Saudade

Saudade é uma coisa que trazemos connosco. Uma palavra que nos dias maus nos faz querer voltar, mas que nos dias bons, porque nela se guarda confiança, nos ajuda a recordar o que nos levou a partir.

Um minuto de silêncio, por Marina Abramovic & Ulay

"Nos anos 70, Marina Abramovic viveu uma intensa história de amor com Ulay. Durante 5 anos viveram num furgão realizando todo tipo de performances. Quando sentiram que a relação já não valia aos dois, decidiram percorrer a Grande Muralha daChina; cada um começou a caminhar de um lado, para se encontrarem no meio, dar um último grande abraço um no outro, e nunca mais se ver.

23 anos depois, em 2010, quando Marina já era uma artista consagrada, o MoMa de Nova Iorque dedicou uma retrospectiva a sua obra. Nessa retrospectiva, Marina compartilhava um minuto de silêncio com cada estranho que sentasse a sua frente. Ulay chegou sem que ela soubesse e... Foi assim."

soul mate, by Richard from Texas

"A soul mate sometimes enters our life as someone to stir us up," he says. "To hold up the mirror so that we can see ourselves more clearly and antagonize us and make us so uncomfortable that we have to change because we can't continue to look at the same thing because we're looking at it clearly now." Richard says this is the reason a soul mate may not last forever. "The encounter is so intense and so clarifying that we burn through those things quickly," he says.

"How to Create the Life of Your Dreams with a Miracle Mindset"

Para me lembrar de praticar...

1. DROP THE SKEPTICISM

   Suspend your disbelief about what is possible
in your love life, much like you would when you
are engrossed in a great movie or book.

   In the same way as you engage in the story
there, engage with your visualizations of the
desired outcomes in any dating or relationships
situation and play in a new playground of
possibility.  Like we do naturally when we're
children, play fully in the imaginings of all that
you desire.

   And get excited - you're creating your dream
outcome!


2. CULTIVATE 'BEING'

   It's funny, but as human BEINGS we spend an
awful lot of time DOING. We're forever busy with
one thing or another.  In our flurry, we can wind
up disconnected from the inner stillness, silence
and higher knowing within all of us ... the place
where real magic resides.

   Cultivate the practice of 'being' into each
day: just breathe and feel. Don't set too many
parameters around the "how." Just do it and work
it as it evolves for you. Notice what happens.
It's also a great time to do your imagining as you
come from a centered, strong place.

   I once read the expression that it was the
space between the notes that actually made the
music. Otherwise, a note without space would be
one long sound. Interesting.


3. PRACTICE ACCEPTANCE

   Consider embracing exactly what is, as it is,
right now. If you can foster an unconditional
acceptance of people, you open up the
possibilities beyond the limits of any
expectations and are free to enjoy the moment as
it shows up. Others may surprise you - YOU may
even surprise you!

   This doesn't mean we can't aspire to different
circumstances or ways of being, but it does give
us a clear and solid platform to build from as we
embrace the whole reality right now.

   What we resist persists, as the saying goes.
Try acceptance and watch things transform.


4. PRACTICE GRATITUDE

   How often do we stop to take stock of all
that's already great and working well in our
lives? Too frequently, we can find ourselves in
that place of stocktaking all that we don't have
and haven't yet achieved.

   Yet we already know how much our focus directs
the results in our lives.  By focusing on what we
don't have with a yearning type of energy, we
simply go on to produce more of that very thing:
the wanting or the lack.

   By coming from a place of gratitude, we are
opening up to embrace even more and welcome
further all the good that's already there.

   After all, you deserve it!


5. CHOOSE TO LEARN THROUGH KNOWING

   If you are going to doubt something, (as we so
often do, as humans), doubt your fears and doubt
your limits.

   Choose to learn new distinctions through a
sense of knowing that all is traveling just
perfectly and all that you ever need will show up
in the right time, the right place and the right
sequence.

   That sense of certainty will see you learning
in an empowering way while creating magical
results.

   Remember, in the words of Wayne Dyer, "What you
can conceive of as a picture in your mind, you can
create in the physical world, provided you do not
let go of the picture."
