Why Time Matters and How We’re Getting It Wrong
Our lives seem to be ruled by the clock. We plan around it, rush to meet it, and often wish we could find more of it. We’re governed by what the Greeks referred to as “Cronos” time, the linear, chronological ticking away of seconds, minutes, and hours. This perception of time is fundamental to our daily routines and societal norms, but it’s also limiting. It brings about stress, anxiety, and a feeling of constant rush. But here’s a game-changer: there’s another way to relate to time, one that can not only enrich your present but also pave the way for a better future.
A Different Kind of Time: Meet Kairos
The Greeks had another concept of time called “Kairos,” which signifies the “right, opportune moment.” Unlike Cronos, Kairos is about qualitative time, a period where everything aligns perfectly. Imagine being lost in an activity to the point where you lose track of time, or a conversation that feels so right that you wish it would never end. That’s Kairos, a moment where everything just feels right.
The Wonder of Vivencia
In the world of Biodanza, we have an amazing term that captures the essence of Kairos: “Vivencia.” It’s a Spanish term that loosely translates to “lived experience.” Vivencia is about experiencing life intensely in the here and now. It’s not just about going through the motions but feeling every motion go through you. You feel alive, connected, and completely present. You dance, you breathe, you live each moment fully.
Vivencia’s Magic: Why It’s So Powerful
What sets Vivencia apart is its transformative potential. These experiences carve new neural pathways, offering us fresh perspectives and adaptable responses to life’s challenges. They help us cultivate emotional intelligence, increase stress resilience, and promote a sense of interconnectedness. It’s not merely about existing but thriving. When you’ve tasted this heightened state of being, you become better equipped to navigate whatever comes your way.
But How Does This Prepare Us for the Future?
You might wonder how living so intensely in the present can have any bearing on your future. The beauty lies in the learning that comes from each Vivencia. You acquire a toolkit of emotional and cognitive responses that are far richer and varied than what you had before. You become adaptable, resilient, and in touch with both yourself and the world around you. This newfound understanding doesn’t just fade away; it’s an investment in your future well-being and adaptability.
