I promise that I tried to sleep... again!

I tried to sleep but I found myself lost in my own thoughts... funny how most of the artists I know LOVE the silence of the night... and i'm sure many GREAT things are born during this period of "darkness". I wonder how many people are there "with me" , thinking, inside their own caves,exploring their deep rooted ideas that don't work anymore...using their minds to transform distorted perceptions as i am doing right now.... if this energy stuff really exists, there are lots of great vibration happening right now. And the lesson of the day (or night) is "adjust always": your distorted perceptions... your beliefs about "perfection"... your wrongful reasons for judgements...

RidicuLaRrRRrMente SimPriS!

WheN? Quando!?

If you tell yourself that happiness is only in the future, you are excuzing yourself to remain in sadness now. So if you can not allow happiness to happen right now,then you can not know how it feels like... then how can you recognize it in the future? This is an ilusion! You must allow happiness right now. The conditions you create for blocking it are an illusion.Can you let go of the preventive conditions you CREATED that are not leting you feel REAL pleasure while drinking a great capuccino (which you claim to love so much)? Can you really taste it? The more you believe in happiness...the more your eyes will be able to see it.And it must be right now!We must shift the meaning we created for thing in the past. If we believe that happiness is in far from now, then you will continuously chase it as it walk away from you. When we think about the future we want to experience...when we plan what we want to do and when we vision into the future, WHEN are we doing this mental rehearsal? Right NOW.So our bodies which are capable of FEELING,must be alligned to our minds... because our present moment is definelly our future.

Quando afirmamos para nós mesmos que a felicidade está no futuro,estamos dando desculpa esfarrapada para continuar na tristeza de agora.Sendo assim,se não conseguimos deixar a felicidade acontecer agora,fica bem difícil saber qual é o sabor dela!então como conseguir reconhecer ela no futuro? Isso é uma ilusão! Você precisa permitir a felicidade agora. Você precisa saborear o que você tem nas suas mãos. As condições que você se impõe para bloquear essa experiencia não tem lógica alguma! Você consegue abandonar essas condições preventivas imaginárias que não te levam a sentir prazer de verdade quando você bebe um capuccino que você diz gostar tanto? Você consegue saborear de verdade? Quanto mais acreditamos em felicidade, mais os nossos olhos conseguem enxergá-la.E tem que ser agora! Precisamos trocar o significado que colocamos nas coisas... Se continuarmos acreditando que a felicidade está distante de agora,vamos ficar perseguindo ela enquanto ela foge e foge... Quando pensamos no futuro que queremos experimentar... quando planejamos e imaginamos aquilo que queremos fazer no futuro,QUANDO é que fazemos esse "treinamento" mental? AGORA. Sendo assim o nosso CORPO que SENTE deve estar alinhado com a nossa mente...porque o nosso AGORA é definitivamente o nosso FUTURO.

The beauty of "losing control" - A beleza de "perder o controle"

The best experiences happen when we are not afraid of the unpredictable.  When we stop controlling the outcome with our worries, fears and irrational thoughts. When we trully  trust that we are working in a healthy way, we start experiencing little things which were not under our control...some little surprises start happening....And we know they are a result of our inner work  so we trust and allow the little things to happen and surprise us...

As nossas melhores experiências acontecem quando nós perdemos o medo do imprevisível. Quando nós paramos de tentar controlar tudo baseado nas nossas preocupações, medos e pensamentos irracionais. Quando nós confiamos verdadeiraente que estamos trabalhando num caminho saudável, nós começamos a experimentar pequenas coisas que não estavam sob nosso controle...Pequenas surpresas começam a aparecer.. e nós sabemos que elas são o resultado do nosso trabalho interno, e assim nós confiamos e permitimos que essas pequenas coisas nos peguem de surpresa...

a blank page... ;)

When not aware,we look at people in our life and we shift our behaviours and emotions in a way that match with who we believe we are for them.
Maybe an ex, or a boss that reminds us of self-deprecating feelings will trigger those same emotions whenever we "feel" like in a situation which have even the tiniest similiarity to that past one. So we unconsciously judge the event ahead of the experience. What if we can LOOK at people and situations as a brand new opportunity and not a record of our past? What if we can open our hearts to what it trully has to offer?How much energy do we waste,and great opportunity do we miss when we are not aware?



Quando não estamos conscientes, nós olhamos para as pessoas e alteramos nosso comportamento e emoções de um jeito que corresponda ao que acreditamos ser para elas.
Talvez um(a) ex ou um chefe nos faça recordar sentimentos de auto desvalorização...que desencadeiam aquelas mesma emoção sempre que você sentir que está numa situação parecida.Então inconscientemente, nós julgamos o evento antes de que possamos experimentá-lo!E se olharmos para as pessoas e situações como oportunidades totalmente novas e não como uma repetição do passado? E se nós abrirmos o coração para o que a experiencia realmente tem a oferecer? Quanta energia, realidade e experiências boas nós perdemos quando não estamos conscientes?

Pirata da Perna de Pau!!!

La vai o pirata! Sempre carregando a sua espada a tiracolo e com seu amigo papagaio no ombro...mas como todo bom pirata,ele precisa de planos e estratégias, tudo traçado no seu precioso mapa! E assim como o pirata tem um mapa que lhe guia até o ouro,temos um mapa interno que também tem o objetivo de nos guiar até o ouro!

Seguimos rigorosamente as instruções desse nosso mapa,todo elaborado por nós mesmos,na esperança de encontrar o nosso baú de fortunas!

O detalhe é que muitas vezes o nosso mapa foi um pouquiiiinho mal desenhado...E ele nos bota em muitas armadilhas!Mas...como bons designs de mapa que podemos ser, conseguimos pegar as rédeas da nossa criatividade e mudar o destino dos trilhos para finalmente pisar em terras muito férteis.

A gente aprende caminhos,e percorre aquilo com tanta freqüência que um belo dia aquele caminho fica fácil de fazer.Decorado, sem esforço! É tão automático que não pensamos mais...O corpo simplesmente faz sem precisar pedir pra fazer.E a repetição TRANSFORMA aquele movimento em realidade. Ficar sem realizar aquilo “parece estranho demais!” .

E muitas vezes as estratégias do pirata vão literalmente “por água abaixo”, mesmo quando aquele plano parecia ser tão infalível! (Nosso querido Cebolinha que o diga!)!!

Então o Seu Zé da padaria é famoso na vizinhança por ser aquele tiozão brabo!Ele aprendeu(e mapeou isso muito bem!) que intimidar os funcionários com gritaria e ameaça é a melhor forma de mantê-lo sob controle.Ele foi melhorando sua habilidade com o tempo,até o dia que ele já acordava com os nervos a flor da pele só de pensar na coitada da faxineira.Esse pirata toca o barco dessa forma com tanta proeza que resolveu alastrar esse comportamento pra dentro de casa também! O “prazer” de controlar e de ficar brabo faz parte do seu mapa,e ele tem que cumprir!Aliás... ele nem se dá conta de como é ser diferente disso mais...

E aquela história do stress no corpo... é um estado alterado de ser...de estar... E ao longo de anos... TCHARAM! É isso aí mesmo! Viver a base de um mapa alterado como esse vai trazer SIM algum tipo de doença!(porque não há corpo suporte alta carga de stress _ Alguma hora, esse corpo PIFA! O nosso corpo não foi desenhado pra viver nessa alteração... isso FOGE do estado natural de harmonia!). E o Seu Zé ainda é capaz de culpar os funcionários e a família pela sua doença com acusações como:  “Tá vendo ?? Foi culpa DELES !  Me passaram muito stress a vida toda!”

Ele na verdade corre o risco de JAMAIS saber a realidade: Ele nunca se amou.Se tivesse se amado, jamais teria SE permitido viver naquele estado alterado.

E nós, como bons piratas, temos que nos dispor a mudar o barco de direção! Afinal de contas, isso é uma ESCOLHA! Seu Zé preferiu ser passivo. Mas nós queremos ser criativos!E assim estamos dispostos a reescrever DETALHEZINHOS que possam estar muito bem escondidos nos nossos mapas mas que... por maioOoOorrr que seja o nosso apego àquele inimigo (que SABEMOS que mora no barco)...precisamos TIRAR ELE DE  LÁ!

E aí , piratas? Vamos rumo a armadilha ou ao baú de ouro!???

Protest of Today - At Rua Consolação , São Paulo , BraSSSSSSILLLLL

I think it already says everything! hehehehehe
Já diz tudo né!? Adorei esse cartazão!

Masculine & Feminine Dynamiiiiiiiiiiccc

OMG. This is a topic I LOVE. <3   I’m a very curious person,and of course this is a hot topic for many people.I came across very nice material from dating experts, and you may think it is bulshit, but give it a try and just read here!

I was TOTALLY not aware of many of my behaviours in my “dating experiences”.As I started reading,I got very nice insights, and one of them for example was a shock for me: don’t misunderstand me,but I realized I had been using lots of masculine energy!

First of all: We have both of them inside us, and we can draw from either depending on the situation. Feminine attracts masculine… and of course masculine attracts feminine.

Lots of guys (I mean straight guys) confuse being kind to a woman with being in the feminine energy. They think that by acting in the feminine energy, then they are being DIFFERENT than those rude guys who treat woman bad. There is a difference here (I will explain it!). And there are women, (I mean straight women) , SPECIALLY nowadays that  women are also in the workforce as much as men, which confuse being an independent woman with being in the masculine energy.

In my mind for example, lots of the “girly” attitudes would sound like I would be subservient or submissive. But… that’s completely false.Feminine and Masculine are equally powerful. (There are lots movies about powerful woman which use their female traits to the fullest ,and that’s where their power comes from.HEY: I’m NOT talking about MANipulation).

So! Masculine is: Cognitive,up in your head,logical,good at making plans,efficiency, competitive,wanting to win,wanting to build, and they like pursuing…

Feminine is: Intuition, Creative Capacity, Colaboration, Team-Building, Connection,Communication, softness, warmth from your heart, nurturing,loves her body (connected to her body),and more emotional talk.

Insight: The most powerful leaders in the planet have their feminine energies well developed. It doesn’t matter I men or women: it is important for communication.

And this is what when I first learned made me look at men with different eyes (I love it): One of the biggest and deepest subconscious desires men have in their CORE is to DELIVER HAPPINESS to their woman.They want to provide pleasure!! (ownnnn!!!) They want to make sure that they can please us, and that we trust them.(OoooHHHH!! THIS IS SO CUTE!)!

So there is this Masculine – Feminine Dynamic.It is beautiful…

I absolutely love this idea here: “He can come home,and be healed FROM his long day being in his head,being all intellectual… and just be healed by your love of life and the pleasure that you get from your own body. Men want warmth.”  - Laureen Sheehan.

There is a very important DETAIL here. Woman must love their life. They must have their independency, their hobbies, their friends, the things they love doing for pampering themselves(maybe a massage, or dance lessons,or even watching a Disney movie which was part of their childhood).They must understand their feelings and be able to communicate it from a place of love and politeness. They can not be the whole day just waiting for their men.

This has NO CONNECTION with playing hard to get.NO!Some women believe that if they PRETEND they have “better things to do rather than caring about a men” then they will hav them. This is a MISTAKE because this comes from a place of FEAR and possibly bitterness. What I am talking about is that women must have a HEALTHY lifestyle,which she must recognize that she needs to have,no matter if she is single or married of dating.She needs to love herself.When she truly does it, that’s WHEN she is BRIGHT and SOFT and VERY FEMININE. She will of course attract a healthy men too.A men who respects her as much as SHE does.Or if she attracts who is not boyfriend material ready, then she will be able to recognize them wisely.

Also, when a woman is truly living  her femininity to the fullest, she can draw the masculine gifts out of her partner, and then they can really build a healthy relationship.

Both men and women like a confident partner.Women like to feel like they are “protected”, and this is not just about physical force.When a MAN truly loves who is is, is TRULLY confident and comfortable with himself (not pretending, because it leaks),then a woman can sense it.

The same for men. They can “feel” when a woman is truly in love with her life….

A good example of Masculine-Feminine Dynamic that I saw in an interview is Salsa Dancing: The first step is always the woman steps back and create space for the man as he steps forward. The men iniciate every move and turn, BUT ALL EYES ARE ON HER.She is the celebrant. HE uses his MASCULINE energy to put all the attention on HER. (This is SOOOO BEAUTIFUL! Aiaiaiaiaiaiii!) ….

So… these are some new ideas to entertain about the relationship world. There are much more of course,and nice examples in practical life. I hope it can make sense someone there too, as it does for me! !!!

U.e.P.a.

O que determina o grau de ofensa de uma palavra é o filtro da pessoa que a recebe. Nós, como criadores da nossa realidade, temos a liberdade de interpretação.A nível inconsciente,filtramos mensagens para que elas se encaixem, como peças de quebra-cabeça, de acordo com nossas crenças. Se alguém nos elogia mas a  nossa crença interna é, há anos, a falta de auto estima, vamos provavelmente desacreditar do elogio e interpretá-lo mais ou menos assim: “ele está sendo educado” (Que maluco isso...estamos nos dizendo que a pessoa é desonesta!). Ouvir de fato,é ouvir o outro sem filtrar a informação.É desafiar o impulso de fazer as palavras se encaixarem na nossa crença interna. Ouvir de fato é arriscar perder algumas de nossas crenças e  expandir o próprio universo.

What determine how offensive a Word is, is the lenses which the person uses to read it. We are the creators of our reality so we are free to choose how to interpret it. We tend to filter the message according to our belief system,in a way that they fit like puzzle pieces! This is of course,at a subconscious level. If someone makes us compliments but for years our inner beliefs is telling us ahm… very bad words about ourselves, we will probably never TRULLY believe that compliment,and believe those words were just an act of “politeness”,or  “he just want to be kind,or lift me up”.We will NOT truly believe (how crazy is that…we are actually telling ourselves that the person who we’re talking to is not being HONEST).To truly is to ignore the selective ears which filter the information.It’s to resist the urge to make someone’s words suit in our beliefs.To really listen, is to be willing to maybe lose some of our beliefs and expand our inner universe.

Let it flow! Deixa Fluir!

Criatividade acontece num lugar do corpo onde há amor. O amor próprio  permite a liberdade total de expressão. A repressão é a força contrária à criatividade e coincidentemente, é a força contrária ao amor próprio. Nesse lugar onde há amor incondicional, há o EU livre e puro. A criatividade nasce da livre expressão do amor puro e fluente, mas ela só pode externalizada e participar do mundo quando as barreiras da repressão são derretidas pelo poder do amor próprio.


Creativity happens in a certain place of our bodies where there is love. Self love is what allows our genuine expression to flow. Repression is the force which is in opposition to creativity and coincidentally also in opposition to self love. In this place where there is unconditional love resides the most genuine self.  Creativity comes from the expression of fluent and pure love, but it can only be externalized and be part of the outter world when the prison walls of restraint are dismantled by the power of unconditional self acceptance.

FOCO! FOCUS! FOCO! FOCUS! FOCA! opsSsSs ! FOOOCO!

"When you go to google and put NO FOOTBALL. What do you think it's gonna come up?"
LOOOTSSS OF everything related to FOOTBALL!
The same mechanism happens to us. When we focus in what we DON'T want,we are inviting ourselves to have it,therefore,it's all we see in front of our eyes. Our brain connects  there, so it's easy for it to FIND it, no matter if your in an amazing palace or in a little village where people don't have enough water: you will still see according to your filter.
So, directing our FOCUS is a brain exercise that will provide us with more desired outcome!
Using our energies to what we WANT is VERY DIFFERENT than using our energy to what we DON'T want...


"Quando você vai no google e digita NADA DE FUTEBOL...O que você acha que vai aparecer?"
Claro! TUDO de futebol!
O mesmo mecanismo acontece conosco. Quando focamos naquilo que não queremos,estamos nos convidando a TEr aquilo e por isso acaba sendo tudo o que vemos diante dos nossos olhos. Nosso cérebro  se conecta naquilo, então fica fácil "encontrar" aquilo. Não importa se você estiver num super palácio ou num vilarejo onde as pessoas não tem água pra beber: Você vai ver de acordo com seu filtro.
Então: Direcionar o nosso FOCO é um exercício mental que vai nos providenciar melhores resultados!
Usar as nossas energias para o que QUEREMOS é MUIIIIITO diferente de usar a nossa energia para o que NÃO queremos!

Inspired in Brazil... ! (Versão em português: Dá uma descidinha pra ler!)

When people DON'T want to change, there is NOTHING that will move them away from that state they are in... There must be consciousness and will.

Brazilians are now in the streets, claiming for their rights to have a better life. I've been to 2 protests which were beatiful to see. There ARE mature ideas, mature people who trully want the transformation to happen.

But unfortunatly, there is a group of people who are willing to continue to manifest their polution. They don't want ANY improvement and are trying their best to poison the good intention of the others. What kind of peace are looking for? Are they actually looking for BETTER quality of life? I wouldn't say so, as they are strongly having fun with their  violence. How can you WANT peace if you don't believe it? Where is the FOCUS?

These kind of people are using this huge movement to demonstrate their inner anger.They misunderstood it completly.The intention is to have better results, and It must come from  PEACE. These people are doing the opposite by fuelling hatred, fear and chaos.It's a pitty that the focus is now in the violence and not in the goals. What we cultivate in our most private thoughts and beliefs is indeed what we will demonstrate in flesh. We must make of our bodies our temple. A place where there is intentional  beauty,there is transformation and where we are willing to entertain endless possibilities.There must be this belief and inner movement. This is the only way to act with INTELLIGENCE when given this beautiful chance of expressing  ideas in the streets... But these people who only wire their brain to disgrace,violence and not valorizing  LIFE, will only be able to perform this way. That's what they mentally rehearse every day, right?We must be willing to go beyond what we cultivate.Think outside the box. The TRANSFORMATION come from within.



Quando as pessoas não estão dispostas a mudar, NADA tira elas daquela inércia.Mesmo que estejam nadando numa grande piscina de merda!
A  intenção dos protestos é de dar um salto positivo rumo a qualidade de vida.
Ainda assim existe uma minoria que não quer aproveitar essa linda chance de serem ouvidos, e PREFEREM continuar manifestando a sua PRÓPRIA poluição!
Os maus intencionados não entenderam o espírito da coisa. Eles estão usando um movimento bonito para manifestar sua cólera. Eu acabei de sair do Center3 sentido Augusta e a rua estava parada devido a um carro que levou vários tiros.
Ontem foram lojas saqueadas, gente machucada...
E NA BOA! Eu VI intem quando um grupo de 30 caras foram de GRAÇA irritar e provocar a polícia. O foco está na violencia ou na paz? Que tipo de paz essas pessoas querem? Aliás: eles REALMENE querem paz? Realmente querem mudança, se estão FIRMES E FORTES na violencia? Onde está o FOCO?
O que cultivamos dentro dos nossos pensamentos e as nossas crenças mais fortes é com certeza o que seremos capazes de materializar no mundo.

Nós precisamos acima de tudo, fazer do nosso corpo o nosso templo.Precisa ser um lugar onde cultivamos a beleza,a transformação e sempre entretemos ir longe com as possibilidades.Essa crença e esse movimento interno devem existir porque essa é a única forma de agir com INTELIGÊNCIA quando por exemplo, nos é dado essa chance linda de expressar nossos desejos nas ruas.Mas essas pessoas que cutivam nas suas mentes apenas a violência e a desgraça,com certeza estão limitadas a só saberem manifestar isso, porque é isso o que eles "ensaiam" mentalmente todos os dias, certo? Nos precisamos ir além do que cultivamos.Pensar por fora da caixa. A TRANSFORMAçÃO vem de dentro de nós!

desMENTErando o vício! (...blablabla about Addiction!)

There is this illusion that an addiction in will make the clock run faster.Although people want it because waiting is too difficult nowadays, they also complain that… they never have enough time!

I’m not only talking about the “most known” addictions,but I’m ALSO including those little addictive behaviours which we use just because we are not capable of being calm and quiet in the moment (specially if we need to WAIT).

We replace the tic-tac of the clock so that we fool ourselves into believing that time is running faster.But you know…we are actually wasting creative energy,and therefore: time too. Because we are incapable of simply BEING quiet in this empty space, we are then fuelling anxiety with certain habits such as chewing lots of chewing gums, biting our nails, chatting in despair,calling a thousand people, eating like crazy, getting angry “out of the blue”…

This attempt to “skip” some tic-tacs is very funny and tricky…Despite the huge difficulty in “doing nothing”,“enjoying” this empty space is actually the best way to bring us back to balance. When you resist the urge to fuel your anxiety by just sitting down and letting all that anxious energy flow,you are nourishing your body. The anxious energy will be transformed if you just let it “make its work” in your body.In other words: if you allow yourself to simply FEEL it.If you just don’t think. Your job is to sit quietly with your energy. Notice how it FEELS in your body.It can feel uncomfortable in the beggining! (Like a tightness in your chest or maybe your breath will be a bit too fast...)Don’t try to “send it away” or to distract with something else. BE with it.After some time, the so feared empty space turns out to be a very nice place to be.It’s like you feel more “whole”.If it sounds too crazy,well… just TRY it.

But please, don’t misunderstand me : It is OK to “DO” in our TIME!But of course,when you CONSCIOUSLY choose what to put there! When based in the disability of waiting, or in anxiety, than it is for sure not a very smart choise.(Some people swear that they are being kind to themselves because they are   studying looots  or working looots when they are actually OVER doing it.Hum...is it kindness? tricky..). If we resist wasting our energy with those habitual behaviours,there will be more left in our bodies to create new things.It’s from this “empty room” which is actually a very clean, pure room, that creativity comes.It’s from a place of peace and never from the fog of anxiety. That big ball of energy  from our addictions is a beautiful tool to be transformed into pure creative energy when we allow it to simply flow in our bodies, without  mismanaging it by fueling it with anxiety.

Existe essa ilusão de que enfiar um vício no meio da necessidade de esperar vai acelerar o tempo.O mais engraçado é que apesar de querermos acelerar “certos tempos”, também reclamamos de nunca ter tempo suficiente!

 Eu não estou falando somente dos vícios mais notáveis,mas eambém estou incluindo comportamentos “sapequinhas”que parecem inocentes,mas que são viciantes! Quando enfiamos coisas no meio do tempo natural, estamos gastando energia criativa(e consequentemente perdemos tempo também!)

Por falta de capacidade de ficar no vazio, alimentamos a ansiedade fazendo coisas tipo mascar um monte de chicletes, telefonar pra 500 pessoas, mandar trocentas mensagens no celular, comer feito loucos,roer unhas,falar feito tagarelas,estourando com as pessoas. Eu não estou recriminando essas atividades. Eu só estou dizendo que há uma dificuldade muito grande de ter calma pra esperar no vazio.Ficar quieto simplesmente respirando é a melhor forma de trazer o equilíbrio. Ao invéz disso, as pessoas não suportam esperar e saem preenchendo esses pequenos espacinhos com coisas inúteis. Há essa falsa ilusão de que o tempo vai passar mais rápido se com a “ajuda” de um vicio. Resistir ao impulso  e ficar no vazio é a maior fonte renovadora. Resistir gastar energia com aquele comportamento de querer “pular” o tempo de espera faz aquela energia FICAR inteira no corpo. E ninguém chega no seu objetivo sem o trabalho do meio...

Apesar da grande dificuldade de “fazer nada”, CURTIR esse espaço vazio é na verdade o segredo para nos trazer de volta para o equilíbrio.Eu realmente acredito nessa calmaria como fonte de energia: e não na comilança de unhas ou no cigarro.

Quando você resiste ao impulso de alimentar a sua ansiedade e simplesmente senta-se e deixa a energia fluir, você está nutrindo seu corpo.A energia da ansiedade cai ser transformada se você deixá-la fazer o seu trabalho. Em outras palavras: permita-se SENTIR o que acontece no corpo, sem pensar. Fique quietinho sentindo sem pensar em nada.Muita gente descreve a sensação como aperto no peito, ou talvez alteração na respiração, então pode ser um pouco desconfortável a princípio.Porém,depois de um tempinho, o tão assustador “ficar no vazio” se revela como um lugar muito gostoso de estar.Uma vez que a energia flui no corpo, você se sente INTEIRO.Parece loucura? Então dÊ uma tentadinha!

Mas por favor não me compreenda mal! É OK FAZER coisas no nosso tempo sim,porém quando escolhemos CONSCIENTEMENTE o que enfiar no nosso tempo!Quando baseado na falta de habilidade de esperar no vazio,então provavelmente não vai resultar numa escolha muito consciente.(tem gente que se entope de estudo ou trabalho jurando que tá sendo bonzinho consigo mesmo...excessos bonzinhos? Hum... perigoso!)

Então, resistir aos impulsos e ficar no vazio é uma fonte renovadora de energia.Quando resistimos gastar energia com extras,vai restar fonte criativa no corpo.É desse espaço vazio, desse espaço limpo e puro que brota a nossa criatividade.Vem de um lugar de PAZ e jamais do embaçado da ansiedade.A bola de energia dos nossos vícios é uma linda ferramenta a ser transformada em pura energia criativa, quando a deixamos descer no corpo sem usá-la mal de forma a alimentar a ansiedade.

A mensagem do cartaz! (The message in this board!)

Olá de hoje!
Bom, como estamos todos interagidos nos protestos que estão rolando, aqui vai um post em homenagem a esse CARTAZ que me chamou muita atenção ontem na avenida. De fato falou com meu coração completamente! Desde muito novinha eu ja "sentia" isso aí que  ele diz no cartaz. Então quando eu o VI, saí correndo pra pedir que tirasse uma foto!!
Sem ofensas a quem gosta da Rede Globo. Mas essa é de coração a minha opinião e em conexão ao meu querido Blog, cabe na categoria PINOCCHIO!  ;)



Helloooo!!
Well, as the protests are now a hot topic in Brazil, I want to share this picture I took yesterday as I was walking in the avenue. The reason is that the message ih this guy's board cautght my attention completly! That symbol (like a globe) represents Rede Globo:  the most watched TV channel in Brazil. It is very very popular...and powerful.They can really manipulate people's ideas,and you see its influences in daily life easily. The board says: "Smile! you are being manipulated." .
Well...I agree that there is a sweet illusion being sold... I call it a "quick fix" tv channel.
Again: This is MY opinion!
So in connection to the idea of my blog,I think it  totally suits in the cattegory of  being a PINOCCHIO!  ;)

What I've Learned From Dr.Joe Dispenza! =)

So here is a conclusion of one of the material I spoke about! I studied what this amazing man has to teach us (Dr Joe Dispenza). This is really powerful and I love it! This post is a bit long, I know! But it will be worth it! I promise!

We think…because we think we behave in a certain way…which will become who we ARE as we rehearse it so well…

 The principle of neuroscience says that nerve cells that fire together , wire together. So neural networks are gangs of neurons that fire and wire together as you repeatedly demonstrate the same thought,action or behavior.The more you repeat,the more of it you will get. So this means that like any skill you probably already learned – like playing the piano for example -  the more you practice, the more it is strongly wired, and at a certain point, it becomes easy for you to do. It becomes a habit. As you learn something,you make new synaptic connections.)

How do we change? We must know that we have a hundred billion neurons,so this allow us to make the brain fire in different sequences, patterns and combinations.When we make it work differently,we are CHANGING OUR MIND.

It starts with understanding something intellectually. The second step is you planning how to apply it in your life! Then, of course, for making it an action, you must modify some of your behaviours. As a result, you will FEEL different and have a NEW experience.

So, let’s suppose you memorized (very well) how to demonstrate the emotion of STRESS.What happens when we repeatedly put our bodies into stressful conditions?

è Stress is when your body is knocked out homeostasis and knocked out of balance.We feel stress while in a certain external situation or we can even reproduce it by thought alone!Our body can’t tell the difference between the actual experience in reality, and the emotion that you fabricated by thinking.

The body then BELIEVES it’s in that experience (for those who experience(d) PANIC ATTACKs,this is why the attacks happen). Your body prepare you for that event.You get ready to fight or run away.

When we TURN ON THE STRESS RESPONSE, and we can not turn it off: NOW WE ARE HEADED FOR DESEASE.

Going back to the HOW-TO, here I summarized the steps:

the 1^st step for changing is through METACOGNITION!!! Metacognition is when we can be aware of our unconscious behaviours.WE CAN OBSERVE WHO WE ARE BEING! Only when you recognize the problem can you change it.NOW WE CAN MODIFY OUR BEHAVIOURS to do a better job in life! (you can pay attention to how u’re reacting to the daily situations in your life. Notice how you are feeling.If your feeling bad,sad,anxious,overwhelmed, then you have a good material to work with).

2^nd step: The FRONTAL LOBE the seat of our AWARENESS. It acts like a volume control as  you think about who u no longer want to be.it lower the volumes in the circuits in your brain that are connected to the OLD SELF. Your job here is to feel the emotions u live by, without RESPONDING to it.For example: if you would normally feel angry when your collegue is arrogant,you will now stay with that emotion as a material for observation.Just allow yourself to FEEL that energy in your body.With practice, this goes away. Instead of responding to your collegue,you will just feel it until… it becomes distant and distant. It goes away naturally when you don’t show it that it is important.You’ll have decided not to participate on it.You will start not to believe what you believed to be true before.

Like this you begin to BIOLOGICALLY change.

And again: this is important if you no longer want your body to be driven by stress hormones… you know they are not synonym of health and happiness.

PLAN YOUR ACTIONS:  3^rd: plan your NEW actions in your mind!This is called mental-rehearsing.Use your creativity to entertain better ways to be in the same situation that caused you stress before. your brain NATURALLY begins to FIRE in new sequences, in new patterns, in new combinations.Whenever you make your brain work DIFFERENTLY,you’re changing your mind.As it begins to fire in new ways, you begin to install the neurological hardware ahead of the actual experience (because in this step you are contemplating the new you only in your mind!), but now you have circuits in place to USE in those situations.

HERE IS TRICKY: You must PERSIST until your brain LITERALLY changes. Because there will come thoughts related to the old you, which will try very strongly to bring you back to being a record of your past. You have to raise beyond it all.It will feel VERY UNCOMFORTABLE and you will DOUBT it in the beginning… Persist that the past doesn’t belong to the new you.If you slip:get back on track without beating yourself up(IT  MUST COME FROM A  PLACE OF PEACE INSIDE).PERSIST,then sooner or latter,that new thought will be the strongest voice in your head.At this moment, the brain has to seal that new circuit more permanently.There is a GLUE called neuro growth factor that seals the circuits.There is ONLY a certain amount of that neuro growth factor,so it starts to STEAL the glue from the neighbouring circuits… when that happens:there goes the OLD memories.They can no longer be there,when the NEW signal is installed.

This is the science of changing your mind.

NOW that you are DOING what you understood… you are TEACHING NEW HABITS to your BODY. You are reconditioning the body to a new mind. Knowledge is for the brain and experience is for the body. The limbic brain now makes a new batch of peptides that signals the body in new ways, and your GENETIC EXPRESSION is also changed now.You’re changing the fabric of you.You’re instructing the body chemically to understand what your mind has intellectually understood.

But it’s not enough to do it only once. You have to repeat it loooots of times!You have to do it so many times that you no longer have to think about it. It must becomes NATURAL and easy. you’ve practiced it so many times that you know how without efforts. It’s automatic and second nature. When you get to this level of making it INNATE, it becomes a new you. Who you ARE. At this point,that NOTHING can REMOVE you from it, now you’re in a state of being. This is a conclusion for you to understand how possible it is for us to change! It takes work to remove the layers that we’ve worn! As you learned now, they’ve became SO rooted within ourselves, that it’s hard to see them! We do them so automatically that we are not aware of them!

To make it easier for you to find your hidden “Pinocchios”,I’ll show you my personal examples in the next post, so that you can have some insights about yours!

So: We learn lots of things since a very young age! We learn how we see the world and how we see ourselves.This becomes rooted in our subconscious mind so strongly that it is just what sounds true for us.Well,when we truly believe something… Ye:WE LIVE by that law which guides us in our every move!Do you need an example?

Lets take the terrorists who commit suicide while killing people.Supposing you don’t agree with their “job”,and that sounds really an absurd in your mind.For them,inside their  BELIEF system means that they are in a missionThey truly believe it.Of course I mentioned an extreme case so that you can see how powerful our beliefs are(and where they can drive our behaviours).

Well, talking about our inner Pinochios (the belief system which is a LIAR in reality),there is a quick way inidentifying it very easily:Our purpose is to feel JOY & Inner peace.This is a NATURAL state.Deep inside our hearts,we all want that.Whatever thought makes you feel in opposition of it,is likely to be a Pinnochio.If it knocks you out of balance,if it annoys you, if it brings you down…this means it must be transformed.Why? Because by believing it,you are giving room to stress which we know is an ALTERED state of being.Not a healthy one.

I repeat:when we REALIZE how BAD our belief system has been,and we truly want to change it, it might sound HARD in the beginning and even impossible.It was like this for me.But if you push yourself,it WILL CHANGE.You start noticing the changes because you begin to experience things differently.

So, to make it easier to see it happening in practical life, here are some examples which can make you realize yours.

-          “I can not make mistakes or i will not be accepted. (it leads people to isolatation)

-          “People would only accept me if I were thin. (lead to eating disorders,for example)

-          “I believe I will only be happy WHEN I will have accomplished some (material thing).”

-           “I´m too shy. I’m ashamed of being myself. People will think I’m weird/stupid/inferior”

-“Food is entertainment and a way of filling in my inner void and not as nourishment.”

-          “I feel like I’m guilty in any situation. If someone is in a bad mood, that’s my fault somehow!”

-          “I blame myself when a relationship doesn’t work.”

-          “I feel rejected.”

-          “I am lazy, and that’s just who I am.”

Well… Life is too exhausting like this.Can you imagine how much available energy you would have  when you are NOT with those burden in your body?

Lots of the examples I gave were based on my personal story.I had eating disorder since the age of 12,and panic attacks for over 6 years.I can assure this to you:This was all due to my inner ex-beliefs.They were colouring my experiences.Each and EVERY experience.

I thought I needed to be a success and super thin or I’d never be LOVED and ACCEPTED.Because of these beliefs I only wanted to be isolated and developed bulimia..which lead me to panic attacks.Then of course the guilt of being bulimic brought me a new belief: I deserved to die ! I lived with it in my head for over 6 years,everyday.Nobody understood why I woud never accept invitations out…I ended up having my blood tested around 15 times in ONE year.I went to the cardiologist around 5 times within an year. I felt so unloveable that I settled for a boyfriend who took advantage of my emotional frailty.I felt totally unloveable and unworthy.I didn’t know who I truly was.

These are few examples of what the inner Pinicchio is about.Can you perceive what I mean by our belief systems?We build a way to believe things,and those beliefs can be totally destructive.And as you could see: The lies I was telling myself were SO BIG that my Pinocchio’s nose was pushing the real world away from me.My nose was long,so it was hard to be close to anything: the giant nose would always require too much space!

But I now believe that this strong foundation I’ve been learning is a path which will always reveal good things for me. I trust it, specially because I have results in my life already.Big steps, far away from where I was.

This material about neuroscience is what resonates with my heart,speaks to it and give me powerful tools to create a MUCH better future. It gave me the trust to change myself,because I totally didn’t know I could. I will be forever grateful for the work of Dr.Joe Dispenza.I’m being able to love myself more every single day because of it.I’m more in love with my life,and it increases by the day.I understood how to CREATE a future in a way my heart desires.I’m still learning and I LOVEthis jorney.Everyday I have new insights.It feels amazing.So I want to share this experience of transformation with people,so this is why I felt like writing a blog!I want to use my own experience in a simple funny way which everyone can use as tools to their own life!!

Authenticity...

Being authentic is about taking time to connect with important ideas, make our own version of it, & gently apply it in a way that is transforming to anyone.   


  

O Automático VS O Autêntico

É importante expressar as nossas ideias.  responder no piloto automático é quando reforçamos o passado de uma forma que nos prende a ele.Nos sentimos escravos da nossa própria idéia  e numa conversa com alguém , quase que não escutamos a pessoa direito.Quase que grande parte da conversa é feita no automático e não na calmaria de prestar atenção e conectar : fazemos conexões ansiosas e rápidas e vomitamos a nossa ideia de forma descuidada e inconsciente.Não conseguimos fluir naturalmente.Ao contrário disso: somos medrosos para fluir porque é "esquisito" demais dentro do meu mundinho fechado no passado.
Ser autentico é quando você tomou tempo para digerir uma ideia que você cuidadosamente escolheu,e criou a sua própria versão. É quando você sente que é único pelo simples resultado de pensar. É quando você sabe que é unico mas sabe exatamente onde,como humanos, somos iguais. É quando você perdeu o medo de ser "o diferente", porque você tem certeza de que é assim que você quer ser.É quando você tem essa certeza porque esse ser dierente não vem de uma rebeldia, mas sim de um amor muito grande ... pela sua própria essência.
Tanto o automático quanto o autêntico dão suas opiniões pessoais. Porém o autêntico domina a arte de se CONECTAR com quem conversa. Ele sabe ter calma e cuidado para ouvir, e sabe como responder de acordo com idéias com as quais cuidadosamente se presenteou, sabendo colocar sua visão de um jeito bem sutil,  de forma que transforme pelo menos alguma coisinha  la dentro de qualquer pessoa que cruze seu caminho. O autêntico é consciente do seu subconsciente!

O Pinocchio Que Nos Habita / The Pinocchio That Lives Within Us!

Mentirosinho... mas habilidoso! O nosso querido personagem Pinocchio é bastante qualificado na arte de mentir, certo? E é por isso que eu achei ele o personagem IDEAL para ilustrar essa ideia do Pinocchio que vive dentro de nós.
O nosso Pinocchio também  é altamente qualificado na arte de mentir!E além disso, ele adora MOSTRAR pra nós o quanto ele manda bem na sua tarefa o dia todinho. Ele adora marcar presença, e está sempre ali repetindo sua super performance. Ele manda mensagenzinhas mentirosas pra nós e nos faz agir feito robôs em respeito a elas.
Porém,o que é intrigante é que esse Pinocchio interno é treinado pelo seu mestre.E o mestre... somos nós.
O Pinocchio interno representa as nossas crenças. As nossas crenças ditam todo e qualquer movimento que fazemos o tempo todo! Se você tem a crença de que a festa vai ser chata, você não vai querer ir na festa. Se você acredita que tomar café lhe dá taquicardia, você vai evitar café..ou se sexo antes do casamento é pecado, você vai querer agir de acordo. Quando temos uma crença,fazer o oposto dela nos "soa mal",e assim,nós "nos sentimos nós mesmos" quando conseguimos ressoar com essa crença.Sair dela parece perigoso...
MESMO QUANDO as crenças que  cultivamos NÃO estão nos trazendo felicidade...Mesmo quando de alguma forma essa crença não está mais batendo com a nossa realidade,ou seja,essa crença deve ir pra categoria MENTIROSA...Mesmo quando o nariz do Pinocchio ocupa tanto espaço que nos separa do mundo,essa crença ainda é forte porque... é uma CRENÇA!Nós treinamos ela muito bem treinado.Está enraizada como verdade absoluta no nosso subconsciente.Nós nos transformamos nessa crença  porque fazemos a coreografia demandada pelas mensagens que ele nos manda... E cortar o nariz do Pinocchio é uma cirurgia delicada! Mas é o caminho mais bonito que existe... é o caminho da transparência...Esse caminho nos permite ir em direções que pensávamos não ser capazes.É um caminho que nos permite remover as camadas que vestimos para encarnar uma realidade que não coincide com os nossos corações...para que possamos liberar nosso corpo para o que ele merece REALMENTE viver...

A liar! but highly skilled! Our dear character Pinocchio is highly qualified in the art of lying. This is why I believe that he is the IDEAL character to illustrate the idea of us having an inner Pinocchio.

Our inner Pinocchios are also very skilled in lying.And furthermore, he loves showing us how good he is at his performances! It loves being noticed and is always ready to show how effectively it can do its work.It sends little untrue messages throughout the day which leads us to behave like robots as we are not aware that we are respecting it...

However, what's more intriguing is that this inner Pinocchio is trained by its master.And... WE are the masters.

The inner Pinocchio rpresents our belief systems. Our beliefs are what dictate each and every movement that we do and actions we take ALL the time.

If you have the belief that the party is going to be boring,then you will not go there. If you believe that coffee can make your heartbeats malfunction, then you will avoid it.Or if sex before marriage for you is a sin,then you will behave accordingly.
When we have a belief, doing the opposite of it simply "doesn't feel right", and therefore we can only feel "like we are ourselves" if we behave inside our belief system.Entertaining different ideas might be dangerous...
EVEN when the beliefs we cultivate are NOT providing us happiness, and even when SOMEHOW those beliefs are not resonating with our reality anymore,or in other words, those beliefs should go directly to the "list of big lies",EVEN when Pinocchio's nose demands so much space that is separate us from the world, this belief is STILL strong...because it's a BELIEF.We rehearsed is SO well that it's now rooted in our subconscious mind.It is now who we ARE because we now dance the coreografy according to the subconscious mind's hidden messages. And now cutting off Pinocchio's big nose is a delicate surgery!But it's the most beautiful path that there is. It's a path of freedom and  transparency.It allows us to go where we never thought we could. It's a path that allows us to remove the layers we've worn to embody a reality which does not resonate with our heart's desire. This way we have the freedom of liberting our body to a reality which we trully deserve to live...

Fotos da Passeata de hoje na Avenida Paulista - São Paulo.
Os brasileiros literalmente se uniram em busca de serem ouvidos.Hoje, o protesto na Paulista teve uma cara totalmente diferente. O ambiente era de PAZ. Esse é o espirito de mudança. Ela vem do amor. Foi lindo ! A quarta foto na minha opinião é a que MAIS ilustra o brasileiro: em pleno protesto, DANÇANDO! A energia circulante hoje na avenida foi sem dúvidas contagiante! Os sorrisos saltavam livremente dos rostos e os corpos dançavam e cantavam versos criados na hora, como forma de manifestação.Nada mais lindo para manifestar a vontade do coração!

Pictures from the protest that happened tonight at Paulista Avenue in São Paulo.
The brazilians literally joined forces in order to be listened. Tonoght, the protest at the avenue had a completly different feeling. The environment was peaceful. THIS is the spirit of change and transformation. It comes from a place of love.It was beautiful! In my opinion.the 4th picture is the one that best illustrates the brazilian people: in the middle of the  protest, and still DANCING! The energy that was flowing tonight was indeed contagious. Smiles popped up freely as people were dancing and singing improvised verses as a way of manifesting. This is indeed a very beautiful way of manifesting the heart's desire.

DesMENTErando?? Que isso?! (What the hell does it mean??)

Como a ideia do meu blog é DESmentir as mentirinhas que ficam escondidas na nossa MENTE... daí a idéia! (E o complemento -ando não faz sentido a não ser soar português!)


*English speakers: The name of the blog was created by me, in an attempt to bring in the idea of  bringing to light the lies we live by,and finally see them as false! (UFA!  it's all comprised in this word!) The word does not exist in portuguese but it's a mix of desmentir (means to tell the opposite of a lie) + mente (means MIND) + ando (it has no meaning! i used it to sound portuguese! ).

Começando! Let's get started!

The intention here is to share (of course!) some of my experiences in this journey i'm in now!

It all started last year when I lived in Holland !Spending time with myself  brought me closer to myself, and I realized that some things that I used to believe to be true were not... really helping me!
I was stuck in a path of self-destruction and I didn't understand why, but my heart was always talking to me and trying to point me directions. It took time for me to really understand it... after one year of reading books and materials, talking to different people, I can now say I understand... I'm not PERFECTLY there yet, but i can  say i'm happy with every little change i am experiencing now.Actutally I'd better say that those changes may look small, but they come from a big transformation inside.It is crazy And it happens so increadibly fast that I had friends telling me I changed in a WEEK. And i feel it too. THIS is where i am now: a total transformation. It is happening. I was different a month ago. A week ago. It is crazy, but true. I'm getting new insights every single day, so this is why I need to express and share. In a near future, when I feel   like i'm ready, i want to help people doing the same inner shifts i'm now doing.

As I went deeper and deeper in my realizations,I realized that we have sort of an inner "pinocchio" living hidden inside us. We are the one who cultivates it, and as we feed this pinocchio, we start seeing the world in altered ways, far away and distorted from the real messages. We live according to the lies we learned about ourselves and the world. We end up  behaving accordingly. And the tricky part of it is that it "feels" more comfortable to be like this once we make this pinocchios live so rooted in ourselves.
I think about Pinocchio because  I got the funny image of Pinocchio with that big nose pushing the world away from him with his own nose. It makes so much sense for me! It's like we are pushing the REAL world away from ourselves because of the lies we live by.
The lies I believed about myself and the world are unfolding so rapidly now. It feels really good!I know there will be a moment which i will be more stable. But right now it's like... BOOM! everyday. One by one, i'm removing those layers which had been telling me bad stories and blinding me from my own heart.

It's now happening! And I'm happy and very proud to share!!!


PORTUGUESE VERSIONNNNNN:

A intenção aqui é compartilhar a minha experiÊncia nessa jornada que estou agora!
Tudo começou no ano passado na Holanda. Ficar um tempo comigo mesma me fez perceber o quanto várias coisas que eu vinha acreditando sobre mim  e sobre o mundo não estavam DEFINITIVAMENTE me ajudando...  em NADA!
Eu estava presa num cainho de auto-destruição e eu não conseguia entender o porque. Mas meu coração estava lá, sempre tentando conversar comigo e querendo me apontar direções. Eu levei tempo pra entender isso. Depois de um ano lendo livros e materiais (FODAAAS), e conversando com várias pessoas diferentes, eu consigo agora entender! Eu não estou 100% perfeitamente "lá",mas eu passei dos 60% com certeza, e estou feliz com cada pequena nova experiencia que eu tenho vivido agora. Na verdade é mais "correto" dizer que essas pequenas mudanças PARECEM pequenas, mas elas vêm de uma GRANDE transformação interna.
É muito maluco e acontece tão incrivelmente rápido que eu tive amigos me dizendo que eu mudei em uma semana. E eu SINTO isso. Esse é o lugar onde estou hoje: o de transformação . Está acontecendo. Eu era diferente um mês atrás. Uma semana atrás. É maluco mas verdadeiro. Eu venho tendo novos insights todo santo dia, e por isso eu precisava compartilhar aqui. Num futuro bem próximo, assim que eu estiver pronta, eu quero ajudar pessoas a fazerem essa mudança interna que eu esto fazendo.

Quanto mais eu me aprofundo nos meus insights, eu notei que tem uma espécie de Pinocchio que mora escondido dentro da gente. Somos nós quem cultivamos ele, e quando alimentamos esse "coisinho", começamos a ver o mundo e as pessoas de forma DISTORCIDAS e distantes do que é real. Passamos a viver de acordo com as MENTIRAS que aprendemos sobre NÓS mesmos e sobre o mundo.E... acabamos nos COMPORTANDO de acordo com essa base. E a parte PERVERSA disso é que viver dessa forma passa a ser mais confortável.
Eu penso no Pinocchio porque me vem a imagem dele afastando o mundo com seu próprio narigão! Quanto mais mentiras ali representadas pelo nariz, mais aquele nariz mantem ele longe da realidade. É bem isso mesmo!
As mentiras que eu acreditava sobre mim e sobre o mundo estão se desdobrando rapidinho agora.É muito gostoso isso! Eu sei que vai chegar um momento em que eu vou ficar mais estável.
Mas por agora é tipo: BOOM! Todos os dias uma chuva de revelações! E uma por uma, eu vou removendo as camadas que vinham me cegando para viver o meu próprio coração.
Está acontecendo! Eu tenho muito orgulho e felicidade de compartilhar!!!
