2011-01-13T14:18:00.000-08:00

You just look around, look into the eyes of a child, or into the eyes of your beloved, your mother, your friend - or just feel a tree. Have you ever hugged a tree? Hug a tree, and one day you will come to know that it is not only that you have hugged the tree but that the tree also responds, the tree also hugs you. Then for the first time you will be able to know that the tree is not just the

Celebration Life is a moment to celebrate, to enjoy. Make it fun, a celebration, and then you will enter the temple. The temple is not for the long-faced, it has never been for them. Look at life--do you see sadness anywhere? Have you ever seen a tree depressed? Have you seen a bird anxiety-ridden? Have you seen an animal neurotic? No, life is not like that, not at all. Only man

The rebel ( Osho Zen Tarot ).

2010-11-13T13:16:00.000-08:00

The Rebel People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment.... The enlightened man cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he cannot be

Consciously directing your thoughts.

2010-08-23T10:25:00.000-07:00

via The more time you spend thinking positively, less are the probabilities to have negative thoughts. Simple. Consciously directing your thoughts towards the positive, makes you feel better, but it's not always easy. One of the solutions can reside in writing them. Putting your thoughts on paper can be very useful and focusing. One tool for doing that can be The book of positive aspects, to

2010-08-11T12:09:00.000-07:00

I could say I am a 42 years old woman, a wife, a mother, an Italian...what else? To be able to live in our society we are taught from babyhood to tag everything, we divide things and people and animals, all in groups with certain features, but. I am 42 years old, yes, but what is time? Actually time doesn't exist, isn't something real, it's created by men for.... organizing things? The only

I saw this video on this blog, and it inspired me to write this post. In my experience I found that we are raised with the fear of being alone, almost everybody consider family and friends the most important things in the world. Are we social animals? May be yes, in a threatening world, counting on other people's help, love and support is a form of security, something that gives us peace and

2010-05-06T02:24:00.000-07:00

I found a beautiful game in a book I'm reading.The book is "Ask and it's given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks, and the game is called the rampage of appreciation.Actually it's something that I've always done, inconsciously, and it's why I love to surround myself with, and contemplate beauty, it gives me joy.The purpose of it is to feel joyful, to feel well, and when I read it, I smiled and loved it

image from: www.ericweisstein.com/How we see life, how we experience events, how we feel towards something or someone, it depends from the meaning we give to it.And the meaning we give to it, depends from our previous experiences or from what we've been told, from what we believe.Reality is as it is, but we attribute a quality to it, this is good, this is bad, I like this, I don't like that.And

2010-04-09T09:26:00.000-07:00

When a goal makes us unhappy.

2010-04-09T07:56:00.000-07:00

It can happen that we have a dream, a desire, something that we really want to achieve, something that we think will make us happy.But if we give it too much importance, we won't feel at ease unless we reach it, thus preventing ourself from being serene now, from enjoying what we already have.And high chances are, that when we reach our goal, we won't be able to enjoy that moment too, because we

When a critics hurts, and inferiority complex.

2010-03-24T09:27:00.000-07:00

Sometimes it happens that, as a child, when we are criticized, scolded, or rejected we can suppose that we are not good enough, or that we are unworthy or that we are less than other people.When we grow, most probably we understand that each individual is unique, and there is no point in making comparisons with others.However, when we receive a critics, it can still hurt in an disproportionate

Being able to say no.

2010-02-09T07:27:00.000-08:00

Sometimes, to say no can be difficult. We are afraid to disappoint other's expectations or to offend them, thus we prefer to renounce at our own good.May be for the fear of not being loved or liked, may be because we believe in the goodness of helping people.I totally understand it, I've been there, and sometimes, for the sake of a relationship, one have to compromise.But there is a limit, when

When we don't get what we want.

2010-01-25T07:36:00.000-08:00

In my experience I found that, when I don't get what I want, it's because I don't want it 100%.Sometimes we think we want something, but deeply, there are aspects of the situation that we don't like.I make some example, may be I would like to have a lot of money, but I have some beliefs that rich people are egoists, that having a lot of money it's unfair, that to have money you have to cheat....

2009-12-25T16:44:00.000-08:00

Let's suppose one has a problem, something worrisome, so the person start to think about it a lot, right? Usually one repeat in his mind, over and over, what has gone wrong, or what can go wrong, thus provoking anxiety, and a feeling that can be of rage, impotence, despair, etc....Do you think this can help to solve the problem?Often this leads only to feel bad.And may be, to make the situation

Sorrow.

2009-11-11T06:32:00.000-08:00

In my own experience and understanding I found that all sorrow come from thoughts, and all happiness come from thoughts.Life, reality, is nor good nor bad, it all depends on what you think about it.And you can consciously decide what to think.Change your thoughts and see how your mood change.

2009-09-24T09:46:00.001-07:00

Many people had or have in their life an episode of despair,the mechanism that lead to it is: taking a problem, focusing on it, constantly giving attention to it, excluding all the rest, thus the problem becomes overwhelming and one cannot see a way out.I make you a "photographic" example: there is a nice picture with something wrong in it, now take this small wrong particular, and zoom on it

About anger......

2009-09-18T06:26:00.000-07:00

Usually someone gets angry when things don't go the way he wants to, or the way he believes is right.And becomes desperate almost for the same reason, things are going bad and he doesn't see a way out.There is a conflict between the actual situation and what he wishes, or what he believes it should be.In each cases, often the reaction is exaggerated compared to what has provoked it, let's think

Many people want to be loved, because they think that it will make them happy, and yes being loved is something nice, but there is something more valuable that is loving.As I see it, love, in his greater meaning, I mean unconditional love, is a sentiment, a feeling, we can call it a sensation, that raise within our being and moves towards the other.And, being born in ourself, that means that we

I thought about posting something about the usefulness of pain as ... I don't say that you can be happy continuously, 24 hours a day, that you won't suffer any more for the rest of your life... sometimes suffering is unavoidable and may be useful, for instance experiencing it, gives you understanding of other's people problems, and it gives you the possibility to better appreciate good times...

It's frequent, when things don't go the way we want, we tend to find the fault somewhere, some people, to feel better , blame others, some blame themselves. In either case there's no point in doing that.First, when things happens in a certain way it's a conjunction of several factors, so to figure out who's the fault, is difficult.... second, people often do their best, but sometimes fail,

How to become conscious

2009-05-11T14:42:00.000-07:00

The real way to become conscious of your thoughts is to watch them knowing they don't are Yourself, in fact they don't; mostly we become so involved in our thoughts that we believe they are ourselves.It is like when you go to the cinema and you become so involved in the movie that you feel emotional, you start to cry or laugh, it is frequent.The same, it happens with the movies playing in our

step n. 5, consciousness is the key

2009-05-07T00:35:00.000-07:00

The only way to master your mind, your thoughts and your feelings is to become conscious of them, otherwise it is like you live on automatic pilot, and they will run by themselves, on the basis of your conditionings.All the things we've been told ( or we've seen ) from our childhood, have been imprinted in our unconscious mind, but it isn't sure they are true or they're beneficial to us (eg. bad

I found a marvelous joke here.

how to free yourself from the sense of abandonment or the feeling of not being loved

2009-05-03T13:37:00.000-07:00

I found this technique on a Claudia Rainville book, (Metamedicine) I've tried it and can say it frees clogged emotions.It comes that, if in our childhood we've been abandoned or we've felt not loved, this very emotions can influence our adult behavior, or can create some illnesses, using this technique can relieve the situation.Find a calm place to rest undisturbed for a while, lie down or sit at

allowing ourselves what we want

2009-04-29T05:25:00.000-07:00

How is it possible that certain people obtain great things?Simply because they believe they can, and of course they intensely want it, and they go for it, and they persevere till they get it.How can somebody climb a mountain if he doesn't believe he can?First, he will never try.How can somebody achieve anything, if he never tries?and will somebody try something, if he doesn't think he can do it?

mudras

2009-04-27T05:36:00.000-07:00

today I was slightly down, it rained, the sky was dark, I tried to feel better with music, video, imagination, nothing worked....surfing the web I stumbled upon an explanation of mudras, mudras are ways you hold your fingers to obtain energetic effects, they're used in yoga, meditation, healing... there was one mudra that suited to my situation, it is shown above, it is called acceptance mudra...

N. 4 practice part two

2009-04-24T13:01:00.000-07:00

We've seen how to handle positive thoughts and emotions, now we learn how to manage negative ones. The trick is the same, may be this time it is better not to indulge in bad thinking, but to understand his characteristics. Well, close your eyes and think about a bad experience you had, how you visualize it, what are the main features, are you in third person, as if you see yourself having the

what cats are for, the pursuit of perfection and the sense of guilt.

2009-04-22T07:10:00.000-07:00

this reflection began one day I was looking through my window at a cat who was wandering in the yard...my God, cats are so lazy! what they do all day, but waiting for food, sleeping, playing, follow their curiosity, and wandering around?I realized that cats have no use ( except catching mouses ); ), yet they are on this earth and nobody blames them.Maybe you are wondering if I'm mad, who knows!

N. 3 let's practice!

2009-04-18T15:05:00.000-07:00

try this simple exercise to understand how thoughts influence the way we feel.If you want close your eyes, but you can do with your eyes open ( maybe you're accustomed with daydreaming ; ) ), relax, take some deep breath, now think a very beautiful experience you had.Note if you see it in color or black and white, if it is close to you or distant, the "picture" is big or small? is focused or not

Yes, there are ugly things in the world, but many beautiful ones too, let's decide where to focus our attention on :D

Can someone hurts you? (emotionally)

2009-04-16T15:46:00.000-07:00

Recently I discovered that no, nobody can hurt us. Only we do. It happens often, someone says something or does something and we feel treated bad, we feel a pain in our chest, if you look carefully at the situation you'll see that you are producing that pain. It's impossible for some words to penetrate our skin and flesh, and to produce a wound. Yes, yes I know how it hurts, but really that

Roy Martina's conference

2009-04-16T05:01:00.000-07:00

I found this free video tonight, ( I saw it till 2.30 am :D )I knew Mr Martina only by name, but I never read his books nor hear him talking.I liked him very much, I liked the irony, the fun attitude, and though I already knew what he was talking about I found a lot of interesting points and deepening.It's about unconscious mind, resisting changes, loving ourselves, happiness without a reason.The

worrying

2009-04-14T05:49:00.000-07:00

I was thinking and worrying about money, how to make it, how to pay all the bills, and then I read a statement on a blog, http://offbeatspirituality.blogspot.com/ : "they loose their health to make money & then loose their money to restore their health.By thinking anxiously about future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor for the future."Incredible timing, ok

step n. 2

2009-04-11T07:02:00.000-07:00

As usual I make it very simple, imagine ...your son, your loved one, somebody you care is due to arrive at a certain hour, he/she's late, ten minutes, half an hour, one hour, two hours, you begin to worry, what if an accident occurred, you start to make a film in your mind of the terrible things may happen, you become anxious, you feel a pain in your chest, everything become dark, heavy,

N. 1 let's make it simple

2009-04-03T08:24:00.000-07:00

First step, be aware that you create your happiness or your sorrow, it is not that they come from outside, it is only your mind that produces them. You certainly know that there are many people who have everything: money, success, a loved one, a family, and yet they' re desperate, they' re depressed, angry and so on... and

18 simple steps to happiness

2009-04-02T07:24:00.000-07:00

1 You, even if you don’t know, create your happiness, (or unhappiness ) so it’s better that you understand it quickly. 2 What you think ( the movies playing in your mind ) determines the way you feel. 3 If you think beautiful thoughts you feel good (oh my!) 4 If you think evil thoughts you feel bad (who'd ever said that?) 5 Be conscious of what you think (if you don’t, I’ll come there and hit
