In Stranger tides...

I took time off from the daily routine to travel and visit loved ones and places I’ve never been to and always wanted to but there was always the “not enough time, not enough money, not enough…” excuse. Finally, I was blessed with the opportunity to visit Europe, the old world after my visit with loved ones. I always heard that traveling to far away places broadens your perspective and I now have experienced it. It truly changes the way you see the world in a positive way. It helps appreciate so much more what you have and also learn new ways, culture, food, drinks, language.

Your senses, your energy are awaken by the diverse situations you face - talk about riding it all: buses, tranvias, trains, airplanes - being forced to figure out the new systems, witnessing the stunning architecture, listening to the different languages, accents, lingo. All of this new surroundings renews your energy and fills you with new information. A true “fountain of youth” at your disposal.

You may know by now that you have the capacity to sense into other people’s energy as well as the energy in places, in objects or in nature. While in nature your energy may feel very light and peaceful, in the city your energy may feel congested and while visiting centuries old towns may feel even heavier maybe even depressive especially in towns that suffered from the pains of war whether recently or long ago and then there were the centuries old towns surrounded by nature, those felt lighter, not as light when walking in a forest but still lighter than the towns were no green was to be seen. Those energies make a big difference in one’s activity level. You can see when you would feel more energetic and eager to do more that day versus the times when you would prefer to take more breaks or start again the next day. The towns with the ocean at its feet were the ones that felt positively stronger because if you feel exhausted from the energy of the old structures you can release it all in those calming salty waters, in case you don’t know, the salt in the ocean is renewing and a great way to release disease and old energies, you can also try this at home adding salt to your bath or soak your feet in it. Being aware of your energy based on who you’re with or where you are help you seek what you need to reset.

In picture are small towns part of Cinque Terre (five towns) in the northwestern side of Italy and Florence.

I wish for you unknown beautiful places to enhance your energy very soon!!
