Twist and Maybe Shout

Can you use “Spring Clean” as a verb? Well I am because yesterday, I Spring Cleaned my internal body in a yoga class. It’s not as weird as it sounds. In Feng Shui, Spring is about movement and upward energy. This is often the time we choose to detox since it’s following nature’s natural flow of…

Do you love where you plant your feet?

Today is Earth Day, a very important day. We tend to forget what this beautiful ecosystem provides to us, only momentarily remembering global ecology when it hails in May. On this day, let’s focus our energy on giving back to Mother Earth. On the spiritual plane, if you have a meditation, yoga or other intentional…

Did You Make Space?

Spring Spring Spring! It’s what we all are waiting for. Even me, who unabashedly admitted earlier this season that weather doesn’t affect me. Well after this endless NYC winter, it’s affecting me! In Feng Shui, the Spring season signifies New Beginnings. Think of it like a second chance at New Years! Great things can happen…

Singing for Spring

No I won’t actually make you sing, I was just referring to the song in my heart this glorious morning (although feel free to belt out a tune if that’s what you feel!) We’ve waited so long for this day – The Spring Equinox. A time of beginnings and renewals. The perfect day to write…

Put a Spring in Your Step

There’s no denying that Spring is on the horizon. In NYC, we thought it would never come but our unusual east coast patience is paying off. Beautiful sunny days are squeezed between snow flurries and there’s no ignoring the excitement on everyone’s rush hour faces when it’s still daylight at 6pm. Hooray Daylights Savings Time!…

Growing for Valentines

Valentine’s day is creeping up on us. Mixed feelings arise, I get it. But it can be a fun holiday, celebrated however you like. Whether just a homemade dinner or a full blown dinner with a dozen roses, I say go for it. That’s what I take away from Valentines – do what makes your…

No smoking please

It may be a strange thing to be talking about smoke alarms on the eve of Thanksgiving. Or maybe not. When I saw this product in a magazine recently, I was intrigued by its beauty but thought to myself, “Ok, but does it really work?” When I visited the Nest website and watched this video,…

Protect your Noggin

Have you gotten around yet to rent and ride a Citibike? Ok, I know the weather has been less than cooperative with its stifling jungle-like weather, but things should be cooling down hopefully this weekend. Just in time to hop on a bike! But please, please, please, remember to wear a helmet. Biking is great…

Monastic Sunday (lots of pix!)

The craziness and the humidity of the city had us seeking out quiet and solace. We went to visit some friends upstate and took advantage of visiting the Chuang Yen Monastery in Kent NY. We were so happy we did. We were surrounded by quiet and beauty. Our main goal was to visit the “Giant…
