Miss Attica

http://missattica.blogspot.com

In search of tranquility. Trying to find the meaning of it all by paying close attention to what goes on in my own life. While practicing Yoga, Meditation and Photography. Writing, Reading, Drawing and Painting my path. Analyzing my reactions and making necessary changes. Blogging keeps me on my toes – because I write about the challenges I face and the reflections I make along the way.

The Sisyphus solution

Posted on Wednesday April 29th, 2009 at 07:51 in philosophy, awareness, ideals, the myth of sisyphus

In periods when work is dominated by routine tasks, or when problems of all sorts are lining up, zapping my energy; I sometimes find myself feeling sick and tired of my lot in life, thinking that if only I could just put down my burdens – then I’...

In the yoga nidra, a guided deep meditation by Swami Janakananda, the Self is described as a golden egg of consciousness that is different from the body, the thoughts and the feelings. I find this image to be a bit odd, perhaps because of the solidit...
Frozen Feelings

Working on self-improvement leads to the uncovering of some buried feelings, deeply hidden off in the subconscious, silently influencing our actions until the day we manage to unveil them and kick them off to oblivion. The sensation that goes along w...
