In our lives, there is a space where we can build our freedom to choose if we want to passively surrender or actively act to grow.

Rilassamento consapevole

Guide pratiche per meditare

Siate nei confronti dei vostri pensieri quello che è un uccello in volo per la superficie ribollente di un mare burrascoso


Lo scopo principale della meditazione è quello di aiutarci ad essere più consapevoli e a sviluppare una maggiore presenza mentale in tutto quello che facciamo. Come abbiamo visto più volte, per fare questo occorre praticare con costanza, allenando la nostra mente a focalizzarsi, durante le sessioni, su particolari oggetti, interni o esterni. Facendo ciò, la mente si abitua a prestare attenzione ad ogni cosa con cui viene a contatto e impara a non abusare del pilota automatico nelle esperienze di tutti i giorni.

Tuttavia, avere sempre a che fare con un oggetto di meditazione può essere paradossalmente controproducente. Infatti, se quando meditiamo abituiamo la nostra mente a dirigere l’attenzione sempre e solo un qualcosa di più o meno concreto, rischiamo che essa non sia poi in grado…

Moms of Liberty are triggered by CRT and they want to ban MLK from schools? SERIOUSLY?!?

Ospreyshire's Realm

The video proper starts at 1:00

Just when I think some people in America couldn’t get any more idiotic with their bigotry, I stand corrected. So this right-wing group called the Moms of Liberty wants to ban Martin Luther King Jr. from the history books because it allegedly “traumatizes” white children. This is so stupid as well as heinous. These Karens as well as their token Asian and Indian crash test dummies want to stop talking about Civil Rights let alone the other parts of American history that expose how racist America was and still is.

Wow, for a group trying to be about America, they sure are using Nazi tactics of book-burning, don’t you think? People just can’t handle the uncomfortable truths about the rampant racism in this country. The concept of CRT has been such a hot debate over the past year. The arguments against it (the fact…

Recycling, what will happen to this glass jar? — Paul Noël — Barbara Crane Navarro

An item I posted in May 2020 and we’re still smashing glass for recycling rather than reversing the process of delivery from factory to household. How hard can it be? So here is a container that billions of us have access to. In this case it had palm oil free peanut butter in it. They […] […]

White Chocolate Lavender Berry Scones

snapshotsincursive

Eating My Way Through the Holidays. Festive Food Gifts: White Chocolate Lavender Berry Scones! Butter and Buttermilk, two main ingredients that lasso the moon. This is not your ordinary pastry. It’s not a doughnut. It’s not a muffin. It is a flavorful raised vessel for smearing on more butter. Granted, the American version may be filled with fresh fruit and chocolate chips, but hey, it’s all good. And since I was doing it my way, I went one step further and added a lavender glaze on top. There’s no way I’m going to be accused of making a dry-as-dust scone. I’m living with a man who conjures up that image whenever he hears the word “scone”. I believe for now, I’m okay with him thinking that way. More for me!

WHITE CHOCOLATE LAVENDER BERRY SCONES

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
