The Fantastical City Of Light

'The Fantastical City Of Light'

So here we are in 2023 in a world where epidemics, price hikes, and fear of what's to come are the topics most people are concerned with while in a distant European city, there is magic to be felt and seen. Paris, France is a magnetic metropolis alive with regal history and quaint sidewalk cafes offering a unique passersby perspective. The city of light is expansive and filled with curious ideals as love is the French currency and embellished by the eloquent tone of its native language. To sum up, this city of light delivers a sermon of ancient architecture copied by worldly architects for their unique visual in the format of Art Deco - Gothic - Romanesque - Renaissance and lavishly adorned Rococo. To say the French are genius when it comes to creating is magnified in one permanent structure situated on the Champ de Mars Park ground where it holds court as an iron composition referred to as La Tour Eiffel. The magnificent imagination of Gustave Eiffel a young engineer who inspired the world with his metal God Of Wonder. And now potentially the most visited and loved monument on the planet.

'The Eiffel Tower is the pride of France and was originally designed for an 1889 World Fair (Exposition Universelle)'

Mademoiselle Eiffel was assigned to stand for Frances's victories in the industrial age and was not entirely popular with many Parisians who considered this iron lady a blight on the horizon of the more common stone monuments such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and Arc De Triomphe. A design by Napoleon Bonaparte to celebrate his numerous war victories and today a legacy of those who died in honor of France. Paris is a light in the dark as everywhere you turn the history is bright and even at night the Eiffel Tower sends light into the far reaches of the cosmos with a spectacular light show that leaves you wanting for more. Paris has the 'ooh la factor' with her cobblestone streets and bridges that hold the padlocks of hearts from every corner of the globe. This is a sanctuary in an ever-changing world where one can fall in love or forget their troubles as the city emulates eternal magic. Yes, this city is magical and a time warp of evolution as each building tells a story of life, love, and French liberty. Paris was home to royals who reigned from the Palace of Versailles until a revolution spearheaded by Napoleon saw the change to an Emperor's rule.

'The Chateau de Versailles is a monument to opulence and a landmark of beauty with emblems of gold and picturesque ceilings'

. It was here the Louis Kings reigned but let's not forget the influence of Queen Marie Antoinette and her fashionista influence in the world today. The era of the French monarch brings a fantasia effect that reminds us of times gone by and fairytale royals who lived a life of privilege and authority in surroundings that inspired luxury and grandeur. What makes Paris so inviting is its insatiable addictive quality of escape from the climate we are living in right now. Its European culture, history, and captivating vibes are so endearing lovers choose to marry by the Eiffel Tower. A photoshoot no doubt revered and remembered for the course of the couple's marriage. The infectious joie de vivre that motivates an aura of amore is what makes Paris a unique place on Planet Earth. And once you have experienced this vibrant French capital you will feel a haunting to return.

Butterfly Spirit Animals Of Love

'Butterfly Spirit Animals Of Love'

Butterflies are a reminder we are all in various stages of evolution on a planet that holds dear to its Mother Earth's heart the desire to understand our purpose and origins. Like butterflies, we can fly high through life or walk a path of lesser challenges denying our innovative expansion. A jet-plane ride through lessons, learning, and leaps of intuitive faith. The payoff for experiences that enrich the soul is enlightenment as we take a cosmic cruise through adventures that shake us to the core bringing flashes of awareness on a trek to Nirvana-----and the heavenly gardens of consciousness. Our butterfly glide through life is pitted with happiness and hell as we navigate the dynamic of love with no compass GPS or manual to interpret this intangible rhetoric as we offer our hearts to another in the hope it makes sense to them. Love is crazy, confusing, and complicated. That is if you continue a theme handed by parents, ancestors, or film stars who know as much as you do. This 4-letter word brings celebration or a curse as the true meaning is denied in place of karmic codependency and control. Love in a 3-dimensional world has flaws and is subject to our programming from ancient times to now. The illusion of love is a compromise to the real deal in its unconditional form, while we live by the external and everything we can see, feel, and touch.

'Meanwhile, an inner world awaits that sets our butterflies free, from living outside ourselves and sharing influence that dictates how we do what we do'

We then decide to go within and shift the paradigms of denial and mistruths. A system of negating anything we don't know and may be unwilling to learn. As the caterpillar cocoons into a beautiful butterfly, we can transform from darkened ideals to authentic prowess. An elevation that illuminates our conscious human life  Now we are free to fly with purpose and align with our credible self. Did you know we all have spirit animals to guide a human trek through the dark Winter of existence? A butterfly spirit has a brave stance and will inspire you to move any hindering patterns and renew your ability to fly above the sway of family, friends, and lovers----who play an integral part in our evolution. That is until we escape the need to conform to another's ideals and set forth on a path of autonomy. With Butterfly by our side, we see beyond the programs endorsed through lifetimes of playing it safe and fulfilling roles we never signed up for a shift as our sovereign self awakens. We no longer live by the expectations of the collective or hand over our power to those who are seemingly powerless. A new day has come as we awaken to the truth of whom we divinely are.

'The butterfly is wise and knows change is the key to a transformative, happy life'

Your Authentic Zen Room Sanctuary

'Spiritual Zen Interiors'

As an awakened soul who feels the depth of her cosmic spirituality, I wanted to write about what makes space in your home spiritual. For many, it could be softer wall colors highlighted by wood elements and an abundance of house plants, honoring nature's beautiful bounty. This imagery conjures calm, peaceful vibes but what if your decor style differs? You may prefer bolder colors or monochromatic black and white. The latter speaks to my heart as a place to call home and feeds my spiritual essence joyfully. I pass the test with house plants and wooden floors but that is more in tune with my decor theme, than decorating my rooms to suit a more zen room design. A zen design is primarily minimalist and Japanese in origin, from ancient times and the sacred Hindu language of Sanskrit. In plain English, zen is a meditative state and resonates with the Hindu pursuit of enlightenment. Hinduism is perhaps the oldest religion and works on the premise that what we take as our core beliefs, creates our thoughts and ultimately our actions and road-map of life.

'The word zen in the modern age has become an in-vogue catch-phrase, for living an authentic spiritual life'

That is honoring your true self, your fabulous soul motif and not being overly influenced by celebrities or people you might wish you were. It's hard not to be overwhelmed when the media splashes the latest and greatest versions of women encouraging teenagers to emulate their looks, dress code, and mannerisms. The issue of self-love or lack of it is monumental in this copycat society as the true self is hidden from view. Being comfortable with who we are, our unique self is the pathway to a contented life. We are all related and living on this ever-evolving planet. As far back as we know, man has sought to control with little regard for his neighbor's free The spirit of cooperation is key to making our home a peaceful Garden of Eden, where animals are protected and the Earth is honored and respected. This begins with each one of us creating an environment that enhances happiness for all.

'The philosophy of Zen is unity, without attachment and the ability to live in the present moment as ultimately, it is all we have'

The past has gone and the future is uncertain and unseen. The path to higher consciousness is to shift the mind of negative thoughts, namely fear, anger, or regret. It is then we can evolve the mind, so a response to an action or situation is not repetitive of the past. When we initiate a fight or flight mode, the heart has to work harder as stress hormones are released. Taking deep breaths gives us time to reconsider our actions and hopefully avoid conflict. A calm, zen mind inspires a positive outcome. The zen objective is to live a mindful life where every moment is valued and if we are aware of what is happening to us in every second or moment, the potential for enlightenment is real. This connection to the universe is inherited but forgotten through the eyes of a child, taught to live in a learned way.

'The Japanese live by a less is more code when stylizing a room with a harmonic zen ambiance'

It is all about the energy flow  Natural light is preferred with elements taken from nature. Colors of the planet and indoor plants fit the zen classic interior plus minimum technology and functional furniture. A living area that looks out onto the ocean or lake induces a serene atmosphere, where the wonders of nature are your fortunate view. The stage is then set for a zen mood, to activate your inner sanctum. As Zen is symbolically a state of being you can create a space in your home with a decor style that makes you feel good. Not everyone will relate to the minimal look of a customary zen theme but still feel the zen high, in an interior they decide. Be true to yourself and give your home an energy that comes from the love of making it your own. When the heart is in tune with your surroundings, your vibration will rise bringing more love and calm to the place you call home. Spiritual interiors inspire an ethereal flavor of peace and higher consciousness.
