About Me

Meditation doesn't mean to be closed in a monastery or escape from the world....any moment can be a meditation! I really beleve in this.... "Remember one thing: meditation means awareness. Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation. Action is not the question, but the quality that you bring to your action. Walking can be a meditation if you walk alertly. Sitting can be a meditation if you sit alertly. Listening to the birds can be a meditation if you listen with awareness. Just listening to the inner noise of your mind can be a meditation if you remain alert and watchful. The whole point is: one should not move in sleep. Then whatsoever you do is meditation." Osho

I am Italian and live in Italy with my daughter and our tortoise . I teach Yoga.I am a free spirit who needed wings to fly since childhood .I metaphorically looked for them working as a flight attendant in my 20's .I traveled around the world and then lived in India at Osho's meditation center for 5 yrs .This experience had a deep impact on my life and spiritual path. I try to live life passionately even in the most ordinary things I do..with respect and devotion.carpe diem. I love being in Nature and I use my photography as a way to honor it as Nature is my healer... And last but not least.....I trust life and I strongly believe in positive thinking in order for things to happen with a good dose of .... patience and sense of humor. WATCHING CLOUDS PASSING BY..THE SUN IS ALWAYS SHINING "Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of the wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped." ( Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes)

My Interests

I believe that... "The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself". (H.Miller) The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. Rabindranath Tagore ME IN NATURE.... AND.. APPRENTICE BELLY DANCER.. MY ICONS... MYTHIC INDIGO GIRLS AND THE DIVINE MATA HARI WELCOME SPRING....from your May child Spirituality , Yoga , meditation ,Native American wisdom,walking in nature,photography,astrology, tarots,traveling ,vintage and collage scrapbooking. I would love to learn howto play my didjeridooand I love my belly dance class!! I LOVE TRAVELING I FEEL DRAWN TO BUTTERFLY GUIDANCESymbology: transformation, joy, lightness, rebirth.The metamorphosis of caterpillar to butterfly embodies the principle of physical and spiritual transformation,and the butterfly lighting upon a flower is the very essence of joy, beauty, and freedom.The butterfly has been symbolic of the soul (early Christianity), conjugal bliss (China), and change and joy (Native American).In early Minoan and mycenaean cultures, the butterfly goddess was a key emblem, symbolizing new life after death.

Be available to what comes your way, as it comes.And don't worry..if you stumble or fall;just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, have a good laugh and..carry on.(Osho) You are not accidental.Existence needs you.Without you something will be missing and nobody can replace it.(Osho) The stars, the rocks,the trees, the flowers,fish, birds..all are brothers and sisters in this dance of life..
