The body language

Today I will approach my blog with a smile, a symbol of joy, a GESTURE of happiness, an EXPRESSION of satisfaction, so welcome to the fascinating world of THE BODY LANGUAGE. The more we deepen in our SELF-KNOWLEDGE, the more precise we can be at the time of establishing  COMMUNICATION with our 3 PARTS: the PHYSICAL,  the MENTAL and the EMOTIONAL. It is a miracolous interaction taking place thanks to the LAW OF COMMUNICATING VESSELS: believe it or not, none of these three parts has been made to taste the sweetness of life on itws own.  They nurture each other and if we dedicate even little time  to know them better, to treat them nicely and with understanding , we will certainly live a very satisfactory existence.

The body language

THE BODY  always SPEAKS to us, in perfect harmony with the EMOTIONS. How many times during our existence, have we felt the physical body trying to talk to us WITHOUT SAYING A SINGLE WORD?  During those moments of changes and uncertantities, when we cannot fall asleep easily, we become aware it is almost impossible to find a moment of peace. Precisesly in those moments our body starts his MUTE DIALOGUE with us. It starts whispering, almost with an  unpercivable tone,then it changes into a crescendo, especially if we keep ignoring its need of  attention. A loud scream, in form of intense PAIN, will follow. At this point we need to add the terms and conditions in small writing: when the manifestation is on the OUTSIDE, in reality it is a much deeper pain, INSIDE, EMOTIONAL. So we can deal and treat THE PHYSICAL SYMPTOM but the  real CAUSE will remain  unsolved.

The SIGNS are always there but very often covered up and even very well buried by the frenetic rythms that our daily life impose on us.  Our solution: as soon as I arrive home I will take a strong painkiller and sort this out.  We are very obedient citizens and so we give priority to our EXTERNAL duties, leaving our INNER ones  for last. We anaesthetize the signs openly presented to us in capital letters, highlighted and and underlined in bold.  Here we find ourselves again in the same situation , my dear friends, changing the orders of the factors…which in this case, changes massively the product!

How important is the body language ! Definetly YES it is, but let us not focus only on its surface. What is a BODY without  a MIND´S input, that same mind and  INTUTITION we should listen to and feed from.

The language of the soul

I landed in the fascinating triumvirate body-mind-spirit while I was looking for my own identity. I was eager to find an answer and it was thanks to the POSTURAL RE-EDUCATION  I came to realise the perfection of the human body and the almost infinite possibilities of movements it has got.  Many years passed by and with them I had the pleasure to accompany many people in the discovery of their adequate posture to alleviate their SYMPTOMS camouflaged as physical pain. Suddenly a reflexion came to my mind ; Inma you have reached the end of this line and MY INTUITION whisperred you CAN GIVE YOURSELF AND OTHERS much more than this. I have always known there was something deeper than the pure body training. Many questions about my emotions were waiting to be answered. Life constantly adds wisdom to our existence and in one of those moments, I felt certain I have found  the deep connection between my mind and my body and so decided to jump fearlessly and put light into the matter. I told myself  the only way to accompany other people through this process was to experience it in first person before anything else. And so I did:  I went into the stimulating world of my psyche approaching Psychology and Psych-K . A totally new world of communication and self knowledge opened in front of me : THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL.

There is a sentence very dear to me which I have been using very often throughout my existence: “ the one who moves the body moves the emotions = motion creates emotion”…I have taken so many decisions while exercising my body!..this creates the perfect environment, our thoughts  flow easily, we grease our articulations, expand our heart, our spirit and through a wide smile we feel the results of our wellbeing.

”Mens sana in corpore sano”

The body speaks through its 3 parts, indifferently if we are conscious or not. We assume the correct posture, we reposition our mind and we start to vibrate fully in our body, reaching our essence.  I THINK positively through my CONSCIENCE,  I feel COHERENT through my EMOTIONS´awareness and I move skilfully through A BODY IN HARMONY.

A very well known latin sentence accompanies us since the times of the ancient Roman Empire : “mens sana in corpore sano”.  Since that time our ancestors  were passing to us very GOOD HABITS, practising PRAYING AND MEDITACION TO NURTURE THE SOUL in perfect balance with BODY TRAINING.

Let us go back together to the beginning of this post and have a look at  the photo  Why have I choosen this marvellous creature, from the animal kingdom: the ant? Simply because it is a living example of what I want to transmit to you with this post..their COMMUNICATION skills and their unbelivable STRENGHT even without seeing.

Now you can see, my dear readers, there are some circumstances where size does not matter..the essencial is invisible to the eyes…let us look without seeing and let us use that faith, we can find deep inside everyone of us, so that we can increase our wisdom at the sound of our BODY LANGUAGE. JUST LISTEN…

The human stupidity

La-estupidez-humana

First of all I am making myself comfortable in front of my laptop as right now I need to calm down, I feel like a pressure cooker, steaming out from my head .. Why?  Because of THE HUMAN STUPIDITY.. This is why I have decided to preach with actions and let my NEURONS cool down a bit. What will follow is the result.

The human stupidity

Once upon a time there was a land, called EMOTIONS-LAND, where all the inhabitants had learnt to say how they felt while speaking. These skills were passed down from generation to generation and this flow allowed EMPATHY, RESPECT AND KNOWLEDGE to grow stronger and stronger.

The result: a community of people who were really COHERENT, HEALTHY AND INTELLIGENT, academically as much as emotionally. I strongly believe the emotional intelligence creates a very  fertile ground for a highly intellectual mind. But we cannot say the opposite.  How many brilliant  academic minds slip right at the entrance of the feelings´temple!  It is much easier to become an achiever in this world through the correct USE OF THE EMOTIONS than without them.

Simplify our life

We could avoid so many stupidities and by doing so SIMPLIFY our life.When less is more; we are in front of the  SUPREME KNOWLEDGE which allows us to live our life with fullfillmen and at the same time with those around us too.

Be able to reach that stage where the only aim is to be happy and not right…be right or be right at all costs,  there we bump again  into the essence of stupidity! It is quite peculiar how our mental structure discriminates and refuses whatever is not in agreement with our beliefs.  Let us think about it for moment;  how much energy do we waste every day being stupid or trying to convince the person in front that he/she is wrong and at the end is exactly the same.

The glass is always half full

The glass is always half full, my dear friends; this is my suggestion, based on my own personal EXPERIENCE of course. Dare to BE without trying to convince anyone and let the other BE what he-she wants; live and state your thruth with a smile, be confident, without feeling any guilt, let your energy flows in line, allowing you to  LIVE IN PLENITUDE! Keep your senses and your soul in balance, opened and cleaned, prepared to receive from the universe everything you always wanted and ready to embrace it.

Simply ovecome your stupidity, do not do anything, stay in your place, listen without prejudices the other person´s truth.  Try honestly to listen patiently to  the other, with a neutral actitude, without looking in your head  to give an answer as soon as the other has finished speaking.  Not easy at all for a BEGINNER, something quite challenging indeed, but fascinating once you have managed the control of  your mind; let us move to the dessert now.

The summary: stupidity would disappear if each one of us would take full responsibility of one´s own THOUGHTS, WORDS AND ACTIONS, in such a way that I can have a different point of view from yours and for this I do not take you to the guillotine, you behave excatly the same and we are all happy

Forgive yourself and forgive

Maybe in this precise moment you are asking yourself : and what happens when my neighbour ´s behaviour affect me or even make pieces of me. ? Very easy, you learnt to put your feet down, doing what it takes but with justice, without acrimony, or better controlling your emotions  without projecting your own programmings into the other person.

It is very peacefull to be a white canvass every single day! A tough job indeed, Did we not come to this world to re write and re master our lesson every day?  I can assure you that as soon as you start, you will realise that it is much easier to CREATE every day from scratch then write every tomorrow from the contamination of the past.   This does not mean we have to delete our  most valuable experiences  or behave like a kamikaze without thinking.  I refer to the ability to FILTER and choose only those fruitful parts of our experience, and as a rule, congratulate yourself for your evolution and eliminate all those unpleasant feelings associated with your life. FORGIVE YOURSELF AND FORGIVE, carry on in your journey with a lovely smile and take out everything you do not need from your rucksack so that your journey will be  much lighter and easier.

Remember: keep your space clean and healthy and YOU WILL BE ALWAYS READY TO RECEIVE…HERE AND NOW IS THE ONLY MOMENT THAT EXISTS.  ARE YOU READY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE´S PURPOSE WITH PASSION?

A foot on the ground and a hand in the sky

Un pie en el suelo y una mano en el cielo

Today is Monday, just a Monday in July and yet, unique, with all its identity created by the HERE and NOW …the date is anecdotal and there will not be another identical day like this, ever.
I feel thrilled to share with you my THOUGHTS and FEELINGS in this space, where we meet weekly, I am so lucky!… Every time I am in front of a white canvas, it opens a full world of limitless opportunities and expressions. I do not need to pretend, I feel FREE, free TO BE, TO SAY what I want WITHOUT EXPECTATIONS..when you do not expect anything in return, then those self JUDGEMENTS disapper …How peaceful!

A foot on the ground and a hand in the sky

Cutting the story short and going to the point, the other day, my friend Inma came home to visit and we started talking about BALANCE-IN, more specifically about the blogs. She asked me “do you know how many people read your blogs every week?” Without hesitation I answered: “ to be totally honest with you, I have not got the slightes idea and it would be exactly the same if only 4 or 4000 would read it .. I enjoy so much this writing – space of mine, because here, I feel totally myself..! it is pure pleasure, very therapeutic and I highly recommend it to everyone. When I am in this space, I leave shame, judgement and fear on one side, ready to join the scene, without knowing when the curtains will rise and if the stage will be full or totally empty. It is the best moment; I abandon myself to the language of the SOUL, with strong passion and noththing else, enjoyng the sublime taste of the reward: writing!…can you believe that for a large part of my life I have been hiding!

I am sure you have been personally experincing the effects of those marks, burned in our SUBCONSCIOUS MIND by our parents with their best intentions, when they use to tell us “ be discret, do not tell this or that to anyone, do not stand out to avoid envious feelings toward you… and this and that..what a nonsense!

Making the way while walking

I have loved the theatre since I was very little, yes indeed, and singing, dancing , writing..I was fascinated with any form of expression. I have always had a foot on the ground and a hand in the sky; in this sentece I summarise my essence and I believe every single human being feels the same. Do you really believe we are only made up of that part we know as BODY, that side of us we dress with different clothes, to which we apply a different mask according to the occasion? Without any doubt, this is the worldly part I enjoy a lot, what would be the sense of having a body if we were not to make the best of it, and enjoy it in all its wider aspects? Of course we have been made to live on this earth, to put one foot down with strenght and grace or even both, most likley better!…making the way while walking as Machado wrote wisely.

A hand in the sky

Let us move into the second part of our equation A HAND IN THE SKY. Since the world is world the human being has felt an ancenstral curiosity for the other side; we have clear proofs of this from our primitive ancestors, when they immortalized it in their rock paintings. A magical question which instills respect and at times, fear too; it poses the query “what lies beyond there?” What happened to our dears once they left their body? ..we could fill pages and pages about THE OTHER SIDE and HERE, or at least this is how I consider it; does it happen to you as well, when you stay silent with your eyes open or close, this is totally up to you, that you feel the flow of a PEACEFUL ENERGY,corresponding directly to your ESSENCE ? It makes you to feel the PEACE, ALIGNED, CENTRED in you, the undisputed identity of your SOUL.

For me this is the genuine LIFE ´S PURPOSE. The perfect equation which includes the widely feeling of our FIVE SENSES; otherwise why would we have them. This feeling can be easily seasoned with the wisdom of our INNER VOICE.

I am very grateful to you in BODY AND SOUL for your time and to have met you through my blog. Let us carry on working on our goal with ONE FOOT ON THE GROUND AND A HAND IN THE SKY.

The awakening

The act of bringing back into awereness a “MEMORY”, a feeling, a desire, an idea…etc or bringing back to memory somenthing latent or something already “FORGOTTEN”

The awakening

The wide definition of this verb defines perfectly the feeling of the coming back to the real existence. It is that feeling that embraces every human being, sooner or later, when one gets back to his/her HOME.
Welcome back, my dear readers. Today´s picture is that of this amazing raptor, the owl; through the centuries it has been the symbol of silence, of intelligence, of justice,of intuition and of the spirit.
Personally, I find it a fascinating animal, with a look that seems almost human. We should all praise and emulate its observation skills and its silence.

The life´s purpose

Going back to the blog´s title we are sharing ..I will tell you how “awakening “ and “owl”got togehter. I have chosen “Awakening” as an equivalent to the meaning of life, a sense I wanted to transmit to you, or at least this is how I associate it to AWAKENING; it is that desire to wake up from our DREAM; a desire which patiently waits for that moment, when we are ready to do so, when we choose to do it, when it is the right time for our soul to call out to us from our deepest inner side.
Sooner or later, in this life or another, we will all realise we have the same message engraved with LOVE in our DNA: go back home. It is a slow awakening, to the most important feeling, that of WORTHINESS; the worthiness that is always there but it only depends on us to RECOGNIZE it and RECALL we are all members and parts of a WHOLE.

Gods on earth

We all have inset abilities for we are all Gods on earth. Let us start opening our eyes and see the true light from a world of duality and based on complementarity. If this was not the case, how would we be able to appreciate the abundance if we had not felt needy? How could we know the meaning and the feeling of happiness without having felt sadness?…It is enough to be connected directly to our intuition and always follow it.
I feel good; this happens when I think with God´smind (everyone is free to substitute God´s concept and called it universe, energy, Budda or simlpy oneself). I feel bad; this happens when I put aside my king´s or Queen´s crown and do not value myself. I believe, and so should you, that the purpose of our life and our terrestrial experience is to live this life as the only existing paradise; we have to enjoy fully its abundance, love and health, as much as we can and are able to accept it.

Patience,temperance, wisdom… like an owl

We should learn patience, temperance and wisdom from the owl; it waits patiently at sunset, totally camouflaged in a branch of a tree, ready to strike with all its predatory abilities, using them as soon as a prey get close to its action´s zone. We all have a role in this world and it does not matter if we belong to the vegetal, animal or human kingdom; we all play a unique role, perfectly orchestrated, in perfect harmony, for God´s action always has a clear purpose. God is everything and we are God.

Life is an invaluable gift

Everything has a reason and a purpose in life. The owl kills its prey and by doing so it keeps the balance in the animal kingdom. I would like to leave you some space for the following reflexion : Have we opened at least one eye to become conscious of the damage we are causing to our sourrounding? We all have a consciousness. When I say damage, I refer both to the ecosystem and to ourselves. At the end of the day it is all about remembering who we are, where we are comimg from, and where we are heading to… let us remember we are here just for a while and we fully deserve to enjoy this invaluable gift called life. The dreamer of a dream as stated in “ A course in Miracles”, this amazing gift came into my life to shake me and wake me up and gosh, I DID wake up!

Live and let live

When you really wake up, you realise that the only truthful meaning of life is LIVE AND LET LIVE and not just by saying it but by applying it. This is a compromise with oneself and with life, to avoid going back to dream again. Once you wake up there is no going back. When you wake up is very clear that the responsibility with yourself and with life grows esponentially.
You cannot use the excuse anymore “ I did not know…” The only acceptable attitude is “ I am going to live this transient experience with all the honours because this is the way Gods deserve to live.

GOOD AWAKENING!

With my hands on the dough

Con las manos en la masa

Welcome everyone, please do take a sit and let us have some fun togehter in this space dedicated to another of my many passions: the art of cooking

With my hands on the dough

I am writing to your from my wooden table, in the kitchen. For me this table represents the temple of creations in every kitchen. Another space for myself where time stops. Another space I use as way out for my INNER WORLD. I actually close all the doors, isolating myself from the outside world, to deepen into my inside. I do exactly the same when I write, I let myself go without caring where it leads me to, without caring about the outcome. When I am cooking I let my creativity flow, with surprising results, original combinations and curious mixtures, explosions of flavours; this lets me say out loud: mmm this is to die for..as well as aaah.. what a fxxx is this.. disgusting!

In both situations is the goodwill, the PASSION and the ENTHUSIASM that lead the road and are always present. Independently from the outcome, I have to say with false modesty that usually the result is mouth watering.

For me cooking is like life itself

I feel very well to be so proactive and such an adventurer. I love challenges, so much that if you give me any recipe, for difficult or laborious it can be, I will literally jump into accion without a blink and I will say : I have never tried this before but…who says I am scared?

This is why cooking is like life itself.. until you have not tried it you will not be able to find out if you are able to do it or not..and the worse it can happen, I get obsssed with it until I do it better..ha ha ha. In a few occasions my sons asked me “aren´t you ever tired of LEARNING? My answer is always the same: the day I am tired of experiencing, life will have lost its meaning.

A therapy for the soul

I may be upset, stressed, thoughtful or even have not the need to cook at all as the fridge is full till the top but this does not matter; when I cook I totally forget about the world.
It is pure delight, a therapy for the soul, it´s about mixing those ingredients and letting my inmagination be, let it be without thinking, letting my intuition lead the experience, adding a pinch of pepper here, salt there or trying to sort out those beschamel lumps at the last moment in the most improbable way.

Even though you may find it strange, more than once I left the kitchen, after cooking for more than two hours non stop, with very serious decisions sorted out in my mind and on other occasions I felt so totally relaxed that I had completly forgotten the reason I was so upset when I firstly got into the kitchen. This is what I define as “impact therapy”, it could not be easier and is available to everyone. It is quite funny that the more upset I am when I get into the kitchen the tastier the dish, or at least these are the comments of those “scavengers “ who taste it once cooked and apart from false modesty my cooking is impressive. I must admit that modesty, at my respectable age, is synonim of lack of self esteeem.. Take this !!

Feed your body and soul

How many gatherings, businesses, celebrations take place in front of a delicious meal? Since the world is the world, eating and be together are associated with feeding the body but you will agree with me, that this feed especially the soul, so much as this is the symbol of joy, sharing, fun, a stimulation of the senses and it even helps to close a deal..when “your tommy is happy” you feel more satisfied and think more positively. When you share a table with others you have that feeling of belonging and is funny how around that table there are confessions and concessions. It is an universal way of communication among people.

This has the power to change the mood, to comfort the spirit. For me, if you eat anything and everything , is just a way to survive; it means you are not feeling worthy to live your life fully, it´s a negation of yourself. You can find pleasure in the quality of a good meal, even if it is simple, but, if it has been simmered by using good ingredients and passion, that simplicity will surely manage to delight any palate.

I give myself to the cause

I love receiving and taking care of all my dears at home. Before they turn up I give myself to the cause and I stay in the kitchen until everything is perfectly executed and ready.
Then it´s my shower ritual, I get ready, perfumed and prepare myself to look like a doll. I enjoy the full process, from shopping till the moment I open the door to my guests. From this moment on I relax and enjoy togehter with the them.

There is a scene that takes place frequently as my nices come to lunch or dinner regularly every week at home. Well as usual we sit at the table, they taste the food and say: Antie Inma this tastes soo good ,What have you used? My answer is always the same: thank you very much I am enchanted you like it…I have only used good ingredients, time and tons of LOVE.

How many twists and turns…

Cuantas vueltas y revueltas

How many twists and turns

 

These are the preliminaries of this week´s post, my dear friends. It is soaked with seawater. I am not sure why and I simply do not care. I have just sat down in front of my laptop and I let my fingers dance freely on its keyboard. How many twists and turns…

How many twists and turns…

I let my EMOTIONS  flowing freely, without thinking… emptying my mind completely. Every time I start writing, I experience that same feeling like when I close my eyes to get in touch with my pure essence; what we called, MEDITATION. Whatever is the topic of my weekly blog, is exclusively the result of my daily EXPERIENCES. Those same experiences that help me defining my own authentic identity, every day a bit more. This identity has not got a face, nor a body, it always remains the same. It does not matter what happens in the outside world: it is like a ship´s mast, always there, standing strong, tirelessly, supporting without fail.

Life comes and goes…The winds that yesterday were blowing in our favour, letting us enjoy a moment of  sweet and quiet sailing while sitting on the deck of the boat, are NOW forcing us to take the helm of our confidence. They force us to sail forward without a route, without knowing where we are heading to, but with the unbreakable faith that at the right time we will reach land. How many twists and turns…

Always ready to learn more

Always ready to learn more, always ready to “revise the lessons learned”. Exactly like that day we enjoyed on the boat, with the right wind, peacefully, knowing the wind was pushing us softly without any surprise. And  when you least expected it, the sunny day turns cloudy. What seemed like a paradise is now fear and uncertainty…How many twists and turns…! 

I was enjoying it so much!  Why is it, that something must always be going wrong? Do not panic, my dear friends. The sea swells, the wind starts to blow and our boat jumps ups and downs but all this is temporary. In the same way life comes to us, inviting to face the challenges and its difficulties and telling we have two ways to deal with it…With DEDICATION AND COURAGE ,which will help us to get away and become stronger, like when we shout out with a vibrant voice of happiness: land in sight!  Or hiding inside the cabin of our comfortable zone, covering our eyes and making sure we will not be able to see in any way the land of salvation when it appears.

Live your own journey 

LIFE IS FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS!There are so many life’s experiences as there are people on earth…I am not trying to persuade you but Is there anything more beautiful than being yourself? Live your own journey, enjoy the sun or protect yourself from it.  If you like water, have a bath but if you do not like it, simply do not.  In the end, after all these twists and turns allow that your soul decides the path. What ever you will decide for yourself is fine. It is correct to get into the harbour as many times as you feel like. As much as to keep on your crossing without stopping, simply because this is what you like the most!

I can assure you, thanks to my uncountable crossings, that if you keep your trust well anchored to your courage, you will see the sun shining again, from the deck of your boat. You will be stronger and every day closer to your new self awareness and self-awakening.  After we have lived an unpleasant situation and managed to distance from that event, leaving out the emotions associated with it, how many times have we said “wow I felt so bad!

On the other side we should think that life put in front of us that same situation as a present, giving us the opportunity to make a different choice, to be able to get out from our old programmings, NOW able to re write your new script, using your most recent knowledge, having neutralised the feelings and distant from the sufferings. This will open the access to a new harbour. SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS

We are free to travel wherever we want

As soon as we are born, each one of us receives a boat as PRESENT, a boat fully equipped with everything  we can possibly imagine and desire. From that moment onward we are free to travel wherever we feel like or simply keep it permanently anchored at the harbour. What ever you decide, make sure YOU ALWAYS MAKE YOUR CHOICE consciously.!

Every single journey should be a new beginning. The lighter the equipment you load on your boat the more you will be able to enjoy it. Are you ready to set off? I wish you a lovely crossing FULL OF FEELING AND LITTLE THINKING. ?

Lights, camera, action…

How are you?I am very pleased to see you here once again, please take a seat , abstract yourself from whatever is not your-self, for this is the moment to share these lines.

The credits of the film start and finally the title “ Forrest Gump”.  Correct, today we will get into the movie moods… Fiction or reality?  We can identify ourselves more in one film than in another, depending on our mental chip, what we can define in a colloquial way as  life experiences.

Lights, Camera, Action…

Even though it may seems weird I had not fully watched this film until yesterday, the very well known and winner of many Oscars “ Forrest Gump”.

I was touched by its simplicity and yet by its complexity. If I were to describe this filmI would do it with one of my long and most used phrase “everything is possible”.

In  a very natural and amazing way, Forest, the protagonist , discovers the superhuman power of his legs in a moment of “survival and defence” when he is able to run away as never before.

Life is always very wise, apparently pushing us to the limits..!

Turn the circumstances around so that every challenge becomes an opportunity

From his mental disability rises his advantage, a mind free from contaminations, envy and evil bringing him multiple opportunities in moments of great valor.  Learning and discovering become his master, giving him the ability  to turn the circumstances around and transforming them from challenges into opportunities. Everyone around him receives some type of benefits  from his generosity. How wonderful to be yourself without the need to pretend and be able to make things easy even when they seem unreachable, living with the dedication and spontaneity of a child. In this world everything is a duality and our protagonist´s innocence is challenged by the cruelty of some other school kids who turn to be great masters for Forrest.  They start to persecute and make fun of him, causing  him to  start running away, breaking the apparent limits of his own legs.  Forest himself is amazed with his new ability which becomes part of his concept in “run Forest, run”

Empowerd by “his new self “and without even realising it, he is now running all the time. It does not matter if he is in a hurry or not, if he is going to school or home, he runs and runs because he feels free.  Maybe because he feels safe. But one day, suddenly, he  stops. In this precise moment he realises, that in reality, he is running away from himself and decides IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO CARRY ON RUNNING ANYMORE!

Ooh Goosh, how I identify myself with all this! I suppose many of you too.

The language of our emotions

I would invite you to analise a bit more our character´s personality and consider the following reflection: who is happier and more successful, the person with emotional or with academic intelligence? My dear friends, would you not agree with me that the teaching of our emotional language should be applied from our tender age?

Forrest is coming from a family defined as disfunctional ( he lives only with his mum and does not even know who his father is) but he counts with his mum´s limitless emotional support, who teaches and  gives him constant examples through her own actions. This makes it possible for her son to grow up, despite his apparent disability, with an impressive emotional intelligence, displayed and applied with authentic mastery all through the movie. Amazing messages showing how  we can navigate peacefully around the world without perishing in the attept.

It is extremely important to be aware of the rules that allow us to navigate by following our inner voice. If you tell me that for you 2+8 is 12, perfect!  This is your reality and I respect it. Maybe you have just created a new formula and you are not even aware of it!

There are as many realities as people

 How many times have we insisted on some matters just to be right!  At this stage of my life is  “crystal clear” to me there are as many realities as people!  If I could be  in your shoes I would walk exactly the way you do! Authentic empathy. Emotional intellingence is always the best master to offer a balanced equation between you and me. I finished to watch the full movie with a heart full of happiness and totally touched by it. 

My most sincere congratulations to Tom Hanks for his role, for his chamaleonic abilities , to be able to show through Forrest´s eyes, such a beautiful soul, such sensibility of character, supposely having a mental disability but with a spirit full of mindful messages, showing  what is really meaningful in this experimental and terrestrial life.I salute and applade with praise all those “ with mental disabilities” living this terrestrial experience and passionate messengers of love, goodness able to show us how to live without perish in the attempt.

Mirror..mirror

Do you like to look yourself in the mirror?

Have you ever thought that the image the mirror reflects back to you, maybe does not match how other people see you?

Mirror..mirror

From my point of view everything is connected: I look myself in the mirror and I judge myself depending on how I feel inside; this can go from “ I look horrible…I do not stand a chance…” to “how beautiful, my Gosh” going to “ totally indifferent, not too hot or too cold”.

You can see how  we judge ourselves in relation to our mental programmings, which at times are hard and  other times flexible. So we can be the victim of our own look or the most supportive admirer.

There is no doubt that as we get older the price we pay for our wrinkles and our side belly fat is very high, especially in the society we are living. I am telling you this because, when I was 35, I was already thinking “ what am I going to do when my first white hair appear? What am I going to do when my side belly fat, even though not too evident, appears slightly over my belt when sitting down? What am I going to do when the result of laughing and crying leave their traces in my face? I reached my 40 already, soon my 50 and everything that comes with them, that duality, part of this world from its origin……holy duality that enriched me with experience and holy side belly fat fortunatly kept under control, but everything is part of it.

Whatever your age

Whatever your age, you will most certainly agree with me that to gain real experience you need to live your emotions intensively; laugh heartily and cry heartily too, for the simple fact you cannot value one without knowing the other..if you do not get burnt now, you will later, I can assure you that. Life challenges you regularly, it almost whispers in your ear “ the choice is in your hand, I will accompany your free will until you decide to AWAKE. If it is not in this life, it will be in another; with a different name; with a different look; with different friends, a different family.  As you have realised, I do believe that, when we leave our body, received momentarily at birth, our energy  ask for new opportunities; so many as  necessary for our soul to remember its purpose and trascend the experience. You are free to agree or disagree, my dear reader.  Now, let me go back to the main focus of this blog. As you can see I have a great ability to disperse my thoughts.

The mirror always reflects back the image we want to see

The mirror always reflects back the image we want to see, being it our conscious or subconscious choice; here we are again with the polarities, can you see it?  We swing from one polarity to another..balancing like a tightrope walker, longing to find that point of equlibrium…

We live in duality

We live in duality, like it or not, and if we want to fill the bucket and the bucket is alredy full to the very top, then, it is necessary to empty its content of “trials and errors” before being able to fill it again with new experiments and accept that the physical, emotional and mental duality is always in everything. We want to loose weight to then gain a few kg back without remorse; laugh to tears  to face the sad moments with more ease; we think about how many more instalments are left to pay off the new iPhone and if we pay it off this month , what a relief! But then we chain ourselves immediately to new instalments to buy the car we long wanted…so we live in duality and with incoherence…amazing human beings elected to surf the seas of life!  ?

I snap my fingers and I appear next to you!

Magic, stars, energy, LOVE…yes, love is the engine of life, love is in the air, love moves everything, love is always the best option and the only answer.  Make yourself comfortable and take a  spectator´s seat…prepare yourself, be ready, done!..let the magic begin!

I snap my fingers and I appear next to you!

I belong to the generation that grew and danced with the Spanish pop of the eighties, among others. .. Ok, I carry on telling you the story. This morning I suddenly found myself humming the  refrain  of a song from the Eighties “ when you believe you can see me going through the wall…lalalala!”  And I am already writing a new post!.. I ask myself : “ what picture could I use to transmit the feelings of this refrain?  I stop, think…but I do not get any inspiration..How peculiar!  I move my look on one side and I start to laugh alone. My eyes are staring at one of my exercise mats. Guess what? I bought it online a few months ago. I desperatly wanted to get an exercise mat with a background full of stars and I found it.. ha ha ha so funny! Who could have possibly told me that, apart from connecting my body daily, I would have used that same mat as an inspiration to write!

Mobile phone in my hand and I freeze that image.  I love it! Thank you universe, you always help and inspire me!

I believe and trust

Back to Alex and Christina´s song, I am pretty sure some of you will remember it, especially those belonging to my generation..at that time I was about 16…Youth, dreams, magic, first loves.. Can you believe now I am living my love as if I were still 16? Yes, luckily this is who I am, with the same desires but with the double of the experience…a perfect equation! I will tell you my secret; I BELIEVE AND TRUST in love to the marrow. I put entusiasm and care in everything I think, say and do, from dawn to dusk. I already know what you are thinking “ a tour de force”.  I am not denying it is, but the choice is between frying my brain with negativity, self-sabotaging messages or taking the time to tame my mind, and believe me, I go with the second option without blinking.

Let us focus on what we know as romantic love, the love of a couple, love that can disappear in a flash  if we are not able to make it human. Love that needs  great dosis of daily care, sweetness, understanding and respect to grow, to evolve, to last in time…Even though this sentence is very used,  it is so true, totally true! : it all starts within yourself.

I flatter myself as I am a great lover of love. I have always believed in it, but not blindly, on the contrary, with my eyes wide open.  Since I opened my eyes wide  and I “awoke”, I could see with clarity the other person´s truth, which is my truth as well. The more I hugged myself the more and better I could hug; the more I  loved myself, the more I could love and it was quality´s love. 

A marvellos moment which brought me a before and an after

I remember very well the moment I decided to work on it and started to cultivate myself actively in all those qualities I wanted to see in my partner .  What a honest mirror to look myself in. A marvellous moment that brought me a before and an after!

That eliminated  completely all those demands I had with myself and as a consequence those same demands I was projecting  in my loved one. From a great abundance I share  a honest love, without any expectation, simply for the pleasure of giving, without calculating how much I give and how much I receive back accordingly.

I evolved from SELF LOVE to  HEALTHY LOVE. LOVE with capital letters, thruthful and profound, keeping alive the condition that “ if I am like this, imperfectly perfect, showing my soul and heart totally naked, would it be possible I could attract and finally hug the real love?

Love does exist!

And it did arrive…and we recognized one another…easily, like love is when it is real LOVE, magical.  Secretly I can tell you I had a lot of “signs from the universe”, those types that are all around us constantly, but our free will decides either to listen to them or to drown them.

My intuition was leaving  “bread crumbs “ along the way, as Tom Thumb did..Until one night in April we met…our souls recognised each other instantly, my whole body was vibrating from head to toes. In the snap of a finger  it appeared next to me!

Even though there was not any certainty we would have seen each other again, I was so grateful to life because it gave me the opportunity to prove I was totally right LOVE DOES EXIST!…It was then that life said YES…and we are happy ever since.  Do you know the secret ? …Every day we build together our palace with dreams and stars, we fly high together, yet we keep our own individual essence and we create every single day our bespoke garden of Eden.  This story is based on real colourful facts and it carries on with new chapters day after day.

I hope you have enjoyed this  and I encourage you to build your own story with your eyes wide open.  LOTS OF KISSES!  ?

Dream endlessly…because dreams are the meaning of life

Get your favourite pillow and open yourself to the immensity of “everything is possible”…close your eyes and be transported into the magic world of your  dreams…

I follow my ritual every day and today is no exception; I get up, I immerse myself and observe with joy my interior conscientious space, I have breakfast and make the bed.  While I am pulling one of the bed sheet, for a moment, I am taken back to my tender ages, when my mother used to tell me “ the order in your bedroom is the order in your head…” Do you feel the same as me,that  everything sets off well at the start of the day when you have made your bed? While I am giving the finishing touch to the quilt and put in order all the cushions you can see in the picture, my little inner voice whispers “ this bed saveguards many dreams that came true…so many dreams turned into reality while I was sleeping here!

Dream endlessly…because dreams are the meaning of life

I run to get my mobile because I want to capture a picture of my bed… the plot of my new post is in production!

Life, dreams…I wander..my enthusiastic mind reaches out to the Baroque period, Calderon De la Barca and his theatrical “ life is a dream”, which coincides 1000×1000 with the focus of what these lines want to trasmit; free will vs destiny, plenitude  and freedom of the human being vs social dictations.

I leave the following thoughts in this page and I invite you to analise them

Would you say dreams are repressed passions crying out to see the light and become reality?Do you think dreams give us clear messages to re-set our compass, to re-define the direction of our life´s journey?Are we the creators of our destiny?From my life experience and based on my observation I answer with a definitive YES..this is how I feel and live it..

Has it ever happened to you that you had a dream so real, so beautiful, while dozing, half asleep and half awake and you told yourself “ make it last a bit longer…”?

Of course life has two faces. This is why, with lot of love, we should give some space to those dreams we define as less pleasant, and certainly they are so, or at least this is how we perceive them.

Those dreams, apparently without any logical sense, where people and situations are mixed upside down, are infallible indicators that our subconscious want to tell us somenthing…a  way out to a better reality.

Those dreams we define as “bad dreams  or nightmares” ( just consider how we referr and judge them) bring to the surface fears and pains covered deep down in our BEING.  My dear travelling fellows take special care to those dreams that repeat themselves again and again.. I can assure you that if you have the perseverance and the willingness to remember them and open yourselves to THE CONSCIENCE THAT KNOWS EVERYTHING, you will discover, little by little, the meaning of their message; slowly , slowly discovering the origin of your  wounds…the same ones that refrain all of us from reaching our highest desires.

We are here to write our best “ theatrical play”, not only to leave it written in a booklet or lost in a drawer…Let us accept with happiness and courage the challenge of this terrestrial physical experience, given to us as a present, like the scriptwriter of our existence!

Open your eyes to the dreams!

Open the eyes to dreams.. live, laugh, cry, get excited, feel fear, doubt…look for the steps that will lead to your reality, the one you want to experience.. at the end what is a dream and what is a reality? Who decides it ?

In my humble opinion and if this can bring you some benefits, LIFE IS A DREAM..as Calderon used to say. The day I give up dreaming will be the day I will have completed my life´s cycle, this is how I feel it..In the meantime the curtains of the theatre will open up every morning. This is how I see life, a magical awakening, full of dreams as real as I allow them to be.

This confinment I am living and have lived, has been a gift which helped me to re-structure my life, my dreams and my new direction. I can confirm that  our FEARS are the only distance between dreams and reality.. I embrace them and push myself, once more, to reach my best version.

I decide to make of BALANCE-IN® my life, I bet on it, I  keep on DREAMING AND CREATING.. I will  go on…Are you coming with me?
