式呈現，是一種培養整體性思考的方法，藉由邏輯、圖像、階層結構，幫助你整理大腦思維的脈絡，讓想法有邏輯又不被框架，學習有效率又掌握細節，學習心智圖的重點在於線條上的思維聯結，而不只是張滿是線條的圖。

如果你是學生，讀書、學習讓你很痛苦嗎？

擔心不斷的學習沒有效率嗎？
找到好的學習工具與方法，說不定學習就會很好玩。

如果你是父母親，你擔心孩子的學習的狀況嗎？
對國內教育現況失望，曾經想把孩子送到更好的學習環境去嗎？
為了孩子的功課不斷與孩子產生摩擦嗎？
其實這一切的困擾、問題與擔心，都可以找到一個好的工具，
好的學習方法、好的溝通平台而解決。

心智圖課程重視的是基礎根基的紮實，
邏輯、態度、觀察力、想像力、溝通能力、團隊合作就是根基， 
學習者首先要克服的是心理障礙，

因為新的一種方法必定與習慣不同，
這些不同會帶來需要適應上的不舒服，接著，

學習者將突破的是重文輕圖的學習舊觀點，
最佳的學習方式是圖文並重，學習心智圖需要你重新拾回畫圖的童心與想像力。

最後，成功的秘訣，是需要不斷的練習，

經由練習就是訓練自己的思維，
正所謂工欲善其事，必先利其器，

我們最強大的利器便是不可取代的大腦，
也就是我們的心智、思維。

以上，學習心智圖的心法，提供大家參考，
祝福大家都能在學習心智圖的路上中，
發現驚喜與收穫！

Live in the moment - Flying Leap

Flying Leap - To be courageous is to take shortcuts : instead of procrastinating, and pondering all possible outcomes yet again, you take a flying jump... and land amid the action. You will only feel lost if you didn't commit wholeheartedly in the first place. Commitment plus courage takes you right where you want to be.
