“se você quiser verdadeiramente compreender algo, tente mudá-lo”  -  Kurt Lewin

criticar é infinitamente mais fácil do que fazer…

não há experiência mais profunda do que a tentativa de mudar algo…

isto porque quando algo se estrutura de uma forma há sempre uma razão para isto, e a razão não é um acaso ou irrelevante, muito pelo contrário…

quem muda ou tenta mudar precisa ser um profundo conhecedor da matéria…

Mensagem Raja Yoga

quando vivemos com bom-humor, quando somos mais criativos e menos preocupados com nós mesmos, somos mais sensíveis às necessidades imediatas daqueles que nos rodeiam…

mas como pai eu posso também ser um amigo, conselheiro, facilitador, companheiro, guia ou professor…

a necessidade do meu filho naquele momento indicará qual o papel que eu deveria desempenhar…

Quando temos um encontro com uma pessoa especial,
Escolhemos a roupa mais adequada,nos olhamos no espelho,
Arrumamos o cabelo, colocamos o perfume predileto.

Para ter um encontro com Deus, o Incorpóreo,
Simplesmente lembre-se das virtudes que você mais aprecia em você.

Aprofunde-se nelas, vista-se com elas.

Então leve sua consciência à Ele
E experimente a companhia da personalidade divina.

São as similaridades entre você e Ele
Que irão exercer a força de atração.

Uma semana,
Com muita Paz,
e a certeza de
DEUS presente,
em tudo que fizeres.

Managing Anger Anger varies in intensity, ranging from mild irritation to violent rage. Whether expressed or suppressed. it makes you sick! The problem with getting angry is that there is only a slim chance that it might solve the problem, but a much greater chance that it’ll create new ones. Understanding anger is realising that anger can be a by-product of our own unfulfilled expectations, our way of thinking, rather than the other person or event. Managing Anger is about understanding and recognising anger. It’s about controlling your internal responses, calming yourself down and letting the feelings of anger subside. Remember, anger is only 1 letter away from danger!

Sister Jayanti, Europees Directeur Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University

SoulPower georganiseerd door Brahma Kumaris

Pim van Lommel, auteur Eindeloos bewustzijn

Precies een week geleden was ik op de middag bijeenkomst Soulpower in Amersfoort. Tanja Jadnanansing presenteerde de middag. Ze deed dit werkelijk geweldig. (Je ziet haar op de 2e foto) Ze praatte alles aan elkaar vast, goede timing en zeer respectvol en persoonlijk in haar interactie met mensen op het podium en het publiek. De middag was heel gevarieerd, met veel muziek, dans en mooie gesprekken op het podium. Na de paar uur in Theater de Flint waar het werd gehouden, was ik opgeladen. Over positieve energie gesproken!

Sister Jayanti sprak over innerlijke kracht. Waar vind je deze innelijke kracht? Hoe zorg je ervoor dat je hier dagelijks uit kunt putten? En, hoe zet je jouw innerlijke kracht om in acties?
De antwoorden op deze vragen waren:
- Innerlijke kracht vind je in jezelf; om precies te zijn, tussen je ogen bevindt zich jouw ziel
- Mediteer elke ochtend
- Neem een moment stilte en ga naar binnen toe, luister en breng het in de praktijk

Haar rustige en tegelijkertijd energieke stem kwam met vele mooie verhalen. Verhalen over daadkrachtige acties van mensen die bij hun innerlijke kracht kunnen komen en het vervolgens omzetten in acties. Ze sprak bijvoorbeeld over een man ten tijde van het gebeuren van 9/11 die zich in het gebouw bevond. Er werd omgeroepen dat de mensen op de afdeling moesten blijven. Hij nam een moment stilte, ging bij zijn innerlijke kracht te rade en het antwoord dat naar boven kwam was: verlaat het gebouw! Z’on 70 mensen gingen met hem mee. Op het moment dat ze de ingang van het gebouw hadden behaald, stortte het gebouw in. Hij leidde hen naar de dichtstbijzijnde Brahma Kumaris vestiging en daar konden de mensen een kop thee drinken en zich laten kalmeren. Prachtig om dit verhaal te horen!

Het was ook mooi om Pim van Lommel te horen spreken. Ik ga zijn boek ‘Eindeloos bewustzijn’ zeker binnenkort lezen. Pim van Lommel heeft een boek geschreven over mensen die bijna-dood ervaringen hebben meegemaakt. Op basis van deze gesprekken en zijn onderzoek gelooft hij dat er veel meer is dan het leven dat we op aarde leiden.

Talvez o maior segredo em aprender a relaxar
está em sustentar, nas nossas vidas ativas,
a arte da tranquilidade praticada no tempo livre.
Isto porque nossa atenção tende a focar-se nos sinais
que os outros transmitem para nós.
Se alguém no trabalho começar a criticar você,
ao invés de refletir este sentimento negativo de volta,
procure transmitir energia positiva em direção a ele,
e então dilua qualquer situação potencialmente desconfortável.

From The Washington Times:

(This article isn’t about Nepal, but I have a research interest in the Brahma Kumaris, so I think it works okay here).

Typically, you visit museums to learn about the world outside of the self: the pyramids of Giza or the art of Henri Matisse, for example.

Not so with the recently opened Meditation Museum in Silver Spring, whose aim is for visitors to learn about the inner self.

“Right now we’re showcasing art by Marie Binder, and on the right side of the artwork we pose questions to the visitors that invite them to reflect on themselves,” says Jenna Mahraj, known as Sister Jenna, director of the museum. The venue is run by the Brahma Kumaris, a spiritual movement founded in India.

Sister Jenna, who also is the local director of Brahma Kumaris, says the free museum has received 700 unique visitors of all religious and ideological backgrounds since opening in mid-July.

“We’ve had a very positive response,” she says. “Mostly people say that the minute they walk in it’s a different world.”

That world currently is inhabited by an exhibit called “The Confluence Age,” comprising reflective messages and questions as well as the artwork by Ms. Binder, which is dreamy and flowing and portrays globes, paths to heaven and fantasy landscapes.

Through the museum’s speakers flow quiet New Age music.

Next to one of Ms. Binder’s pieces is this thoughtful question: “When we are full of powers inside our beings we feel experienced and in charge of our lives. When we lack inner power we are influenced by everything outside of us. How will that make you feel?”

The exhibits will rotate; the next theme and artist are planned for later this fall. The museum also offers evening workshops, lectures and classes.

After viewing the exhibit, visitors are invited to spend some time – 10 minutes or so – in the Quiet Room, a tiny, sparsely furnished white-walled space. Among the directions for entry: Leave behind ordinary thoughts, imagine yourself entering into a pure and innocent space in your mind, breathe and create peaceful, positive thoughts.

Explains Sister Jenna, “First you reflect and observe your thoughts in silence. And then you redirect the thoughts that are not healthy.”

This can help improve the quality of thinking, she says, and as the thinking becomes increasingly positive, the whole sense of self improves.

“It’s a way to take charge of your own life,” she suggests, adding that meditation is not “hocus-pocus” but a practical life skill.

The first step, though, is silence.

“Silence is the absence of negative and wasteful thinking,” she says. “And it allows you to go beyond the limited concept you hold for yourself, giving you a glimpse of the you that is larger than that.”

If you consider the gifts you have received in life to be given in trust, you will have great value for them and will use them wisely and generously.

I would highly recommend this talk to anyone. I’ll be there.

Intuition In Action

 The Secret To Understanding

Have you ever had a hunch that something was about to  happen and to your surprise, it did? 

Have you ever had ‘gut feelings’, a strong sense of ‘knowing’ that something was true without a specific reason but you ended up
being right?  That’s your intuition. 
  

No matter what it’s called, intuition plays a part in our lives everyday.  Your intuition ‘knows’ what you need and what to do.
  
Every single one of us has this inner resource, but most of us are cut off from listening to this inner guide.
 
Discover how to:
access your intuition, feel, hear and see intuitively
Follow your gut feeling with more confidence:
‘understand’ yourself and other people more accurately
develop it further for practical use in your everyday life and have fun  with it!

Date: 20/09/2009   4.30pm – 6.00pm
Venue:  The Urdang, The Old Finsbury Town Hall, Roseberry Avenue, Clerkenwell, London EC1R 4RP

I’ll probably be at this one. It’s funny because I was thinking about honour today and what it really means. I’ll write a summary of the talk soon after. If you do go, please make a donation of whatever amount you can so that this great organisation can continue their work and help more people in need. Thanks.

The Gift Of Peace is a small book published by the Brahma Kumaris that will cost you £2.00. The book was written by on of the long serving students and teacher of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University just after he visited New York 3 weeks after September 11th 2001. It is a fantastic collection of thoughts, sayings and advice on how to be peaceful and happy.

Here is one excerpt that hit home for me:

Circumstances are like objects. They are not alive; you bring life to them.

The positive is more powerful than the negative. The positive is innate. The negative indicates what is missing inside you. Light exists and its absence is darkness.

Never forget you are a human being who can decide the attitude you take in life.

You have an enourmous positive inner potential still to be discovered. these thoughts will help you face any circumstance in life with a different perspective.  

This resonates a lot of truth for me when I sit back and think about it.

As ever from the Brahma Kumaris. My first thought was Wow.
When someone has a habit of causing sorrow they are under an influence, let your attitude be merciful and don’t allow yourself to take that sorrow on.

Se um dia alguém fizer com que
se quebre a visão bonita que você
tem de si, com muita paciência
e amor reconstrua-a.
Assim como o artesão recupera a sua
peça mais valiosa que caiu no chão,
sem duvidar de que aquela é
a tarefa mais importante.
Você é a sua criação mais valiosa.
Não olhe para trás.
Não olhe para os lados.
Olhe somente para dentro,
para bem dentro de você e faça
dali o seu lugar de descanso,
conforto e recomposição.
Crie este universo agradável para si.
O mundo agradecerá o seu trabalho.

When you build a charachter, ever thought counts.

Take care of yourself with understanding and love, and make sure that you never compromise your own spiritual growth.
