There are a great selection of retreats and workshops throughout the year all focusing on helping to restore the whole of you from the mental, physical and emotional aspects of who you are. Part of that process is obviously from the food you consume, and Andrea is an absolute whiz in the kitchen. (Look out for one of her delicious recipes in our previous issue) If you want to continue with the fantastic, nutritious meals when you return home you can book a healthy cooking session with Andrea who will help to get you started with loads of tips and her website is packed with ideas and recipes too so you can be sure that you are going to be spoilt when it comes to tickling your taste buds. Nature is a wonderful healer and before you read below, Silent Meditation Walks and wonder what that is, let me explain. In our day to day life we are often communicating be that through voice, social media, telephones whatever, the point is, when do we ever stop to listen to ourselves, to our surroundings, when was the last time you became aware of your beating heart? Walking in silence is not about being antisocial it is about allowing yourself to think, clear your mind, tune into the sounds around you, the natural sounds. Birds singing, trees moving in the wind, the flow of water, the ground under your feet, your breath. All sounds lost in the madness of day to day living. You will be amazed at how good you feel as you walk. Stresses fall away, big problems, with the space to see them, suddenly become much smaller. You cleanse your mind, you take deeper breaths, and you start to feel good, really good! When you return from a silent walk you feel wonderful, so do try it! Here are two people who do not want to just give you a short window into a relaxed life, they want to guide you on your journey and stay with you. Their own personal motivation is to see you succeed in being who you deserve to be, so, whatever your situation, a seasoned retreat goer or a first time, check out their website and get yourself a boost of positivity and healing and if you want to try it out, why not book onto the weekend retreat in November? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You can book your space by going to the website. www.andreabalazs.com/events/2014/11/fall-cleanse-yoga-retreat-in-hungary www.internationallifestylemagazine.com
