EXCUSES INTO ACTION

I’ve recently reached 888 days of meditation—thanks to Insight Timer, which helps me track my progress. Initially, tracking didn’t seem important, but now it motivates me to continue. Meditation truly enriches my life, and keeping track is a helpful nudge.

What I’ve learned from this journey is the importance of establishing the right habits to stay consistent and enjoy meditation. These systems keep me on track, and I hope they can help you too:
* ⏱️Scheduled Time: Many teachers recommend morning and evening sessions, and that’s what works best for me, enhancing my sleep and boosting morning optimism. It might be different for everyone, but it’s worth giving a try!
* 📈Skill Level: Don’t worry about being good at meditation. Some days are calm, others are chaotic—and that’s perfectly fine.
* 💪Difficulty: If you’re accustomed to constant activity, learning to relax can feel challenging but is incredibly beneficial for your mind and body.
* 🧘🏻‍♀️Quieting the Mind: Don’t try to force stillness. Instead, explore the spaces between thoughts and enjoy guided meditations—they can be hugely beneficial.
* ☁️Dealing with Distraction: Meditation is also a practice in self-kindness. If you lose focus, simply smile, be gentle with yourself, and try again.
* .
Habits shape our lives, so investing time and energy in building the right ones is worthwhile!”

LIFE IS NOT A BATTLEFIELD! (If you don’t want to)

Life is a mirror - what you put out, you get back! You have the choice to decide the kind of relationship you want to develop with life - that’s the essence of free will.

One thing I can assure you is that when you decide to make friends with life and embrace more self-love, life somehow loves you back. This is one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in my 51 years on this planet! I used to view life as a battlefield, and from that perspective, it was tough, and most of the time, I felt very out of place.

So, how to love life? If you’re not used to it, a good place to start is to develop a more friendly relationship with yourself! And like any other relationship, it gets stronger when you practice:
* Kindness
* Appreciation
* Compassionate self-inquiry
* Embracing challenges as lessons
* Cherishing the small and simple joys of daily life
* Smiling as much as you can
* .
How do you approach life? As a battle or as a friend?

YOGA EYE EXERCISES:

The thing about reading glasses is, they’re cool - well, I like them, and I think we all look smarter with them - but they don’t really address the root cause of poor vision. So, your vision keeps deteriorating.

Last year, I realised I needed glasses for reading small letters, so I decided to try eye exercises. I’ve learned a lot about our amazing eyes! And yes, my eyes feel much better!

These easy exercises have become part of my yoga practice, fit into moments while I’m brewing my tea, or I incorporate habits like palming as a short meditation during the day. It’s all about creativity and interest.

Save these tips—your eyes will thank you!.

MEDITATION OR MINDFULNESS

Choose both for their wonderful and complementary benefits!

Both practices enhance mental well-being, enhanced perception, and presence, allowing us to observe non-judgmentally. They connect us with creative brain states (like Alpha and Theta waves). Both are tools to befriend our mind:

Meditation: Focuses on disconnecting from 'doing,' emphasizing being present and witnessing the mind. It fosters introspection and may lead to expanded states of consciousness or lucid dreaming.

Mindfulness: Cultivates deep presence, engaging actions from a state of being present, being attentive to our relationship with the external world and leading to flow states where the mind is effortlessly receptive yet focused.

Regarding dynamic meditations, while definitions vary, experiences like lucid dreaming may be challenging during active practices like yoga or qigong. Yet, these practices pave the way for deep meditation and expanded consciousness, reminding us we are energy, not just matter.

Join our Sunday sessions for both practices! We start with mindful breath-work and simple physical exercises for presence and mental focusing then moving into guided meditations with soothing bowl sounds. Details the link in bio

“Your mind is like a puppy - you have to train it otherwise it will sh*t everywhere” :P One of the most effective ways to train your mind is meditation.

These tips helped me with my practice. Perhaps some of them are helpful for you, just remember, everyone is unique and not all formulas fit everyone.

By the way, sound is one of the easiest ways to get into meditation - like music without lyrics, or mantras or sound baths!

I host Soundbath meditations on Sundays . Join us!

The best celebration is what makes you happy!. Sometimes it looks like slow down, enjoy a sunset, maybe staying home, a candlelight bath, listening a guided meditation, disconnected from the phone and doing you.

Have a lovely new year’s eve - enjoying it in your way!

After the yoga sessions, and the Soundbath Meditation the energy is quite high, so it is a great moment to ask for guidance.

I think the message is cute appropiated: WOLF MOON, HUNGER. Check the reading. It is a lovely story, about 2 wolfs. Which wold are you feeding? Which wolf do you think we are feeding as humanity?

Have a lovely New Moon evening. Use the energy wisely! As humanity we really need to feed the wolf which gives light, hope and kindness within everybody in this planet!

M O O N • O R A C L E • M E S S A G E,after out sound-bath meditation!

As the energy after the Soundbath Meditation is quite high, it is a great moment to ask for guidance.

I left you the message we got : FEAR as an invitation to tap into courage.

Last full moon we had the same card. Interesting, maybe we are too attached to fear? What do you think?

Have a beautiful New Moon evening. Use the energy wisely!
