Die Individu

As die verwysingsraamwerk waarmee jy grootgeword het in duie stort, kan dit ‘n      mens op persoonlike en interpersoonlike vlak in ‘n krisis dompel.   Die verklarings wat jy gehad het vir dinge wat gebeur (of nie gebeur nie), is skielik nie meer geldig nie. Ou sekerhede word vervang deur vrae waarop jy by niemand beslissende antwoorde kry nie. Daar kan ‘n groot gevoel van verligting en bevryding kom as jy byvoorbeeld jou vrees vir straf-op-sonde verloor… maar terselfdertyd kan jy wroeg en wonder of jy nie dalk die grootste fout van jou lewe maak nie.    Om skielik intens alleen te voel, is ook ‘n algemene verskynsel. Die mense om jou saam met wie of voor wie jy grootgeword het, het nie noodwendig dieselfde kopskuiwe as jy gemaak nie. As jy dit waag om te sê wat jy regtig dink, staar jy die gevaar van verwerping in die gesig. As jy stilbly, voel dit of jy huigel.   By die NHN gaan niemand vir jou sê, “Hier is hoe jy moet dink / voel / maak nie. Wat ons wel kan doen, is om vir mekaar legkaartstukkies aan te gee.  As indiwidue kan ons met mekaar deel wat ons help om sin, betekenis en vreugde uit die lewe te put; hoe ons deur moeilike situasies en verhoudings gewerk het; wat ons inspireer en krag gee. Maar dis elke ou se eie taak om sy eie legkaart te bou met watter stukkies ookal vir hom of haar werk.    Neem asseblief deel aan die proses!  *Begin ‘n gesprek op ons gespreksforum *Stuur ‘n artikel vir plasing op die Indiwidu bladsy na antoinette@silence.co.za *Lewer kommentaar op die artikels wat reeds hier verskyn. * Skryf van 'n betekenisvolle tyd of gebeurtenis in jou lewe en stuur dit na antoinette@silence.co.za  vir plasing  by "Ons Mense se Stories".

• Can meditation be bad for you?
  Deur : Mary Garden
  If one isn't after enlightenment or spiritual experiences, then I can't help thinking that exercise may be better for physical and mental well being than meditation. I just love my morning swims in the local swimming pool.   [Lees Meer]


• Mindfulness: How to begin
  Deur : Rob Nairn
  Any form of activity in the world is dependent for its success or failure upon the degree of attention and clarity we are able to bring to it. These are qualities of mindfulness, so a mindful person is more likely to succeed in the world than someone whose mind is scattered and distracted  [Lees Meer]


• The Language of the Somatic Self
  Deur : Charlie Badenhop
  When your body is relaxed and breathing freely, it is saying "Yes" to life, and you are able to perform with confidence. When your body is tense and short of oxygen, it is saying "No" to life, and you might struggle and find it challenging to accomplish your goals.   [Lees Meer]


• Mind over Genes: The new biology
  Deur : Bruce Lipton, PhD
  It is now recognized that the environment, and more specifically, our perception (interpretation) of the environment, directly controls the activity of our genes. Environment controls gene activity through a process known as epigenetic control. This new perspective of human biology does not view the body as just a mechanical device, but rather incorporates the role of a mind and spirit. This breakthrough in biology is fundamental in all healing for  [Lees Meer]

Verhoudings

• Being
  Deur : David Schnarch
  As Human Beings, we have equal but opposing driving forces: on the one hand each of us want to be an individual -, achieve great things as an individual and be acknowledged as an individual. On the other hand, we want to be part of a relationship / a group / a "tribe"; we crave a sense of "belonging to"; being "emotionally connected to".   [Lees Meer]

Gebeure wat ons lewens beïnvloed

• How Doctors Die
  Deur : Prof Ken Murray
  It’s not a frequent topic of discussion, but doctors die, too. And they don’t die like the rest of us. What’s unusual about them is not how much treatment they get compared to most Americans, but how little. For all the time they spend fending off the deaths of others, they tend to be fairly serene when faced with death themselves. They know exactly what is going to happen, they know the choices, and they generally have access to any sort of medical care they could want. But they go gently.  [Lees Meer]
