Gespreksmiddag over codependentie 18-12-2011

This butterfly is on the CD that was created from the afternoon

Today, 18-12-2011 held an afternoon talk about codependency in my home. Johan, Riemke, Cornelie and Arthur were the participants shared their experiences about the dysfunctional family.

It is striking that both Riemke as at Cornelie the situation so that their parents had wished she were a boy and had his. For me that was reversed. I had my mother is a girl and should therefore not be. It was striking how many negative messages we all received in our youth. I suggested that for every negative message 20 positive should stand e.e.a. neutralizing.

We shared and Arthur said he felt really good to feel that he was not the only one and there was not only. I have, of course with the consent of the participants, a recording of ca.42 minutes made heard here: Gespreksgroep 181211

We have 2 h finely divided in peace, love and harmony and I was stirred to allow tranens. The participants thanked me for the nice afternoon. We ruled out, gave no advice, but listened and shared and that was very nice and encouraging.

Participants found my ocean drum very beautiful, here you can get away from meegenieten: Ocean drum

The NU…

the only time is between past and future, which really made me life and that is the NOW. Many worry about the past and do not see that the past is no more than a slipstream, you can not change, just the way you look at it, you can change. Others worry about the future, I think of the man who said:"The most worried I've made to me about things that never happened!’. There are many who think that it's going to come all well in the future and now do nothing, Ingeborg Bosch calls it 'False hope' as a defense of old pain. "False hope" is based on the as…then principle, once I got that job then it will go well with me, etc.

Many forget to live in the eternal now, with its many moments and aspects, a well-known poem still here in place is:

” The past is history, the future is a mistery, this moment is a gift, that’s why we call it present
Thinking is the major culprit that, Unlike the feel and experience, Never in the now.
Descartes began by saying that nonsense:'I think therefore I am'.

Meditate on the way that suits you best and feel what it's like to be in the NOW. I do so with singing bowls and edelsteenbollen and ho'oponopono and mindfulness, either alert, attentive, judgmental (very difficult for me) presence in the NOW. Wabi sabi feels to me very well there will still override. ‘Vergankelijkheid, onvolmaaktheid, eenvoud, nederigheid, oprechtheid, harmonie, zuiverheid, rust, satisfaction… These are the key qualities of wabi sabi. Het volmaakte zien in de onvolmaakteheid, de perfectie in de imperfectie.

By Eckhart Tolle I learned a lot about the NOW. In his book The Power of Now, in practice, "he writes: "To the ego the present moment hardly exists, only the past and the future, considers it important "and: "If you accept what is, any time it is best, that's enlightenment on my toilet hanging my judgment: "The acceptance is the key to transformation"

Osho says nice things about it NOW in "The Book of Being '. Osho says:"I can only help you if I destroy you, I like your past, your knowledge, your ideas, you conditionings, destroy your personality. Only by destroying you, I can tell you a new beginning, a fresh revive "Goethe said:'Dying and becoming'

We lose ourselves in the (often obsessive)thinking to do and forget the pronunciation:’We are human beings not human doings’

The Presence Process is a book by Michael Brown and also about NOW. On the back cover sheet:"The conscious and disciplined use of attention and intention are the main pillars of the process'. He owes me some too simplistic to say that you are in a space of 10 weeks e.e.a. you realize, for me it's life's work. I do not believe in instant solutions and quick fixes.

Every time 'stop' to say to yourself as you again 'ns are obsessively concerned with the past and the future, unless you want to heal the past and still want to process in the moment and unless you make a nice future plans that are realistic.

The voice of Doetinchem

M’n buurmeisjes Anne en Babs kwamen naar me toe met het verzoek of ik een CD wilde opnemen van een liedje dat ze zelf hadden gemaakt en of ik ze wilde begeleiden op m’n gitaar. Buurjongen Willem wilde graag jembee spelen. Ik vond dat een leuk idee en verleende graag m’n medewerking en zo is The voice of Doetinchem ontstaan, hier volgt de geluisopname: anne en babs 2 MP3
