Learning from mental pain. Aprender del dolor mental.

Just as physical pain alerts us to troubles in our body, mental pain alerts us to where we need to be more conscious.  In other words, our frustrations, anger, delusions, and so on become our greatest helpers in freeing ourselves from suffering.  They point to where the “Ego” is trapped, and they remind us to begin to shift our identity to the “Soul” level.  They show us where we are resisting change and where we need to grow beyond past conditioning.

  ~ Ram Dass (from Still Here)

Así como el dolor físico nos alerta sobre problemas en nuestro cuerpo, el dolor mental nos advierte dónde debemos estar más conscientes. En otras palabras, nuestras frustraciones, ira, engaños, etc. se convierten en nuestros mayores ayudantes para liberarnos del sufrimiento. Señalan dónde está atrapado el "Ego" y nos recuerdan que debemos comenzar a cambiar nuestra identidad al nivel del "Alma". Nos muestran dónde nos resistimos al cambio y dónde debemos crecer más allá del condicionamiento pasado.

I thought the whole COVID-19 quarantine thing would be over in 2 or 3 months, and when I realized in late July that it was going to continue indefinitely, I went through about 6 weeks of pretty bad depression until I started realizing that I needed to pay attention to what I was feeling in a different way.  I made an effort to meditate more (which, by the way, is the answer to almost EVERYTHING) and to make my yoga sessions more meditative, and I learned that Ram Dass is right:  it is possible to let mental pain show us what is really going on underneath the surface, which in turn allows us to make shifts in thinking and perceptions.  This kind of awareness is 75% of the battle, because it’s now much easier to make decisions, take action if necessary, and stay in a more positive mindset.  🤯 For me personally, I learned that the depression was really about resistance to change and being even more out of control than usual.  I didn’t like how different my life had become.  I was struggling with and resisting things I couldn’t control, such as not being able to see people I love and not being able to go to very many places.  Through mindfulness and meditation, I was able to relax around the resistance and desire to be in control, and they lost their power over me.  I have been able to let go a little better and allow things I can’t change or control to be as they are.  I still have days of depression, of course, because this all really sucks for all of us, but I’m doing a better job of taking things one day at a time and looking for things to enjoy and appreciate each day.  💗 May all of us be able to find joy in the present moment.

Pensé que todo el asunto de la cuarentena de COVID-19 terminaría en 2 o 3 meses, y cuando me di cuenta a fines de julio de que iba a continuar indefinidamente, pasé por aproximadamente 6 semanas de depresión bastante fuerte hasta que comencé a darme cuenta de que necesitaba prestar atención a lo que estaba sintiendo de una manera diferente. Hice un esfuerzo por meditar más (que, por cierto, es la respuesta a casi TODO) y por hacer mis sesiones de yoga más meditativas, y aprendí que Ram Dass tiene razón: es posible dejar que el dolor mental nos muestre lo que realmente está sucediendo debajo de la superficie, lo que a su vez nos permite hacer cambios en el pensamiento y las percepciones. Este tipo de conciencia es el 75% de la batalla, porque ahora es mucho más fácil tomar decisiones, actuar si es necesario y mantener una mentalidad más positiva. 🤯 Para mí, personalmente, aprendí que la depresión se trataba en realidad de resistencia al cambio y de estar aún más fuera de control de lo habitual. No me gustó lo diferente que se había vuelto mi vida. Luchaba y resistía cosas que no podía controlar, como no poder ver a las personas que amo y no poder ir a muchos lugares. A través de la atención plena y la meditación, pude relajarme en torno a la resistencia y el deseo de tener el control, y estas cosas perdieron su poder sobre mí. He podido dejar ir un poco mejor y permitir que las cosas que no puedo cambiar o controlar sean como son. Todavía tengo días de depresión, por supuesto, porque todo esto realmente apesta para todos nosotros, pero estoy haciendo un mejor trabajo tomando las cosas un día a la vez y buscando cosas para disfrutar y apreciar cada día. 💗 Que todos podamos encontrar alegría en el momento presente.

After seeing all these damn couple postings on Tumblr, any lady looking for a quarantine Tumblr gf?

Never thought I’d be here again, but special times call for special measures. 😂🤣

Slm, después de ver todas las parejas felices en los posts en Tumblr, hay una muchachita por ahí que esté buscando a una novia de Tumblr para pasar la cuarentena?

Nunca pensé que estaría aquí de nuevo, pero no sé qué chucha está pasado. 😂🤣

cozy + forgiving potato + kale chowder

I made this “chowder” on a whim during the first few weeks of our quarantine. It’s really easy and forgiving and I got a few questions about recipe specifics so I thought I’d do a little writeup here. If you’d like to cook along I originally posted this on Instagram stories.

what I used

Onion, garlic, butter (substitute vegan butter), olive oil, salt + pepper, ap flour, chicken stock (substitute any kind of stock or broth, miso + water, etc.), red potatoes (sub whatever you have), fresh kale (sub frozen), frozen corn (sub fresh), unsweetened milk and/or cream of choice 

what I did

Dice your onion and sautee over medium heat in a tablespoon or so butter and a splash of olive oil until translucent. Add a few cloves of minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a bigger pinch of pepper and continue sauteeing until garlic is slightly browned.

Add about 1/4 cup AP flour and sautee for a few minutes until flour is cooked through. Add stock of choice; I used chicken bouillon and boiling water. I honestly didn’t measure, I just filled my dutch oven about halfway. Bring back to a simmer if using cold stock.

Chop a bunch of red potatoes or whatever you have and add them to your pot. I like a pretty big dice, but cut them however you want to eat them. Add more stock or water if needed to just cover the potatoes. Let them simmer until fork tender. I added a big bunch of kale about 8-10 minutes in; I wanted it to soften but not too much. 

When the potatoes are fork tender, take a potato masher and mash about half the chowder right in the pot and stir it back together. You could also remove half, blend it in a blender or food processor, and return it to the pot for a creamier chowder, or blend all of it if you want a cream of potato type soup. 

Add corn (I used a scoop of frozen corn) and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Let the corn warm up and add a splash of unsweetened milk and/or cream of choice, I think I used half and half and 2% cow because that’s what we had. I honestly just added enough to bring my chowder to the top of the dutch oven. Let everything meld for a minute and you’re good to go.

Top with any or all: green onions, chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley and cilantro), bacon/veggie bacon, splash of vinegar, lemon juice, seedy crackers, oyster crackers, bread.

Un Attimo di Cuarantena

Ibiza voleva che io rimanessi da sola. In solitudine, cosa ero davvero?

Mi guardai allo specchio per l’ultima volta. Ero qui. Ero là.

Ero in carne ed ossa, eppure no. Ero viva ed ero morta. Ero già stata qualsiasi cosa eppure non ero niente.

Qualsiasi cosa potessi fare o sentire, riecheggiava in infinite dimensioni, n numero livelli di essenza, frequenza e comprensione.

Ogni respiro erano organi, muscoli e sinapsi in azione, molecole ossigeno ed agenti inquinanti, virus batteri, materia sottile e प्राण (prana) cosmico che entravano nei miei polmoni, e meccanismi automatici di sopravvivenza, consapevoli e non, ripartivano il tutto fino alle periferie estreme del mio essere, tutto in una manciata di secondi, tutto dentro di me, in ogni cellula e poi fuori, e poi di nuovo.

Alitai sullo specchio del lavandino che divenne appannato e cancellandomi la faccia. Non c’ero più. Ma ora era tutto chiaro.

Mi sentivo sola, ma ero in costante scambio con tutto, che io lo volessi o no. In ogni attimo ero permeata dal tutto ed ogni attimo generava reazioni di cambiamento in me e le mie reazioni generavano cambiamento intorno.

L’immobilità era solo apparente, eravamo tutti in connessione ad un livello così microscopico e cosi vasto allo stesso tempo.

Tutti in vita. Tutti parte dello stesso respiro. Tutti legati indissolubilmente da un atto inconscio e fondamentale. Respirare.

Ho pensato a questo ed il mio cuore batteva più forte. Perché in quel battito sentivo il battito di tutti i cuori pulsanti di chi era vivo in quel momento su questo pianeta. Ho pensato al mio sangue scorrere ed ho immaginato il sangue di tutti scorrere contemporaneamente. Alla linfa delle piante. Alle lacrime di una ragazza che colano come resina dall’albero. Ai movimenti di un rapace che vola in cerchio su una preda come uno squalo. Alle direzioni del vento.  Al fruscio dei fili d’erba, alle mani fra i capelli.

Visualizzavo e sentivo il suono di ogni cosa. Generato da tutto ciò che era in movimento. Anche il più piccolo atomo.

E se tutti avessero taciuto nel medesimo momento avrei potuto ascoltare il pianto di un bambino dall’altra parte dell’equatore.

Ancora un po’ più in là sentivo i pianeti ruotare e scivolare sulle orbite, gli angoli dell’universo piegarsi ed il sibilo di altre galassie lontane.

Ibiza voleva che rimanessi da sola per ascoltare il suono della vita.

Que bonito es despertar, y veer a la persona que amas a tu lado, es como una bendición. Tocarlo en las noches... solo para saber qué es realidad ,y no un sueño.
