What will you feel, if you have an unknown fear to face. Oh...hold on...there's some one near you whom have the ability to help you but is too lazy to move a bone to help. What would you do?

Your peace and tranquility would not come unless you deal with that unknown fear . The only one who have the potential refuses to help you. What would you do?

If you are going to leave the fear as it is, you would not leave in peace, and subsequently, the person whom have the ability but do not want to aid is also affected by the commotion and fear you express (by your screams and shouts).

Isn't it foolish for the person to not help you. He's indirectly creating his own trouble in a way, unless he moves away.

Well, some would recommend you stand up and face your fear, but you might say that you have so much fear that you are left helpless. Some may say it's an excuse but you insist that you are too fearful.

For all this trouble, why not the person help you and later on, you learn to handle your fears slowly. Ain't this a nice ending.

Why must that heartless person just leave you to face your fear alone , and leave you in pain, which indirectly creates nuisance to him. Ins't he ripping his own fruits by sufering the nonsense and noise.

You may wonder why I wote this article. My answer to this question is because I have seen many times, these situation occured to many people around me, and sometimes myself. This article came out of inspiration while I was searching for something to write.

Too Much Energy

A few weeks ago, I talked to a friend of mine and he told me how he deal with excessive energy in him. After talking to him, this idea of dealing with excess energy was brewing within me for a few weeks while Iponder of possible ways to deal with excess energy in a person. Now , I have finally came out with answers to this question.

Have you ever felt within you , at certain time ,when your internal energy reserve is overflowing with excess enrgy and you are wondering how to deal with those excess energy.

Some would play games , maybe computer games. Some might play basketball, go for a swim , a game of badminton , cycling ...etc. Some may hit the gym or do some work out.

To consider the extreme cases, some may try to relieve himself or herself of those energy by bullying others or doing something hurtul or harmful to others.

The rare cases would be some trying to make full use of this excess energy and learn to conserve and use them . Indeed a rare case. Instead of spending the energy, they learn to conserve and keep these energy somewhere. ( A very clever way indeed )

I would touch on how to transform such excess energy into something useful in this topic. I Hope you don't mind of it's extensive length.

If a person were to experience in a build up of excessive energy within them , and they want to relieve themselves by exercising or in any non - harmful ways ( drawing , playing games , creating blogs...etc ) then it's fine , but if the usage of the energy is to harm others, I would recommend that if possible, re direct this harmful usage of energy into something productive.

Below is a visualiation for those who are interested in to follow , so that they could re direct energy in a proper way .
________________________________________________
Method 1

  1. Sit comfortably on the floor or on a chair or sofa.
  2. Straighten your spine comfortably. ( need not be too straight)
  3. Relax your body , shoulders, face ,stomach ...etc and also breathe comfortably.
  4. Place the tip of your tongue behind your upper jaw ( behind the row of teeth on the upper jaw). Be comfortable.
  5. Now place your attention below your stomach region.
  6. You should feel a sensation of excess energy raging through you. But sometimes you don't get this sensation which doesn't matter. Just know that that's your energy reserve area.
  7. Now mental visualize that the excess energy slowly spill out of your reserve area, slowly but steadily , flowing your whole body with energy.
  8. You may feel that every atom in you start to become hyperactive and you may feel urges and sensations start to surge through you.
  9. Ignore the urges and sensations . Just allow the energy to spill out.
  10. Visualize that the excessive amount of energy flooding out, healing every part of you.
  11. When the energy floods to the boundary ot your being, allow it to flow out into the environment around you.
  12. As the energy flow out into your surrounding, your mind should wish all things well as the energy flows.
  13. When you feel that you have no excessive energy left , slowly bring your mind to your rserve area and slowly open your eyes.
  14. Stand up and do some stretching and proceed with your daily chores.

Looking back at today, it's another not so fruitful attempt at meditating. Sigh. I haven't meditated for a very long time. Now that I have the time, I decide to meditate daily if possible. It's like trying to do 50 situps in a minute after you haven't done it for a year.

This time, the meditation was indeed interesting, may be not this time. This had happened for some times.Maybe in the past. When I meditate, I felt mini tremors in my leg which are not visible to the naked eyes. According to some masters, it is a sign of progress, but I wonder if it is true. Yet again, I couldn't sit still after 15 minutes into meditation. Not something surprising because of the numbness you have to overcome when you sit motionless for sometimes. I hope the time of endurance could be lengthened. But anyway, I felt a bit better after the meditation. Not because of relief from the numb, but you just feel better generally.

Anyway, getting into the main topic for this post. It's really hard to find a friend who understands you very well and also display unparallel loyalty and honesty . It's very rare to meet a friend who truely understand you because not everyone could understand each other, even with pictoral aids or aid of language or an understanding of the other parties' behaviours.

Even an empath is no better than two friends who bond together as though they are one individual only.

Why? So what if an empath could feel the other party's feelings, but he/she might not understand the two friends because something like these could be so profound that it's beyond words, beyond language,beyond pictures and beyond feelings. It's beyond this worldly feelings.

So what am I trying to say? It's hard to meet such a friend where both of you could bond very well, as though you two were actually one person. It's really rare on earth.

I have a very very close and yet good friend but there's something that's hard for me to tell him. Both of us haven't reach a state where we become one individual. This is to show how rare such friendship where two individuals could "merge" into one could occur. Though such friendship is rare, but it still does occur.

Chinese call these bosom friends " Zhi ji" , which "Zhi" means know and "ji" means yourself. It means that two friends know each other so well that as though He becomes me and I become him.

Such " Zhi ji" should be well treated and hopefully, such friendships are able to survive forever.

I am currently having my End of Year exams in my tertiary school. Not really easy and neither too difficult. Tomorrow is my last paper. Hopefully it would be easy.

Now I have managed to find some time to update my blog while I am taking a break from my studies.

In many religions, cultures and beliefs, there are many legends and beliefs that state that all of us have a core, which is our soul.

At the moment of death(physical), the soul would unbind itself from the physical body . There are sayings in ancient cultures which state that although we are dead physically, our souls live on. Death is only a process where the soul releases itself from the mundane world to continue it's journey in life. Some beliefs said that the spirit would go to heaven or hell. Some beliefs state that the soul would become immortal and some said that the soul would reincarnate.

Either ways, it seemed like many cultures agree that our souls have survived from countless aeons of reincarnations and rebirths. Past life regression therapies have proven life after death and reincarnation and rebirth.

As we move on the seemingly endless path in life, reincarnating and having rebirth, the soul seemed to be wondering throughout the countless aeons of survival and the countless millions of times of rebirths and reincarnation. Many souls seemed to try to find that something. That something which would give them truth ,final bliss and reason which would explain all these endless hardship, happiness, sorrow, joy, life,death, rebirth, reincarnation...etc.

Many souls have that in their agender to find that special something which could terminate their miseries and sorrow, and maybe even joy and happiness. But many times, the soul have wondered off track many times. Rebirth upon rebirth , that agender was fresh in the mind of an innocent infant, but as life goes on, the agender was / is and will be lost. They would hanker after greed, riches, material comfort. They would loss track in their lifes.

When a tiny whisper of words from within the heart emerge, advising them with useful advise, many would shove it aside and pretend not to hear it. Some would even scorn it and label that voice without much further investigations and become skeptics.

So long have the soul been searching for that special something, which seems to be so near and yet so far too.That something that is the end of all things and also the beginnings.

Many mystics , hermits, and spiritual people have mentioned about that special something, and many have agree that that special something is the goal of all souls. The final destination and also the opportunity to break out of the seemingly endless cycles of rebirth, life and death.

This article is to stimulate readers to sit down and reponder about life. It's to aid and prompt reader to look at life again, and decide what you want at the end of the tunnel. This article is also to help readers rethink about all that is going on in life, before, after, present, past and future.

Calm the mind , enter the vast stillness within. That's a piece of that special something that the soul have been trying to find. But that's only one piece.

My Special Friends

Looking back at the years past and of now, I have a small group of friends but as we move on, we lost contact. Only a handful of friends remained .

I have this friend , who is 5 years younger than me. He's currently in his adolescents age and I have just pass my teenage years and have become an adult myself. Though he is in his adolescent period, he always radiate a cute and childish feeling with also a perfect blend of mature feeling. He's just a perfect blend between mature (physically and mentally) and his childish and cuteness(mentally). He's no doubt my best friend and also one of the closest friends I ever have. We have been friends for more than a decade and still remain as friends till now. I am lucky to have such a loyal and close friend.

I also have a classmate who is the same age as me, just legally became adults. He seem to always radiate this cute feeling and this cheerfulness and childish attitude and mood which is similar to my best friend whom I mentioned earlier. They seem to have within them "The Essence of Pure Youthfulness" .Why I said so ? Because of the feeling, their cheerfulness, childish yet well mixed with matured attitude and their "cuteness" which is indescrible . It seems that some sort of energy is within these two of them that kept them so cheerful,cute and yet a well mixed mixture of maturedness is wihin the two of them, keeping them going.

I hope that their "Essences" could keep them going further when they meet any difficulties in life, and hopfully, they could use these "Essences" to help others who are meeting difficulties too.

Well, it's said that humans and their bodies adapt very quickly to their environment.That's true. You can see that humans have went to the extreme of adapting desert lifestyle.

My point for today is not totally about adpataions but it's partilly about adaptation. I am not really good in sports nor in exercises but I decided to take some basic exercises to strengthen my body and improve my not so good health.

I notice that when I did a number of push ups ( not single digits...I am not so weak to do single digits) , there is obviously some difficulties. I haven't been exercising for some times to be honest. Being weighted dowm by work and exams.

After the first not so successful round of push ups, I decided to look for some techniques. While I was sitting down, I thought of a theory, since humans and their body adapts very quickly, then why not do a second round of push up. I went down another round and added three more . To my surprise , the motion went more smoothly. I am not sure if I am right but I felt lesser resistance. I thought of exploiting this adaptation to create a set of exercises .

My theory goes that you go and do a set of exercise. Not too many till you fall. Just nice amount. Then rest and walk around and do other things . Drink some water. After 10 to 15 minutes, go down again and do the push ups. Try to add around 2 to 3 more push ups to your set. So slowly , you increase your number of push ups in one day quite quickly.

Do around two to four times of this theortical routine or unless until you think you need a rest or a stop.

Do not do some much till you feel uncomfortable or get injuried.

This is only an expeimental theory . I wouldn't be responsible if anything go wrong. Carry this experiment at your own risk.

Sigh, another day when my parents "PMS" and have mood swings. They start to rant and scold with the least irritations. I wonder what they are thinking about.

Any way, I had a few intuition popping up in my head and yet I disobey them time and again.

Many times, I wish I could activate my intuition consciously and yet it didn't work. But when intuition comes suddenly, I doubt them and seldom obey them.

If I had obeyed all my intuition and instincts, I wouldn't have to go through so much mistakes.

I have meditated for quite a few years but not really solid type.At least I have foundation. So more or less, I have developed the ability to allow intuition to occur,and also develop the ability to sense things like people approaching and energy which are the by product of meditation .

To generalize, developing intuition and sensing abiliteis are just the byproducts of meditation .

Well, I wouldn't want to old much grudge. Maybe I should let it go and just let it be.

Many times you would see me with a smiling face and a cheeful aura around me, excluding the small fraction of time when I would be angry , worried or unhappy.

I notice that I am quite an easy going person and quite easily forgive others if they did any worry to me, expect that only if the person really gives me so much trouble that I could not tolerate the person anymore or if he or she betray what I entrusted to him/her for many times.

Maye I am a naurally cheerful person? Hmmm...not sure.

Anyway, I do meditations and meditation could alter your mood so you would be uplifted. Maybe the cause of my cheerfulness is a combination of my nature and meditation.

I hope I could smile everyday cheerfully and without worries.

New Year 2006

It's been a long times since I last posted. I went to South Africa , Cape Town last June. It was a very interesting experience and the senery of the coast around Cape Town was very beautiful. I used my cellphone camera to snap lots of beautiful scenery. I almost ran out of memory space in my cellphone and snapped more than a hundred shots.
I was luck to get a shot of a twin rainbow. For millenias, rainbows have been considered a good omen and they mostly appear only as singls but it is rare that twin rainbows were to manifest.
2005 is over and 2006 is here. It would be a new year and an interesting one. I hope 2006 would be a better year than 2005 , which have been considered a disasterous year where the " 5 plagues" occur which are, earthquake,flood,hurricane Katrina, disease and bad luck.
May all be blessed with a fresh year to start. May you have a happy and blessed New Year.
