For my first Vitalita article of 2020 I chose a blessing: an act of conscious appreciation for all the human and natural resources that I have as a step in my own personal development, to share with you.

As a trainer of personal development with a holistic perspective it is my obligation to my students from time to time to step back from the details and to create a fresh picture of what the human being is from that perspective. Can a being have perspective upon itself? It is a good question.

My last article in Vitalita has been rather poetical. This one is primarily philosophical and ethical in nature, exploring two incompatible approaches to understanding human life: Causality and Teleology.

The struggle for freedom has many fronts. From times immemorial human being have been fighting for freedom from outer suppression, from domination from others, from slavery, from discrimination, from being ruled by other classes, from inferior rights, from segregation, from the domination of the new world from its European colonial masters, from the domination of women by men, freedom from poverty, from ignorance, from hunger. This struggle continues today in many places and we do not see an end in sight: Hong Kong against Mainland China, Rohingya people against the Myanmar government, Amazonian people against the Brazilian government, the Kurdish people against the government of four countries, economic migrants everywhere against border restrictions.

WE CAN ENHANCE OUR IMMUNITY - I wish to contribute a note of hope, encouragement and personal empowerment Into the general discourse today in the face of the panic, chaos, paralysis, powerlessness and growing state controls, caused by the spreading of the coronavirus pandemic: each one of us can make oneself more resilient in the face of this danger by directly enhancing the power of one’s own immunity.

As the covid 19 pandemic is gripping human civilization worldwide speculations about its deep cause abound. A whole plethora of scientific, semi-scientific and anti-scientific theories circulate, none of them seems to help in stopping the pandemic and its causes. Millions are being vaccinated everyday but no one knows for sure the effectiveness of this one solution against this ever-mutating virus. Effective remedies are still being explored, while the world's economical, social, cultural and educational life are catastrophically disrupted and destroyed. Uncertainty is the only certainty worldwide.

In another previous article ‘The Three Sacrifices’ I outlined the possible transforming of thinking, feeling and willing into the empathic perceptive powers of Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition. In the part focusing on the transformation of the will into intuitive perception, I gave the example of transforming defensive reaction into intuitive perception of another person, instead of reacting to his/her reaction to you.

The idea of coaching and the idea of deep psychological transformation are usually a contradiction: coaching is considered by-and-large to be a short term intervention for improving performance in some field of life or work, intended for very functional people who want to be more successful; on the other hand the psychological intervention required for deep transformation is normally called psychotherapy: it is assumed to be long term, often open-ended therapeutic process, intended for people who are troubled in some area of their life, and creating deep relationship between practitioner and client. These popular notions are hard to change, even though many coaches intend to go deep and many psychotherapists intend to improve performance in a relatively short term.

In the previous two articles about ‘Chakras of Empathy’ I described the role of the further development of the Throat Centre as the foundation of Imaginative Perception and the role of the further development of the Heart Centre as the foundation of ‘Inspirative Perception’. This article is focused on the further development of the Solar Plexus centre as the foundation of ‘Intuitive Perception’
