A "vulgar " yoga session

Something funny happen at my yoga session yesterday, My guru started off with an instruction for free warm up exercise and she asked us to go through a routine of our choice. So, obediently each of us just do as she told us. Some of us choose a simple routine and some really put effort in going through some difficult stunts. It was a normal routine. After the warm up session, she to us to stop and she will take over.

She asked us to do a front spilt and it was a very difficult move especially for the man and she gave out a simple instruction and she shouted " suck it all up" and we just do as we were told and we suck up our bandah and pull up our chest and muscles.This move is actually to make the front spilt easier or more perfect. For man, we need to take care of our "balls" more carefully. It could hurt a lot if we keep that stand for a longer while.

The next move was "Crow" and as we practise that stand, she shouted " push it all in" and what she mend was to push in our stomach and in this way, we can perfect the crow stunt. She was looking flat face when one of my fellow student reminded her that our neighbours who is not aware of our yoga stunds would be thinking that we are having an orgy. Human being's thinking is always dirty.

If someone put the words together " suck it all up" and " push it all in" , these are love making messages and their imagine will run wild.

Just like when two people ie a male and female is sleeping under the same blanket. There must be lovers and they make love under the blanket. If you tell the story that it is for fun or we are just best of friends. It will not be believable and you will look stupid. Just in the above situation, being human, we jump to the same conclusion. But, actually there could be nothing. Yes, nothing.

We formulate the image based on the vocal stimuli and our past experience through experience, books and movie. All these make belief factors will come together and form an image and an image from our past knowledge and experience.

Let go of these movie images and take a look at the matter more clearly and more deeply. Unlearn to learn and you will see freshness and the truth.

Namaste.
