another sunny day

HEJ!

This is the first post in my blog and I am happy I finally got round to do this since the idea has been growing within me since a while now. :) 

I am sitting here in my room listening to Radiohead, and a fresh post-rain/thunderstorm air is coming in through the open windows. The birds are singing and I am feeling goooood :)

This is the first time I am working with my new MacBook,  gradually getting used to it ;)

This morning, I signed up to the awesome rawfood online community giveittomeraw.com, a platform for people who love raw foods. It is hosted by the lovely Dhrumil, who has published this great quote by Eckhart Tolle which I would like to share here: 

Internal and External Worlds

"Internal and external are ultimately one. When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently. Love and compassion arise, and they affect the world."

What does this mean to me? Basically, the outer reality is just a projection of our collective inner realities. If you live in fear, your outer reality will always reflect this fear and you will hence get the corresponding experience. Energy goes where attention flows. 

If you shift your inner reality from fear to love, the outer reality, i.e. experiences and people you attract, will ultimately change as well. You will attract more love into your life, this is a universal law: what you send out comes back to you.  And after all, things are always in transition, everything is movement, energy, change. When I started writing this post, clouds were in the sky and I was listening to Radiohead. Now, just a couple of minutes later, the clouds have cleared up and the sun is coming through and I am listening to Zero 7. 

Yes, I have been digging out some old tapes! I remember the days before the digital age, when none of my friends had a laptop, and we were listening to all our favourite songs on our parent's stereo, making mixtapes for each other with Kate Bush on. Hmmm, I am getting really nostalgic now :) Digital is NOT always better. In this fast moving world, some slowing down and returning to basics might actually do us good. There is a great deal of creativity lying in slowness. In peace and quiet, there is space for greatness. You get access to the potential that is lying within each one of us. Its just the constant noise around us and within us that disturbs. Silence is important. In this respect, I would like to refer you to the amazing artists John Cage (musician), Merce Cunningham (dancer) and Robert Rauschenberg (painter), who were very interested in silence in music and nothingness in art. But more about this next time, gotta go now :)

All Love, Nadjaaaa xxxxxxxx :)
