Leiðir til að efla lífshamingju og auka innsæi í daglegu lífi

 

 

Yangsi Rinpoche var viðurkenndur sex ára að aldri sem Geshe Ngawang Gendun endurholgaður en hann var þekktur fræðimaður og iðkandi búddisma frá Tíbet. Hann var jafnframt meistari margra þekktra kennara meðal annars Lama Yeshe og Lama Zopa Rinpoche sem hafa báðir heimsótt Ísland.

Yangsi Rinpoche útskrifaðist með Geshe Lamrampa gráðuna frá Sera Je klaustrinu í Suður Indlandi eftir að hafa hlotið þjálfun í 25 ár í sama klaustri. Yangsi Rinpoche hefur sérstakan áhuga á að kenna Vesturlandabúum búddisma. Hann fluttist árið 1998 til Bandaríkjanna og hefur kennt þar víða sem og í Evrópu og Asíu.

Árið 2005 stofnaði Yangsi Rinpoche Maitripa-skólann, sem er búddískur háskóli í Portland Oregon. Þar starfar hann bæði sem rektor og prófessor í búddískum fræðum.

Yangsi Rinpoche er höfundur bókarinnar Practicing the Path (Wisdom Publications). Hann er þekktur fyrir sinn djúpa skilning á búddisma og hæfileikann til að tengja þessa fornu þekkingu við nútímann.

Nottingham at the centre of Out of Body Experience research

By Nottingham Post  |  Posted: July 30, 2014

Have you ever had an out of body experience?

 Comments (0)

Nottingham is at the centre of research into a mysterious experience reported by ten per cent of adults. Jeremy Lewis reports on out of body experiences.

 

 

WELCOME to the OBE that involves an astral trip, not a trip to Buckingham Palace.

Out of Body Experiences are reported by ten per cent of people and now Nottingham Trent University is trying to find out more.

And if you believe you have found your conscious self departing your body – and perhaps even inspecting yourself from a perch on top of the wardrobe – you may be able to help.

You have until tomorrow to complete an online questionnaire on www.survey.bris.ac.uk/ntupsychology/obequestionnaire.

It's all part of a project to aid more accurate research into the phenomenon that has fascinated scientists for decades.

"It's all about widening psychological knowledge in this underexplored area," said Dr David Wilde a lecturer in Nottingham Trent University's school of social sciences.

Out-of-body experiences, or OBEs, attract various definitions. They are, according to the Macmillan Dictionary, "situations in which someone feels as if they are outside their own body and can watch what is happening to it."

The Oxford is slightly more specific: "The sensation of being outside one's body, typically of floating and being able to observe oneself from a distance."

The term was coined in 1943 the English parapsychologist George Tyrrell (1879-1952) in his book Apparitions. Tyrrell devoted much of his life to psychical research, conducting experiments into precognition and telepathy. Until then, the sensation had been described variously as an "astral projection" or "spirit walking".

Some out-of-body experiences have included so-called near-death experiences reported by people who have endured serious illness or injury. They include...

Comedy genius Peter Sellers, who had several heart attacks in middle age and reportedly recalled slipping out of his body and observing doctors trying to save him.

Elizabeth Taylor, who recalled doctors pronouncing her dead in the late 1950s and, before returning to her body, encountering her late husband Mike Todd, who had been killed in an air crash.

Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx, who once said that after drug overdoses he went out of body and "saw things I shouldn't have been able to see: the hotel hallway, the ambulance, the limo that was there. I couldn't have seen that because there was a sheet over me."

Were these actual out-of-body experiences, or some- thing slightly different?

The psychologists at Nottingham Trent are carrying out the in-depth study so that they can distinguish between people who have had an out of body experience and those who have had similar hallucinatory experiences.

According to the university, people who have such an experience typically report it as being like a lucid dream, often with a sensation of floating, looking down on one's physical body, or a feeling of travelling to other locations or distant places.

The new study is being funded by the Bial Foundation in Portugal and will involve in-depth interviews with people who claim to have had such experiences, along with a detailed analysis of previous case reports. This groundwork will then be used to develop a screening tool to enable researchers to discriminate between those who have had out-of-body experiences and those who have not.

The team hopes to be able to identify different types of experiences, based on factors such as different triggers and the circumstances under which they occur.

"When we use surveys to study the out-of-body experience we usually give a brief definition of it and ask people to say if they have had one or not," said Dr Wilde.

"However, there are other similar hallucinatory experiences that could be mistaken for an out-of-body experience, so by using only one question to screen for the experience there is some room for error when interpreting the results of important studies.

"The features that characterise the out-of-body experience are also quite rich and varied, but have been typically ignored in modern research in favour of a slimmed down set of 'core' characteristics.

"Previous research has shown that certain out-of-body experiences features can hold a lot of significance for a person and this can affect how they understand and interpret their OBE.

"With this study, we want to be able to more precisely explore what an out-of-body experience is, and whether somebody has really had one.

"This fascinating experience has been of interest to psychiatry and psychology for more than 100 years, but it's clear that more work is still needed if we are to better understand what the OBE is and how it affects different people."

 

 

Paralysed:

A man in his late teens is relaxing in his bedroom, dozes off and then awakes to find that his mind is awake but his body is completely paralysed.

He is unable to move or even call for help and lies there terrified. He suddenly finds himself outside of his body and sitting on a shelf in his room looking down on himself as he lies in bed.

As he continues to look at his body in the bed, his room starts to grow bigger and he finds himself back in his body and awake again and able to move.

Watching:

A young woman reported having half a dozen out-of-body experiences over the course of her lifetime.

Her first happened when she was attending art class at her new school. She remembers enjoying the class and becoming engrossed in her drawing and painting. As she became progressively focused on her drawing she suddenly noticed that she could see her hand and drawing and the whole classroom from a point above her head near the ceiling.

The experience lasted for a few moments and she did not feel frightened.

Is it possible for the mind to empty itself totally of fear?

Is it possible for the mind to empty itself totally of fear? Fear of any kind breeds illusion; it makes the mind dull, shallow. Where there is fear there is obviously no freedom, and without freedom there is no love at all. And most of us have some form of fear; fear of darkness, fear of public opinion, fear of snakes, fear of physical pain, fear of old age, fear of death. We have literally dozens of fears. And is it possible to be completely free of fear?We can see what fear does to each one of us. It makes one tell lies; it corrupts one in various ways; it makes the mind empty, shallow. There are dark corners in the mind which can never be investigated and exposed as long as one is afraid. Physical self-protection, the instinctive urge to keep away from the venomous snake, to draw back from the precipice, to avoid falling under the tramcar, and so on, is sane, normal, healthy. But I am asking about the psychological self-protectiveness which makes one afraid of disease, of death, of an enemy. When we seek fulfillment in any form, whether through painting, through music, through relationship, or what you will, there is always fear. So, what is important is to be aware of this whole process of oneself, to observe, to learn about it, and not ask how to get rid of fear. When you merely want to get rid of fear, you will find ways and means of escaping from it, and so there can never be freedom from fear.

Shikantaza

Shikantaza, zazen, is—our zazen is just to be ourselves.  Just to be ourselves.  We should not expect anything, you know, just to be ourselves.  And continue this practice forever.  That is our way, you know.  Even, we say, even in, you know (what do you say?) [laughs], even in, you know [snaps fingers], [student:  "Snap of the fingers?"] [laughs, laughter], you know, in snapping your fingers there are millions of kalpas—no, cetanās. [1]   The unit of time.  You know, we say “moment after moment,” but in your actual practice, moment is too long, you know.  If we say “moment,” you know, or “one breathing after another,” you still involved in—your mind still involved in, you know, following breathing, you know, to follow breathe.  We say “to follow breathe,” “to follow our breathing,” but the feeling is, you know, in each, you know—to live in each moment.

Hildur Þórðardóttir, þjóðfræðingur, rithöfundur og heilari

HILDUR ÞÓRÐARDÓTTIR SKRIFAR:

Ertu alltaf með áhyggjur af því að öðrum líði vel, að þeir verði ekki reiðir eða fari í fýlu? Ertu meira í að láta drauma annarra rætast en þína eigin? Heldurðu að þú verðir hamingjusöm ef þú hjálpar öðrum að hætta að drekka, reykja eða líða illa? 
Sumir eru snillingar í að geta sér til um þarfir fólks og leggja sig í líma við að uppfylla þær. Þeir álíta sig jafnvel ábyrga fyrir gjörðum annarra og hegðun, þörfum þeirra og vali, vellíðan eða skorti á vellíðan. Ef hjálp þeirra er ekki metin verða þeir sárir og finnst aðrir vanþakklátir. Svo verða þeir líka sárir að enginn skuli gera það sama fyrir þá. Samt fyllast þeir hræðilegri sektarkennd ef einhver réttir þeim hjálparhönd. 

Þetta fólk segir já þótt það vilji frekar segja nei og fyllist svo pirringi yfir að hafa allt of mikið að gera. Orðið nei er ekki til í orðaforðanum, nema helst til að neita sjálfum sér um eitthvað. Ef aðrir eru ekki nógu snöggir að sinna sínum verkefnum, gerir hinn meðvirki það og fyllist gremju yfir að þurfa alltaf að gera allt.

Vanvirkt heimili
Meðvirkni er þegar okkur finnst við ekki eiga rétt á því að hafa grunnþarfir og langanir og að þarfir og langanir annarra skipta meira máli en okkar eigin. Flestir halda að meðvirkni sé bundin við óhóflega drykkju eða ofbeldi á heimili, en í raun tengist hún miklu frekar vanvirkum aðstæðum í æsku. Heimili er vanvirkt ef ekki má sýna reiði og gremju, ef vonbrigði eru falin með Pollýönnuviðhorfi og kvíði og ótti bældir niður.

Meðvirkir hugsa um allt sem þeir ættu að gera og það er langur listi því þeir eru svo duglegir að taka að sér verkefni og fullir ábyrgðarkenndar. En listinn virkar svo yfirþyrmandi að þeir fyllast verkstoli og missa framkvæmdaþrekið. Þeir skammast sín fyrir letina og fyrir sjálfa sig. Þeir eru sannfærðir um að þeir séu ekki nógu góðir og eru sífellt að brjóta sjálfa sig niður með neikvæðum hugsunum. Svo fyrtast þeir við ef einhver dirfist að gagnrýna þá. Þeir fara í vörn eða reiðast og telja sig alltaf hafa á réttu að standa. Þeir eiga erfitt með að taka hrósi en samt eru þeir vonsviknir yfir að fá aldrei viðurkenningu fyrir allt sem þeir gera fyrir aðra.

Meðvirkni er í stuttu máli lágt sjálfsmat og getuleysi til að standa með sjálfum sér. Meðvirkni er því ekki sjúkdómur heldur lærð hegðun, samskiptamunstur, hugsunarháttur og viðhorf. Þegar fólk gerir sér grein fyrir meðvirkni er hægt að vinna bug á henni. Með því að vinna í gömlu tilfinningunum og hleypa þeim upp á yfirborðið má sleppa skelinni og leyfa okkur sjálfum að koma í ljós.
