Kivid purki
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles roll
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles roll
ed into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.. The students responded with a unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.The students laughed..
‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—-your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—-and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.. The sand is everything else—-the small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and mow the lawn.
Take care of the golf balls first—-the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Usalda protsessi
"Hingeline avanemine võtab aega. Me ei saa sisemise ärkamise protsessi tagant kiirustada, ükskõik kui palju me seda ka ei tahaks. Teisest küljest võime usaldada, et kui protsess on ükskord alanud, siis sisemaailm avaneb."

Mõte
“You have to learn how to help a wounded child while still practicing mindful breathing. You should not allow yourself to get lost in action. Action should be meditation at the same time.”
- Thích Nhất Hạnh
Mõte
“Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothings others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”
- Don Miguel Ruiz

Mõte
“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity.”

Mõte
Mida tähendab sinu jaoks teadlikkus? Mis on teadlikkuse võti?Olla teadlik igast hetkest ja selles toimuvast. Olla siin ja praegu. Näha paralleelselt suurt ja väikest pilti. Olla mitte mõjutatud oma tunnatest ja mõtetest. Ühesõnaga, olla vaba.
Reet Aus / Alkeemia
Näha paralleelselt suurt ja väikest pilti... - mõnikord see õnnestub, mõnikord mitte.
Aga vajadust selle järele, selle olulisust, tunnen minagi.
Jooga
Keha on laisk, meel on elav ja hing on helendav. Jooga praktikad arendavad keha elava meele tasandile, nii et keha ja meelt, mis on mõlemad muutunud elavaks, tõmbab hinge valguse poole.
B. K. S. Iyengar / Alkeemia
Naised
Kui mehed on loomult need, kes loovad materiaalset maailma, kiirgavad jõudu ja stabiilsust, siis meie, naised, oleme olemuselt mittemateriaalse loojad - me loome meeleolu ja õhustikku, kodutunnet ja ilu. Armastuse energia on midagi, mis on just naistele loomuomaselt kättesaadav. Et see energia saaks meis vabalt voolata, vajab iga naine aega iseendale. See on püha aeg, mis võimaldab meil töötada läbi oma kogemusi ja laadida end uue energiaga. Oleme naistena justkui põhjatu hoolivuse ja armastuse kaevud, millest soovivad vett ammutada nii meie mehed, lapsed, sõbrad kui ka kolleegid. Meile on õpetatud, et peame kõigi nende jaoks olemas olema.
