A summer full of energy

Hello friends and yogis!

Here I am after a break, I want to share with you that I have a lot of plans for the summer. I am full of positive energy, because I am learning new skills and I am pushing myself a bit out of my comfort zone. It is scary, but also exciting! I work hard to prepare a surprise for you, so, stay tuned…

I take also the opportunity of the nice holidays in Italy to practice my daily yoga routine and meditation outside in nature. What a bliss…I enjoy every single bit of it. I have to say that it is a bit easier to practice yoga in nature than meditation, because the mind is easily distracted by a fly or an ant.

To finish this post, I want to express my deep gratitude for the wonderful persons in my life: every day is filled with joy, because my friends and family are there with me, sharing unforgettable moments. So, this post is for you (I do not need to mention the names..they know:). Lots of love,

Chiara

The path to independence

The last weeks have being challenging for me. I had very beautiful holidays, where I gave myself a break that I probably needed, but now, back to the every day reality, everything seems less smooth than before. I noticed that the mind and the energy that we have are directly connected to the food we eat. It is not a new discovery, of course, but I noticed this on my own body, stronger than before. It is linked to sugar. In July last year, I stopped eating any form of sugar and gluten, white wheat, honey, dates etc. At the beginning it was difficult, as sugar is highly addictive, but then I got used to it and my health dramatically improved. I was healthy already before that, but my energy was much lower. During the Easter holidays, I gave myself a break from this way of eating, and now I feel again that my mind is less clear than before, the energy very low. Everything around me changes, when my mind is full of garbage, of course we know that from the Masterkey course. Control your mind and you control your universe, but if the mind is polluted with parasite thoughts, then it is much more difficult to control it. On the contrary, you are controlled, going back to addictions, like the sugar one. So, I know now more than ever that the path of independence is linked not only to my mind and my thoughts, but also to my eating habits as body and mind are related.

Back on track, then! May the force be with me and you, dear reader 😉

I will be happy for your comments, but I have a new mantra that will lead me to gain more independence and it is the following « I am completely independent from positive and negative opinions of others »:) So, I will not take anything personal… For more explanations on affirmations, like the one above, listen to the video of one of my trainers, Binnie A Dansby, a truly inspiring woman.

Have a great day!

Developments Weeks 23 and 24

I took a bit of time before writing this blog post: I got new developments in my life that I had to digest first. It has been a very intense period and I feel a bit like in spring: new beginnings are there for me, my life is ready to flourish again!

Therefore, I want to share with you a video that caught my attention (of course, I bumped on it « by chance »:). This video is a bit long, but worth your time. It is about a theme that is really close to my heart: autonomy. How to be completely independent from good and bad opinion of others. For me, it is very empowering. I want my power back! I am not interested into opinions (they come from the filter or Ego of the person expressing them) and certainly I would like to remove any undue influence from other people on my life. I am becoming a self directed thinker, are you, too? How much do you care of opinions of others (especially the close ones like your mother, father, son, partner , friends etc)? This is a really important question, if we start meditating on it. We all think to be independent and yet, when we go deeper, we may discover how much we care to be accepted and to please others, in taking our decisions. It is a process. Be careful! I am on my way toward true independence.

Play and be independent! Week 22A

Wow! What an intense period!I realize that I go up and down all the time, emotionally. Not living a boring life, for sure:) The last week end I went to a yoga retreat, which became one of my good habits. It is always a moment for me to relax and to recharge the spiritual battery. There was silence, meditation, hatha yoga, healthy food and chanting. As usual, it was a blissful experience, in good company of like minded people. I was surprised by the joy and laughter of the yogis around me: probably the nice weather helped our mood, but there was much more. It was the joy of being together. I found myself playing as a child: I wanted to try the tabla (an indian percussion), the tampura (another classic indian instrument) and the result was very funny. Another unexpected playful moment was the Acro yoga: we went on the terrace and, in front of a beautiful lake, we started practicing this yogic playful technique. I found 2 yogis ready to do the « basis » to let me fly. If you are not familiar with this, I put here a picture of me, in that crucial moment.

In this practice, balance, strenght and trust are needed, and I loved the experience. I want more fun and even more yoga in my life!I want to keep playing:)

The surroundings and the nature of the place were absolutely gorgeous, we even went to a tiny boat on the lake, for a small adventure.

During the retreat, I made a pledge to myself: I want to be completely independent from positive and negative opinions of others.So now, I keep repeating this affirmation, to have it more wired in my consciousness. I feel that this is the good direction for me, thanks to the Masterkey course that made me realise that.

I wish you all an happy and playful life!

Anger and fear Week 22

In this moment of the Masterkey experience we are invited to see anger and fear as tools for expanding our confort zone. I meditated on that. I still meditate on that, as I did not have any clear answer so far. I have questions, yes. I know that anger and fear are moving massive energy in ourselves and that we can direct that energy towards our goal, our DMP, our dharma. I am not entirely convinced, though. This week, I was reading a book from Katie Byron: she points out that we can live a life free of anger and fear, if we investigate our stressful thoughts and we free ourselves from them. Hence, I am confused. In my heart, I would love to be free of them. My deepest desire is to become calm and free. I am not yet there. I know that there are a lot of stressful thoughts and believes in my mind that can trigger reactions of anger. Often, I also realise that anger is more directed toward myself, than the other person I think I am crossed with…Also, I noticed that under anger, I can often find fear. I want to go deeper and find my way to cope with that, but I am not yet there. Sometimes, I think that I have still a huge work to do on myself, that almost I feel discouraged, even before starting…Fear is also often paralysing me to the extent that I sabotage myself, my plans. Then I feel discontent with me. Not a nice circle. I know also that no one can make it alone, but I have moments, where I truly feel alone in all this work to improve myself. It would be nice if everyone could start working on its believes and thoughts, but I know that I cannot influence that. It is a personal decision, coming from a certain level of awareness. I am doing my part, are you doing yours? 🙂

I finish with a video on scroll 6 from Og Mandino’s book « The greatest salesman in the world », where there there is a precious recipe to overcome our emotions. I treasure this scroll so much. Enjoy!
