This week in focus
A Visual Love Poem

Housed in the (Cluny) Medieval museum in Paris, this series of tapestries has been, from my point of view, sadly misinterpreted as representing the senses, rather than as a metaphorical representation of incomparable comparison in visual poetry depicting how nothing compares to the charms and delights of the rich purity of love - a troubadour poetic testament to the flourishment evident of the times, and here captured in a manner that no words may ever be able to express in delight-filled awed visual adoration.

A mon seul désir
(My Only Desire)

Yes, indeed, each of the senses is depicted... as simple proof of that to which each sense is both compared to, and cannot compare to her charms - somewhat reminiscent of Shakespeare’s most admired sonnet, yet in my heart never quite matching the visual love captured by the tapestries…

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Compare: no music may compare to thy voice;

…no tastes compares to thee:

no flower to thy smell:

no beauty to the sight of your purity:

and no touch to thine:

Dive in to your own inner journey

Spiritual Awakening & Formation

Personal Development, Integration, and Personal Healing practices have traditionally focussed on spiritual formation which includes facing and coming to terms with one’s own life-journey.

In the manner that I work, I include practices inclusive of imagery and meditation, the uses of certain extracts such as Blue Lotus and Cacao preparations, and some suggested movements and/or Breathwork. If you are interested in finding out more, please be in contact.

There are two forms this work takes:

a) intense session using ceremonial style Cacao and Blue Lotus (exchange is $590 individuals; $700 couples; $210 pp for groups of between 7 and 15). Each session lasts between 2-6 hours;

b) following an initial consultation, deepening work requires commitment for a once-a-month meeting for either 6 or 12 months (renewable if desired) - exchange is $260 per session, each approximately 1-2 hours.

ASEA

Redox Supplement & Renu28

Much research has emerged over the last two decades on the functions of redox processes in maintaining cellular health. ASEA products delivers redox molecules that assist in this very process!

800% Increase in Glutathione Efficacy

Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) performed in vitro tests to determine the antioxidant efficiency of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD).

The results showed significant, well-defined effects. The cell extracts exposed to ASEA Redox Supplement exhibited 8 times the antioxidant efficiency for GPx, and 5 times antioxidant efficacy for SOD. This efficiency was evident especially at low-level concentrations of ASEA Redox Supplement, tested down to 2.5% of full strength.

That’s it for this week.
