Tomorrow Never Comes - Talk of the Month

This month I have picked out a very short talk (only 3 minutes) by a modern Indian mystic OSHO.

I am coming more and more to the realization that if you can say what you want in a few words then there is usually a lot of truth in it.

Our minds are so busy reliving the past or anticipating the future to the point that between these two extremes we miss the journey of life itself because life is always happening HERE and NOW.

We are going through life in such a hurry that we never allow ourselves the rest to sit back and enjoy the ride with the beauty that is presenting to us at every moment.

Or to put it in other words, life with all its possibilities is constantly knocking on our door but we are never there.

In my own life, I try as much as possible to stay in the present moment. I find myself easily distracted so the exercise is just to observe this and make a conscious choice of returning to the NOW.

Enjoy the talk ! I wish you all a wonderful month with many NOW moments.

Much Love,

Jan

What You Did Not Know About The Orthodox Easter

No matter to which religious tradition you swear allegiance, if you live in Crete, you might have noticed a profound truth: for Orthodox Christians Easter is the thing . No other celebration around the year gets so much attention, so much energy and involves so much food as Easter. Coming after 6 weeks of strict fasting…you would say the food and the partying are to be expected…However, there is more to it than meets the eye. Easter is not only Easter Sunday but it includes the week before…the Holy Week or…the Week of Passions as we call it in Romania. During this week, each step of Jesus is being carefully accounted for in rituals that add to each other to recreate the energy of an event that happened more than 2000 years ago…2023 to be more precise! Looking back at my own upbringing, in an essentially orthodox society, Easter was as much a religious celebration as a social happening. It was the time when us kids were allowed to linger on the streets until late at night as...

The Connexion Process: A Great Way To Explore Your Inner Landscape

What is community connectedness? Community connectedness is the measure of our sense of community – that is, how connected we feel to those around us. Whether it's with a group of friends, a hobby group, a sporting team, our neighbours or an online community, a sense of belonging is what humans require. Broadly defined, “social connectedness” (also referred to as “social connection”) is a state of feeling close (or “connected”) to another person or other people. This includes feeling cared about by others (and caring about others), as well as a feeling of belonging to a group or community. Human beings are ‘social animals’. Our relationships with others contribute to feeling good, so it’s important to socially connect with others where we can. Developing healthy social relationships can increase our feelings of happiness, security, belonging and self-worth. Creating bonds with family and friends allows us to feel secure. Sharing positive experiences give us a chance to he...
