adho mukha svanasana - 2009
in order to grow tall and sturdy, a plant needs strong roots nestled deep in the rich soil of earth. with the adho mukha svanasana we strengthen the muladhara chakra, which literally means root. our purpose here is to build a strong foundation that will support and strengthen a body that is healthy and strong, and stability in our livelihood.
(fair trade, 2009)
everybody wants to be treated fair and yes that should be a human right. first you have to start with yourself. In finding out who you really are you can honor your awarness, the light in you. you fell lucky if you tread others as well as you want to be treated.
not all trade is fair! farmers and workers at the beginning of the chain don’t always get a fair share of the benefits of trade. fairtrade enables consumers to put this right.
fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade and is based on a partnership between producers and consumers. fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade. this allows them the opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. fairtrade offers consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their
every day shopping.

"The core of Krishnamurti's teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said: 'Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual.
Freedom is not a reaction; freedom is not a choice. It is man's pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom is pure observation without direction, without fear of punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive; freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but lies in the first step of his existence. In observation one begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity. Thought is time. Thought is born of experience and knowledge which are inseparable from time and the past. Time is the psychological enemy of man. Our action is based on knowledge and therefore time, so man is always a slave to the past. Thought is ever-limited and so we live in constant conflict and struggle. There is no psychological evolution.
When man becomes aware of the movement of his own thoughts he will see the division between the thinker and thought, the observer and the observed, the experiencer and the experience. He will discover that this division is an illusion. Then only is there pure observation which is insight without any shadow of the past or of time. This timeless insight brings about a deep radical mutation in the mind.
Total negation is the essence of the positive. When there is negation of all those things that thought has brought about psychologically, only then is there love, which is compassion and intelligence."

keep up the balance. concentrate on your body and soul, this is what you really are. the more you limit the focus of yourself the less you can loose yourself. with exercises you can improve this power in your center, it will strengthen your self-confidence, your courage, your concentration and your will power.
I believe that at every level of society - familial, tribal, national and international - the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities. (http://dalailama.com)
When you are balanced and when you listen and attend to the needs of your body, mind, and spirit, your natural beauty comes out (christy turlington).
if we want to solve the economic problems we need a worldwide improvment of healthy living and working condition. with the gloablisation big companies achieved big profits with the exploitation of natural resources and workpeople. to reform labor conditions worldwide proletarians should associate all around the globe demanding more rights. the world and the population will win if the minimum standard of worker protection improves.
