The 4 states of consciousness


• State of wakefulness.
It's the one we normally have every day. You know you're awake. Intellect is working, think and reason. It also has awareness of the physical environment.

• State of reverie.
It is intermediate between waking and sleep soundly. No rest. In his mental energy is expended. The intellect is not working, but there is some awareness of the physical world.

• Deep sleep.
The mind is relaxed, completely blank. There is no awareness of oneself as an individual entity. The identity of the ego disappears, as does the awareness of "I'm doing ..." and the physical environment.

• Meditation.
Just as in deep sleep, there is no awareness of the body or external physical reality, nor the time and space. But in meditation, consciousness is transcendental as teachers, the person achieves an identification with the Divine or Heavenly.

Write Drawing Japanese - Curative Powers

The Japanese, or "Zen" write, is a write-drawing type whose objective is the own knowledge. This calligraphy class in Japan has been used from remote times as connection method between the man and the cosmos. In this technique, you are fundamental when applying it, to have the completely blank, blank mind, open to all kinds of possibilities. For it, you will get ready the mind through the meditation, of the test and of our more intimate vivencias. Not it pursues neither the perfection neither the beauty, what count is only the act in itself, reflecting this way the nature in your plenum state.

In the Zen write, you don't exist the past, present or future; but on the contrary, alone they exist the "here and now." Not we can stop to remember that for this culture, the one on the way to the life consists exactly on being like we are. Then the letters flow of themselves, in the same way that our pansy makes it from our brain to produce them.

All told this, for the practice of this calligraphy, is necessary that the mind is blank, being her the one that include the everything of our being. This way, the balance is achieved starting from the unbalance, you are the harmony in your ullage. The connection that you are between brain and hands to the moment to write, provides the clean-up of the mind, putting the pansies in another plan, scrolling them of the center avoiding the concerns that we have and that they also lock us in ourselves.

When beginning with the practice of the Japanese write, you are necessary to keep in mind two aspects: the posture and the respiration. For you are it to put the left foot on the right side of the body, and the right foot on the left side. This posture is carried out sat down on a cushion in the floor, above a seat or armchair, and with the cross-linked feet behind or ahead. When adopting this position, you are to maintain right the spine without forcing it, maintaining the completely relaxed shoulders.

When drawing the ideograms of this language, ideas are representing. For that reason it is elementary to practice it (this you are more than anything a commission for the Westerners who require of more concentration to write in this write type).

When reproducing the idea that each ideogram represents, you distract us as much as writing in a language that we already know.

Other things to keep in mind are for example, searching a place of the house or place where you are planned to carry out the technique that are illuminated, to use paper of rice you tint Chinese of bar and a brush type brush. The Chinese ink is dissolved with water on a marble piece. The brush should take from the end with the thumb, index and general ledger. And lastly, you should not lean on the arm.
