如果能从失败中汲取教训，失败亦是成功。
Often people fear that they’re lost when they feel that efficiency and money as highest values. This happens often especially when you’re brought up in a culture of high discipline. In such an education, under such a development or in such a culture there’s no space for failure.
But to be honest; it’s very human, that ………..

Unconscious body language of couples
While sleeping people usually behave very spontaneously. They are as they are, not self-controlled, not posing or doing anything special. Also while sleeping a couple behaves in a way that opens a deep insight into their relationship.
Nonverbally. They relate to each other in an unconscious way which mirrors their deep Connection and wishes for one another.
A Russian photographer once realized that many of her friends got pregnant. They as future parents…………

“Discharging” is a survival activation
the production (charge) of energy through respiration and metabolism and discharge of energy in motion and movement are the fundamental processes of life. How much energy you have and how you use this energy, determines the way you respond to a situation, to life. The more energy you can put into free movement and expression, the better you can deal with different situations, with life.
I will talk about this later this week and will relate this to man, feeling, behavior and so on.
Please kee in mind discharging is a very normal process in life and a survival pattern or survival activation. Just have a look how this looks like.

Falling – Failing?
就算失败了，我会一次又一次的尝试。因为当我决定放弃的那一刻，我就真正的失败了。
If I fail, I try again, and again, and again. Because the moment I give up, is the moment I fail.
Function of the eyes (an embodyed story -part 8 -)
Eyes are the key:
Awareness and attention needs digestion (an embodyed story part -6-)
my attention jumped from one little detailed piece to another. There were so many that, if I had really jumped in too deep, it would have last ages to find orientation and not getting lost.
It is just like in real life I thought. Being confronted with so many details which cry for attention or being watched and observed that it would be too much for our little brain just to let go. Though letting go is a basic experience and principle to survive in this chaos which determins real life.
Being able to let go in this chaos, and I can tell you it is not easy at all, brings us to some resting pole in order to calm down. To calm down and digeste what we have seen and what has overwhelmed us without (often) consciously realizing it.
So to make it short: following the process of your awareness / attention always has to lead to moments of digesting. Otherwise we get lost in and by awareness.
So I want to invite you to lie down besides this beautiful looking jung lady, have a rest and enjoy.
