“New Age” Neti

Francesca Silva

Now that I’ve become a self-proclaimed enthusiastic expert in using my Neti Pot, I’ve been on the lookout for someone to share this great experience with.

And – all joking aside – it really is a great experience. I don’t even think twice about going through the process every night, now that it’s become part of my ritual. I’m convinced that Neti has helped alleviate my headaches, lower my high eye pressure, and enabled me to sleep better at night. (more…)

New Year’s Revolution

Francesca Silva

walking-together.jpgHappy new year, everyone! I can hardly believe another year has flown by and we’re now in 2010! This means it’s time to make another New Year’s resolution and then see how long it’ll take me to break it…

No, actually, this year I’m determined (just like I was last year…and the year before…and the year before that…but I digress, as usual) to follow through on my New Year’s Resolution. (more…)

Waking up to the BLUE MOON

Christina Souza Ma

blue-moon.jpgHave you ever woken up to the moon before?

Yes, you read right. Waking up to the Moon!

Well, I just did.

At first, I assumed it was the sun and thought “how odd” because I was looking towards the West. Then I made out the lines of the moon and was mesmerized by its beauty. (more…)

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

Francesca Silva

blessing1.jpgWell, that was fast! 2009 is already coming to an end and we’re about to usher in another new year.

So I guess it’s time to reflect on everything that has happened this year – good and bad. Okay, maybe I’ll just gloss over the bad bits and focus on the good ones. (more…)

Christmas. . . Merry We Are!

Christina Souza Ma

christmas-gift.jpgWow, I still cannot believe that today…now…this moment is Christmas Day!

Time is flying by so quickly…gifts? What gifts?

I thought I was better prepared this year but, that being said, I have not even had a moment to pack a thing, ship out a thing. I just got enough packaged for midnight and that was it. We celebrate at midnight. (more…)

Merry Christmas!

Francesca Silva

merry-christmas2.jpgI would like to take this moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, although I was recently told that I’m supposed to say “Happy Holidays” instead.

Why can’t I wish people a “Merry Christmas?” I realize that it’s not considered politically correct to use that phrase because it’s a Christian one and not everyone is a Christian. So, whenever someone wishes me “Happy Holidays,” I thank them and respond in kind, respecting the fact that they are probably not Christians. However, whenever I wish people “Merry Christmas,” the same respect does not always seem to be reciprocated. (more…)

Still the Tsunami

Christina Souza Ma

planet.jpgIt’s an incredible time on this planet…in the universe.

Time is moving faster and faster, days go by with the blink of an eye. It’s never been quite like this before. I hear from several mentors that it will just become faster. Individuals will either learn to flow with it or spin out of control. (more…)

All I Want for Christmas…

Francesca Silva

family-picture.jpgIt’s that time of year again. You know – time to spread love and joy and peace and harmony…

What planet am I from?! Have you been Christmas shopping yet? Where’s the love, the joy, the peace, the harmony? Never mind that – where’s the nearest pub…I need a drink to fortify myself for Christmas shopping (and I don’t even drink)! (more…)

Expanding Our Boundaries

Christina Souza Ma

Group-Shivasana.jpgIt’s the end of the year already. Yes, the year has flown by and year-end has now come upon us.

With that has come clarity for me. I am now beginning to understand why the universe guided me towards leading yoga sessions with the team. It has all become very clear this past week. (more…)

I Love My New Computer…not quite yet

Francesca Silva

parallels.jpgSo this morning I decided to make a conscious and concentrated effort to try using my new computer. I refused to look at my “oldie but goodie” (even though I could feel the waves of rejection emanating from it). Instead, I took a few deep Yoga breaths and switched on the new machine.

Okay, that went well – up came a beautiful screen with all sorts of icons at the bottom. (I have to say that this new computer really is fine to look at – all sleek lines and no wires to fight with.) I started going through everything to familiarize myself – and immediately got side-tracked with iPhotos. Wow – love it, love it, love it! I can’t wait to get a photo album made of our trip to Europe in May. (more…)
