“Cunoaste-te pe tine insuti”
“Cunoaste-te pe tine insuti” este un indemn vechi, atribuit lui Socrate, insa sensul sau capata o nuanta cu totul diferita in perspectiva Budismului Theravada. Din perspectiva asta, ideea de “mine insami” nu se refera la un sine fix, stabil, esential – ci tocmai la lipsa unui astfel de sine. In loc sa fie o cautare…
Continui sa recunosc dualitatea si sa o accept
De multe ori imi place sa vorbesc despre nimic si in acelasi timp despre toate. Descopar in ultimii 18 ani ca e mai bine sa tac si sa ascult spre interior. De aia si site-ul asta e… asa cum e. 🙂Mai intotdeauna gasesc ideologii pentru actiunile mele imorale, sau ale celor dragi si tratez faptele…
Momente: curg cu onestitate si compasiune
Sunt momente, precum cel de acum, cand ma simt pierduta… E atat de mult in interior, vad multe parti ale mele. Si lacrimile curg. Curg… si tot ce pot sa fac e sa beau un ceai, sa ii simt caldura pe buze, limba, faringe, esofag… Si sa ies afara sa imi las pielea fetei si…
Intentia… unei Fiinte de afara
Aleg sa pasesc pe Cale, pe aternutul moale al padurii sau pe asfaltul tare al drumului pavat, intelegand ca orice aleg este potrivit pentru a Fi (eu) in aceasta lume. Primesc tot ce apare pe Cale, fie ca-i con, fie brad. E nevoie sa iau distanta pentru a putea vedea unele lucruri in deplinatatea lor.…
Nu stiu marketing… si dansand cu Isus
– Nu ma pricep la marketing! – Tot mai crezi ca e nevoie de marketing pentru a face Iubirea vizibila?!… e alegerea ta ce crezi. – Dar uite: toti fac chestii pe Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Google etc.! Innebunesc daca ma gandesc la toate si la cata energie ar fi nevoie ca sa fiu peste…
Azi – impreuna cu bucurie, pentru încă 10 ani
Acum cateva minute am platit domeniul iulia-sara.ro pentru inca 10 ani. Cand am vazut mesajul de expirare de la registrar m-am gandit ca o sa-l prelungesc, normal. Ma intrebam ”Pe ce perioada sa prelungesc?”. Inima a simtit intr-o nano-secunda – ”10 ani”. Stiu cand vine din Interior pentru realizez dupa ca nu eu am ”zis”!…
Sunteti niste ingeri, cu totii! :))
Azi si momente din zilele trecute am fost “la fund” iar… mind fucking around… Iar apoi am primit mesajul asta, pe messenger, de la o “necunoscuta”, G. N.: Buna ziua Sara, Iti scriu doar sa iti multumesc! Nu ne cunostem insa, acum multi ani, am gasit blogul vostru: “bhudeva”. Nu mai gasesc exact articolul respectiv…
Meditatia Metta
Te invit sa stai 5 minute cu tine si cu gandurile de iubire si compasiune. “Metta” inseamna benevolenta (mettā bhāvanā), bunatate, pritenie, buna intentie si interes fata de celelalte fiinte. Este una dintre cele 10 calitati (paramis) pe care le cultiva filozifia budhista Theravada. Inchide ochii si… Inspirata de calugarul Thanissaro si de profesorii…
ACROSTIH – “OH-poveste de seara”
Today was Poetry day, I to end it by celebrating it… It came in Romanian, here it is 🙂 – an alpha poem, in Romanian is called acrostih. “OH-poveste de seara” – Opreste, Doamne, timpul! – Hai, uite, l-am oprit! 🙂 Poate acum… Oare e de ajuns?! Vezi…!? Simti…?! Intelegi…?! STOP! STAI!…
emotional vitality
the very things that we require to stay emotionally vital: community, ritual, nature, compassion, reflection, beauty and love. nature – checked 🙂 reflection, beauty, compassion – somehow started 😛 [I’m modest, I know 🙂 ] the rest – on the way! I feel ritual is the most far from me… I am with it… community…
embraced by softness
today I didn’t know if I want to be on the mat in the last days, weeks, I haven’t been… (since 3.09). I came anyway… as I did some other times, trusting the “I don’t know” and being with the … let’s see what’s coming… unfolding, being informed… there was a softness, embracing me the…
Francis Weller on Grief and Sorrow (2013)
I listened to Francis again this morning… to this talk. he soothes my soul…in these moments when I allow grief to wipe me inside out and leave me sometimes empty.. sometimes with gratefulness and appreciation of the human soul… sometimes with hate… sometimes with soft love for myself.. compassion for my coming home… kindness for…
reverence of approach
An apprenticeship with sorrow invites us to learn the rites of grief and to practice a reverence of approach, as Irish poet/philosopher John O’Donohue suggests. He writes, “What you encounter, recognize or discover depends to a large degree on the quality of your approach… When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us.”…
apprenticeship with sorrow
I’ve just started to read “The Wild Edge of Sorrow” by Francis Weller… some months ago, as Ronen was sharing, I listened to Charles Eisenstein’s podcast… a talk with Francis Weller about grief and reverence. I was touched by Francis… I remember taking some notes on their talks (don’t know where they are, hmmm)… then…
(not) good enough… and the next level
all my life I had, have and will have the “not good enough”, “not worthy” (and all the variations that comes with it) program, in my mind.. I was seriously trained for this in my childhood ;)… SOOOO good at it! lately, I can look at it, smile, move on with MUCH less energy lost…
Krishnamacharya and all the humble spirits
last night around 4 am I woke up with Krishnamacharya in my mind and heart. I am reading these days “Yoga and the Living Tradition of KRISHNAMACHARYA”, written by his son T.K. V. Desikachar with R.H. Craven… and feeling so grateful to further discover the humbleness of this… man. last night I had this deep…
The Rupture of the Mother Line and the Cost of Becoming Real
there is more beyond what is written here… at different levels… thinking of myself… my dear sister, our mom, of Pearl and of many… many other women (and men) I met in this lifetime… With each wave of grief we re-unite with the parts of us we had to disown in order to be accepted…
how do I keep myself clear?
it was around one year ago when I was having a conversation with Ronen, in which I asked him about “how do I keep clear… not deluding myself?” he answered this: continue to be alert and ask that question; describe more specifically what “old stories” mean so that you can recognize when you see them;…
