cum vine iarna.. parca o forta de atrage in tine.. in centrul tau.. si-ti limiteaza cuvintele expresile exterioare, eficientizand consumul de energie, cu o comunicare interna, ca si cum te-ai focaliza mai mult pe caldura, pe Soarele care se afla in tine..

atentia asta te face sa te recunosti printre sentimente, emotii, iti atinge o anumita sensiblitate, pentru altii poate o vulnerabilitate.. comercializata sub numele de “emotiile de sarbatori”..

suntem mai buni de sarbatori, mai umani? nu, pur si simplu raspundem si reactionam dintr-un centru mai natural noua, din suflet, inima.. in compania unor atribute precum dragostea, compasiune, altruism, devotare si acceptarea expresiei, actiunii divine.. pe scurt Anahata (chakra inimii)..

Ceva mai subtil si mai jos putin decat Anahata, in partea stanga, o chakra micuta numita Hrit (sau Hridaya, “inima”) care pe langa alte elemente simbolistice, centrat are un copacel rosu de dorinte implinitor (red wish-fulfilling tree) simbolizand manifestarea, implinirea dorintelor (in lume)..

Hrit cakra mai poarta denumirea si de Surya (Soare) chakra cu scopul de a absorbi energia Soarelui de a o transmite catre corp si catre alte chakra (in principiu manipura pentru agni)

cat de intamplatoare sunt aceste coincidente? 

Sarbatoriri cat mai prezente ale vietii!

Some days i just talk from my mountain trekking experience, moments when i was fighting against gods, when there was so much mind over the body that i was on the edge of loosing the other parts of this earthly presence, the body and the spirit. That i was shaking on last part of my conquest, that being so present in the mind i didn’t realize i wouldn’t had the body to return.. and because of the high goal and of the visible finish line, the ego was so big that left no other place for my spirit… so i had a divine intervention.. and for the next 2 mins i was present in my body… a balanced presence as i would say today..

so is mind over body some goal that we want to achieve? NO – why?  – because itself its an imbalance..

what is this term mindfulness all about? if you understand this mind-full as Jay E. Fields, “The problem with mindfulness is that it’s full of mind.”.. or being fully present on the mind.. then again.. this is also an imbalance..

“I can sit on my mediation cushion for hours – being mindful – and never really have a full, felt-experience of being in my body.”

Is this term born under the same (western) reason, to give power to the though, to the ego? something that in yoga is worthless.. or do you have other understanding of it?

To be or not to be mindful?

I am new to this Spiritual World, what Guru should I follow?

yesterday I had the opportunity to share again about bahiranga yoga at work, between my engineering colleagues.. then after some moments, while at my desk, I receive a private message on a context of recommending some event, training, workshop about inner awakening.. the link I received was pointing me to something familiar enough to “press” a like or unlike “button”.. but that was my perception and immediately realizing that I had one of those moments we like to call divine intervention:

This part of Spirituality is like wine tasting… if you are new into drinking wine.. maybe you even don’t like the wine or you barely know it has different colors and maybe different taste.. you might notice on the label a year, some alcohol % some place where from its coming.. but there are some many other aspects, subtler and subtler  that even you will eventually understand and make a better difference.. So the difference between a guru and another or which one will be best for me needs some personal investment, a background, a base into the spiritual path and after either you find “love at first site” either you are in for some fine tasting..

Today I proposed that we know 2 mantras by the end of January, so one quickly investigated over the proposed one and asked me over a message: 

– when you say guru .. during the mantras.. at who you think?

I understood the question behind the Guru Mantra, but many don’t know even what the word guru stands for, so to answer without  going too far I said:

– I don’t think at anyone. I think on what guru is / means.. but if you are looking for “one of my teachers”.. actually I have many.. everyone who taught me something was my teacher. Some lessons I might realize sooner or later.. but in the end.. my Guru is my Self.. because Yoga is the journey between what I false-believe that I am and what is my Self.. so I allow my Higher Self to reveal to my, surrendering to the Self I start listening to the guru inside me..

There are traditional books pointing to a guru or to a teacher’s assistance when you start some yogic techniques, but this mostly to have an experienced or devoted practitioner close.

“si stii.. a fost prin Peru si prin Africa… si … … … si America de Sud..” si tot felul.. de discutii alimentate cu astfel de informatii survolau pe langa urechile mele, incat ma intrebam daca am aterizat la vreun agent de tursim si suntem si in secolul 16-17.. serios? ce legatura are toata calatoria asta cu meditatia? sau cine sunt si ce cauta persoanele astea din jului meu? care au mai discutat despre tot felul de programe de X zile si schimbari in alte persoane dar nu in ele insasi?

dupa cum cei mai apropiati stiu, nu ma inspira, nu ma intereseaza ci dimpotriva nu recomand astfel de experimente ca si mediatie ghidata.. din mai multe motive, insa mai ales expunerea unor astfel de idei intr-un public (cu cat mai mare cu atat mai iresponsabil) poate duce usor la generarea de proiectii, false impresii, asteptari, iluzii, etc pe care apoi avem cel putin de 5 ori mai mult de lucru in a le curata pentru a intelege personal, neindus ci prin autodescoperire, intuitie, revelatie, etc ce inseamna meditatia… [..] anyway…

daca m-as trezi sa port o discutie despre aceste idei, cu persoana care o conduce, inainte sau dupa, ma intreb daca nu as fi inteles gresit si produce fluctuatii in mintea unora, aproape violente.. iar in aceasta forma interventia mea ar putea sa calce ideea de ahimsa.. desi, recunosc, uneori am astfel de auto-propuneri cand ma intalnesc cu aceste momente..

Nu o sa discut despre ce inseamna meditatia, nici despre public sau evenimentul in sine.. ci doar cateva cuvinte ce sa sumarizeze motivul pentru care mai apar si eu prezent..

Eu recunosc ca divinitatea traieste si comunica mai usor prin anumite persoane decat altele, nu este ceva nou, ceva exotic, ceva ce nu ar putea orcine trai prin el insusi.. insa sunt momente cand ma predau unor alte palete de culori, cand sunt un student si imi regasesc un teacher, un alt canal prin care sa mi se vorbeasca.. Si chiar daca sunt aceleasi cuvinte, sau aceiasi persoana.. cel putin eu sunt diferit si atunci manifestarea, intelegerea este alta..

Imi ofer momente, locuri, in care sa ma intalnesc cu mine insumi (with my Self).. ar fi cea mai scurta descriere a unui workshop de meditatie..

Tu de ce vi la u astfel de eveniment? pentru ca Discovery Channel?

vise placute… namaste!..
