Happy Easter

Whether you have religious believes or not. Easter is a time to get together with friends and family and rejoice.

I don’t think is a coincidence that celebrating resurrection happens at spring time… Let’s take some inspiration from nature!!!

It is the perfect time for a fresh start, don’t you think? so why not start eating like you love yourself?. Here are some ideas of how to show that love:

  • Eat organic for the best you can put in your body specially eggs
  • Eat fresh vegetables and sprouts to help you detox and nourish
  • Avoid sugar and alcohol because you love yourself
  • Get fresh air! to start getting active
  • Practice yoga or gigong to renew and regenerate
  • Relax and just listen to music that you love

Mudra for joy

Here is a great way to fill with joy without any stimulants and is free! Seat comfortably and follow these steps for 10 min:

  • Bend the elbows and open arms to the side.
  • Position hands at the shoulder level with palms facing forward.
  • Bend down the little and ring fingers into the palm.
  • Place your thumb lightly over them.
  • Lift index and middle fingers up (similar to peace sign).
  • Inhale slowly and count to 8.
  • Exhale slowly and count to 8.
  • Smile as you feel the glow of your inner light.

Let me know how you feel after doing this.
