I AM WHO I AM

Day 10/30 Day Blogging Challenge. Decem. Latin translation for ten is decem (deh-sem).

I was in such a stupor last night (this Sunday morning) as I wrote my ninth post.  It was so late and I was falling asleep as I was writing it.  It took me so long to post it.  In fact, I cannot believe I did not mention anything about the U2 Concert at the Hippodrome, Montreal!  It will be a night I will never forget. 

It was warm. A bit on the humid side and I could hear the concert from 7.5 km away! There was a certain nostalgia and I could hear a voice say, "I wish I could have gone" (unsaid, "but right now things are tight...and I cannot possible justify this expense").  I want to give more details here but something is stopping me.

What are you afraid of?  Say it, write it.  What is stopping you from being an open book?  Remember all those yoga stretches you have learned and that you regularly practice? You are doing them to help you open up.  Especially the Heart/Small Intestine Makko-Ho Meridian Stretch.  The prying open of the bottoms (plantar side) of your feet towards the sky symbolizes the effort it takes to be an open book.  It takes a lot of effort to be transparent.  

Heart/Small Intestine Makk-Ho Meridian Stretch
 I have always remarked how the great artists who have lived and are still living are great because they pour their guts into their art.  It's right there in their poem, painting, novel, song, performance, dance, lyrics, voice, costume, character, movie, drawing, speech, composition...

I consider Kate Bush one of my favorite artists.  In this very rare interview footage, Kate so eloquently, starting at 0:55, sums up what I wish I could be/do/have,  "I am who I am...I really like the idea of my work speaking for me not me speaking for me...."

Get-Away this Summer in the Laurentians at Chez Mina!

Image
Chez Mina, a  45 minute drive from Mont Tremblant, is a beautiful lake front property deep in the woods of Vendee, Quebec.  Built in 1962 on the shores of Lac de la Sucrerie , it has always been a place for the Gualtieri, Piccolo and Toppetta siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends to share quality time together and create lasting memories. Fast forward to 2017, after several renovations and upgrades, Chez Mina has transformed into a quiet and secluded get-away and they want to share it all with you!  Come to enjoy flora and fauna on long hiking trails, swimming and boating in the majestic lake, and star gazing while relaxing on the soft sandy beach. Spectacular views of the lake and mountain region can be spotted from nearly every spot on the property.  Waking to the chirping morning songs while the pure mountain air breezes through your bedroom window is the only way to wake up everyday!

The Energetic Body System - A Simple Explanation

Image
The human being is complex and there are many layers to being human and living as a human being on this physical plane.  In simple terms, we are made up of three bodies:  the physical body, the energetic body and the astral body.  For the purpose of this post, we will focus on the energetic body. The Energetic Body - The Chakras and Meridians The energetic body is comprised of the seven major energy centers called   Chakras and of the twelve Meridian Lines.  The Chakra System is an ancient metaphysical system that attempts to explain our multidimensional existence.   The Chakras (derived from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel) are spheres of energy located along the human spinal column.  It is through these centers of energy by which we receive, assimilate and transmit the life force energy that surrounds us. The Chakra System The Meridian Line System has twelve meridian lines that run through the human body by which the body’s energy flows.  These lines are invisib
