A Year Younger Certainly!

Yes, that is how I felt today? Instead of asking " how old are you?", we should be asking,"how young are you?" I started the day as usual with my 5 minute energy routine.
We spent this anniversary of our births by driving to  Chateau Montebello  in Quebec.The picture on the left is of the huge fireplace in the center of the foyer.

It was a scenic drive with the view of the hills, valleys, the Ottawa River and the quaint little towns that we passed by. Within an hour, we reached our destination, the Chateau was nestled in a treed, sprawling estate. It has housed many important events and celebrated politicians and royalty had been past guests. As we walked in to go to the restaurant, we passed the hugest, tallest fireplace, we'd seen anywhere. There were also little boutiques on the first floor.

We went down the stairs to the restaurant , o what a feast for the eyes. The gracious hostess led us to a table that faced the river, told us the delicacies that were on the menu for the lunch buffet and gave us time to decide upon the whole buffet or only the cold buffet. We chose the former. We noticed that there were many Americans, either tourist or people who were attending a convention. The food was more than delicious.
We were not the only ones celebrating birthdays this day, and the staff were busy singing a birthday song in French for a couple of tables.

We had a nice walk around the property after our amazing lunch. Oh, what did we have, you asked? There was rabbit poached in wine sauce, seafood medley, mixed vegetables,potatoes cooked in several ways, rice pilaf,  huge salad bar, smoked mackerel, smoked tuna and other smoked meats, not to mention a huge table with various pies, cakes, mousse, cheesecake and fruits. Surely, you did not expect me to tell you what exactly I ate? Some things should remain private!

We then drove back before the traffic rush began! Then, I spent part of the evening in a thanksgiving meditation, not just for this day, but also for Energy Medicine that have made me feel younger every year since 2007. Any of my readers have the same feeling on their birthday? If not, then do contact me, so that when your next birthday come along, I'll show you how you, too, can feel that way.
My next post will continue with my trip to San Diego!

Eden, Not the Garden but Eden. Donna

A few years back, I heard of this Eden through tapes and videos and her book. She pioneered Eden Energy Medicine, some 30 years ago. As I studied her book "Energy Medicine" and followed her  art and form of Energy Medicine, I regained my energy as never before and my clients benefited from the simple but powerful energy routines.

Eden had combined ancient eastern techniques with the western that is easy to learn. I found I could relate to her explanation and working with the lymphatic system which I found very much ignored in my western health training. I was longing to take one of her live courses for a couple of years.
Then early summer, this year, I heard that she was giving her last 5 day  training in the US, as she was tackling other projects, including exporting this training herself, to Europe and other continents. She could do so as she had trained enough people to continue her work in the US and Canada.

I've read so much about her insights,works and seen her energy demonstrations on her dvds and videos. How real was her happy, smiling disposition? Now, finally, I've met her in person and she even demonstrated the Brazilian toe technique on me. What's my verdict, you may ask? Oh Yes, that smiling and happy persona is very genuine, not a frown or a sad look did I see during those 5 days, and I was on a optional tour with her on some free time we were given.

So this is one of my mentors - a happy, compassionate, gifted person who has transformed thousands of lives through her practice, workshops and teaching. There was a child-like quality about her and she looked 30 years younger than her stated age. She truly has found the secret of youth and joy in Energy Medicine.
Actually, her last name is so appropriate - the garden of Eden was abundant and joyous!

Bathed by the light of Jupiter and the Moon.

As I was walking back to my room after an exhilarating evening class in San Diego, I looked up to this magnificent sight, which occurs once in forty years. The almost full moon was huge and amber colored and just below a very large, bright almost red star, correction it is the planet Jupiter in all its glorious energy. Ahead of me was the waters of Mission Bay which was shimmering with the reflection of the moon.

In the morning, we awoke early as we had an exercise class before breakfast. As I walked to the conference room, I passed a humming bird, some gulls and terns flying around the red and orange bougainvilleas, palm trees and other exotic plants. Breakfast was served on board a stern boat called Belle, docked at the bay.

The six days spent in San Diego was truly a feast for all my senses, while invigorating body, mind and spirit. Some of the participants found it rather overwhelming as so much was covered in such a short period of time. For almost three years, I was preparing for this event although I was not conscious of it then. There were about 120 of us from the US, Canada and Australia. Many came to hear,see and learn from this pioneer and no one was disappointed. So who am I referring to? Stay tuned to my next post!
