Personal Liberation

Heck with the 30 Blogging Challenge!  I'm hooked, I'm hooked, I have created a new habit! High Five!

Yesterday night I presented my second speech at my local Toastmaster's Club and I won for best prepared speech! High Five!

I dedicate this win to Marianne Williamson whom I quoted at the end of my speech:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate;
 our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. 
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

 We ask ourselves, who am I to be
 brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?

Actually, who are you NOT to be?

You are a child of God.  You playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel unsure around you.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just some of us; it is in everyone.  As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. So it's holy work to move past your own fear it doesn't just help you it helps the world.

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
