  • The sun benefits us in a number of ways. The sun delivers heat, raising core body temperature. Higher core body temperatures facilitate increased cell function and higher energy. This increases our detoxification and purification systems. Sun also regulates our natural biorhythm cycles. Boosted core temperatures increase cortisol levels during the day, ushering more relaxation and deeper sleep during the night.

Love hate relationship

I don’t know if you have ever been in love before but it is one of the best things in life you will ever hate!
It will take you to extreme highs …. yet is has the power to take you lower than you ever thought possible.
After having her heart crushed during her childhood, Sandy Weis received these words of wisdom from her mother…
“It is a wonderful thing to love and to go for it with all your heart and soul, sweetheart, even when you don’t feel strong enough to. Don’t lose that. To let yourself fall in love completely regardless of what might happen is something that is very precious.”
And then she told me of a quote, “Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time. –Maya Angelou”.

Tony Robbins Burns 21 People During The Firewalk Challenge During Awaken The Giant Within

 

World renowned self-help mogul Tony Robbins firewalk challenge is responsible for injuring 21 people during his Unleash The Power Within Event this week.
Walking across hot coals on lanes measuring 10 feet long and heated to between 1,200 to 2,000 degrees provides attendees an opportunity to “understand that there is absolutely nothing you can’t overcome,” according to the motivational speaker’s website.

Robbins Research International said in a written statement that 6,000 attendees of the event walked across the coals Thursday.
Organizers had an “open burn permit” and medical staff at the event, and there was also a fire inspector on the scene, Williams said.
“Once they (the medical staff) became overwhelmed, our inspector called for us,” Williams said.
Witness Jonathan Correll told the San Jose Mercury News that he “heard wails of pain, screams of agony.”

Tony Robbins’ fire walk experiences goes wrong; 21 burned on hot coals
SAN JOSE, CALIF. — He’s known as one of the top motivational speakers in the the world. But Tony Robbins’ fire walk experience didn’t go so well for some this week, resulting in almost two dozens injuries. They trusted Robbins to walk over hot coals …
www.clarionledger.com

“I heard wails of pain, screams of agony,” witness Jonathan Correll told the Mercury News. “It was people seriously hurting, like they were being tortured. … First one person, then a couple minutes later another one, and there was just a line of people walking on that fire. It was just bizarre, man.”

Tony Robbins’ firewalk with me: 21 hurt on hot coals
Tony Robbins suggested they “unleash the power within,” but for 21 people who burned their feet walking over hot coals, it was more about cooling their heels in a fountain. Police treated the nearly two dozen people for burns to their feet on Thursday …
www.globalpost.com

On his website, Robbins suggests the “Firewalk Experience” is step 1 of his “four steps to transformation.”
“Once you start doing the impossible (or at least what you thought was impossible), you can conquer the other fires of your life with ease,” the website says.
There are those who succeeded in San Jose, the Mercury News reported.
Yet, others crossed the coals unscathed at first, but then dipped their feet in a nearby fountain after blisters started to appear.
Some people went to their hotel rooms and called 9-1-1.
“It seemed abnormal that so many got hurt,” one witness told

I just hope that this does not turn people away from giving this a try.  I have never personally tried this but I can imagine how powerful you must feel after you have accomplished something like this.

Keep in mind that there were over 6000 people there.  21 out of 6000 aint to bad.  Especially considering he has been doing this for over 30 years.

Has any of you ever tried the firewalk experience with Anthony Robbins?

Would you ever try it?

Do you think this will hurt Tony’s reputation at all or will he bounce right back after something like this?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Stephen R. Covey's Death – Bicycle Accident At Age 79

Stephen R. Covey dies at the age of 79.  He was one of my favorite authors.
The One about Stephen R. Covey
I am sure you have heard of “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”.  A book everyone should have on their shelve’s.
I was extremely shocked to hear that Stephen Covey would not make a full recovery from his bicycle accident.
 

The cause was complications from injuries sustained in a bicycle accident, said Debra Lund, a spokeswoman for the Utah-based FranklinCovey leadership training and consulting company he co-founded.
In April, Covey lost control of his bike while riding down a hill in Provo, Utah. He was hospitalized for two months with a head injury, cracked ribs and a partly collapsed lung but “never fully recovered,” Lund said Monday.

What a bokeh ! Thanks to the lights of the scene that was on the grand place of Brussels.
Thanks also to the model, Faustine, and her fresh make-up from MAC.
About the light. Keeping the flash on-camera is getting frustrating.
I’d love to buy a cactus v4, but actually, i can’t find out if the cactus worth it or if a second 580ex II as a master would be handsomer.
Guess I will probably go for a simple cord. My wallet is suffering.
Any advice ?

Freedom in Exile: The Autobiography of The Dalai Lama

In this astonishingly frank autobiography, the Dalai Lama reveals the remarkable inner strength that allowed him to master both the mysteries of Tibetan Buddhism and the brutal realities of Chinese Communism.The Dalai Lama’s autobiography should leave no one in doubt of his humility and genuine compassion. Written without the slightest hint of pretense, the exiled leader of Tibet recounts his life, from the time he was whisked away from his home in 1939 at the age of 4, to his treacherous escape from Tibet in 1959, to his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. The backdrop of the story is the 1950 Chinese invasion of Tibet. He calmly relates details of imprisonment, torture, rape, famine, ecological disaster, and genocide that under four decades of Chinese rule have left 1.25 million Tibetans dead and the Tibetan natural and religious landscapes decimated. Yet the Dalai Lama’s story is strangely one of hope. This man who prays for four hours a day harbors no ill will toward the Chinese and sees the potential for good everywhere he casts his gaze. Someday, he hopes, all of Tibet will be a zone of peace and the world’s largest nature preserve. Such optimism is not naive but rather a result of his daily studies in Buddhist philosophy and his doctrine of Universal Responsibility. Inspiring in every way, Freedom in Exile is both a historical document and a fable of deepest trust in humanity. –Brian Bruya
