traveler, the other day listening to the rosary shared by the death of my grandmother.
I never attended the parish and religious topics, as on many others, I have a particular vision closer to agnosticism, but basically free, and respecting the choices of others within the limits of non-infringement of individual personality. But this is not what I wanted to talk.
Reflection born from participation in the ritual of the rosary (I think it was the first time) and the considerations in shared family soon after.
Those litanies pronounced by a voice deep and low, the repetition of the same formula, the 50 epithets for Mary and 50 define "pray for us" ... is a ritual. Heard her put in connection with their thoughts about themselves and just like the mantra shared by other rites.
The Ohm is just a different form of the word "Amen" in a different language.
And the effect of the litany is the same, in the movement of words and sonar low, guttural, in the repetitions you proceed with the regularity of breathing with a rhythm that you need to give "stability, peace and security.
am sure that if asked to do yoga, saying "Pray for us" instead of "ohm" a good portion of people would look at me shocked and left me alone, little indignation at the request "democratic and open." That 's what I meant with my being liberal.
I will not go into the merits of Catholicism and the church, I will not even touch that subject is so complex that it deserves a blog just for himself.
I like to note, however, given the commonality of the word and the will of man to find peace and harmony. We remembered
home in the periods in which women, in the evening, came together to make wire and each wire was preceded by saying the rosary together as they started working together ... the shirt was not this a way to enter that state of relaxation, and internalization of the thoughts that he would helped in lewd chat later?
And now, yoga sessions are held at sunset in front of the sun is (always with the same orange color of a fire in the fireplace) and performing gestures together and decide greetings Sanskrit and Indian have the same bass , the same sounds ... and then dissolve the positions and chat a bit '. Take the suggestions of psychologists
emotional life of the coaches, they tell you to repeat a dozen times in a low voice phrases like "all is well and will always go from good to better," "I find security in myself" "I I love "... try, sit or lie down and begin to speak with deadlines and low monotone voice these sentences ...
there comes to mind is a fire in the fireplace and lots of women talking in the background with the sound of knitting needles?
forms and principles behind all are certainly different, but the people are simple and in many there is no conscious malice but striving to satisfy a need for internalization and thought.
Sometimes you have a moment off from all the conspiracy that often arise in these cases and look with confidence to the gestures and understand that perhaps they are just ways of satisfying a need.
leaving you now conclude my "mantra" ... without thinking about me I was created by myself at times when the university found it difficult, those moments when everything seemed great ...
here's to you
"even the more distant star is still close"
