This morning, Ana, my colleague, said to me, “…it’s really misty…must be hard getting in , no?..”…funny, i smiled to myself…

so everybody knew about the mist no more secret?…

And so, that was how i felt as I staffed (finally!) for Shim Sung this weekend….and saw …yes, how misty….one spark, so many manifestations….

so likewise…how can anyone see me? how can i expect people to know me? So much emotions….thought patterns….cloudiness….as i looked around at everyone in the room…they all like me! bright spots in the middles…yet i nearly got fooled, on my first day…so i said “sorry” from my heart…for my preconceptions…about you and you and you….

…and i felt really humbled….as a staff…and i realized…there’s so much more to learn…from others….if only i could listen…properly…everyone has something to bring  and i hope, we never forget our worth….even as life can sometimes appear to wear us down….spread us thin…

I came out of the workshop, …a new respectful ”me”!..the staff: the MSNs, the Masters…the passion they bring: to make each flower bloom…so this kind of attitude, i like to become attached to…i told myself…as i watched Master Lee, i saw how i could still keep my playfulness, and yet be responsible in my role….and i realised, how my past behaviours,  could seem offensive to Master Edward at times, as i see the seriousness and sincerity he brings to his role…so the expectations of how i really need to step up to mine…I learnt so much by being “on the job” with the masters… 

Shim Sung

it was a great Shim Sung experience… as i also thank myself, for giving myself the opportunity to discover me…i’m very grateful to Master Bright for  inviting me to help out….that gave me a confidence boost she knew i needed…

Thank you for the wonderful Shim Sung program; Thank you Dahn Yoga; Thank you, Shim Sung Members….Thank you Shim Sung staff, for this opportunity…to learn, to grow together

Life’s ordeals and trials can leave deep emotional wounds, wounds that become inflamed and sore when aggravated. Over time scars may form. They remain ever-present reminders of the pain that was suffered. Sometimes we try to pretend the scars are not there, hiding them, even from ourselves. We dress them up, cover them over, run from them. But these are not actions that will heal the wounds, for there is no comfort in the superficial.

True healing comes from inside, from the place that is both the source of rest and the center of power. When life is difficult, we can go inside our bodies and find the perfect resting place. We can breathe evenly, comfortably and say, “Everything is okay,” and pat ourselves encouragingly on the shoulder. Inside ourselves we find true rest, as well as the peace and the power to perform real healing.
