A Quote

"Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love."
-Leo Buscaglia

Mouse in the house!

Quietly creeping, accomplishing his purpose without attention,

The wise little mouse trusts the Creator.

Help me, small one, to true and find initiative

So that wonderful changes come my way.
Mouse medicine is both a great power
and a great weakness.

It is good to pay attention to all details,
but bad to over-analyze every little thing.

Mouse people can be fixated on methodology and appear to be nit-pickers.
They will make the simplest task fraught with difficulty.
Everything must be in order in a Mouse's house.
Often, Mouse people are fearful of life.

You should try to see the larger picture

Even if you live in a small house in Los Angeles,
you are also part of the Earth, galaxy and universe.

If a Mouse totem has recently entered your life,
ask yourself if you have neglected the trivial but necessary things in life.
Have you become too focused on one or two activities
and neglecting opportunities around you?

Or are you trying to do too many things at the same time?

Mouse medicine can show how to focus
and how to attain the big things by working on the little things.

Target the #1 top priority, to get everything underneath
In other words, aim for the top and the rest will follow!

Just Breathe - Pearl Jam

Je croyais

«Je suis une amoureuse de la réalité. Lorsque je me dispute avec elle, je perds – mais seulement à tous les coups.» – Byron Katie

Je croyais que j’allais à la plage pour y rédiger un article, samedi, mais une fois arrivée sur place, j’ai dû me rendre à l’évidence: je n’y étais pas pour écrire, mais pour regarder le plus mignon des chiots courir allégrement dans les vagues.

Je croyais que j’avais besoin de soleil, dimanche, mais il semble finalement que j’avais besoin de pluie. C’est lorsqu’il a commencé à pleuvoir que je l’ai appris. J’étais censée souper avec un ami, mardi soir… Lorsqu’il a appelé pour se décommander, j’ai tout de suite su que j’étais plutôt censée relaxer chez moi et profiter de la nouvelle machine d'exercice qu’on vient de me livrer.

Je croyais qu’il fallait que je me prépare un jus de légumes frais hier. Mais ça a l’air qu’il fallait pas, finalement… Vous savez comment je l’ai découvert? En réalisant que je n’en avais pas fait, tout simplement.

Êtes-vous coincé dans un étau de «je devrais», de «j’aurais dû», de «il faudrait» et de «pourquoi j’ai pas pu»? On pourrait discuter longuement de leur légitimité, faire la liste des raisons pour lesquelles on aurait effectivement dû faire les choses autrement (ou justifier longuement pourquoi les choses auraient dû se passer différemment)… Mais un fait demeure, au-delà de toutes ces considérations: lorsqu’on fait la guerre à la réalité, on perd. On perd chaque fois – «seulement 100 % du temps», comme le dit avec humour Byron Katie. Même si on a les meilleurs des arguments.

«Accepter les choses comme elles sont»: cela semble un peu triste, comme une défaite. Au contraire, c’est le plus grand triomphe! Suivre le courant ouvre un espace à l’intérieur de nous dans lequel une joie pure et simple peut émerger. On s’allège, on voyage léger… On est beaucoup mieux outillé pour aller de l'avant et transformer ce qui peut être changé. On navigue finalement d’un moment à l’autre dans la paix et l’harmonie, en toute humilité… Et, surtout, en toute liberté. http://www.matinmagique.com/ Marie-Pier Charron

Enneagram Type 5: The Observer

Enneagram Type 5:
Observer, Investigator, Thinker, Sage or Voyeur

Overview
You want to be intelligent, informed, knowledgeable and perceptive. More importantly, you want to be self-sufficient and not have the entanglements of obligation. You see yourself as intellectual, dispassionate and investigative. You would like others to see you as rational, logical and scholarly. Your idealized image is that you are thoughtful and wise.

Private and solitary by nature, you like to be invisible until you are ready to reveal yourself. You tend to stay on the sidelines preferring to meet the world with your mind. You prefer to play the role of detached observer or investigator. In general, you see the world as intrusive, overwhelming and chaotic–often demanding too much and giving too little in return. As a result, to manage the fear of not knowing, you conserve your energy and focus your attention on acquiring the information necessary to make sense out of the chaos.

Studious and scholarly, you develop expertise in any area that is of interest to you, often in more than one field. You believe that knowledge is power and feel it is imperative that you be as a means of survival. Often scientific, you have unparalleled powers of mental perception due in part to your ability to remain detached and unaffected by your emotions.You have an inquisitive and observant nature with an insatiable appetite for information. You think things through before offering your perceptive insights regarding systems, people or how the world works.

Avoiding the glaring light of scrutiny, you seek the safety of camouflage. When you feel that you lack intellect, you become withdrawn, isolated and reclusive. You see yourself as intense, unexpected, original and different from others. You are private and introspective, although others may think of you as anti-social, secretive, remote, and eccentric. You are not afraid to point out the ‘emperor who has no clothes’ and your wonderful sense of humor is based on postulating the absurd. Rather than the wave crashing on the shore, you have the strength of the undertow and know exactly when to give or withhold your involvement and information to have the greatest impact.

Need
Fearing intrusion, you need to keep yourself hidden and camouflaged. However intellectual you may be, you often feel vulnerable and exposed like an animal without fur. You need time alone to recharge and for others to not place high demands on your time or energy. It is essential for your well being that your mind is clear, your life uncluttered, and that you have the autonomy to control your time.

Avoid
You avoid standing out and/or being misinterpreted. You also avoid pretentious or ostentatious displays. You may find small talk or a brainstorming session at work to be an insufferable waste of time. You fear annihilation, contamination, and being fully embodied – as you feel more comfortable being with your thoughts than in your body. Because you prefer to live a life that isn’t weighed down by attachments – either material or relational – you also avoid surplus of any kind. The one exception might be a library of resources.

Virtue
Your greatest strengths are your clear objectivity, your instinct and your penetrating insight that is unfettered by emotions. You have an innate ability to gather information and create systems to assess and categorize data in a clear and concise manner. Mentally astute, you are able to observe, study and track even the smallest details, often developing expertise in many areas. Underneath your shyness and reserve, you are a kindhearted and giving person. You are also very loyal to and supportive of those you trust.

Vice
Your vice is avarice. This can manifest as a greedy hording of yourself, your time, your energy or your things. Be careful of your tendency to observe the world through a peephole. It can keep you isolated and out of touch with human concerns. Be aware of your tendency to withdraw into your ivory tower of ideas. Others may start to see you as arrogant and unfeeling. Being dispassionate and ‘cool as a cucumber’ is good in an emergency but hard on relationships.

Attention
Your attention goes to observing the world, hiding or withholding to protect yourself and gathering information for the purpose of knowing and understanding. Hesitant and reluctant to engage, you search for factual data, seeking reason, logic and objectivity.

Mantra
Your map of the world is a mental construct, not the actual territory. For deeper knowing, remember to include your feelings as they yield important information in any equatio. As a rule, you believe that there is always more that can be learned, known and understood. It is helpful to recognize when you know enough to make a decision.

Spiritual Journey

Your spiritual path is to reclaim a sense of non-attachment and experience true omniscience– true knowing from a higher source. Spiritual growth will come when you offer freely of yourself to others without fear of incurring obligation and realize that mere information can never be a substitute for true direct knowing.

Wing

If you are the Enneagram Type 5 with the 4 Wing, you desire to appear imaginative. You see yourself as aloof, understated, penetrating, intuitive, inquisitive and quiet.

If you are the Enneagram Type 5 with the 6 Wing, you desire to appear intellectual. You see yourself as changeable, receptive, careful, whimsical and trustworthy.

L'inertie

L'inertie d'un corps est sa propriété de conserver une vitesse constante (ou de rester immobile) lorsqu'aucune force externe ne s'y applique, ou que les forces qui s'y appliquent s'équilibrent. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertie
