As one of the most brilliant portuguese authors said once,
We could live without someone, somehow, we could live
but I don't know how.

I can live without you as you can live without me,
somehow,
but I don't know how...

The most heard question directed to me these last days....

"Why are you fasting?"

- Exactly for all the reasons why Muslims are fasting during the Ramadan.
Despite not being a Muslim, fasting is not mandatory to me, though I choose to do it for all the spiritual reasons associated to it!

* To remember those who don't have any (those who are starving)
* To connect with the Source/God/Universe/Yourself
* Control your mind and free yourself from useless thoughts
* Worship 
* Pratice good deeds

Ramadan is for everybody who feels like doing and celebrating it.
It's time to spend with yourself/God and your loved ones and be together to celebrate life and love as God's blessing. This is my way of living Ramadan... and I love it!

 

Second day of Ramadan but still on time to wish you all a blessed Ramadan. 

May God bless our hearts with love and strenght, regardless our religion, nationality or color!

God is ONE only and love us all.

Bellydance class!

For those who don't know Lorna of Cairo, believe me, you are missing a lot! I decided to book 2h private class with her in Cairo 1 month ago to improve my dance skills and I just can say: 2h is not enough!

If you want to see oriental dance from another perspective, if you want to feel it, enjoy it with all your guts then this is for YOU!

Besides being an amazing person, as a teacher she will blow your mind and light up your thoughts about dance!

The words are just not enough to express how AMAZING my 2h class was... so full of joy and a-ha moments! 

After you catch all the information given you realize you are a new dancer!

Mood of the past days...

Just got better today...  I guess some friends energy was required to make me see so many things - real friends! Thank you to them! (Because they know who they ARE, indeed!)

Families & babies

We all have been in that place where our friends and relatives start to have their own families.

Recently, I received with happiness my friend's new baby, another friend's pregnancy and could see another friend's belly getting bigger :)

Is with tremendous happiness and sweetness that I see love being spread into the world through interesting and hearted couples that chose to have their own family.

May God always bless them with health, wealth, happiness, protection and LOVE! 

Have I said how much I love pearls brought by words?
Full of generosity, without fancy status or whatsoever and only brought by heart?

Here are some pearls brought by Don Miguel Ruiz seminar:
* Loving conditionally and unconditionally.
"I love you if... A, B, C" - if you change your behavior, if you change this aspect, if you change... determines that you are loving conditionally someone whilst on the other hand when you love unconditionally, regardless any aspect you may not like, you accept the other person as he/she is.
* By having faith in ourselves we can listen others, perhaps agree or not, but without any judgement we accept the others as they REALLY are with their own truth! because we have our own truth as well. See, truth is relative, what is truth for me may not be for another person because truth is based in what we perceive from the world.
* Truth will set you free! Jesus said.
*Love yourself like God & love each other. Take the poison out of your emotional wounds, it may hurt a bit at the beginning but the truth will set you free. Forgive. Add Love.

* Prayer of love:
"Thank you Creator of the Universe for the gift of life you have given me
Thank you for giving me everything I ever need
Thank you for the opportunity of experience this beautiful body and this wonderful mind
Thank you for living inside me with all your love and your pure and boundless spirit with ur warm and radiante light
Thank you for using my words, for using my eyes, for using my heart to share your love wherever  I go
I love you just the way you are
And because I'm your creation
I love myself as I am (...)"

And I just felt in my heart how much we are an extension of God.

Na verdade, somos uma só alma, tu e eu.
Nos mostramos e nos escondemos tu em mim, eu em ti.
Eis aqui o sentido profundo de minha relação contigo,
Porque não existe, entre tu e eu, nem eu, nem tu. 

RUMI

We are one soul, you and me.

We show and hide ourselves you in me, me in you.

And that's my deepest relationship with you,

Because it doesn't exist, between you and me, neither me or you.

RUMI

In times of darkness and reflection I concluded that something was missing...

CONNECTION.

Pure, Infinite and Divine Connection.

I realized exactly what once I read hours after from another blog (http://wagnerdeluca.blogspot.com/2013/06/afaste-se-de-pessoas-que-lhe-fazem.html * in portuguese).

Here are some conclusions, internally FELT - because knowing in the mind and feeling IT in your guts are two completely different concepts!

- Most of people know exactly what you should do with your life THOUGH if you analize the whole picture they are the first ones who don't even know how to manage their lives.

Everywhere you will hear "You know what? A, B and C and D about this subject!" but honestly... who is the captain of MY life? Yap, it's me. You will hear a bunch of stuff from your friends, family, acquaintances etc but the ONLY person who really knows what to do is just one, YOU! Follow your intuition above all and clean your environment of such toxic people (again, if you are a portuguese speaker please read the article above, it's beautiful and explains exactly what I'm talking about! When I read it I just laughed to myself - yes, that's exactly that I was willing to talk today, I thought to myself).

- Again, I listened to a magic, wonderful and divine seminar today - another Aha! moment of the today proving that I'm not alone and the Universe is guiding me all along. I've spoken already about these seminars I listen to. From different and AMAZING speakers who know (in their guts - once again, inside their hearts) what they are talking about. 

Today this particular seminar blowed my mind! While I was listening I just could say to myself "yes, yes, yes... exactly!!" - Finally, someone understands what I'm feeling and who I'm. Within so many pearls you shouldn't miss to listen those caught me:

* Why should I rely on others opinions and messages if I can connect to my Guides and the Universe to receive those messages which are really for me?

* Allow yourself  to relax at least 5 min a day and ask for Guidance, just ask, because the Universe is ALWAYS there for you. Just ask and allow yourself to relax, just relax, let go of everything, and without judgment just feel what is coming to you. 

Ask and it will be given - I read somewhere...

* Once again, you are the captain of your life. You and ONLY YOU knows what is best for you. 

I got so many insights from this seminar that I can't express all of them by words, so hurry up as the replay ends today. Catch this pearl of divine, pure love that YOU deserve! I couldn't wish more to ALL of YOU!

The simple exercise THEOS proposes, of asking what to do, asking for Guidance gave me such insights! It really blowed my mind and HEART!

Open your mind and heart and live your experience.

Much love

To read, absorb, digest, feed your soul... a particular and interesting subject close to my heart lately. When a stone gets in your way what should you do? Throw it? Analize it?
I would say, as in the article, analize it. The stone is there for a reason... analize if the path you are taking is the one you really want. If not turn back, thank the stone and get into the right path.
If it is the right path then analize why the stone still got into your way... maybe it was to show you something. To show you the need of paying attention to something around you, maybe to make you feel that you need to grow up in something or particular issue or you have to fight and change some aspect.
Beautifully written and clear enough to organize your mind and show you the way - of the heart and heaven, always!

I used to think that sometimes when things were going wrong I should turn my back and forget it but since I got more spiritual or into my spiritual being, I should say, I understood that it's not that black and white picture! Actually when something happens it is not always saying to you "turn your back, it's done" rather is saying to you "I need you to see something so you can learn more" and in fact, sometimes, life is just showing you something so you feel more prepared for the BIG steps which are approaching...
So keep your eyes wide open and analize. Above all, feel your heart - it always knows the way.

Blessings & love

Sometimes I tend to forget how far my intuition can go... I wonder for the why´s and how´s to connect with myself and suddenly something happens...

The earth decide to shake around here today... not only did in fact and made a massive destruction in Iran as it gave me an insight about what has been happening in the world.

Today in the afternoon while I was stretching on my bed to wake up at 1pm I felt my bed moving... clearly moving! I was wondering what was happening, if construction was so noisy today and somehow able to make all the building moving. I realized that it wasn´t my imagination working... my bed was moving and my closet now was making sound as moving as well faster and faster...

I jumped quickly out of my bed, I knew an earthquake was happening and I could literally feel my house moving, even if standing up. 

It might last less than 1 minute but for me it was like 2 or 3 minutes.

After the scary moment of earthquake, now the fire alarm was working... it lasted for at least 30 minutes till it stopped. I was relieved I was ok and nothing happened, though I couldn´t stop thinking about the population of Iran and all the suffering they were now going through...

Then I realized that it´s not the first time in less than 2 weeks that the earth is moving here and I deeply felt even during the earthquake that the earth was trying to say something.

I do believe we entered into a new era, called aquarian era - where the old patterns have to vanish and hearts open to love and divine purpose. Somehow during those seconds where I could feel my heart beating fast and the earth moving I felt like the earth was opening a space - energetically speaking. I do accept all the scientific explanations of a earthquake as I studied it as well and it´s part of my academic background but life is much more than science... the earth was opening space to the energy to flow and it wasn´t by chance that it happened around Middle East.

The Universe is wiser than we eventually can understand and despite the pain and suffering this event brought and the scariest moments that people went through and that I personally experienced as well but fortunatelly in less intensity, I do believe that the earth was trying to say something today...

My prayers today go to Iran... who suffered the most intense earthquake of the last 40 years, today.

An article which I truly recommend about higher self:

Perfectly written, close to the heart of those who seek connection - we all do!

Blessings to all 

EAST FEST LISBON PORTUGAL 2013

Oriental Dance as a Spiritual path

Many of you should be wonder or ask themselves what do I see or feel when I dance. Good question and simple answer. I feel myself... simple as that. I feel blessed, loved and connected with the Universe. 

I´m not better than anyone else around me and I do not intend to be better than anyone than myself.

Oriental dance is for me the most profound connection and expression I have found along the years. Is my way of living, expressing, BEING... is my spiritual path!

To dance genuinely all dancer has to dance from her/his heart and soul deeply connected to WHO she/he is, accepting to be exposed and transparent to the audience. It´s like being vulnerable and strong on stage.

Many words could be written about the subject - why do I dance, how I feel and why I see it as my spiritual path but as real love one word could define it... FEELING. Once you feel it, you know it!

I declare here my profound and most deep love and respect for oriental dance!

What I usually don´t confess...

I usually don´t speak much about how much blessed I am, but I am. I don´t speak often about my feelings with others, unless they are completely part of my heart and my soul, as few are!

A while ago, while reading a description on ebay of a book I laughed secretly to myself. 

There is definitely a difference between "I know" (because I can imagine) and "I know" (because I´ve been there or experienced X or Y). 

Just GOD knows how much grateful I am for being where I am right now, for all the ups and downs which make me grow so much and realize so many things in my life.

So, for this particular book was written that the story occurs in India, in Calcutta, and immediately I thought to myself that I´ve been there, I´ve experienced situations there, I spoke with the people and I could really feel myself in Calcutta right now. I´ve been there.

Curiously, the book is called "New Life" and I felt like reading it as I´m feeling my life will change sooner.

Everytime something will change in my life I feel a dark side coming up, where fears come from up, down and sides which I can´t recognize as mine. 

I realized it right now - my darkest phase is exactly predicting that - that something good will appear soon!
