Chapter 2: Sudden Awakening
After the summer vacation, I slept later and later every day, from one o'clock, two o'clock, to three o'clock, and slowly approached dawn, and the consequence of this was that I didn't get up until noon every day.
The next day was boring, TV, computer, daze, gone. I felt more and more sluggish, and the day of idleness made me feel more and more tired, and perhaps I should move my body and sweat, or my spirit would become more and more sluggish. The body will also get worse and worse.
I walked into the study from the living room, constantly thinking about what to do to exercise and move my body, my eyes glanced at the bookcase, as if I remembered something, I walked over and opened the glass cabinet door, and pulled out a somewhat old book from the far left, which said Health Muscle Yoga
This was given to me by my aunt two years ago, saying that I was not in good health and often caught a cold. It would be better to practice this body, so I promised to take it and put it aside.
I opened a few pages and took a cursory look, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was good, it was not a strenuous exercise, but its twisting and stretching movements were appropriate to stimulate the tendons. I said it was just for me!
Okay, that's it, read on.
"You can't eat staple foods for two hours before yoga, and you can only drink water for an hour and a half after doing it, that is, you can't eat for four and a half hours."
I mummered or compromised, then eat less!
"Yoga is also a spiritual meditation activity, quiet, relaxing, reaching the depths of your soul" with a picture, a woman with a ponytail is sitting cross-legged, looking at the action of meditation like in a martial arts drama, I don't know why, looking at her, I have a trance-like feeling, as if floating somewhere
"Quiet, relaxed, deep in the soul", I subconsciously muttered to myself.
"Jinjin, it's time to eat, come out quickly, I made fried rice at noon today, come and eat!" I woke up at the sound of my mother's voice, and I looked at the open book in confusion, wondering what was wrong with me
"Jinjin, come on!" Mom screamed again
I said, "It's coming, it's coming!" He closed the book, set it aside, and went to eat.
I put this strange trance aside.
It was nearly half past seven after dinner, my mother was cutting fruit at the dinner table, I was sitting in front of the TV, but I didn't read the content of the TV at all, I remembered again, that strange trance, it was really strange, how could I suddenly be stupid when I looked at the book, it was like being hypnotized, what the hell is going on!
After eating the fruit, I sat at my desk and continued to read the book, most of which were pictures with brief text descriptions, and I hastily flipped through them until I reached page 58, and I stopped unconsciously
The two words appeared in front of me, "meditation", and she was still the woman who meditated, but now she was lying on the ground like this, her eyes closed, her expression relaxed and natural, and I looked at her, as if she was also infected with her tranquility.
"Meditation is one of the most precious techniques in yoga, and it is the way to achieve concentration.
The ultimate goal of all true yogic meditation is to lead people to the state of liberation.
A yogi practitioner uses yoga meditation to subdue the mind and detach from material desires. ”
I read the text slowly, as if I didn't understand, hazy.
