Ideme z meetingu na meeting, na nakup, po deti do skolky. Alebo len potrebujete chvilku na cerstvom vzduchu. Kazda sekunda, kazdy nas nadych a vydych, je nas. Nasa sanca byt tu a teraz. Nasa prileztisot priblizit sa k sebe.Ja som isla po dcerku do skolky a po ceste som si dala 5 minut meditacia. Spritomnenia sa. Najdite aj vy ten moment kedy tu budete pre seba.Namaste

Predstavte si, ako vsetky vase veci ktore mate radi, zmiznu. Predstavte si, ako vasi kamarati zmiznu. Ako vasa rodina, mizne. Vasa miestnost v ktorej sedite. A zrazu je prazdno. Ste len vy, bezmyslienkovo. Bez pamatovo. To je pomynutelnost. To je smrt. Smrt prichadza v beznom dni, bez ocakavani. Vsetko mizne, je ticho. Naucme sa rozymslat nad pominultenostou a prestaneme sa bat smrti. Uvedomenie si nasej smrtelnosti nam pomaha sustredit sa na nas pristup k zivotu, na to, kto a na com zalezi, na to, za co sa oplatíi bojovat… a za co nie. Moze to zniet neintuitivne, ale uznanim smrti sa stavame zivsimi. Vsetko dava na pravu mieru. Vsimava smrt znamena celit smrti. Tym, ze budeme celit smrti, ide o to, ze sa zbavíme strachu zo smrti. Smrt je velka neznama – nevieme ako, kedy ani kde – a mysel ma tendenciu bat sa toho, co je nezname. Budme tu a teraz a uvedomme si nasu pominultenost.

Oslavme spolu svoju Zensku Energiu na MDZ🌷 Dnesny den, nieje oslavou socialistickeho sviatku. Je to oslava nas vsetkych, muzov ci zien. Pretoze vsetci v sebe mame zensku aj muzksu energiu. Muzska je dolezita koli ‘doer’ attitude, planovaniu, splnovaniu golov. Ta zenska, je ta kreativna, intuitivna, ta energia ktora sa zamerava na prijatie. Tak podme oslavovat tu zensku energiu, ktora sa nam rozvija hlavne v energii srdca, alebo srdcovej cakre. Toto je energia Lasky, Sucitu, Empatie, Odpustenia. A ak nie teraz, tak kedy, potrebujeme prave tychto pocitov a emocii viac. Potrebujeme ich pre utecenov z Ukrajiny, potrebuju ich oni, ale potrebuju ich aj opresori, agresori, ti, co mozno teraz konaju z hnevu a nenavisti. Dajme si tychto 5 minut meditacie aby sme sebe, nasej zenskej energii, a nasmu srdcu dopraili pocit Lasky, Sucitu a Odopustenia.👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👨 Krasny den MDZ Vam vsetkym, Namaste ✨ #caspreseba #mentalnezdravie Song credit: Time for Greatness, Fia

Kolko krat do dna si poviete ake je nieco zle, ako sa nieco nedari, nebodaj si vynadate ze ste zase nieco zabudli, nedkonocili, nakricali na niekoho. A pre porovnanie, kolko krat si uvedomite co vsetko mate, ake mate stastie mat taky zivot aky mate, podakujete sami sebe za vsetko co ste zvladli alebo za to aky ste? 🤷‍♀️ Temnota u nas v zivotoch prevlada. Ci su case miru,alebo vojny ako prave teraz. Malo krat sa pozastavime a povieme si, Dakujem🙏. Za to co mam, za to aka som. Tak podme to spravit spolu. 1x denne, tyzdenne alebo iba ked vas to napadne. Napiste si za co ste vdacny, a co si na sebe vazite. Uvedomite si, aspon na ten moment ked to pisete, ze ste tu a teraz. A kolko dobreho tu a teraz mate. Potrebujete pero/papier ✍️📄alebo len telefon📱 a 3 minuty vasho casu. Vase dusevne zdravie sa vam za to odvdaci, dlhodobo.  Namaste✨ #casnaseba #mentalnezdravie Song credit: O, I love you : Essie Jain

Pomaha nam brzdit akutnu stresovu reakciu, ktora vie dlhobodo sposobovat rozne zdravotne problemy.V dnesnom cviceni budeme vdychovat cez nos a vydychovat ustami so zvukom PSSSHHHT. Prave tato technika nam pomoze predlzit svoj vydych. V situaciach kedy pocituje strach alebo uzkost a chceme sa ukludnit, je dych nasim najlepsim kamaratom.Budeme robit nadych nosom, na 4 doby a vydych ustami na 8 dob. Prave dlhsi vydych dava telu znamenie, ze nieste v zivote ohrozoujcom prostredi, nepotrebujete utekat alebo bojovat. Telo sa tym padom uvolni a pomaha uvolnit aj mysel.Toto cvicenie mozte robit hocikedy cez den, ked pocitujete uzkost, hnev, strach. Alebo aj vecer pred spanim, aby sa vam mysel ukludnila a mali ste lepsi spanok.Prajem vam krasny den,Namaste ✨Music credit: Breathe it In, Beautiful Chorus#breathwork #dychovecvicenie #ukludnenie #caspreseba

Poznate ten pocit ked vidite nieco nechutne, zazijete nieco neprijemne, alebo sa vystrasite a vase telo sa STRASIE? Je to nasa intuitivna reakcia na zbavenie sa negativneho pocitu v tele. V nasej spolocnosti nieje ok tancovat na ulici, vykricat sa, vybijat negativitu. Co sa potom deje je, ze nam tieto emocie zostavaju v tele, su nespracovane a vytvaraju nam dlhodobe fyzicke ale aj mentalne problemy. Shake it off je cesta ako sa zbavit tychto nezprocesovanych emocii a pocitov. Mozte to robit denne, kedykolvek a kdekolvek. Zatvorte sa na 🚽 v praci po tazkom meetingu alebo rano v 🚿 po precitani sprav, alebo po tazkom dni ako rodina, vypeckujte oblubene pesnicky a chodte do toho. Zacnime sami sebou, najdime vnutorny klud a rozvaznost aby sme mohli pomahat tym, ktory to teraz naozaj potrebuju. Namaste ✨Song credit: Intention by EarthRise SoundSystem
