Blessed by sunshine and good vibes, our yoga retreat at Bagno Vignoni was amazing!
Light yoga with meditation to start the day, relaxing in the warm thermal pools later on under the Tuscan sun…Massages, Reiki, Clairvoyance, Health Coaching Sessions and Water Destress were on the menu as well, in addition to a wonderful walk in the stunning nature to reach the natural thermal pool in middle of the wilderness.
Long talks, quiet mornings, relaxing evenings, swimming under the stars, surrendering to the art of letting go… The days went by, recharging us with positive, warming and productive energy.
Next year, in May, we’ll do it all over again!
Book your spot early, join us and enjoy the benefits that nature has to offer you!
Love yourself, life is too short!
A strange word called Love!
It maybe one of the only words with many meanings and interpretations…It is a strange word, by how many feelings it creates, how many dreams it builds, how many promises it involves, and how many realities it might break.
Love is honesty, trust, genuine gestures…Love is freedom, silence, understanding…Love is support, simple connection, smooth conversations…Love is passion, lust, wild crazy moments…Love is all those and even much more, but one thing for sure, Love is to be cherished and taken care of every single day, never taken for granted…
We feel it, we create it, and we manifest it in different ways. What is Love after all? Is it an illusion of the mind? Or is it a manifestation of the heart? Some say, it has to hurt to be authentic, it has a big chance of dying if we get married. Others say, it can be eternal, it can be reborn…We might fall in Love because we need security, or because we need a companion, or do we Love because we have so many emotions that we want to share, to give, without even waiting for anything in return…
Do we all feel Love the same way? Do we expect the same things from Love? Do we believe in Love with the same intensity? Is there such a thing as The Love of My Life? Or we can experience more than One through out our life, and still define it as The One every time, believing that this time this is it! Until proven right, or deceived again…Can Love change us into what the other person wants us to be? Should it change us? Or help us be a better version of what we already are? Have you ever asked yourself, do my partner love me for who I am? Or he loves how I make him feel when I’m around?
We might have different answers for all these questions, but…Love should shape you to be at your best, not break you and make you forget yourself! Love should lift your soul up, not leave you miserable with the fear of not being enough! Love must make you see and feel things within you, that you never knew they existed, not make you compromise on being you just to have some peace and quiet! Love has to make you walk side by side, never make you the leader nor the follower! Love is at its best, when simply you become One!
Keep celebrating Love every day…It’s everywhere, so many beings, souls and living creatures to be loved, don’t wait to have a partner to feel it! Love Yourself, the Universe, the Sun, the Moon, the Stars...Love Life, Children, Animals, Nature…Just Love, and give Love endlessly…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
It is amazing how life surprises us with unexpected circumstances, or expected and feared situations! Like a black cloud trying to hide a beautiful sunset!
It is even more amazing when we decide to dare and defy those circumstances, believing that with the right approach, we can make our own changes, in a unique way though that will lead to our self realization! Empowered with faith boiling in our veins, high self confidence vibrating within us, full trust strengthening our beliefs that tomorrow is going to lead us further towards the light of our hopes and dreams, a heart filled with love and support from our soul, a mind set in one positive direction, stubborn enough to lead the way, and loving arms warm enough to hold us tightly and say, it’s going to be okay!!
Some may find these words too idealistic, easier said than done, and probably hard to reach and achieve! Maybe!
Maybe it is impossible to stand in the face of our fate, when it is drawn for us with other people’s brushes and colors! But what about us? What about the way we would like to paint our life? Should we surrender and let them do it for us? Or should we rebel and stand in their faces no matter how hard the road might get?!
Then again, how would we know that it is impossible unless we give it a try?! Try to impose the change that we wish to, try to find hidden opportunities at every corner, try to dig deep and search for alternatives, try to stand up straight and face that storm with a big smile, shining bright eyes, screaming loud enough from the top of our lungs for the whole world to hear us, and say “I won’t let circumstances bring me down, I will rise and be at the right place where I deserve to be, I will be me, I will be happy, I will be free!”
How long that word is, not in the number of letters it has, but in the number of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years that we have to wait to get where we want to. Sometimes the wait is due to obstacles blocking our way, and some other times, it is due to individuals leading us to dead ends. How can we wait patiently, how can we wait without giving up, how can we wait without loosing hope, and how can we wait while still living?!
They say that everyone has his own journey, his own destiny, and that everyone is fighting a battle somewhere, somehow. So is it all about surrender or fight?
Why would you fight a battle if you believe that your destiny is prewritten for you? Wouldn’t the result be the same? Isn’t the name of the winner of that battle written somewhere, and the end result is inevitable? So why would you waste time and energy fighting, instead of completely surrendering and watching your destiny unfolding in front of your eyes?!
But, what if you don’t believe in prewritten scenarios, and you want to write your own life, using your own words, drawing your own lines, refusing the surrender, would that take you away from God? Would that make you the black sheep in your community?
What if the story that you want to write will not suit your surrounding, would that make you selfish? Would that make you irresponsible?
What if the change that you want to make takes a lot of time, would you be able to give it all you got? Would you be able to wait patiently?
What if you choose patience at its best form, and you decide that every single day will start with a grateful smile, and every single day will be a new start. While waiting, you keep reminding yourself that today is full of hope and tomorrow, you will be one step closer to your dream.
Dreams can come true, miracles do happen, you just have to believe from within you and trust, that you will get to wherever you want to…just be patient!
How many times were you scared of what might come up, without any valid reason?
How many moments of your life were wasted over a worry, that turned out to be just an illusion you created for yourself?
Fast heart beats, cold sweats, stomach cramps, and vivid scenarios start going through our mind…Until “Fear” takes over, and we start living today, where we are scared to live in the future! We ignore our present and dwell in this strong moment of fear, watching with our imaginative visions, the world collapsing in front of us! We impose the worst outcome to our mind, and by doing so, we give it the strongest weapon to fight any possible positive ray of light that might save us from where we drowned ourselves in…It’s really interesting how our mind can take us places, how it can throw us in the open arms of the Unknown! Suddenly we find ourselves in the middle of a self-tailored situation, that has no promises in the horizon. We are scared, lost, weak, overwhelmed by emotional and physical pain…That’s it, the worst will happen, you can see it coming, you can feel it to the point that you are living it!!
But why? Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we seek dramatic visions? Why do we let our fear set in and create its own atmosphere? Why can’t we learn to live today what we know, instead of living in the Unknown of tomorrow? How hard is it to ignore the bad scenarios, the worst thoughts, the unexplainable fears? How challenging is it to control our mind? That powerful mind!
How about we learn to value our present moment, and live it, consciously to the max. Being aware of what might come up, but being in control of how to feel about it right now. Getting ready to face the worst of tomorrow, but yet, staying calm enough to enjoy today.
Who knows what tomorrow holds? Who knows if there will be tomorrow? But one thing for sure, I am here now, breathing, living, enjoying every moment of my present day, it’s the gift that I was given when I opened my eyes this morning, I’m going to love it, and make good use of it!
As for the Unknown, I will not let the fear of it, take away my present moments…
What about you? Are you scared of the Unknown?
How do you face your fears? How do you let go? What’s your story?
Finally, all is set to launch a new website, start a new career, and emerge in a new beginning…
Aren’t we all afraid of new starts? Don’t we all ask ourselves, if we have what it takes to make the next move?
We try to find excuses not to do it, and if we can’t find any, we might create some, just to postpone that step little longer. We keep saying: “What if it doesn’t work? What if I fail? What if I’m not up to it? What if… What if… What if…”
Stop! Try to think about it differently! What if you have all that it takes but you just can’t see it.? What if you’re being too judgmental and harsh to yourself? What if your dream is about to come true?
We all need to remind ourselves that at every corner there are numerous opportunities, with every opportunity there are different choices, and every choice we make will lead us to a new path.. A path that might challenge our capacities or defy our strength, a path that might change our perception or lead us to a new dimension, a path that might wake up our senses or trigger our consciousness… No matter what form it might take, that path is there to shape us and remind us, that eventually, it was reached by our own choices…
No matter where that path might lead you, choose self-realization along the way, make every choice in your life a way to improve and become a better person. Benefit from your success and your failure, take the challenge and move forward, learn how to trust the Universe and its magical potions, believe in your dreams, believe in yourself, believe in the power of the Mind, believe that you are worth it, believe that everything happens for a reason, and that reason will bring out the best in you!
Let’s take that new step with confidence and project all the possible positive thoughts, into blessing our new beginning…
