Reflection on CompassionWritten by Kamyar Saturday, 10 January 2009 11:01 I was just listening to Zencast, episode 189 about compassion by Jack Cornfield. In the middle of the session, he invites the audience to reflect on moments in their lives when they have been touched by someone through a compassionate act. So I pausesed the audio and decided to find 3 names that instantly come to my mind from my childhood. Beleive me, it took less than 10 seconds, and I was shocked by the results. Three people that I might have not thought about for years. Then I decided to write down the three little stories. Here they go: Read More

Yaghub Mehrnahad Weblog: http://mehrnehad.blogfa.com/ Matt Dancing; A Dance of UnityWritten by Kamyar Wednesday, 09 July 2008 00:00 A couple of years ago, when I first heard about YouTube website, I went to the most viewed videos section. 'Where the hell is Matt?' was one of the most viewed of all time, and if I am not mistaken, the number of views was less than a million. Today morning I received an email from Susan, titled 'Dance of Unity' and it contained the link to the new version of 'Where the hell is Matt?'. It was great to watch Matt dancing again. It's truly a dance of unity, very inspiring. Mention the amount of joy you can see in the faces and bodies of the people who join Matt, specially children.
Also, don't miss Matt's interview. A great example of listening to your heart and taking action, trusting your feelings. Then the universe replies back with a flow which will carry you on a speed you could never imagine. Listen to your heart and do itWritten by Kamyar Monday, 07 July 2008 00:00 Last night I got the chance to watch a documentary movie about Dubai. It was produced on 1974 by Kamran Shirdel, an Iranian documentarist. After the movie there was a Q&A session with the director. A guy who looked like a student asked him about the steps to become a good director. Kamran's answer was very close to the ideas and concepts that I am engaged with these days; learning. His answer was: Spend time with people who know how to do it, people who inspire you. Watch them and work with them. Learn through doing and learn together. When it comes to your own movie, first you have to listen to your heart, a great movie starts from your heart and connects to other hearts. Sense the subject, feel it and then follow the flow which will carry you. Just do it and you will learn it. Are we in tune?Written by Kamyar Wednesday, 02 July 2008 00:00 Sitting still on the beach, breathing consciously and focusing on whatever happens inside the body, including all the senses and feelings. Deeper and deeper, there is the sound of the waves, a couple of birds singing and the leaves of the palm trees moving with the wind. They are all in tune. There comes a thought, "are we - humans - in tune with the rest of the universe?" Suddenly a huge ugly sound covers everything else. You open the eyes and look around. A crane is dropping huge stones in to the sea. We are creating an island here! An island with the shape of a palm. More Articles...Page 4 of 6 |
