"Almost half right."
Sakai Katsuko rummaged through her backpack for a moment and found a pink eye mask.
She was wearing this eye patch because she originally planned to take a nap under the shade of a tree when she got tired from drawing at noon.
I put it beside me just before boarding the ship.
Shengzi handed the blindfold to Gu Weijing.
"Bring it on and lie next to me. My mother sometimes plays some Pilates meditation tapes or soft classical music, but I think it's better to be quiet now."
The girl sat cross-legged under the awning of the fishing boat and patted the bamboo mat beside her.
It seems like yoga.
"Just lie down"
Gu Weijing took the eye mask and touched his waist.
He felt that his flexibility was not very good and he could not handle some difficult movements.
"Of course, just lie down. Do you think my dad's body type, a person like him who has difficulty bending down, can put into any difficult positions for my dad to touch his belly with his backhand? It's not difficult." Human."
Sakai Katsuko burst out laughing.
"My mother has long given up on asking him to assume the meditation posture recommended by the Pilates instructor. Just lie down next to me. Lie on your side, close your eyes, and put your hands naturally on Around you, this is called lying meditation in Buddhism."
"Of course, you can also forget the names of Pilates, yoga, or Zen."
"These so-called practices. From a scientific point of view, these methods are simply better ways to get a person into a meditative state. Lying down can slow down your blood flow and oxygen consumption, and calm the excitement of the sympathetic nerves.”
"If you recite Jingye Si silently, you can calm down, or you can recite Jingye Si, they are just means."
Shengzi explained a few words, "Be a When a painter is at peace, he can more easily see his heart, understand what he wants to paint, and understand his own artistic path."
"I remember, that day in the parking lot, I said to myself. Do you think, if painters like us want to reach the top of our careers, we have to find our own way as a painter?"
Gu Weijing nodded and took the blindfold.
Just when she was about to bring it to her face, Sakai Katsuko softly called her boyfriend.
"Wait a minute."
"Face me when you lie down. If you don't mind, you'd better take off your top too." Ms. Sakai tried her best to pretend to be calm. The earlobes turned pretty red again.
Gu Weijing was stunned for a moment.
As a boy, Shengzi doesn’t mind, but it would be boring for him to act coy at this time.
He had been wearing a short-sleeved shirt in the summer, but it had just been soaked by the lake water and hadn't dried yet, so he just took it off now.
He put on a blindfold and lay on his side next to Sakai Katsuko.
"It feels a bit like Rembrandt." Shengzi glanced at Gu Weijing's chest and said playfully.
Gu Weijing was a little embarrassed.
Rembrandt’s human portraits tend to be bony.
His body type is slim, not as fleshy as Uncle Sakai's, but he does not have obvious abdominal muscles. He cannot be called a very muscular figure, but it can be seen a little bit. Order the ribs.
When Katsuko Sakai said this, it was obvious that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
"If I were Rembrandt, Shengzi's beautiful figure would be Rubens." Gu Weijing answered silently in his heart.
Rubens’s brushwork is more sensual and delicate than Ingres.
This sentence was a sincere compliment, but he felt it was a bit frivolous, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Sakai Shengzi also eased a lot of her shyness with the joke she just made. She gently stretched out a slender finger and placed it on Gu Weijing's chest.
Anyway, I just kissed him, and now the impact of the finger-skin contact is not as strong as the lips.
She slowly pulled her fingertips from the collarbone down along the center of the chest until it stopped at the junction of the sternum and abdomen, and then slowly lifted it up.
Reciprocate rhythmically.
"Gu Jun, let your breathing follow the rhythm of my finger movements. Exhale when I pull down, inhale when I lift up. Breathe, inhale, exhale, inhale and feel the oxygen filling your chest. Then it was slowly spit out by the lungs."
Sakai Katsuko recalled her mother's actions.
Breathe, breathe
Gu Weijing felt Shengzi's fingers on his chest, crawling slowly like a small ant.
At first he felt itchy and his body was very hot. Soon, as the chest took deep breaths again and again, Sakai Katsuko guided her very rhythmic breathing.
He slowly felt quieter.
“Listen to the sound of the water flowing under the boat. No need to make eye contact, feel the lake view outside with your heart, imagine the sun shining on the ripples, like diamonds scattered all over the lake, imagine yourself It's that lake, broad and calm, and you can feel the power of tranquility flowing out of your body."
Sakai Katsuko seemed to be speaking next to his ear, and he could feel her warm breath. Spraying on his earlobes, it was like background sound coming from a far away place.
Gu Weijing lay quietly on his side on the bamboo mat.
Listen carefully to the sound of the water flowing over the hull of the ship, and from an unknown cruise ship in the distance, there is a faint and resentful bent piano played by the violinist in the hand.
Human’s five senses are connected.
Gu Weijing slowly saw the lake outside in front of his eyes. To be precise, the scenery of the lake outside slowly emerged in his mind.
The lake slowly rises and falls along the water system built around the lake in the botanical garden, and the sunlight dyes it into a huge piece of pale golden Burmese silk.
GuWeijing grew up by the river.
But it is rare to feel that water waves have such peaceful power.
The Yangon River is wide. In the section where it enters the sea, the average altitude drops only half a meter per kilometer. It is not a majestic or exciting rapid.
But the Yangon River is never quiet.
During the day, there will always be various sightseeing cruise ships and ferries passing by with their whistles on the river. Even at relatively peaceful sunrise or night, there will be a large number of women with children. Wash the clothes vigorously in the washbasin.
At first, the Tourism Bureau felt that a large number of women were using lake water to wash clothes in the tourist river section, which somewhat affected the appearance of the city, and issued relevant notices prohibiting this.
Later they discovered that the foreign tourists on the cruise ship liked to watch Asians dragging their families around to wash clothes like a flock of chickens.
Very strange.
Every time a cruise ship is packed with people taking photos of the distant river view, the tourism bureau officials just let it go.
The sound of a big stick hitting wet clothes, and the sound of cloth rubbing hard against the uneven wood grain of the washboard, mixed together by hundreds and thousands, rumbling like a temple in Yangon. The sound of bells and clappers for morning and evening homework carries with it an inextricable air of worldly smoke and fire.
The waves in Gu Weijing's heart are always full of all kinds of noise, just like his previous state of mind.
Now.
Slowly, he felt the quiet beauty of the lake in Shengzi's gentle voice.
“As I just said, all meditation is just a way to make it easier for people to calm down their minds. When you know yourself quietly enough, you will feel desire and confusion alternating in your mind. Emerging, this is what goes straight to your heart. When you answer these questions to yourself, your way of being a painter will naturally appear."
Shengzi frowned, "This is my mother's theory. , is also a very mainstream theory in the art world now. I wonder, Gu Jun, have you ever accepted a similar statement before?"
"Calm down and feel the power of the soul."
Art. In the circle, every painter hopes to gain a better mood for painting.
So all kinds of tarot cards, astrology, spirituality, mindfulness, Zen study groups, yoga and Pilates have been popular for hundreds of years.
It is not surprising that Aunt Sakai is a fan of this Tao.
Many artistic people, with the idea of giving it a try regardless of whether it is useful or not, have signed up for similar courses and treat it as a personal trainer for fitness.
Even Dulwich College has included the now very fashionable mindfulness conditioning course in its elective course schedule to allow students to regulate their mood and inspire creative inspiration.
Don’t say it yet.
Gu Weijing had really come into contact with yoga before.
Rumors say that every Indian girl has practiced yoga or Pilates to a greater or lesser extent, just like many Russian girls have practiced ballet to a greater or lesser extent.
Gu Weijing’s recommended books for his high school English grammar class included a complete set of travel notes by the famous travel writer Paul Theroux.
On the text.
When the acerbic British writer was describing his impressions of traveling in Bombay, he once heard a local describe all the beautiful girls in India as "enchanting geniuses in bed, practicing the Kama Sutra full of sexual tension" The Envoy of Charm".
In these years, Miss Sandnu’s school has been troubled by the pursuit of crazy bees and butterflies.
Objectively, this text has contributed to the erotic fantasy.
Many little boys, whose minds are filled with male hormones that have nowhere to go, are full of daydreams and are ready to imagine.
Whoever is lucky enough to peel off the emotional cloak of Miss Chairman, the flower of the high mountain, and the cold beauty, will be able to see a hot scene that will make people nosebleed.
Gu Weijing didn’t know.
Indians are all yoga masters. Are they just like the stereotypes and prejudices of old Europe that every Dongxia person knows kung fu and every Brazilian can jump up and volley a football?
But he knew.
Mona does have the habit of practicing yoga.
He was even invited by Miss Sandenu to practice yoga together several times in the music of the Asan ethnic style in her gold shop.
I don’t know if it’s because the yoga practiced by Mona is not very authentic, or the yoga that Brother Paul Solu was exposed to back then is not very formal.
Anyway, except for the scene of a young lady with a slim waist and long legs wearing yoga clothes, raising her legs and lowering her waist, revealing a beautiful waistline like water waves, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
In fact, the whole process is very serious.
Not glamorous at all, but rather serious and solemn.
The scene where he was taken by Mona to do yoga was no different from playing the Nintendo "Just Dance" game with two people, which has more difficult moves and stronger body stretching.
The family-traditional yoga practiced by Ms. Chairman, as well as the accompanying meditation method that calms the mind, is to prevent you from being distracted and having random thoughts during practice.
But Gu Wei Jing and yoga seem to be somewhat incompatible.
He practiced briefly for two days, but he actually refused this opportunity, which made the boys in the school envious and jealous.
On the surface, Gu Weijing is not a sports enthusiast with a soft waist and strong hand and foot coordination.
In terms of athletic talent, basketball star Jerry can beat him several times.
Mona’s movements look simple, and require higher flexibility than Koko’s cheerleading dance training.
Gu Weijing suffered from back pain. Every time he went home to take a shower and lay in bed, he felt that he would not be able to get up the next day.
On the other hand.
Gu Weijing has a very strange attitude towards the various ways of cultivating the mind in the art circle.
Although artFamily may be the profession with the most crazy people among the mainstream professions in today's society.
There are many anti-vaccination and flat-Earth believers like NBA star Irving in the art category.
However, Gu Weijing is a person who has received a good education and believes in modern science.
He actually doesn’t believe that these messy spiritual practices are really useful.
At the same time in a corner of my heart.
Gu Weijing was a little worried again, what if this thing was really useful and he had mastered it?
Yes.
Gu Weijing was inexplicably worried that these methods of training and cultivating his mind would really flatten his character.
Almost all meditation, even if you are locked in a small dark room and practice joyful meditation.
Most of the highest realm is how to calm down and become a peaceful person.
Mona’s yoga method pursues the goal of “discharging all negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, unwillingness, anger, and anxiety” through the stretching of the limbs and breathing. in vitro.
The body is like a sponge, slowly squeezing out all the "toxic" emotions, and finally recognizes one's place in the world.
All things are born in order.
A servant is a servant, and a master is a master.
Don’t be jealous of those in high positions, don’t bully those in low positions, and finally become a peaceful and compassionate person.
In a sense, the pursuit of yoga practice is somewhat flat.
If the ancestral yoga practice that Mona mentioned has specific rank differences like the martial arts internal skills in the Hong Kong martial arts that Mr. Gu Tongxiang loves.
A layman like Gu Weijing, who is filled with the desire to become a great painter and the pursuit of changing his destiny, must be Huizhi Lanxin who was born without cultivation.
Even Mona, who seizes every opportunity and wants to become a fairy lady who lives a leisurely and wealthy life in the upper class, has not yet started practicing cultivation.
When.
Being like Mahatma Gandhi, who was shot through the chest by a bullet, still calmly clasped his hands, and slowly died and stopped breathing while reciting the Bhagavad Gita, can be regarded as a true magical power. A great master of mind cultivation.
He is certainly not qualified to make unqualified comments on a world-famous outstanding politician like Gandhi.
Being able to be so clear and peaceful that you can treat your life without any emotion should probably be a very high state of mind.
But Gu Weijing didn’t want to be such a person. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
