Hello Followers,
Welcome sunshine and June!
And happy Sunday.
You warm my bones with your healing rays.
Dan and I will continue adventuring out and explain what you can do to let the sunshine in if you are unable to get out in the sunlight?
Reflective colors in your home benefits your health.
You can bring their eye-catching effects into your home with your selection of wall colors.
While white is the most reflective color, you do not have to make your home look like a medical facility to lighten things up.
Colors close to white, such as light-colored pastels, reflect plenty of rays.
An eggshell wash or other reflective paint finish compounds their brightness.
Also, do not forget the largest source of darkness in a room may be the floor.
Get a light-colored rug to help brighten up the room.
Will continue tomorrow-
Hello, sunshine.
May your morning rays guide us today.
Starting today, Dan and I will share a new book, Life’s a Journey, not a Destination. How to live for each moment and find adventure in every day, by Vicki Vrint.
Join us on our new adventure in living each moment and finding adventure in every day.
It is time to rethink your routine and step out of your comfort zone.
Life has a habit of getting in the way of us really living.
While many of us are focused on the end goal, the possibilities of the here and now can often pass us by.
It is halfway through the year, and it is time to step out of your comfort zone.
Join us on our new adventure in living each moment and finding adventure in every day with these simple prompts and mindful mantras that will inspire you to refresh your daily rhythms and embrace whatever opportunities come your way.
Music is the soundtrack to life. It plays the melody of our being.
Sunshine is delicious,
rain is refreshing,
wind braces us up,
snow is over;
there is really no such thing as bad weather,
only different kinds of good weather.
NEW SERIES - SUNLIGHT
Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.
Wherever you go,
no matter what the weather,
always bring your own sunshine.
May our sunshine surround you each new day.
And may our smiles and love never be far away.
The truth is like sunshine breaking through the fog.
The sun peeks over the horizon and chases away darkness.
Hello, sunshine.
A tai chi practice involves slow-motion flow and with that comes great health benefits, too, including better balance, mobility, and coordination.
Tai chi (also called tai chi chuan or tai ji quan) is a mind-body exercise that combines movements, meditation, and deep breathing.
The word “tai” means “supreme,” “chi” means “boundary,” and “chuan” means “fist” or “movement.”
Put those definitions together, and tai chi chuan translates to a method of movement that cultivates inner peace, power, and awareness, and fosters overall wellness.
Though there are several different forms of tai chi, its movements include a series of postures that you flow through during a tai chi class with the guidance of an instructor.
While there are many different styles of tai chi, each is based on a standard
set of principles, including:
Using the mind to initiate the movement
Moving with relaxed, loose joints
Synchronizing body movements
Performing movements in circular motions
Maintaining a continuous flow
Tai chi is based on a sequence of movements, which is called a form.
Within tai chi, there are five family styles:
Chen
The oldest form of tai chi, this style incorporates martial arts elements, with kicks, punches, and jumps.
Yang
This popular style features slower, graceful movements and focuses on balance.
Wu
Another popular style, Wu features more forward- and backward-leaning movements.
Sun
This style of tai chi is more dance-like, with an emphasis on footwork.
Hao
A more advanced style that homes in on qi (life force), it is rarely practiced today.
Tai chi may be known best for its stress-buffering benefits, but there are other potential benefits, like soothing pain conditions and cancer-related symptoms, and lowering blood sugar, like other forms of exercise.
Until Monday, greetings sunlight. We welcome the opportunity to begin anew every day.
