Οδήγηση και Φιλί: Όντας όπου η καρδιά σας είναι
| 
από Alan Cohen. Είδα ένα ρομαντικό ευχετήρια κάρτα που έδειξε ένα ζευγάρι φιλιά στο μπροστινό κάθισμα του αυτοκινήτου. Το μήνυμα που είπε, "Αν μπορείτε να φιλήσει κατά την οδήγηση με ασφάλεια, δεν δίνετε το φιλί την προσοχή που της αξίζει." Κάτι που αξίζει να κάνει ...
Επιβράδυνση Για να φτάσουμε εκεί νωρίτερα!

Η αυξημένη από Thomas M.. Στην επιχείρηση παροχής υπηρεσιών πιάνο μου, δούλεψα πολλές εβδομάδες επτά ημερών, και περίπου δεκατέσσερα-δεκαέξι ώρες την ημέρα. Κάποτε, όταν είχα μια ιδιαίτερα κουραστική μέρα μπροστά μου, αποφάσισα ότι θα θέσει όλη την προσπάθειά μου σε σκόπιμα λειτουργεί αργά. Δεν μπορούσα να πάρω ένα ρεπό, οπότε πηγαίνει αργά για τουλάχιστον μία ημέρα φάνηκε αρκετά ελκυστικό.
Κάνω κάτι διαφορετικό: Πώς να σπάσει Οι συνήθειες και ρουτίνες
|
από την Karen Pine & Ben [C] Fletcher. Έχετε ένα αγαπημένο κούπα καφέ και να πάρει λίγο θυμωμένη αν ένας επισκέπτης χρησιμοποιεί λάθος; Έχετε πλευρά «σας» του κρεβατιού; Όλοι έχουμε μια συγγένεια με την επανάληψη και τη συνήθεια, συχνά όταν δεν υπάρχει καλός λόγος για αυτό. Είναι απλά οικειότητα, ζώνη άνεσης μας.
Εξάσκηση Προσοχή και καλοσύνη
|
by Dr. Susan Bauer-Wu. Living amid the busyness of our high-tech and low-touch society takes us away from fully experiencing our day-to-day lives. We often live on autopilot, πράξη χωρίς αντιμετωπίζετε. We can be quick to judge, react, resist, run away, or retreat when things don’t...
Investigating Feelings: Good, Bad, or Indifferent
|
by B. Alan Wallace. We often consider feelings as existing with only positive or negative values. Besides positive and negative feelings, there are neutral feelings. We want pleasure, we don’t want pain, and we relax when we feel indifferent. When a pleasurable feeling arises or is anticipated, the response of most...
Πώς να θεραπεύσει υπερβολική σκέψη
|
by Ian Gawler & Paul Bedson.
Excessive thinking is rarely creative thinking. More commonly it is driven by craving (or desire) and aversion (or fear), and is often aggressive or defensive in nature. Excessive thinking loves to “attack” problems and anything or anyone that...
Ζώντας με τα συναισθήματα και τα συναισθήματα,
|
από Rob Preece.
When we learn to respond more healthily to the emotions and feelings that arise, we can radically change the quality of our lives. One of the greatest disappointments I felt in growing up was that no one ever gave me help in dealing with emotions. The experience must be extremely widespread, because...
Living in the Present or the Past?
|
από Thubten Chodron.
When observing our mind, we may notice that much time is spent thinking about the past and the future. Thoughts and emotions twirl around, seemingly of their own accord, but sometimes we must admit to churning them up or at least not making the effort to counteract them. What do we...
A Step Toward Peace
|
από τον John Ptacek.
We spend our lives immersed in a flood of thoughts, unaware that another dimension of consciousness is available to us. It is a dimension in which we come to know ourselves as something other than thinkers. By taking a step back, we become the witness of our thoughts. This subtle but radical...
Η ζωή είναι μια σειρά από στιγμές
|
by Dan Millman.
While we live, we’re doing something in every moment. That doing may be sleeping and dreaming, or laughing or playing, or sitting very still in meditation, or writing or stretching. Life consists of action (or stillness) moment to moment. So even if...
Are You Being Hypnotized by Advertising?
|
by Eldon Taylor. Your adventure begins with a close look at how you might acquire some, if not all, of your beliefs. I could ask: Are you hypnotized? Let’s consider an idea suggested by Richard Bach in his book Hypnotizing Maria. Imagine that a stage hypnotist has hypnotized you. The experience will seem quite real, even if it’s a pure hallucination. Imagine you’ve been...
Our Lives Always Begin Now
|
by Dr. Richard Moss.
To come to the beginning of ourselves is to cease to be victims of circumstances, the actions of others, or even our own mistakes. The true story of who we really are begins now. We are no longer tossed willy-nilly from one desire, thought, or worry to another in a futile process of trying...
Awareness versus Self-Improvement
|
by Dr. Richard Moss.
It is not what we feel or experience that we need fear; it is what remains unconscious that poses the real threat. Parts of our survival psychologies, such as an unconscious need to feel loved and secure by helping others, eventually betray us...
Pure Potentiality
|
by Deepak Chopra.
The first spiritual law of success is the Law of Pure Potentiality. This law is based on the fact that we are, in our essential state, pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is pure potentiality; it is the field of all possibilities and infinite creativity. Other attributes of consciousness are...
Ανάπτυξη Mindfulness
|
So often we do not have our minds on what we are doing -- our bodies are doing one thing and our minds are on a totally different tack, which creates disharmony. In order to turn off our “automatic pilot”, we need to develop more awareness of what we are doing, to do things more slowly so that we can see each part of the routine action more clearly. Try doing tasks as though for the first time, so that they require your...
Έχοντας πλήρη επίγνωση
|
by Jim Pym.
The Buddha's teaching of simple mindfulness or awareness as a way to enlightenment is particularly suitable for people today. The key to mindfulness as a form of meditation lies with the breath. As with many forms of Buddhist meditation, the breath is used as a vehicle to calm the mind.
Antidote to Suffering
|
by Arjuna Nick Ardagh.
When you look at a painting, whether the Mona Lisa, the Birth of Venus or anything you find beautiful, where is the beauty coming from? Where is the source of the beauty? It is obviously not coming out of the painting, or everyone would agree that one painting is beautiful and another is ugly...
Μαθαίνοντας να ζεις τη στιγμή
|
by Richard C. Michael, Ph.D.
One of the most difficult and rewarding things you will ever learn is how to live in the moment. Quite simply, if you are to have power to create the reality you want you must learn how to live in the moment.
Γιατί όχι τώρα;
|
by Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D.
The present is the only time we can choose between love and fear. When we fret about the past or worry about what to do in the future, we accomplish nothing. And yet, our mental habit of reliving the past and rehearsing what is to come generates various forms of pain.
Choose Joy -- Again & Again
|
If you were to observe yourselves very carefully and observe the choices that you allow yourselves to make in your existence, you would observe the limits to which you yourselves choose to impose on the joy of your existence. You would observe the degree to which you limit your joy of existence.
Ακύρωση, Ακύρωση, Mind μαϊμού
|
από Ric Giardina.
Our minds tend to chatter away, describing all manner of disastrous possibilities and outcomes, particularly when faced with difficult tasks or decisions. Barraged by complaints, criticisms, and doomsaying, it is no wonder that we can become paralyzed and unwilling or unable to take any action at all.
Towards An Aware Humanity
|
by Wayne Teasdale.
The elements of awareness encompass conscious knowing, the ability to read hearts, to be a healing, loving, compassionate presence, situated in the Now. They also encompass practical wisdom in every situation, the ability to enlarge perspective, to affirm others and promote dialogue and mutual..
Απασχολημένος, απασχολημένος, απασχολημένος
|
βy Marie T. Russell.
I speak with a lot of people daily, and it seems like "not having enough time" is a recurring theme... We spend our waking hours doing things on our list of "things to do" and not having (or taking) the time to do the things that would nurture our spirit and that would please us best.
Ρίχνοντας τις ετικέτες
|
by Susan Ann Darley.
The biggest trap in the world to fall into is that of making careless and cruel comments about others. It is difficult not to jump in and fan the fire with our own critical take on another. It is equally as difficult to ...
Finding Reasons to Feel Good
|
by Lynn A. Robinson. Have you ever suddenly and inexplicably felt depressed or irritable when just moments before you'd felt fine? That happens to all of us from time to time. The next time it happens, take a moment to remember what occurred just prior to your shift in emotions. What did you tell yourself about the comment or situation that made you feel bad?
Accidents and Synchronicity
|
β
y Ashok Bedi, M.D.
The soul often whispers to us through synchronistic events. A synchronistic event occurs when we recognize that two or more causally unrelated events resemble each other and catch our attention. When we don't pay attention, the message has to be more powerful, perhaps in the form of an accident.
Ελευθερία Μέσω Αυτογνωσία
|
by David Montini.
The fear was so intense that he could feel his heart beating in his throat. Moments before he had been enjoying the company of his two older female cousins (16 and 18 years old). It had become a normal Sunday practice to play with them after escaping from visiting next door with the adults. They were engaged in their weekly naughty behavior of playing poker, sipping wine, and smoking his aunt's non-filtered cigarettes.
The Bridge of Empathy: Connecting to Others Through Compassion & Awareness
|
by Sharon Salzberg. As we open to the full range of experiences within ourselves, we become aware of what we perceive in each moment, no longer denying some feelings while clinging to others. By coming to know our own pain, we build a bridge to the pain of others. Knowing that someone will suffer if we perform a harmful action or say a hurtful word, we find we do these things less and less.
About Time, Labyrinths, and Life
|
από τον Paul Pearsall, Ph.D.
We may think we have learned to tell time, but actually we are allowing what we have made of time to tell us how to lead our lives. The next time someone asks you, 'Do you have the time?' consider it a profoundly important question. Don't look at your wrist. Look into your heart and mind and translate the question to 'Are you paying attention to your life?'
Τέχνη της αληθινή ευτυχία
|
από Sharon Salzberg.
We can travel a long way and do many different things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. It is born from letting go of what is unnecessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home. True happiness may not be at all far away, but it requires a radical change of view as to where to find it.
Dissolving Solid Views
|
από Pema Chodron.
It takes some training to equate complete letting go with comfort. But in fact, 'nothing to hold on to' is the root of happiness. There's a sense of freedom when we accept that we're not in control. By not knowing, not hoping to know, and not acting like we know what's happening, we begin to access our inner strength.
Ζουν στο εδώ και τώρα
|
by Dr. Richard T. Lovelace.
Living in the here and now is the only way to make it safely through life with as much stress-free enjoyment and productivity along the way as possible. Some of us go down the path (life) shining our lights (focus of attention) too far and too frequently behind us (the past) and ahead of us (the future).
Discovering Sense Ability
|
by Doris Wild Helmering.
Sense ability is the skill to observe your thoughts, your feelings, and your behavior. It also makes you aware of others and provides real-time feedback as to how your feelings and behavior affect others -- inhibiting or inviting closeness, empathy, tolerance, emotional intimacy, interconnectedness, and oneness.
Seasons & Κύκλοι της Ζωής
|
by Marie T. Russell. Summer has gone... and Winter will be arriving... yet Spring will return. The seasons pass in nature, as in our own lives. The winter of doubt and fear does pass away as we become aware that there is no one to blame for the dark times we went through -- not even ourselves. These are simply the processes of life, the changing seasons as it were.
Cool Heart, Wise Heart
|
by Ajahn Sumano Bhikkhu and Emily Popp.
The world of distraction spins around and around, while moving continuously to keep itself amused and entertained. It transports us to a world of fantasy, or a world of controversy, or competition, or of just about anything other than the one true existence that is right before us. Distraction keeps our heads turned in the direction of momentary pleasures, excitement, and delight.
All Work Is Play
|
από Ernest Wood.
When purpose and pleasure are brought together work becomes play. Every bit of work done in this spirit strengthens the man who does it. It is recreative as well as creative.
