I initially started writing on this blog about my life in general …the text sounded too generic ..i was not sure whether that was what i wanted to write about ..my life ramblings …it maybe had a better place in my personal diary …i sat down to think what was special about my being ..what was it that i was doing right …what was the one thing in my life that i would like to record and let the world know about it too …then it dawned on me ..i am a person with a very very big ego..my anger overpowers me …i suffer from various self created health problems which are mostly stress induced …but this is not what i want to write about …the fact that today i am able to accept these shortcomings is a fruit of a certain kind of lifestyle that i am trying to adapt gradually…and this gradual process of detoxifying my life needs to recorded …only if i write about it i know i will continue it ..otherwise like all my plans this too will be trashed soon …!!!!
This detoxification is a wholesome process of which food and breath are a big part.We breathe that’s how we live but as human beings we hardly give any importance to our breath ..we don’t even realise that we are breathing… this was the first step of change ..to give due importance to my breath ..and this happens with PRANAYAM and MEDITATION !!
Food being another very important aspect of this …Ayurveda says you are what you digest…so the food that you eat along with your digestion process impacts your whole being. We need to eat quality food and improve our digestion process only then we can achieve a fulfilling lifestyle .
All this detoxification requires one basic thing …. We need to be in our present always …mind likes to oscillate between past and future ..to control this mind is the ultimate detoxification !!Some things in life are so simple yet so unique …their simplicity shouts out to you in a special way ..one such being my favourite comic strip Calvin and Hobbes !!! Their brilliant insights on life, childhood and state of humanity are funny and reflective at the same time.Here is Calvin’s insight on remaining in the present. Enjoy !!!
