Raw Authenticity

The first time I stumbled upon the documentary Detox or Die by David Graham Scott my first skeptical thought was, "Is this for real or is it an actor portraying an addict?"  Then I did a little internet digging and found out that yes indeed David Graham Scott stars as the addict but he ain't acting folks this is his true story.  It's REAL!  

My second thought after watching the documentary was, "This is really DEEP stuff and if it doesn' affect your viscera then you must be dead (like most Earthlings)". 

My third thought was, "This man (David) is authentic!  To put his life and his family's life out there in the media is such a courageous act from which others will relate to, learn from, and heal." 

If anybody has ever thought of or knows anybody who is curious about using hard drugs or is currently using hard drugs this an excellent educational documentary.  Heck, I think showing this to senior High School students would be appropriate educational material. 

If you want to see a great review about the film with quotes, which I believe are directly taken from the film, visit Arts Publications Music and Films: IBOGAINE: "DETOX OR DIE"...: by Adriana Rubio.

I stumbled upon Detox or Die  while watching a brilliant video uploaded/created by JusdRanz on YouTube about  Amy Whinehouse  pre-drugs and on-drugs set to Rabbit in Your Headlights by UNKLE, vocals Thom Yorke.

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
