My favourite time of the day is breakfast. I always try to organise myself so that I can have a good half-hour to devote to it. I drink a cappuccino, which is essential for me, and I eat bread and jam or bread and Nutella. I could have healthier habits but breakfast for me is free!
Having a good breakfast and taking the time to read something interesting, looking on Pinterest for inspiration for the day, and listening to music. These are all daily gestures that I need to start the day off right.
At this moment in my life I would write - Believe in your dreams - I need to have faith in my desires and my abilities so I need inspiration to accompany me to believe, really believe.
Tarot cards, stones, amulets, candles, magical objects that I trust and draw energy from. I like to perform small magic rituals in moments of tiredness, difficulty and confusion, when I feel the need to find the right intention.
Contentment with oneself, recognition of one's worth and abilities.
I would talk about my family, which is so unique. I am the second of five children, each with a particular path. From my family I learnt unity, emotional connection, but also independence and individuality. It's like having lived in a small society of my own and I think it's a background that has influenced my life a lot.
Magic, I believe in magical powers, mythological beings, gods and energies that coexist and influence our existence. I am often mocked by friends and acquaintances but I believe in it, always have.
Sensitivity. On the bodily side I see it in the quality and perception of movement, and on the emotional side I recognise it in empathy.
Joseph Pilates, because in addition to his discipline, I am very fascinated by his path and intuition. Vivian Maier, 20th century photographer, to discover the feeling of "art for art's sake", and I would invite Sylvie Guillem, one of the greatest dancers in history, revolutionising the aesthetics and perception of the dancer.
I have always chosen and will always choose courage.
Fluidity, awareness, intensity.
