Yogafest

Well, i knew i had to go there. I knew it was gonna be amazing, and it was.
Yogafest is something that one involved in yoga, breathing tecniques, and  this kind of spiritual thinking must try. It's an incredible feeling when after 2 hours by train and 1,5 hour walking through the forest you finally see the colored scarfs, tents, yoga mats and face this awesome community of people of different ages, but all young in heart.
Nina mentioned that "all of them have kind eyes", also they treat you as you are, there are no society rules, there is no conventionalism, just honesty and immense love to everything around. They don't need alcohol or any other drugs to feel good, they are just happy because they are.

We've tried amazing food, we've visited new sessions, and had mind opening dialogues, we hugged people that we didn't know and said "i love you" to the word, we've eaten blueberries from the forest and sang mantras all together. I am happy i was there, at least for one day.

And wish i could live in the place like that and maybe one day i will come to that. The video will follow later.

moments of life

Since i left Dominican Republic, i've been in a more high state of conciousness, that's an interesting feeling. Feeling that you actually do exactly what you need to at the moment. I've been missing the moments of solitude that i have here, the moments that help you to discover yourself better, the moments when you grow and understand things about the world around you, your relationship, yourself. I've been meeting friends that i haven't met in 2 years, and with some of them it was an incredible vibe- after so many months finally sharing time with the people who are dear to your heart. Funny that some of them i've met only couple of times before i left the country. It feels great to discover St Petersburg again. We had some rainy days, but mostly it's been sunny and nice, but not too hot - the most amazing weather to explore this city. I love going to the new cute places and meeting people that i see for the first time, but we both have a feeling that we've known each other from long ago.
Now that i am by myself and peole that i love and usually hang out with are either not in Russia at the moment or don't believe that "this online thing" works, i take it as it is, and devote this time to personal development and new interesting spiritual growth practices. I walk to my work place every day for 45 minutes(a good workout), and i spend working hours reading books and surfing internet for more new opportunities. Secretary is a pretty good job as a part time thing - you don't need to think much and you can have a computer access - meaning the ability to catch up with friends from around the world that you haven't talked to for a while :)
I visit my parents from time to time and it makes them happy and i am happy to see them too. I do miss a very important thing in my life, to be more precise, someone that is very close to my heart. But i feel i am on the right track, wherever it takes, me that's how it is supposed to be and it's gonna be good.
