The Joy of Caring

Caring is much more than attending in illness and pain. Caring is loving, appreciating, listening, accepting, feeling, being present, embracing, understanding, sharing, accompanying, healing, co-creating … Caring is giving out of joy.

This book explores how we can make our relationships a genuine flow from me to you and between us, releasing masks, guilt and defensive attitudes that separate and exhaust us. It proposes practices to enable us to develop as creative, autonomous and emotionally mature people. To strengthen us and help us live in a more constructive and sociable way. To stop crushing ourselves and let go of the inner dialogue which is desperate and useless. With her concise and pleasant style, Miriam Subirana looks at the wisdom of caring, ranging from the wise masters of antiquity to our times. Splashing the text with didactic examples, The Joy of Caring accompanies us in all kinds of care: mind, body, heart and spirit; emphasizing the importance of living compassion and a contemplative attitude, so that we can enjoy all the potential we harbor.

Beyond relationships of Dependence.

Our relationships are unsatisfactory. They are conditioned by cultural, social and historical factors, which lead us to an inner emptiness. Through centuries of patriartical leadership and feminine dependence we have arrived at the present situation… one of deep unsatisfaction.

The neediness of so many women and the present day situation of lack of true encounter between men and women, has led the author to question,to observe and to suggest new solutions to our present challenges. We need to learn to relate to each other without hurting ourselves, to love each other without attaching one to another, to be accomplices respectful of our identities and freedom, to experience unity in diversity.

Live in freedom

Reflections on Limits, Dreams and the Essential
Synopsis

To live in freedom is to embrace life, let go of the reins and know how to use them and achieve your goals. You do not live at the mercy of others. You choose each step, according to what you decide. You know what you want and you are aware of your decisions. A free being is the one who recognises their potential, cares for it, nourishes it, uses it and expresses it. It is an awakened being.

To live in freedom you need the power of concentration, which allows you to distance yourself from what is useless, and the power of determination, in order to bring about what you long for. You need to respect yourself, respect others and your surroundings. We have to know ourselves better, question our beliefs, clean out the store cupboard of the memories that keep us anchored to the past and overcome fears, which put a brake on and block our immense creative energy.

This book offers different ideas, questions and reflections so that you might embrace life, change and uncertainty. For you to live in enjoyment, laugh, accept, confront, love and share. For you to let go of the baggage that you do not need.

Miriam Subirana is a Doctor in Fine Arts, University of Barcelona. She coordinates programmes, projects, seminars and retreats, whose objective is to re-find and live one’s identity and enjoy a fuller life.

Dare to live

Reflections on Fear, courage and Wholeness.

Living without fears and living with wholeness increases our quality of life and makes us happier. Because fear puts a brake on you, it does not allow your energy to flow and it weakens your wellbeing and health in general. What is more, fear impedes the capacity to reason with freedom, to discern between possible paths or begin other clear and new one. Deciding under the influence of fear does not usually lead to wholeness, nor to the clarity of ideas, transparency or light.

To strengthen yourself you have to free yourself of some weaknesses and complexes and, above all, stop comparing yourself to others. However, accepting yourself strengthens your qualities and helps you to be yourself.

Free yourself of the influences that extinguish you, those that diminish your capacity to love, shine, feel free and at peace. They are external influences, but they can also arise from within you like those registers of your past or your habits, or your beliefs and your way of thinking.

To live in wholeness is to be in a state in which the self shines, you are yourself and you dare to present yourself to the world with your singularities, your qualities and your differences. Your energy flows creatively, without blockages or fears.

Know yourself, heal the wounds that keep the pain retained in you and let it go in order to live better.

If your behaviour is motivated by love, gratitude, peace or co-operation, you generate an energy that attracts the positive and awakens enthusiasm and hope because you are freeing yourself from the paralysis that fear causes and you begin to be yourself; your creativity flows and you feel strong in order to accept, face up to things and change.

You can enjoy wholeness in this present moment. Don’t waste even an instant!
