GESTALT AND SPIRITUALITY
Is this an item that is costing me more than the previous type, and is also one of the highlights of this release series I've been published and is coming to an end. About This, I manuscript ideas without substance, I caught the words of some of the books that can help illustrate the theme, I have postponed its publication for months ... not finding it easy to capture me is written as I got here, but internally I have it too clear, and I can also transmit verbally. And in the integration of Gestalt and Spirituality underlying my proposal for work.
Integration ... yes, finally is what it is.
Integration ... yes, finally is what it is.
Complete one with the missing parts (RAE). Everyday
I check both individual sessions and in group experiences, that integration between a proposal Gestalt and spirituality (or meditation, or be present or living the life ...) is something alive , feeding each other, they feeds and supplements. That is something that circulates, spinning dervishes dancing around themselves while simultaneously rotating between them. where there is no beginning and an end , and therefore there is no way or I can not find it, to explain this in a schematic, for the mind to understand.

begin with the word "spiritual" and its connotations. In the past, this word was linked to religion, and this is a journey, with all due respect that if I have never felt drawn to follow. This idea, that the spiritual is connected to religion, and the subsequent non-identification with religion, is cooking in the back of many people, on unconsciously in many cases.
is why for years I did not dare to say or to admit publicly that or I was interested in teaching or the spiritual path. Fortunately, "something" in me and in spite of me, still looking and finding.
One of the starting points where it stated more clearly that finding was reading the book "The Power of Now" by E. Tolle . With that reading began a profound transformation in myself and a meeting with the spiritual path in capital letters. This is also that until then, I already integrated a long and rich learning (in time and finds) Gestalt Therapy (among other disciplines). Later I understood that all that way before I prepared to receive what came later.
Following the word "spiritual" we see that comes from "spirit." And that is the spirit? We are, usually, with a use of this word that has nothing to do with what we want to convey. "There's no fighting spirit" or "is a poor in spirit" are some examples that point exactly in the opposite direction to what we try. The inner spirit is a place full of peace and quiet. Although we could also call: presence, essence, soul, being, universe, energy, life, consciousness ... and probably a few more words. Each one @ use the word that you feel more comfortable or related field.
take this opportunity ... the words, in some cases, have their limitations. I have on good account of the importance of words, and what they produce their vibrations is well known from scientific studies like those of Dr. Masaru Emoto . But in some cases have limitations, especially when we learn or try to learn a spiritual practice. It is therefore suggest that not become "hooked @" the concepts, the meaning, content. That's why I always suggest a few, several words that can be used. not let the concepts or interpretations entertain you over the bill. Certainly no time to lose!
Following what brings us together at this time ...
... and going on, meeting as first common point between Gestalt and Spirituality that the basic proposal is both recognize the ego.
The ego. A basic question for us humans. There various levels of understanding about what is the ego. When I ask people who understand the ego, I describe something that some people have and that has to do with strength of character and pride, as much thought deeming same or be very grown up, or something like that ... To me, the ego is something else.
What helps me to know and understand more deeply the nature of the ego, is the work of Marina Borruso (www.marinaborruso.net) . She said, very simple and direct, that the ego is an idea. It's the idea you have about yourself or same.
The ego is present in all people and has great strength in our mind. As it is an idea, it is housed in the mind, of course. The ego is voice that speaks to you head that tells you who you are and what you are or not able to do what you like or dislike, if it is or is not what you do or do other , etc ... have "features" own, ie, has a basic structure is the same in all WE ARE s : between past and future, this is not importance to him and always projects a point in time where you will find (or had) what it lacks, judged constantly, either to himself as to others, it moves between the positions of victim and executioner, in the situations around him, is vital for him to be right, that he confirms it is in the "true" love to complain (to the outside or inside is the same), has a lot of fear of its own dissolution, and some other "peculiarities" more.
From spiritual path, and this is a common denominator in any school of human development to you approach, the aim is learning to be in a place inside where you know you're something more than your ego and experience where your ego is not what you really are, in fact has nothing to do with deep within you.
insist that this is a experiential learning, and therefore can not be studied or learned from another location other than their own experience in the work itself. Once you have this experience and know that all this production is suffering due to the nature of ego , you can start mirĂ¡rtelo otherwise, steer clear of his influence. And this brings a new way of being in the world , with less suffering and more authenticity and welfare.
Another thing is to know in particular that of the limited versions your ego has chosen to move through life. Knowing how makes and breaks his sinvivir . Close to him and to elucidate how moves in relationships with others or with yourself or yourself. Knowing as has woven its particular but very predictable way to manipulate the world to get what he wants. The Gestalt, and is something I have been repeated in previous releases, is very useful to reach levels of understanding and deep acceptance of what your ego.
