Beautiful testimony from Sweden

In May 2009 I downloaded the movie and started using the four sentences that Isha teaches, right away. At first I thought I had to translate them into my own language Swedish, to make them truly effective - but how I tried, I could not find a formulation that felt good, was smooth and strong. So I just went along with it in english, and about two weeks later noticed that my interaction with people was changing. I was so much more relaxed, open, unfearful, there was no reservations, no critical feelings, but much more joy! And later still, I opened up to my own creativity, very naturally and found that instead of longing, dreaming, being frustrated and full of anxiety- I was actually DOING! And there was no drama in this, it was all so very easy and joyous.

I am 55 and have been "conditioning" myself since I was about 18 - and I have never experinced anything so freeing and powerful. My creativity has always eluded me, like a hidden gem, gleaming at the bottom of a well. In periods I have been there, close - but always full of doubt and fear. And now I feel I could acually pick it up, and embrace it - not watching it but beeing a part of it. Or it in me.

I am deeply thankful for this.

True Intelligence: Beyond The Intellect

A Japanese Zen master once received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.

The master served tea. The Japanese tea ceremony is long and complex, and the scientist became increasingly impatient as the master went calmly through the 54 steps of the ceremony. When the tea was ready... (Read More)

Isha back on Care2: Forget Vacations and Staycations: How About a BEcation?

The vacation. The high point of the year, the oasis of freedom in a desert of routine. Vacations make the monotony of the mundane more bearable, shining a light on the horizon we can look forward to.

We imagine our perfect week of bliss. The white sand. The transparent ocean. The freedom to do nothing at all. (Read More)
