My Greek Summer: Chania - Crete

"You are not alone or limited, you have your nice memories from people and places, to go back anytime you like so to help you keeping going." That is exactly the sense that we are getting from the social media, in our current situation, where social distancing is the only way and the lack of physical socializing with friends and family really affects our whole being.  People are posting favorite places they have visited, calming pictures or videos from the nature or pets, or themselves on their younger version, from babies to college years. Past summer holidays is my best happy place that I like to dive in! So, lets take a trip to my memory lane from our last, family, summer holidays in the beautiful Greek island of Crete.

Is this virus a spiritual wake up call?

For most of the people in the world, what we are going through at this point of time is a confusing feeling that they cannot explain, therefore feelings of fear, depression, and anxiety are growing into them. For those that are more spiritual connected with the world, their selves, and are seeing things through a different spectrum, it is a time of personal growth, awaking, and unity. Everyone now has the power to either spread the fear or spread the light and love. As Sahara Rose, an expert in mind and body, Ayurveda specialist, and approved by the master Deepak Chopra with hundreds of followers, says at her latest newsletter "In times of fear, we are meant to embody the sun."

Self-care is not selfish, is vital

☆Self care had never been my first priority. Although I was always interesting in reading and researching about this topic, and after I would go and suggest to my friends and love ones ways to love and taking care of them selves, I wouldn't actually applying to myself what I was preaching. That sounds like a fraud, right? But so many people do the same. They put themselves last on the list sometimes forever and sometimes until the red flags are so profound that they can't escape and it is time to face the problem right in the eyes.

Understading America

Wow, life really took over me. But here I am! Back after ONLY 8 months of absence. In between those months we have celebrate here the coming of Autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas, Diwali, Super Bowl and Chinese New Year. In the States everything is a big reason to celebrate, and you can't escape, because you will see it, hear it, smell it, eat it, wear it... The moment one celebration ends, another find its way on the selves of the grocery shops. Anything for a celebration and for spending some cash, mainly! And although you know it is all part of the marketing game you grow to love it, and to crave it. Because in the end, it is all about the memories and the moments you get to built.

How acupuncture helped me

I love alternative medicine. I am fascinated about ancient civilizations and the healing methods they were using. Uses of herbs, flowers, spices, oils, meditation, natural approaches. Massages and therapies used as natural healers. Emotional healing and physical healing is possible through these path. Because most of the time these two are connected. I found that this methods have such a wholesome approach with main focus to bring to the person balance on mind and body. So after my great osteopathy experience and still having flair ups with my aching shoulder i reached out to a friend that is an acupuncture therapist and performs a 5 element acupuncture, to seek for help. Little didn't i know what i was about to find out... my shoulder was just an outcome, and outcry of something deeper... I was ready to let my qi (chee) flow!

Our trip to Disney World - How to survive mentally, emotionally and physically

Disney world. How many kids have cried and screamed the lungs out, in front of the camera and then been watched on a you tube video from millions, when their parents were announcing to them: "WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!" How many people they have choose to go there for their honeymoon, birthdays, or graduations? The hot place to be on your school/college spring break. Disney World is the land of our dreams. Is the place where everyone is allowed to feel as a kid. Where the adults are overwhelmed and some even emotional from meeting and hugging the famous Mouse and his gang. The place where all the family members can be happy. But is also the place where the word LINES and WAITING sometimes steal the limelight from the actual famous residents of the park. So if a visit there is on your bucket list of "things i want to do before i die" then keep some notes, and go prepared. Mentally, emotionally and physically. Ah and of course financially!
