Apparently personal spiritual guides are around us as soon as we are born and some physical spiritual guides may appear later in life. My Grandma was my first spiritual teacher. She was full of pearls of wisdom. Every morning before sunrise she would wake us up to pray to God. This is a precious … Continue reading Gratitude to my first spiritual teacher!
Intention
The mind needs to be trained just like any muscle in the body. We need to use the mind wisely, otherwise it will use us! The focus should be on Love and Peace. A Buddhist teacher was once asked to explain the difference between Western and Tibetan people. The answer was that Westerners waste their … Continue reading Intention
The Sun is always shining!
Sometimes we forget that behind grey clouds the sun is always shining. Sooner or later it will shine through, bringing something Better. 10 years ago we were living in a seaside apartment. It felt like paradise to walk 300 steps down to the beach. It was my dream location, but unfortunately I shared this dream … Continue reading The Sun is always shining!
Big Heart small ego
I believe God kisses everybody with gifts when we enter into this world. The thing is, sometimes it may take years or even a couple of decades to figure out our unique gifts. Yoga was never easy for my unfocussed mind and body, but my Heart and Soul have always spoken loudly while I practice, … Continue reading Big Heart small ego

I strongly believe in expressing this unconditional Love right now, rather than putting it off; and a crystal clear Love with no agenda means we avoid restricting anyone's freedom. Nature shows … Continue reading Go with the Flow!

Sometimes a serene face makes an advanced asana seem easy peasy, but in reality it may have taken many years of dedicated daily practice. If something touches my Heart and wakes up my Soul, I commit myself to that … Continue reading Commitment to the Heart
The Joy of growing!
I still remember the early days of my yoga practice when I couldn't reach my toes and I would suffer a lot. Yes, we all have to start somewhere! Eventually I learned to change my attitude from resistance to acceptance and I began to love the pain of 'growing'. The experience of pain is a … Continue reading The Joy of growing!
Sweetheart, you can do it!
During the last minutes of the 20th century in Latvia, I was standing under a Christmas tree, staring at the stars and falling snow! The 21st century then started with a magic waterfall of fireworks lighting up the sky. I repeated a mantra to myself and to the Universe, ”Darling, you can achieve anything you … Continue reading Sweetheart, you can do it!

There are … Continue reading Just be grateful
