lady liberty - 2009
All over the world, people in poverty are demanding dignity. They want an end to the injustice and exclusion that keep them trapped in deprivation. They want to have control over the decisions that affect their lives. They want their rights to be respected and their voices to count.
presence - 2009
give up yourself unto the moment. the time is now. just be, experience in the moment, the here and now, in your own company and in the company of others. the mind becomes absorbed in the present moment, along with the inner space and the immediate environment, until all merge into undifferentiated “being”. this beeing grounds you, clears your mind and opens your heart.
adho mukha svanasana - 2009
in order to grow tall and sturdy, a plant needs strong roots nestled deep in the rich soil of earth. with the adho mukha svanasana we strengthen the muladhara chakra, which literally means root. our purpose here is to build a strong foundation that will support and strengthen a body that is healthy and strong, and stability in our livelihood.
fair trade - 2009
everybody wants to be treated fair and yes that should be a human right. first you have to start with yourself. In finding out who you really are you can honor your awarness, the light in you. you fell lucky if you tread others as well as you want to be treated. not all trade is fair! farmers and workers at the beginning of the chain don’t always get a fair share of the benefits of trade. fairtrade enables consumers to put this right. fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade and is based on a partnership between producers and consumers. fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade. this allows them the opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. fairtrade offers consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their every day shopping. http://www.fairtrade.net/ if fair trade certification would get a global standard it would result in less profits for big trade concerns but for much better living standards in developing countries. consuming countries should/could start with a fair trade tax for goods that aren't traded fair and aren't produced sustainable. global trade companies would have to change to fair trade conditions.
krishnamurti - 2009
"The core of Krishnamurti's teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said: 'Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual. Freedom is not a reaction; freedom is not a choice. It is man's pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity. Thought is time. Thought is born of experience and knowledge which are inseparable from time and the past. Time is the psychological enemy of man. Our action is based on knowledge and therefore time, so man is always a slave to the past. Thought is ever-limited and so we live in constant conflict and struggle. There is no psychological evolution. When man becomes aware of the movement of his own thoughts he will see the division between the thinker and thought, the observer and the observed, the experiencer and the experience. He will discover that this division is an illusion. Then only is there pure observation which is insight without any shadow of the past or of time. This timeless insight brings about a deep radical mutation in the mind. Total negation is the essence of the positive. When there is negation of all those things that thought has brought about psychologically, only then is there love, which is compassion and intelligence."
power of love - 2009
when the power of love overcomes the love of power ... the world will know peace (jimi hendrix)
proletarian - 2009
if we want to solve the economic problems we need a worldwide improvment of healthy living and working condition. with the gloablisation big companies achieved big profits with the exploitation of natural resources and workpeople. to reform labor conditions worldwide proletarians should associate all around the globe demanding more rights. the world and the population will win if the minimum standard of worker protection improves.
Kukkutasana - 2009
When you are balanced and when you listen and attend to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit, your natural beauty comes out (christy turlington).
open-hearted - 2009
I believe that at every level of society - familial, tribal, national and international - the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities. (http://dalailama.com)
kakasana - 2009
keep up the balance. concentrate on your body and soul, this is what you really are. the more you limit the focus of yourself the less you can loose yourself. with exercises you can improve this power in your center, it will strengthen your self-confidence, your courage, your concentration and your will power.
buddha - 2009
whatever living beings there are, wheter they be weak or strong wheter long, large, average, short, big or small, seen or unseen, dwelling near or far, born or to be born - may all beings be happy.
bringbacklove - 2009
natural life is very basic. you don't need a bounty to feel good. feel free to bring back love to everything you think, to everything you speak and to everything you do.
kapotasana - 2009
open up your heart. feel the heat that spreads from your chest through all your body. this created virtue escorts you, with a smile you can pass it to your environment.
sunkmanitutanka - 2009
the wolf as protozoan embodies the archetype of freedom and mysticism. when the moon shows his his full form the wolves carol.
reasoning - 2008
our roots are in africa, the continent with the highest poverty. the problem is often that the goverments there don't acting in the interest of the population. if we really want to help africa, we have to built non-corrput goverments and business management in our countries first. it's easy for a corrupt, selfish african leader to find bad examples in the 'rich/developed' countries around the globe.
fireplay - 2008
the light and the energy of the sun is crucial for our live. the days around christmas was originaly a celebration because the days begin to lenghen after the winter solstice. today christians celebrate the birth of jesus this days, a symbol full of compassion and love.
Padmasana - 2008
take the time to try a meditation. you have nothing other to do - just sit and breath, sit and breath, sit and breath. close your eyes, sit and breath and so on :-) take your time and experience the concentration you need just for sitting and breathing and dont go after a thought. stop thinking - just notice your breath. this concentration is the first step for meditation.

dolphinboy - 2008
children don't want to possess a dolphin. they enjoy it's playfulness. as a parent it's a big pleasure and great chance to witness this friskiness in our children.
horsewhisperer - 2008
a horse whisperer uses a non-violent communication in a language known to the horses. he can help this way even problem horses to break through anxieties. we adults should listen to the children very carefully. with their unprejudiced lifestyle they have access to other dimensions.

knight of the trees - 2008
earlier the knight of the trees was a strong, ruling and protective power. in this time he is very weakened and bleak. he needs our help.
buddha - 2008
siddhattha gotama, known as the buddha 'the enlightened one' - never claimed to be anything other than a man. after years of searching and trying various methods, he discovered a way to gain insight into the reality of his own nature and to experience true freedom from suffering. (the art of living - vipassana meditation, s. n. goenka)

"The freedom to have my own mind without others trying to influence me.
The freedom to be loved, and not hurt.
The freedom to be accepted, and understood, to make mistakes and not be judged.
The freedom to walk with my head held high, and confidence without others trying to tear me down.
The freedom to be me........"
Wishing you love, strength, happiness, memories and peace in the coming days and freedom from influence, hurt, and judgment for the rest of your life.
I am honored to be your friend. Thank you for accepting my request.
