Gisele on her meditation A series of scientific studies in recent years revealed that meditation brings mental and physical transformations. The practice of diverse forms, circumscribed before the routine of some religions, gained space in hospitals, used in medical treatments, and even in the offices (read full story). Supermodel Gisele Bündchen told EPOCA incorporated as a habit to her daily life and the benefits it brings to her life. "The first time I practiced was about 25 years ago. I tried meditation for balance because I was really excited and had a very stressful routine. Meditation helped calm me. At the time, also did breathing exercises of yoga, called pranayama. But just spent practicing meditation more often this last year. : "Every activity is a form of meditation" There are various types of meditation. Normally, I do Transcendental Meditation, which is easier to fit into a hectic routine. It is a simple technique practiced twice daily for 20 minutes. When I'm on vacation and I have more time, try to practice something longer, I can sit for up to an hour. The important thing to sit comfortably with your back straight, close your eyes, focus on the breath and try to clear thinking. Help focus on a mantra when you feel that your mind is jumping from thought to thought. The longer you practice, the more you can expand the space without thinking and clear your mind. Buddhists call to calm the "monkey mind" (monkey mind), which is always jumping from one thought to another. Julia Lemmertz: "Have you meditated up on plane" Like any change in life, the practice of meditation is also a challenge. It takes focus, determination and dedication. Over time, it becomes a habit. I've started and stopped several times. Today, I realized that to work for my lifestyle, I need to put the alarm early in the morning and practice before the kids wake up. Usually practice 20 minutes when the sun is rising, around 5:30 am, and 20 minutes in the afternoon, before the sun goes down. I always prefer to be somewhere where the sun enters. But already practiced in many different places: backstage, car, plane. It all depends on where I am. Generally, sit on a comfortable cushion on the floor, cross-legged (lotus position), always trying to make your spine erect. If I only had a moment in the day to meditate, I prefer the morning, thus beginning the day renewed. To figure out how best to fit meditation into my routine, took some time. Sacrifice pays off, because I think it's more important to be able to practice 20 minutes of meditation, sleep for more than 20 minutes. This was the way I found to have more consistency in practice. The >> new ways to meditate With meditation, I feel more calm and aware of my feelings. I'm much more present in any situation. Now, I can stop, breathe and observe the situation before acting. So I can take less impulsive, more informed decisions and thus express myself better. Of course, sometimes even repeat behavior, but I can see the next moment. So I can take faster action to correct them. I believe that all the answers are within us. When we can quiet the mind, we hear more our heart, our inner being.

'I can explore that tomboy side or sensuous', says Gisele Bundchen The model celebrates three years of the lingerie brand Gisele Bündchen Intimates. In an exclusive interview, she talks about the satisfaction of creating pieces with style. Versace to H & M, through Hope and Colcci, the image of Gisele Bundchen contributes much to boost sales of companies. The influence surrenders her leadership, for eight consecutive years on the list of highest paid models made ​​by Forbes magazine. Gisele Bündchen has been the poster girl more than 30 international brands and appeared on the cover of over 500 magazines. Now, the model celebrates three years of her own brand. In an exclusive interview, the entrepreneur spoke about the success of the endeavor: "We have now opened in Galeries Lafayette in Paris , and what was to be a corner ended up being a small space and there its going super well, " she says. The international success is a big step for the brand, but Gisele accounts that she really likes the slower pace: "I like to grow slowly, because I think when things happen too fast you lose much control of the situation. The way I'm doing it now is a little more boutique. So I can give more attention to detail. " Even with the modest spirit, the lingerie brand grows 30% per year. Poster girl of the partner, Gisele Bundchen joined Hope, the traditional company in the intimate apparel segment, to create Gisele Bundchen Intimates. "It's so cool to work with the female body, because it has so many different types of women: sexy, shy, reserved, has that likes to explore. It's cool when I'm imagining the lingerie power to imagine all these women, "says Gisele. "I can explore that side of tomboy or sexy. I think it's a fantasy that have in every woman , " she adds. The businesswoman says she is careful not to flee the style of the brand. "I think there's a line between vulgar and sensual and sexy in lingerie. The image of the entire campaign is a strong woman, a sensual woman, but very chic at the same time, "defines the model. She seizes the moment to finally promote a product entirely hers and has fun with this freedom: "I can be more myself, doing things the way, I think it's cool. I have more autonomy, so it's really fun, " she says. Despite being just three years on the market, Gisele accounts that works by making underwear since 2000 and loves the creative process: "Working with creation, in different ways, is something I'll do until the day that I am not here anymore because it gives me great pleasure to create, "says the model.

Shooting Pantene Gisele with the catfish dude circa 1999

increase in Under Armour sales surprise surprise Under Armour’s Creative Director Talks Fashion and Breaking Into the Women’s Market Gisele is not an athlete.” “Is modeling now a sport?” Those were just a few of the reactions to last week’s announcement that supermodel Gisele Bündchen is the newest addition to Under Armour’s “I Will What I Want” campaign, which also features such superstar female athletes as skier Lindsey Vonn, soccer player Kelley O’Hara, tennis pro Sloane Stephens, and ballet dancer Misty Copeland. The responses didn’t surprise the athletic-gear giant. In fact, they were included as social media banter in a 60-second campaign video, featuring Bündchen, which was released at the start of New York fashion week. This one was also in there: “Under Armour! WTF?” But really, though, WTF? Up until fairly recently, Under Armour didn’t make women’s clothes (it sold a men’s size small to women) and has been historically “just for athletes.” Make no mistake: The company is still going after pro athletes, with more force than ever before. (Just look at its current war with Nike for NBA star Kevin Durant; or the $90 million it is spending to outfit Notre Dame’s football team this season, a deal that used to belong to Adidas.) This week it was announced that the Baltimore-based brand overtook Adidas this year for the number-two slot in highest footwear and apparel sales. Nike remains number one. But with its huge play for the women’s market (a space dominated by brands like Lululemon) and the highest-paid model in the world on its team, it could be anyone’s game for the taking. Meanwhile, the Bündchen video, which has been out a little over a week, has received more than 1,563,562 hits on YouTube. We touched base with Under Armour’s SVP and executive creative director, Leanne Fremar, to find out what’s next on its global takeover agenda, why Gisele, and what other supermodels the brand is going after. Here’s what she had to say. Why Gisele? I realize she is certainly athletic, but she is not a professional athlete like the rest of the campaign stars. Gisele is the latest addition to our constellation of Women of Will, as we call them, but she is not the only story. We wanted to feature a story about an athletic female, a woman who is obviously very well regarded in her field and also an incredible mother, wife, sister, philanthropist, daughter, etc. We just thought she would be an interesting choice. Are you going after more top models or women of influence in the fashion world? We don’t have further plans to feature any additional professional models. We want to highlight women from a diverse group of backgrounds. How is the campaign affecting women’s sales? We have seen an incredible increase in sales. Lots of items featured in the campaign are doing really well, like the Eclipse Bra Gisele wears in the film and the Seamless Plunge Sports Bra that Misty Copeland has on. The printed leggings are also getting a terrific response. And the Speedform shoe Gisele wears has been doing extremely well in all colors. Was it intentional to make this announcement during New York fashion week? What was the thought there? Yes, we chose to reveal Gisele’s digital experience and 60-second film close to NYFW. We wanted to celebrate a very contradictory side of Gisele and also of Under Armour. She is seen at fashion week with full hair and makeup on the runway, which is not necessarily an image that you can relate to. We juxtaposed that Gisele to the one in the video, looking very raw and bare in a studio, where she is working out really hard and sweating and kicking and planking and really being herself. That was one contradiction. The other is that people have always thought of Under Armour as only a men’s brand or only an athlete brand. This was an opportunity to talk to women who enjoy sports and athleticism as part of their everyday lives as much as they enjoy things that come along, like fashion week. We knew people would have a strong opinion one way or another about Gisele and Under Armour. As you probably know, a few of your competitors did presentations at fashion week this season. Is a presentation at NYFW the next step? Are you seriously looking into that? It’s not something we are currently looking at, although never say never. Why not? We are just getting started with our “I Will What I Want” campaign and investing in our women’s business and growing our assortment. We opened a store in NYC in April, which has been very exciting for the women’s business in particular. I love NYFW and very much look forward to a day where Under Armour can be a part of it. Do you consider Under Armour to be both an athletic brand and a fashion brand? Under Armour is, first and foremost, a performance brand and an innovation brand. We are very committed to being that. But you shouldn’t have to compromise style for function. Are you looking to collaborate with fashion designers to up the style ante of your pieces? Absolutely. We have had a few early conversations with some interesting collaborators. We will be talking about that in the not-too-far future. http://www.style.com/trends/fashion/2014/under-armour%E2%80%99s-creative-director-talks-fashion-and-breaking-into-the-women%E2%80%99s-mar?utm_source=twitter&_osource=twitter

Many comments were thinking she meant baby news But she tagged Pantene so I think it definitely has something to do with that. I agree, Gisele never publicly confirmed Benjamin or Vivian, why would she now? (But she has looked a little pregnant recently imo). Interesting how pregnancy rumors are starting on Brazilian websites...

2 main reasons imo looks aren't everything for many women and/or some females like to be the "hotter" one in the relationship.
