Yoga got to do with politics?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple. The path of Yoga is a path on the search for truth, compassion and unity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yoga should permeate all aspects of your life, as it is a way of living, much broader than a physical activity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you cannot close your eyes when it is clear that politicians tell one thing today in Portugal and another thing tomorrow in the European Union quarters. You cannot ignore when decisions are made behind closed doors, in Portugal and in the European Union, serving the interests of a few major companies with thirst for power and profit without regarding the most basic values of life, like food sovereignty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb8sZR-bI6o"&gt;On the Portuguese political scenario, I advise you to see the speech of  the Leader of the Portuguese Bar Association (Lawyers Official Association) who says "Corruption has spread to all levels of the Portuguese State"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could only find it in Portuguese, but it would be very important to have an English version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.no-patents-on-seeds.org/en/recent-activities/open-letter-members-european-parliament-and-european-commission"&gt;On the European Union behind doors, I advise you to get informed about the issue of Patents on Animals and Plants.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 18th April the European Union intends to approve an European Directive on creating a monopoly of seeds for agriculture - so that the only allowed seeds will be the ones sold by a small number of companies. This Directive puts our biodiversity at stake and the farmers on the hands of these companies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-17064861510032402?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/17064861510032402/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2011/04/yoga-and-politics.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/17064861510032402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/17064861510032402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2011/04/yoga-and-politics.html' title='Yoga and Politics'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RvgKruytiNc/TZbz1CbOA5I/AAAAAAAAAPY/Xl9cjEwa34I/s72-c/images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-558157228618302409</id><published>2010-11-20T18:23:00.007Z</published><updated>2011-03-05T10:07:16.873Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ENGLISH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Auto-conhecimento'/><title type='text'>Why Equality is Better for Everyone</title><content type='html'>When I read a good book and find in it ideas that should be spread I just cant help it but to share the information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Spirit Level – Why Equality is Better for Everyone&lt;/span&gt;, by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, takes a wide range of social studies in order to assess inequality and its implications in modern societies across the globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/TOgT8tNIE4I/AAAAAAAAANE/tOWNO-oS3rE/s1600/look_stupid.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/TOgT8tNIE4I/AAAAAAAAANE/tOWNO-oS3rE/s320/look_stupid.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541701275127124866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Am I looking stupid?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“By the standards of any previous society, we have become highly self-conscious, obsessed with how we appear to others, worried that we might come across as unattractive, boring, stupid or whatever, and constantly trying to manage the impressions we make. And the core of our interactions with strangers is our concern at the social judgments and evaluations they might make: how do they rate us, did we give a good account of ourselves?

O que mais me deliciou foram as pessoas, a comunicação&lt;br /&gt;e afectividade dentro desta comunidade que se junta uma vez por&lt;br /&gt;ano. Mas o Andanças não morre aqui, permeia a vida daqueles que&lt;br /&gt;partilham experiências, danças, vidas, durante esta semana fora da&lt;br /&gt;vida, e tão vivida, que é o Andanças.&lt;br /&gt;Quem acompanha o Andanças há alguns anos conta que há quem&lt;br /&gt;tenha começado na Produção e passado para a Animação com as&lt;br /&gt;crianças, há quem se tenha tornado bailarino e criado uma rede de&lt;br /&gt;contactos que levaram a uma mudança de carreira.&lt;br /&gt;O Andanças não morre aqui.&lt;br /&gt;Ainda hoje uma colega da redacção do jornal me dizia “O que será&lt;br /&gt;da minha vida depois do Andanças?” Não sei, a mudança pode ser&lt;br /&gt;rápida ou ir crescendo dentro de nós.&lt;br /&gt;Nós somos seres que necessitam de constantes trocas com o exterior&lt;br /&gt;e quando estamos em terreno fértil de partilha e afectividade sentimo-nos&lt;br /&gt;florescer e as nossas potencialidades desabrocham.&lt;br /&gt;Comunidade e Individualidade é possível (e necessária) para sermos&lt;br /&gt;felizes. É o individualismo que nos afasta dos outros e de nós mesmos.&lt;br /&gt;O Andanças é uma oportunidade de estarmos a viver lado a lado,&lt;br /&gt;diariamente, durante uma semana. É também uma oportunidade&lt;br /&gt;de pensarmos como podemos viver mais em comunidade no nosso&lt;br /&gt;dia-a-dia, durante o ano. E, por último, uma oportunidade de reflexão&lt;br /&gt;sobre um estilo de vida mais sustentável a nível ambiental, em que&lt;br /&gt;o lixo não tem de ser encarado como tal e pode ser um recurso para&lt;br /&gt;outras criações.&lt;br /&gt;O Andanças reforçou, sem dúvida, a minha opinião de que as&lt;br /&gt;experiências que mais nos marcam são aquelas vividas em&lt;br /&gt;comunidade.&lt;br

Conventional food production, they maintain, will not keep pace with the growing world population. Monsanto's ads proclaimed in 1998:  “Worrying about starving future generations won't feed them. Food biotechnology will.” As agroecologists Miguel Altieri and Peter Rosset point out, this argument is based on two erroneous assumptions. The first is that world hunger is caused by a global shortage of food; the second is that genetic engineering is the only way to increase food production.&lt;br /&gt;In their classic study, World Hunger: Twelve Myths, development specialists Frances Moore Lappé and her colleagues at the Institute for Food and Development Policy gave a detailed account of world food production that surprised many readers. They showed that abundance, not scarcity, best describes the food supply in today's world. During the past three decades, increases in global food production have outstripped world population growth per 16 per cent.&lt;br /&gt;The root causes of hunger around the world are unrelated to food production. They are poverty, inequality and lack access to food and land. People go hungry because the means to produce and distribute food are controlled by the rich and powerful: world hunger is not a technical but a political problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in “The

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a pleasure to hear the teachings of Pedro Kupfer, or should I say - the teachings of yoga, through him. As my teacher Shan Anand, Pedro Kupfer takes his studies and practice seriously, without making up new, ego centered, asanas or philosophies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These teachers see and understand how deep and rich the teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads and other texts with more than 1.000 years old are. The information of these texts is not packaged in a modern kind of way, where everything must be prepared to be quickly consumed. These texts were written in a time when there was actually time - to think, to study, to observe, to reflect, to approach the subject of the meaning of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today we are running faster and faster, conditioned to react, instead of acting. We need time to stop, to think, to clear our mind about our purpose and goals, only then can we get somewhere. But movements SLOW DOWN are appearing, as we cannot go faster eternally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Pedro, thank you Shan, and thank you to all the people in the Portuguese yoga community I have been fortunate to meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Pedro says, this community dedicates itself to yoga with love and the will to share, and not only business oriented. I am pleased to know many yoga teachers that even making a very small profit, work hard in order to take yoga to many around them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For last, I would like to thank Pedro Kupfer and the YogaPro team for making a great deal of quality resources on yoga available to everyone, in http://www.yoga.pro.br (in portuguese only)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/TArBJxJff5I/AAAAAAAAAJA/U5dNgsgdQ1Q/s1600/IMG_1936.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/TArBJxJff5I/AAAAAAAAAJA/U5dNgsgdQ1Q/s400/IMG_1936.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479404270205763474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-928735785759432894?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/928735785759432894/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2010/06/yoga-retreat-with-pedro-kupfer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/928735785759432894'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/928735785759432894'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2010/06/yoga-retreat-with-pedro-kupfer.html' title='Yoga Retreat with Pedro Kupfer'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/TAq_xme_jrI/AAAAAAAAAI4/z5dBytN5uAc/s72-c/IMG_1837.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-6580730683492013610</id><published>2010-05-18T21:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-05T22:35:21.796+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ENGLISH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Auto-conhecimento'/><title type='text'>BE SANE, BE STRONG, BE FREE</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Gil Scott-Heron&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its just what I want to say, in a world where there is thousands or millions of people hooked on legal drugs, going crazy, loosing their sanity, loosing their happiness, being kept alive by doctors who prescribe with no sense whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just Today sitting on a bus from Coimbra ... got talking with a lady ... grandmother already, sad person, started talking about all her problems and illnesses and showing me the pills she was taking. We kept on talking and she does realize she is hooked and these drugs are no better than the illegal drugs. So few moments of happiness followed by anxieties and feelings of depression. And we kept on talking ... telling her stories of people who made it ... and that it is possible, if you believe in it, if you take your life in your hands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People do want to deliver themselves to whomever they want to trust and they deposit ones' life into a doctor's hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From close relationships with several people I have come to understand that these pills never cure you, they just shut you down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WAKE UP!   YOU GOT A LIFE TO LIVE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are always two sides to things and never an absolute reality. You create your own reality. Take life in your hands. Take full responsibility for your happiness. And believe ... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO PUT YOUR ATTENTION ON THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THINGS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take this lady on the bus, a wonderful husband that supports her, several children and grandchildren that she loves, nevertheless she highlights only problems. She cant put her attention to the huge positive side of her life. And by selecting only the negative aspects of her life she creates a life of misery and depression to herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOBODY EVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every single day we are building our reality, making choices ... and the more you are conscious of this process, of the possibility of creating your own life ... then the more you take life in your hands and make happiness happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever question yourself why do some people ... that have so many problems can still laugh, while others with such an easy life keep on mourning? Well thats just because some people see the positive side of life, while others dont.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your mind is an amazing and a complicated thing. STOP! OBSERVE YOURSELF! PUT YOUR ATTENTION ON THE USEFUL THOUGHTS, on those thoughts that have the potential to sustain a healthy and enduring happiness.

Deixei os sapatos à entrada, como em qualquer sítio em Arambol, e sentei-me confortavelmente nas almofadas no chão. Não foi difícil começar a meter conversa com as pessoas presentes e, passados alguns minutos, já trocava experiências e histórias com viajantes de todo o mundo que, como eu, deixaram o que conheciam para se conhecerem melhor. Naquele pequeno grupo estavam duas suecas, um australiano, dois alemães e um nepalês - o Cookies que, mais do que anfitrião, se tornou um amigo.&lt;br /&gt;De todas as histórias que ouvi fiquei especialmente fascinada com a aventura do Johannes e do Nils. Dois alemães, 26 e 23 anos respectivamente, que resolveram dar a volta ao mundo em bicicleta. Partiram há um ano, do lago de Constance, na Alemanha, e durante um ano passaram pela Austria, Eslováquia, Hungria, Roménia, Bulgária, Grécia, Turquia, Georgia, Azerbeijão, Kazaquistão, Kyrguistão, Uzebequistão, China, Tibete e India. 15 países no total e até ao momento presente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/ShGjRl90SoI/AAAAAAAAAG4/cXLKWWgHxYw/s1600-h/MG_2601_Nills_Johannas.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/ShGjRl90SoI/AAAAAAAAAG4/cXLKWWgHxYw/s400/MG_2601_Nills_Johannas.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337226556055243394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Vânia:&lt;/span&gt; Quantos países ainda vão ter de cruzar até completarem a volta ao mundo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Johannes:&lt;/span&gt; Nao sei ao certo, mas há alguns países por onde iremos passar de certeza, como é o caso do Vietname, da Tailândia, da Malásia e da Indonésia. O meu irmão está a viver na Indonésia com a família, portanto conto ficar aí um ou dois meses. Depois, Papua Nova Guiné e Austrália. Se tudo correr como previsto encontramos um sítio na Austrália onde ficar e trabalhar e estabelecemo-nos por um ano. Necessitamos de ganhar o dinheiro que nos permitirá continuar a viagem.&lt;br /&gt;Da Austrália para a América do Sul vamos tentar viajar de barco. Evitamos o avião sempre que possível visto ser um meio de transporte altamente poluente e não nos permitir sentir a mudança gradual do território.&lt;br /&gt;Uma vez no continente americano vamos subir rumo ao Alasca, que será a última paragem antes de regressarmos à Europa. Provavelmente iremos do Alasca para Portugal de avião. Temos alguns amigos em Portugal que queremos visitar e assim terminamos a nossa rota com a travessia da Europa até à Alemanha, de regresso a casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V:&lt;/span&gt; Quanto tempo vão levar a completar a rota?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Nills:&lt;/span&gt; Provavelmente cinco ou seis anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V:&lt;/span&gt; E quanto tempo levaram a preparar esta viagem?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;N:&lt;/span&gt; Dois anos no total. A idéia surgiu um ano antes de terminarmos os nossos estudos. Nessa altura andávamos a pensar muito na vida e no que iríamos fazer quando concluíssemos a formação de carpinteiros. Não queríamos ficar na Alemanha e começar a trabalhar logo de seguida. Viajar parecia a coisa certa a fazer. Depois de uma vida passada no local onde nascemos estávamos desejosos de conhecer o mundo com os nossos olhos.&lt;br /&gt;A partir do momento em que tomámos essa decisão começámos a juntar dinheiro e a trabalhar nesse sentido. Assim que terminámos a escola passámos a trabalhar a tempo inteiro. Durante um ano trabalhámos e juntámos todo o dinheiro possível, primeiro como carpinteiros e nas últimas oito semanas numa fábrica. O trabalho foi duro, especialmente na fábrica, mas conseguimos juntar dinheiro para a viagem e para o equipamento, incluindo as bicicletas.&lt;br /&gt;Só para que tenhas uma idéia, gastámos cada um 3.500 euros na viagem da Alemanha até ao Nepal, dez meses e meio. Portanto não é assim tanto se considerarmos a distância e o tempo que demorámos. Só o equipamento foi mais caro do que isso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V: &lt;/span&gt;Conseguiram algum tipo de apoios para o equipamento?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;J:&lt;/span&gt; Sim, conseguimos o apoio de seis empresas no total. Uma ofereceu-nos os relógios de mergulho em troca de fotografias. Outra ofereceu-nos a tenda em troca de fotografias e de uma reportagem que fizeram sobre a nossa história. As bússolas, que são das melhores que há no mercado, foram oferecidas por uma empresa suíça. E tudo isto porque enviámos centenas de emails para as mais variadas empresas. Em muitos casos não obtivemos qualquer tipo de resposta e quando nos respondiam era para dizer que já tinham esgotado os apoios disponíveis para esse ano ou que só apoiavam projectos de carácter social. Mas algumas responderam a manifestar o interesse em nos apoiar. Na altura não tínhamos nada para mostrar, nem fotografias, nem website, apenas o nosso projecto e a filosofia por detrás desta aventura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;: E qual é a filosofia por detrás desta aventura de dar a volta ao mudo em bicicleta por tempo indeterminado?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;N:&lt;/span&gt; Antes de mais sermos livres, não depender desta sociedade de consumo e de todos os confortos a que estamos habituados e partirmos à aventura, disponíveis para enfrentar as dificuldades que se atravessem no nosso caminho. Deixámos para trás os 64 canais de televisão, os 11 pares de sapatos, os telemóveis e o café depois do almoço. Deixámos para trás o porto seguro e remámos face ao desconhecido, para nos conhecermos melhor e nos pormos à prova.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V:&lt;/span&gt; Porque é que escolheram a bicicleta como meio de transporte?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;N:&lt;/span&gt; A bicicleta é o meio de transporte ideal. Podemos viajar pela natureza sem a poluir e mantemo-nos saudáveis com o exercício que fazemos diariamente. Não necessitamos de guia nem de combustível, mas estamos muitas vezes dependentes da boa vontade das pessoas que encontramos no caminho. Por outro lado, a velocidade a que viajamos permite-nos progredir na rota com tempo para apreciar e integrar tudo aquilo porque passamos. Na nossa opinião o que interessa é vivenciar os locais e não passar por eles só para dizer que lá estivemos. Viajar de bicicleta também nos permite contactar muito mais com os locais. Muitas vezes fomos convidados a comer e a dormir em casa de pessoas com quem nos cruzávamos pelo caminho e deste modo ficámos a conhecer melhor os costumes e o modo de pensar dos povos,  nas regiões por onde passámos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V:&lt;/span&gt; Durante estes dez meses e meio de viagem de certeza que tiveram bons momentos mas também situações difíceis. Qual foi a situação mais difícil porque passaram?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;J:&lt;/span&gt; Foi sem dúvida na Bulgária, quando passada hora e meia no cyber café reparámos que as nossas bicicletas tinham desaparecido. Ambos os cadeados partidos e nem sinal das bicicletas. Felizmente, tínhamos deixado a nossa bagagem em casa de um amigo.&lt;br /&gt;Quando isto aconteceu fomos imediatamente à polícia onde preenchemos um sem número de formulários, e no dia seguinte fomos chamados a tribunal. Até chegámos a fazer um cartaz com a foto das bicicletas, a dizer " Desaparecidas" e a oferecer dinheiro a quem as trouxesse de volta. Mas não tivemos sorte nenhuma e apesar de nos custar muitíssimo regressar à Alemanha quando mal tínhamos começado a viagem, tivemos de o fazer. Regressámos a casa, voltámos a trabalhar na fábrica para poder comprar novas bicicletas e passados uns meses partimos de novo. Desta vez com os melhores cadeados que há no mercado, oferecidos pela concorrência da marca dos anteriores, em troca da história verídica do que nos tinha acontecido na Bulgária.&lt;br /&gt;Esta foi a nossa prova de fogo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V:&lt;/span&gt; E os bons momentos compensaram este penoso contratempo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;J:&lt;/span&gt; Sem dúvida alguma. Recordamos com especial carinho os dois dias em que descemos as montanhas do Tibete em direcção ao Nepal. Descemos dos 3.500 metros até aos 600 metros de altitude, em dois dias. Dos picos do Tibete, onde apanhámos ventos gélidos e tínhamos de usar casacos de Inverno e luvas, até ao Nepal, onde, depois de um dia e meio para atravessar a fronteira, não conseguíamos suportar mais nada para além de uma T-shirt e calções. E mesmo assim transpirávamos permanentemente naquele clima tropical e húmido. Os contrastes porque passámos nestes dois dias foram brutais.&lt;br /&gt;Entrar no Nepal foi de facto especial, principalmente depois das dificuldades por que passámos antes de chegar à fronteira. As estradas em péssimas condições, cheias de pedregulhos e lama. Por duas vezes tivémos de atravessar riachos que cortavam a estrada sem aviso prévio, com as bicicletas e todo o equipamento às costas. Entretanto, tive um furo e fiquei para trás. Parava para encher o pneu a cada três quilómetros e depois de substituir a câmara de ar descobri que a nova também tinha um pequeno furo. Felizmente, se assim se pode dizer, já só tinha que encher o pneu de dez em dez quilómetros. Tudo isto em contra-relógio, porque o nosso visto estava praticamente a expirar e não sabíamos a que horas fechava a fronteira.&lt;br /&gt;No Tibete, ao longo do caminho, encontrámos chineses a trabalhar nas estradas, sob ribanceiras, sem qualquer tipo de protecção e, muitas das vezes, a ter de usar o martelo pneumtico em situações extremamente arriscadas. Ficámos deveras impressionados com o perigo que estes homens corriam. Pareceu-nos, de repente, ter regressado à Idade Média.&lt;br /&gt;Assim que entrámos no Nepal o cenário mudou completamente, a natureza era luxuriante, estávamos rodeados de pássaros e macacos. Entretanto, o facto de estarmos a menor altitude, com mais oxigénio disponível, também nos afectou  e acentuou a sensação de termos entrado num outro mundo. Estes dois dias terminaram com um banho de água quente, no meio da natureza, numas nascentes no Nepal. O prazer ainda mais se acentuou porque já não tomávamos banho há duas semanas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V:&lt;/span&gt; Sentem que esta viagem mudou de algum modo a vossa perspectiva do mundo e da vida?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;J:&lt;/span&gt; Mudou-nos bastante porque nos deparámos com situações muito diferentes de tudo o que já tínhamos vivenciado. Andámos de bicicleta debaixo de sol abarasador, de chuva torrencial, com neve e com gelo. Quando viajamos de bicicleta estamos em permanente contacto com o meio, não há nada que nos separe ou proteja do que nos rodeia, sentimos a natureza em toda a sua intensidade. Depois, o facto de  conhecermos tantas pessoas diferentes com quem trocámos experiências e opiniões ao longo do caminho também nos rasgou bastante os horizontes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;V:&lt;/span&gt; Continuam com a ideia de regressar à Alemanha para trabalharem como carpinteiros depois de terminarem esta aventura?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;N: &lt;/span&gt;Não. Essa foi uma conclusão a que chegámos com esta viagem. Nenhum de nós quer vir a trabalhar na Alemanha nos tempos mais próximos. É demasiado “stressante”. A Alemanha é um bom país, principalmente no que diz respeito a obter uma boa educação, mas não é o país mais adequado para nós neste momento.&lt;br /&gt;Claro que contamos regressar à Alemanha para rever família e amigos, mas não para ficar. Talvez o Canadá. Agrada-me o facto de os canadianos serem, simultaneamente, descontraídos e activos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;J:&lt;/span&gt; Mas a vida é uma viagem, com tudo em nosso redor em constante mudança, e nós vamos mudando também pelo caminho. Temos como objectivo concluir esta viagem à volta do mundo em bicicleta, e já fizemos uma parte do caminho, mas tudo pode acontecer e podemos ficar em qualquer ponto do caminho, se fizer sentido...&lt;br /&gt;Preferimos deixar os planos em aberto e ir fazendo a viagem um dia a seguir ao outro, tirando dela o máximo partido.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-6989348538540767251?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/6989348538540767251/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/05/volta-ao-mundo-em-bicicleta.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/6989348538540767251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/6989348538540767251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/05/volta-ao-mundo-em-bicicleta.html' title='A Volta ao Mundo em Bicicleta'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/ShGjRl90SoI/AAAAAAAAAG4/cXLKWWgHxYw/s72-c/MG_2601_Nills_Johannas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-5858177981014655935</id><published>2009-05-09T02:15:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-11T13:15:50.343+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PORTUGUÊS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Auto-conhecimento'/><title type='text'>Não viver em ilusão</title><content type='html'>"Uma das vantagens de dizer a verdade é que podemos começar a ter um comportamento baseado na realidade e não numa qualquer projecção racional histérica de como deveríamos comportar-nos para sermos "boas pessoas". (...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essa projecção de sermos "boas pessoas  está na origem da nossa fúria conjunta. É a origem da nossa capacidade de destruir o mundo vezes sem conta. Como disseste, tentarmos ser "melhores" do que os outros está na origem de muitos dos problemas dos seres humanos. (...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todos crescemos nesta cultura que diz que é um acto de amor e de sacrifício mentir a uma pessoa. Achamos que, se o fizermos para proteger o outro, estamos a fazer uma coisa boa e maravilhosa. Pois eu digo que estamos a ser uns idiotas. Estamos a cair nas armadilhas da nossa própria mente. Acho que, quando fazemos isso, estamos a privar a outra pessoa de uma relação autêntica e estamos a fazê-la pagar o preço de viver uma ilusão. Estamos a dar-lhes uma fantasia em vez da realidade e acabamos por ter uma relação que não passa precisamente de uma fantasia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que é que as pessoas querem de uma relação? Um acordo mútuo para evitar os problemas ou querem intimidade? &lt;br /&gt;É uma questão de escolha."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;do livro&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt; Juro por Deus&lt;/span&gt; de Neale Donald Walsch e Brad Blanton&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-5858177981014655935?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/5858177981014655935/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/05/nao-viver-em-ilusao.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/5858177981014655935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/5858177981014655935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/05/nao-viver-em-ilusao.html' title='Não viver em ilusão'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-5412728102205001217</id><published>2009-04-28T16:09:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-11T13:15:50.343+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PORTUGUÊS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Workshops'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Auto-conhecimento'/><title type='text'>Obrigada pela presença e pela partilha</title><content type='html'>Muito obrigada a todos os que participaram no workshop do passado domingo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todos estávamos naquela sala por uma razão. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Com percursos diferentes e experiências de vida muito díspares todos partilhamos uma vontade comum ... conhecermo-nos! &lt;br /&gt;Olharmos para nós mesmos e dispendermos tempo para nos conhecermos melhor e através desse caminho de auto-conhecimento alcançar uma maior paz interior e uma maior paz em nosso redor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda hoje em conversa com a minha mãe constatava como é que a atitude do meu pai e do meu irmão está diferente para comigo. O meu pai consegue manifestar melhor o amor que sente por mim e o meu irmão solicita a minha companhia e até me serviu o almoço um dia desta semana quando cheguei de dar uma aula de Yoga :)&lt;br /&gt;E porquê? Se eles reagem assim é porque essas características sempre habitaram ou estiveram em potência dentro deles,... eu é que não estava preparada para os receber. Sinto assim que o meu caminho de auto-conhecimento tem permitido o desabrochar de relações que noutras alturas eram conflituosas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinto que este é de facto o segredo - olharmos para nós próprios em vez de apontarmos o dedo aos outros ou a situações exteriores. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E estes tempos em que o modelo de um mundo focado nos aspectos materiais está a colapsar é uma enorme oportunidade para reavaliarmos as nossas prioridades. Podemos ter menos dinheiro, mas se calhar temos mais tempo e muitos amigos. Então vamos utilizar o nosso tempo da melhor forma possível - partilhando, dando e recebendo daqueles que amamos e estabelecendo laços de amizade com aqueles em nosso redor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basta pensarmos como é muitas vezes nos bairros mais pobres e nos países mais pobres que encontramos mais sorrisos e mais compaixão e como é nos bairros mais ricos que encontramos muros mais altos e um isolamento criado do "medo que me possam roubar".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vivemos tempos de grande mudança, tempos em que nos está a ser dada a oportunidade de re-avaliarmos as nossas prioridades e tomarmos decisões quanto à nossa vida com maior consciência da nossa essência, com maior consciência do que sou eu e do que é a sociedade em mim. E abrindo os olhos descascamos a cebola e chegamos a um lugar de maior objectividade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desejo a todos muito amor e discernimento no vosso caminho.&lt;br /&gt;Namaste,&lt;br /&gt;Vânia&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-5412728102205001217?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/5412728102205001217/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/obrigada-pela-presenca-e-pela-partilha.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/5412728102205001217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/5412728102205001217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/obrigada-pela-presenca-e-pela-partilha.html' title='Obrigada pela presença e pela partilha'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-8159295937123915377</id><published>2009-04-14T21:57:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-11T13:15:50.344+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PORTUGUÊS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aulas de Yoga'/><title type='text'>Aulas de Yoga para Crianças</title><content type='html'>com Vânia Cunha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no Hipopótamo Mágico - www.hipopotamomagico.pt&lt;br /&gt;Quartas e Sextas das 18.30h às 19.30h&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A partir dos 5 anos de idade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Yoga é uma prática adequada para todas as idades, &lt;br /&gt;proporcionando inúmeros benefícios.&lt;br /&gt;Nas crianças, e utilizando uma técnica lúdica, o Yoga, &lt;br /&gt;proporciona ao seu filho, um crescimento harmonioso. &lt;br /&gt;Combinando os mais variados exercícios com jogos criativos, &lt;br /&gt;a criança aprende a concentrar-se e a relaxar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tornam-se capazes de gerir as emoções e ao mesmo tempo &lt;br /&gt;adquirem maior flexibilidade, equilíbrio e coordenação. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Através da prática do Yoga, a criança, desenvolve a imaginação &lt;br /&gt;e a criatividade de uma forma divertida, e adquire a disciplina &lt;br /&gt;necessária às exigências do dia-a-dia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atenções a ter na prática do Yoga:&lt;br /&gt;1.

(...) The second step to take is gaining an awareness of the roots of the having orientation, such as one´s sense of powerlessness, one´s fear of life, one´s fear of the uncertain, one´s distrust of people, and the many other subtle roots that have grown together so thickly.&lt;br /&gt;Awareness of these roots is not sufficient condition, either. It must be accompanied by changes in practice, first of all by loosening the grip that selfishness has over one by beginning to let go. One must give up something, share, and go through the anxiety that these first little steps engender. One will discover, then, the fear of losing oneself that develops if one contemplates losing things, which function has props for one's sense of self. This implies not only giving up some possessions, but, even more important, habits, accustomed thoughts, identification with one's status, even phrases one is accustomed to hold on to, as well as the image that others may have of oneself (or that one hopes they have and tries to produce); in brief, if one tries to change routinized behaviour in all spheres of life from breakfast routine to sex routine. In the process of trying to do so, anxieties are mobilized, and by not yielding to them confidence grows that the seemingly impossible can be done - and adventurousness grows. This process must be accompanied by attempting to go out of oneself and to turn to others.&lt;br /&gt;(...)&lt;br /&gt;To sum up: Awareness, will, practice, tolerance of fear and of new experience, they are all necessary if transformation of the individual is to succeed. At a certain point the energy and direction of inner forces have changed to the point where an individual's sense of identity has changed, too. In the property mode of existence the motto is : "I am what I have."

Porque quando temos necessidade de nos sobre-valorizar é porque não temos confiança em nós próprios e subjugar os outros em nosso redor é único meio de nos sentirmos importantes. Não, este não é o caminho do Yoga, porque no Yoga todos os seres são divinos e a sua importância é igual, não são uns mais importantes do que os outros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muitas vezes as pessoas desesperam porque se ao menos o marido fosse diferente, se ao menos o pai fosse mais activo, se ao menos o filho fizesse os trabalhos de casa. Mas ao colocarmos toda a nossa atenção sobre o que os outros deveriam mudar, desviamo-nos de um trabalho sério de auto-conhecimento, e aí sim podemos mudar as coisas. Foca-te em ti mesmo e vais ver como as coisas começam a mudar em teu redor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-6146143355149956730?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/6146143355149956730/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/obrigada-todos-os-participantes-do.html#comment-form' title='3 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/6146143355149956730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/6146143355149956730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/obrigada-todos-os-participantes-do.html' title='Obrigada a todos os participantes do Workshop'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-8507377277502453986</id><published>2009-03-14T17:01:00.001Z</published><updated>2010-06-11T13:15:50.349+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PORTUGUÊS'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Yoga quer dizer união, união com o divino que há em cada um de nós, união com a nossa essência.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-8507377277502453986?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/8507377277502453986/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/yoga-quer-dizer-uniao-uniao-com-o.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/8507377277502453986'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/8507377277502453986'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/yoga-quer-dizer-uniao-uniao-com-o.html' title=''/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-4400072085401060508</id><published>2009-03-10T10:59:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-06-11T13:16:10.539+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PORTUGUÊS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Auto-conhecimento'/><title type='text'>Estabelecer a ligação com o nosso Subconsciente</title><content type='html'>O subconsciente dita em grande parte a nossa vida. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todos aqueles momentos em que fazemos algo porque sentimos que aquele é o caminho ou que não começamos uma relação amorsa com alguém porque apesar das características objectivas dessa pessoa estarem de acordo com os nossos desejos e personalidade há algo que não faz sentido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O nosso subconsciente possui muito mais informação do que aquela a que conseguimos aceder com a nossa mente consciente e com o nosso intelecto. E quando surgem conflitos entre a nossa mente consciente e o nosso subconsciente sentimos mal estar, depressão, ansiedade. A maior parte das vezes as pessoas reagem alienando-se, pondo a cabeça debaixo da terra como a avestruz, utilizando o seu tempo ou em permanente intensa actividade ou em alienação olhando para o pequeno ecrã da televisão para não ter de pensar. Estes hábitos tornam-se um círculo vicioso que não permite pôr um fim ao mal estar sentido e à descoberta do nosso verdadeiro eu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É aqui que práticas como o yoga e a meditação podem ser uma ferramenta preciosa no contacto com o nosso subconsciente, desenvolvendo uma atitude de abraçar a nossa essência em vez de fugir e ter medo dela.&lt;br /&gt;Existem campos da nossa existência em que a análise intelectual e analítica não é a resposta, porque estamos a trabalhar apenas ao nível do consciente, sem acesso ao mar de informação que o nosso subconsciente nos pode dar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O meu mestre Bhagavan Shri Shanmukha Anantha Natha defende que através do Yoga e da meditação podemos curar psicoses, mas não põe de parte a utilização da psicanálise como ferramenta valiosa neste processo de descoberta e cura interior. Fugir do nosso subconsciente que pede a nossa atenção não é nunca a solução. Todos nós em certos momentos da nossa vida sentimos mal estar, depressão, ansiedade, é natural. A questão prende-se como é que vamos olhar para estas questões. Fugir, e deixar a situação arrastar-se por tempo indeterminado, ou encarar a situação e adoptar uma prática diária de meditação e auto-análise? Esta análise de que falo não é uma análise intelectual mas sim uma análise fruto de pensamentos que nos assaltam durante a meditação, sentimentos que surgem ligados com questões específicas da nossa vida. Estas são pistas que nos poderão ajudar no processo de descoberta interior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou a ler neste momento o livro The Art of Being the Erich Fromm que veio consolidar a informação que tinha recebido e discutido com o meu mestre e em que a utilização complementar do Yoga, da meditação e da auto-psicanálise podem-nos ajudar a encontrar bem-estar interior e a ultrapassar momentos difíceis na nossa vida. A chave para tudo isto é a vontade e a disciplina.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-4400072085401060508?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/4400072085401060508/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/estabelecer-ligacao-com-o-nosso.html#comment-form' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/4400072085401060508'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/4400072085401060508'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/estabelecer-ligacao-com-o-nosso.html' title='Estabelecer a ligação com o nosso Subconsciente'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-2477446952098594344</id><published>2009-03-09T16:29:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-06-11T13:16:10.539+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PORTUGUÊS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aulas de Yoga'/><title type='text'>Aulas de Tantra Yoga em Carcavelos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/SbVEGfwopOI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/02edLZkYu7s/s1600-h/Flyer_Tantra_Yoga_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/SbVEGfwopOI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/02edLZkYu7s/s400/Flyer_Tantra_Yoga_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311226213948761314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-2477446952098594344?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/2477446952098594344/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/2477446952098594344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/2477446952098594344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-post.html' title='Aulas de Tantra Yoga em Carcavelos'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/SbVEGfwopOI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/02edLZkYu7s/s72-c/Flyer_Tantra_Yoga_2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-1756436557079350687</id><published>2009-03-08T23:57:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-06-05T22:35:21.798+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ENGLISH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Auto-conhecimento'/><title type='text'>To Concentrate</title><content type='html'>People think that concentrating is too strenuous an activity and that they would get tired quickly. In fact the opposite is true, as anyone can observe in oneself. Lack of concentration makes one tired, while concentration wakes one up. There is no mystery in this. In unconcentrated activity no energy is mobilized, since a low level of energy is sufficient to do the task. Mobilization of energy, which has a psychic as well as a physiological aspect, has the effect of making one feel alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;in Art of Being by Erich Fromm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-1756436557079350687?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/1756436557079350687/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/to-concentrate.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/1756436557079350687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/1756436557079350687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/to-concentrate.html' title='To Concentrate'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-2586265977732131268</id><published>2009-03-08T23:46:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-06-11T13:16:10.540+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PORTUGUÊS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Workshops'/><title type='text'>Workshop A Tradição do Yoga no Oriente e no Ocidente</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/SbRaDaBli8I/AAAAAAAAAFI/TCvjONBUvFE/s1600-h/Cartaz_Workshop_vania1_web.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/SbRaDaBli8I/AAAAAAAAAFI/TCvjONBUvFE/s400/Cartaz_Workshop_vania1_web.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310968875148741570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-2586265977732131268?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/2586265977732131268/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/workshop-tradicao-do-yoga-no-oriente-e.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/2586265977732131268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/2586265977732131268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/workshop-tradicao-do-yoga-no-oriente-e.html' title='Workshop A Tradição do Yoga no Oriente e no Ocidente'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/SbRaDaBli8I/AAAAAAAAAFI/TCvjONBUvFE/s72-c/Cartaz_Workshop_vania1_web.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6932213658622042022.post-8601666727044487584</id><published>2009-03-08T23:10:00.000Z</published><updated>2010-06-05T22:35:21.798+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ENGLISH'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Auto-conhecimento'/><title type='text'>The Art of Being by Erich Fromm</title><content type='html'>we must remember that becoming aware of the truth has a liberating effect; &lt;br /&gt;it releases energy and de-fogs one´s mind. &lt;br /&gt;As a result, one is more independent, has one´s center in oneself, and is more alive. &lt;br /&gt;One may realize that nothing in reality can be changed, &lt;br /&gt;but one has succeeded in living and dying as a human person and not as a sheep. &lt;br /&gt;If avoidance of pain and maximal comfort are supreme values, &lt;br /&gt;then indeed illusions are preferable to the truth. If, on the other hand, &lt;br /&gt;we consider that every man, at any time in history, &lt;br /&gt;is born with the potential of being a full man and that, furthermore, &lt;br /&gt;with his death the one chance given to him is over, &lt;br /&gt;then indeed much can be said for the personal value of shedding illusions &lt;br /&gt;and thus attaining an optimum of personal fulfillment. &lt;br /&gt;In addition, the more seeing individuals will become, the more likely it is that they can produce changes - social and individual ones - at the earliest possible moment, rather than, as is often the case, waiting until the chances for change have disappeared because their mind, their courage, their will have become atrophied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conclusion from all these considerations is that the most important step in the art of being is everything that leads to and enhances our capacity for heightened awareness and, as far as the mind is concerned, for critical, questioning thinking.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6932213658622042022-8601666727044487584?l=kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/feeds/8601666727044487584/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/art-of-being-by-erich-fromm.html#comment-form' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/8601666727044487584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6932213658622042022/posts/default/8601666727044487584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kalkiyogaspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/art-of-being-by-erich-fromm.html' title='The Art of Being by Erich Fromm'/><author><name>Vania Cunha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18042097649428426309</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_N4BnBmuNFnY/S04CqE-F-cI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/6B8WMpOEMXM/S220/IMG_2641.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
