Into the within

Those who grow up too fast play out their childish dramas late into their life.

When we are in a lot of pain or in the midst of a great challenge we sometimes make promises to ourselves or to a Higher power. It is important to honor those promises.

They may or may not admit it, or even realize it, but those who are not happy with their relationships are actually not happy with themselves.

The greatest transformation is when we are no longer seeking transformation.

In the beginning one is fascinated by good answers. Later on one is more interested in good questions. Eventually all one knows is nothing at all. Empty, foolish, free.

Feel your pain, don't feed your pain.

On the journey from mindless to mindful: Some people seek mind-blowing experiences. Some people seek mind-growing experiences. Some people seek mind-bowing experiences. Some people seek mind-glowing experiences. Some have stopped seeking altogether. For them the ordinary mind is the buddha-mind.

If you are bored by what you have to share, then others are bored by what you have to share. If you are obsessed with what you have to share, others are still bored by what you have to share. When you are genuinely interested in the other and what they have to say, then others tend to also be genuinely interested in you and what you have to say.

Quit trying to return to former glory. Quit living in hopes of future glory. There is nothing as glorious as living in the now with a heart full of appreciative joy.

Encourage small changes everyday as leaping stones - it is way more beneficial than waiting for a change which usually turns out to be a real deal kick which doesn't really give You the chance to conduct the change as you really wish and need - it is becoming some of an ailing issue which You need to "repair" - but isn't it something that you don't really need - You don't want to repair anything - You want to enjoy your life aren't you now?

If we really make an effort to be present, to live in the now, to keep returning to the now, over 90% of our problems will fade away. Whatever is remaining will dissolve with a heart full of love, laughter and gratitude. And our spontaneous joyful actions constantly spread the seeds of this happiness in boundless, inconceivable ways. Now there is delight and no more reason to fight. Everything is very bright.

Usiądź wygodnie tak jak jest Ci najlepiej, tak byś mogła swobodnie oprzeć się plecami. Postaraj się zrelaksować, pomyśleć o czymś co sprawia Ci radość lub spokój. Wybierz jedną rzecz i po prostu skup się na niej. Postaraj się też, żeby przez przynajmniej pół godziny nikt i nic Ci nie przeszkadzało. Oddychaj powoli i głęboko Postaraj się oddychać brzuchem, nie tylko szczytem płuc Jeśli zauważysz, że drętwieją Ci stopy lub ramiona rozetrzyj je energicznie Powoli oddychaj dalej Postaraj sobie wyobrazić samą siebie w tym miejscu gdzie jesteś Pomyśl, ze to miejsce jest jak wyspa, odosobniona od czasu i przestrzeni Ty jesteś tym miejscem Ono jest Tobą Czujesz się w nim bezpiecznie I nikt oprócz Ciebie nie ma dostępu do tego co się w nim dzieje To miejsce zawsze zasila Cię w siłę, chęć i motywację do tego by działać mądrze Wyobraź sobie coś co zawsze lubisz jeść To jedzenie zawsze na Ciebie czeka tam Odczuj to, skup się na smaku, przypomnij sobie ten smak Skup się na spokoju i ciszy, która

All solutions come from deep inside our spirit. once all contradictions are removed, the solutions naturally emerge.

Desires arise out of an inner sense of lack. And so following them does not lead to fulfilment until the sense of lack itself is healed.

We are not poor. We do not lack anything. The only thing we lack is the knowledge that we have no lack. Resources seem limited before the eyes. However before the mind there is no limit to resources. The mind has the ability to make the most of all resources.

Exercise 1: The Stimulating Breath (also called the Bellows Breath) The Stimulating Breath is adapted from a yogic breathing technique. Its aim is to raise vital energy and increase alertness.  Inhale and exhale rapidly through your nose, keeping your mouth closed but relaxed. Your breaths in and out should be equal in duration, but as short as possible. This is a noisy breathing exercise.  Try for three in-and-out breath cycles per second. This produces a quick movement of the diaphragm, suggesting a bellows. Breathe normally after each cycle.  Do not do for more than 15 seconds on your first try. Each time you practice the Stimulating Breath, you can increase your time by five seconds or so, until you reach a full minute. If done properly, you may feel invigorated, comparable to the heightened awareness you feel after a good workout. You should feel the effort at the back of the neck, the diaphragm, the chest and the abdomen. Try this breathing exercise the next time you need an e

DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES Breathing Awareness and Deep Breathing 1. Lie down or sit in a comfortable chair, maintaining good posture. Your body should be as relaxed as possible. Close your eyes. Scan your body for tension. 2. Pay attention to your breathing. Place one hand on the part of your chest or abdomen that seems to rise and fall the most with each breath. If this spot is in your chest you are not utilizing the lower part of your lungs. 3. Place both hands on your abdomen and follow your breathing, noticing how your abdomen rises and falls. 4. Breathe through your nose. 5. Notice if your chest is moving in harmony with your abdomen. 6. Now place one hand on your abdomen and one on your chest. 7. Inhale deeply and slowly through your nose into your abdomen. You should feel your abdomen rise with this inhalation and your chest should move only a little. 8. Exhale through your mouth, keeping your mouth, tongue, and jaw relaxed. 9. Relax as you focus on the sound and feeling of

Each of these exercises offered here is to help you relax. You may very well feel more comfortable physically as anxiety and tension decrease. (The guided imagery exercises presented in another section may also increase your comfort directly through suggestions.) Practice brings the best results! There are several ways to use these exercises: • read through the exercise and then do it from memory – it doesn’t have to be done exactly as I’ve written here • record the exercise and play it back for yourself to do • have someone read the exercise to you If you record the exercise or have someone read it to you, also try to eventually be able to do it on your own. This lets you do it anytime and anywhere – a great skill to have in your back pocket! Breathing Exercise 1 Several breathing exercises are presented, all focusing on breathing patterns and on imagining that healing is occurring with breathing. These can be practiced at any time, with your eyes open or shut, for a short or longe

Breathing as a bridge It is thought by many cultures that the process of breathing is the essence of being. A rhythmic process of expansion and contraction, breathing is one example of the consistent polarity we see in nature such as night and day, wake and sleep, seasonal growth and decay and ultimately life and death. In yoga, the breath is known as prana or a universal energy that can be used to find a balance between the body-mind, the conscoius-unconscoius, and the sympathetic-parasympathetic nervous system. Unlike other bodily functions, the breath is easily used to communicate between these systems, which gives us an excellent tool to help facilitate positive change. It is the only bodily function that we do both voluntarily and involuntarily. We can consciously use breathing to influence the involuntary (sympathetic nervous system) that regulates blood pressure, heart rate, circulation, digestion and many other bodily functions. Pranayama is a yoga practice that literally means

Decide you are good looking as you are, and you are. Decide you are more good looking than others, and you are not. Acceptance awakens your beauty. Comparison corrupts it.

There will come a point in your life when suddenly everything makes sense, and there are only tears of gratitude. It will come sooner if you invite it. It can be today if you intend it. It can be now if you see your life through the eyes of Source.

Write a letter of gratitude to every person with whom you had an intimate relationship at any point in your life. It could even just be a few lines each and you don't necessarily have to give it to them. It will deeply heal your inner being.

Most of us suspect we are wrong sometimes, but we don't like being told so. Change the game: It's great to be wrong. The one who makes the most mistakes wins!

hej! wyobraź sobie, ze jesteś czystym polem, jest dużo światła, łąka, mogą być na niej krowy, jest tez miejsce gdzie czujesz się bardzo dobrze. To może być szopa, albo jakaś jaskinia. Zadbaj o to by było w tym pomieszczeniu dużo Światła. To Twój azyl, wewnętrzny, zawsze kiedy idziesz spać zawsze tam trafiasz, zawsze kiedy źle się czujesz zawsze tam trafiasz... Idź tą łąką, dotykaj trawy, wąchaj kwiaty..poczuj słońce poczuj miłość do tej osoby, to co jest w Tobie zadaj sobie co jest dla Ciebie miłością to co chcesz tej osobie zrobić? co chcesz dla niej zrobić? jak umieścisz ją w swoim życiu? tym codziennym? co mógłbyś poświęcić dla niej? jak mógłbyś sprawić, ze ona czuła by się szczęśliwa? zapytaj siebie ile miłości możesz jej dać, ile miłości w sobie masz do tego co robisz, do tego co spotykasz, do ludzi których spotykasz, do tych, którzy są spełnieniem Twojej miłości- Twoich dzieci na ile kochasz siebie? zadaj sobie pytanie: czy to, że kogoś kocham oznacza że mogę ta osobę zamknąć w s

The depth of the sharing is perfectly correlated with the intensity of the asking.

In truth you don't go anywhere. Life swirls around you in many guises, many hues. Be the witness. Be.

Many many limiting assumptions are encoded in popular new media. Only the truly wise can see through all of them. Better to limit or keep away from it as far as possible. Or at least spend an equal amount of time studying wisdom teachings.

Enough of believing you are a mortal human being already. Time to un-mortalize yourself.

Your past is just a story. It can be changed at anytime. Why not make it a powerful, inspiring and empowering one?

If you truly love and accept your sense of humor, everyone else also loves and accepts your sense of humor

Meditating in the morning is like putting on a vacuum cleaning robot. As you go about your work, it diligently keeps moving around and cleaning your home all day, and awareness keeps cleaning the heart and mind all day.

Sometimes, to immediately say "How beautiful!" takes away from fully and completely experiencing the moment of beauty. Everything needn't always be labelled and tagged

Everyone has a good heart, or they wouldn't be alive. There are no bad people, just unskillful thoughts, words and actions. And those can change any minute. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

There are no impure parts of the body. It's all sacred, all just naturally so. Love and accept every part of your body. Tell it, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you."

The real miracle is walking on earth with awareness.

Make a list of a hundred things you want to do before you die. Include several wacky and seemingly improbable things. You will look back at this list in a few years and be very amazed how many came true for you. We are magnificent creators.

The fastest way is grateful patience. Gratitude gets us un-stuck. Patience makes the universe bend backwards.

Only the most appropriate thing is happening each moment.

Meet peoples eyes and smile. Takes a moment to create a friendlier world.

Breath in the suffering you perceive in the world, breathe out complete relief.

Extroverts have a head start for outer accomplishment. Introverts have a head start for inner awakening. In this way the universe balances itself. You come to point where you love being with people and you also cherish being alone. There is only oneness and fun-ness everywhere.

Whatever you find "unacceptable" is the next thing for you to love and accept exactly as it is. Only then will the portals of real change and transformation become visible to you, accessible to you. Before this there is only struggle, after this you are no longer a muggle!

The differences between men and women are mostly imagined. We are are all perfectly aligned and complementary to each other. All of us will benefit from reducing our attachment to gender stereotypes. Children playing harmoniously together on playship earth.
