This Simple Mental Trick Can Slow Down Time Ever wonder why time seems to speed up the older — and busier — you get? The answer is simple: It’s probably because you’re just not paying attention. Most of us know the feeling well: As we grow up and fill our days with more busyness, time seems to fly by faster and faster. The Inc. The more detailed the memory, the longer the moment seems to last. Eagleman’s research made headlines again this week. “The reason is you didn’t lay down any new footage during the flight,” Eagleman wrote. British journalist Claudia Hammond echoed the idea that the amount of input our brain is receiving at any given moment can create a “time warp.” Humans seem to process the world in three-second increments (the duration of a handshake, the length of the annoying sound computers make when they start up, and the periodic rhythm of speech), and we develop a sense for how those increments sync with clock time. So the solution to the time-flying problem? Also on HuffPost:
WANKEN - The Art & Design blog of Shelby White Mindfulness exercises | Living Well Mindfulness practice allows you to be able to identify, tolerate and reduce difficult, painful and even frightening thoughts, feelings and sensations; it gives you back some sense of mastery over them. Rather than feeling that you are being pushed around by your feelings and thoughts you learn to be able to have some agency over them. So what is this thing called mindfulness? Below are some definitions: The awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment to moment (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). Put simply, mindfulness is as simple as becoming aware of your here and now experience, both internally and in the external world around you. Sometimes it is easier to understand something in terms of what it is not. If you do some or even most of these things at times, then you are probably a normal member of the human race. We have provided a number of downloadable mindfulness exercises in this section.
Yours, Roxanne El siglo del yo: máquinas de felicidad; documental sobre el deseo y las necesidades artificiales Una parte importantísima del capitalismo es el proceso ideológico que, paralelo a sus mecanismos económicos, lo fortalecen y lo perpetúan, nos hace pensar que este es el único modo de vida posible o, por utilizar perversamente el motto de Leibniz, que este es el mejor de los mundos posibles. La propiedad, la acumulación, el consumo, entre otros, son, en efecto, realidades económicas, materiales, pero también circunstancias que impactan en la vida mental del individuo, en sus pensamientos y sus acciones, en sus hábitos y los conceptos bajo los cuales rige su existencia. El siglo del yo es un documental de cuatro capítulos que examina esta situación, rastreando sus orígenes históricos y las implicaciones sociales que ha tenido. Así, la necesidad y el deseo comenzaron a producirse en serie, a intercambiarse, a comprarse y venderse, a tratarse como cualquier mercancía se trata en el capitalismo.

La historia a través de sus leyendas nos explica que la copa original fue llevada a España, y escondida en diferentes lugares, evitando que fuera encontrada durante las invasiones árabes. Más adelante el Grial fue llevado a la ciudad de Valencia donde reposa hoy día. En un marco de vidrio blindado, el supuestamente antiguo Grial sólo sale de su vitrina en 2 ceremonias al año. En esta versión del Grial hay datos, nombres y fechas de su trayectoria, pero es esta la versión de la iglesia católica. Otra version es que Jose de Arimatea (dueño de la copa y anfitrión del lugar donde se llevó a cabo la ultima cena), al morir Jesús, tomó el Grial y se lo llevó a el país de Gales, donde en Canterbury se construyó la primera catedral del Reino Unido en albergar el Grial. Jesús le dio un valor y un peso importantísimo al símbolo de una copa.

Peter Harris ” In the decade that I’ve painted the urban landscape, one name is consistently mentioned when people first encounter my work: Edward Hopper. Philippe Tyberghien ” I am a Franco/Belgian artist who works in photography and makes them look like old paintings (old or less). Mi Ju ” My work is an improvisation in liminality: between dream and concretized, ancient and contemporary, Korea and the West, ephemeral and eternal, the uncensored and codified.

Música para asimilar tu sombra Cuántos de nosotros no hemos sido literalmente envueltos en la euforia de la noche, un caudal de experiencias abstractas, intensamente sensoriales, que desbordan nuestros procesos conscientes. Acto seguido, en ocasiones, sucede a esa vivencia un momento suspendido en el que este caos sensibilizado comienza a arrojar respuestas, las abstracciones se desdoblan en lúcidas siluetas y un cierto entendimiento de nuestra naturaleza más profunda comienza a florecer. Assimilating the Shadow es un álbum que parece explícitamente diseñado para digerir las enigmáticas revelaciones de ese cíclico eclipse individual: nuestro andar nocturno. Sencillas escalas sintetizadas van entretejiéndose hasta dar vida a una magnética acompañante.
