From pieces of mind to peace of mind
It was dusk when I was walking back from my office on a hilly road after having had a rough discussion with my reporting manager. It was a beautiful evening. A mild breeze blew and the trees were swaying as if smiling back at the breeze. But my face looked dull, my eyes were swollen, with tears still flowing down. I could not enjoy the beauty. I was thinking about the discussion that I had a few minutes ago. I felt shattered. All I could do was to blame myself, the situation I was in, my manager and eventually my life on the whole. But that was not it.
Deep down I knew blaming was not the right thing. Occupied in my own thoughts, I saw a trail of ants carrying food. I wondered what it was that kept these ants going. Sun, rain, storms nothing seemed to affect them. I wanted to be the same, unshaken by whatever came into my life. I knew I needed to practice yoga, something I had learnt a few years ago that had always kept me going. A combination of some simple breathing techniques and some yoga asanas had always helped me feel good.
