Feeling stuck?

[feeling stuck = being trapped in something ]

Phil Parker, a British osteopath, talks about the LP (Lightning Process).

The LP is a personal training (not treatment) programme beneficial for :
chronic fatigue syndrome
depression
chronic pain

people who are stuck, in general terms


some notes from the speech:

➤ mind - brain - body connection 
          * physical illness can be produced by how we use our brain
          * your brain influences your body

➤ The words you tell to yourself matter.

➤ The LP converts people from the stuckness to becoming "doers".

➤ From "passive statements" (the victim mentality) to the "dô" (break the facts and take control of the situation)
             e.g.    I'm stressed                 ➝    the  situation is X and   I'm" dôing" stress
                       (unconscious, unintentional)                            (conscious, intentional)
                       out of your control                                            break the state of facts

"Well - being is a skill"

A neuroscientific perspective on well-being by Richard Davidson :
(add subtitles in English is you wish to)


Some notes taken from the speech:

➤ neuroplasticity : the brain changes in response to experience and in response to training.
                                 ➞ we can shape our brains for the good.

➤ the bi-directional highways between the brain and the body.
                                  ➝ cultivating well-being through transforming our mind will
                                       change the brain in ways that can impact the body.

➤ we come into the world with innate basic goodness.
                                  ➝ cultivate kindness and compassion.


➽ The four constituents of well-being:

1. Resilience : 
     - rapidly recover from adversity  ➙ regulated from training

2. Tha ability to have a background glow of positive emotions.

3. Generosity.

4. Attention.



and

take care 
wherever you are.

Flores de hielo. Un poema de Lourdes Vicente.


                                           
[fuente inspiración de la imagen: https://www.pinterest.es/pin/605312006155282137/]


Entre las flores te fuiste.
                                                                                                                Entre las flores me quedo.          
   Miguel Hernández

A los que marcharon sin flores.
Y a los que se quedaron también.

Flores de hielo

nadie nos dijo que
la primavera  traería
flores de hielo
ni que los pájaros anidarían
días sin final
entre abrazos fumigados y
besos  infectados de miedo

escoltados por adioses sin mano
desfilaban los muertos
mientras los vivos deshojaban
pétalos de fuego

la maldición de la distancia
nos negó el tacto del último adiós

nadie nos dijo que
mariposas  de cristal
preñarían
el  polen de ceniza que
fecundo de luz           
caería 
sobre los ojos del mundo
nadie dijo qué

todo es silencio que palpa el aire                


Lourdes Vicente

Holding uncertainty.

What if the Universe is totally uncertain ?

Is everything entangled in the universe ?

Entanglement refers to the fact that "particles are always connected and can behave as one"



                                           " The surprising power of uncertainty "


There is nothing certain, but the uncertain | Picture Quotes
A lot to think about.
