Slowing Down the Pace of Life

Day 16/30 Day Blogging Challenge.
Today is Sat. July 16, 2011.  How beautiful that each new day of the month matches my 30 Day Challenge.  I just noticed that fact today.  Must be the fresh pond water I swam in this afternoon or the fresh Eastern Township air I am breathing that’s helping my brain be more perceptive.  
City living can be toxic to your health.  The air pollution, the noise pollution, the fast paced North American lifestyle and work ethic based on achieving and succeeding can take a toll on our bodies. 
I am listening to an audio CD called Left Neglected (sorry can’t link it because there is no connectivity in this quaint country house I am renting for the weekend).  Left Neglected is a novel about Sarah, a North American High Achieving Executive Wife-Mother Archetype who luckily survives a car accident and sustains a severe brain injury.  The brain injury is called Left Neglect which means that the right side of her body & surroundings are non-existent, neurologically speaking, which obliges her to be dependent on caregivers.  I have not finished listening to the whole audio but I personally know Sarah Archetypes and don’t know how these ladies do it.  I find it hard to keep up and I have no children! 
This past Winter season I had two health crises and although it was one of the busiest seasons for me ever, I did not come close to Sarah Archetypes, not even a quarter, and I had to  s  l  o  w     d  o  w  n.  My body rebelled on two occasions so I had no choice but to slow down.  Me, bachelorette, slow down.  I own a small business; I don’t run a corporation!  Slow down!?  Can you hear me laugh?   Maybe I'm just wired to live as a Monk in a Monastery.

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
