Unwind Rewind 84 There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in

As Leonard Cohen teaches us

“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in”

Ahead of Hanukkah, the festival of light , we go back to our childhood dreams, our heartbreaks and connect to our inner child’s wishes. We remind ourselves to accept darkness in order to have light. We remember that we are all equal even if different. That the contrast of black & white is necessary in order to find balance. No darkness without light, no light without darkness.

May you all have a wonderful Hanukkah and get lost in an abundance of light…

Unwind Rewind 83 Slow, Soft & Groovy

Unwind Rewind is here to undo with you… Go from active to passive from doing to being… We pass by the groove and check if our body responds to it… And then go back to breathing… In order to give ourselves and others slowness, softness and to allow our hearts to expand…

Unwind Rewind 77 ‘The wind of my soul’

Today we listen to the wind of our soul. We express our anger, sadness and confusion ahead of Israel’s second lockdown. We feel the music of the south, of the gut, of the heart. We think and discuss Jewish Rosh Hashana and the high holidays ahead during this pandemic… May we all resume our routine as fast as possible… We love routine…. Routine is good….

Wishing you all a happy & healthy New Year 5781. Shalom

Unwind Rewind 70 ‘Home is where the heart is’

Today we are both traveling abroad and journeying within. Through anxiety, worries and uncertainty. Until the acceptance and the letting go of control. Through breathing and meditating we learn to accept what is and enjoy simply being. As everything in life, we learn that nothing is as black and white as our mind perceives it and we practice the balancing of dark and light grey areas… We end by discussing the concept of ‘home’….
