The Art of Influence
Secrets to complaining effectively, motivating loved ones, and getting what you want without being a jerk. Illustrations by Lou Brooks Babies and psychopaths have one thing in common: They're excellent at getting what they want. Many of us could learn a thing or two from these creatures, tantrums and dirty tactics notwithstanding. But for some, grabbing the brass ring is a constant source of stress and confusion. Were it uniformly advantageous to be aggressive, timid, positive, or negative in pursuit of one's goal, evolution would have selected for only such types. Complain to Win —Not to Feel Worse Kvetch, Bitcher, Debbie Downer: No one likes a chronic complainer, and we've got multiple derogatory terms to prove it. Complaining at inappropriate times (when other people are in the spotlight, for example, or when they are focused on issues bigger than yours) can make you look selfish and could further prevent you from being heard.

The Art of Listening to the Still, Small Voice Within | A Flourishing Life
“Every time you don’t follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness.” Shakti Gawain I saw the film “Crazy Heart” yesterday. This got me thinking. The “Yes!” Let’s begin our exploration of this important topic by looking at what it is like to know something in your bones. I was recently speaking to someone who was deliberating about a decision. Isn’t this something we all know – this deep inner certainty? Listening and Turning Away Spiritual teacher Adyashanti says that truth is always speaking to us. We can make our way to that still, small voice of truth by recognizing what makes us turn away from it. It is not the voice in our heads telling us what we should or shouldn’t do.It is not a story justifying our actions.It may not look logical.It is not what we are propelled to do out of fear.Or out of neediness.It cannot be discerned when we are clouded by strong emotions. Consider Jean from “Crazy Heart.” Discover the Still, Small Voice

Écriture intuitive : 2 exercices pour débuter - Inexploré digital
Thérapeutique, créative, inspirée… L’écriture intuitive est une méthode douce pour dialoguer avec son âme et les mondes subtils. Dans cet extrait de l’ouvrage Pratiquez l’écriture intuitive de Melanie Chereau, paru aux éditions Leduc éso, découvrez deux exercices pratiques pour commencer votre propre rituel d’écriture connectée. Pratique n° 1 : le rituel Le rituel d’écriture est à mettre en place avant chaque séance. Décidez d’un moment où vous savez que vous ne serez pas dérangé pendant un assez long moment, surtout au début. Assurez-vous que vous êtes bien relaxé ; pour cela, préparez-vous : faites une promenade, prenez un bain, faites une séance courte de yoga… une activité qui vous vide la tête, si possible sans écran. Inspirez-vous : regardez ou préparez votre tableau d’inspiration en y collant des images belles et des photos d’êtres chers, de maîtres ou de dieux. Effectuez une courte méditation les yeux fermés et le corps relâché. Pratique n° 2 : l’écriture en elle-même
