Just for Today Do Not Worry

This principle reminds us that we must trust in the process of life. When we worry, it it is often because we have become caught in the confusion of our outer experience and have become fearful of the future. Our fear leads us to attempt to control all aspects of our lives, rather than trustig in the natural abundance and security that comes from being in our natural place. When we worry we send our fears out into the world, and the world reflects them. The spiral of cofusion gains momentum in our lives. Instead, try to relax and know that what is yours will come to you at the right time.
________________________________________
Just for Today Do Not Anger

When we feel anger it is often because we have given away our power, or failed in some way to express our needs. The outer world is a reflection, so if we find ourselves angry with someone they are often only doing us a service showing us what needs attention in our own lives. We are, in fact, angry with ourselves for failing to take the action that would have prevented the situation arising in the first place.
________________________________________
Honour Your Parents, Teachers and Elders

It is easy to lay the blame for all that is wrong in our lives at the door of our parents, teachers or elders. If we are able to rise up and see life from a greater perspective then we can realise that everyone in our lives is there for a reason. Those who give us the greatest lessons are those that love us the most. It is important to recognise that nothing happens by chance; you have chosen your parents and your life situation in order to experience the very difficulties you need to grow. Love them and honour them for being part of your experience.
________________________________________
Earn Your Living Honestly

Through our work we express ourselves. When we receive payment for what we do we learn to respect ourselves and take responsibility for our lives. It is important that we find our place in the world and express our unique gifts.
________________________________________
Show Gratitude to Everything

Never take anything for granted. Instead, give thanks for every meal you eat, every day you live, every prayer that is answered. Life is so very precious and, as we learn to appreciate our own life, we will learn to appreciate all life

A energia do REIKI

Só por hoje, não me irrito/aborreço.
A irritação e a raiva desarmonizam e criam doenças no corpo. Seria de grande sabedoria aprendermos a tranformar estas energias, lidando construtivamente com elas.

Só por hoje, não me preocupo.
“Preocupar-se é esquecer que há um propósito divino universal em tudo o que acontece”, foi o que aprendi e continuo a aprender. Não adianta lamentarmos o que passou ou nos preocuparmos com o que poderá vir. O passado foi criado conforme o que dispunhamos então e o futuro criamo-lo neste momento. E a cada passo dado com amor, benevolência e pureza de atitudes e pensamentos, só poderemos criar um futuro melhor. Tudo o que chega até nós e onde nós chegamos, nos traz algo de útil para a nossa caminhada.

Só por hoje, sou grato.
Quando tomamos a atitude da gratidão, sentindo-nos agradecidos por tudo o que recebemos e aquilo que confiamos nos ser fornecido a todo o momento, atrai a abundância porque a aceitamos como parte integrante da nossa vida e de tudo o que nos envolve. Se no nosso inconsciente acreditamos que não merecemos os bens e a riqueza, estaremos a bloquear o fluxo da abundância.

Só por hoje, trabalho arduamente/honestamente.
Se trabalharmos, assim como tudo o resto, honestamente e com consciência, estaremos antes de mais a aumentar o nosso amor próprio. Sentimo-nos bem com a vida e o que nos rodeia, o que irradiará harmonia na nossa vida.

Só por hoje, sou bondoso para com todos os seres vivos.
“Mostrar amor e respeito por todos os seres é amar e respeitar a nós mesmos.” Somos todos um só. Somos todos parte da mesma energia. Porquê maltratarmo-nos? Porquê atrair vibrações mais baixas sendo mesquinhos e julgando os outros? Respeitemos o próximo, respeitemos a nossa própria condição. O uso deste princípio na nossa vida trará indubitavelmente a harmonia até nós. Será a própria criação.

Parece-me que vale bem a pena parar um pouco e meditar sobre estes princípios tão simples e, ao mesmo tempo, tão profundos.

O verdadeiro reikiano será aquele que aplica estes princípios no seu dia a dia, crendo no fluir da energia universal e aplicando-a em tudo o que faz.

Acha que é assim tão difícil fazê-lo? Já o experimentou? Experimente. Falo por mim também. Por vezes é difícil lidar com as energias que chegam até nós, mas há que aprender a tranformá-las e usá-las da melhor forma. Não podemos esperar que os outros o façam por nós.

Os outros são os espelhos que nos ajudam a ver como somos e por onde queremos seguir, pois é a nossa própria vibração que atrai ou repele as vibrações dos outros, tal como as cargas dos electrões, protões e neutrões.

Nós somos os co-criadores da nossa vida, está na hora de assumir essa responsabilidade.

Dear David

I wanted to write to let you know that you are not alone with this situation.

I have experienced the same things with my daughter, when she first started at secondary school and she was about aged 12. She initially had problems with some other girls at her school who used to be friends with her, but when their friendship came to an end, they begun to bully her which caused her to have a fear of going to school and also of socializing outside of school. It was a very difficult time as she had always been a happy and bubbly child with no problems at school or with other children. She very quickly stopped going out with friends and soon had a fear of going to school.

It wasn’t long before she had a total fear of going to school and also going out with her friends. This was terrifying. I did not know how to reach out to my daughter or how to support her. We decided the best option was to home-school her so that at least it would stop the fear of the bullies. All I could do at that period was offer her a lot of unconditional love and support and let her know that I was there for her and she could talk to me openly without the fear that I was judging her. I knew that I couldn’t change the situation as it was something that had to be worked through in her own way and slowly she began to rebuild her confidence once she started to talk about how she had been feeling.

We moved to a new town about a year later and the fear began again about attending a new school, however, slowly and gently with the schools support she began to accept that she had to give it a try and that I was only a phone call away if the fear returned. Now, two years later, she leaves school next month and is about to take her exams, has lots of friends a great social life and has just got her first boyfriend!! She is happy again and outgoing and has a love of life once more. I know that your situation will be slightly different from mine, but I wanted to let you know that you are not alone with this and that hopefully the stage will pass and your son will find peace in his life once more. Please understand that you are still ‘normal’ and that many families go through very similar situations and that no one is to blame for the way things are. We love our children and do all we can to protect them in the world, but sometimes things will happen in their lives that make situations difficult for them to deal with, so they back away to try to avoid the pain of facing the problems. They are only children and do not have the mechanism to cope with things in the same way as adults do, so when things occur and they do not know how to cope, sometimes, this seems the only option for them at that time. Slowly, your child will work through this. It may take a while, but as long as he knows his parents love him and are there for him every step of the way, it will help him get through this difficult period in his life. One day, you will all look back on it and see it as a learning curve just as we do now, I know while you are in the middle of it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but rest assured, as he grows his strength will grow and he will be able to deal with the situation step by step.

Best Wishes
Alex

I feel so ashamed.I was asking few days ago who was the old man helping Santiago in “The Alchemist”.For sure, it was Melchisedec,king of Salem,to whom Abraham gave a tenth of his spoils.Was called King of Peace,with no mother,father,no end of life.Amazing character,and how strange is asking a tenth of the flock to Santiago in the novel.All is well if ended well,finally I got an answer.I feel happy

Dear David Willows, I can imagine what you suffer, right now about the ..rebellion of your boy. We want the best for them. To provide them not only food, shelter and … sleep, but to give them the necessary ‘weapons’ to face and live life, which are translated to education and strength of character. To be able to survive in the .. ‘jungle’ and stand on their own feet!
I come from a traditional Greek family and I remember my father saying to me when I announce them that I wanted to get engaged and married! Think and look into the future. This is the time to think for ..Yourself and your .. dreams and desires. Because once you will have children you must forget the I and be prepared to think first for them. They will depend on you for everything and you will be responsible for them. You must do your DUTY for them with LOVE and enthusiasm. Your ..reward will be to see them happy and complete! It was a long … procedure, sometimes I felt in a ‘trap’, suffocating, but a hug and a kiss was enough for me to forget .. myself and my dreams. I knew that I was not going to be happy if I would cause them unhappiness, or neglect them. So my profile says: I am a wife, a mother and a .. grand-mother!
Love will show you the way to go nearer to your son. Do not buy their … love with ..toys and money. All they need is your concern, acceptance, some precious time and dialogue. I think that he is ..with his way, ‘shouting’ for attention. Sometimes they want us to worry and feel pain about them, so that they will feel loved and needed.
LOVE,
Thelma.

Dear Jessica,

I am sorry to hear that you have been suffering from greater distress and visions.

But wait a moment, I think you should try not to think. Here is what you could do-

1. Close your eyes and try to see a blank. (total emptiness, nothing else.., even there would be images of something in your mind.., just try to harder to see blank..)

2. If you think, too much of the same problem, the problem will not divide but it will get multiplied so rather think of something else.

3. Just take deep breath as much as you could and relax, there is nothing wrong with you and hopefully, it would just be fine.

Personally, I do not know what kind of problems you are currently facing but looking at your comments-it seems that you are in trouble therefore, just try to imagine nothing.

Most of the times our brain function in many different ways, sometimes when intend to think about the same problem time and again, the problem gets multipied and we will then become unable to heal that later, therefore just think nothing. (The idea is that, when your computer gets hang, you need to press the re-set button) Please do not get any wrong message out of this…,,

We all are here to help you because we all at PCB care a lot about each other.

:)

God bless you !

Instinto Felino

Por instinto, no caminho te encontrei

Ou por intuição, nem mesmo eu sei.

A estrada da vida é perigosa para quem

Não tem amor, mas para os que o tem também.

Meu coração não tem pátria ou pousada

Quando quer percorrer os campos, imagina.

Quando quer te achar, acorda na madrugada;

E pra não perder o suave néctar, determina:

“Que você percorra meu sangue, minha estrada

Quente como o sol, tranquila como um gato,

Venha em mim agora, como peça no primeiro ato.

Refaz minha vida com a sua pele divinizada,

Transforma essa carne mortal em sua morada,

Torna esse corpo fatal em seu, como já é de fato.”

I am a coward!!

I wrote this line in the first page of my first personal diary. Something sort of introduction. This idea was inspired from ‘The Experiments With Truth’, in which Gandhi started from a line ‘Moso Kaun Kutil, Khal, Kami’.( Who is more clever, shrewd and pervert than me!!). I feel I cant write the exact English translation so I offer my apology for my poor English.

Gandhi started his autobiography with this small introduction. This moved me and I wrote mine…

I am a coward!!

I‘d always envisaged myself as bringing a social change. I’d always dreamt of myself as starting an NGO and helping poor people. I’d always envisaged myself fighting for each and every right, fighting against BAD people and rule. But I never did that…

Why?? Because I was petrified of the consequences…. I was afraid of loosing….I’d no balls….

Nowadays a few things which are happening in my life needs some action from me. This is not like ‘burning myself’ on Rajpath against any Government policy. This is like loosing everything I have earned till now.

Dare Pankaj!! because Entrepreneurs do.

Dear Jessica,

I too have had mystical visions and over many years I kept these to myself. Because I am a dreamer by predilection I am perhaps more open to these than many people. My background as a professional scientist made me keep these even more secret. In a good way talking about them with someone else made me realise that I wasn’t the only person in the world who had them and it also took the “edge” off them.

Over the years and months, I learned which visions to trust and how to interpret my dreams.

Some of these things come from very deep places and can be quite scary.

If you would like to open a dialogue about these off line please click on my name and it will take you to my web site where there is an email address.

I would be very surprised if you have seen things that would make me think you are strange.

With all my very best wishes,
Alan

Playing in the park on a sunny day in early Spring, we look like a perfectly normal family.

Sure, I am a divorced dad, co-managing two sets of kids in two countries. But that’s okay. We have got used to that now. We have our routine and that gets us through.

But on this particular day, I don’t feel normal. Despite my best efforts, the jigsaw pieces of my life just don’t seem to fit together in the way that they used to. At least, not right now. They are all bent up and slightly torn at the edges.

Let me explain.

When I had first had children, I made certain basic assumptions:

1. My children will outlive me.

2. My children will sleep (eventually).

3. My children will eat their vegetables (eventually – with the exception, perhaps, of Brussels Sprouts).

4. My children will go to school.

This, for most of us, is the bottom line of parenthood. Of course, we hope for much more for our kids. In my case it was 12 hour sleep patterns from 6 weeks, leading seamlessly towards a happy, successful and ethical life, cut short only by a peaceful passing anytime after the age of 80. And not to be greedy about it, I wanted my children not only to eat but actually enjoy everything I place onto the dinner table, play a musical instrument, join a sports team, become a doctor, marry and produce 3 delightful grandchildren to keep me entertained during my own twilight years.

Am I alone here?

I guess we make these parental assumptions in order to get us through those dark and difficult periods when raising a child fills seems beyond anything we could ever manage.

Sitting on her couch, the therapist opposite confirms my naivety in almost her first sentence: ‘David, we are only just beginning this process…’

Shit.

You see, my eldest boy, has not been to school in seven months. He is a ‘school refuser’.

Seven months ago, I did not even know kids like this existed. Kids either went to school or they ‘bunked off’ because they were bad kids. (Or they were like my sister who occasionally decided to ride around Birmingham on the bus rather than go to school).

This, though, is different. This is about kind of deep anxiety or phobia, akin to people who have a fear of spiders, confined spaces or flying. This is kind of serious.

I want to tell the therapist that she is wrong. I challenge her, angrily, and express that part of me that wants to simplify this situation, blaming it on some early adolescent rebellion.

It’s complicated. Too complicated for me to understand right now.

And I don’t particularly want to go into why this happened. My ex-wife thinks that it was because she went to work when he was small. The therapist half suggests that it was because I went swimming with my boy every Friday afternoon when he was small and then I got divorced. I argue with them both. Half the world’s kids have mums who work and dads who live somewhere else. But half the world’s kids are not school refusers.

Back in the park, we kick a ball around and enjoy each other’s company. We laugh, argue, run around: the first signs of Spring do us good. But it is different to last Spring. I feel a distance between him and I that was not there a year ago. When I try to get close, he pulls away – as if it is too painful, too confusing for him to bear right now. He has become trapped in a world where he is afraid to venture out and engage – even with his own dad.

I want to tell him that I love him. I want to draw him close, like when he was small, and reassure him that it’s going to be okay. Locked in his fortress, I want to find the key, defeat the dragon, wake him up, kiss him and rescue him from his demons.

I also want to kick him up the arse, shout at him, and tell him that he should be back at school like any normal kid.

The emotions are complicated for all of us right now. The pieces of the puzzle simply don’t fit quite as well as they used to.

All I can do is get angry with the therapist. And wait.

Travelling back on the Eurostar, I play a mental game with myself and wonder whether there is any other parent on this packed train who has to deal with this stuff? Am I really the only one? And what happens to all these kids? Are they simply forgotten?

I am home and suddenly I realize the irony of it all. In a few hours, I will be back at work, telling the story of a school that literally changes kids’ lives. Like Willy Wonka himself, I will give out a few more ‘golden tickets’ that few kids can even dream about.

And on Monday morning, I will take a moment to think of my boy, sitting in him room – locked in by something I still don’t begin to understand.

And wait.

Hi Paulo and Everyone,

It is a little over a week until my first ever course on Dreams and Dreaming on the 5th of April in London. I intend to use this course to begin to form a group of people who want to work deeply with dreams.

There are a few places left and details can be found at:

Just some food for thought.
No matter what your past may be…your future is always spotless.
So try and make wise choices. Never, never give up, because failure is not final, it is only a learning experience. Failure is learning what not to do the next time you try.

Results vs Consequences

The difference called my attention.

Often, we’re taught to aim for results, forgetting to enjoy how we choose to achieve them. We strive for security, ie. a bank account with important savings, a house, a car, a job, getting married, having children. We are used to planning our lives in terms of 5, 10, 20 years from now. In doing so, we lose perspective on all the various ways in which this can be achieved. By concentrating on results we miss the opportunity granted by consequence.

We all know each of us is different. What we sometimes fail to remember is that it is our differences what make us special in the making. Consequently, all of our choices are equally unique and special. Once we accept and honor this as true, there is no need for Egos, we can learn to flow, to relax, to let be.

Ego asks for extremes. This or that. Here or there. Yes or No. By following Ego’s drive, we are forced to choose, to acknowledge only Half Truth. Our “Atma”, our indivisible being is taken from the middle to face confrontation, inner turmoil, inner separation.

In believing letting go and letting God is the best option, we can forget all about where life is taking us and simply enjoy the road.

It is this road which leads us to the ultimate consequence: Happiness. It is our birth right. It is the reason why we are all here. To experience, to learn, and have fun while on it.

Learn to trust you’re exactly where and when you need to be.

Enjoy!

This is something I wrote some months ago… Hope it uplifts you as it does me now that my dream has finally come true.

“On Happiness
There are no happier people on this planet than those who decide that they want something, define what they want, get hold of the feeling of it even before it’s manifestation, and then joyously watch the unfolding, as piece by piece, by piece it begins to unfold. That’s the feeling of your hands in the clay -A.Hicks.

As my 3 years’ work to create and consolidate Inner Healers as a concept is finally getting to its time, I dwell upon this inspiring quote. Working with faith and joy is such a magnificent bliss! We’re lucky to have the oportunity to grow, expand, build and share with other travelers in this physical path. Happiness has to do with becoming conscious of the process and accepting the Love pouring from around.

Enjoy!”

Hi Carolena,

Yes this is just disgusting.People could do everything for money,it’s just evil.I have read last time that in Italy,immigrants who are now “living” in here or let’s say surviving are kept to do the dirty jobs.Basically they arrive there,they don’t know that once their prints have been taken,they cannot go and stay in another E.U country.When they try,others are sending them back to Italy.But in there they don’t want them,so they are left to sell drugs and stuff.Then people are saying something like:”look at those foreigners,they are coming here and do dirt” while,well I guess we know why they want them to be there,hey.That’s called slavery.Then many are starting to mysteriously disappear,and minors too.They are suspecting organ traffic there.
This is sick.

its a tough question

and if you consider [ as i just learnt at an ILO training workshop for anti-child trafficking ] that there are now more drug traffickers turning to trafficking in people, human organs because of the comparative difficulties in smuggling drugs vs humans (detection of drugs is better technologically applied)..

then you perhaps need to ask that old question
do we legalise some or any drugs…

I say no to the drugs
but then continuing with donated organ programmes would only encourage more ‘abuse of human organs’…
… you probably know the story – innocent person is tricked, drugged , then wake up in a bath of cold ice water… there’s a message on the ceiling above.. they read it… and it tells them not to move else they shall die… but to call a number .. that there is a phone beside the bath… help will come.
this is the illegal sourcing of human organs…

and the network of people involved are not just ex-drug traffickers but – as was explained to us at the workshop – the surgeries involved to remove a human organ requires serious surgery… no mere cut and run…. so there are qualified surgeons involved…. and who knows who else…

i read your other info – about the testing on young children with mental health problems…
another neo-something policy breaking all the rules ;o/

as i think is testing by stem cell research…
but thats another discussion ;o)
