The Dalai Lama’s Daily Routine and Information Diet by Maria Popova “To understand the Dalai Lama … perhaps it’s most useful to see him as a doctor of the soul.” I think a great deal about the difference between routine and ritual as a special case of our more general and generally trying quest for balance — ripped asunder by the contrary longings for control and whimsy, we routinize daily life in order to make its inherent chaos more manageable, then ritualize it in order to imbue its mundanity with magic, which by definition violates the predictable laws of the universe. I suspect that our voracious appetite for the daily routines of cultural icons is fueled by a deep yearning to glean some insight on and practical help with this impossible balancing act, from people who seem to have mastered it well enough to lead happy, productive, creatively fruitful, and altogether remarkable lives. Perhaps the most unexpected yet brilliant master of this elusive modern equilibrium is the Dalai Lama. The Dalai Lama by Manuel Bauer Iyer writes:

Northern Exposure « ~ The Art Of Change ~ Posted by carolom on May 11, 2008 I somehow missed watching Northern Exposure in the 90’s and have had the delight of discovering it many years after the final episode. Sal was a fan of the show and his daughters remember watching the show with dad when they were young. So I was pleased to find that the Adelaide library has the full six series, 110 epsiodes…and for the last few weeks have watched from episode one through to the final, moving scene on the last show (see video clip “Our Town” below.) The creators of the show were members of the Esalen Institute. The influence of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung and the interplay between the seen and unseen realms along with Native American mythology and magic are unsurpassed by any other television series in my humble opinion..

Kim Anami | Bodacious Life, Love and Sex: Get Some! Putting the Dalai Lama's Lessons to the Test | Leon Stuparich Overwhelmingly, people say they love the Dalai Lama because of his integrity. But what does that mean? And how can we live in the same way? How can we concretely learn from his teachings? When I shot a documentary on the Dalai Lama, the people I interviewed about his message constantly expressed how honest and truthful he is. How there is a lack of duality in his message. My first morning back from my 2-week long pilgrimage for peace, I am buying morning coffees when I realize: I messed up. Photo Credit: Leon Stuparich I wanted seeing my kids to be the first thing I did when I returned. As I walk to my regular coffee cart, I find myself walking slower than usual. Maybe it's the contrast of walking this route before and after the pilgrimage, maybe it's the act of spending money again. As I stand in the queue for coffee, I realize that the explanation that "we're pilgrims on a penniless journey" is no longer required. Your story is your ego. So, what makes up a whole person?

25 Life Changing Lessons to Learn from Buddha “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.” ~ Buddha There are so many beautiful, powerful and life changing lessons I have learned from studying Buddhism and from reading many of Buddha’s quotes. And today I want to share 25 of these beautiful lessons with you. Here are 25 Life Changing Lessons from Buddha: “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.” “A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.” “A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.” “The way is not in the sky. “Words have the power to both destroy and heal. “You only lose what you cling to.”

How people follow Epicurus' philosophy today Who was Epicurus? Epicurus, pictured on the right in Raphael’s School of Athens, was a Greek philosopher who lived from 341 BC to 270 BC, and who established a philosophical commune called the Garden in Athens, where he and his followers practiced and lived their philosophy as a way of life. A sign hanging above the entrance to the Garden said: ‘Stranger, here you will do well to tarry. Here our highest good is pleasure’. So the Epicureans were atheists? Not exactly. How then should we live? Well, there are no absolute and eternal ‘shoulds’ in the Epicurean universe, because there is no divine providence, no cosmic law of justice. How can we pursue pleasure as rationally as possible? Like the other philosophies of the Socratic tradition, Epicureans believed that what causes humans suffering is our false beliefs. Epicurus said that, for each belief or action, we should consider the pleasure it will lead to, and the pain, and then ‘measure the one against the other’. Sure. Havi Carel OK.

Medicina holística La medicina holística, es una terapia alternativa/complementaria[nota 1] (aunque en muchas ocasiones se la categoriza como pseudociencia) que se basa en los poderes de sanación naturales del organismo, las formas en que los tejidos interaccionan y la influencia del medio ambiente[cita requerida]. Emplea tratamientos tanto modernos como tradicionales. Tiene aplicación tanto en seres humanos como animales en general. Al ser humano se le considera como una unidad: cuerpo, mente y espíritu. El enfoque pretende tratar al paciente y no a su enfermedad. Tipos[editar] Ésta está directamente relacionada con la medicina homeopática, acupuntura, medicina física, fitoterapia, medicina nutracéutica, terapia floral y aromaterapia. Definiciones[editar] Homeopatía: terapia con base en la creencia de que determinadas sustancias, diluidas de forma exponencial hasta casi desaparecer, tienen efectos terapéuticos. Problemas que trata[editar] Notas[editar] Referencias[editar] Véase también[editar]
