Holistic Health

Cherish every small blessings you got, that's how you'll get content in life. Don't sweat small stuffs, that's to keep your emotion at a balanced state. Keep your mind clear, learn and read everyday. Put on a smile. Live a healthy life by eating more vegetables and doing physical exercise regularly. Try those, and keep your beautiful youth look longer than you've ever imagined because you've got a holistic health.

A person to prove my statement, Chandra Kirana, we all call her Mbak Kiki. She's still slim and beautiful despite her activity as an activist and a mother of four children. She's been involved in environmental organization since she was still in college. She joined a nature lover organization then. And she's been working with Greenpeace too.

Be healthy, holistically. A highlighted point of my conversation tonight with her. And sitting next to her on our dinner, she shared her happiness to me. She showed me pictures she kept in her cell-phone photo gallery...Pictures of all things that made her smile and made me smile too. Should it be the most important thing in her life (her husband and children), of simply a close up of a blossom blue lotus she kept in her garden back home.

Half of the office (maybe more...he he) went dinner with her. And we're having such a great time together. Tomorrow, she'll be the source person for a Focused Group Discussion here in Walhi South Kalimantan. Nice to meet an inspiring woman like Mbak Kiki.

Take Charge!

When you take charge of your life,
there is no longer need to ask permission of other people or society at large.
When you ask permission, you give someone veto power over your life.

Geoffrey F. Arbert

I like the quotation in a way that it supported what I did these past few years. Since I get into college life, and involved in many outdoor sport activities. Hiking, rock climbing, kayaking...the choice that at first gained my mother's disagreement. But I do it anyway, take a good care and still breathing in one piece until today...:)

And now, I've chosen to become a good [great to be] facilitator. Become an NGO-ers instead of being a teacher after graduated from English Teaching Department. Well, its a life I love to live. And, with integrity I'd be able to treasure my journey.

Sometimes it's still hard to synchronize my elements in creating my self-integrity. But, I keep on tryin'. Thanks Shadow, for the quote inspiration.

The Seven Chakra

Truly incidental, today's date is 07/07/07 and as I watch Avatar, the legend of Ang on a DVD I borrow from Mang Koko.

Avatar is one of my place to gain lots of words of wisdom. Most are applicable. And I just love this episode I recently watched. The title is 'Guru', one of the episode on the second season of Avatar. Here, Ang is learning to gain the full control of his 'Avatar state', in which he becomes most powerful. And, a guru lead him to open his seven chakra. The chakra's are:


1. Earth Chakra
It deals with strength and is blocked by fear. By surrender all the fear to its nature, we can unleash its energy.

2. Water Chakra
Bring along pleasure and is blocked by guilt. Release all guilt that burdened our soul, accept the reality to release the energy of the chakra. The guru said: 'If you want to bring positive influence on the world, forgive yourself'

3. Fire Chakra
Located on our stomach. I don't really focus on the conversation, but i think it has something to do with self-esteem, cos the energy of the chakra is blocked by shame. The key to unleash the energy of it is..'Don't deny your life'....

4. Heart chakra
Deals with love and is blocked by grief. One should realize that love is an energy. Altough you face the loss of people you love, keep in mind that love actually still inside of your heart. Love then reborn in a form of new love

5. Sound chakra
It is located on one's throat. All about truth, so it is blocked by lies. You cannot lie about your nature. And to release the energy of it, you must accept the nature of your self.

6. Life Chakra
Located on your central forehead. Insight is the energy. Blocked by illution. Stated that the biggest illution is the illution of separation. Well, separation is actually only illution. Realize that 'all connected' would unleash the energy of it

7. Crown Chakra
Located on the crown of your head. It deals with your connection to the unlimited cosmic energy. Earthy attachment blocks the energy. A way to release the energy is by meditating. Trying to let go all the earthy attachments, let them flow away and forgotten. That't the way to let the pure cosmic energy flow into yourself.

I wrote it because the Guru said that by having all the energy of the chakras, we'll have complete control and awareness of all our action in the avatar state. So that I can practice going in and out the Avatar state, he he... :-B

Attitude

One little difference that makes a big difference is attitude. Yes, attitude. A person's attitude represents how they feel or their state of mind about something. Whether you like or dislike something. Thus, attitude can be positive or negative.


Somehow, positive attitude would help you to see that there's another sunshine after the rain. And according to Mac Anderson, the founder of SimpleTruths 'the difference in success or failure is not how you look, not how you dress, not even how you’re educated. It’s how you think!' He shared some keys to stay positive in today’s world, those which I feel like to share again to those who read my blog..:)
