A Yogi's Dark Night
by Elizabeth Buri
While I have my other platform for the more commercially-accepted content, A Yogi's Dark Night takes you to my explicit world during my sleepless hours. Consider this personal podcast as an audio diary, that catches my thoughts for you to listen to whenever you need a friend around in your loneliest moments. These thoughts may be deemed uncomfortably dark for a "love & light" wellness studio-owning yogi and one may call it rants and rambles because of its aimless qualities. That is a fair observation... and yet it is the truest, most uninhibited part of me.Hello & Thanks for tuning in :)

While a lot more happier in my happy place, I am starting to wonder about new signs/symptoms of PMS that were not as evident as now. I am starting to feel like I am entering a new stage- perimenopause. I want to get to the bottom of it... and I do! Meanwhile I also discover a new way of giving...

Right after the Lent 2021. I am glad that daily post was over! But I am not done clearing and cleansing my whole being just yet. Now I am decluttering my life. That's where I am taking the next steps of my Lent. I also share where the ego was at that moment in time. Finding a new little piece of...

Lent Diary 2021: Day 40: It's ALL Me
The night before Easter, I didn't sleep. Thoughts of the day gravitated towards: Being surrounded by noise, the bed I was in was hot and uncomfortable.... and I could feel crawling... things! Am I clairaudient? Why is trying to listen to God not as easy as when I am not trying at all? So with...

Lent Diary 2021: Day 38: A very Dark Night

-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 37: Running out of Care
My revelation is to change my narrative because I am getting angry at everyone but mostly myself because I haven't paid attention to me. I need to turn this shit around and enforce some boundaries. #lent2021
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 36: Angry with Myself
Very much a continuation from the previous post, should I search or wait for something to happen? I am also angry at myself for not keeping my own promise. Disappointed and filled with so much shame.... and desperately seeking encouragement. I don't know if that is a good thing or not, but it is…

Lent Diary 2021: Day 35: In Limbo, so Now What?

Lent Diary 2021: Day 34: Another level of Pissed Off
A mentor once told me that I had ruined my reputation, no one will want to work with me now. In this episode, I definitely don't give a fuck. This episode is about my work and personal life. It's a bitchfest. You've been warned.

What you will find it exactly what I learned through the Liver Flush/Cleanse process, having a newfound curiosity about the health of my brain, and considering the importance of a 10 year plan. This entry is a little jumbled up... but hey, aren't our thoughts very much that? #lent2021
-
Lent Diary Day 23: I Slow Down OR You Catch Up?
The last day of our Liver Flush/Cleanse and I am reflecting on which is better - that I slow down my pace so that I am beside the person/people on the journey... or is it better that I keep my pace to encourage the person/people to catch up to me? #lent2021

Lent Diary 2021: Day 18-20: Liver Flush/Cleanse & SM Detox
I missed out on 2 days on my daily Lent Diary recordings because I started my 12th liver flush. This time it was different because my partner is tagging along with me on the 7-day journey. This is his 1st time so I wanted to make sure he was accompanied throughout the whole process and was well...

Lent Diary 2021: Day 17 : Commitment to Change
This episode has about 3 stories intertwined in one subject - COMMITMENT. These stories make me consider my own commitment to change... and I hope it makes you wonder about your own. Do you want change in your life? If so, how much do you want it and how much of you time, energy and Self are you...
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 16: Perhaps a new Dream?
Still greatly distracted, doing the best that I can to remember what I wanted to say and to put my thoughts into words. I talk about the possibility of revamping my website and Youtube channel, both under LoveLove, Liz. It feels like next steps on a new direction.

Not grateful for being out of control... but at least grateful at the things that I have, what I need and I can control. It's all about perspective... right?
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 14: Distraction turned into Motivation
On this day, EVERYTHING around me was noisy, distracting me from my prayers, meditation and overall attention. I cried in frustration. Until it dawned on me that maybe this is meant to push me to get up and get going with my life. Like, really, for fuck sake, if I can't control it, turn my...
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 13: The Guard & the Dog
Were they just doing their job? What they are trained to do? What is in their blood? Or were they just a way of testing my patience? Is this God's way of testing my patience, and my strength for mercy and compassion? #lent2021
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 12: Pages of Shit: Challenges, Routine/Habits
I once pride myself with long haul, long term routines/habits that would last months, even years. It's the kind of advice any life coach, self-improvement teacher and self-help guru would offer - from waking up early, working out daily, drinking a gallon of water, fasting, journaling, etc. Well...
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 11: The Noise got to me :(
What else do I want my listeners to know? That I was in tears, down and heartbroken from morning until evening. It was not an easy day. What did I learn from it? Only to keep recording.
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 10: Volunteerism & Past-history Fasting
I spent the afternoon with my parents today. My mom and I chatted about how it is not as normal as we think it is to be a volunteer, to want to give our time, energy and love to the people who need it the most. Then we talked about what mom was fasting on this Lent - Letting Go of her past…

Lent Diary 2021: Day 9: Now is time for God
"It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Matthew 4:4 As Jesus walked in the wilderness for 40 days, Satan attempts to tempt him by encouraging Jesus to turn stone to bread to eat. So what if Jesus (and breatharians) are right? That…

Lent Diary 2021: Day 8: Walk this journey with Compassion
If you are anything like me, you would take up a challenge gung-ho and full speed ahead, no buts about it. While that may show courage, willpower, determination and all that great go-getter attitude, it also can be painful. Is achieving the promise of Lent/fasting worth the pain? I rock back and...
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 7: Trusting what is out of my control
I had plans, I had an ideal way I wanted to direct my life. I compared myself with others, striving to be equally as hardworking... and breaking myself in the process. I share my lessons on trust #trust
-
Lent Diary 2021: Day 6: Addictions & Distractions
I couldn't deal with the pains of the sounds around me very early on in the day, no matter what I did - meditate, pray, workout, breath - I was thoroughly distracted and upset. I turned to work to drown everything out. You would think that is a good/productive thing, but I can go on with work…

Lent Diary 2021: Day 5: All on the couch
First Sunday of Lent! Despite it being Sabbath day, the day of rest, it is noisy. As I am trying to explain how I want to venture deeper into the season, I am now faced with not only with my shadow, my light but also my beast. And no longer face to face, but sitting on the couch together...…

Lent Diary 2021: Day 4: What is the point again?
Recorded on what was a seemingly peaceful and lovely afternoon filled with songs of the birds, quickly changed into abruptly to the sounds of the city. Which inspires this recording, with surfaced the question: What is the point of fasting again? Why bother doing it when it is so hard? Here you…

Lent Diary 2021: Day 3: Family untied
Unlike the Ramadhan month where there are countries that fast together as a nation, Lent/fasting is not particularly as popular in many Christian faiths. For those who do practice Lent, their fasts and Lent rituals/habit differ from person to person, family to family. Lent is (ideally) a…

Lent Diary 2021: Day 2: Fasting & Breath
I share my experience with fasting, and how I changed it up in 2019, exploring the idea of longer dry fasts and a growing understanding to the infinite powers of breath. Documented how I felt throughout the day as I completed 27hours dry fast, and 39 hours without food. All was well until I had...

Lent Diary 2021: Day 1: Introduction
2021 marks my 28th year practicing Lent, which is the 40-day season of fasting, prayer and almsgiving for Christians prior to Easter. A couple of years ago, I had documented my journey on YouTube and Instagram. I couldn't finish my YouTube Lent diaries because I was travelling and the internet at...

Episode 11: When We are Set in Our Ways
We are in a time of big changes, drastic changes. How are we taking it? In this episode I give my take on the Nala Design Kuala Lumpur social media backlash and other stories showing how change is not a path people want to take. Because we are "set in our ways". Enjoy

Episode 10: Plan to trash your Plans
For 2021, we, the world, are back in some sort of full or partially restricted lockdown... again. How exciting. I talk about what is going on in Malaysia (briefly) and how I am handling it and what I am doing to cope with the everchanging weathers of time and space.
-
Episode 9: The Ripple Effect of Self Love
Word on the street is that we (in Malaysia) are going into a lockdown (or at least a more restricted control order) by next week. So if we are heading back indoors for a while, what will we be doing differently this time that we didn't do during the first MCO last year? Could we be more loving…

Episode 7 : Late night Luv
What else do you want your listeners to know? That I am here in the city and that I am okay. That I know what it feels like to be confused as to where I am going and what I am doing, and why. That you are not alone, I also feel unloved, unappreciated and unmotivated sometimes. That I am here for...
-
Episode 6 : Be just a Drop
It's been a long while since the last episode, I apologize. I have been navigating through my surprise that I am still here, and why. And I know that I am not the only one who feels this way sometimes. I acknowledge you, and this feeling. I also give my thoughts on being "born a sinner".
-
Episode 5: Post-Incident
May 18th 2020 I was attacked at 7am while walking to the studio with my dog. I came out of it with minor scars... but undoubtedly a broken heart and spirit. I logged out of cyberspace (including social media, emails, phone and laptop) completely to allow my body and soul as much space as I could…

Episode 4: COVID19 = God + Women = World Leaders
The question is 'What if?' Would you be able to stomach the idea that this pandemic is the Divine leading us to a new world? Would you be able to stomach the idea that this new world needs young women leaders? Impossible? Humour me a little and just wonder with me... What if...?
-
Episode 3: Sacred Quarantine
What if COVID19 was a gift - a way of educating us all on abstinence? Showing us that we have all that we need, and that everything that we are meant to learn is within our Selves? And that to tap into our power lies within our lockdown / restricted movement?

Episode 2: Dan Lain-Lain = A Foreign Local
In this episode, I am lying on my couch in the dark, realizing that my new project needs to be about my ancestry. I share a bit of my past and my lineage, culture, with a dash of my new idea project and why I am doing it. ...Except the idea scares me... aka Imposter syndrome. Sure they will find...

Consider this personal podcast as an audio diary, that catches my thoughts for you to listen to whenever you need a friend around in your loneliest moments.
