Would you like to take a moment to step away from the fast-paced, stressful rhythm of daily life? Lavender meditation invites you to a world filled with tranquility and peace. Through this simple yet powerful practice, you can lower your stress levels, rediscover your life energy, and feel happier and more balanced. When practiced before sleep, it also helps you drift into a restful slumber with ease. With lavender meditation, offer a gift to both your mind and soul! For years, I’ve practiced meditation by focusing on my breath. This technique helps clear my mind of regrets about the past and anxieties about the future, allowing me to center myself in the present moment. I feel the “now” deeply, becoming more open to the experiences life offers in that instant. However, there are times when my mind pulls me into the dark corners of the past or the uncertainties of the future. In such moments, despite my efforts, I often find myself drifting away from the ...

We wander through the past, now, and future dimensions of time. The now/moment is the place we avoid the most, which is why we are deprived of many things. From love, peace, tranquility…in short, from life… Some say that the now/moment is a beyond-time sacred space and eternal. They say that pain, suffering, and sorrow are caused by wandering over the bad memories of the past and worrying about the future, sleeping with them, and getting up with them. These are true; I sense them more than I believe; I experience them. The divine transcendent self can only be felt in the holy and eternal now. Our view of the past from now is not in the conditions of those times but through the eyes of the present. We often reconstruct or distort the past. We regret, blame ourselves, and suffer, saying that I wouldn't have done that if I had the current mind. Although we are wiser(!) now, we imagine the future mixed with anxieties and fears, as we are conditioned by the loser's and guilt's p...

Finally, I found meditation as a way to get rid of overthinking obsessions and similar annoyances. I also recommend it to those who are dealing with such problems. I was born in 1961. My student and professional life coincided with the turbulent times of my country, Turkey. It had been difficult for me to maintain my psychological balance among people who blindly believe stereotypical norms of their groups instead of general morality and ethics. Working without entering the magnetic range of any group brought about interpersonal conflicts. There were many times when I was overwhelmed and looked for a peaceful corner to escape. Finally, I retired in 2002 without severe loss. When I look back, I see many successful projects together with interpersonal conflicts. As I stepped into my pleasant corner and dreamed of a peaceful life, the troubles and memories I had in the past started to disturb me. I once reflected my mood in my diary like this: "Because of the ...

We are not aware of how much time we spend on idle activities. It must not be nice to understand how we dissipate precious and limited time when we put our heads on the pillow in the evenings. When we evaluate the months, years, and all life, we may feel the burden of whatever we want to do but cannot do. Not to regret tomorrow, we desire to take on the reins of our life as soon as possible without being caught up in the sweet wind of distractions and to engage in functional activities. But how will we do that? With the idea of further ​​facilitating my self-control, I developed a technique I called the bean technique, inspired by what James Clear described in his book Atomic Habits. I took two tea plates and put six beans in one. Six beans represent 6 hours of proper use, each for one hour. Throughout the day, for every hour I use for the activities I aim for, I take off a bean from the full plate and put it into the other one that starts empty in the morning. netsentez My goal is to ...

When I was 13-15 years old in the 1970s, I worked as an apprentice of a radio repairman during the summer holidays. I gained a lot there at a young age in understanding life and people. The experiences I have gained, on the one hand, protected me from the worst of life; on the other hand, it led to my personal development. When the customer brought his broken radio for repair, he would assume that he knew the solution as if he had diagnosed the fault. They would say, "It works, but it doesn't make a sound! The wire is broken; there is a soldering job!" When we came across such explanations, we wouldn't have questioned why they hadn't fix it themselves since they knew the fault. If we told them to show us the broken cable, they couldn't show it.  I was used to these kinds of diagnoses and treatments since I often heard about them. I didn't use to listen to them much. In such cases, taking in my hand the screwdriver, the side cutter, the avom...

Years do not bring things by themselves. We make good and bad contributions to them. Whatever we plant, we reap at the end of the year. We all hope to get rid of the Covid-19 scourge in 2021. All over the world, as people pray, experts are passionately working day and night to develop effective vaccines. I hope vaccines will be useful and humanity will get rid of this trouble. May God have mercy in the hereafter on those who died and heal the sick. Let him give a good life to the living. My mom and dad used to say that if everyone kept the front of their house clean, the whole neighborhood would be in order. When I was a kid, I would sweep the front of the radio repair shop where I worked as an apprentice during the summer holidays. Other apprentices from different shops would do the same. But in the 70s, there was a magic word in our language called "progress." My childhood friends would want to take responsibility and duty for the developmen...
