Hola
Comparto este interesante ensayo titulado "Living in the Moment" ("vivir en el momento") escrito por Elizabeth Kadesky, maestra de yoga. Refiere varias
enseñanzas de yoga, la mayoría filosóficas, desde la perspectiva de ver
a su madre con la enfermedad de Alzheimer.
Buen texto en el que habla también de los roles de los hemisferios cerebrales y de porque el yoga sirve para curar adicciones entre otros temas.
Para muestra va un párrafo, en inglés:
Sukha / dukha, I also learned in yoga — life contains pain and pleasure; by cultivating detachment
from both, the yogi observes both their beauty and hardship without
allowing either to overwhelm experience. Watch, observe, knowing you
can’t control.
of certain cognitive brain functions and a yoga-like ability to occupy
the moment. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist who wrote a book detailing her experience of a stroke that temporarily wiped out the
language and other functions of her left brain, describes the
right-brain-left-brain dichotomy as dividing thinking about the present
— in the right hemisphere — and thinking about the past and future — in
the left. The left hemisphere, she says, is responsible for “that
ongoing brain chatter.” The right brain, in her rendition of it,
collects data through the senses “and then it explodes into this
enormous collage of what this present moment looks like, what the
present moment smells like and tastes like, what it feels like and what
it sounds like.”
