3M - Meditation, Mozart, Magic

today i woke up early, at 7:58am. My yoga teacher was very kind that she offered to pick me up to her house from my apartment to her house for group meditation. I had three meditation sittings about two weekends ago, when all these great masters came over from dallas, and so she thought I should start going to group meditation to not waste the sittings.

Ok so we started off with some cleaning before we started the actual meditation.

There was this Indian doctor sitting opposite to me..

so people all left, except me, this other lady, my teacher and this indian doctor, my teacher said she wants to show us a film next sunday, then this indian doctor said he would like to talk about some things next sunday, to share his feelings and experiences with meditation, he thinks some people still dont get it, suddenly he pointed at me, and said like you and the lady next to you, i feel something is going on....i am not talking about her, and her.. ( he was pointing at the seats where two other people sat), but her and this person next to her ( he was pointing at me and the seat beside me)..something is blocking u, u have no idea, there were many questions....i was a little bit surprised, I was just writing on the notepad (everyone got to write on our little note book after each group meditation)...I wrote: this is my first group meditation, dont know why so many things that i didnt expect at all just entered my mind... (Was that a subconscious thing)...obviously i was being very honest with myself when i wrote that instead of saying how i did achieve the state and felt the 'nothing'...now that this doctor was saying that...i have nothing to say of course. My teacher said...yes it is hard isnt it, yes I think "it is hard to be simple,"...I have always wanted a simpler life...

Now that I am playing Mozart, it is soo difficult because it is very simple...it should sound simple at least (no matter how difficult it actually is)...the notes are so simple that a tiny little mistake will throw u off

Then I met with my Japanese teacher for lunch. We decided to do hot pot, i learnt a whole bunch of stuff today,

i learnt everything that i saw:
rice, mee, fish, vege, squid, (and I remember water from risa), soup, clam, shrimp....bag, sun, phone, money (okane)

Review:
Please go ahead and eat
how much is this/that
this is (very) yummy/tasty/delicious
this is fun
that was (very) fun

new phrases/ sentences:
I like rice
I like mee...etc...I learn how to connect them when I am liking more than one thing...so I like rice, fish, vege, shrimp, mee, and soup
Do you like fish?
I am still hungry
Are you full
not really/ so so (mama)
drink it
there is still mee inside
no thanks = no thats enough (kekkoudesu)
yes please (um, Onegai shimasu)
I am happy (shiawase) today


A joke:
I asked him why he msg me "yokatta" that day after i answered sth, wasnt that "afternoon"? Oh maybe he wanted to help me to review the word, but how did he know that I learnt 'afternoon' since I dont remember telling him that ..he was like...what? OH....the truth is...afternoon should be yuugata...uhuh! haha i mixed them up, but no one really told me what yokatta was before, good that i asked..they were so similar anyway

Something funny:
I passed him a stack of napkins, and he wrote some Japanese words on the napkins so that I can remember them better, I got them back...I flip and flip..weird..where is the one with words (there was one that we wrote on)..he said, "Magic" I thought he was kidding, so I kept flipping them, and then he said: no I am serious it was magic!" I looked at him and said: "U ..know magic?"

"Yeah I learnt it before"
"Oh WOW"
"But..I forgot how to bring it back.."
"WhAT?"
"I am sorry I forgot how to..." and he didnt look like he was joking because he seemed a little bit embarrassed
"u remember how to make something disappear but u forgot how to get it back? interesting..." I have to try hard not to laugh
"Next time I will show you some more magic"....

.."But where is it?" I am still very concerned about missing napkin
We started to look around


Finally, I found it on the floor under his chair !.!>!>
