Learn Your Soul Profile

Ahhh… 2009!
The New Year always brings us that fresh feeling. It gives us power and motivation to start something new. And with the experience of the past years that oneday were just as fresh as 2009, we became what we are.

The New Year opens great possibilities for statements like “This year I will do…” or "2009 is the year when I will become…"
It’s a great feeling!

We just want to suggest to all of us one more phrase to be added to the couple above: Who are we actually?

Reading the article from the "Alliance for a New Humanity" we found a series of questions to help us answer that.

Write down your response to each of the following, using three words. This will be your soul profile, a list of 21 qualities that are present in your life and can be actualized today. If you act on the basis of these qualities, you are living from the level of your soul.

1. What is your purpose for being here?

2. What will be your contribution to the world?

3. What do you see as your unique talents?

4. What are the best qualities you display in your closest relationships?

5. Who are your heroes in myth and legend?

6. Which qualities do you most admire in others?

7. At the peak moments of your life, how did you feel?

Looking to 2009

2008 was the year when we brought together things that should be faraway from each other, we created and turned into pieces, lights on and then absolut darkness.

We are on the edge. It is time for an U-turn on our behavior. Living a fragile state of peace is not enough. We are destructive devices, lethal to this world, and it seems that it doesn't hurt us, it seems we are living under an alias. But the inevitable nightfall will come and will bring 2009 to us. Please let us transform this inapt world in the breakthrough of mankind.
And that our shocking deathbed confession be: we fought to make a better world.

Next year, let you decide to be better.

The Christmas Meditation

It’s amazing how things repeat themselves over and over again. You can change the subject, but never the feeling. The sensation is always the same.
The Christmas Meditation is the title of this post because I found it really interesting to compare this moment of the year with a single second of self-learning.

Why?

Christmas is the moment when you look to others with compassion, you finally see the person across the street more like your brother… someone like you. People gather themselves to help others in need, the whole family gets together just to be together. It seems that the whole world got better for a moment!

Meditation is an exercise you can train your mind to be more peaceful and alert. You can see things more clear and your so-called ego, is not that important anymore. Meditation let you more human to understand humanity. To understand yourself.

For those who never saw a person meditate, they are the ones whom are sitting at the beach, eyes closed, looking peaceful. They are exercising meditation.

But to meditate, like written above it’s a training. An exercise to transpose the peace and alert state of mind to our daily routine, fighting traffic, paying bills etc. (Between us, we don’t need inner peace and attention sitting at a beautiful and calm beach.)

What all this meditation thing has to do with Christmas?

I don’t know either… but would not be great if the person across the street was your brother all the days of the year?

Compassion

MindFlow music always was made to touch a soul. But more often than that, we have our soul touched, and as a result music is created.

Those songs represents the very soul touched by life. And speaks for itself.

This blog was created to help in a small way to make our souls to be touched in good way and more important, to make a stand, to make us believe that we are all walking on the direction of understanding and goodwill.

Last week, Brazil was stroked by a merciless storm that is still going on, leaving thousands of people without home, food, water, protection and hope.

We lost on this disasters mothers and sons, fathers and daughters. Human beings.

There are two kinds of people who survived this tragedy: those who desperately need help and us, the ones who should provide help.

On a dark time like this very one, let rise from our soul the only thing that makes us who we are: Compassion.

Gather your friends and family and help in the way you can, sending food, clothes or just a good thought. They sure need your support.
