Habits are these automatisms allowing us to accomplish something easily and without engaging a lot of attention. These actions have been learned through living experiences, learning, exercise or by repetitions.
We tend to distinguish them between positive, good habits and negatives, bad habits.
For example, we consider practicing physical exercises as a good habit. Smoking as a bad habit. Sleeping enough hours and eating healthy as positive habits. Going to bed late and eat junk food as negative habits.   [Weiterlesen]

To what purpose would you like to dedicate more time ? Which aspects of your life do you wish to nourish by taking time every day?
Dedicate Time is the practice I wish to reinforce during this year. I associate it with taking time to reconnect within me in order to then connect with what is around me: people I love, nature, work projects… My intention for the new year is to continue to dedicate time to connections 🙂

For these autumnal days, I would like to share with you some inputs I got from an article by Kate Yoder about subtraction (1).

Two years ago, we presented the Drawdown project. The aim of this project is to help the world reach “Drawdown”— the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change — as quickly, safely and equitably as possible. I am very happy to inform you that this project is still dynamic and active. New material has been put together in 6 units, developing 6 different topics about climate change.
But how this topic is connected with bodyawareness and being aware of our automatic pattern?

In our two previous articles we focused first on the calming breathing practice and then on exhaling. Today, the last article of the respiration series, inspired by James Nestor (∆) will focus on the activating quick breathing.   [Weiterlesen]

This is the second article about the breathing training series. As I said in my previous article, I have some new material that provides us some new options for training with our most underestimate ability: the breathe (∆).
Today, we will focus on the exhaling part of breathing.   [Weiterlesen]
