Before we start any project or voyage it helps to get to know oneself…and the other – the destinations, the travellers, the conditions etc. There’s nothing easier and yet more complex than knowing Oneself. It is an inward journey, questioning, discovery, shocks and comfort zones.
I have decided to use All of my Senses as indicators, guides and landmarks. Yoga is a great revelator of our consciousness. You don’t need anything else except your own body, mind and soul. Remember the concept of I, me and myself? The Detox Yoga class on tuesday turned me upside down and inside out. Its normal because not only does Yoga help you to breathe consciously but also massages your internal organs. The positions, the twistings and turnings help to bring Life to areas we were probably not even aware of.
• Yoga is NOT a SPORT!!! Please do not be in a hurry to go through the ‘programme’ and perform to prove to yourself that you are supple, strong and sexy 😉 Being Beautiful is allowed! Contacting your inner self is the journey. Like everything on this earth even Yoga has a smell – Sesame seed oil. It is heady yet comforting. Surprisingly we did not use incense sticks (agarbattis) in Paris?
• Yesterday was Gym day. An hour’s workout of stretching, straining and strengthening was easier thanks to the Yoga class the day before. 30 mins on a treadmill at a reasonable pace came as a pleasant surprise but I have to get my ‘breathing on the run’ right. The sound of the gym is exactly the opposite of Yoga 😉 Video clips with ‘almost naked’ young ladies jumping into swimming pools while the rapper is all dressed up drinking french champagne and smoking electronic cigarettes… 😉 It helps to keep me treading on the mill!
• It was also a rather warm day for a quick visit to introduce an Australian friend to my favourite grocery store in Paris for Indian products. Gare du Nord is not Little India as many people would like to name it. To me it will always be Little Sri Lanka but you can get ALL you need for Indian cooking…and more! The prices are very reasonable and the smiling service is a great change from the traditional parisian sneers. Not so long ago I had to get all my spices from London but now the Eurostar trips are nostalgia.
• Discussing Business with a a friend brought us to the topic of Entrepreneurship. You cannot start off any business without any professional training or experience. Ever more you cannot start without knowing your own internal and external structures. Your body, mind and soul have to be in harmony to go through the process of creating your own company. Be it a single product entreprise as a sole producer, marketer, sales person and accountant or a multi-brand, multi-product and multi-partnered private limited business. Your body will decide the number of hours you can put in, your mind will give it the vision and your soul will direct your clients to you. Sheer Profit driven entreprises will give the material comfort. Cosmic Harmony will give you Business Joy!
