What is a Kirtan?   Kirtan is a form of "Bhakti"  (yoga of devotion ) where we use our voice to express, chant mantras or the yoga of sound. Mantras are words/ sanskrit texts that are repeated until they become integrated in your mind and/or subconsciousness thus bringing out inner peace and wonderful vibration within us. Kirtan is like another form of meditation.  If this sounds like someting you are interested in please feel free to e-mail me for details on my upcoming Kirtan on May 22.

           Happy New Year!   Wishing you all the best for 2009. I came across this neat quote that sums it all up for all your new year’s new projects and resolutions…

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.

Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

 

 

“UGLY TURNS PRETTY”

I have to say that I am not fond of all the music contests that there exists out there… especially with all the fees that they ask from you. But there is this one contest that I liked and decided to enter “Ugly”, a song that has been lucky for me in the past … It is www.songoftheyear.com. Neverthless, I’m proud to say that it has made it up to the monthly finals in the songoftheyear.com awards. Pretty neat, uh?…

   Womensradio.com has added to their programming, my song, “Healing Mantra” from my latest album ZEN VOYAGE and it is now playing here:  http://www.live365.com/stations/womens_radio?site=pro

   You can also expect new music coming out this year, so please stay tuned! I am back in the studio!!!

10 Great Reasons why you should go on a Yoga Retreat

November 11, 2008

Many people today are continuously running around endlessly( including me sometimes) doing this, and finishing that TO DO list.  We are just operating on a sub-conscious level and routine- based life. But when you DO get a glimpse of the present moment ( I do when I practice or teach yoga especially), we realize that it is time to take a good break and breathe. It makes us happier.  While you don’t need any reason to take a good break, like going on a yoga retreat, I’ve compiled 10 reasons why you should.  Here goes:

1-     Recharge your Batteries: Sometimes we just need to relax and recharge our batteries. Get away and just lounge around by pool, relax and do nothing. The result is that you will feel better when you return and probably more efficient.

2-     Relax from daily routine: Break the routine, get out ! Do something new, see places, take a yoga class. It will make you appreciate life better when you break out of that boring day to day routine. A change of ideas brings new ideas.

3-     Do Yoga:  A little yoga can not hurt, especially if you are always sitting on a desk. This will help your body’s flexibility and breathing, and it’s a great mental healer too. Most Retreats have yoga and daily meditation classes that are somewhat easy and for all levels.

4-     Re-focus on your future: Notice how motivated you are after a vacation with fresh new ideas? It helps you focus on what is important to you and your life and assess your strategies better if you got off track along the way.

5-     Be happy, change of Attitude: A change of attitude is always good. If you’re happy the people around you will probably be happy too.

6-     Eat well (organic): Most retreat centers offer organic and healthy meals which are just very good for you, overall. Your body will de-stress and heal better with the healthy, good foods you give it.

7-     Tranquility : Get some mental Peace and Quiet. Finally, the only thing you need to hear is nature, beautiful ocean or rivers, trees, AH !!!!  Reconnect with the essence of you, the spiritual.

8-     Connect with Nature: It is beautiful to connect with nature because you connect with yourself, and your soul. It is truly rewarding when you take time to breathe and relax  with nature   

9-     Get to Know Yourself Better:  A retreat is the perfect time to get to feel your true self and get to realize what is important to you, and how you’ve changed throughout the years. Things that mattered to you before probably don’t matter anymore. It’s good to realize the change within us and celebrate this.

10- Plan your next retreat: By the end of your retreat week, you’ll want to plan your next yoga retreat because you enjoyed it so much. You will feel refreshed and youthful.
