Costa Rica & Self Awakening

Yesterday I was on YouTube watching documentaries, and one video really started to resinate with me. This man (Mike "Zappy" Zapolin) went on a journey to find how he could develops his mind and soul. He knew that by meditating it would awaken his awareness. But he wanted to see what else can be done to develop his awareness further. 

As the video continued he gathers at a group of friends to come with him on this journey for self development. As they were walking up the mountain, you could see the journey was long but when they got to the top it was all worth it. Some would say magical. I believe the Shaman made them do this long journey, to show that in life sometimes to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it comes with hurtles but to never give up. When the journey ended Zappy wanted to create a place where people can to grow spiritually and to have the ability for self awakening. 

A few years later, he was talking to a friend about opening up a retreat for self development. Then his friend told him he was already I the proses of doing something like that already. He bought a property in Costa Rica. He asked why he decide to open that kind of retreat. And his friend (Gerard Powell)  said because he had drank this medicinal tea that open his awareness to life. And in doing that it helped him stop drinking, doing drugs and let go of what happened to him during his childhood. Gerard Powell felt that if doing this medicinal tea can help him with his drug and alcohol abuse, why shouldn’t it be shared with the world.  

Here’s the Link to Video if you are interested in watching the full documentary it’s about 1 hour long. As usual if you have any comment, question or concerns leave them down below.

Smudging Ritual

Over the weekend my family and I were invited to my cousins, for a house warming party. As I started talking to my mom about what to get her, a Smudging Kit came to mind. Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing commonly known today as Smudging. It’s a powerful spiritual cleansing technique to purify any space or a brand new home. I had so much fun creating the Smudging Kit. I wanted to share it with you so you can make your own or for family and friend. The kit has all the essential needed smudge stick, small bowl, lighter, candle, feather bundle, and a couple pink quartz to spread the love.  I got excited and started to do some research, I want to know when saging first started, what were the benefits, how often should it be done, where can you buy it and so many more questions. I say that it all started with the Native American to bless an area using sage, flowers and other herbs to clear any unwanted negative energy. This Ceremonial Tradition helps any space feel free of negativ...

The Universal Laws

The Universal Laws This past week I really got interested in learning more about the laws of the universe. When I googled it some said there were 12 others said there were 7. These laws are happening naturally if we understand them or not. Even when we don't understand the connection to any obstacles we encounter in our daily life. By not living in the awareness of these laws. you may feel frustrated, confused and lost about your life's purpose. You may feel everything is going wrong for you, no matter what you do, how you act or how much you plan. Things keep going totally wrong. When people start to live their lives with the awareness of the laws of the universe. Begin to feel better, more productive, confident and feeling everything beginning to go their way. If you start to apply these universal laws you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel. So by practicing each of these laws there is such an advantage for personal word.  I'm sure you just want ...

21x21 Manifestation Challenge

A couple of week ago I saw a manifestation challenge that I’ve never hear or seen before. It’s called the 5x55 manifestation challenge. When I first found the video on YouTube I was in the Dominican Republic, so I decided when I got back home I would start it.  Basically the 5x55 Manifestation Challenge goes something like this. You decide on something you want to manifest. It could be anything from wanting a new car to getting someone to call. Honestly it could be anything your wonderful heart desires. So once you know what you want to manifest, you put it in a sentence “I’m so happy and grateful to be driving my brand new car” for example. Once you have you sentence you need to write it out 55 times for 5 days. It’s that simple. To be honest my hand hurt but by letting go of that pain, trusting and believing that what your writing will come. Makes all the pain worth it and fade away.   Since you get the idea. I want to share a similar challenge I will be doing for t...
