Well, there are no two without three, so this is the end, my only friend, the end.. of todays b&w addiction ;)

Question by mlw11743: What kind of meditation retreat, and how long should it be, to de-stress from an extremely intense job?
I have meditated before but I need more depth over a sustained period of time.

I’m seeing a psychologist for stress and resulting depression, and he is very supportive of a meditation retreat. He recommends 3-5 days, not the 10 day vipasanna type right now.

This would also be best located in the New York-New England area.

Thanks.

A man goes to a shop, picks up a beautiful cup and says “my god this cup is so beautiful” and suddenly the cup starts talking to the man. The cup starts saying “O man, I am beautiful right now, but what was the state of my being before the pot-maker made me a beautiful pot?

Before I was sheer mud and the pot-maker pulled me out of the mud from the mother earth and I felt why that pot-maker is so cruel, he has separated me from mother earth. I felt a tremendous pain. And the pot-maker said, “Just wait.” Then he put me and churned me, when I was churned I felt so giddy, so painful, so stressful, I asked the pot-maker “Why are you so cruel?” the pot-maker said, “Just wait.” Then he put me into a oven and heated me up, I felt completely burnt. There was tremendous pain and I asked the pot-maker “Why are you so cruel?” and the pot-maker said, “Just wait.”

Then he poured hot paint on me and I felt the fume and the pain, I again asked the pot-maker “Why are you so cruel?” and the pot-maker said, “Just wait.” Then again he put me into an oven and heated it to make me more strong, I felt life is so painful hence pleaded the pot-maker and the pot-maker said, “Just wait.” And after that the pot-maker took me to the mirror and said, “Now look at yourself”. And surprisingly I found myself so beautiful.

When god gives us lot of trouble, it appears god is very cruel but we need patience and we have to wait. When bad things happen to good people, they become better and not bitter.

So all difficulties are part of a cosmic design to make us really beautiful. We need patience, we need understanding, we need the commitment to go through in a very calm and wise way. So all difficulties are not to tumble us but to humble us.

With this understanding, let us not be against difficulty. Understand difficulty is a part of a purifying process. A purifying process at present which we cannot understand and hence we need faith and we need trust.

Let us understand how to handle stress with this background. You can be affected by stress from two angles. There is an internal stress and there is an external stress. Nobody can avoid stress; one has to only manage stress. Managing stress can be internal and also external.

The internal stress is; your thoughts can create stress, your values can create stress, and your beliefs can create stress, meaning thereby your stress is coming from your mind more from the outer world. Many people suffer not from heart attack – they suffer from thought-attack.

For example, when somebody says you are an idiot, we get so hurt, we get so victimised. My boss has called me an idiot and I am feeling tremendous pain. Now where does this stress come from? If my boss has called me an idiot, I have to ask myself “am I an idiot”?

If I am an idiot nothing to be upset about; and if I am not an idiot, then also nothing to be upset about! It is the perception of the boss. But why do we suffer from that stress? I suffer not because my boss has called me an idiot but because of the thought-attack.

I may say the boss has called me an idiot; therefore I am suffering? It is true that the words are unpleasant. But what hurts is the interpretation of the unpleasant word. The thought in me interprets. That is pain and therefore it becomes pain. Much of our stress is our mind interpreting it as pain. So we suffer from thought-attack more than heart attack.

How To Build Muscles Fast-Short Intense Workouts Are The Secret To Building Muscles Fast

The craze is ever so much to be like one of our super-heroes. Young people always fantasize to become like their role models. Emphasis is on to stand different from the crowd. This is a common feeling. At one point or another, we all try to play larger than life characters. The first thing required to apply for this post is big muscles and great physique. All humans are not gifted. But medical science says that if you have got great desire to become something and more, ways are there to attain that level of fitness.

Different people have ample reasons to build their muscles fast. Few key practices are attached to it. Need is to know how and your mission would become easier. Remember the most important ingredient of this recipe is proper planning and training. It is more about time. Be consistent and keep on putting your efforts.

We’ll try to go through all the important points step by step. Exercise is the first point in this direction. Right types of exercises are of immense importance. Training professionals ask their candidates to focus on ‘muscle building ‘lifts such as bench press, military press or deadlifts etc.

BUILD MUSCLES FAST

If we carefully check and follow a strict diet regime, it is going to take a lot of pressure off your shoulders. You need to eat a lot and with more scientific approach. Eating habits should be different as compared to any other human and try to consume huge quantities of proteins and carbohydrates. Proper calculations are done to make it more effective. Please take care that rich protein should be a part of your diet.

The secret lies in the concept to do shorter workouts and make it intense. Long durations in the gym are not going to help anybody especially those who are looking to build muscles fast. When we do same kind of stuff everyday, our mind becomes habitual and stops taking interest. Same is the case with our muscles. Our focus should be to surprise them (muscles) every now and then. So include new and different types of exercises in your plan. Be clever than your muscles.

There are different ways on how to build muscles fast. Simple things remain more realistic and meaningful. Follow good diet pattern. It includes those food items that should be on top of your list. Another relevant question is about supplements. Is it right to take or not? The question has been an issue of argument in the past. Rather than listening to anybody, just do what you think is good for you or take an expert’s advice.

A wise word to remember is, please do not take steroids. It is an irreparable damage!

How to build muscles fast is a combination of good diet, proper exercise and staying focus on your work. Really, there are no shortcuts.

Question by Future Poet: How is this story????? i know it is really intense!!!!!!!?
The light pierced my eyes as I stared at the fire. The waves of heat were blazing upon me as I watched my house burn down to the floor. I felt trapped and isolated. I could not move with every muscle in my body paralyzed by the heat. My mom was screaming in pain and i was completley blank. Nothing made sense and nothing mattered. I heard an internal orchestra of violins in my head playing the music of my death. I was scared but too hurt to care anymore. My brother and father had already escaped, leaving my mother and I behind. There was nothing i could do.
I woke up two days later in the beige boring hospital room. My room smelled of starilizing products and ashes. I peered down at my body and relized I was now wearing a thin, white hospital gown. The sun peeked in through my curtains. The light scared me. It was too sharp for my eyes. I was tired but my body ached. I had a sudden heat flash and i squirmed. I did not understand why I was charred all over. I did not remember the fire. I just remembered my mothers piercing scream swirling in my head. I was overwhelmed. I felt as if i was out of breath and tired. So i shut my eyes and fell under a blanket of unconsionsness.
My eyes flittered open as a female’s voice filled the air with a happy greeting.
” Hello! I see you are up Sleeping Beauty!”
I could not control my mouth to open. I felt like i no longer was attached to my brain. Right then, what i was assuming, a doctor walked in with his shoes clapping against the floor.
” Try not to talk to her Darla, she is probably traumitized. Poor thing… We were not able to save her mother” the doctor said the second part in a hushed tone like he knew i was listening. Smart doctor.
“Where is my mother.” I said these words weakly. I was hanging to life by a thread and i wanted my mother to love and comfort.
” Hello darling. I am Dr. White. I will be taking care of you while you visit in the hospital. Does anything hurt?”
” Stop avoiding my question, where is my mother.” I said the words a little harshly this time. I did not care about myself. I just wanted to be sure my mother was okay and where my father and brother were.
” We will take care of that later. Does anything hurt? What is your name?”
The doctor was so selfish! Who cared what my name was? I was just 12! No one cared about me, including a doctor. However, i answered his question so he would answer mine.
” My legs and head hurt like someone is stabbing me with a blazing hot, fully heated, curling iron. My name is Quin MaGardi. I answered your stupid question! Now where is my mom?!”
” Okay nice to meet you Quin”, he shook my blackened hand, ” me and nurse Darla will be helping you get on the road of success. I am very sorry to say this but, we were not able to help your mother. I guess God really wanted her. It is okay. We will be taking care of you. Later, we will be doing an operation to amputate your legs and then we will put you in physical therapy. I know that is a lot to soak in but, that is the hard life. I am sorry.’
He excpected me to “soak” in that my mother was dead and i was going to have my legs taken away from me without a single say from me. I recognized something was going on but, I could not name it to save my life.
The doctor left after cleaning my leg with something that stinged. He seemed to like bringing me pain. Every time I flinched or made a whiff of air from pain, he would get a smirk on his face that was begging for me to smack it off. My operation was schedualed for tomorrow afternoon. I was so worried. I had a tight knot in my stomach that made my head ache again. My palms were sweaty and my hair was soaked. I went to sleep once again, hoping to never wake up…
Darla woke me in an annoying, cheerful voice. I was mad at her for being so happy when i was so nervous, in pain, and depressed. The world will obviously never be fair. When i relized that the sun wasn’t shining outside, i was so confused that my head hurt. Again. When my eyes opened, i saw Darla was wearing an all black outfit with a pitch black knit hat covering her long orange hair. My room was dark and i snuck a look at the clock. It was 3:00 in the morning. Then out of no where, an evil laugh filled the room to the rim. It was Dr. White.
” Your trapped once again, Quin. You are going to kill the rest of your family. Your parents are downstairs in the morgue. They will be burried alive soon. If you make one peep, you’re going down with them. I kept my mouth seeled tighter than if my lips were glued together. I had no clue what they were going to do with me and how they were going to kidnap me.
” You are most definetley NOT taking me anywhere and if you do, i will scream and call the police!” I spat those words out at him. I was honestly mind boggled. None of this made any sense. I felt like i was trapped under a blanket of black that was making me confused. After i said the fierce reply, he ripped my neck’s words right out of my mouth. H
sorry it cut off the rest. haha i guess i will leave you hangin. i am only 12 so please dont be mean. give me ideas on what to add and critisism :)
