I am in the middle of my holiday time in Florida, one and half month more to go before heading back home to London;( It's been such an amazing experience so far to be here. Even if my days are more or less pretty the same, each one brings something new and special. Whenever I wake up and go for swim to the beautiful and peaceful ocean after my 1 hour swim I either contemplate for a while floating on the surface of the water or just lying down on the edge of the ocean. The water keeps me up and moisturise my skin when it dries and gets hot. I'm lifted by this soft and salt liquid which allows me to let myself melt and be cared by the mother nature. In the morning the ocean usually is very calm and in the evening gets a little bit more ruff. But usually both the morning and evening are exceptional, give me a unique felling of being the part of the whole universe and being a drop in the water.... meaningfully. Whenever I deal with any sort of problem I get myself down to the basic and immerse underneath the water which resets my body and mind. The ocean is the best healer after the yoga and dance or maybe they are equal. The meditation in motion (movement meditation) is the best experience ever. Let my mind connect with the body and the other way around on the level of total abstraction. i can attach and detach whenever I feel like. I go with flow, relax my limbs, joins and muscles, open my mind to unknown and i am already drifted in the fluid of thoughts and images spread around. I take them away when they come back and all over again I keep the same pattern.
After I came back from West Palm Beach and Boca Raton (Mid...North Florida) where I stayed with my friend. I lost my mobile and Ipod, and I haven't found them since then. I am not rushing to get them back as I know it has happened for a reason.... It's so nice to be disconnected from outworld and get in touch with it only when I really need it. Of course I've still got left my mac so I can communicate with an entire world but it's my choice when I want to do so. Somehow having less and less makes me feel happier and lighter. I realise that I really don't need that much. Every time in my life, either spiritual or physical experience give certain meaning to my existence and the way I want to live. Somehow I am not a person who like a common life style, the family, house and car. I've never been bonded to this sort of life, even if I really wanted. Somehow my path is different, and I love following my wild instinct and intuition of researching unknown. I open myself to the life and I let it in in the right moment. It doesn't matter where I am but definitely the beautiful and warm nature says for itself. Somehow it's so therapeutic for my mental and physiological state, I am addicted to the nature, ocean, sand, sun and moon. i could be in the forest, mountains, river and sea. i could be an animal, bird, butterfly. i could be the air, earth and water, and I am the fire. I've recently read at friend's place this astrology's book about signs in relationships of the couple. And I obviously checked out sagitaritus-sagittarius correlation. And I found out that we are the perfect couple I mean both Sagittarius (me and my partner). First of all we would never get bored because we love challenging each other no matter it is. When we get upset with each other we struggle to apologise but we get over it as soon as we finished to fight. We just behave again as nothing has really happened. The only issue we should take on board while being together is never get separated, as we can easily forget about each other. I feel like I want to be with my second half wherever i go in order to share the beautiful moments with him. However if it's not the case because of different reason I find it also really rewarding to explore our own worlds for the time being we are not physically together, but our hearts are still next to each other and they beat with the same paste no matter where we are;) this is me, I miss my second half, but I also know that it's there and waiting for me whenever I need it.
I facebooked on the public wall my friend who was on his way to pick me up and had to turn back in the middle of his way as I postponed the meeting. Of course I shared it with the whole world as I wasn't sure what I was doing on my Ipod. And guess what? As soon as my partner found out about it called me telling how sorry he was for the guy....
The next day concerned by what happened I went with my friend to this typical american fish restaurant (http://www.rusticinn.com/index.html) where they serve lobsters, crabs and all related sea food. We had got some fish and crabs legs, really delicious. The night before I dinnered with my friend and her family in their house (Boca Raton - very porch jewish area in Florida) and we were treated with huge american lobsters. Really incredible experience. It's not that i've never tried lobster before, as I had lots of them in my life, but each place has got different lobsters species and this was really great.
A couple of days ago I went to yoga studio 'Synergy's event where took the place the meditation, arc yoga demo and belly dancing performance. This is the place where I actually teach yoga dance and other yoga classes, I am also preparing the yoga dance workshop: (http://www.synergyyoga.org/yoga-teachers/joana-puchala/)

I met few people there and one of them was a martial artist. We met up the net day and spent half of it on sharing the martial arts on the beach, thai chi and chi conodo, then we proceeded with the energy transfer between both channels through the massage and reiki. Today on the beach we are going to try to do the contemporary dance fusion with martial arts (sticks. kunkwu) and acro yoga (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0w-yB20UKY&feature=fvw)
In the meantime this morning after I finished to swim and I was drifting on the water's surface I opened my eyes and I saw a very big size human being who started the conversation. It turned out that he's been a world champion in king boxing for 12 years and he is still competiting (http://fredtheiceman.com/html/iceman-bio.html).... just getting to be ready for the next comeptition in Las vas in 2 months time. And later on after my skype conversation with my american best friend we found out that it was the same person who was asking her out some time ago. He'd got a hang over after last night out, as he is not used to any kind of alcohol, after six martini based cocktails he almost passed out. He was dealing with his hung over while he invited me for breakfast. So we had got a hudge breakfast on Lincoln road and we agreed that I will join him while he is training as I need to do work out on my knee and get ready for my dance training after 2 months of break. I mean I still keep actively training myself but it's not as efficient as it should be. I need to have at least 6 hours training a day and I do half of it now. Mostly because of my knee problem, which is keeling me now. Even if I ice it every day after the work out the pain is great. I need to find the way to heal it. Yesterday's energy exchange was really good to relief the pain. After that I reached an incredible flow in the movement and flexibility without using any strength. It's like a foldenkrais technique. After las tnight yoga own practice I watched this wonderful movie recommended by my friend to me and to all of you who read it. It's a mastery piece of art: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR7yzPLXNAM&feature=related
Whenever you feel like disconnect from the hectic life turn on this wonderful movie 'ashes and snow' with the animals, water and human in motion. It's an experience to watch it, you clear your mind and relax your inner self. it brings you to a different dimension.
