  Look to my face. I am getting old each second of the life I live. Each instant of time passed, my experience grows. Tell me what happens with modern society, the study of ancient knowledge, and ancient practises. Please, explain to me in a proper scientific foundation, with all the evidences and proofs supported by the use of mathematics. As I have said, I am getting old but not brainless. When we face a negative situation the approach is clear: we must deal with it. We must face it with love, kindness, and compassion. With an open heart and courage required to change the expected outcome. We can do that by ourselves, as it is shown in ancient knowledge about mind training; a kind of training which is object of study and theme for a bunch of research papers in the last decades. Buddha has spread out the knowledge about the experience and observation of suffering, which is fundamental to understand how we could get rid of it; how we could get out of our own samsara’s bubble. The k...

  Sometimes we just need to relax while we are working on something. It is like a holiday period within the work journey: we pause, we relax, we feel good, and we start to work again no matter what is going on the surroundings. Let’s leverage our own well being right away from wherever we are. We may call it the spirit of wellness. A lot of us put the spirit of wellness aside while on our daily routines, mainly within dark periods and negativity around. We dismiss self-care and self-respect, which means, we let body and mind training inside a TODO box instead of an ONGOING practise. We feel discomfort, our body changes with the weeks of no nurture, and our mind embraces negativity with its full lack of colours. When we put ourselves in that low situation, it is a party for people whom want us down. We have the tendency to lose kindness, compassion, and the attitude of care: both self and towards others. We may also think there is something broken within us; something we need to fix...

Salute to life. Salute to longevity. Salute to you whom stand up in the middle of the darkness to spread love and compassion all around. Salute to the innocence of a child, which [by nature] does not practise discriminatory actions. Salute to parents whom promote the practise of kindness, compassion, and cooperation; parents whom are fearless in the defence of child rights and against child abuse of any means, to include paedophile. Salute to teenagers whom are able to stand up and walk away from bullying, and any promotion of discrimination against them or others around. Salute to teenagers whom embrace happiness on the difficult times of social distancing. Salute to all governments whom discrimination of any kind, practised by no matter who, is not tolerated, which implies the application of the laws fearlessly, in order to offer conditions of social development to every citizen. Salute to you whom is reading this message, and is a beautiful soul on this beautiful world c...

There is always the right tool to use in order to make things done for our well being. We should be conscious to listen to our heart, to trust our intuition, and to believe we are able to choose a tool, which is capable to keep the integrity of our body and mind, as long as it also enables improvements on them. We all are free by nature. We have the rights to free will and speech to decide, and to speak up, about anything related to ourselves. We decide if we like coffee or tea, bread or cake, juice or milk, white or black chocolate. We have to use such decision power to our favour. It is time to make a decision about our lives and what we want it to be. A meaningful life, where happiness is all around; or a suffering life, where sadness is on the surroundings to remember the old times of slavery. What do you decide? No need to answer it out and loud. The dream of a happy life is within all of us. Everyone on the planet likes to smile and to experience joyful moments. It is...

Look to the picture. Think how hard is to get a good wave to surf? Think another time about how hard is to enjoy the wave if you have accumulated a lot of tension to catch that? Welcome to the road of inner balance. To be on the right balance is something crucial in the activity of surfing. So it is to achieve inner balance, self-respect and inner peace. Surfists achieve the right balance by training; by repetition. We achieve the right balance by the same means. When we see a balanced person within an awful situation, we may think that person has something special. We may think we have some problems. We may think about what is the secret of that person? The answer is training and repetition, which lead to self-conditioning. There is no magic pill to achieve inner balance, self-respect and inner peace. The only way is by training and repetition. It is a lifetime commitment.  The universe is impermanent and we have to be in constant training to be able to deal with unexp...

Colours. One different colour for each distinct moment. A different colour to represent a specific role we may assume on our daily activities. Multiple colours, same person, and the beauty of life represented. In the course of the week each one of us is a hard worker. A worker with responsibility to get the job done. There is no time to complain.  We have to be mindful and brave to deal with kind and obnoxious people. We have to be kind with ourselves to acknowledge we are not perfect; to accept we may fail sometimes. It's a shame to be ashamed with no blame to be blamed. As a sidekick journey there is the life of a superhero. A parent whom cares about his/her children. A husband whom cares about a wife, and a wife whom cares about a husband. Both [husband and wife] see an exponential increase of their happiness with individual happiness and success of the corresponding partner. A family connected in harmony with the universe, where happiness is the common super power t...

We should set our mind like a calm and pacific lake, where disturbances outside cannot trespass the borders of our self-respect shield, in order to agitate the inner peace achieved. The more we are exposed to awful situations with a conscious attitude, the more we are able to understand the source of happiness is within ourselves. It is clear as crystal some people around us has the desire and the intention to put us down no matter the costs, and the means required. To see  us in the experience of difficulties, not to grow but intentionally and deceptively to make us fall apart. It sounds and resonates badly to think another human being, which has the same capacity to think as we have, could be capable of such awful attitude. However, the newspapers [and others communication media] are full of examples of cruelty and torture practised against another human beings, both physically and psychologically. We have no idea about the extension of that problem, as those examples...
