Hay muchas novedades en La Sirena ahora y me gustaría compartir las noticias con la comunidad.

 En la tema de los retiros de yoga y terapias alternativas, estoy trabajando con algunas personas quien me han contactado recién para planificar varios retiros en 2013. Hay interese de grupos en Canadá, los EEUU y Ecuador por retiros en ingles y español. A penas que hay algo confirmado, los aviso por aquí.

 En el Centro Holístico, hay muchas noticias. 

 En diciembre, presentamos una casa abierta y mercado internacional con Bhakti de Guayaquil. Juntas, contamos con ropas, telares, artesanías, joyería y productos espirituales desde India; salud y cuidado personal natural– sales de baño, tratamientos de la piel, productos de Palo Santo y Burt’s Bees; cristales; gift cards por terapia Reiki; y las obras de arte de Janice Betts. Las fechas serán confirmadas ya mismo.

 Adelante, estoy trabajando en algunos talleres que voy a presentar en el Centro Holístico y como invitada en algunas otras locales. El primer taller se llama Las Claves de una Vida Sana y Feliz. Este taller cuenta con información muy práctica y útil en 3 categorías, como Casa y Ambiente, Dieta, y Cuerpo/Mente/Espíritu. Otras temas por el futuro incluyen La Dieta Anti-Enfermedades (Cáncer, Diabetes y Artritis), La Dieta Anti-Inflamatoria, Hierbas y Especias por Buen Salud, Las Grasas Sanas en la Dieta, Cristales- Sus Propiedades y Como Utilizar y Cuidar Las, y Belleza y Cuidado Personal Natural. 

 Estoy trabajando como se dice en ingles como un Busy Bee (Abeja Ocupada) y muy feliz por hacer lo con mucho gratitud por las oportunidades que presentan para compartir mis conocimientos y don con las demás.

 Como siempre, hay las reuniones de la yoga sangha, terapia Homa (Agnihotra), y estoy disponible para citas de terapia Reiki y consultas de salud con los aceites esenciales.

 Uups, casi olvide! Ahora contamos con un teléfono convencional en el Centro Holístico. El numero es (5)2381 344. El numero celular es 0987 267 157 como siempre (Movi). Llama para más info sobre la sangha o una cita, o para invitar La Sirena a dar una presentación o taller a su grupo o local.

~~ Sales de Baño ~~ Bath Salts ~~

La Sirena es tan emocionada!!!!! Después estudiar y desarrollar recetes originales, la producción de las Sales de Baño de La Sirena Centro Holístico ha comenzado!

After studying and developing original recipes, production of La Sirena Centro Holistico's Bath Salts has started!

 

Además de las 6 mezclas fijas, se puede pedir mezclas hechos de encargo con consulta privada. Son todo natural, con sales marinas naturales, aceites esenciales, y hierbas secas y viene con una piedra pómez. Se puede bañarse en tina o utilizar en una spa de pies; ambas opciones dan todos los beneficios de sanación de los aceites y hierbas. Sola agrega las sales al agua tibia, encerarse en el baño para disfrutar la aromaterapia, y relejarse por 20 minutos.

Along with the 6 set blends, custom blends can also be made to order based on your specific needs. The bath salts are all natural, made with natural sea salt, essential oils, and dried herbs and they come with a pumice stone. They can be used in a bath or as a foot soak; both options give all the benefits of the healing qualities of the oils and herbs.

~~~ Expansion ~~~

La Sirena is back, with more passion than ever, and she's been a very busy bee lately.

After the passing of our infant son at the end of February, things understandably took a turn for the dark and depressing for a while, but with lots of love and support from friends, family, my awesome online community, and the yoga sangha at La Sirena Centro Holistico, I am gradually coming to a more peaceful place- my new "normal". Of particular help in getting over the self blame and despair was a book, given to me by a wonderful friend, by George Anderson and Andrew Barone called Walking in the Garden of Souls. Also, an affirming incident with a Reiki patient that was spectacularly successful has reminded me that my true gift is healing and given me renewed energy to pursue that path. Working through the Chakras and Meditation course with the members of the sangha was also healing for me, as well as affirming my path. In early August, I attended the Sadhana Yoga Conference in Guayaquil, which turned out to be much more emotional for me than expected and led to a lot of long hours alone in contemplation and lots of tears before I resurfaced again.

Since my breakthrough facilitated by the book, I have been studying and reading and bouncing ideas around and asking my online community for feedback. A lot of what has happened in the last few weeks has been so natural, so organic, so obvious all along, that it seems to be happening in a dream, but I know it's the Universe doing it's thing now that I am finally surrendering to the flow.

One of the things that I stumbled upon in my online reading and studying was a blog about multipotentiates. I had never heard of that before, nor did I know that that's what I am. I had jokingly called myself a Renaissance Woman once or twice before, with a sad feeling that it was something that hinders me from functioning well in this modern society, but now I know that it's a good thing. I'm embracing my huge potential and numerous talents and moving forward now.

So, what's in the works at La Sirena Yoga Adventures and Centro Holistico? Why, thank you for asking! Here's a list: retreats for 2013, an expanded line of homemade natural health and beauty treatments, expanding the yoga schedule to include pre/post natal and sunset restorative sessions, making my own coconut oil (born out of the inavailability of quality oil for cooking and healing), a book and workshop on controlling disease through diet and supplements, a workshop on 21 keys to health and wellbeing, finding ways to expand the reach of the holistic centre and serve more people, and online holistic coaching services for English speaking clients. And as if that weren't enough, I continue with the gardening, cooking, maintaining the La Sirena Facebook community, and teaching at the local university. I just noticed a theme as I was writing all that: EXPANSION. At the core of all of this activity is the feeling of my heart expanding, my light and love expanding, and embracing more and more people. 

I'm nowhere near perfect in mainstream society's definition of the word, but I know I'm doing just what I'm supposed to be doing, I'm right where I'm supposed to be, and I'm learning and growing and healing and expanding every day. Join me on my journey and let's grow together. Join the La Sirena Facebook community by clicking 'like' on the page, and check back here for updates on the expansion. It's going to be a wild ride!

PS... the Chakra and Meditation Course was such a success that I'd like to offer it as a yearly event. Look for it in 2013 at the Centro Holistico in Manta in Spanish, and maybe even online versions in English and Spanish!

SEE YOU IN APRIL!!

Hello everyone,

I know I haven't been very regular with posts and work for a while now, and that's because I've been dealing with a high risk pregnancy that has kept me in bed for most of the past 8 months. This is why the calendar of events I had originally planned for this spring never materialised. I apologise to those who were looking forward to retreats in February and March, but it just couldn't be done given my poor condition.

I am officially signing off now for maternity leave. If all goes well, my son will be born later this week, and I plan to take at least the first 2 months off and come back fresh and strong sometime in April. At that point, I will begin planning with instructors and therapists who are interested in fall retreats starting in October, and working on the 2013 schedule.

Have a happy spring. See you in a few months! 

SPIRITPATH SHAMANIC HEALING RETREAT

Early Bird pricing extended! Due to unexpected travel this week, I won't be available to answer messages and coordinate payments for the Early Bird deadline. So, I'm extending the deadline for getting in at the Early Bird rate by a week - the new EB deadline is Thursday, December 22nd.

with LA SIRENA and LIZ RANDOL 

Puerto Lopez, Parque Nacional Machalilla, Manabi, Ecuador 

MARCH 19 – 31 2012 

 Release Stress. Create Empowerment, Awareness and Balance

and a Direct Connection with the Divine

Spend 12 days in a tropical beach paradise while experiencing the profound impact of shamanic healing with Liz Randol of Spiritpath.  Nourish your body with fresh vegetarian food and sample the incredible fresh seafood available if you wish. During your breaks from the healing sessions, explore the fabulous beaches of Machalilla National Park, relax in a hammock surrounded by tropical flowers and butterflies, or challenge yourself with one or more of the more active add-on activities, including hiking, snorkelling, yoga, surfing classes and a horseback tour of a cloud forest.  This trip can be as relaxing or as challenging as you make it. Either way, it will be a once in a lifetime experience that you’ll never forget.

Using Breathwork and Acupressure to work in the TRANCE state in order to connect with the DIVINE, Liz helps you to release old imprints and patterns from the past, heal old issues and blocks, and empower and strengthen yourself to move into the place of healing in order to move forward with the mission you came into this life to fulfill. She will help you release any past life blocks and memories that stand in your way. 

Say yes to nurturing your spirit, changing your life, and moving forward with joy. Join us on this voyage of self discovery and healing. We’re waiting for you with open arms and hearts.
