Flow

Mother Nature just flows because she is the smartest being on the planet.
If you are forcing something against its own will it will not be natural, therefore it will not flow. It will get stuck. You will get stuck.

Your actions determine your fate. Are you prepared to evolve and let go?

Have you ever noticed that if you let things to happen they will figure out how to flow in your best interest.We have to learn so much from the Mother Nature and what do we do instead? We destroy her. We act like we own her. Like we are smarter and and we can empower her. Really? I beg those who still think this way to think about the harm they are causing. Please stop cruelty on the animals and stop destroying our beautiful Mother. She is the one who gave you life.

And a lovely video below that moves me every time I watch it.

Irony of Isolation

My nature is to talk to anyone about anything. When I meet total strangers I can just compliment them or ask them what is on my mind at that moment. Yes, this is me and this is my way to stay connected with the outer world. 

I do not read newspapers neither do I watch TV. I basically have no interest to get information via media. I rather find for myself. I rather feel that person`s vibe and energy instead of passively receiving made up stories. 

Media has overpowered many people who sightlessly believe in it. People stopped thinking for themselves and echo back what they hear from TV and radio. Ironically they get disconnected with people around them because they stopped talking to them. As this gap is growing, isolation growing too.

I wish for everyone to start talking to people on the street, in the supermarket, in the queue, on the train.

It will change your lives. You will get richer and will surround yourself with the real people.

Happy Friday everyone.

Mindfulness

My friend invited me to the Vipassana meditation. It was my first meditation ever and I didn't know what to expect. We were explain the basics of this meditation, its elements and benefits. The practise was composed of three parts. The bending part, the walking part and the sitting part. I am  a person who is unable to stay still for longer than 1 minutes unless my mind and thoughts wonders somewhere else. Im constant planner, looking to the future or to the past. I thought I could definitely benefit from the meditation because its goal is to keep you in the present moment.

I really enjoyed the bending and the walking part but quite couldn't get through the sitting part where sitting still for 10-15mins was the crucial task. During the day when the intervals of each part got longer I got frustrated because I was feeling exhausted, asleep and with a headache. I was happy that at 4pm it was all over and I went home to rest. I thought that meditation is not simply for me. I have to say it was damm hard. I never felt this kind of exhaustion even after the hard training in the gym.

I slept on it and I woke up different. Calm, still, patient, happy and with the clear head without any thought or worries. I am enjoying my Sunday when I can do things but I do them as they come and I don't force myself to run, plan, think or get crazy.
I will definitely be practising more of Vipassana and even might go for a retreat in Thailand or somewhere in Europe. I know this will help me on my way to achieve my goals because  I know that if you can't live in the present moment it is like you don't live at all.

Blessed Day

Yesterday, without realising was the most perfect day in a long time. Totally spontaneously I got to spend time with all members of my family and I consider it to be the biggest blessing of that day. My family, however we disagree on many topics, is my everything and I really love them.

I started my day with 10km run in the nature while watching the sunrise. Running helps me to get rid of the excess of energy and after that I can concentrate and focus better and get more things done. 

Then, me, my sister Helen, her partner Michal and their daughter Emm went to see my father who is a farmer and during those hot summer days is harvesting grains on the fields. I`ve got to sit inside the harvester next to my dad and watch how millions of grain entered inside this massive machine so that few moments later they were spilt out and on the lorry transported to the nearest grainery. There was also my half brother Petr who helps my father to run the farm. 

At the lunch time, me, my mom and my youngest sister Jeff had meal together at the local pub and  after that we went swimming in the nearby natural lake with our  dogs, chihuahua Orion and prague`s rattle Charlie.

Just imagine this peaceful lake surrounded by forrest and nobody else is there. It is such a privilege to live in this picturesque valley with no sign of industrial damage. On many occasion and specially when I run I see all sorts of wild animals in the fields close to me. It makes my heart jump with a joy and appreciation.

In the evening after helping my mom to water the whole garden, me and my sis Jeff took our bikes and cycled 5km up to Monínec resort moninec.cz where we had glass of wine and were enjoying the best view on the whole valley.

I only realised it this morning that however ordinary my day was it was a real blessing because nothing can compare to this feeling that you have a family and you are part of each of them. I feel so lonely sometimes but if I change my point of view and look at things from a different perspective I will never be alone when I don't want to be.

Full Blue Moon 

“Once in a blue moon someone comes along that you’ll never forget.” ~ Unknown

July 31st is a very special day for me. Exactly 14 years ago I had a serious car crash which I survived. Since that year I celebrate this day as my second birthday. On that road full of debris of a damaged car I was born for a second time in this life and and have been grateful ever since. 

Today is even twice as magical because of a Full Blue Moon in the sign of Aquarius comes to our lives. This moon we are being asked to stop and look around to notice what we have been easily overlooking in past few months. I have already had a big lesson 14 years ago for certain purposes but now I am not ignoring my instincts.

"One of the most special aspects of this moon is that we won't have another blue moon month until 2018. For many of us, we will be receiving our last bits of a long awaited wake-up call that actually began back in 2012, far before most of us were aware of the changes that were developing" Source: Unprecedented Blue Moon in Aquarius

Today I have woken up with the urge to go running. I was saying for weeks and months that I am not a morning bird and can't do it. And today I did it. It felt natural and great. It felt so right that I know it is something I will not be doing only in a blue moon but every time i go running.
Later on, I opened a birthday wish from a very special person to me. My true friend Adel. It was so beautiful that I had to cry. It opened my heart wide open and I know it is no coincidence that I opened this card on this day.
This is what was written inside :

André,

I wish you that your aim in life is going towards the right direction and that your life lessons are as easiest as possible so that you find out what you really wish for because in this finding is the biggest power. Knowing what you want and follow it without going astray from your goals is the right way for every one of us.

I believe that because we have found common course on our mutual path many times, our paths will be crossing, meeting and flow for many coming years. I really wish for it because I have never experienced so many life changes and personal evolution with anyone else but with you.

I wish you for this birthday only what you really wish for deeply from your heart!!!

All the best

I love you

Yours Adel!

Because certain chances only come around once in a blue moon I am not letting them pass by. I was making excuses for so many things for so many months but now I am ready for a change and grateful for the chance given.

My Wish Box 

I have got this beautiful handcrafted wooden box from my future brother-in-law for my 36th birthday. 

I absolutely love and adore this idea of a present. It came with a thought about me and it will reflect thoughts of everyone. It also came with a purpose that everyone around me who dares, can express their wishes and thoughts about me and I will open it on my 40th birthday. 

For years I have been writing diaries where I put my dreams, hopes, wishes and also worries, troubles and painful experience. Reading it all now feels damm good. I can see how much I evolved, grew and changed. I see how many things I had achieved those past years and how many mountains I had climbed. It is WHO I AM TODAY.

And now my closest friends and family can write how they see me in 4 years. It makes this present twice as gorgeous and special. 

I am already curious where I will be in 4 years and what my loved ones had to say about me.

With Love A.

24-7

 Isn't just a random date in the calendar

It means to be available 7 days in the week and 24 hours every day. Yes I am a social media fanatic and for years I have had the nick name  @vysilacka. Im on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Skype, Line, Viber, WhatsApp and some others will come in my way with time.

Yesterday I celebrated my 36th birthday and realised that I want to share my photos, videos and comments so I started this blog.

So here is how much I grew in past 36 years.
