Transferring Wellness

We are in the era of editing and programming and even transferring DNA. 
However, never left behind the task of  refining and cultivating our mental and moral qualities, for the sake of humanity and dignity.

Set out mindfully

Take a break

Reflect 

Plan your next destination 

Set out ...... again!

～正念出發～

稍作停留

反思

計畫您的下一個目的地

重新出發！

Real good friend

The qualities of a real good friend:

They offer you what is hard to give. 

They help you for what is hard to do. 

They undergo with you what is hard to endure. 

They reveal their secrets to you. 

They keep your secrets. 

When misfortunes strike, they do not abandon you. 

When you're down and out, they do not look down on you. 

If your friend possesses one or more of the above qualities, you are no doubt the lucky person in the world. 

On the contrary, If your friends do not obtain any of above qualities, please don’t be disappointed.

First, use “diary” as your close friend who listens to you, tell it all your emotions and write down a self-encouraging quote everyday.

Then, perform a 10-minutes loving-kindness meditation daily to establish your own goodwill.

In the near future, good friends and great teachers will appear one after another in your life.

「善友」的特質：

他們提供您很難給予的所需。 

他們協助您哪些難以完成的事物。 

他們與您共度難以忍受的事情。 

他們向您透露他們的秘密。

他們保守您的秘密。

當不幸來襲時，他們不會放棄您。 

當您跌入人生谷底時， 他們不會瞧不起您。

倘若您的朋友具備以上其中一個或更多的特質，您顯然是世界上的幸運兒。

相反地，如果您身邊的友人，完全不具備以上任何特質，請不要就此感到失望。

首先，以「日記」作為聽您傾訴的朋友，並每天寫下一句勉勵自己的話語。

然後每天進行10分鐘的慈心觀，以便建立自己的善緣。

不久的將來，善友和善知識就會一一出現在您的生命中。

The Ecstasy of Surrender

Tired of arguing, resisting, holding back, fighting, overthinking, torturing yourself with self-doubt?

Spend 20 minuets with Dr. Judith Orloff and learn the skill of “surrender”—— an ability to give yourself wholeheartedly to something.

Perhaps, “surrender” is a gateway to “let it be” and “let go”.

＜令人欣喜若狂的臣服＞

對「爭論、抵制、阻攔、鬥爭、想太多、用自我懷疑來折磨自己」感到厭倦嗎？

用20分鐘與Dr. Judith Orloff學習「臣服」的技巧——一個讓自己全心全意投入的能力。

或許，「臣服」是步入「隨順」與「放下」的途徑。

Self-transformation through Mindfulness

20 minutes TEDx talk

“Although we do not have any control of what was happened in the past, we have the power in this moment and going forward, to choose how we pay attention to our thoughts and emotions. Every moment then becomes an opportunity for us to change the way we perceive the world and ease the burden....... So, I leave you with the question: what will you fill your mind?”

 雖然我們無法控制過去發生的事情，但我們具有能力於邁進的當下，去選擇我們如何關注自己的思想和情緒。如此一來，每一個當下將成為我們重新認識世界和減輕負擔的轉機.......所以，我給您留下一個問題：你會如何填滿你的思緒？

Cognitive Neuroscientist, Dr. David Vago

After the talk, why not considered to kick off a 5-10 minutes Mindfulness Practice everyday?

聽完演講，何不開始每日5～10分鐘的正念練習？
