Cuento "Continuidad de los parques", de Julio Cortázar

Entre chiens et chats
Cette histoire se passe il y a bien longtemps. Un hiver terrible s’abat sur le monde. Tous les animaux souffrent du froid et de la faim, chacun cherche un refuge pour se réchauffer un peu.
Le hasard fait que le peuple des chiens et le peuple des chats découvrent en même temps l’entrée d'une grotte.
- J’ai découvert cette grotte le premier, déclare le roi des chats. Elle portera mon nom et sera réservée à mon peuple.
- Pas question, rétorque le roi des chiens. Je suis arrivé avant toi…
- Alors, ce sera la guerre entre nos peuples ! proclame le roi des chats.

A gift from my heart to your heart! A guided meditation to help you relax, release and connect with your inner self...

For a teacher and a student. Something we can all benefit from and I use it every day :)

It's something unusual for a teacher to do, I know.

But I am not a normal teacher. I am interested in psychology, coaching, meditation, exploring the invisible. 

Today I'd like to share with you something I've come to realise after 14 years of my own personal & professional development - learning from the world's top teachers and something I've gathered from over 18,000 one-on-one coaching sessions with my students that I've successfully helped.

This is something I have done for my private students, but in today's meditation I had an idea to share it with the Italki community. 

Please allow my guided meditation to help you relax, feel comfortable in your skin and trust your inner instrument, the Dao WIthin, to take you where you need to go.

Let your Higher Self be your guide and my voice is the transmission mechanism to your Higher Self.

Feel good now.

Meditation For Reprogramming Limiting Beliefs

Reducing the time we spend on our smartphones outside of work could help improve satisfaction and motivation in the workplace, according to a new study.

Spending less time on our phones doing non-work tasks like scrolling social media or watching videos could also have an impact on our mental health, researchers said.

A research team from Germany wanted to find out about easy ways companies could improve the motivation and well-being of their employees.

Almost 280 volunteers were put into four groups.

For one week, people in the first group reduced their daily smartphone use by one hour.

People in the second group didn't change their smartphone use, but did 30 minutes more exercise per day.

Participants in the third group did both of these things. And the fourth group didn't make any changes at all.

The volunteers took surveys about their work satisfaction, motivation and mental health before starting the experiment. They took the surveys again after the experiment ended, and then again two weeks later.

The researchers found that participants in both of the groups that reduced their smartphone use saw significant improvements in their mental health and workplace satisfaction. People in these groups also felt that their work-life balance was better.

And those in the first three groups — including the exercise-only group — all said they felt a greater sense of control over their lives.

The researchers said companies could think about encouraging employees to make small changes like these to their daily lives. When employees are happier at work, they're likely to be more productive, they added.

And the good thing for companies is that there's no cost to encouraging changes like these!

En el pódcast que estás a punto de escuchar, oirás hablar sobre platos y bebidas costarricenses que quizás no conozcas.

Una expresión puramente costarricense es ¡Pura vida! Es tan común que a veces es lo primero que aprenden muchos extranjeros en español (sobre todo estadounidenses) gracias al turismo internacional del país.
