Books are the revolution

“But evidence from psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience suggests that when students multitask while doing schoolwork, their learning is far spottier and shallower than if the work had their full attention. They understand and remember less, and they have greater difficulty transferring their learning to new contexts. So detrimental is this practice that some r…esearchers are proposing that a new prerequisite for academic and even professional success—the new marshmallow test of self-discipline—is the ability to resist a blinking inbox or a buzzing phone.”

Burning desire

Burning desire

“To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves”

Federico Garcia Lorca

The burning desire is radically human. It mirrors the intensive inner energy, which is so to say the utmost emotional need to be expressed. It has to be expressed, whatever intensitiy you will feel.

To be quiet about it means in this sense not to express this desire not at all. to be quiet means to resist to it`s inner dynamics and rhythm. To be quiet means to reduce your life, your vitality, the respect you can have for yourself.

This burning desire keeps us going, keeps us moving out into the world. This burning desire carries and supports our emotions, our inner life. This burning desire structures our mind, our brain, which accompanies us to find orientation.

This burning desire is the essence of our awareness. Awareness of the world around me, the awareness of myself and the awareness of the others around me wo give sense to my life.

Overwhelming, blind discipline, steady and rigid rationality as well as fighting (self-) control are enemies of this burning desire.

People do often change, but mostly they don`t talk about it.

Growing lovesickness in Europe and China

Growing lovesickness in Europe and China

More and more young people, around the age of 27 to 35 moan about lovesickness. Of course everybody knows that this feeling is a part of life. But it is also part of life that after some time of moaning people find a new partner with whom they relate.

The fact I talk about is relevant in so far as more and more of those people also complain about the shortness of their relationships. This means a love relationship lasts not so long as it did before. The people in Germany therefore already talk about “Generation lovesickness”.

Of course there are many reasons for this development in society and yet one can say that the speed, fragmentation and the essential change of the work is one main reason for that. People live in a spiral of always getting faster, higher, richer and so on. There is no ……..

Rich people just care less

Rich people just care less

Did you ever think about some social or human consequences of loving to earn money and to get rich?

Did you ever think about what will (perhaps if you don`t care) happen if you get rich and still believe you wouldl stay the same?

There might be one when you will realize this:

Turning a blind eye. Giving someone the cold shoulder. Looking down on people. Seeing right through them.

These metaphors for condescending or dismissive behavior are more than just descriptive. They suggest, to a surprisingly accurate extent, the social distance between those with greater power and those with less — a distance that goes beyond the realm of interpersonal interactions and may exacerbate the soaring inequality in the United States.

A growing body of recent research shows….

Myths about eye contact

There’s a lot of information on eye-contact, the power of eye-contact. There are also a lot of stories and lore as well as there is a lot of scientific research being done.

So, hard to find orientation within this thicket of information, results and (personal or stereotype) opinion. There’s a new study which shows that eye-contact is

Permanence of body language

“Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.” — Henry Matisse

Matisse is a very famous French artist (painting). I just came across one of his remarkable sentences. This underlines that there is more than just body language or nonverbal communication performed by the body itself or by the person himself.

Painting and other art is so to say an objective of body language. An objective which can be regarded as a very personal expression and a cultural expression.

Body language: genetic or learnt?

Body language: genetic or learnt?

This is an amazing project ” Genetic portraits” by Ulric Collette

A photographic research work on genetic similarities between members of the same Family.

There’s an old ongoing question and discussion, which never will be answered I think. It’s the question if body-language is genetic or social-learned.

Or the question what was earlier in the world: …………

The Psoas is:…..the orientation to the core of yourself

The Psoas is:…..the orientation to the core of yourself (1)

If you guessed C, you’re correct. Buried deep within the core of…your body, the psoas (pronounced “so-az”) affects every facet of your life, from your physical well-being to who you feel yourself to be and how you relate to the world. A bridge linking the trunk to the legs, the psoas is critical for balanced alignment, proper joint rotation, and full muscular range of motion. In yoga, the psoas plays an important role in every asana. In backbends, a released psoas allows the front of the thighs to lengthen and the leg to move independently from the pelvis. In standing poses and forward bends, the thighs can’t fully rotate outward unless the psoas releases. All yoga poses are enhanced by a released rather than shortened psoas. (When you reverse your orientation to gravity in inversions, however, the psoas must be toned as well as released to maintain proper spinal stability.)
