I Find Peace Like This
Sometimes while growing up, our parents, our teachers, our friends try to affect our own dreams. Most of the time they want the best for us, but as we discover in our life paths, only us can determine what is the best for each one of us.
Since I was a child I have always had the biggest dreams. I remember drawing dinosaurs and creating stories during class. It as all about a group of adventurers discovering new worlds. Our ship transformed into a submarine and allowed us to find new creatures.
Mude suas palavras, mude sua vida!
A linguagem molda o nosso comportamento e cada palavra que usamos está imbuído no significado pessoal. As palavras certas ditas da maneira correta pode nos trazer amor, dinheiro e respeito, enquanto as palavras erradas ou mesmo as palavras certas falada no caminho errado pode levar a um país em guerra. Devemos cuidadosamente orquestrar o nosso discurso, se quisermos alcançar nossos objetivos e trazer os nossos sonhos para a realidade.
It’s certainly not a coincidence that both the words ‘medicine’ and ‘meditation’ come from the same etymological root: the Greek prefix “med”, which alludes to a medium point in between two opposites or, in other words, to that subtle state of balance we hear so much about in health blogs and yoga lessons but rarely get the chance to truly interiorize. In this brief post I’ll share my experience of meditation as the most effective, universal and low-cost medicine I have ever tried.

At some point of life many of us encounter existential questions. We rush like crazy trying to find the answers right now, right here, always somewhere outside: in books, in advices, in money, work or parties. We fight to get these answers and become angry, unhappy, lost. Sometimes we even give up and go with the flow. It feels like being one of those hamsters running in a lump. But the truth is, that the answers come whenever we stop seeking for them, when we calm down and look at ourselves from aside.

How many times have you had that feeling of never-having-enough or never-being-enough? You would expect to be naturally wired for gratitude and not something that you have to practise, right?
