We should workout our body to keep up our good health while practising our mind training. The body is the vessel controlled by our own mind. Keeping the body in good health conditions is keeping the maintenance of the vessel, which is much more easy to control than one with health problems. It does not mean we cannot control our body and mind while facing physical impairments but the stronger the connection between body and mind, the easier it is to face darkness in our daily life.

Being conscious is indeed feeling the strong pumping sensation of the heart inside. Working out our body is what complements, strengths, and supports our mind training, enabling us to endure the full spectrum of situations we have to face in our daily life. The moment we start to workout evolved by the practise of Yoga, it is the moment we realise how wonderful and beneficial Yoga is to our body, reflecting and influencing our mind training as well. We should experience the practise of Yoga by ourselves to draw our own conclusions about the subject, as it is a personal experience with direct benefits to the self.

We could ask a fisherman: Is it not going fishing on a boat in good conditions, with the maintenance on track, much better than using a boat with problems? Every conscious fisherman would answer yes to this question, as it is indeed easier and less challenging. It does not mean we should not go out fishing with a boat that needs some kind of maintenance, but we should be conscious to evaluate if the boat condition is enough to support the difficulties offered by the environment at the present moment. Working out our body is keeping the maintenance of our boat on track, offering a well-established foundation to our mind training.

We could also ask a computer scientist: Is it not developing software with a computer in good conditions much better than using a computer with problems? Yes, it is indeed. However, facing problems in the hardware/software of a computer while developing programs could make us realise something unique, and personal, about the relationship between the machine and the mind on top of the machine. The moment we get conscious to identify we are experiencing a problem, it is the moment we realise we need adaptation in the way we develop our software, as the problem we are experiencing could not be fixed at the present moment. Adaptation is what we need in our body and mind training as well, enabling us to face the unique characteristics of the environment we are inserted into at the present moment. We should be able to adapt or it would be much more challenging to develop our training.

I do not get the relationship between body and mind training. One may say. Let us reflect about that comment. Imagine we should lift up a heavy weight from the ground using the strength of our body in the best way we can. What do we need to answer that question?

The moment we realise the importance in the connection between body and mind, it is the moment we start strengthening that connection consciously and deeply.

Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

  It’s important we get prepared to apply defensive manoeuvres any time, anywhere, and at any circumstances. Although the majority of us live in an environment where internal conflicts and wars are somehow not so close, dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive people and behaviours requires us to be ready for facing and dealing with anything before us. That’s why it’s important to learn how to survive outside civilisation, where danger and threats aren’t limited to facing and dealing with minds in suffering. Inside a Jungle, a desert, or any other place where traces of civilisation are little or non-existent, the restrainment of resources (e.g., food and fresh water), as well as the presence of other animals in the surroundings (e.g., spiders, big snakes, jaguars, lions, tigers, and so on)---which may see us as a prey—become big concerns far more urgent than dealing with dishonest, dishonoured, and deceptive presence of minds in suffering in the surroundings. Thus, the mo...

  When our purpose is genuine and crystal clear, there’s nothing that can stop us to attain that goal, not even a strong source of negativity surrounding us. The secret is always on our motivation to thrive, and therefore, the motivation to trespass any barrier imposed, no matter the circumstances. We can think of it as a serious game; a game of life where we’ve no additional spare lives, which implies that every move counts either towards our goal or backwards to somewhere else. When we get used to so much negativity in the surroundings, and start realising it was there for much longer than we may be aware of, we start questioning everything. It’s in this darkest time that we need to look deep within to realise and understand we aren’t what the outside may project about us but what we feel of getting totally aligned with our love nature and fulfilling the mission we’re assigned when we were born. Let’s forget about others and focus on making sure love spreads all around, even if, ...

The Neo-Nazi ideology is already deep in the roots of our current society, and as part of our culture and way of life, it’s dictating and conditioning what people see as normal behaviour in some social spaces. The simple act of gossiping with the goal of imposing additional difficulties in the life of another is a Neo-Nazi influence that passes almost unnoticed to our naked eyes. Stopping and diminishing those behaviours related to Neo-Nazi ideologies is the way of facing darkness and dealing with the negative conditioning we’re subjected to in a conscious and meaningful way. No darkness has power to obfuscate the natural light we’ve deep within. We just need to find a way of cultivating and nurturing our light to be influenced and conditioned by darkness no more. Suicide is not a way out. We need to learn how to live a meaningful life with the duty of facing darkness and dealing with its presence in the surroundings in a conscious and meaningful way. That’s the path towards our person...
