Sculpted bodies…

Yoga has been slowly going through  “westernalization”  within the last 100 years , but recently we see more and more of it.  Just few years ago, when people heard “yoga” they automatically envisioned meditating monks and pretzel-like bodies. And today, we can find a yoga studio almost on every other block in any city. It is becoming very popular. Why? Is it because all these celebrities flaunting their well sculpted booties and we want the same??

inner voice....part two: Security

What would you say if I asked you: What makes you feel more secure?

inner dialog... r u going crazy?

Have you ever watched your own inner voice conversing with you? Take a moment and think of what is usually going on inside of your head. Your mind is constantly processing some kind of inner dialog….

“ I should go get mail from the mail box before the rain starts. Ooops, it is already raining; so, I should wait., I should check my emails now. What time is it? The dinner is at 6. I better take

TV Detox. Day 7.

Power of Nature is incredible. It can easily destroy us, and equally easily, it can heal us. After a couple of days in the jungle of the wild Costa Rica, I felt like my physical body contour was fading away and I was becoming one with the wind, water and sun. My mind was clear and I felt calm and happy.

Sunset and sunrise yoga practices were magically transforming me into a well balanced being, giving me the sensation of joy and moving me deeper into the center of my soul. I felt like nothing could take me out of balance.  I DO NOT want any TV noise or any kind of fabricated noise for that matter! Nothing but the monkey screams and ocean sound. Wow! What happened to me? How quickly I forgot my buddies from the dear-near-to my heart TV shows!

TV Detox. Day 1

Letter from distant camping ground of Costa Rica:

So, here I am, arrived in Costa Rica for my 7 day yoga retreat. For the person like me, who is accustomed to the great accommodations, exclusive cuisine, and car services, this will be “SOMETHING” to live through.. ;-)

TV Detox:

No TV. Day 1…

I think about TV at least once every 5 minutes, or even 2 minutes, to be frank. I just want to see those faces that became the “people of my living room” for many years now. We have dinners together, vacuum the carpet, clean the kitchen floors, have tea, take naps… we do everything together. I miss you my virtual family!

So, what’s on TV , tonight , people? I am sad,…

Going to bed now, and who knows, I may write  next best movie plot... in my head.

Oh, boy, I had no idea I was hooked on on TV so much.

Oh, yes : check out my shower. It is  private, but it is an outside shower attached to my eco friendly cabin!

And here is the view from the cabin…. Somehow I think you all are giggling now..

holidays...

I’m tired of jingle bells, mass texts and candy canes

And all the happy Christmas songs are driving me insane

… Turkey's burned - your uncle's drunk

Your second cousin's spouting junk

Bragging about some stupid crap

I hate holidays

I hate holidays

I hate holidays

Iron....

I cannot imagine someone will not want to know this:…

Iron is a mineral that is important to all body cells. Blood cells especially need iron to make hemoglobin. The hemoglobin in blood cells brings oxygen to the body cells. You can get iron deficiency anemia if your diet does not have enough iron.. This means that your blood has less hemoglobin than normal.

People who have iron deficiency anemia are often tired and don’t have much energy overall.

Iron deficiency anemia may result from:

Good God, this is a GOOD breakfast

Too much anxiety, too much sadness on TV lately. I am looking for some comfort food that will not kill my waist line!

I like the taste of Coconut Oil. I love the smell of it! So, what is Coconut oil?

I use it in my hot cereal. For example, this breakfast dish has the following ingredients:

1.       Organic Oatmeal, golden raisins, chia and flax seed, shredded coconut and coconut oil.

This is very tasty! So, let’s look at the facts:

Beets - wouldn't you know it...

Long time no seen! You probably thought I forgot about you; no, my dear health-thirsty little monsters, I stay on the top of things, for our own sake, even during my busy schedules of travel and school…

I am back with good news. You can make a delicious dinner tonight that will be tickling your taste buds and at the same time will nurture your body with lots of health benefits.

We will make a “Baked kaleidoscope of colors” !

Five Super Foods in One Easy to make Salad

Travel, work, school, etc, etc….. all that busy life just gives me another reason to go for  the food that nourishes my body. Every bite is a blessing. ;-)

This is my favorite salad. We are so lucky to be able to buy radishes at this time of the year (they are actually in season only early May and June in the parts of the country with the traditional 4 seasons..)

…very quickly about the benefits of the food I am suggesting for your table:
