The Missing Piece for True Confidence in English


 You may have been striving to refine your English for a long time now – mastering complex vocabulary, navigating nuanced conversations, and working hard to be able to express yourself with clarity and confidence. But for quantum leaps forward, have you considered the role of stopping and looking more deeply?

In this week's video, we delve into the essential role of contemplation for English language development. We'll explore how taking the time to reflect, to truly understand ourselves and the world around us, can generate significant benefits for both our personal and professional lives, and dramatically enhance our ability to express ourselves in English.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll discover:

馃數 Increased self-awareness: by taking time to contemplate, we gain a deeper understanding of our strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. This clarity translates into increased confidence to use English in any situation

馃數 Enhanced emotional intelligence: contemplation equips us with the tools to navigate difficult situations more skillfully. We develop compassion and understanding for ourselves and others, leading to calmer communication and better decision-making

馃數 Increased focus & mental stamina: when your mind is less cluttered with anxieties, you have more space and energy for natural and enjoyable English language acquisition

Remember that developing your English skills is not just about learning new vocabulary or mastering grammar. It's about expanding your horizons, deepening connections, and expressing yourselves with clarity and confidence. Let's experience the power of contemplation in our language journey

Discover the Benefits of Joining a Book Club in English

  The CET Book Club is starting soon! And what could be a better way of starting a Book Club in English -  for speakers of other languages at intermediate (B1) level or above -  than by reading the transformational gem,  The Art of Communicating , by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, live on zoom together? Very often, students and clients report that although they understand it very well, they feel stuck, anxious or unable to communicate in English satisfactorily, leading to a strong sense of loss of opportunity in their professional contexts. Part of the reason for this might be what I refer to as  undernourished English , that is, insufficient exposure to English through reading and listening.  The CET Book Club in English will address this directly by offering you the opportunity to develop your English language skills through the option of reading the corresponding chapter first, and then by following the transcript as you listen to one of us reading it out loud live during our weekly me

The MBA and the Eight Worldly Winds

  I completed the Inner MBA over the weekend!  Well done, me! ⭐️ But wait! Don't go. Before clicking "Like" and moving on, read about how earning this Certificate is interconnected with The Eight Worldly Winds . What are The Eight Worldly Winds? According to Buddhist teachings, our human nature necessarily means that we will all experience, at one time or another, being " blown about " (that's deeply affected in the moment) by the Eight Worldly Winds (or Conditions): gain and loss status and disgrace (or success and failure) praise and censure (or praise and blame) pleasure and pain This is great news when the Winds brings gain, status/success, praise and pleasure, but not so good when they carry loss, disgrace/failure, censure/blame, or pain. We all try to find ways of reducing our distress when the winds of the world bring devastating storms of suffering to our doorstep. It is our natural instinct to protect ourselves from the pain of the four (unpleasant

La meditaci贸n - preguntas y respuestas

Image
La intenci贸n es que este blog sea el producto de una colaboraci贸n entre ustedes y yo – nosotros J - por lo que se me ocurren 5 preguntas que podr铆an surgir en relaci贸n a la pr谩ctica y a mi, la autora, las cuales tratar茅 de contestar lo mejor que pueda, pero adem谩s me encantar铆a que en los comentarios agregues tus preguntas, e igualmente, tratar茅 de contestarlas, y si quieres agregar algo o expresar alguna idea adicional, por favor hazlo: te escucho J ¿C贸mo funciona y para qu茅 sirve la meditaci贸n? Bueno, es importante aclarar que aunque hayan muchos beneficios, los practicantes no meditamos con ese fin, o sea que al sentarnos no hay una meta por alcanzar, sino que nos sentamos porque disfrutamos de hacerlo. Simple y sencillamente, meditamos porque nos gusta. Lo cual no significa que no resulten importantes beneficios . Al contrario, la pr谩ctica de la meditaci贸n es transformadora , y los cambios que produce son m煤ltiples y de gran profundidad - cient铆ficamente compr
