ΝΟΥΣ

ΝΟΥΣ
Σαν σκέψεις με κυριαρχούν,
συναισθήματα και θέλω με ρυθμό διαδεχτούν,
την γαλήνη πολεμούν,
φουρτούνα στη ψυχή μου προκαλούν.

Πέρ' από το νου ας βγώ,
εκεί μονάχα θα την βρώ.

Στην Λερναία του νού αν βασιστώ,
και την καρδιά αγνοώ,
θεριό ακολουθώ.

Την λογική πως πείθω,
τ' ακατανόητο στο νου αν δείξω,
πως το μυστήριο να εξηγήσω;

Mα πυρσό αγάπης κουβαλώ,
μέσα να φωτίσω και θα βρω,
νερό καθάριο γιά να πιώ,
ποτέ ξανά να μην διψώ.

Την σιγή ν' αποδεχτώ,
σχέση ομαλή με το εγώ να συντηρώ,
πέρ' από το νού γιά ν' αγαπώ.

Αποδέχομαι, δεν με ανησυχεί,
η αγάπη πέρα κατοικεί,
απ' όσα το μυαλό δημιουργεί,
έτσι, γιά να πρωταγωνιστεί.

Ξέρει πως θα χάσει,
σαν κατασταλάξει,
ρόλο δεν θα έχει να υπάρξει.

Το Μονόγραμμα του Οδυσσέα Ελύτη (απόσπασμα)

Σ’ αγαπάω μ’ ακούς;
Κλαίω, πως αλλιώς, αφού αγαπιούνται οι άνθρωποι
κλαίω για τα χρόνια που έρχονται χωρίς εμάς
και τραγουδάω για τα αλλά που πέρασαν, εάν είναι αλήθεια.
Για τα «πίστεψέ με» και τα

 «μη.»
Μια στον αέρα μια στη μουσική,
εάν αυτά είναι αλήθεια τραγουδάω
κλαίω για το σώμα πού άγγιξα και είδα τον κόσμο.
Έτσι μιλώ για ‘σένα και για ‘μένα..
Επειδή σ’ αγαπάω και στην αγάπη
ξέρω να μπαίνω σαν πανσέληνος
από παντού, για ‘σένα
μέσα στα σεντόνια, να μαδάω λουλούδια κι έχω τη δύναμη.
Αποκοιμισμένο, να φυσάω να σε πηγαίνω παντού,
σ’ έχουν ακούσει τα κύματα πως χαϊδεύεις,
πώς φιλάς, πώς λες ψιθυριστά το «τι» και το «ε.»
Πάντα εμείς το φως κι η σκιά.
Πάντα εσύ τ’ αστεράκι και πάντα εγώ το σκοτάδι,
πάντα εσύ το πέτρινο άγαλμα και πάντα εγώ η σκιά πού μεγαλώνει.
Το κλειστό παντζούρι εσύ, ο αέρας πού το ανοίγει εγώ.

ΣΥΝΕΙΔΗΣΗ

ΣΥΝΕΙΔΗΣΗ
Μάθε την αγάπη για την μοναχικότητα.
Μη βλάπτης κανένα. 
Πάντα ειλικρινής.
Μελέτα.
Ελεξε τις αισθήσεις.
Προσπάθα συνειδητα να υπερβείς τα πάθη.
Υπόμενε υπομονετικά τα αντίθετα της ζωής, όπως ευχαρίστηση και πόνο, επιτυχία και αποτυχία.

Έτσι θα εγερθεί αγάπη και μη πρόσδεση.
Όταν η αγάπη εδραιώνεται σταθερά στην καρδιά του, ο άνθρωπος γίνεται κύριος του εαυτού του. Ξαναγεννιέται. Όταν υποτάσσεται το εγώ, η συνείδηση λάμπει σε όλη της τη δόξα.
Παραμένει η μοναδική αγαλλόμενη συνείδηση.

MORALITY

SELF HEALING

THE WISDOM OF LIFE : True mental/physical health may not be sustained on its own. It is based on other life areas. Life purpose and work, relationships, fairness, ecology, inner search, etc. 

SELF HEALING
The main theme of AyurVeda is that each person can easily educate themselves to take control of their own health. Monitoring and adjusting one’s nutrition and lifestyle prevents illness, heals and promotes a long life.

Environmental health, as strange as it may sound to some, significantly influences personal health. Clean air and water, organic foods, houses and clothing from ecological materials, all contribute to health of the individual and the society. There is even a correlation between environmental toxicity and emotional health.

AyurVeda teaches that people are their own best healers. Intuition is better at sensing subtle health imbalances than relying on someone else.
All that is needed is some basic guidelines offered by the Ayurvedic practitioner.

The ability to take control of your health inspires self-worth and self-empowerment. This is further promoted when you see and experience the positive results from your efforts. Realizing that you have the ability to take control of your own health is itself a key factor in healing.

SELF DISCOVERY

THE WISDOM OF LIFE : True mental/physical health may not be sustained on its own. It is based on other life areas. Life purpose and work, relationships, fairness, ecology, inner search, etc. 
SELF DISCOVERY
People sound in body and mind, with purposeful work, who have fulfilling relationships of all kinds and keep their environment healthy, will add grace to their lives. They will then become eager to devote more time to self discovery and development, the final dimension of health.

The body becomes more relaxed, the mind more calm but also more alert; one becomes more personable in relationships. But the most profound change takes place inwardly; dignity grows and one begins to see it in others and all of life.

This is the definition of health, according to AyurVeda. Life is composed of many elements which are not independent parts. If one aspect of life becomes imbalanced, all the other aspects are affected. So when considering healing, AyurVeda looks to the root cause or underlying reasons of illness. The body may be sick because of stress or mental agitation. Rather than instruct a person to merely take a drug or herb to heal the physical condition, the practitioner of AyurVeda looks to restore balance within, looking at all five areas of life (mind, body, work, relationships, inner development).

ΣΗΜΑΣΙΑ

ΣΗΜΑΣΙΑ

Θέλει η αγάπη σημασία,

το πιό απαραίτητο απ΄όλα στη δημιουργία,

χωρίς αγάπη οτιδήποτε μαραίνει,

και με σημασία πάλι ζωντανέυει.

Μα τον εαυτό αν σεβαστώ,

με σημασία άμα τον υπηρετώ,

φροντίδα άλλη δεν θα χρειαστώ,

αγάπη άλλη δεν επιζητώ.

NATURE
Feeling connected to nature is the most p

owerful medicine; drugs or herbs are a last resort. If we do not care about nature and our environment, her illness will become ours. With the rise in pollution, how can we be surprised in childhood asthma? With carcinogens in our environment and the food chain how can we be surprised when people develop cancer?

Ζωή ΄σαι μοναχά στιγμές,
το χτές έχει χαθεί,
τ' αύριο ποιός ξέρει πως θα' ρθεί;

Τώρα μόνο έχω γιά να ζω,

τώρα αγαπώ και πάντα ζω.

Με ταξίδι τόσο μοιάζεις,
κι' άν προορισμό διαδρομή προστάζεις,
αγάπη είναι ο σκοπός,

Ο ποταμός ξεχείλισε
Ο,τι κι αν γράψω σήμερα
Ο,τι κι αν πω την ώρα ετούτη
Ο,τι κι αν κάμω όπου κι αν πάω

......
Μ' αυτά που γίνηκαν και γίνονται στον κόσμο
Και κάποτε να σηκωθώ και να φωνάξω
Κάτω οι Εθνικοσοσιαλισταί
Κάτω οι Φασισταί
Κάτω οι βδελυροί υποκριταί της Μόσχας
Πράγματι νυν υπέρ πάντων ο αγών
......
Ζητω αυτοί πού πολεμάν,
Που πολεμάν γι' αυτά που αγαπάμε
Ενάντια σε όσα μάς είναι μισητά.

Νυν υπέρ πάντων ο αγών
Η Ελευθερία δεν έγινε ποτέ
Με ψέμματα ούτε με σκέτες θεωρίες
Μα με τις πράξεις και οσάκις ήτο ανάγκη με το αίμα
Εμπρός λοιπόν και να χτυπάμε στην καρδιά
Σύντροφοι εμπρός
Φωνάζω αλληλούια.

THE WISDOM OF LIFE - FAIRNESS

FAIRNESS
Healthy relationships do not simply exist within our home’s doors! We belong to a society, which belongs to a country or nation, which belongs to the world. There is a global dimension to relationships. How can we be fully happy an

d content when people around us are suffering, or not being treated fairly or ethically or humanely? All life is interdependent. We need to be able to see the great interest in helping the less fortunate help themselves, through fair trade, work, fair living wages and careers.
Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. All things are connected, so whatever man does to the whole, he does to himself.
If part of the web is suffering, it will affect other parts as well. So be fair to all and have a good relationship with all.

THE WISDOM OF LIFE - RELATIONSHIPS II

THE WISDOM OF LIFE : True mental/physical health may not be sustained on its own. It is based on other life areas. Life purpose and work, relationships, fairness, ecology, inner search, etc. RELATIONSHIPS ...
Relationships have 

not just to do with romance. Another area of relationships and social life relates to children and the elderly and how we think of them. All of us need to feel that our lives have a purpose and feel fully satisfied. In older times, the elderly were respected for their life-experience and the younger generation approached them for wise counsel. Today anything old or slow is considered unwise and we place parents in nursing homes - having no time to care for them. People working in nursing homes report that one of the main issues with the elderly is depression, lack of social integration and life purpose. Depression and the use of drugs is also on the rise amongst the younger generation, for the same reasons.
If we can realize the need for the young and elderly to be fully integrated into society, everyone’s health, emotions and spirit will be enhanced.

THE WISDOM OF LIFE - RELAIONSHIPS I

THE WISDOM OF LIFE : True mental/physical health may not be sustained on its own. It is based on other life areas. Life purpose and work, relationships, fairness, ecology, inner search, etc. RELATIONSHIPS
Emotional and physical

 abuses exist in many people’s relationships. Co-dependency and enabling describe many relationship dis-eases. But nothing is everlasting or permanent. Directing our focus inwardly to discover our true self, instead of the outer everchanging life, is the only way to maintain healthy relationships. Only by continuing to develop our individual inner life we are able to share our growing fullness with our spouse, children, friends and others.
Too often we are attracted to one another because we see a quality we believe we do not have. In reality all of us have all the human qualities within. We contain everything! If we are able to see a quality in another, we must have it within ourselves in order to recognize it. When the main focus in our lives is self discovery, then troubles that seemed like mountains are seen as molehills.

ΠΟΙΟΣ ΝΑ ΞΕΡΕΙ;

1. Ποιός να ξέρει;

Σ' έχω τώρα πιά ξοδέψει,

μα ούτε έχω καν μαντέψει.

Μαζύ σου έχω ζυμωθεί,

φούσκωσα, σαν το ψωμί,

μα μ' άδειασες, σάν διάτρητο ασκί,

απόρριψη, κατάκτηση, έχω πιά αναλωθεί,

όμως τ' είσαι αν αφηγηθώ,

αγάπης οπτασίες θα διηγηθώ,

δεν γνωρίζω τι να πω.

Πως να σε ορίσω,

και να σε περιορίσω,

λες και σύνορα η πλάση θέλει,

ποιό νόημα θα έχει,

τ’ άπειρο να περιφράξω,

τ’ ασύλληπτο να πάω πως θ' αδράξω,

ότι πέρ' από το νού υπάρχει,

πως κανείς να περιγράψει;

Ποιός να ξέρει; 

Μα ποιός άραγε ρωτά;

Ο νούς δεν είναι που μιλά,

κι' η καρδιά που απαντά;

Από τα βάθη της καρδιάς δημιουργείς,

πέρ' από το νού αντλείς,

ερωτήσεις αγνοείς,

μα όποιες ναν’ οί απαντήσεις,

κενό σαν θα προκύψεις,

μ' επίγνωση θ' ανθίζεις,

διαίσθηση φωτίζεις.

THE WISDOM OF LIFE

THE WISDOM OF LIFE
.....
True mental/physical health may not be sustained on its own. It is based on other life areas. Life purpose and work, relationships, fairness, ecology, inner search, diet, exercise, etc.
WORK
We all need to work, to support ourselves and family and to afford a social life. Work, however, is not just what will provide the means. Making a living whilst doing something meaningful or purposeful is most important. Work ought to involve using our innate talents, doing something we love to do. It is this kind of devotion that cultures balance, contentment and health.
Cancer is an example of illness usually caused by lack of purpose.
Ayurveda considers cancer mostly as an emotionally caused disease. By not having a purpose in life (i.e. suppressing life) people create ‘life’ within their body (cancer). When seriously ill people discuss what they would love to do, life returns to their eyes. As they begin to change their lives, some remarkable recoveries are seen.

BE TRUE

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?

WHO YOU ARE!

THE WISDOM OF LIFE

THE WISDOM OF LIFE

Is there a goal to life or are we simply born to live and then die without some deeper meaning or purpose?
Albert Einstein said “God does not play dice with the universe”.
Order and reason exist in universe. There is a go

al in life. To realize our inner or true nature.
Yet we feel that we do not have a handle on life, let alone develop our inner nature.
Positive thinking and love are the connecting links to true life, to real living. The more we realize our true nature, the happier, more content, we are.
And the happier we are, the healthier we become.
A physician needs to awaken and inspire people. This connection allows them to feel they have the ability to develop their inner nature. Diet, herbs, exercise, etc. are secondary therapies.
Even if a physician has a complete knowledge but cannot reach the inner self or soul of the patient, they will not be effective.
Practitioners more concerned with fame and fortune and not their own self-realization, will not be effective healers.
There is a link between truly healthy people and the degree of their inner development or the extend to which they are self-realized. A troubled mind affects the health of the body.

True mental/physical health may not be sustained on its own. It is based on other life areas. Life purpose and work, relationships, fairness, ecology, inner search, diet, exercise, etc.
