It started with HALASANA

Halasana
No… gue ga bisa halasana (Plough pose) itu kok, tapi ada cerita dibalik ini… 
Hari ini gue ikut Yoga Classnya Puru, instructor expat yang dari India. Sering ikut kelasnya dia dari dulu, tapi akhir2 ini karena sibuk skripsi jadi jarang.
After the class, I approach him, buat minta bantuin gue bikin halasana gue lebih baik. Karena uda belajar dari dulu masihhhhhh aja ga bisa… Lalu dia nanya gue, kalo forward fold gue gimana, gue jawab bahwa emang forward foldnya ga bisa sampe cium lutut.
“Yes, I see that u have some problems for the back” Puru bilang
“Yes puru. So how should I do?” I asked him
“Oh, easy.. U keep on practicing, start with what comfortable with you. And yes, if there is some pain when you practicing. It’s okay! Just inhale, exhale, and the pain will go away. Imagine this, you are the OBSERVER, you don’t feel the pain. You let it go away if you feel some pain (He gestured his hand to show my lower back), and it also happen for other pain… Sakit-sakit di hati, just write it down, and you are the observer. So u just see it, don’t feel it.”
Gila… Nusuk banget… Secara gue emang agak masalah di lower back (It’s getting better lah… Hopefully), dan… soal sakit2 di hati… Oh… how does he know?
“Nice tips, huh?” He added with his usual-naughty-and-funny smile.
“Oh Puru, really nice!! I really felt those things lately!!”
“Haha… I can see it, I already know, and now you say it…”
Gue speechless… Mulai nya dari halasana, tiba2 kebawa sampe hal ini… Gue ga ngasi liat muka sedih atau gimana sih ya, senyum2 aja kayak biasa. Tapi emang Yogist mungkin bisa baca perasaan orang. Jujur perasaan gue mengembara… Mikir, apakah gue masih sakit hati? Apa yang gue rasain sekarang aja gue ga ngerti…
Gue bengang……. bengong……. dan memutuskan menjalani my very own McD theraphy (Tee Hee)… Tapi it didn’t work… Pas jalan pulang malah nabrak anak balita sampe gue diomelin bokapnya. “Mas, liat2 dong kalo jalan”
Yes… Ivan sudah melihat, sebagai observer. Semua perasaan buruk akan Ivan tinggalin di post ini. Ivan sudah cukup banyak melihat dan Ivan akan meninggalkannya.
*Sigh of relieve*
