Centering

Another Biosynthesis concept is Centering.
It is best explained by the image of a hurricane. Life is like a hurricane, blowing us of our feet, at least, if you do not hide in a small corner.

Heavy rain falling, violent winds blowing, all kind of articles flying through the air and you need all your forces to secure yourself. Often the storm blows you off your feet. Life is like that for a person who is not well centered, not all of the time, of course, there are also times that are calm and everything seems to be allright. But when the hurricane comes you better start looking for the center.
The eye of the storm is a place where it is calm, the sky is clear, representing a spiritual connection and from where you are, you can see all the turmoil around you without being swept off your feet.

You are centered, not identifying with all the crazyness going on but you can see it. And while the hurricane or life moves on, you move with it, attuned to the eye and connected to earth.
Centering is like that, finding that calm and silent place within you. From there you can see all the illusion of superficial but violent movement around you that we call life.
You can see the repetition of useless patrons, going around in circles. all the time.
Centering is not, hiding in the corner untill the storm passes, but it is standing in the middle where you can hear your breath, feel your heart beat, relaxed and strong.

You need nothing more.

Grounding and Home video's

Grounding is one of the basic concepts in Biosynthesis.

In very simple words you can says that it means, 'understanding and being able to deal with the reality of your being in a situation.'

The Portuguese word is 'Rooting' like the roots of a tree that grow deep into the soil to nourish the tree and prevent it from falling down. But of course Grounding is not a rigid thing; a person can move, dance, walk or run well grounded, as we say.

And it goes further, a person can be well grounded in the way he or she speaks, choosing words that are to the point, explaining exactly what needs to be explained and dedicated to the listener, so he can understand what is being communicated.

So the opposite of grounding is moving and falling, talking and stuttering, explaining and not being understood, etc.
And we love it when it happens to other people than ourselves.
It started with Charley Chaplin and all the slapstick comedy guys and since we are able to record video we became the target of the exposure of the lack of grounding. The more the others fall and stumble, we shake with laughter.
The great success of the Home Video shows on television is that we see other people doing stupid things while we are sitting on the lazy couch looking full of fascination to a box with a glass front where light is projected.
Who has a lack of grounding?
