I Find Peace Like This
¿Coche nuevo, vestido caro, vacaciones en Canarias? Habitualmente creemos que la felicidad nos la otorgan los bienes exteriores. ¿Pero y si miramos en nuestro interior y nos damos cuenta de que podemos ser felices aquí y ahora? ¿Y si meditamos? Peace Revolution España va a organizar un tour para compartir los beneficios de la meditación y mindfulness (o atención plena). Del 29 de septiembre al 1 de octubre, las guías certificadas de meditación Alejandra Barbé Sevilla and Agnija Kazuša se dedicarán a impartir clases para aprender a meditar y a compartir su experiencia sobre el estilo de vida mindful en diferentes sesiones a lo largo de Barcelona, Madrid, Asturias y Galicia.
¿Quién siente que tiene demasiado tiempo libre? ¿O que al día le sobran horas que no sabemos cómo rellenar? No son estas sensaciones habituales para nadie ¿verdad? Y es totalmente comprensible, no hay más que repasar de memoria todo lo que hacemos al día para darnos cuenta de que no es tiempo precisamente lo que nos sobra. Trabajamos, estudiamos, cuidamos de nuestra familia, mantenemos una vida social, viajamos… ¿es posible sacar tiempo libre? La respuesta que todos nos damos es un rotundo no. Sin embargo, quizá deberíamos reformular la pregunta y cuestionarnos, ¿si consiguiéramos sacar tiempo libre, para que nos serviría, en qué lo invertiríamos?

“We are what we eat” is a phrase that my dad kept on repeating to me since I was a kid. I’ve always understood it as an advice to eat healthy food in order to ensure a long life free of diseases. That’s why I’ve always thought that eating mindfully was just about taking care of the food I feed myself with.
In this globalized era, where there is a constant flow of information, we pretty much can say that everyone who has access to technology is aware more than ever and in real time about what is going on in the world.

I remember New Year’s Eve 2012 as if it was yesterday. That year didn’t end very well… I lost my job and my mother had an accident. However, despite the apparent bad luck we faced, I remember thinking to myself, “2013 will be better. I’m not a superstitious person, so no matter what people says about the number 13, this is going to be our year”.
I have always been a person who cares about others’ issues. I may be more sensitive than the average, but the truth is that it affects me to see others suffer. And I’m not talking about problems affecting just my beloved ones. I actually care about what happens also to people that I don’t know at all.
