How to Stay Calm in a Raging World: Observing our Anger

Newman’s talk was part of a Tricycle series that presented perspectives from Buddhist thinkers and scholars. How do we stay calm in a raging world? Most of us think that we need the world around us to change in order for us to change. We think that if the people in our life were more responsive to us or if politicians were thinking about things in the right way or doing the things we wanted we wouldn’t have to be so angry. But from the perspective of Buddhism, staying calm comes from healing our own anger. A guide to twim. Historical Background of Buddhism.

Flow (psychology)

In positive psychology, flow, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting loss in one's sense of space and time. Flow shares many characteristics with hyperfocus. However, hyperfocus is not always described in a positive light. Some examples include spending "too much" time playing video games or getting side-tracked and pleasurably absorbed by one aspect of an assignment or task to the detriment of the overall assignment.

Just as with the conditions listed above, these conditions can be independent of one another. Ideas similar to flow have been recognized throughout history and across cultures. Schaffer (2013) proposed 7 flow conditions: Les Yoga sutras de Patanjali.

It can be used in various contexts to mean many different things. In this post, I have chosen some important Sanskrit words which may help you understand the origin of meditation and spirituality.Believe it or not: More than 60% of word roots of English are from Greek and Latin and 90% of English scientific terms are from Greek. You need to Google and find out. Some say it is 56% and some say it is more than 80-90% of English words in the dictionary are from other languages.

Meditation and SPIRITuality terms of Greek and Latin are derived from the Indian language Sanskrit including the words 'meditation' and 'spirit/spirituality.' People who read meditation and spiritual books written in English or written by foreign authors are bound to misunderstand not only the terms "meditation & spirituality" but also many or all other terms associated with them due to wrong translation, misinterpretation, or misunderstanding by the writers/authors/translators.

The underlying idea is that since our mind is the way it is at least in part because of our evolutionary past, evolutionary theory can aid our understanding not only of the human body, but also of the human mind.

The latter is a narrowly circumscribed adaptationist research program which regards the human mind as an integrated collection of cognitive mechanisms that guide our behavior and form our universal human nature.
