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

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

  

Yoga season detox (from cold season to warm)

For 3 days in our family we have done a fast time. Fasting with light centrifuge of veggies and fruit, fresh organic infusion, bouillon of veggies from our garden. This time gone away in silence, meditation, gardening, walk and more has given more complicity, and help us to find new mindfulness and new tastefulness.

At this point I want to say: dont eat to lose weight or to get more weight, but eat to feel better, to take care of us and our loved ones.

Anyone can choose freely what to eat, but sometimes our choice is unaware or even worst when to have a lunch has becomen a routine. 

While reducing food portion for a few days, we understood that fasting (including only fresh juice and bouillon) is awakening our senses again from a state of hibernation, and may be finding our body coordinates, reseting our taste and our mind so to sudden restart with mindfulness our own life.

I would say someone who is all-counscious vegan or even openminded macrobiotic can be epicurean.  I do believe in the possibility to change our food education and habits. At 30 years old for exemple, we have many pieces of food education (including fetal, infantil, childhood and adulthood diets) and we have a food pattern made of some really creative fabrication!  I remember myself at 18 eating almost nothing (low fat yogurt and fruit) which had no sense except to be fashionable and beloved. And after a period of being pissed of food, a new way of eating. In a nutshell, it is possible to shut up emotion chaos and having care of yourself for a few days facing your food pattern while fasting. Objective: reset your senses and feelings about food to genuine taste (infantil taste?) and slowly recognize new taste. In a few words tactics is decrease to increase.

You asked (facebook, twitter @mammayoga and radio) me for fasting:

- what to do when happen some signs on the peel?

I personnally use antisectic cream called Kimuli (biosophia)'made of tea tree oil.

- how to prepare fasting?

Classical ayurvedic remedy called triphala (biosophia or any other) for 15 days before. I drink it with water. It can be used also to prepare deeper cleansing.

- what to do when against headache for fasting?

During first 24 hours headache is normal as if you quit drinking coffee. I personally use umeboshi plum.

- how many times do you fast during a year?

Once upon a time the season were 4... Fasting was done during the fifth season, twice a year when changing from cold to warm season and the opposite. But nowadays I would say once during a period of 3/4 days of cold before a warm period, before summer. And some other times as you feel to do it.

- what to do if fasting bring in mind mental fixations and nightmare?

I would say meditate and dont analyse tour nightmare.

Thanks.

Mariangela Melato e noi

Today after the festivity time, everyone awake, and as the world has not ended yet, I ask you for "and what about us?"

Honestly I wish to take advantage of you sleepiness to tackle my favourite issue.

Erich Froomm used to answer, it is possible. Could we learn to love better?

I believe the first step is learn how to love myself with great love.

Then as with great love all is possible to love each others also when it is uncomfortable.

Yes! Let love and freedom ring from Rome, Milan and everywhere in Italy.

I believe there is not one yoga style better than another but many ways to do yoga.

Some years ago I met Maria Angela Melato, in an open class where I was teaching to yoga students and theater professionists. More than 10 years have gone since I met her, but I wish to remind you of something of her: compactness, she was a "tough lady". I mean she had a straordinary coherence, connection and appeal.

Maria Angela seemed to me an honest person, committed to her professione and perfectly able to express her talent. And I felt something more from her: her compactness (which represents for me the coherence of those who do exactly what they are designed to do) was not only the same value I share with her, but Maria Angela Melato had the beauty of someone who has done a definitive choice, of someone free of conventions, I would say a free spirit.

Anywhere You are, I wish You to be free and peaceful. Ciao Maria.

With gratitude

Oggi dopo questa ondata di festivita' ci siamo risvegliati, il mondo non e' finito...e noi?

Si puo' imparare ad amare?

Fromm sosteneva di si!

Credo si possa imparare ad amare se stessi, anche quando ci sentiamo scomodi, credo che si possa imparare ad amare gli altri!

Si! Io sostengo che ci siano molti modi di fare yoga, il mio yoga anni fa mi porto'a conoscere Mariangela Melato, in quel tempo io collaboravo con alcuni teatri milanesi come assistente alla regia  e yoga trainer per attori.

Incontrai Mariangela durante una lezione aperta a studenti e professionisti, sono trascorsi circa 10 anni da allora, ma cio' che ricordo con estrema chiarezza fu la "compattezza" di questa signora. Quando parlo di compattezza io intendo coerenza, connessione, fascino.

Mariangela mi apparve come una donna integra, devota alla sua passione di vita, al suo talento...percepii qualcosa in piu'...questa compattezza che per me rispecchia coloro che attraverso il proprio talento danno senso alla propria vita, sono determinati nelle loro scelte, rispettano se stessi e non abbandonano "il campo" difronte lle incoerenze altrui, ai giudizi falsati, alle frustrazioni terrene di altri.

Per me Mariangela Melato aveva la bellezza di chi sceglie, di chi si libera dalle convenzioni. Mi piace salutarla oggi con un augurio: 

" ovunque tu sia...che tu sia in pace e liberta'.."

Con gratitudine

Benedetta
