NHKプロフェッショナル 仕事の流儀という番組がありますが
先日はデザイナーの佐藤オオキさんが紹介されていました。
佐藤さんは、
Newsweek誌「世界が尊敬する日本人100人」に選ばれています。
世界２０か国を超える企業からオファーが舞い込み
１年の半分近く海外を飛び回り
常に250ほどの案件を抱えているそうです
佐藤さんがアイデアを考えるとき
子どもの視点に立ち返ることで
自由奔放に可能性を見いだしていくのだそうです。
「本当に素人というか、
子どものようなまなざしで物事を見て物事を捉える。
そのために常に頭をリセットしているというか、
既成概念ってものを、常にこう取り除き続けている感覚。」
なのだとか
常に既成概念を取り除くということを繰り返してアイデアを得る・・
マインドを静めて直感を得る・・ことと同じような・・・

Day 13 Faithful Me
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” E.E. Cummings
「成長して本当の自分になるには勇気が必要だ」 E.E. カミングス
目標に執着している時には
実現などできないのではないかと感じることがたびたびあります。
自分自身にこういっているかもしれません。
「実現させたい、目標もみえているのになぜ到達できないのだろう」
答えは、ちょっとしたところにあります。手放すことです。
Mindful Moment：過去の経験を解き放つ思考、感情、感覚を感じてみましょう。
今日一日、手放すというすばらしいツールを実践してみましょう。
通勤や通学の道を変えてみたり、
その他、いつもより静かに時を過ごしたり、
いつもと行動をちょっと変えてみましょう。
いつもしていることを手放すときどのように感じるでしょうか。
一日に何度も行い、あなたの体、マインド、魂がどのように変化し始めてくるのかを感じましょう。
Centering Thought: 「私は信じます。信頼します。解き放ちます」
When we hold tightly to a goal, we often find it to be elusive. We may say to ourselves, “I want this so badly. I can see my goal. Why can’t I reach it?” The answer lies within the fine art and practice of detachment.
As we detach from the outcome of whatever we desire, we let go and gently surrender to the wisdom of uncertainty, which holds our freedom from the past, the known, and the limitations of any preconceived notions. In our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we give ourselves over to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe, trusting that what we desire will come to us.”
Mindful Moment “Take time today to explore the thoughts, feelings, and sensations connected to your experience of letting go. As you travel through the day, practice the fine art of detachment and let life flow. Invite yourself to shift your approach perhaps taking a different route as you make your way to work or school or by staying calm when you might otherwise not. Tune into what it feels like to let go; practice over and over today and see how your body, mind, and spirit begin to shift.”
Centering Thought: “I believe. I trust. I let go.”
Sanskrit Mantra: “Om Bhavam Namah – I am absolute existence. I am a field of all possibility”
Oprah: “Welcome to day 13, Faithful Me. What a wonderful feeling – when we allow ourselves to simply be who we are. Today, we honor the freedom to be. When we accept who we are, just as we are, with trust in the power of source energy, we take an essential step along the journey to aligning with our true purpose and destiny. So here’s another thing I know for sure…uncertainty is certain. Embracing and flowing with that uncertainty is an essential part of the path to freedom, to peace, to love and abundance in our lives. And it takes courage to surrender, to trust in divine timing, to be in your own flow. It takes faith and belief to open up and access that which is our deepest truth. But, when we allow the force of the universe to step in, we access a level of love, strength and abundance that comes from the very capital S source of our being. The power of that, well…. there really are no words. So, let’s listen as Deepak guides us to surrender. Let go to life as it is at any moment, and have faith that no matter what, you will be all right. Then we’ll meditate.”
Deepak: ”When we embark on the journey to follow our joy and fulfill our destiny, our constant traveling companion, our ego mind, naturally wants to know all of the details ahead of time. Where exactly are we going and how long will it take? Will we be safe and comfortable and enjoy ourselves? Will we succeed in creating our desired outcome?
The ego mind creates certainty and control. Yet life is inherently uncertain and can’t be controlled. The good news is that while uncertainty can be unsettling, it is also the source of our greatest joy. As the spiritual law of detachment states, in order to acquire anything in the physical universe, you have to relinquish your attachment to it. This doesn’t mean that you have to renounce your desire and live the life of a monk. Instead, you set your intention, take whatever action is inspired and relinquish your attachment to the result.
In detaching, you affirm your unquestioning belief in the power of your true self which is a divine expression of the universe. Your true self is the source of all wealth, abundance and everything else in the physical world. It is the consciousness that knows how to fulfill every need. When you hold on to your desire with limited awareness of who you really are, you prevent the infinite organizing powers of the universe from bringing it into fruition. It is like wanting to use the wind to fly your kite but being unwilling to let go of the string.
Remember that if you have been holding on to attachments for a life time, letting go isn’t going to happen in one fell swoop. Be gentle with yourself and take one step at a time. By opening yourself to uncertainty, even if just a little bit at a time, you will gradually release any self-imposed limitations and allow your life and journey to unfold in ways more wondrous and fulfilling than you could ever have imagined. You will come to realize that there is nothing that you can lose that will diminish your wholeness and nothing you can gain that will add to who you are. You are already whole and so is everyone else. Hold the intention for everything to work out for the highest good of everyone involved and then let go and allow opportunities to come your way.
As we prepare to meditate, let’s consider our centering thought, I believe, I trust, I let go. I believe, I trust, I let go. Let’s begin
Please sit comfortably and close your eyes. In this moment, go within. Let go of all thoughts and begin to observe the inflow and outflow of your breath, inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply. Now, gently introduce the mantra, Om Bhavam Namah. I am absolute existent. I am a field of all possibilities. Repeat the mantra silently to yourself, Om Bhavam Namah. Om Bhavam Namah. Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts or noises around you, simply return your attention to silently repeating the mantra. Om Bhavam Namah. Continue with your meditation for about 10 minutes. Then release the mantra. Please bring your awareness back into your body. Take a moment to rest. When you feel ready, gently open your eyes.
As you walk through the day, contemplate our centering thought. I believe. I trust. I let go. I believe. I trust. I let go. I believe. I trust. I let go.
Namaste
Journal Questions:
1. “When we accept who we are, just as we are, with trust in the power of source energy, we take an essential step along the journey to aligning with our true purpose and destiny. Write a letter that shares “what you wish you knew” when you were younger – about the importance, liberation, and power of “just being you” in life. Write this letter of wisdom and encouragement to the important young people in your life, and as a reminder to your inner child. Consider sharing this letter with someone special.”
2. “Describe the evidence you have in your life experience that helps you to trust that things will be ok – to trust the timing in the universe. Maybe you have a story that speaks deeply to your heart and opens your trust; perhaps you see a sign in nature or hear a song over and over at just the right time. Where can you let go and let life flow in your life today?”
3. “What are you grateful for today?”
4. “Reflect further on today’s experience.”
