Text of the page (random words):
being answered or scoring and being served a few seconds later in either case the game will continue until the end whether we answer back or not is entirely up to us breaking this chain is what jesus meant when he talked about giving the other cheek in a hurtful situation whether thought or spoken or done by you to another or by another towards you or by you towards yourself be determined not to hurt but to act to stop this hurting when another hurts us it is often due to the hurts that he has suffered in the past understanding this creates within us a distance which allows us to act perceiving the whole situation with wide caring eyes we try to stop it with as little pain as possible for all involved everything we do or don t do contributes a little bit in the making of this peaceful place we all crave for even if it would be really wonderful if we could all go with food supplies and share a few moments with the hungry there are people sitting next to us at this very moment who could use a little comforting people who suffer discrimination on a daily basis people who go through hell because of an addiction lonely people sad people people in need by offering our shoulder and opening our heart to someone by not answering to the calling of violence by breaking the circle of hatred by learning how to really give we are already making this world a happier one rather than this being an imposed rule that makes us feel guilty every time we break it non harming is more of a goal an intention as citizens of the world we take part in every decision and it is all in our hands we really need to try to make it our responsibility to avoid the shedding of tears posted by justme at 7 19 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday january 6 2012 marvelous and dangerous tools today i woke up to find both my twitter and facebook walls covered with a myriad of posts by several different yoga institutions expressing their discomfort towards an article see here published in the new york times titled how can yoga wreck your body and even if i seem to agree to some extent with many insights given by mr glenn black i also think that the whole publication is highly biased sensationalistic and somehow manipulative in my opinion the article introduces the topic in a neutral fashion but ends up satanizing the whole practice and painting it like the perfect recipe for disaster as a result i would like to shed some light on the issue with my very limited experience on yoga the first thing that is necessary to clear is that yoga can be indeed a very dangerous practice that is a fact that any seasoned practitioner should know and every teacher must keep in mind any respectable teacher would never disagree on that yoga is as dangerous as sharp scissors scissors are a very useful tool but you would never dare to run with them nor would you scratch your back or poke someone s eye with them any useful or powerful tool is as harmful as the benefits it produces think of nuclear power fire medication and even food getting injured or not will depend mainly on you and the use you give to your practice i remember a few months ago when i was practicing with my study group back in utrecht after our lunch break my teacher called us back into the room to address this very same issue she kept repeating that yoga was a sharp tool which could be very harmful she emphasized that teachers should always be aware of their students physical and psychological limitations as there are parts of the yoga experience which are not for everyone even meditation which is usually regarded as inoffensive should be approached with a great deal of care by people who suffer from certain psychiatric conditions and teachers should never encourage their students to leave their medication in summary the ny times article was not breaking news there are however a few simple points to take into consideration when practicing yoga 1 self assesment i would be lying if i said that i started yoga just for the sake of it most of us get initiated into this beautiful practice for the wrong reasons such as being fitter or improving our health still you have to keep in mind that yoga requires discipline there are many injuries in yoga which come from practicing inconsistently the real yoga happens outside the studio and beyond the mat so if you are just looking for an alternative to spin class or aerobics then maybe you should look for something else 2 teachers there is a never ending list of teachers of many different personalities and different schools of yoga some of them have years of experience while others are newbies in sharing their little knowledge teaching yoga is a great responsibility and requires vocation not everyone is cut to be a yoga teacher and it is important that you identify this one of the first things that you need to do is establishing a positive connection between yourself and the teacher if the teacher is too sweet too talkative too tough too methodical or too soft for your taste then you should probably find another one there are many things to consider when choosing a teacher is that teacher concerned about your safety is the class too crowded and the teacher is too busy to pay attention to everyone is it clear to you the way the teacher delivers feedback and instructions the body is a reflection of many daily habits you can see quite a lot about your teacher s style through his or her body keep in mind though that there are no perfect bodies one last thing to think about is your teacher s commitment to the yoga practice a gym teacher who knows a bit about stretching is not a yoga teacher look for someone with a complete background in yoga who teaches something which he fully understands if you are not liking a teacher do not stay until you are injured you are not bound to any person 3 each body is very different it is very important to realize that there is no such thing as a complete asana as those beautiful pictures that we see in yoga books there is nothing written when it comes to how far into the posture you should go as long as you listen to your body simply lifting your nose from the ground in cobra pose as a beginner is exactly the same as going deep into a backbend also there will always be things which your body won t be able to do and some others you will find much easier than most of the people this may be due to several anatomical variations which we might not be aware of some people have larger tarsal bones which won t allow their ankles to produce a deep flexion and some shoulder joints are not able to fully rotate personally i have a condition in which one of my sacral vertebrae is not fused and works as an extra lumbar vertebra i found out about this when i developed sciatic pain as a result of an irresponsibly deep and messy forward bend nowadays i am very careful with forward bends it s ok if i can just tilt a few degrees while the lady next to me would be able to lick the floor if she wanted to an advanced yoga practice is unrelated to how far you go but how in your body you are going into a painful place is not being in your body 4 follow the rules even if the concept of a full asana varies from body to body t here are certain things which your body must do in each pose for example when practicing uttanasana standing forward bend many people seem to think that the goal is touching the floor no matter what that is completely wrong as the goal of uttanasana is only to stretch the hamstrings by taking the sitting bones towards the ceiling it is completely irrelevant if you can only touch your knees the floor or even put your head on your shins if you are not following the basic rules of uttanasana then you are not doing uttanasana when sitting in meditation the instruction is to sit with a neutral back you might choose to use a chair or the wall as long as you are not sagging or collapsing your back the shape and the form of the posture are not important only how well you understand the rules of each asana 5 individual practice serious yoga teachers tend to be insistent about a personal practice at home practicing at home even if it s just a few minutes a day is very important do keep in mind that you must never attempt to go into advanced practices without the help and supervision of a teacher take it easy at home do not try to do the same stuff you do in class in addition to this when you are in class try to think of it as a personal practice done in group the only thing that matters is what you are doing do not get competitive it doesn t look right and that will only lead you to a big injury 6 advanced stuff yoga is an everchanging practice which is progressively constructed i don t believe anyone can master yoga as such there are postures breathing techniques and meditations which should only be approached by people who have built the foundations of those practices while we should always face our fears we should never try something we don t feel ready to do again listening to your body is key sometimes just watching others or going into the preparatory steps of an asana is just as fun and illustrative as the asana itself 7 analyzing your practice the pain caused by an injury and the pain you feel after workout are very different and we must learn to distinguish between them when your practice is over assess your body there should be no tensions or painful sensations places like the knees other joints the lower back and the neck should never hurt this will be the best feedback to you yoga must be a tool for improvement not something that causes you distress 8 soft eyes and empty mind one great thing i learned from one of my teachers is the concept of soft eyes and empty mind when we are too worried or tense it is possible to see it in our faces relaxing the eyes in order to have what dona holleman calls periphereal vision you won t be able to focus a point but you will have a broader picture of the world and unwinding your mind will take you to a more conscious practice in which you will be more in your body more able to follow the rules and less prone to injuries each and everyone of us has a handful with our bodies it is only our responsibility to take care of it when in class listening to your body following instructions and being conscious of your limits will greatly reduce the chance of being injured still sometimes there are accidents and unforeseen situations which might get us hurt but this can happen in any place too i really wish everyone who practices yoga to have a very pleasant and responsible practice free of worry i hope nobody gets lost in the shapes and forms of the asanas and strives for a deeper understanding of their bodies do not fear yoga as yoga is just a tool fear what you make out of it posted by justme at 10 52 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday december 31 2011 of old and new waters it is already a year that i was writing something similar from the city of utrecht in the netherlands it is amazing how fast time goes by and it is also amazing to realize how many things it takes with it and how many things it brings along it is as if we were swimmers in a river of time i like to think of time as a river in continuous flow even if for some this sounds cheesy and as a river time is never the same and neither are we the same swimmers very often do we think that we are skilled swimmers and that we master the currents only to be thrashed about and smashed by treacherous waters it is then when the river can take some of the stuff we were holding on to some other times along our way we find other very pleasant swimmers who want to tag along our course in short swimming through time is quite a life changing adventure for me 2011 was quite a year i had the chance of spending the first half studying in the netherlands staying completely on my own in such a country where i knew nobody was a very enriching experience and made me realize quite a lot about myself i am certainly not the same person who was writing something similar a year ago i do believe however that everyday is full of newness of opportunities of blessings to be discovered and we should not wait until january 1 in order to commit with something still as a society we have marked this day as a reminder of how far we have swum and i do believe it is a great moment for us to stop for a while and look around and question ourselves during 2011 many remarkable changes occurred in my life i had to face some of my worst fears by myself and i had to say goodbye to a very important person but also i met new people some good some bad and some excellent i learned many great things i had second chances and i experienced feelings that i have never felt before here i am a few hours away from this thing which we call the end of 2011 and still alive many blessings i had before are still with me and i happened to receive some great new blessings throughout the year i don t know what i did to have them i really can t answer why me all i can do is thank god for giving me these opportunities and promise that i will try to the best of my ability to make the best out of them i am also a bit nervous just like many of us about what might be comming in this wild river and while it is impossible to know the one thing to do is to surrender to hold god s hand tightly and trust that we are built to resist the worst of the rapids on this river it is for sure none of us swimmers are the same swimmers as the year before that is why i want to thank each and every single one of you people for contributing in any dimension on making me who i am today i wish that every single one of you and every person on earth has one great 2012 full of awareness of health and the best blessings from god we are all responsible for that since we swim on the same waters let s try to make of 2012 the best year so far for every single person let s be catalysts of a world with less sadness one tear less in the world during 2012 will already mean an enormous progress posted by justme at 6 07 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday december 23 2011 the things in your food this week i decided i would change the tone of the usual pitch of the blog to address a topic which seems to be interesting for many people even if we all have our very own preferences and beliefs when it comes to our food choices most of us look for good quality options unfortunately food quality is a very elusive concept as it is often confused with consumer preference while food quality is influenced to some extent by consumers preference food quality involves much more variables which may be invisible for most of us such factors include the processes used to stabilize the product and extend its shelf life the additives ingredients and nutrients which might be added to give the product certain properties al...
