13/08/2009  THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: RELATIONSHIPS NOT WORKING? Whenever relationships are not working , whenever they bring out the "madness" in you and your partner be glad. What was unconscious is being brought up to the light.It is an opportunity for salvation.Every moment, hold the knowing of that moment,particularly of your inner state. If there is anger know that there is anger. If there is jealousy, defensiveness, the urge to argue, the need to be right , an inner child demanding love and attention, or emotional pain of any kind-whatever it is, know the reality of that moment and hold the knowing. The relationship then becomes your spiritual practice. If you observe unconscious behavior in your partner , hold it in the loving embrace of your knowing so that you won't react. Unconsciousness and knowing cannot exist for long-even ...Leggi tutto by Positano News

28/04/2009  THOUGHT OF THE WEEK Honoring The Present Moment   As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out of present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care and love-even the most simple action. So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord. This is a powerful spiritual practice. In The Bhagavad Gita, one of the oldest and most beautiful spiritual teachings in existence, non-attachment to the fruit of your action is called Karma Yoga. It is described as the "path of consecrated action". When the compulsive striving away from the NOW ceases, the joy of Being flows into everything you do. The moment your attention ...Leggi tutto by Positano News

The Go Slow movement is coming to the capital. This month a ten-day festival, Slow Down London , will offer residents a rare opportunity: the chance to relax and take stock. From strolling across the Thames to meditation classes to workshops on timekeeping, the campaign aims to show people how to “live life in real time”.

07/02/2008  PENSIERO DELLA SETTIMANA    Love, joy and peace are deep states of being or rather three aspects of the state of inner connectedness with Being. As such they have no opposite. This is because they arise from beyond the mind. Emotions , on the other hand,being part of the dualistic mind, are subject to the law of opposites.  This simply means that you cannot have good without bad. So in the unenlightened , mind-identified condition, what is sometimes wrongly called joy is the usually short lived pleasure side of the continuously alternating pain -pleasure cycle. Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy is derived from within. The  very thing that gives you pleasure today will give you pain tomorrow,or it will leave you, so its absence will give ...Leggi tutto by Positano News
