I am grateful for the simplicity of David's explanation in this clip entitled "why meditate?"

website struggle

It is such a struggle for me to keep my website www.studiofrid.se updated. I am in a steep learning curve right now and mentally resisting.
Many new events need to be added and moved around. "This one woman show" called Studio Frid sure needs a director. I sometimes feel like Basil Fawlty running like a mad woman from one task to the next. Maybe Basil is not such a good role model!! It's just the feeling of chaos that grips me from time to time! What to do?.....just breath.

re-activated blog!

It feels like the right time to re-activate this blog. It dried up completely last year.
It's just so much easier to write about the retreat at Cas Bernats than to talk constantly about it and each time I describe it, it loses just a little of the magic.
Saturday to Tuesday I was joined by 16 enthusiastic and energetic women for a retreat that I glibbly called "eat,pray,love". Cas Bernats is not a difficult venue to fall in love with. An environment that has all the ambience and beauty you could ever want (well in my world anyway). Located in the foothills overlooking Port Soller on the island of Mallorca. All rooms are tastefully decorated and scattered throughout this restored "finca". We spent our days doing yoga, meditating, eating superb vegetarian food prepared by the gorgeous Habiba and hiking in the surrounding hills. Oh yeh, I mustn't forget to mention that we talked, laughed and observed some silence and even had massages.
