Yes..dear Thelma…the silence..,but music is for me also the sound of my soul…quiet at times, or passionate…
When you walk in the park and hear the wind, the birds singing and you feel…one,it is the moment when..the silence..becomes the music…this harmony with everything around you..with God.

love

My dear Agnieska, of course, Music is the sound of the Universe…It is the sound of our Souls. If we could only hear it!
Meditation for me is ‘silence’ of the mind or ‘passion’ of the Soul. Both transform us and we live in another ‘dimension’.
Love,
Thelma

Perception of reality; I need a God of flesh and blood. When present nothing else matters. When separated, all that matters is to look forward to be reunited.

Dear Mr.Coelho,
these are the practices that i have read in your books and i like so much to study about and be creative. To make things more specific and closer to peace, as you suggest from your contradictions i will use the term “exercise”. We have to evaluate what is an exercise and what is not an exercise and how far we can go with that and what is the total of the things that we can accomplish with exercises. If you pay a closer attention to the term, you may discover that the truth and the peace of life, is not only a dominant “reality” close to us every day, but “a diversity exercise” as life goes faster and faster. There were times that people could not imagine that this or that is possible to happen, had been isolated from the community, or had developed ephemeral channels of thinking, that proved later to have been sending them “back” systematically. In your article i can visualize the path goal practice and theory. But what can be proved more exciting and closer to your words is the art and the practice of “behavioral meditation”. This is what has been proved puzzling and complex for most of the people. Can we study and predict human behavior?? Have a nice day!!

Dear Paulo,

Thanks for posting this article on meditation. There are lots of benefits to meditating. One of them to come closer to perceiving everything in its true nature: always changing. This applies even to thoughts and emotions that arise during meditation.

Anlao: you can meditate on feelings of hate and see what happens. You’ll find that these thoughts and feelings will transform while you meditate. What seemed too much to handle will become more manageable.

Love,
Ushani

Mago querido!
A milenar Sabedoria Chinesa só nos acrescenta, por isso, sempre que posso, consulto o I CHING, oráculo do qual nem Jung deixava de estudar.
A Torre detém um simbolismo impressionante, inclusive nos Arcanos do Tarô, Livro Aberto dos Antigos…Há que se subir por ela, mas o importante deverá ser a descida!
Obrigada, Amigo Paulo! Quando terei a alegria de vê-lo lá no nosso blog? Vou aguardar…Bjs

This is unrelated, but I haven’t been able to find an answer to this question. Today I seem to need an answer with a sense of urgency: what do people do with hate? i thought i let it go, but sometimes it just seems that i add layers of other emotions over it and still… whenever i look deep inside still lurks there. how can i make it go away?
what do other people do with hate???

Meditating for me means going into my heart. This is a place where true inner peace can be found. You cannot find anywhere else. Why?Because it is a state of mind. Finding inner peace means being happy. Nothing in this world can make me happy if my mind is not at peace. So in reality I don’t have to go anywhere externally. I just have to make this internal journey. Then I can truly enjoy my life, people I meet etc. Only if I make my mind peaceful first.
Breathing meditation is a preparatory practice. It is an exercise that is helpful in the beginning because if we try to focus our mind we find it very difficult. Our mind is like a river of thoughts, never stopping. In breathing meditation I concentrate on sensation of breath at the tip of my nostrils. It is great exercise for focusing the mind. But it is just the beginning, there is so much more to come.
I try to sit down to meditate in my room when I have quiet moment, it is nice to be able to do it at the same time of the day.
In general I think that meditation makes me better person.
