Too often we spend our days racing to catch up, growing frustrated at delays, and worrying obsessively about the future. Instead, we can choose to shift our attitude, to still our minds, to transform our everyday challenges into opportunities for growth, gratitude and joy.
One of the ways is to do yoga and concentrate on our breathing which could help us to create inner peace. Building on the practice of mindful breathing, we could have our quiet moment and bring serenity to the rest of our lives. Whether you are stuck while driving in a rush hour traffic, facing looming deadlines, stuck in a long check-out lines, or struggling with relationships, you will learn to encounter each moment as it comes. You will be happy, secure, serene in the knowlege that life is unfolding the way it should. All stress, anxiety, distress and health problems will be encountered.
One of my favourite passtimes is yoga. Yoga Asanas (position) would definetly increase flexibility of the body and freeing all the energy blocks, help to loose excess flab, massaging the internal organs of the body and help to treat several health disorders. My favourite yoga retreat place is the mountain top as the air is fresh with so much oxygen and the birds and insects chirppings create the aura which will help the mind to relax and mitigate metabolic disorder. I use to have acute migraine and for the last many years I manage to overcome it by regularly doing Yoga Asanas.
Orchard Golf and Country Resort (OGCR) has provided a wonderful getaway to my family as we are the members of the resort. A close proximity to the resort is a criteria of choosing the hideaway spot. OGCR is a great alternative especially during boom years of golf resorts in mid 1990's. My friend from Singapore also signed up at this club as it offers a package. The scenic golf resort has 18 holes, par 72. Stretched at Km19, Jalan Kota Tinggi/Kulai, Kulai, Johor, the resort is standing amidst natural surroundings of tropical rainforest, plantation and orchards. It is also sheltered majestically near Gunung Pulai.
The OGCR captures the spirit of peaceful, fresh-air hilly living in a private golf club environment. Besides the resort own elaborate recreational activities, the area abounds with opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. OGCR has also add the adventure with hiking, backpacking and camping at nearby forested mountain.
In addition to golfing, we enjoy lounging at the restaurant, wadding in the pool, steam up in the spa and sweat out in the gymnasium. I also love to jog in the surrounding area and was once chased by a roundish, black wild boar. That's an unexpected thrill.
Feelings of serenity just by watching the landscape.
True to its name, the landscape is laced with coconut trees and local fruit trees. The undulating rolling terraine, fresh water ponds and sand bunkers are blissful sights. During fruit season, golfers are rewarded with bountiful fruits in season.
