But time is much more then that. Money can be always earned, lost time we can't have. We need to stop, or at least pause and take time for ourselves to see where we are and where we are going. We need to try to escape routine and open ourselves to the life's little pleasures. Be a master of your time. That means, no every moment in the day needs to be planed and also that time should be used wisely. Keep time for enjoyment, leave always free space for anything that can surprisingly and spontaneously come your way. How many times we say no to meeting friends, even to playing with our children, and as a reason we state luck of time. There is no luck of time, there is only too many things that control our time and life. Be present in every moment and switch all your senses on. Think that you want to live and feel it all. It sounds like natural thing to do. Why does it feel then like we are never really here and hardly ever see it and feel it all? Every day problems have a power to block our ability to feel in the present. Everyday problems are controlling our lives. If we can take back control of our lives that will ultimately mean that we can control our time too.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>This is the only way to live and act in the present. We have to live fully, we have to live in every moment and not let the time pass us. Living now is the only time we have. This moment will pass and won't come back. </i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>If you walk, eat, work, love, even if you drive, do only that, and give yourself to only that activity. If you watch movie, meet friends, play with children, be hundred percent present and let the pleasure be seen on you. Think that this is the only thing you want to do in this moment. Focus on one thing at the time and when you do that one thing, make it the most important. In that way you will be present, you will have real pleasure from it and you will never do it just halfway. And do not hurry. Getting stressed and hurrying won't get things done faster or better. Forget about time and do things in your own speed and rhythm. Everybody has worries but they don't need to follow us everywhere. It is important to leave worries on the side sometimes and have different thoughts. Enjoy the daily rituals that makes you happy. In learning to live in present start with the small things. Many things we do, take too much energy from us unnecessary. Learn to recognize them and once you do, you may be able to replace them with the ones of your choice and naturally give you a pleasure...To be continued...:)</i></span>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151764211018564645.post-37357168696846199522011-03-18T09:11:00.000-07:002011-03-18T09:11:07.988-07:00Be Here and Now II<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz6kv9rg0FwXKxHbC6fNvBkwy0qJcX5m5lgLhlptZvWUMcz91FxqggQKoNN4It_NIDjbnHlqx8Nh07-vuxyiTUn2NpaBy523B5XUXke9HRZYolqernnI5fvb1UKnI9UajDqYVyBvurq2oz/s1600/time-flies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz6kv9rg0FwXKxHbC6fNvBkwy0qJcX5m5lgLhlptZvWUMcz91FxqggQKoNN4It_NIDjbnHlqx8Nh07-vuxyiTUn2NpaBy523B5XUXke9HRZYolqernnI5fvb1UKnI9UajDqYVyBvurq2oz/s1600/time-flies.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>We live in a time of technological and informative development, and 21. century has gave birth to the new value - speed. Everything is available for us with much less of an effort but on the other hand it takes from us ability to enjoy it in the present. The information of need for something travels from our brain to our hands with such a speed, that the time of anticipation for something to happen its close to zero. Everything is available here and now. We have solutions for everything, answers for all questions, spontaneity is gone from our life. The more we hurry, the more we are late and meanwhile we miss so many things on the way. We run after dreams, and even if we reach them, we are so manipulated by the speed that prevent us from enjoying the little steps we make on our way to fulfill them. Or are there any little steps? Do we think, why to make five little steps when one big can take me there? I am not saying that we all should plant a garden and watch the whole process, food from the seed until it ends up on our tables. I am not saying lets forget about e-mails and go back to writing letters with pen and paper. I am saying, lets just slow down a bit and try to stay still, instead of always racing with time. Do you remember time when you were child? One year was a long time. We were present in whatever we did. We had a memory of things that happened and we could recall it long after. We were making and filling our time with actions that came out of us. We were creating "time". For an adult "time flies" not because we are so busy but because we are not present. We have no feeling for time as we are not giving it a meaning. I will give you an example, imagine yourself walking from point A to B. You can feel the time passing differently depending on your presence in the time during the walk. You can be not present simply by only being preoccupied with whatever is on your mind at the moment and not letting any other information reach you. You reach your destination, you look back and you hardly have a memory of walk or time. Or, you can look around you, you can follow your steps, you can enjoy the air, smells and voices. You can let surroundings or feelings shape your thoughts and that all will give a quality to the time that passed, and with it, you will have real feeling of time. Imagine now your whole adult life...Do you want to live it and see it as one long day only? Time doesn't fly. We only have that feeling when we are not giving a meaning to the time with our presence in it...To be continued...:)</i></span>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151764211018564645.post-7502131795067999792011-03-18T07:04:00.000-07:002011-03-18T07:04:18.120-07:00Bracelet-From Me to You<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>I love making things out of wire. It is material that gives endless opportunities for creative work. You can make almost everything with it. I find it very meditative and interestingly, work with wire turns everything into surprise. I never know how the piece will turn out to be. Challenging part is, you must not make mistake, because if you do, it is very hard to correct it without marks left after. It has kind of philosophical meaning too, don't you think?:) Anyway, <b>my present for you</b> today is a one of the bracelet of your choice. All you need to do is leave a comment underneath and choose the bracelet you like the best. And you have one week from today to think about it:) And no worry, they are flexible and can fit any hand.</i></span><br />

Always in hurry, running after better or whatever kind of life, we stop being aware of present moment, as if we dread to stop and face ourselves. Day after day, we live an absurd life settled in our routines. We repeat same actions, rituals and our habits are same every day. Do you feel that you are always in hurry but you never get anywhere? Working more, enjoying less and responsibilities are pulling you in all directions? Do you feel that you are bit too often checking e-mails and phones? Even when we rest or on the holidays we need to be part of the express living, not missing a thing, as we are part of consumers society and we have to follow rules of the group we belong to. But not aware that an instant culture is only offering the short lasting pleasures that fulfill our false needs. We never or almost never live in the present moment. Most of the day we deal with our obligations, we talk to others and we talk to ourselves. We talk about what is going to happen and we talk and about past but somehow we always miss the present moment, as the present is always somehow ahead of us. Long ago people lived much worse life, but they were easier satisfied with much less than what we have now. Why can't we be? Why do we value material stuff above anything else? What is it that has changed in our thinking and attitude?...To be continued...:)</span></i>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151764211018564645.post-46378579491312417992011-03-11T05:38:00.000-08:002011-03-11T07:20:10.284-08:00From Me to You-Handmade Tea Bags<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVR-y3PDHmOtLTghq71MzricOB2QG2YSv9X9Fse2d7l5osTVJ-e61sotnDiPDZpPRb93Whd4ANCwLVZJWtw5dfSUPVkTY3a2MO9WNR2uuY80_FIbBniKwWfvRLL5EILArcjFMfXRZkxD2/s1600/IMG_1162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAVR-y3PDHmOtLTghq71MzricOB2QG2YSv9X9Fse2d7l5osTVJ-e61sotnDiPDZpPRb93Whd4ANCwLVZJWtw5dfSUPVkTY3a2MO9WNR2uuY80_FIbBniKwWfvRLL5EILArcjFMfXRZkxD2/s320/IMG_1162.JPG" width="293" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>I love making things.

</b>Why should we use our peripheral vision? Our retina (the focal plane of the eye containing photosensitive cells) is less damaged there than in the central part. The central part of retina is constantly in use, and over the years suffers accumulated damage from excessive and/or artificial illumination (TV, computers, artificial light etc...).

Note that colored areas seem to be surrounded by the “Aura” of a different color. When peripheral sensors are stimulated for some time, we have color sensations, much different than when we use the central vision. The longer you concentrate, the brighter is the “Aura” around colored areas, because your sensitivity increases. Yesterday you could look at this picture for hours and never see anything.

Place the picture about 1 meter in front of you. Stretch your hand forward so that one of your fingers is between and underneath circles.<br />
<br />
Change focus on the tip of your finger and overlook the circles. You should see 4 circles. Then aim to overlap the middle two to see ONE CIRCLE WITH A WHITE CROSS on top of your finger, in the middle between the two. Seeing the cross is the evidence, that the left hemisphere of the brain (connected to the right eye) is communicating with the right hemisphere (connected to the left eye).<br />

Experiment with the distance from your finger to your eyes to achieve a perfect cross. You gain a significant benefit after 3-5 minutes of maintaining a perfectly balanced cross, preferably without blinking, but a magic duration seems to be 45 minutes of concentration at the time, which is said to make a REAL difference to your mental and auric abilities.<br />
Gradually, with practice you should be able to achieve and maintain the cross without the finger. While maintaining the cross try to become aware of the other 2 circles as well as everything around using your peripheral vision. You should see Auric colors around the colored circles above with your peripheral vision. When you can analyze surroundings using your peripheral vision, without loosing the cross (and the concentration), you are ready to see and read auras.</span></span></span></i></div><div class="text" style="text-align: justify;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Have to say, this was'n easy one for me.

I am very pleased with results and naturally I want to share it with you. I got myself prepared like I am having big exam coming, woke up early as this time of the day is my best for being super clever, gathered all informations I may need to realize at the end that is actually very simple. And not, I don't think I have spiritual powers bigger then anybody else and yes, it really has to be natural ability of ours that just as many other we forgot how to use.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>And now I know, ANYONE can see auras to some degree. Rather than create an "aura" of mystery around my newly acquired skill, I would like to show you some of the exercises I tried to, and demonstrate what eyes are capable of. </i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Very young children see auras naturally. Infants frequently look ABOVE a person in front of them. When they don't like the color of the aura above the head, or if this color is much different from their parent's aura, they cry, no matter how much smiling the person does. I am sure everybody experienced this. Other example that I personally saw a lot in my line of work are children drawings. Many times, children draw colorful, rainbow like surrounding around the person they draw. Yes, Children do have much cleaner and stronger auras than most of adults, but this is not a reason why they see auras. </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Young children see auras much easier, because their central vision is not yet damaged. Once they go to school they are told to use their vision in a certain way, and gradually they lose their natural auric sight. But before I get to that point I would like to tell you what aura is and why it is useful to be able to see it. </i></span><br />
<i><span class="text" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Everything in the Universe seems to be just a vibration. Every atom, every part of an atom, every electron, every elementary “particle”, even our thoughts and consciousness are just vibrations.<br />
The most important property of the Aura seems to be the fact that it contains INFORMATION</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> about the object.</span></span><span class="text" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
Aura around living objects (people, plants ...) changes with time, sometimes very quickly. Aura around non-living object is essentially fixed, but can be changed by our conscious intent. </span></span></i><br />
<i><span class="text" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Colors and intensity of the aura, especially around and above the head have very special meanings. Watching someone's aura you can actually see the other person's thoughts before you hear them expressed verbally. If they do not agree with what this person is saying, you effectively see a lie every time. We cannot fake the Aura. It shows our True Nature and intentions for everyone to see.</span></span></i><br />
<i><span class="text" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When people realize that their Aura is on display and many people are able to see it, they will watch what they think. And they will try to see and improve their own Aura. In the process they will become better and wiser, being able to recognize intentions of other people. Surely, the entire world will become much better if all people can see and read Auras. Just imagine being able to see auras of politicians and them knowing that their auras are visible for everyone to see. What a great world this would be. </span></span></i><br />

The awareness of all the possibilities, all the different levels of experience we could have in love-making, and the knowledge that exquisite, divine feelings are left untapped, are what brings us to Tantra. In orgasm we have a glimpse of eternity, letting go into something far bigger and more spacious then our orgasmic gratification. It is this experience of something vaster that keeps us fixated on sex, striving to repeat experience. Tantra is the practice that allows you to attain that state without immediately loosing it again. It allows you to maintain and extend it. Women and men are prevented from making love to our full potential, because we have not learned how to make love with consciousness. Tantra teaches ways to make lovemaking more aware, and techniques for assimilating the energies of your partner in love-making.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Tantra sees your connection as a meeting of divine energies, rather then two ego-bound psyches destined to act out past patterns and ways of relating that stem from your family background. A psychotherapy-based way of looking at relationships can be of limited use, and Tantra replace it with a more spiritual model. It teaches you how to unlock the energies within yourself and to use them to transform your experience of world into one of bliss.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Tantra is not no-holds-barred excuse for sexual experimentation-it assumes that any work on sexual development is grounded in an egalitarian, committed and loving relationship. Within a relationship with a strong heart connection you can do the work of transforming sexuality into a more integrated way of being. </i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Tantra changes one's way of relationship. Couples become less dependent, jealous or neurotic. They tend to be more harmonious, fun and energy-filled. </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;">In the way of Tantra, you also discover that the relationship you seek outside is already within you.</span></i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;"> </span></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>And this all from me on the subject of Tantra. If I had got your interest, and I hope I had, there are many places you can read or learn about practicing Tantra. And you don't have to be "believer". You simply need to learn about and cultivate the Tantric vision: a vital, bliss-filled approach to sex, love and life in general.</i></span>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151764211018564645.post-79517612329977920142011-03-03T02:53:00.000-08:002011-03-05T04:22:04.899-08:00Tantra II<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheEKS-jhD3dDNBvmwcw-jX_Ok5FAzUdC0DwlnidyqyRbilrbOQh6Re0N91vyaghakxGaKByH6QJyeQKcwBNiu8f9whLlhWq2rwcrZ9JsAGL8MjjGn3rV2T_1xQeNttuL8CPON0wH-Eh_-X/s1600/rainbow-tantra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheEKS-jhD3dDNBvmwcw-jX_Ok5FAzUdC0DwlnidyqyRbilrbOQh6Re0N91vyaghakxGaKByH6QJyeQKcwBNiu8f9whLlhWq2rwcrZ9JsAGL8MjjGn3rV2T_1xQeNttuL8CPON0wH-Eh_-X/s1600/rainbow-tantra.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Many women are literally outside themselves, not daring to inhibit their bodies. We don't feel comfortable in our bodies because of cultural messages we receive throughout our life time which prevent us from revelling in them, whatever shape or size we are, and from enjoying the experiences our bodies bring us.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>It is rare to see a young woman who revells in her body, with the pure joy of just being alive. Young women in our culture don't learn how to be in their own power sexually, and it is a long journey before they feel they can be themselves, rather then what media images, peer pressure and men want them to be. Many of us do not come into a sense of our own sexual power until mid-thirties, when we already have a lot of negative experiences that need to be released and healed in some way. Many women say they become mothers before becoming women!</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Men also have a difficult relationship with their sexual power, often feigning a virility that masks luck of confidence underneath. Our culture expects men to assume a dominant sexuality, pursuing potential mates and initiating sex, yet it castigates men for just doing that. Many men carry a lot of fear and insecurity over their sexual prowess and find it just as hard to inhibit their bodies as women do. A Tantric attitude is to see the beauty of each aspect of life in a non-judgmental way and meet everything in an attitude of respect. Anything that rejects the body rejects the innate beauty of the person.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>For those of us who have problem relating sexually in this culture of repression and denial, sexual healing is needed to free sexual energy from its distortions, and associations with power and violence. This traditionally masculine need for power over another person is replaced by more mutual way of framing a relationship, based on care and respect.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Too many of us have been going through motions sexually. Many of us experience deep dissatisfaction around our sexual lives.

Tantra literally means a tool for expansion. In spite of the Eastern terminology, Tantra is easy concept to grasp. At its heart is the knowledge that a powerful current of energy flows through us all, which needs to be harmonized. Tantra involves expansion on an energetic, psychological and physical level, and the teachings have been used for thousands years as a tool to expand the boundaries of consciousness. Tantra aims to harmonize life energies and resolve contradictions and conflicts in order to experience life as a flow of intense energy. </i></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Tantra aims at total surrender-letting go of mental, emotional and cultural conditioning, so that universal life energy can flow through us. It is finding our way back to our existential roots, letting go into sense of wonder and oneness with universe, which spiritual teachers of all paths describe simple as love.</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Tantric practices involve a meeting on the sexual level. Sex is the beginning rather then the ultimate step in the journey you are taking together. Sexual practices are performed with consciousness of what are you doing, and why. More important than what are you doing is how you are doing it, and the intention you have when you are making love. Love making with the intention of exploring real intimacy and connection with your partner, and allowing yourself to see where that connection takes you, rather then limiting your focus on genital pleasure and orgasm, creates the right space. But Tantra is not just about sex, it is about the free flow of energy within yourself, as well as others. It is more about this flow of energy then about sexual intercourse or fancy postures of love making. The emphasis in Tantric love making is on non-doing-relaxing into pleasurable experiences and the energy connection you have with your partner, rather then trying to build excitement and make something specific happen (orgasm)...To be continued:)</i></span></div>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151764211018564645.post-85710879221163972782011-02-28T06:11:00.000-08:002011-02-28T11:19:17.843-08:00More<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0vg-JobmsUYc6z8WLatNzT4YLl1gddRkg0qPs72nDr9V4qD4qDnqDx5XpityrqLqlbzr9H4haT3v2lf68SSlsdy0BQZ3SU3uVm7_wXuxHygMM0Rv137ferx63OVQZGRqkh4gKVVoKpGO7/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0vg-JobmsUYc6z8WLatNzT4YLl1gddRkg0qPs72nDr9V4qD4qDnqDx5XpityrqLqlbzr9H4haT3v2lf68SSlsdy0BQZ3SU3uVm7_wXuxHygMM0Rv137ferx63OVQZGRqkh4gKVVoKpGO7/s1600/Unknown.jpeg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>I got inspired to write this post by watching a TV program.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>I have the best job of all! What else could I say about a job where you smile and play all day? No day is same, and you see results of your efforts constantly. You get hugs, kisses and presents every day. Conkers and dry leaves in autumn, flowers in spring and mud and sand cakes all year long. What can I say about a job where I would pay to do it?! (I am sane enough not to say this publicly) :) But with this job comes the day like today when I had to say good bye to one of my little friends. For me this is the hardest moment of all. Once somebody told me, "You must never get attached to children you work with, they grow up and leave". I answered, "My own children will grow up and leave, should I not be attached to them either?" (Yes, I always say what is on my mind). In whole honesty I believe that person like this would have very hard time before children would grow up and leave. More precisely, any person would have very hard time working with children if not attached to them to the some extent. Carpenter gets attached to the piece of wood he works on. How could you not get attached to the alive being, full of love and trust? And yes, they do leave your life, they move on. Things are changing fast when you are child. I have been complete mess today, I am never prepared for the emotions that come when the moment to say good bye is there. Tears were running my face but I smiled as I look at confused face of the gorgeous girl I had a pleasure of working with for two years (sorry, playing with for two years). I smile because I know it is time to say good bye. It is time for change. And I am grateful for trust of her parents, I am grateful for being part of her life, for being right there at the beginning of her schooling time. And I am happy that she left us ready for new challenges and feeling that school is great place to be. </i></span>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151764211018564645.post-58987218222540483502011-02-21T02:35:00.000-08:002011-02-21T12:59:20.309-08:00Perfect just the way we are<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihnwjP_5-ww_SPKXAM1HMprc9bKnqgJuy29oETH3YYvGvyHHNZR4XUMXpVQuW8xsEFzQ2-QTcKRdDiP8v-fB8wcTa63iCb2TPokRXpacT0sZ1exYA7iMVhFivMMdhYeQgoHdw0tGWWVQaa/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihnwjP_5-ww_SPKXAM1HMprc9bKnqgJuy29oETH3YYvGvyHHNZR4XUMXpVQuW8xsEFzQ2-QTcKRdDiP8v-fB8wcTa63iCb2TPokRXpacT0sZ1exYA7iMVhFivMMdhYeQgoHdw0tGWWVQaa/s1600/images.jpg" /></i></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Why do we want to be somebody else?

And why is it that we need energy to except ourselves, why is it not a natural state of ours to love the way we are, our abilities and our uniqueness? We are in constant pursuit of improving our looks, our financial affairs, our place in society and in same time we ignore or take for granted abilities we are born with, to see, hear, walk, feel, touch...If we would just use those abilities to their full potential, we would never miss anything! Simple reason behind why there is never enough money, why we are never beautiful enough etc, is because this is not our natural road to happiness. It will never fulfill us. No amount of money, plastic surgeries, diets or beauty regimes can fill up the emptiness in our heart and life. How about trying to help others to see beauty in themselves? How about giving smiles, words of encouragement and appreciation to the others? Maybe then they wouldn't feel anymore that they have to be someone else in order to be excepted and loved. Maybe then the whole world would change. I know how this sounds...but I, for myself choose to believe in possibility of it. I don't think I am better off believing that there is no chance.</i></span><br />

But with the true meaning lost, passion is not seen as a positive thing anymore. In the culture that suppresses their sexuality, all you have to do is attach sexuality to anything and we notice it. We sell everything with it.

</i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #505050;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>It started long ago with the movement in the West, mostly in Europe. In order to control the lives of people all you have to do, is to control their access to spirit. This is religion. Religion is probably the biggest business on the planet. Essentially what they had to do was convince human beings that something was wrong with them and that they needed to be redeemed. The church's business is redemption. One way they did this was to demonize sex. Well then, you are demonizing the energy that created you. When people bought into this, they really started feeling bad. They needed to get help, they needed to be saved and the church was saying, we will do it for you, if not in this lifetime at least in the next. They got people to totally surrender their energy, and the ones that suffered the most were women. A woman's entire body is erotic, so when a woman suppresses her sexuality, her entire body suffers. </i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #505050;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br />
</i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #505050;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>For thousands of years prior to this sex was considered to be a legitimate path to healing and enlightenment. Most of the healers at this time were women or were dominantly a feminine energy.( In the Native American tradition, for example, whenever a male child was born who demonstrated feminine characteristics, they would take him up and train him to be a shaman, because he had a healer's perspective.) Were does this leave us, living in the world that teaches us that our main energy is our ticket to Hell? And however you look at it, it is. We live in a living hell, abusing sexual energy or using it as a weapon aimed at others or ourselves. Being brainwashed by the institutions or individuals pretending to do work of God, we negate probably the most sacred attribute of our beings. </i></span></span>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151764211018564645.post-45105189514877943012011-02-19T02:55:00.000-08:002011-02-19T02:55:50.902-08:00Happy Thoughts<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Sometimes it takes only happy thoughts to bright up your day:) Here are mine for today:)</i></span><br />

I did it from entirely selfish reasons. I know, it doesn't sound right. But it is! Carrying in yourself disappointment and hate it is one of the most self destroying feelings you can have. I wanted to live my own life, not a life of person I hated because that is exactly what happens. If your mind and your heart is obsessing about hurt and hate, and knowing that every thought affects your life and shapes your character, at the end you become what you hate. And natural cause of the things is that you will do same thing, if not to the person who hurt you, then to somebody else. And the most likely you won't even notice that the same pattern acquired. Not letting go of hate or disappointment is hurting you more then what originally caused the unpleasant feeling. Often we say, I can not forgive, because it would mean that I forgot it and I can not let myself forget. We learn and grow. Even if we forget on the rational level, somewhere in us, knowledge is deep imprinted. I just don't see the reason for keeping the feeling that goes with the knowledge. Let the feeling of hate go, you have no use of it, you already learned your lesson.</i></span></span></div>Draganahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05854097335792664762noreply@blogger.com0
