YOGA IS THE DEVIL'S WORK

A LOUSY POEM

A dear friend sent this quote to me in a moment when I just needed it. Maybe it will also inspire you!

The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something. Kurt Vonnegut

I'M CLEANING

I picked few points from the article "30 ways to detox your home and body" and added some of my own comments. Maybe you can also pick some and start from them, see how later on you've taken many other points into action by yourself!

1. Eat organic
2. Add more raw vegetables and juices to your diet
4. Sauna helps to sweat away the toxins - I'd also add cold water swimming here, it's great and does wonders to your metabolism!
5. Stretch daily - yoga, tai chi, whatever you enjoy!
6. Change the chemical cleaning products to natural ones - if I don't wanna eat chemicals, why would I wanna breath or absorb the chemicals through my skin
8. Start reading food labels - if the product has a list of 20 added, unnatural things, do you really want to have them inside you?
9. Same goes for cosmetic and personal care products - read the labels and avoid any synthetic chemicals! You don't wanna have those in your system either.
10. Add wheatgrass to your diet.
11. As well as chlorella or/and spirulina.
12. Excercise 45 minutes at least daily - it has a positive affect on your physical and menthal health!
13. Eat detoxifying foods daily - my favorites are blueberries, ginger and spinach
14. Exchange massages with a partner - a friend or your loved one, this is a great way to communicate with another one and find a different kind of connection, show your affection and love, wether it be romantic or not.
15. Give up smoking - I know, it's hard but you'll feel so much different when you do!
16. Be moderate with drinking - a glass of red wine every now and then is okay, isn't it?
18. Drink clean water - maybe get a water filter or try to get your hands on spring water cleaned by Mother Nature!
21. Stop microwaving your food - it's been so many years since I've used microwave that can't even think about using it now, even the idea of it makes me feel YICK!
26. Stop eating artificial colours.
27. If you'd know what they put in fragrances, you wouldn't wanna use them so I would suggest you to go organic with your self and stop using parfymes - more of this subject later...
28. Don't storage food in plastic containers - use glass bottles etc. to avoid BPA
30. Reduce meat in your diet - many think that I'm vegetarian but actually I do eat meat every now and then, maybe max couple times a month, but when I do, I buy organic. But mainly, I eat vegetarian food, just because it makes me feel better and it's d e l i c i o u s!

YOGA EMPOWERS IN HELSINKI

I was asked to participate in the first Yoga Empowers Project in Finland by Satu Tuomela and when I heard that it will be a charity event, I was excited to give one free class of hatha yoga this coming Sunday. I'm a bit nervous because it's my first bigger event with many people taking part and the whole happening will be also filmed to HimaJooga so there's some challenge for a person who's usually teached not more than 10 people in one sitting! But I know it's gonna be fun and it's always good to face your fears and do something new! I'll share some pics of the event later! Here's something about the Project by LuvMat:

LuvMat Founders and Yoga Alliance Certified Instructors, Scott Roberts and Emily Summersett created the Yoga Empowers Project as a medium to share yoga with the under-served through free, all-levels community classes. The project’s mission is to teach yoga in a way that is approachable and inspires participants to discover or re-discover what brings them the most joy, abundance and love in life.

I'm arranging a discussion evening with lovely Mili Kaikkonen, "a born seer, intuitive counsellor, speaker and spiritual teacher" who'll be giving a speach about "Perfect Imperfection".

THE BRILLIANT ONE IN THE SKY

During dark moon, sometimes called the new moon, collective power emerges so gather together with your friends and share you visions, ideas and inspirations. Or if you feel like turning inward to your self, meditate and feel the renewing energy of the Goddess, the Moon. Free yourself from the past and welcome the new times with Love.

HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN

Happiness consists not of having, but of being; not of possessing, but of enjoying. It is a warm glow of the heart at peace with itself. A martyr at the stake may have happiness that a king on his throne might envy. Man is the creator of his own happiness. It is the aroma of life, lived in harmony with high ideals. For what a man has he may be dependent upon others; what he is rests with him alone.

NEW NANNANDA EARRINGS

Tomorrow Saturday is again the national Restaurant Day all over Finland when anyone can open a restaurant and serve food for people. "Restaurant day is a one-day carnival in favor of a free-spirited restaurant and food culture" announces the site. It's a fun day when you can explore the city and eat at guerilla restaurants all different kind of foods. Many my friends are organizing their own restaurants which is great! One will be held at the Gallery Ateljeejee, Kuuma Peruna Pop Up which sells hot potatoes with different kind of fillings, easy to eat and tasty for sure! The women behind the restaurant are Pilvi and her mother Päivi who will donate a part of every sold meal to youth's mental wellbeing. Big up hot ladies!

I'll be also at the gallery from 12-15 and will bring some new nannanda earrings with me so come and support a good cause and check out the new pieces! Here's some preview...
