Life in Douro 🍇

This is it. The big day is tomorrow
I have invested my hours into training, showed up for myself, planned carefully, and am now gradually detaching from the outcome and expectations.

At the end of the day, the run is not about the numbers; it’s about the purpose.

I have to say, these past months, this preparation routine has served as a purpose to go through a very difficult period in my life. Tomorrow, I will honor the discipline I have cultivated during this time.

//Beyond wine//

The Douro Valley is one of the oldest wine regions in the world, known for its production of Port wine. Its history dates back centuries, with vineyards terraced along the steep slopes of the Douro River.

That being said, my mission is to introduce people to the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of Douro for those who are not only into wine but also into mindfulness. Nature is free therapy for our nervous system, and combining this with yoga allows you to reap the best benefits.

Looking for private/group yoga classes in Douro Valley?

Dar prieš metus mano mintyse, kūne ir sieloje buvo vienas kilnus tikslas - nubėgti pusmaratonį ir surinkti lėšų vardan mamų emocinės sveikatos projektui Mama mums rūpi, ir mums tai pavyko!

Galbūt TAU šiandien reikia šio priminimo...
Jei turi tikslą, bėk link jo... Neišeina? Eik link jo. Nesigauna? Šliaušk! Nepatogu? Atsigulk tikslo kryptimi ir sukaupk visas jėgas, kol galėsi vėl judėti link jo. Jei viską padarei, kaip suplanavai - paleisk ir pasitikėk visata, ji tau parodys teisingiausią kelią 🙏

Let's delve into the heart of consistency because, let's be honest, we've all been there. How many times have you promised yourself to roll out your yoga mat this week? And how often did procrastination sneak in, disrupting your plans?

Consistency isn't just about possessing strong willpower, it's about being real with yourself. Whether you're experimenting with new things on or off your yoga mat—maybe extending your practice time, adding extra minutes for meditation, or delving into breathwork—we often start with enthusiasm only to find ourselves succumbing to procrastination.

The real game-changer lies in asking yourself a few crucial questions before you even start:

Are you genuinely prepared to invest your time and give 100% of your energy to this commitment?
Is the process itself intriguing to you, or are you solely fixated on the outcome?

The secret to consistency unfolds in these questions and your honest answers. We've all made promises and faced setbacks, but the key is to reflect on your journey before taking that initial step.

It's not just about willpower, it's about having the courage to look within and navigate the twists and turns of your yoga journey.

Here's to honest reflections for a good start and enjoyable process!🌟

If you could choose between living in nature or in the city, which would you prefer? 🍇🏙️

Sometimes I get lost in contemplating what I prefer: city or countryside life. I love the lively vibes of big cities; I’ve experienced the energy of London and Lisbon. 🌆 I cherish the diversity in big city living—all the choices, all the opportunities at your fingertips. Cities inspire. They make you to run faster, reach higher, dream bigger.

But…

I love waking up in the morning hearing birds breaking into song in the nearby forest 🌳I love to see the sun rise over the mountains 🌅I love the thought of being barefoot 24/7, forgetting shoes are socially required. I like the freedom of simplicity. Nature inspires. It makes us slow down, appreciate the little things. ❤️

So what would you choose: city or countryside life? Maybe a bit of both? 😉

On my journey of helping people unearth their calling, I've immersed myself in this concept of Dharma. Dharma isn't just about pinpointing your talents and passions; it's about positively impacting the world and society, contributing your unique gifts.

I've stumbled upon a sort of magical Dharma formula: Passion + Skills + Usefulness + Compassion = Dharma.

Trust me, each of us carries hidden skills, passions, and untapped potential. You might not see them right away, but they're always there, waiting to be discovered. As we embark on the quest to uncover our purpose, we often try new things, hoping to master them instantly. If we don't, it's not because we lack expertise; it's that we haven't given enough room for exploration and connection with our true calling. We just need to keep going to gain the experience we're seeking.

In my experience, many people successfully identify their passions and skills, but what's frequently missing for truly embracing their Dharma is infusing compassion and usefulness. Compassion is that deep inner pain, longing to be seen and heard.If you're unsure how to tap into your compassion, reflect on moments when you felt lost or in need; there, you'll find the key to unlocking your compassion.

I distinctly recall a session with a few friends who hesitated when I encouraged them to follow the pain in their hearts to connect with their compassion. They told me, "But Raimonda, I don't want to go there." It hit me hard that many of us shy away from living our calling because we fear delving into our innermost vulnerabilities—it's like reopening an old wound. Yet, it's often within those vulnerable spaces that we uncover the genuine essence of our Dharma.

If you know your passions and skills - great, you know what you love! But if you connect your talents and passions to your compassion and make it useful - that's your purpose, not just a hobby.
