Meditare con la visualizzazione avanzata

Guide pratiche per meditare

Le immagini evocate sono indistinguibili da quelle osservate; portano la stessa pace e la stessa calma.


Tra le varie tecniche che abbiamo visto negli articoli precedenti quella della visualizzazione è sicuramente tra le più versatili. Si presta molto bene ad essere adattata alle nostre esigenze, piegandosi facilmente a ciò di cui abbiamo bisogno in un dato momento. Possiamo visualizzare un ambiente tranquillo e familiare, o in un ambiente solido e nuovo da cui trarre beneficio. Oppure possiamo proiettarci in uno spazio incorporeo, alla ricerca di un profondissimo livello di concentrazione e raccoglimento.

Nell’articolo di oggi vedremo un esempio di meditazione guidata, in cui useremo la tecnica della visualizzazione avanzata. Poiché risulta facile declinarla nel modo che più ci si addice, oggi ne vedremo una versione meno “completa”, ma non per questo meno efficace. La utilizzeremo come tecnica di rilassamento, ma senza addentrarci fino…

Sweet Potato Stacks

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Equal Measures: Sweet Potato Stacks! Bring gourmet taste, with a quirk of presentation, to the dinner table tonight. It’s not rocket science. In fact, you may find yourself giggling at how ridiculously simple this is to make. When I pierced each stack with a rosemary sprig, my husband nearly fell out of his chair in amusement. (It’s not at all necessary. The sweet potato stacks stand upright on their own.) Roasted in a muffin tin, and drizzled with pure maple syrup are two trade secrets you can share with others. Or keep to yourself. Either way, it’s a tower of Yum.

SWEET POTATO STACKS

3 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced

1 tablespoon rosemary leaves

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

There are no real climate leaders yet – who will step up at Cop26? | Greta Thunberg | The Guardian

Because science doesn’t lie. The facts are crystal clear, but we just refuse to accept them. We refuse to acknowledge that we now have to choose between saving the living planet or saving our unsustainable way of life. Because we want both. We demand both.

But the undeniable truth is that we have left it too late for that. And no matter how uncomfortable that reality may seem, this is exactly what our leaders have chosen for us with their decades of inaction. Their decades of blah, blah, blah.

Science doesn’t lie. If we are to stay below the targets set in the 2015 Paris agreement – and thereby minimise the risks of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control – we need immediate, drastic, annual emission reductions unlike anything the world has ever seen. And since we don’t have the technological solutions which alone will do anything close to that in the foreseeable future, it means we have to make fundamental changes to our society.

We are currently on track for at least a 2.7C hotter world by the end of the century – and that’s only if countries meet all the pledges that they have made. Currently they are nowhere near doing that. We are “seemingly light years away from reaching our climate action targets”, to once again quote Guterres.

HAS GAIA GOT ALZHEIMER’S? ARE WE IT? #humanity #adaptation #climatecatastrophe — Lordan’s Lit

Barbara Crane Navarro

Life began on Earth about 3.4 billion years ago. That’s older than we can really take in. We can describe this length of time, we can write it out & tote it up, but we can’t really comprehend it. This is one of the signs of the mismatch between individual human consciousness and the vast[…]

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom’s Call page 34, and Coffee Coops?

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

It is crucial that we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us today, and to come and work together, for all of us, right?

I believe that attention to shared histories, as in DC, may provide part of an answer. I started a note about that, a few years ago, in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

” … Chapter 5: Current Efforts In DC Black-Jewish Community Cooperation

“TI Sells Coffee | Ugandan Jewish, Christian, Muslim Cooperative” -Tifereth Israel Social Action Committee website

Tifereth Israel congregation (TI) continues to be known for its strong commitment to social justice and to working with the Shepherd Park community. TI, which has perhaps the largest number of multiracial Jewish members of any area synagogue apart from Temple Beth Emet, also hosts a number of Black church groups in the building…

Mudança

Vivaldi translation of title: Change

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Se você deseja obter resultados diferentes, mude. Caso contrário, além de não resolver o que precisa, você ainda vai chorar nas ” janelas dos outros ” depois de descobrir que a sua inundou.

Nada pode contráriar mais o ser humano do que viver entre conflitos. Ele acostuma com esse tipo de situação. Muitas pessoas nutrem inclusive, uma falsa crença de ” milagres acontecem “. Gente, isso é um pensamento ingênuo. Só para você ter uma ideia, nem os santos viraram santos, se como pessoas, não fossem capazes de fazer as suas boas ações. Nós precisamos ser mais racionais, temos que dirimir imagens mentais de ternura sobre o que precisa sr mudado, em pensamentos lúcidos, racionais, compreendem? Claro, algumas situações sim, se diz que ” coisas” acontecem por alguma razão que desconhecemos, os cosmos agem a nosso favor. Porém, na maior parte do tempo, as nossas crenças precisam ser lapidadas, a…
