We were also struck by the fact that the study -which being a pilot test- openly indicates how in a number of participants a sense of self-empowerment was generated, because they became more assertive, confident and open to take on risks and try new experiences. Moris Beracha Wanted to begin my writings on what we might call my cause or my commitment by talking about what in my opinion has become part of a lifestyle with mindfulness, but I do not want to refer to this form of meditation from Buddhism, but to indicate how it is being used in programs aimed at promoting poverty reduction. This is only the first article within this guidance that I want to give to these writings. In principle let’s start by commenting on some of the personal benefits of mindfulness and I would like to mention those of English psychologist Patrizia Collar in several of her books: greater capacity to calm down, higher levels of energy, less risk of stress, depression or anxiety, more self love...

Mindful meditation connects humans deeply to themselves, to each other, and to life Moris Beracha . Enough examples can show how mindfulness can cause individual and small group changes; but the question is: can you transform societies and build up populations completely committed to respect human rights? The answer is yes, according to PhD Maria Cheung, Professor at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. We found on the web an interesting article published in a journal by that university entitled: “The intersection between mindfulness and human rights: The case of Falun Gong and its implications for social work.”

The world today has a component that usually takes our lives without our realizing it, making us losing our sense of what we really have to do and enjoy. Moris Beracha.-   The world today has a component that usually takes our lives without our realizing it, making us losing our sense of what we really have to do and enjoy. While I was reading the book “The now effect” by Elisha Goldstein, I found a very simple but useful list that made me think about how much space and time of our lives we ​​lose because we are not in the mindfulness state we need to be able to overcome the day-to-day difficulties, whether physical, psychological or emotional. It only requires that we have a few minutes available to think and gradually internalize some very simple practices that would help us live much more fully. Goldstein recommends in the first place approaching the day-to-day things and facts with curiosity and tasting them, living them. It is useless to ignore the experiences that we f...

When Success is not faced with common sense, it can touch aspects of our ego affecting our perception of reality. By Moris Beracha In some conversations it is common to raise the subject on how to face success. At first this question surprises me because one might think that people's curiosity focuses more on how to deal with pain. Then I understood that success is a desire that all human beings have. You can think of it as the positive culmination of a task or wish come true; the problem begins when success affects our ego. It is very common to see us as humans how well we can cope with problems but it is also common to see how difficult it is for us to deal with success. As it has been said "Nothing corrupts a person more than power" When success is not faced with common sense, it can touch aspects of our ego affecting our perception of reality. Success ascends with power, which is the ability to do things that other people cannot do. ...

By Moris Beracha Stop for a moment, close your eyes and breathe. Feel the air coming in through your nose, into your lungs and back out. In that moment you took, you were in present time and you forgot everything within a fraction of a second. When I am asked how I do to be in the present moment I always answer that mediation is fundamental to achieve this. However, there are misconceptions about the real meaning of meditation. It is often thought that it is a very difficult activity to carry out or it is for spiritual people and it is not true. The first thing is to be present with your breathing. We are never present or outstanding when we breathe and this prevents us from being connected with ourselves. My recommendation is that when you decide to experience meditation, look for a quiet place and sit on the floor on a blanket or on a cushion called zafu. The important thing is that the back is straight. You can also do it sitting on a chair without laying the head on th...
