Live Your Other Half Life

This blog post was inspired from a Facebook friend from Montreal Canada      when she told me that she rides her bicycle all winter regardless of weather.  Ginette  told  me  that cold is a state of mind  you have to overcome when its cold for six months of a year.    If you are afraid its cold outside you won’t do nothing for half your life. With one of Ginette’s favorite pictures (above).

I began to understand her outlook on the obstacles of living life.

“Ma plus grande découverte a été de prendre conscience que, dans ma vie, la plupart des barrières, c’est moi qui les avais érigées.”  English Translation: ” My greatest discovery was to realize that, in my life, most of the barriers, I had erected them.”    ~ Cheryl Jarvis!!!

 In Ginette’s Own Words:
 I have a black belt in karate but the lessons I learned from martial Arts can be applied        it to our daily living. In our daily living  ” don’t worry about the results of your actions,    just give your attention to the action itself. The result will come from itself. ”

(Extract from the book the Power of the Present Moment
by Spiritual Master Eckhart Tolle.)
My reflection this morning about the desire to be more authentic and how it is connected to my practice of martial arts. I still hear my sensei (Professor) who told me constantly: ‘ ‘ presence of the spirit Ginette ‘ ‘. and it was only years later that I understood him.
.
In Martial Arts we do not fight the other but our own fears. This is our greatest fight. It is our fears that lie in our actions, especially when we dare to leave our comfort zone. We cannot live in the illusion of who we are and at the same time go to our authentic self. This desire to go to a greater authenticity requires a serious look in the mirror and face to face.
 
To accept and welcome who we are, and not just our qualities, is a gesture of courage.
.
The first step towards greater authenticity is to accept our ‘ ‘ and our ‘ ‘ ‘. If we want             to change  the first step is to accept and welcome them in with Compassion and non-judgment.
.
This is the first step towards our authentic self. The presence of the spirit allows us to         be simpler and more spontaneous in the movements of our body which is guided by the intuition of our heart. Come on, don’t believe me. Face your fears and tell me how it changes your behavior and ultimately your life.
 
No matter what path you follow in 2018 I wish you to do it consciously and get out of your comfort zone to become your authentic self. Let’s drop our masks and dare to be. Learn to penetrate life consciously in martial art the secret is to learn to lead the spirit. It forms the basis of all our bodily movements. Action Just..
.
I’d like to talk to you about letting go and how it’s connected to martial arts.
.
There are a lot of schools in the martial arts but they all share the ‘ ‘ ‘. Mi: body.
.

In the teaching of du “Taekwon-do,”  which I have practiced for over        15 years, it is important to practice the release. The law of every effort. Give up the ego and become a pond between heaven and earth. Abandon attachments, personal desires, ego. You learn to direct the ego objectively and not to act in fear. Even if you fall, you don’t have to be afraid or be anxious. We have to focus here and now.

.
Everything has to come from here and now. While we use our thoughts, actions become slow and hesitant. You see how martial arts will be practique in everyday life and not only in a dojo (Studio). It may help you understand why I seem to be acting fast sometimes. Years of practice lol..
 
In Martial Arts to harmonise heaven and earth it is essential to focus on the expiration. This causes energy to flow to the bottom of the body and spine, and this restores strength, anchoring and relaxation. You also realize that criminals are free and many innocent people are in a prison of their own barriers. But do you see now more than ever what you  prison really is? In todays world we see young people who are hypnotized in front of their video games, their screens, their films and their texts or their emails. Technology is a means of enslavement.
 

Living half.. (Khalil Gibran)

Do not frequent those who are half in love,
Don’t be a friend of those who are half friends..
Don’t read those half-inspired.
Don’t live half-life
Don’t die half again
Do not choose half a solution
Don’t stop in the middle of the truth
Don’t dream half
Don’t tie up half a hope
If you shut up, keep quiet until the end, and if you express yourself, you can express yourself to the end too.
Do not choose silence to speak, nor speak to be silent…
If you are satisfied, express your satisfaction and do not pretend to be half satisfied…
And if you refuse, fully express your refusal, because to refuse half is to accept..
Living half is living a life you haven’t lived…
Speaking half is not to say anything you want to express
Smile half, it’s ajourner your smile,
Loving half is not reaching your love
Being friends half is not knowing friendship
Living half is what makes you stranger to those closest to you, and makes them strangers to you….
Half the things are successful and not successful, working and not working, it’s being present and… absent
When you do things halfway, it’s you, when you’re not yourself, because you didn’t know who you were.
It’s not knowing who you are…
The one you love is not your other half… it’s yourself, at another place, at the same time.
Drinking half won’t soothe your thirst, eat half your hunger…
A halfway path won’t get you anywhere.
And an idea expressed half won’t give any results…
Living half is being incapacitated and you’re not capable…
‘ cause you’re not half a human being.
You’re a human being…
You were created to live full life, not to live half.

This planet is doing everything it can to make sure we become the best version of ourselves. The Universe really works in our favor, regardless          of the situation.

The universe aligns you to be in the right place right time to fulfill your mission in Life. My thought of the day:  in these moments of great change and transition it is increasingly important to remain well rooted  to earth    it is one of  the best ways to escape fear and doubt.

 Even if we live in cold climates .it has never been as important as we get closer to nature and engage in very concrete activities that can allow us to remain in the present moment.

 

We are also being more enslaved to a health system that doesn’t work.        The Health insurance card… ensures the disease. Why not have health insurance that ensures our health.  I invest time and money in my health.

A healthy mind in a healthy body. The Disease System we have is really far from that. Don’t wait until your sick to treat your health because you will be paying to treat illness. Is it too complicated to understand?
