Two days before leaving I decided to postpone no more and do my first podcast in China. Being here is like being in some flow and some activities that easily are done in Portugal here encounter some resistance.

When we choose to improve some process in our lives – how do we do it? Are we aware that most of the choices that we do to improve sometimes reinforce the actual pattern that we are trying change and the improvement doesn’t necessarily happens but it gets even worst.

Closing means also celebrating. And this week besides the urge when I close a course I have to prepare the new on I reflected in the the importance for me of this subject.

Returning from a day of classes I reflect about closing processes – the theme of this month. And what if wanting a recipe, or opening a new process, means that you didn’t understood what are your resources and because of that you think you need something to improve your life in something? Understand your resources means that you are content with what you have right now. And don’t long for more. Happy sky gazing and enjoy your practice. Listen here to the podcast or download it.

Almost moving from Lisbon I start to close processes in my life. Since social network accounts – Sorry Tumblr and Ello – to courses that started in the Autumn season.

After two weeks of proper rest, I feel peace and time stretching very similar like when I got from Vipassina meditation back on 2008.

In this rest experience that I’m giving myself time and space to experiment I found out how can rest and a sense of easiness pours into other areas of my life. Today I did many things in diversity and still in the end I had time to rest and enjoy the end of the day. The reason is clear – it’s related to my sleep experiment, but the mechanism is still unclear. Happy sky gazing and enjoy your practice. Listen here to the podcast or download it.
