Karina Guerra Reflexionemos sobre la verdad #2 acerca de nuestros sueños

"Todo lo que hoy vemos empezó como un sueño"

Cuando lleguen a ti pensamientos como “es sólo un sueño” que actúen en tu contra para detenerte en el camino hacia la conquista del tuyo recuerda que todo lo que ves empezó como un sueño. Tú misma persona es el resultado de un sueño. Un día tus padres soñaron con tener un hijo y naciste tú. La computadora que usas, el Internet, la energía eléctrica, Planeta de Mujeres, la ropa que traes puesta, la cama… Continue

Administrator Forgive the hurts

Forgive the hurts (by HigherAwareness.com) "Forgiveness will never fail to free you." -- Jerrold Mundis How do we forgive when we’re angry and hurt? As a first step, we can be willing to truly feel our anger and hurt. Honouring our feelings by being fully present with them helps to release the feelings themselves. And it helps to remember that people only hurt others when they themselves are in pain. When we can recognize the other person’s suffering, our heart can open in comp… Continue

En esta CAVERNA, reflexionamos sobre la descortesía y la violencia verbal, sobre el daño o el placer que puede suponer para las personas utilizar una expresión en vez de otr… Continue

Mariana FOCUS

What do we focus on? If we keep focusing on the abuser, then we leave little time and energy to focus on ourselves as victims of abuse. Abusers know exactly what to say to make the victim feel responsible for something they are not. They aim to confuse people so they can keep control of the victim and the whole situation. If we focus on them, we might fall in this place where we will spend our entire lives speaking about the abuser, which is exactly what abusers want. We are empowering… Continue

Mariana Fight or Flight

Some time ago, I read a book called "Getting to Yes" by Fisher, Ury, and Patton. It's basically a book on negotiation techniques used for business purposes, but it helped me a lot in my personal life. I am a firm believer of the things I stand for. Hence, I tend to defend my views till the bitter end. My approach to solving problems was rather fight than flight. On top of it, when I was born (November the 20th, 1962), my mom asked an "astrologist" to draw my birth chart and they found that I ha… Continue

very good, lola. we spend way too much time 'feeling bad' for the sake of others. when we don't, it does not mean that we do not care. i like this statement: " if you do not respect yourself, you can't expect anyone else to either."
