The Pacific Crossing Guide
4TH Edition by Francis Hawkings
Adlard Coles | $80.00 | Hardback | 9781399407014 | 304 pages | November 5, 2024
The Pacific Crossing Guide is a complete reference for anyone contemplating sailing the Pacific. From ideal timing, suitable boats, routes, methods of communication, health and provisioning to seasonal weather, departure and arrival ports, facilities, likely costs and dangers, this comprehensive new edition will both inspire dreamers and instill confidence in those about to depart. Completely updated, expanded and refreshed for the new generation of Pacific cruisers, this is the definitive reference relied upon by many thousands of cruisers.
The first part provides thorough preparation for both East-to-West and West-to-East crossings, and the second part covers Pacific weather patterns, major routes and landfall ports, with useful website links throughout. There are sections on rallies, coral atolls and atoll navigation, the cyclone season and laying up, use of electronic charts, satellite phones versus HF radio, ongoing maintenance, and Pacific festivals.
Updated with new charts and photographs, the new 4th edition focuses on ports of entry rather than secondary anchorages, and expands the North Pacific coverage, making it a valuable resource for sailors doing a North Pacific circuit, particularly US and Canadian sailors from the Pacific North.
Under Wide and Starry Skies
50 Sailing Destinations in Seas Less Travelled by Nicholas Coghlan
Adlard Coles | $31.50 | Paperback | 9781399413756 | 336 pages | May 6, 2025
If you own a sailing boat, chances are that you’ve wondered what it would be like to throw in your job, cast off and sail over the horizon.
Here are 50 out-of-the way destinations to encourage you to sell up and go (or enjoy a temporary escape) with practical tips including formalities, the prevailing weather and GPS positions. The selection of locations is based on over 70,000 miles of sailing. Some (St Helena, Cocos Keeling) are classic yet remote destinations that have been favored by circumnavigators ever since the days of Joshua Slocum. Others (in Japan, Patagonia or the Pacific Northwest) have been chosen as perfect examples of the attractions of those regions. Common denominators are protection from the weather, scenic beauty and historic and/or human interest. And the fact that, while solitude is not guaranteed, you won’t be troubled by the arrival of a cruising flotilla or by a novice dragging anchor onto you. Each anchorage is introduced with a lively account describing the place, its history and people (if any) as well as the author and his crew’s adventures. Each account is followed by a beautifully hand-drawn sketch of the anchorage and an information box.

Waterfront luxury reimagined
IntroducIng the resIdences at the st regIs BahIa Mar resort Fort LauderdaLe.
Related Group, Tate Capital and Rok Acquisitions unveil vision for a Monaco-inspired yachter’s paradise, set to transform the iconic marina and deliver a luxury lifestyle under the esteemed St. Regis brand.
A decade in the making, the first phase of the $2 billion development will elevate the premier megayacht marina — home to the world’s largest in-water boat show — into a worldclass lifestyle destination, complete with branded residential towers, a flagship St. Regis hotel, a private beach club, and a selection of signature fine dining and upscale retail. Sales for The St. Regis Residences, Bahia Mar, Fort Lauderdale (The Residences) are now underway.
“While Bahia Mar has attracted global yachting enthusiasts for decades with its prime location and unparalleled superyacht infrastructure, its full potential had yet to be tapped, said Jorge M. Pérez, Chairman and CEO of Related Group. Blending world-class residential, hospitality and lifestyle offerings, this visionary development is not only befitting of this one-ofa-kind site but also a critical addition to Fort Lauderdale s broader evolution. With the introduction of The St. Regis Resort and Residences, Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale, our team is cementing the city as one of the world’s luxury epicenters.”
Spanning over 40 acres of land and water, this extraordinary development will unfold in two phases, transforming the site into a tropical sanctuary. At its heart are two 23-story residential towers and a 197-key luxury hotel, all under the iconic St. Regis brand. Masterfully crafted by an elite design team, the visionary architecture is led by the renowned Arquitectonica, complemented by refined interiors from Londonbased Tara Bernerd & Partners, helmed by esteemed designer Tara Bernerd. The master plan includes 88,000 square feet of luxurious waterfront commercial space featuring restaurants and boat docking, a public park along the Intracoastal Waterway and a 25-foot-wide pedestrian promenade encircling the property’s west, north and south sides. An exclusive marina features slips for megayachts up to 350 feet.
The first phase will feature 160 elegantly appointed condominium homes spread across the two residential towers, alongside exclusive resort residences atop the hotel. The condominiums will include three- and four-bedroom options ranging from 2,600 to 3,550 square feet, in addition to stunning penthouse residences. The homes feel like secluded villas, featuring private elevator foyers and expansive, flowing spaces. Designed for effortless living and entertaining, these light-filled residences showcase modern, open layouts and wraparound glass terraces that provide sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and Fort Lauderdale skyline. The Residences within the hotel will offer one to three bedrooms, in addition to penthouse options.
Each element of the branded residences embodies the essence of the St. Regis brand, renowned for its bespoke service and discerning taste that cultivate an exquisite lifestyle. Daily life is enriched by 17,000 square feet of interior amenities in each building designed to promote holistic wellness and create the perfect setting for unforgettable celebrations. These amenities include a luxurious spa with steam rooms, saunas, hot and cold plunges, treatment rooms and a wellness terrace; a salon offering beauty services; an indooroutdoor fitness center; a children’s entertainment room; a library/ media room; a private dining room and a billiards room. Lush terra-
ces with summer kitchens, a private outdoor pool with a whirlpool, a pickleball court, a programmable multisport simulator and house bicycles enhance the experience.
Owners will also have access to the resort amenities, including two resort-style swimming pools, a beach club, a fitness center, an upscale spa with outdoor amenities, and a signature restaurant with dramatic water views.
Additional perks include a private residential lobby attended 24/7, a porte-cochère for enhanced privacy, on-site valet parking and selfparking options, along with private, secure climate-controlled storage, a curated collection of museum-quality art and an exclusive residents-only app.
As the home of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the Bahia Mar Yachting Center is already a premier destination for yachting enthusiasts worldwide. In the summer of 2023, the development team secured rezoning and approval for the transformation of the existing Bahia Mar resort.
Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the exclusive sales and marketing agent for The Residences. Pricing begins at $4.8 million for the condominium residences and $2.6 million for the resort residences. For more information, please visit https:// srrbahiamar.com
The Genoa International Boat Show
The64th edition of the Genoa International Boat Show took place in Genoa, Italy, from 19-24 September, 2024. It received over 120,000 visitors, and was truly a joy to visit. Having long since surpassed the threshold of two thousand brands and boats on display and with the potential to still improve its overall capacity, the Show’s layout allowed for a unique and engaging visiting experience across a seamless exhibition route.
The guiding element throughout whichever direction visitors chose to follow according to their varying interests was that of innovation, an innovation defined by the challenge of implementing materials and propulsion systems ever more capable of guaranteeing the protection of the environment, and not just that of the sea. From boats to engines to the extensive range of equipment and components, the vast array on offer was inspired by that same dedication.
Genoa has a strong link to the sea and it makes sense for it to host Italy’s most important Boat Show. It has historically been one of the most important ports on the Mediterranean and was the capital of one of the most powerful maritime republics for almost eight centuries. Especially between the 12th and the 15th century, Genoa played a leading role in the history of commerce and trade in Europe, eventually becoming one of the largest naval powers of the continent and considered at the time among the wealthiest cities in the world.
“The leadership of ‘Made in Italy’ yachting in the world has remained consolidated for over twenty years,” explained An-
drea Razeto, President of I Saloni Nautici, during a previous press conference presenting the Show. “In 2023, the global production leadership of Italian superyachts registered +21% compared to the previous year, representing 51% of global orders: one boat out of every two in the world’s seas is Made in Italy. In this framework, the Genoa International Boat Show is the instrument that has always supported and amplified the sector’s drive towards internationalisation, making our values known abroad. With this goal in mind, the programme carried out together with the Italian Trade Agency - for which I would like to thank President Matteo Zoppas - has seen the organisation of collectives featuring Italian companies and the presentation of the 64th edition of the Boat Show worldwide in Düsseldorf, Miami, Dubai, New York for the NY Design Week, Southampton, and Hamburg. As part of the implementation of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation’s Made in Italy Promotion Plan, an international business and press tour brings to the Genoa Boat Show the most important operators in the sector along with key members of the sector’s foreign press, who this year will be coming from over 30 different countries from all five continents”.
Yachting Times Magazine would like to express our deepest thanks to the Italian Trade Agency and the Italian Marine Industry Association who kindly invited us to attend this edition of the Genoa International Boat Show. It was a pleasure to experience first-hand the exceptional quality of their yachts, accessories and services Made in Italy paired with Italian superb designs, world-class quality, elegance and warmth.

The 2024 Gloucester Schooner Festival
A Stunning Visual Spectacle
Text and photos by | Texto y fotos por NANCY BLOOM
The Gloucester Schooner Festival encapsulates more than just a sailing competition; it is a vital celebration of community, heritage, and maritime culture. This year’s regatta festivities were packed with activities catering to a diverse audience. The highlight was the Mayor’s Race, where schooners were divided into classes based on their size and design, including categories
for both traditional and modern vessels. The Parade of Sail presented a stunning visual spectacle as majestic schooners displayed their sails and maneuvered gracefully in the harbor, creating a picturesque backdrop for onlookers. Local vendors and food stands added to the vibrant atmosphere, transforming the waterfront into a lively gathering spot for families and sailing enthusiasts alike.
The festival fosters a strong sense of community involvement, as numerous organizations, local businesses, and volunteers contribute to the event’s success. This collaborative effort not only reinforces local bonds, but also educates the next generation about sailing and maritime traditions. Many of the regatta’s participants are families who have sailed for generations ensuring that the legacy of these magnificent schooners continues to thrive and Gloucester remains a prime sailing destination.

Colome
Una joya escondida en un destino escondido.
Text by | Texto por CLARA BARCIELA www.across-southamerica.com
Duringmy trip to the Cafayate wine region in the Northern Argentinian province of Salta, I visited a variety of wine producers that provide exceptional wines. But the area has one lesser-known gem that offers exceptional high-altitude wines: Colomé Winery & Estancia, the oldest winery in Argentina and one of the highest vineyards in the world. Bodega Colomé was founded in 1831 and is Argentina’s oldest continually working winery. The historic vineyards were planted some 190 years ago and still produce delicious wines.
Nicolás Severo de Isasmendi y Echalar, the last colonial governor in Salta, founded the winery in 1831. His daughter, Ascención, married to José Dávalos, imported Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon vines from France in 1854 and was a true pioneer and visionary who laid the very foundations of their wine enterprise. The Isasmendi-Dávalos families managed the winery until 2001 when Swiss businessmen Donald and Úrsula Hess acquired it. Today, the winery is run by Larissa and Christoph Ehrbar (Ursula Hess’s daughter and son-in-law), the second generation of the Swiss family who works to keep their legacy alive: creating extraordinary high-altitude wines through sustainable viticulture practices. Estancia Colomé is located near Molinos in northwest Argentina. We took a 2-hour flight from Buenos Aires to Salta to get to Colomé. We then drove almost five hours to cover the 160 miles (260 kilometers) of gorgeous wilderness from Salta to Colomé, passing through Cachi and Molinos. The road from Salta is long but the breathtaking landscapes made the ride
Durante mi viaje a la región vinícola de Cafayate, en la provincia de Salta, en el norte de Argentina, visité una variedad de productores de vino que elaboraban vinos excepcionales. Pero la zona cuenta con una joya menos conocida que ofrece excepcionales vinos de altura: Colomé Winery & Estancia, la bodega más antigua de Argentina y uno de los viñedos más altos del mundo. Bodega Colomé, fundada en 1831, es la bodega en funcionamiento continuo más antigua de Argentina. Estos viñedos históricos se plantaron hace unos 190 años y todavía producen vinos deliciosos. Nicolás Severo de Isasmendi y Echalar, último gobernador colonial de Salta, la fundó en 1831. Su hija Ascención, casada con José Dávalos, importó vides de Malbec y Cabernet Sauvignon de Francia en 1854 y fue una auténtica pionera y visionaria que sentó los cimientos de esta bodega que hoy se perfila. Las familias IsasmendiDávalos gestionaron la bodega hasta el año 2001 cuando la adquirieron los empresarios suizos Donald y Úrsula Hess. En la actualidad, la bodega está dirigida por Larissa y Christoph Ehrbar (hija y yerno de Ursula Hess), la segunda generación de la familia suiza que trabaja para mantener vivo su legado: crear extraordinarios vinos de altura a través de prácticas de viticultura sostenible.
Estancia Colomé está ubicada cerca de Molinos en el noroeste de Argentina. Tomamos un vuelo de dos horas desde Buenos Aires a Salta para llegar a Colomé. Luego condujimos casi cinco horas para recorrer los 260 kilómetros (160 millas) de
worthwhile. We passed through The Cardones National Park and saw thousands of cardon cactuses (cardones) growing upwards like outstretched arms.
You can visit Colome any time of the year but I would recommend avoiding the rain season which goes from December to March. During the rest of the year, the weather is warm and dry during the day and the temperature drops at night. I visited Colome during the Southern Hemisphere autumn and had beautiful weather — around 80 degrees F (27 degrees C) in “autumn” and enjoyed the stunning colors of the vineyards.
We arrived a bit late at the estancia, but our hosts were waiting for us. They welcomed us with a glass of wine and some empanadas “Salteñas” in the library before dinner. After a delightful meal paired with some delicious wines from the vineyard, we retired to our room and lit a fire, and occasionally stepped outside to enjoy the stargazing. It was just perfect!
The Estancia has only nine rooms. Our suite was decorated in elegant hacienda-style design and had a private terrace with spectacular views of the vineyards and the Calchaquíes Valleys. Our room had a half bathroom, and a main bath that was quite luxurious, with his and hers sinks and a bathtub.
The Estancia has a good gym, a nice library/reading room and a beautiful swimming pool overlooking the vineyards.
belleza salvaje desde Salta hasta Colomé, pasando por Cachi y Molinos. Un recorrido espectacular. Por el camino pasamos por el Parque Nacional Cardones y vimos miles de cardones creciendo como brazos extendidos hacia el cielo. Es un largo viaje desde Salta a Colomé, ¡pero las vistas merecen la pena!. Puedes visitar Colomé en cualquier época del año, pero te recomiendo evitar la temporada de lluvias que va de diciembre a marzo. Durante el resto del año, el clima es cálido y seco durante el día y la temperatura desciende por la noche. Visité Colomé durante el otoño del hemisferio sur y el clima estuvo hermoso: alrededor de 80 grados F (27 grados C) en “otoño” con colores impresionantes de los viñedos.
Llegamos un poco tarde a la estancia, pero nos estaban esperando. Nos recibieron con una copa de vino y unas empanadas salteñas en la biblioteca antes de cenar. Después de una deliciosa comida acompañada de unos excelentes vinos de la casa, nos retiramos a nuestra habitación, encendimos el fuego y, de vez en cuando, salimos a contemplar las estrellas. ¡Fue simplemente perfecto!
La Estancia cuenta con sólo nueve habitaciones. Nuestra suite estaba decorada con un elegante diseño estilo hacienda y contaba con una terraza privada donde podíamos disfrutar de las espectaculares vistas de los Viñedos y los Valles Calchaquíes. Nuestra habitación tenía un medio baño y un
The wifi is a challenge —so it is an ideal place to disconnect from the rest of the world as you only have wifi in the patio and no network service.
Our stay included the winery tour, a wine tasting and a visit to the museum. All activities are highly recommended! The estancia offers different hiking circuits with different difficulties. My husband and I love hiking, so we walked two of the trails. One with gorgeous views of the Calchaquíes Valleys and another one around the oldest vineyards in the winery. After a long morning hiking, we had our lunch at the Estancia restaurant - Provoleta or grilled provolone, cheese soufflé and Colomé Auténtico Malbec wine..after this trip one of my fav wines from Colome!
The entire menu at Estancia Colome is based around homegrown, seasonal products from their own organic garden and farm. Even the ice cream, the milk, and the cheese are all made from animals raised in the estancia. They call it a farmto-table menu. It is a simple but delicious menu made with the local flavors of each season available in the area. Patricia Courtois, winner of the Grand Prix Baron B, is the chef who created a menu specifically for Colomé. Of course, the wine is pretty spectacular too. And all our meals were the perfect blend of wine to pair with our food. The Malbec is wonderful as well as their Torrontés. Try the Special white Misterioso,
baño principal que era bastante lujoso, con lavabos para él y para ella además de una bañera. La Estancia tiene un buen gimnasio, una bonita biblioteca/sala de lectura y una hermosa piscina con vista a los viñedos. El wifi es un reto, por lo que es un lugar ideal para desconectarse del resto del mundo ya que solo tienes wifi en el patio y no hay servicio de red. Nuestra estancia incluyó el recorrido por la bodega, una cata de vinos y una visita al museo. ¡Todas las actividades son muy recomendables! La estancia ofrece diferentes circuitos de senderismo con diferentes dificultades. A mi esposo y a mí nos encanta el senderismo, así que recorrimos dos de los senderos. Uno con hermosa vista a los Valles Calchaquíes y otro alrededor de los viñedos más antiguos de la bodega. Después de una larga caminata matutina, almorzamos en el restaurante Estancia: Provoleta o provolone asado, soufflé de queso y vino Colomé Auténtico Malbec... después de este viaje, ¡uno de mis vinos favoritos de Colomé!
Todo el menú de Estancia Colomé se basa en productos locales de temporada de sus propios huerto y granja orgánicos. Incluso los helados, la leche y los quesos son elaborados con animales criados en la estancia. Lo llaman menú de la granja a la mesa. Es una carta sencilla pero deliciosa, elaborada con los sabores locales de cada temporada disponibles en la zona. Patricia Courtois, ganadora del Gran Premio Barón B, es la chef que
you will only find it in Colomé as they have a really short production of this wine.
Colomé was completely renovated and revitalized by Donald Hess, who bought the winery in 2021. Its vineyards, at 6,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level, include vines that are 160 years old. They are proud and also “blessed” to still have vines that grow on their original rootstock. Colomé focuses in Argentina’s two traditional varietals, Malbec and Torrontés, producing wines that have received international accolades. The age of the vines, the biodynamic practices and the altitude combine to create these amazing wines. Lastly, and for me, the main course served in Colome, is the James Turrell Museum. It’s incredible how they have built something like this in this far-away place! Turrell’s works, which are all about light, are captivating - especially the sky space visit which takes place around sunset. A real must-do Zen experience. Read more and see images at bodegacolome.com. The Colomé winery & estancia is a must-visit if you are a wine lover seeking serenity in a stunning setting of extraordinary nature.
creó un menú específico para Colomé. Por supuesto, el vino es espectacular. Y todas nuestras comidas contaron con la combinación perfecta de vino para acompañarlas. El Malbec es maravilloso al igual que su Torrontés. Recomiendo probar el Misterioso blanco Especial, sólo se encontrará en Colomé ya que cuentan con una producción muy pequeña de este vino. Colomé fue completamente renovada y revitalizada por Donald Hess, quien adquirió la bodega en 2021. Sus viñedos, a entre 6.000 y 10.000 pies sobre el nivel del mar, incluyen cepas de 160 años. Están orgullosos y también “bendecidos” de tener todavía enredaderas que crecen en su patrón original. Colomé se centra en las dos variedades tradicionales de Argentina, Malbec y Torrontés, produciendo vinos que han recibido reconocimientos internacionales. La edad de las viñas, las prácticas biodinámicas y la altitud se combinan para crear estos sorprendentes vinos.
Por último, y para mí, el plato fuerte que se ofrece en Colomé, es el Museo James Turrell. ¡Es increíble cómo han construido algo así en este lugar tan lejano! Las obras de Turrell, que giran en torno a la luz, son cautivadoras, especialmente la visita al espacio celeste que tiene lugar al atardecer. Una verdadera experiencia Zen imprescindible. Se puede leer más sobre este fabuloso lugar y ver imágenes en bodegacolome.com
La bodega y estancia Colomé es una visita obligada si eres un amante del vino que busca serenidad y tranquilidad en un entorno impresionante de naturaleza extraordinaria.
Postcards from the Italian Riviera
Postales de la Riviera Italiana
The Italian (or Ligurian Riviera) is the narrow coastal strip in northwestern Italy that runs over 200 miles from the border with France to the Gulf of La Spezia. It is a region popular with tourists because of its mild sunny weather, colorfully painted buildings, luxury villas and hotels, and charming coastal towns like Portofino, Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure, and those in Cinque Terre. It is
La Riviera Italiana (o de Liguria) es la estrecha franja costera del noroeste de Italia que se extiende a lo largo de unos 350 kms desde la frontera con Francia hasta el golfo de La Spezia. Es una región muy popular entre los turistas por su clima templado y soleado, sus edificios pintados de colores vivos, sus lujosas villas y hoteles, y sus encantadores pueblos costeros como Portofino, Rapallo, Santa
also a renowned yachting and cruising ground with exclusive marinas and yacht clubs, top yachting regattas, and delightful anchorages. The first settlements in this region date from the 8th century BC and the little towns that dot the coast were once fishing villages. Since the late 19th century, the European aristocracy felt attracted to the area, as well as famous artists, writers, and poets, like Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Ernest Hemingway, who seemed to have been inspired by the beauty of Liguria. If you stroll along the different seaside promenades busy with charming cafés, boutiques, and restaurants, and enjoy the scenic views of rocks bordering picturesque coves with lush vegetation and centuries old villas overlooking the sea, you will understand why many villages of the Italian Riviera are considered some of the most beautiful in Italy “I Borghi più belli d’Italia”.
Margherita Ligure, y los de Cinque Terre. También es una zona de renombre para la navegación a vela y los cruceros, con exclusivos puertos deportivos y clubes náuticos, regatas de vela de primer nivel y encantadores fondeaderos. Los primeros asentamientos en esta región datan del siglo VIII a. C. y las pequeñas ciudades que salpican la costa fueron antaño pueblos de pescadores. Desde finales del siglo XIX, la aristocracia europea se sintió atraída por la zona, así como famosos artistas, escritores y poetas, como Lord Byron, Percy Shelley y Ernest Hemingway, que parecían haberse inspirado en la belleza de Liguria. Si paseas por los diferentes paseos marítimos con sus encantadores cafés, boutiques y restaurantes, y disfrutas de las vistas panorámicas de las rocas que bordean pintorescas calas con hermosa vegetación y villas centenarias con vistas al mar, comprenderás por qué muchos pueblos de la Riviera Italiana son considerados como los más bellos de Italia: “I Borghi più belli d’Italia”.
Youmight wonder how hypnosis can break old habits, perhaps thinking of smoking cessation or weight loss. While these are well-known applications, hypnosis is incredibly versatile, addressing a wide range of challenges by accessing the subconscious mind—the part of you that governs most of your actions and behaviors.
Often, when willpower alone isn’t enough, it’s because resistance exists within the subconscious. Hypnosis offers a powerful way to uncover and dissolve these blocks, enabling faster and more effective progress toward your goals. By tapping into deeper layers of your mind, you may find that long-standing habits and patterns begin to shift with surprising ease.
What may surprise you even more is how frequently unresolved trauma lies at the heart of these subconscious blocks. Trauma— something we all experience to varying degrees—can manifest as various challenges, from sleep disturbances and relationship conflicts to fears like public speaking, agoraphobia, or procrastination. Hypnosis helps uncover and address these buried experiences, promoting healing and transformation.
So, how does hypnosis work?
It’s closely tied to your brainwave frequencies. Here’s a simplified breakdown of three key states:
Beta waves: These are active when you’re awake and focused, like while reading this. High beta activity can lead to stress, anxiety, and difficulty relaxing.
Alpha waves: These promote deep relaxation and act as a bridge to your subconscious mind. This state is commonly accessed during meditation or hypnosis and is ideal for transformation.

Tuning to Start the New Year with a Fresh Mindset
Romper viejos patrones: Hipnoterapia y sintonización del biocampo para comenzar el nuevo año con una mentalidad renovada
Quizás
te preguntes cómo la hipnosis puede ayudar a romper viejos hábitos, tal vez pensando en dejar de fumar o perder peso. Si bien estas son aplicaciones bien conocidas, la hipnosis es increíblemente versátil y aborda una amplia gama de desafíos al acceder a la mente subconsciente, la parte de ti que gobierna la mayoría de tus acciones y comportamientos.
A menudo, cuando la fuerza de voluntad por sí sola no es suficiente, es porque existe resistencia dentro del subconsciente. La hipnosis ofrece una forma poderosa de descubrir y disolver estos bloqueos, lo que permite un progreso más rápido y efectivo hacia tus metas. Al acceder a capas más profundas de tu mente, es posible que descubras que los hábitos y patrones de larga data comienzan a cambiar con sorprendente facilidad.
Lo que puede sorprenderte aún más es la frecuencia con la que el trauma no resuelto se encuentra en el corazón de estos bloqueos subconscientes. El trauma, algo que todos experimentamos en distintos grados, puede manifestarse de diversas maneras desde trastornos del sueño y conflictos en las relaciones hasta miedos como hablar en público, agorafobia o procrastinación. La hipnosis ayuda a descubrir y abordar estas experiencias enterradas, promoviendo la curación y la transformación.
EntoncEs, ¿cómo funciona la hipnosis?
Está estrechamente vinculada a las frecuencias de las ondas cerebrales. A continuación, se muestra un desglose simplificado de tres estados clave:
Ondas beta: están activas cuando estás despierto y concentrado,
Text by | Texto por LIESBET PRYKE, CHt.
Theta waves: These are slower, deeper brainwaves associated with heightened suggestibility, creativity, and intuition—a fertile ground for finding solutions and releasing limiting beliefs.
As a hypnotist, my role is to guide you gently into these slower brainwave states, where your mind is more receptive to change. In this space, you can uncover answers, dissolve resistance, and rewrite unhelpful programming. As you might imagine, one of the common responses immediately after a session when I ask how a client is feeling is: “I feel so relaxed”!
Adding Biofield Tuning to the process can both speed up the process of getting into these states as well as amplify these effects, creating a profoundly transformative healing experience. By working with the energetic field surrounding the body, this modality helps restore balance and harmony, smoothing the release of emotional and mental patterns. Together, these approaches work synergistically both within your mind and energy field to unlock your potential, creating lasting change and personal growth.
como mientras lees esto. Una actividad beta alta puede provocar estrés, ansiedad y dificultad para relajarse.
Ondas alfa: promueven una relajación profunda y actúan como un puente hacia tu mente subconsciente. Se accede a este estado comúnmente durante la meditación o la hipnosis y es ideal para la transformación.
Ondas theta: son ondas cerebrales más lentas y profundas asociadas con una mayor sugestibilidad, creatividad e intuición, un terreno fértil para encontrar soluciones y liberar creencias limitantes. Como hipnotista, mi función es guiarte suavemente hacia estos estados de ondas cerebrales más lentas, donde tu mente es más receptiva al cambio. En este espacio, puedes descubrir respuestas, disolver la resistencia y reescribir la programación inútil. Como puedes imaginar, una de las respuestas comunes inmediatamente después de una sesión cuando pregunto cómo se siente un cliente es: “¡Me siento tan relajado!”.
Añadir Biofield Tuning al proceso puede acelerar el proceso de entrar en estos estados y amplificar estos efectos, creando una experiencia de sanación profundamente transformadora. Al trabajar con el campo energético que rodea el cuerpo, usando unas horquillas de afinación, esta modalidad ayuda a restablecer el equilibrio y la armonía, propiciando así la liberación de patrones emocionales y mentales. Juntos, estos enfoques funcionan sinérgicamente tanto dentro de tu mente como de tu campo energético para liberar tu potencial, creando un cambio duradero y un crecimiento personal.
MARTIN REYNA
Martin Reyna is an Argentine painter, who lives in France, whose work is developed in a landscape key: a way of understanding the landscape from the pictorial plane in a co-authorship between the artist, the color and the water. Or rather, it is the water that directs the form and the color, that takes over the territory of the paper almost to the point of making the artist disappear, far from the idea of absolute control of the painter in front of a blank sheet of paper. “Water is often the painter of my work; it even draws the perspectives and the lines of drops of color or black Chinese ink. Water transports the color, carries it and obeys it, expands it, and contains it”, says Martín Reyna.
Enormous paintings that are installations on paper, labyrinthine forms that are tied and untied under the dominion of water. Color takes over the wavy and humid space, and opens a path that must be slowly followed and, in this way, becomes part of the interpretation.
Martin Reyna, represented by the Parisian gallery APPART PARIS, was present at the latest edition of the PINTA fair at Art Week Miami 2024 where Yachting Times Magazine had the pleasure of enjoying his work.

Martín Reyna es un pintor argentino, afincado en Francia, cuya obra se desarrolla en clave paisajística: una manera de entender el paisaje desde el plano pictórico en una coautoría entre el artista, el color y el agua. O más bien es el agua quien dirige la forma y el color, quien toma el territorio del papel casi hasta hacer desaparecer al artista, lejos de la idea del control absoluto del pintor frente a un papel en blanco. “El agua muchas veces es el pintor de mis obras, ella dibuja hasta las perspectivas y las líneas de gotas de colores o de tinta china negra. El agua transporta al color, lo lleva y lo obedece, lo expande y lo contiene”, dice Martin Reyna.
Enormes pinturas que son instalaciones sobre papel, formas laberínticas que se anudan y desanudan bajo el dominio del agua. El color toma el espacio ondulado y húmedo, y va abriendo un camino que hay que recorrer lentamente y de esta manera formar parte de la interpretación.

Martingale Cognac, a nascent label produced by a legacy, fourthgeneration Cognac domaine, today helmed by cousins Guillaume and Amaury Thomas (the former, a Pernod Ricard executive serves as CEO, and, the latter as Master Blender). To celebrate its one-year anniversary, Martingale, which comes from the Thomas’ 600 acres across the top four crus of the Cognac, recently released a limitededition 375 ml bottle and collectible gift box.

Champagne Fleur de Miraval, a Maison co-founded by Brad Pitt, la Famille Perrin, and Rodolphe Péters, which focuses exclusively on the craft of Rosé Champagne, has released its latest cuvée, ER4 (Exclusivement Rosé 4). Produced from a rich and elegant blend of 75% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Noir grapes that have been harvested in Le Mesnil sur Oger, this Côte des Blancs vintage reflects the chalky terroir of Champagne, France, in addition to romantic hints of candied citrus, noisette, spices and dried fruits. “Champagne Fleur de Miraval ER4 upholds our ambitious vision to produce the world’s most exclusive and meticulously crafted Rosé Champagne,” said winemaker Péters. “This highly gastronomic wine is an authentic embodiment of luxury, excellence, and innovation.”

Champagne Fleur de Miraval, una Maison fundada por Brad Pitt, la Familia Perrin y Rodolphe Péters que se enfoca exclusivamente en la creación de un champán rosado, ha lanzado su último cuvé2, ER4 (Exclusivement Rosé 4). Producido con una mezcla elegante y rica de un 75% de uvas Chardonnay y un 25% de uvas Pinot Noir cosechadas en Le Mesnil sur Oger, este Côte des Blancs vintage refleja el terreno calcáreo de Champagne con toques románticos de cítricos, avellana, especias y frutos secos. “Champagne Fleur de Miraval ER4” sostiene nuestra ambiciosa visión de producir el más exclusivo y más meticulosamente creado Rosé Champagne en el mundo,” nos cuenta el enólogo Péters. “Este vino es una auténtica muestra de lujo, excelencia e innovación.

Moët & cHanDon Champagne Nectar Impérial Rosé, from $55, www.moet.com.
For wines that may have not yet crossed your path, give Donnafugata Sul Vulcano, an Etna Rosso DOC, a try. A unique blend of Nerello Mascalese and to a lesser extent, Nerello Cappuccio, this balanced vintage is produced from vineyards on the North side of the Etna volcano. This terroir results in a fruitfully elegant bouquet reminiscent of pepper, red berries and Aceto Balsamico di Modena; ideal for rich pasta dishes and spicy plates.
For our readers in search of liquors, start at the apex with Woodford Reserve’s Fall 2024 Master’s Collection Madeira Cask Finish (the 20th such release). A notably sweet aroma of mulled oranges, brown sugar and wintry spices is accompanied by a potent taste of cranberries, spiced raisins, and walnuts in this wheat whiskey blend. Ilegal Mezcal Reposado Caribbean Cask Finish is another exciting, limitededition expression that relies on a unique cask finish. A process that culminates in two months in barrels that previously held eight-year aged Caribbean rum. We suggest sipping on it neat with an ice cube. All in, while your wallet may be worse for wear, your palate will rejoice with gratitude.
viñedos en el lado norte del volcán Etna, un terreno que le aporta un bouquet elegante de frutas parecido a la pimienta, los arándanos rojos y el Aceto Balsámico di Modena, ideal para platos picantes y pasta. Para los que buscan licores, empiecen con el apex de Woodford Reserve’s Fall 2024 Master’s Collection Madeira Cask Finish (su vigésima edición). Un aroma notablemente dulce de naranjas cocinadas con especias, azúcar morena acompañado de un potente sabor a arándanos, pasas de uva especiadas y nueces. Ilegal Mezcal Reposado Caribbean Cask Finish es otra fabulosa opción. Una expresión de edición limitada con acabado de barrica. El proceso culmina al cabo de almacenarse dos meses en barriles que previamente contuvieron ron caribeño por ocho años. Le sugerimos lo pruebe a sorbos y con un hielo para resaltar los matices del sabor. Mientras, su billetera puede que sufra, pero su paladar le dará las gracias.
