4 Maneiras do Introvertido Sair da Rotina

Você passa muito tempo sozinho, faz as mesmas coisas repetidamente, e se sente que esta “amarrado” com as suas atitudes e atividades diárias? Existem algumas coisas que você pode fazer caso esteja se sentindo preso a uma rotina. Abaixo, confira quatro dicas que devem ajudá-lo a se soltar mais.

1) SAiA De cASA, mAS DentrO DA SuA ZOnA De cOnfOrtO Uma das melhores maneiras de sair da rotina é se esforçar para tentar coisas novas; no entanto, isso pode ser um pouco demais para pessoas introvertidas. Experimente coisas novas em lugares novos, talvez saindo com um grupo maior de pessoas, mas faça isso dentro dos limites da sua zona de conforto. Vá para o seu café favorito e peça sua bebida favorita, mas na hora mais movimentada do dia. Vá a uma festa que você normalmente não iria, mas fique no canto com um amigo próximo. A chave para este exercício é encontrar o equilíbrio; você precisa se esforçar, mas não precisa se exceder.

2) cOnHeçA nOVAS PeSSOAS DentrO DOS SeuS termOS Seguindo essa mesma linha de pensamento, você também deve procurar conhecer novas pessoas.

8

Inicie uma conversa com uma pessoa amigável em uma loja, restaurante ou bar favorito. Isso ajudará você a conhecer alguém que provavelmente tem os mesmos gostos que você, sem se esforçar ao ponto de sentir desconforto. A chave aqui é ir a algum lugar onde possa encontrar um novo amigo que tenha interesses em comum a você . Isso tornaria mais fácil sua fase de experimentação sem que você se esforçe ao ponto de se sentir desconfortável.

3) eSfOrce-Se PArA PArticiPAr De ALgO nOVO Fazer algo totalmente novo pode ser uma boa maneira de sair da rotina, mas para muitos introvertidos, isso é altamente desconfortável e talvez até um indutor de ansiedade. A chave aqui é você se esforçar para fazer algo que você goste mas nao costuma fazer ou faz muito pouco. Gosta de ler?

Mas ler em casa? Passe a ler em uma biblioteca ou na praia por exemplo.

4) tente SAir DA SuA "cOncHA" Este é outro exercício que pode revelar-se muito desconfortável para introvertidos, por isso pode não ser válido para todos. Forçar-se a experimentar novas atividades que o levem a ultrapassar os limites da introversão. Tente se entrosar em novos e pequenos grupos nos quais a atenção deve estar em você em algum momento, como um clube do livro, uma roda de jogos ou uma “jam session”, entre outras atividades em grupos.

Essas quatro ideias acima podem ajudá-lo a sair da rotina sem correr o risco de fazê-lo ultrapassar seus limites. Se você ainda achar isso difícil, recomendamos que converse com um terapeuta. Ele poderá te ajudar a fazer exercícios mais específicos e personalizados que te ajudarão a sair dessa rotina sem se sentir desconfortável. 

The Dark Side of Self-Improvement Like anything in life there is always going to be the good and the bad. Roses are beautiful and they have a wonderful fragrance.

However, many have thorns that can pierce even the thickest of leather gardening / work gloves. There are two main points that comprise the dark side of improvement.

10

Soul Brasil Magazine © • Issue 99 • Dec / Jan 2019 • Year 17 • www.soulbrasil.com

Art of Living | Arte de Viver (2)

magazine

First Understand that there is no magic pill for selfimprovement. Self-improvement is a process which takes time, effort, and planning. It can’t be as simple as taking the red or the blue.

We are creatures that have evolved from an early man and woman that had to fight to survive.

Therefore, we learn best from pain. When you were a child, first learning how to ride the bike, your parent likely did all their could to prepare you for that first ride. They showed you how to balance the bike, pedal, and control its direction.

However, despite her best attempts at keeping you balanced, you probably fell a few times before you got the hang of balance.

Going back to the bike analogy: that child, be they you or someone else, approached that bike ready to learn how to ride without training wheels. He was excited. However, the first time he fell off, he probably felt a twinge of discouragement.

It’s important to remember that he didn’t approach that bike with the physical practical knowledge of how to balance it. He likely knew how to operate it mechanically thanks to the safety of his training wheels. But just because he could still improve on his ability to ride without training wheels doesn’t mean he was fundamentally flawed. It just means that he had room to grow, and something to learn. He had a way to improve.

Growth

Pain doesn’t have to be bad, nor dysfunctional, as long as we learn from it - and as long as it’s not willfully inflicted on us by others. As you move through your plan for self-improvement, expect to fall down so that you can get back up stronger.

Disappointment Every year we make resolutions, only for most of us to give up on them before February rolls around. You start with all of the enthusiasm you can possibly have to support your optimistic belief that this will finally be the year you accomplish…

Only, in the end, you end up with disappointment as your enthusiasm fades, or you fail to end up where you wanted to be. Understand that while the concept of self-improvement can turn into something of a rabbit hole for us, it can be a powerful tool.

Also, bear in mind, that like the child learning how to ride a bike with training wheels, the point of growth in self-improvement doesn’t occur when the goal is reached. It occurs when we learn.

A child who is learning to ride her bike without training wheels is probably going to fall. For older generations, this entailed some form of knee skinning. Regardless, the entire experience is a teachable, and learning moment passed down from one generation to the next. For those who teach themselves such things, the experience is added to.

We tend to see our goals just beyond our reach.

When we stumble while reaching it’s important to remember that the stumble, or trip-up is a learning moment. Not a failure. The dark side and toxicity comes when we throw in the towel when we stumble rather than getting back up.

Avoid Self-Judgment

One of the fundamental aspects of our humanity is that we feel a need for improvement. It’s possible that this comes from some archaic evolutionary survival tool for ancient men and women. While it is a useful tool, it can become toxic for those of us who see this need for improvement as a flaw.

Soul Brasil Magazine © • Issue 99 • Dec / Jan 2019 • Year 17 • www.soulbrasil.com

As a side note, remember that you are always going to be your strongest critic. This doesn’t mean that you should judge yourself. The process of selfimprovement requires honest assessment, not selfjudgement, and there is a big difference.  11

Um Filme que se Chama “Mudanças”

Por Mel Brazil

Quem foi que disse que mudar é fácil? Não falo só das mudanças de endereço, cidade, pais, mas em como o mundo não para de mudar e de nos termos de acompanhar esses processos, muitas vezes, complicados. Na verdade, usei a palavra complicado porque talvez a gente que compliqua um pouquinho as coisas, mas ao mesmo tempo, se não houvesse esses pequenos processos da vida, que graça teria?

Quando cheguei em um novo pais, Estados Unidos; e em uma nova cidade que sempre sonhei em morar, Los Angeles; tudo era novo, tudo era lindo, tudo era tão perfeito. E por que não poderia simplesmente ter ficado assim? A resposta é simples, mas as vezes dura demais de aceitar. A vida da gente muda porque nossos hábitos, nossos valores, nosso modo de ver e absorver as coisas estão sempre mudando.

E não é bem melhor assim? Hoje em dia acordar todos os dias e ver o letreiro de Hollywood não me traz mais aquela sensação de estar vivendo dentro de um filme, mas de uma realidade. Muitas vezes

12

o novo nos dar forças para querer avançar um pouquinho mais. Minha nova realidade não era mais ser apenas um telespectador, mas de atuar como personagem principal desse louco filme sem tela que chamamos de vida. O cenario era novo.

As mudanças fazem parte das nossas vidas desde mais tenra idade e mesmo assim as vezes, ainda é bem difícil aceita-las, não falo só de mim, mas falo de você também, meu caro leitor. Encontrei a Soul Brasil em uma busca na net, e ainda no Brasil, visitava o site para saber o que acontecia na California e em particular, em L.A, San Diego e Santa Barbara. Como era a vida dos brasileiros por aqui, eventos, etc. E prometi a mim mesma, quando chegasse na Califa, que iria escrever algo com o tema “Mudanças”.

Enfim, tudo que é novo pode nos assustar, nos impressionar ou mesmo nos iludir, contudo aqui entra um outro personagem, as vezes um mocinho, as vezes um cruel vilao da nossa historia de vida: o tempo. O tempo nos traz o valor exato de tudo de

bom ou de ruim que as mudanças nos trouxeram, mas eu particularmente gosto de absorver somente as coisas boas porque as ruins a gente aprende, entende e deixa pra lá.

E ao final de tudo isso, perceber que as mudanças existem para nos tornar melhores a cada cena, é aceitar de uma forma positiva as mudanças que a vida nos traz, sabendo contudo que sempre teremos que conviver com os resultados das nossas próprias ações. Em outras palavras, quero que você escolha bem que cor você vai pintar seu cabelo, que corte você vai querer dessa vez, que estilo que roupa você vai desfilar, que atitude você vai tomar, e continue vivendo da melhor forma que você puder sentindo... a felicidade de ser a estrela grandiosa do seu próprio filme!

Porque esse filme meu caro, esse filme a gente só roda uma vez. Felicidades com o seu personagem, boas decisões em suas mudanças. Tenha um bom final de ano, e um maravilhoso novo ano! 

Holistic Approaches to Anti Aging

magazine

For thousands of years people in Eastern cultures have viewed lifestyle and self-care to be essential in facilitating a healthy aging process. Today, it is very much worth your while to consider holistic approaches for various reasons. Unlike conventional anti-aging approaches, which involve the use of anti-aging creams, serums, or even drastic measures such as cosmetic surgery, holistic approaches aim to target and heal the problem that is at the root of the aging process.

This contrasts with traditional anti-aging approaches, in which it is usually just the symptoms of the aging process that are treated.

This is consistent with the approach holistic medicine takes towards treating any illness, and that is to evaluate the entire and treat the entire person, including body, mind, and spirit.

Basically, it involve slowing down the repercussions of aging in the human body by addressing key elements believed to play a significant role in unhealthy aging and ensuring the patient is returned to or kept at an optimal state of health and wellness.

Holistic approaches to anti-aging are based on various facts. According to holism, it is not possible to remove the evidence of aging by focusing on just one of the areas of your body on which aging has evidently taken its toll. To eliminate the effects of aging you must analyze your entire body's condition, and consider the health of mind, body, and spirit.

Factors that Cause you to Age Stress, diet and sleep all affect your appearance and the rate at which you age. These factors may cause your skin to look unhealthy.

Free Radicals Free radicals are an indirect cause of aging. This is because they cause inflammation in the human body, which, in turn, may lead to accelerated and unhealthy aging. In order to prevent free radicals from damaging the body, you must consume foods that contain large amounts of antioxidants,

14

Soul Brasil Magazine © • Issue 99 • Dec / Jan 2019 • Year 17 • www.soulbrasil.com

Beauty | Beleza

magazine

which are nutrients that fight the effects of free radicals.

Whole Foods Highest in Antioxidants:  Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries and Strawberries  Kidney, pinto and black beans  Cranberries  Artichokes  Prunes  Apples: Red delicious, Granny Smith and Gala  Pecans  Sweet cherries  Black plums  Potatoes  Plums Remind your that you could also combat the damage caused by free radicals by supplementing your diet with vitamins B, C, zinc, and magnesium. To maintain a youthful appearance it is highly recommended to drink large quantities of water. By drinking water, you are not only re-hydrating your body. Water also improves skin elasticity, and reinforces healing collagen, which will slow the manifestation of wrinkles, and sagging.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids In order to function correctly, your body needs essential fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are fats that are healthy for you, and they aid the cells to function correctly and support heart health. Heart disease is the #1 killer in many occidental countries or it is a leading cause of death in many countries around the world.

Foods Highest in Fatty Acids: Prevention is key to remain healthy and keep heart disease at bay through our older years.

Furthermore, fatty acids support skin health.

Eat grains and nuts such as:  Bread

     

Cereal Flaxseed Peanut butter Oatmeal Pumpkin seeds Walnuts

Fresh produce:  Parsley  Kale  Spinach  Brussels sprouts  Mint  Watercress Fatty Fish:  Halibut  Herring  Trout  Fresh Tuna  Mackerel  Oysters  Salmon  Sardines Foods Fortified With Omega-3s:  Eggs  Milk  Juice  Soy milk  Yogurt And this oils:  Flaxseed oil  Soybean oil  Walnut oil  Canola oil  Cod liver oil Poor Blood Circulation Poor blood circulation is another factor that causes you to age. Practitioners of holistic medicine often employ cayenne pepper to boost circulation. Cayenne pepper enables blood to circulate more freely by dilating the

Soul Brasil Magazine © • Issue 99 • Dec / Jan 2019 • Year 17 • www.soulbrasil.com

blood vessels, thus carrying necessary oxygen and nutrients through the body. Cayenne pepper has additional benefits as well: it strengthens your immune system and thins blood, reinforces the heart and regulates blood pressure and palpitations.

Stress Reduction One of the most important elements in holistic medicine is reducing stress. Stress effects the whole body and causes imbalance that leads to disease and overall ill health, and may greatly accelerate the aging process. In holism, stress reduction is seen as central to healthy aging, and is considered a proactive effort. Meditation, relaxation exercises, yoga, and aromatherapy are often recommended to get stress under control.

Exercise Working out also helps to preserve general health, thus ensuring that you age slower and healthier. Peak physical fitness means the body is in its best shape and able to keep you strong and healthy. Physical exercise boosts the rate of your metabolism, which ensures healthy weight management through the aging years, something of utmost importance since metabolism naturally slows as we age and weight gain becomes more probable.

Consequently, your body will not be strained by overweight and obesity, and the aging process will be slowed down.

Bottom Line In conclusion, there are numerous holistic approaches to reducing the rate at which you age and to remain in optimal health through the aging years. Holistic approaches never just address symptoms of specific health problems, but instead aim to return or keep the patient in a state of balanced health between mind, body, and spirit. Holism targets overall wellness, and when we are well, we only get better with age. 

Santa Ifigênia e a Oração para Obter a Casa Própria Como em todo final ou novo começo de ano muitas pessoas param pelo menos um pouco para refletir e tentar fazer algo que desejam e que por um motivo ou outro não conseguiram anteriormente, segue a seguir, um pouco sobre a historia de Santa Ifigenia, a protetora da casa, e a oração para te ajudar a conseguir o seu proprio imovel! Um desejo de muitos, seja aqui nos Estados Unidos ou no Brasil.

Obviamente, planejar e trabalhar para conquistar é de suma importância. Não há milagres. Há trabalho, poupança, investimento e planejamento. Mas fatores adicionais como sempre ter a melhor informação possível as mãos (ou ao ouvido) como o mercado de imoveis e suas formas de financiamentos, e a fé na oração, ajudam e muito.

Saiba um Pouco Sobre Santa Ifigênea A Oração Ela foi uma jovem princesa etíope que se converteu ao cristianismo após ouvir pregações de São Mateus, e provocou o ódio dos sacerdotes do reino. Esses convenceram o Imperador Égipicio a entregar sua propria filha Ifigênia ao sacrifício na fogueira para aplacar a ira dos deuses pagãos e com promessas de imortalidade ao rei. Com sua fé, Ifigênia invocou Jesus, que enviou um anjo para salvá-la de ser devorada pelas chamas do fogo e a levou ao palácio real.

Nesse mesmo dia, o irmão e príncipe Efrânio, adoeceu gravemente e morreu. Mas foi ressuscitado pelas mãos de São Mateus. Com isso, o rei permitiu a pregação do evangelho por toda Etiópia. Ifigênia fundou um mosteiro e, invocando Jesus, o salvou do incêndio provocado pelo príncipe Hitarco - que não aceitou a recusa de Ifigênea para se casar com ele. Por essa razão a sua imagem de santa traz uma casa em suas mãos, sendo reconhecida como a padroeira das pessoas em busca da salvação de seus lares e que almejam a aquisição de uma casa própria.

16

Nós imploramos a vós, Oh Senhor, para nos dar o perdão de nossos pecados pela intercessão da Santa Efigênia, virgem e mártir, que estava sempre agradando a vós, pela sua eminente castidade e pela sua profissão de todas as virtudes. Amém. Oh ilustre virgem e mártir, Santa Efigênia, me guarde e mantenha prostrado diante do trono onde a colocou a Santíssima Trindade e aonde mais venha a ti agradar.

Cheio de confiança na tua proteção, eu peço a ti interceder por mim junto a Deus, e que do mais alto dos céus se digne a lançar um olhar piedoso para este humilde servo.

Esposa de Cristo, me sustente no sofrimento, fortificai-me nas tentações, proteja-me nos perigos que me rodeiam, e obtenha as graças necessárias para mim, em particular a graça especial de ... (AQUI ESPECIFIQUE O SEU PEDIDO). E acima de tudo, me assista na hora da minha morte, Santa Efigênia, poderosa junto com Deus, orai por nós, Amém.  Soul Brasil Magazine © • Issue 99 • Dec / Jan 2019 • Year 17 • www.soulbrasil.com

The Versatile and Gruten Free Yucca Bread

By Chef Vivien Cunha

This is a delicious gluten free alternative to a bread; made with 100% yucca and olive oil.

Yucca is also called cassava and be found in most supermarkets - and latin markets usually have better prices!. Every time I make this bread and in large quantities. It can be frozen and reheated wrapped in foil in the oven.

Ingredients: 4 cups of cooked yucca (about 3 large yuccas) 1/4 cup of extra virgen olive oil (plus extra for baking) 1 tsp of sea salt 1 tsp of garlic powder 2 tsp of chopped parsley leaves

It can also be used as a pizza crust, just add all your favorite toppings on top, pesto, tomato sauce, vegan cheese or arugula. My favorite is just with pesto and arugula greens and a drizzle of olive oil.

Another great benefit of yucca is that it has a low glycemic index compared to potatoes as they have more fiber and potassium.

Peel the yuccas and place them in a pot with water and bring it to a boil then simmer for 30 to 40 minutes or until yuccas are soft. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the water the the yuccas were cooked.

Pre-heat oven at 375 degrees. Let them cool for 5 minutes then carefully cut them in half and remove the “cord” that is inside the vegetable, you won’t missed it. It is really a cord. Then place them in a food processor( if you don’t have one, use a potato masher, do not use a blender), add the olive oil, salt and garlic powder and the reserved water.

Soul Brasil Magazine © • Issue 99 • Dec / Jan 2019 • Year 17 • www.soulbrasil.com

Blend it all together until is well combined, do not worry if a few pieces are not blended perfectly.

Spread about 1 tsp of olive oil in a cookie sheet or pizza pan and mold the yucca mixture into a pizza form. For llast add 1tsp of olive oil and spread on top of the dough. Bake it for 30 minutes, then turn the cookie sheet and bake for another 30 minutes.

Then remove from the oven and carefully flip the dough to the other side and bake it for another 20 minutes. Add the chopped parsley and cut into triangles.

It can be kept refrigerated for 4 days and frozen for 1 month (if you are freezing do not add the parsley) To reheat, wrap the bread into a foil sheet, place them in a cookie sheet and warm it for 10-15 minutes.  19

Struggling to Achieve your Goals?

(Get out of your Confort Zone - Part 1) We all have high aspirations, however, it can be hard to turn those dreams and goals into a reality.

The truth is many of us struggle to reach our goals.

The reason frequently involves our apprehension about step out of our comfort zone.

It’s true that nothing ever happens in our comfort zone. It’s the place that keeps us in the “someday” mode of pushing our goals to the side until the time is right, for another day or when you have more skills, money, and time.

Unfortunately, “someday” never happens.

Eventually the life you dreamed of becomes a memory, a wish-I-would-have thought. Our fear of trying something different, putting ourselves out there and going for it keeps us from taking action. We let our comfort zone keep us safe.

foolish. So you stay at home in your comfort zone.

Some of the reasons you stay in your comfort zone might be from fear of the unknown, uncertainty anxiety over change, negative mindset, pessimistic outlook, lack of clarity and focus, fear of failing (or succeeding).

No matter what it looks like, your comfort zone is keeping you trapped. You stop advancing professionally. You don’t grow and develop personally. You eat the same way, live in the same place, drive the same kind of car, and associate with the same people.

Your comfort zone lets you willingly passing up important opportunities. Because of this, you

might lose touch with your relationships, your health may begin to have serious problems, and you end up living a life of mediocrity.

Your unwillingness to take action and step out of your comfort zone for whatever reason directly impacts your goals. If you are afraid to take the next step, and never do, you’ll stay where you’re at. If you worry what will happen if you go for you goal so you end up not going for it, then you won’t ever reach it.

When you see yourself struggling to achieve your goals it’s often because you are stuck in your comfort zone. Think about it. If it is the case, now is the time, not next week or next month or next year. 

Your comfort zone keeps you paralyzed from attempting what you desire. You may have goals and dreams but are afraid of the what if is that might happen when you do try. Instead, it’s safer to stay where you’re comfortable instead of getting hurt or humiliated by attempting your goal.

Maybe you’re afraid of speaking to a large group of people so you don’t go after the next level in your career, even though it is what you desire.

You keep to yourself and stay in your current position instead where you’re comfortable.

Maybe you don’t go after your desire to start your own business because you’re afraid of failing.

You stay in a job that you hate instead. Maybe you don’t try new adventures because you have an aversion to meeting new people and looking 20

Alcance seus Objetivos: Como Encontrar Motivação

Por Sandra Domingos

Um dos maiores erros que as pessoas cometem quando buscam atingir um objetivo é esperar por inspiração e motivação. Imagine se todos neste planeta esperassem por motivação para realizar algo? A produtividade cairia para zero e nossa economia entraria em colapso. Como a qualidade da produtividade tem melhorado ao longo dos anos, não é provável que ela tenha muito a ver com motivação real. O fato é que as pessoas precisam fazer o que for necessário alcançar uma meta, senão se sentirão frustradas.

Esse objetivo a ser alcançado pode ser definido por elas mesmas ou por seu empregador, por exemplo. Não importa quem o definiu - a meta está ali e alguém vai cumpri-la. É triste constatar que em alguns casos as pessoas falham em tantas coisas simplesmente porque ignoram o fato de que a motivação é realmente necessária; elas acabam fazendo tudo de maneira robótica, simplesmente por fazer. Ou quando não conseguem, ficam sentados esperando a inspiração aparecer e se perguntam por que todo mundo está fazendo tudo melhor do que eles, e ficam ali... esperando por alguma motivação que nunca chegará. Você pode evitar esse problema se reconhecer os erros que comete. mOtiVAçãO nãO eXiSte Você provavelmente já ouviu falar do mito do artista faminto que não pode pintar ou do escritor com o bloquinho de escrever na mão. É interessante que essas profissões criativas tenham o mesmo mito: que alguma motivação secreta tem 22

que vir para que o sucesso seja alcançado e as ideias surjam. Uma misteriosa faísca de inspiração que fará com que você saia do seu limite fazendo tudo o que precisa ser feito de forma criativa. No entanto, nada poderia estar mais longe da verdade do que esse mito. fAZenDO mAiS e PenSAnDO menOS É Que Se ObtÉm reSuLtADOS Repetidamente é possível observar que as pessoas verdadeiramente bem-sucedidas em suas vidas não são as que esperam por esta faísca milagrosa. São pessoas que se levantam da cama todos os dias, faça chuva ou faça sol, e fazem coisas que levam a um resultado de sucesso. O pintor de sucesso pinta todos os dias e se eles odeiam marketing, contratam alguém para fazer isso por eles. O escritor de sucesso escreve. O médico bem-sucedido atua diariamente.

Se você quer ser bem-sucedido em alguma coisa, pratique, faça. Viva isso. Você vai conseguir.

PeSSOAS bem-SuceDiDAS nãO SãO mAiS eSPertAS DO Que VOcê Muitas pessoas ficam bloqueadas pensando que alguém é melhor que elas, mais esperto que elas, ou qualquer comparativo de inferioridade existente. A verdade é que as pessoas de sucesso não são mais espertas que as outras. Dê uma olhada nas atrizes mais famosas que você conhece. Sem exceção, eles são simplesmente pessoas que fazem o seu trabalho todos os dias. Eles estão atuando em sua profissão, fazendo acontecer, ao invés de estarem pensando em fazê-lo ou sonhando em fazê-lo. Eles vão a audições, passam por testes, são rejeitadas e depois se levantam no dia seguinte e fazem de novo e de novo até alcançar seus objetivos. Este é o segredo. 

Yoga and Meditation is not Only my Career but my Lifestyle

By Elka Haeckel

students and the community who didn’t let me go back to Brazil. My work kept me pulling back to San Diego.

When I turn 23 I had my first episode of a panic attack and consequently, I’ve suffered severely from de-pression and anxiety. It was then that I found yoga. After years of treating my depression with medication as well with yoga and meditation, I was able to get out of the meds (supervised by a professional doctor) and decided to become a yoga teacher in 2003.

Yoga awoke me for my truth and my purpose in life which is serving others. It gave me a feeling of oneness and I was not feeling alone anymore.

In 2005 after feeling stronger within, I’ve decided to take the risk and open my first yoga studio in Ocean Beach, San Diego, used to be called Namaste Yoga Center. The studio was growing so fast that I needed to move to a bigger space and in 2007 I moved to a bigger location.

I also became a health holistic practitioner specialized in Thai medical massage in 2008. The growing of the business was very organic. Things started moving naturally and my professional life was on the rise. However, on the other part, my personal life became out of balance.

In 2012, I went through a divorce and I’ve decided to sell my business to move back to my country and live with my family for a little while. I sold everything I had. I was literally living the practice of “letting go” and trusting that the universe is always taking care of me. It was not an easy thing 24

for me to do. I loved the center I’ve created. It was a beautiful studio, where I put all my heart into it. But it was the time to take care of myself first.

I needed to let go of Namaste in order to be where I am today. I didn’t realize back then “why” things were happening, but today I see that everything I’ve been through in order to live my purpose was a blessing. I must thank my mother for inspiring me with her strength and perseverance to never give up and always believe in my dreams.

I am a Brazilian from the state of Bahia and I moved to the U.S in 1999 to study English and planning to go to college. My mom raised two children by herself after the death of my dad when I was 5. He was murder in Brazil at the age of 45. So yes, I came from a traumatic experience when I was a child but life only gives you the opportunity to grow and never feel pity. Me, my mom and my old sister never felt like victims but as survivals and powerful Goddesses warriors, especially coming from a country that is very ‘machismo” dominant.

In 2013 I sold Namaste Yoga Center and I was teaching all over U.S, Mexico, and Brazil. After four months of living in Brazil, I needed to come back to the U.S to get my citizenship, which was in process, and also because I was still leading yoga teacher training here (USA). When I got back to San Diego in 2014, I was surprised by my

In 2015, I was blessed to work with my soul sister and business partner Anna Fernandez who has always been by my side and always believed in my work. We’ve known each other for over a decade through yoga and she did a teacher training with me in 2013. In December of 2015, Elka Yoga & Wellness Center was born. Anna and I shared the same vision and values with the business. Even though Anna and I are very different personalities, we became the perfect business partners, Yin & Yang.

My vision with my work has always been about creating a community and I am so grateful for all the support I have in this community. My life has been dedicated to my work since then. I truly love what I do and teaching is healing for me. Yoga and meditation are becoming a new medication for the modern world. If we all take care of ourselves in a very mindful way, we are creating a ripple effect out into the world. It is a collective benefit because we are all connected, we are all one.

I never give up my dreams. I am proud to say that I started teaching yoga “by the bay” with no money and with the help of friends and family, and I was able to open my first center with only $10,000 investment. Today I live my purpose which is love and serving others. I always say "teaching is healing". 

* Elka Haeckel is the co-owner of Elka Yoga and Wellness Center (EYWC), a fitness and yoga center as well an educational sanctuary, located in Point Loma, San Diego, California.

Como Viver o Amor na Nova Era Por Simone Arrojo

Toda a paz ou guerra começa dentro do que cada um viveu na relação com seus pais. Se conseguirmos amar nossos pais e aceitar tudo que vivenciamos com eles em nossa trajetória de vida, conseguiremos ter sucesso nas relações afetivas, na saúde e na espiritualidade. Ou seja, a forma como nossos pais, avós e bisavós vivenciaram o amor de casal se reflete nos filhos de forma impactante.

Na alma da família existe uma profunda necessidade de justiça e compensação. Tudo o que acontece, pelo menos durante quatro gerações, se reflete nas demais para que haja equilíbrio nas relações. Por exemplo, se alguém se separou de forma leviana, sem respeito ou prejudicando o parceiro, talvez o filho da próxima relação sinta raiva do primeiro parceiro cujo pai/mãe separou.

Com isso percebemos que, mesmo sem saber ou querer, estamos interligados naquilo que ainda paralisa o amor, não somente na nossa vida pessoal, mas como reflexo de gerações anteriores a nossa.

Portanto, faça agora uma reflexão de como tem sido o casamento na sua família através das gerações.

depois o amor. Somente como adultos podemos dar e precisar do outro e, ainda, ter a coragem de criar vínculos.

Em nossa história, vemos que o amor passou por diversas compreensões. Os casamentos tinham outros interesses, pois os pais queriam que os filhos se casassem com alguém por vantagem social, religiosa, racia e etc, tentando assegurar a sobrevivência. Por isso, de forma inconsciente, aprendemos crenças que não eram nossas e começamos a procurar alguém por ego e não pelos motivos mais amplos do amor.

Tudo começa a partir da criação de um vínculo profundo com alguém através do verdadeiro amor.

Esse vínculo só pode ser criado quando nós podemos reconhecer, em primeiro lugar, nossa humanidade e concordar com ela. Quem não faz esse movimento, vive no amor romântico, cego e infantil. Um amor

imaturo vem de uma alma imatura, que ainda não entende a realidade de uma dimensão maior.

Nessa dimensão mais ampla aceitamos nossos pais enquanto seres com erros e acertos, o que nos conecta com o grande plano divino que tudo sabe.

Com isso, saímos da inocência do romantismo sobre a vida e podemos viver algo real incluindo a espiritualidade que nos mostra uma realidade de cura. Reconhecemos que o que recebemos dos nossos pais foi suficiente. O que foi recebido, se aprende a conquistar.

O amor da nova era exige mudança de frequência de consciência, trabalho interno, meditação. Exige compreensão sobre nossos laços familiares, respeito, inclusão, equilíbrio. Tudo isso é ordem; a ordem que vem antes do amor. Conectado com o plano espiritual, você poderá encontrar alguém que vibre na mesma frequência e propósito que você. 

Imagine um casal que se relacionou em todos os níveis (sexual, emocional, financeiro e espiritual), de forma tão linda e sagrada que esse filho se sente tão amado e equilibrado, que pode passar isso adiante.

Um ser que vem de uma família assim será quem na sociedade? Como vai exercer sua profissão? Como vai cuidar da natureza? Como vai se relacionar com amigos? E quem ele vai procurar como parceira ou parceiro?

Bert Hellinger, criador da Constelação Familiar, descobriu muito sobre as dinâmicas ocultas que impedem o amor verdadeiro de fluir. A primeira delas é: não existe amor sem ordem. Primeiro a ordem,

Is Staying in your Comfort Zone Holding you Back?

(Get out of your Confort Zone - Part 2) We’ve heard a lot about getting out of our comfort zone, right? But have you ever thought about why you should? After all, our comfort zone is where we feel in control and safe. It’s where we can predict what will happen and how we will feel. There won’t be any surprises, that we can’t deal with.

So why would you feel compelled or even want to get out of your comfort zone? You need to do it because getting out of your comfort zone is the key to your personal growth and happiness.

Stepping out of that zone helps you build up your self-confidence and the way you view yourself.

Is being there holding you back for living a fulfilled life and growing in our career? The answer is yes.

Being in your comfort zone and staying there is keeping you from realizing and achieving what you desire. Staying safely within your comfort zone keeps you from being challenged and you don’t have to rise to any new occasions.

2. You comfort zone is keeping you from being

happy. Maybe you struggle with self-confidence and self-esteem issues. These problems can grow unless you take steps outside your comfort zone to begin addressing them. Stepping outside your comfort zone helps you build confidence in your self and see yourself in a better light.

When you are confident and have good selfesteem, you are happier. For example, if you’re not confident in your abilities, you tend to stay in your comfort zone instead of trying something new.

This drags down your confidence making you feel less competent and making you unhappy.

3. Staying in your comfort zone can make you feel trapped and unhealthy. Often our comfort zone keeps us doing bad habits out of fear. You might want to be more active, run a marathon, feel less aches and pains and go on adventures. But to

do any of these things means doing something that is outside your comfort zone.

4. For example, you want to run a short

marathon. It’s always been a dream of yours, but you procrastinate and make excuses why you can’t.

You’re too out of shape. You don’t have time. You’re too old. But the real reason is because you are afraid to get out of your comfort zone and begin training with a trainer. As a result, you continue to eat unhealthy, gain weight, lose muscle tone and put your dream on the back burner until eventually, you’re health becomes a problem.

When we stay in our comfort zone, we are holding ourselves back from living a life we love, from being happy and from growing. We end up letting our fears rule and settling for mediocrity. Leaving your comfort zone is the way for you to complete your plans and get what you want most, whether in your personal life or in business. 

Here are 3 ways staying in your comfort zone is holding you back.

1. It’s keeping you from growing personally.

When you are afraid of something, staying in your comfort zone keeps you from facing that fear.

Then you suffer from it forever or until you do face it. You stay away from situations that would put you in a position of having to face the fear in order to overcome it.

For example, your fear of public speaking keeps you from taking a job that requires you to speak in front of others, even though it’s a step up on your career ladder.

A Importância e o Poder Transformador do Resgate da Sororidade e dos Círculos de Mulheres Por Tamara Lopes

Mulheres no mundo inteiro estão atendendo ao chamado e indo em busca da sua jornada interna, de pertencimento, autoconhecimento e reconexão.

Existem muitos caminhos e possibilidades de se fazer essa jornada, porém aqui vamos falar dos grupos de mulheres e o seu poder transformador.

O círculo favorece um ambiente seguro para o encontro de si mesmo e o resgate da sororidade, nos apresenta a oportunidade de trazer para o consciente partes fragmentadas de quem somos e com isso passamos a nos sentir inteiros e pertencentes. Nos expressamos de uma forma amorosa, nos sentimos seguras, somos acolhidas e acolhemos, escutamos sem julgamento ou crítica e, em um campo fértil, crescemos juntas, nos fortalecemos e nos reinventamos.

Fazer parte de um círculo de mulheres é diferente de ir tomar café com as amigas, por mais que isso seja especial também, mas em um círculo gradualmente nos despimos dos nossos papéis sociais, deixamos cair as máscaras. Em um círculo, ser vulnerável é um ato de coragem e entrega. Em um círculo, estamos rodeados por símbolos, rituais e cerimônias que trazem o sagrado para cada encontro e com isso aumentamos a frequência vibracional, não apenas de cada participante, como também da sua família, da nossa comunidade e do planeta como um todo.

Participar ou criar um círculo de mulheres também é um ato social e evolucionário, pois através dele estamos mudando um paradigma de separatividade, individualidade, isolamento e superioridade. A Dra. Jean Shinoda Bolen, em seu livro “O milionésimo círculo” faz a seguinte afirmação baseada na teoria 30

do Campo Morfogenético do Rupert Sheldrake: “Quando um número crítico de pessoas transforma sua maneira de pensar e agir, a cultura também se transforma e uma nova era se inicia”.

E por isso é tão necessário esse resgate, conexão, colaboração e união nas comunidades de mulheres no exterior também. É preciso fazer um chamado: como mulher, estamos em um momento em nossas vidas que não podemos nos dar ao luxo de esperar, de deixar os nossos sonhos de lado, de continuarmos com essa visão de separação dentro da comunidade feminina, onde há o predomínio do hábito de julgar e criticar.

Mais do que nunca, cabe a nós mudarmos esse paradigma, aceitar as pessoas como elas são, nos unirmos e começarmos a fortalecer o nosso ser e a nossa comunidade. Chegou a hora de assumir a nossa responsabilidade e criar conscientemente uma realidade de paz, colaboração, tolerância e amor.

diretamente ligadas e a forma que interagimos é essencial para o nosso crescimento e é um dos segredos para ter uma vida completa, feliz, com significado e alinhada com um propósito. Quando mulheres se reúnem, coisas incríveis acontecem. É hora de unir forças, despertar, celebrar e se reconectar! *Tamara Lopes vive em Orange Couty (CA) e é criadora do Global Soul® Movement, um projeto transformacional para mulheres expatriadas pelo mundo afora; facilitadora de círculos, transformações e curas; arteterapeuta com abordagem junguiana, thetahealer®, terapeuta ayurvédica, mestre em reiki e instrutora de meditação pela tradição védica www.tamaralopes.net 

É hora de resgatar o sentido colaborativo das comunidades de mulheres e reconectar com o desejo de sentar-se com suas irmãs, abrir o coração e compartilhar suas alegrias, medos, sonhos e se sentir segura. Dessa forma, aumentamos a nossa capacidade de sentir empatia e gradualmente vamos nos sentindo pertencentes e melhorando o nosso senso de comunidade. É hora de celebrar umas as outras, ser parceira e colaborar com o crescimento das mulheres ao seu redor. É hora de deixar para trás os julgamentos, as críticas e ver que no fundo todos somos um!
