So, You’re an Artist?by Katarina Silva on Oct 8, 2012 An artist is an artist because being anything else would feel uncomfortably foreign to us. Disingenuous. Artificial. Doomed to disintegration. Yeah, it’s definitely an existential thing for me. I express myself artistically, because, well, when I don’t I feel like my existence itself begins to crumble. 836 views |
Beyond Trauma Is Breath.by Katarina Silva on Mar 23, 2012 We can’t self talk ourselves out of trauma because trauma doesn’t speak the language of logic and reason. Trauma doesn’t listen to the intellect. It is primal and savage and only recognizes the most universal language of all languages: that of the breath. 2,148 views |
 When School Goes Against Your Very Nature.by Katarina Silva on Feb 25, 2012 Being a deviant felt so damn good! Yes, we were high school dropouts and proud of it, despite the negative stigma surrounding that label; because we redefined it. 11,409 views |
Ten Ways to Find Out if You Are Too Sensitive.by Katarina Silva on Feb 16, 2012 Hot sun rays squeezed juicy scents from the mangos and papayas and sent them swirling into the air, and up my nostrils. A man played the guitar for change, vendors melodiously announced prices, street dogs nonchalantly brushed up against me as we weaved our way through the bustling crowd, decorated in their Sunday best, sprayed [...] 24,777 views |
Risks in Love, Juicy Springtime & Intelligent Chaos.by Katarina Silva on Feb 7, 2012 When our old ways of living no longer nourish our heart, we can do one of two things: either remain love-starved, or change the way we live. Chaos is often the prelude to great transformations. They say nature mercilessly injects desire into the spring season, and plays with our hearts like a cat bats around [...] 3,174 views |
Seduction, Witches & Long Hair.by Katarina Silva on Jan 13, 2012 Sneaking past armed guards into wilderness forbidden to tourists, I left modernity behind and entered into a remote part of our planet where backward superstitions ruled. 11,127 views |
A Naked Lady: Your Relationship With The Female Nude In Artby Katarina Silva on Jan 1, 2012 She disrobed on the ever-morphing Oceano Sand Dunes of California, sculpting imprints of her soft form in the wet sand. She positioned herself, like a siren, atop the ancient rocks hugging a desolate lake. She let her golden hair mingle with the dark tail of an elegant horse, as she draped her nude form [...] 7,313 views |
Yoga & Falling in Love: Do They Mix?by Katarina Silva on Dec 29, 2011 Love felt too threatening to him. Way too mysterious. It required a vulnerability that made him feel like the earth beneath him was shaking, and like his ego was crumbling into tiny bits of rubble. 1,379 views |
Can You Speak Without Fear? Taking Risks With One’s Voiceby Katarina Silva on Dec 17, 2011 Presumably it happens to us when we are young. With the insensitive words of an impatient teacher, the neglect of parents, the bullying of peers, or that one traumatic event that tore at our soul, or a series of traumas, or even, all of the above! Maybe we can’t pinpoint exactly when it happened to [...] 2,298 views |
When Pain Begs For An Outlet.by Katarina Silva on Dec 4, 2011 It will rip me to pieces every time if I don’t find an outlet for it. It screams to be heard. It keeps me up at night, like a high fever, and injects me with expressive urges. It’s emotional pain and it demands to be experienced! There is no alternative. There is no secretly ditching [...] 2,509 views |
 Nourishing Long Distance Love with Scents!by Katarina Silva on Nov 4, 2011 Smell is so wonderfully raw and wild! I’ve had an enhanced sense of smell as long as I can remember. 1,041 views |
The nitty-gritty on eating disorders, love & beauty.by Katarina Silva on Aug 10, 2011 I used to have this secret little ritual. I’ve never shared it with anyone before. Today I am telling you. Okay, deep inhalation, and here I go. (Oh! And thank you Waylon and JC for the inspiration.) It started when I was fifteen and lasted about three years. I think it was my way of [...] 4,375 views |
The Green Witch of Envy Between Women: and 5 Steps to Defeat Her.by Katarina Silva on Aug 8, 2011 There is a vicious, green witch in the female psyche that persistently incites us to compare ourselves to other women. It demands that we measure our weight, our breast size, our complexion, our careers, our talents, our qualities, our sexiness, our intellects, our wardrobes, our popularity and our whole lives with those of other women. 10,066 views |
Just Make Art to Experience Yoga!by Katarina Silva on Aug 1, 2011 At the height of artistic expression the line between us and the universe becomes deliciously blurred. As in passionate lovemaking, when erotic rapture makes it impossible to tell where you end and your lover begins. That’s when pure pleasure rushes in. A kind of ananda. Yes, there is an unmistakable pleasure connected to making art! 1,146 views |
On Myths and Mistressesby Katarina Silva on Jul 7, 2011 Pure art, like myth, surrenders to the psyche and expresses what it sees without reservation or restriction, outside of any predetermined perimeters of what define our realm of possibilities. 765 views |
The Soul of a Yogic Artist: Karmym!by Katarina Silva on Jun 28, 2011 The marriage of breath with artistic expression inevitably shapes the life of a genuine artist. An artist breathes in their own perceptions and experiences of the world, twirls them in the gestation of their very being, and then breathes them out as art. It is a rather sensual, organic process. 1,362 views |
Savasana Amidst Sharks!by Katarina Silva on Jun 19, 2011 Feigning bodily lifelessness on the sea’s surface, I never felt more alive! I closed my eyes to the perfectly blue sky above me, and the dorsal fins that rotated around me, and trusted that I’d be able to find the bliss in the present situation life had placed me in. 2,276 views |
Reflections of a Chocoholic.by Katarina Silva on Jun 13, 2011 I think we may all be a little biologically programmed to taste magic in chocolate, considering that one out of every 100 people in the world, at any given moment, are eating chocolate. 1,719 views |
The mystical, magical, beautiful, fruitful, juicy, wild, divine yoni!by Katarina Silva on Jun 7, 2011 Etched into caves walls, and sculpted from the earth, the natural female form was celebrated as a symbol of nourishment, of fertility, and of life itself. 4,750 views |
My Art As My Yoga.by Katarina Silva on Feb 25, 2011 I followed my pain, and my pain put a camera in my hand… 2,257 views |
