{:en} Every New Year starts with the same hope. Maybe this time it will be different. We write lists, download habit-tracking apps, imagine a more organized, healthier and calmer version of ourselves. What feels like motivation is often something else, like relief. Relief that the old year is over, mistakes feel temporarily far away, as there is a symbolic pause button. Psychologically, this moment creates distance from past mistakes. But distance is not the same as change. When daily life returns, stress, fatigue and emotional patterns come back and the goals suddenly feel harder than expected. Not because people are lazy, but because their behavior made sense...

{:en} Mercury is still retrograde, and the Sun is moving into Sagittarius. Happy Birthday to all Sagittarians! I am sharing my daily astrological insights for November 17–23. On November 22, 2025, the Sun enters Sagittarius and will remain there until December 21, 2025. This period activates the fire element, highlighting themes of vision, faith, expansion, exploration, learning, and the search for meaning. Sagittarius energy invites us to “see ourselves in a bigger picture”—in other words, a journey begins to find the answer to why we live. Below, you will find the specific impact of this transit for each rising sign. ♈ Aries Rising As the Sun enters Sagittarius, your 9th house is illuminated. This...

{:en} The one that carries us. But do you even exist? Because I swear to you, last night, while I stared into your coal-dark eyes, while you murmured my name, while shadows wrestled in sweat and breath and some quiet apocalypse rose from the armchair, there was no time. There was only you, and only me. The shadows slipped away, the lights were off, the balcony door open, and the city kept going on as if it had nothing to do with us. The hour hand danced with the minute hand, swaying, drifting. And I’m supposed to take that as proof? Or is it these false whites in my hair, these rings of age under my eyes, my youth leaping forward and landing in the arms of my daughters, the years...

{:en} What to do on a frigid Boston day? If the weather temperature is negative and even the squirrels have retreated to their nests, a few ideas can be shared. My idea is not to have a hot coffee and sit on the favorite sofa and watch a good movie, although it's also a good idea, I will share a great interview with you…  I'm Melda Sherman; I'm here with my first interview for ARTTMODERNMIAMI NEWS.

{:en} “If the mind is the kite, the breath is its rope.” I would like to start with this word that one ofmy dear teachers told me one day. The word Prana, which means breath, vital energy, vital force, comes from Sanskrit. “ayama” in the word pranayama means stretching, expanding, growing, extending/sustaining, and controlling. So “pranayama” can mean controlling the breath by extending and shortening it. The consciousness of 21st century people is so far away from realizing the perfect functioning of our body that we are not aware of what is going on inside our body. We think that our body will always work without even dwelling on...
