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.
Having a balance life is what I am always searching for…After getting my master degree following 4 years of study in China, I was full of energy, big dreams, ambitious plans and high expectations about the life I had ahead of me. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as I had expected (not that happy); after 2 month search, I couldn’t find the job I was looking for and became depressed and unhappy. All of my expectation and big plans were ruined as my search became fruitless.
Our peace architect Alejandra Barbé Sevilla took place in “One World. One Home”, the 12th European Youth Summit organized by the international youth movement AYUDH that involved 300 participants from 26 countries, providing a variety of learning experiences which empowered participants to recognize and responds to needs in their respective communities, facilitating intercultural dialogue, engagement in community service and promoted community leadership.
Recently I was a guest speaker in one high-school on which I was supposed to introduce teaching Mindfulness. Since I usually teach about Mindfulness to youth who are familiar and motivated to learn about it and most of the time in small groups, I didn’t prepare anything special. I just do my usual talk and few simple exercises. After a few minutes, I’ve noticed that most of the class in which there were more than 30 pupils aged around 17, were completely unaware of my existence.
As a Republic, Burundi’s current president Pierre Nkurunziza started his third mandate in August 2015. Ever since he declared that he would run for a third term on 26 April 2015, which some claim to be unconstitutional, the country has found itself in a political turmoil with violent protests leading to about 240,000 (registered) refugees, and suspension of international government aid. Currently, the violence has become less intense and more sporadic, but the country is yearning for more stability.
A mí la meditación me permite conectarme un poco más conmigo mismo, saber un poco quien soy.
One year ago I was a totally different person, who was easily affected by her environment. I let myself absorb everything that was surrounding me, both the bad and the good. And I kept telling myself that it was all that makes us Human until I discovered meditation and started to meditate. I can say that it has literally saved my life!
“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.
There is a great power in letting go that most people aren’t aware of, we tend to think of it as losing because we were made to believe that our worth is measured by how much is in our pockets , closets and houses.
