Good food for mindfulness in Antibes for summer events 2015

The book of Mahiya Zoé Matthews includes the words I was looking for. After a year, working with macrobiotic cooks, authors and speakers, I was seriously thinking about the what is there after macrobiotics?! I got the best from Ohsawa, and its followers, some new generation authors I was daily using the books, but something was missing to me in order to explain how to eat. So I red further more! And Philippe Sionneau with tao explaination about how to cook were enlightening. Then I decided to meet one of this master called Carlo Guglielmo, nearby Torino wgere he found a macrobiotic food company and helped hundreds of people with TCM. Since then, I applicate in my alimentation the 5 transformations cycle and pray before eating. The what was clear to me, and I finally found the How to eat in this Ananda's work. The title of the book was clear : soul full eating. Eating was an action to change the world and my individual and the soul was the motor. The full use of my soul was the condition to make eating a prayer, a mantra or a meditation. Sometimes in my life I met people successing in make a great plate for my soul, silently and personally felt good, but these happy few were in trouble to explain me how to proceed. In a nutshell, the best part of the book is while including prayer, meditation, friendship, mindfulness, engagement. Eating, cooking are the same doing as they say. While Eating/Fasting and Digesting, our inner strenght and character determine our ability to be a peaceful person at home and in the world. Like a training focused on yama practice. I recently called this practice with Mindfulness words instead of yoga words. I include into my evening vinyasa therapy yoga classes, 30 minutes of mindful practice to prepare to diner. With my husband we have done some meetings (called M-eatings) called "Good Nutrition, Good emotions and mindful life can change our life!" because 

Tenderness is: preparing ourself to eat good (holy and yummy)

Last minute yoga in Milan May : Vinyasa Padmayoga

Book now your yoga class in milan

Italian yoga book tour summer 2015 with Benedetta Spada and Yogadinamico 2015

- Milan the 20th of June 2015 in libreria Esoterica @6 pm

  

First Yoga meditation inside international airport was done by An italian yoga teacher

After the first experience in San Francisco airport, Venice airport has gone all out for realizing the first live morning yoga sessions in an international airport. The event will consist of having a yoga teacher at your beck and call for a guided 15 minutes mindfulness session insisting on anti panic technics and some exercises against travel stress. Benedetta Spada, an experienced yoga teacher from Milan who has spoken to hundreds of persons as a motivational speaker, and also wrote a book about this, she is the one choosen to bring travelers of the day 4th of April 2014 to relax. She says " Venice airport 15 minutes yoga sessions is the major experiment in the world of free guided wellness as a service to passengers. As I wrote in Yoga in viaggio my last book, travelers need better general conditions on the one hand VIP lounge less overcrowded and public areas less stereotyped but on the other hand more silent in open spaces and valuable experiences to do self relaxation instead of only paid wellness experiences."

Save the children, save the queen or simply practice yoga and love to change your life?!

At home my father often quotes Adorno, Jung  but I found in Dostoyevsky the light about my Love focus of the day. I wrote "l'unico inferno è l'incapacità di amare", that I freely translate by the english words "Hell on earth is the incapability to love!". I believe that before to speak about Save the earth, the children or the whole humanity, one need some more love, the world needs spirituality! And this focus, begins now with you and me, choosing life, choosing to involve ourself in goodness, fairness, truth for truth, consistency... I love english language because it does not allow to interpretation like italian language. CONSISTENCY is my political programme. I guess I wrote too much  words, although I wanted to mean love, to mean respect. Life is a gift so what do you wait to put ourself on the job!

Free yoga class with Benedetta Spada in Milan for sun Eclipse 2015 and Spring celebration

Yoga Festival, in partnership with City of Milan, asked for Benedetta Spada to lead a meditation and sun salutation serie during the celebration of the sun eclipse. At the same time hundreds of partecipants have greeted the italian early spring.

I have been asked to partecipate (as a teacher) to Eclipse and spring 2015 celebrations with all Yoga festival friends, yoga students, and citizens connected in less than 48 hours to this event. The idea was so great I decided to change my plans of the weekend and serve the Holy spirit and my City. So we had an appointment in a city park nearby Planetario at 10 a.m. all together, the sky was cloudy but the faces of the people were shining. I guess people arrived in vespa, bicycle, train and car. Yoga mats everywhere by the tiny streets, yoga mats opened silently during more than an hour and lets practice a few Sun salutations and some more.

Why did I partecipate in? For a sense of yoga community, to make me well being, finally because I had something to say to these people. Shadow and light are the same. It is not true to think one is better than another. They are the two faces of a medal, separated and complementary. Put together our Light and our shadow is yoga. The way to do it is simple as repeating the phrase "even if me (say your name) I have my pains, my shadows, I decide now to be alive, I choose life and Light." Accepting these two parts and this union is yoga. The World need renaissance, need a guided wellness opportunity, need positive characters by the street.
