The words of Andreia Martins describing MBS July 2010:
MBS was about looking at Life from a new perspective, and it taught me to question everything. I learn that truly moving forward is scaring, it’s like learning to ride a bike without help as you have to let go and jump. Most of all, MBS was about learning to find who I am and where I am.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I’m grateful for everthing MBS was.
Next MBS (My Beautiful Self) will be hosted from 2nd to 5th September 2010 in Portugal.

Practices ~ The Stimulating Breath
Since not all of you have the opportunity to attend our retreats, we have decided to regularly share with you some of the practices we hold. This is the first delivery on such sharing.
The Stimulating Breath is adapted from a yogic breathing technique. Its aim is to raise vital energy and increase alertness.
- Inhale and exhale rapidly through your nose, keeping your mouth closed but relaxed. Your breaths in and out should be equal in duration, but as short as possible. This is a noisy breathing exercise.
- Try for three in-and-out breath cycles per second. This produces a quick movement of the diaphragm, suggesting a bellows. Breathe normally after each cycle.
- Do not do for more than 15 seconds on your first try. Each time you practice the Stimulating Breath, you can increase your time by five seconds or so, until you reach a full minute.
If done properly, you may feel invigorated, comparable to the heightened awareness you feel after a good workout. You should feel the effort at the back of the neck, the diaphragm, the chest and the abdomen. Try this breathing exercise the next time you need an energy boost and feel yourself reaching for a cup of coffee.
We exercise this practice in all of our retreats as part of our work with the domain of the body.

The words of Anikó Gulyás describing MBS July 2010:
MBS 2010 was the most powerful magnet I’ve ever felt in my life!
Which pulled 11 of us together from the different part of the world.
Everyone had it’s own reason to come but when got back home we took a little piece of magnet in our hearts which still pumping, growing and hope magnetize us together again…. ♥
