Butterfly

Like the metamorphosis of the caterpillar,

Into a beautiful butterfly,

Let our past desire, karmas and sanskaras,

Be transormed into an ever new light,

Let bygones be bygones,

For the rebirth of spring,

Has flourished into a new joy.

Gasho

Gasho nasce come ali sul cuore

piccola perla che s'inchina

oltre tutte le forme ed il silenzio:

tepore antico che si dona

alla carezza d'un sorriso

Fiore di loto nella tiepida fragranza

perchè si è aperto lo scrigno

che ad occhi socchiusi appare vuoto

e in un tocco leggero sprigiona aromi

senza più tempo e logore domande

Color plays an important role in most of our lives - we dress in colors we feel comfortable in and decorate our homes in colors that we like. But our reactions to and preference of certain colors may not be arbitrary and meaningless. Some believe colors can affect our moods, our health, and our inclination to act a certain way.

The use of color to influence moods and thoughts is called color therapy or chromotherapy and was popularized in the…

If it felt it I orchestrate in the…

Yoga: An Inner Journey…

Nella pioggia

Piove piove nei miei occhi

piove piove nella mia anima

se tu non sei nella mia mente

se tu non sei qui ancora

Piove piove in questo cielo

senza nuvole e voce

dove sento onde di pace

qui ed ora dove tutto è amore

Piove piove ora ed ancora

perchè la vita è nel cuore

oltre il tempo e le parole

senza spazio e confine

Piove piove ed è vita

in ricerca di…
