Prison, Århus and a new week

Today we visited open prison close to Odense. It was interesting indeed! We got some walking tour on a territory and also got into one small museum where are collected things from different years.
Next day we went to Århus for a trip, with a bus. We walked in Århus old city, a very beautiful one. I got my feet all wet and ended up in Århus library til we went back home. We arrived for a supper. It was a very nice trip.
Week started with visiting Anne Lise home for a danish coffee and pre-christmas danish cake and also some presents exchange. Also we got last lesson for welness class where we got foot bath and some relaxing music. Today, Tuesday - we had Mette's class with a discussion about white privilege.

New week!

This sunday we had a tour to Odense Christmas market. I saw also some street theater there. Weekend went very quickly. And I forgot to meantion on Saturday we had some fun with candie workshop, where we made some chocolade candies. Monday went quickly with Welness class, where we studied about aroma oil and also made back massage to each other. It has been very delightful and I fully enjoyed it. Tuesday we had Mette's Take the future class with another topic about unconditional love and on how we can teach ourselves to think differently. Swimming went quickly..i have been too la3y. But for sure it was good with a sauna... :D

Onions, apple juice and Sigur Ros

Today we have been to Gyldensteen onion and vegetable factory, and saw how onions are sorted and packed. Its history goes back to 1717, when Jean Henri Huguetan was elevated to the rank of Count by the Danish King and assumed the title and name Count of Gyldensteen. We saw the production and machinery inside the factory and also tasted apple juice produced on a factory. It has been very interesting, and we also got a chance to taste an apple juice, which was one of the best I ever tasted. Factory has in total 2126 ha and growing up not only onions, but also other type of vegetables as potatoes, wheat, corn, broccoli, permanent grass and apples. They have both yields and forest with oaks, beech, softwood and firewood. They also produce an apple juice, which is sold mainly in Copenhagen.
Also we got some discussion about new rule for foreigners in Denmark, which is one of the most stupid things I have heard of.
Later on I had a short lesson with Anne-Lise, where we talked a bit about music videos, its cost and value. In particular we talked about Sigur Ros productions, and also some Danish artists. Sigur Ros is one of my favourite artists. I consider them as musicians working with a strong concept. They make mainly experimental, ambient and symphonic music. Their music videos are great and can be seen as in short film perspective. These wake up many thoughts about problems within society and also some global topics as air pollution, atomic weapons and nature resources' usage. They bring to audience not only music and pictures, but also something to think about and to discuss.

Coaching

Today we had Mette's lecture and workshop on and about coaching. We got some stuff and also practiced as by being coach and coachee. It has been very interesting and also very good to learn. I reflected much on own knowledge and also learnt some new things.

Why coaching? Because:
- coaching helps to live full potential
- coaching is always headed forwards - towards a goala
- coaching is supporting and challenging the coachee
- coaching has the basic idea, that we create our reality in our mind, and we can achieve almost anything we want, if we are motivated and focused - and clear on our priorities.

What is coaching good for?
- to get you from dreams to reality
- to focus on idea until action
- to help you to know where are you going
- to get you clear on your values, which again helps you to make your choices
- to support you in an individual world
- to go from confused to clear
- to make a group or team focus on the same goal, and find common solutions.

Coaching is NOT a therapy and it is not heading backwards.

What made me to who I am?
Life wheel
Goal
Action plan

What is good to give you a motivation:
meditation, yoga, people, music, sleep, food, sports, life stories, visible results, breath, will, images, jogging, vacation, nature, party.

What can help?
- to draw up the line clearly
- to understand and handle preventions
- to take small steps
- to keep focus

Satisfaction, selvrealisation

Some main spots:
How satisfied are you with
- health
- personal development
- family
- friends
- economy
- career
- relationships
- spirituality
-- scale 1-10

What goal do you have and what you need to achieve your goal.
What you need to make it happen and what are your values?
What can prevent you of making it and what are resolution steps.

For example, my goal is to study Danish and be able to be fluent in it.
What I need? I find that meditation, enough sleep, good food, some sports, party, breath and a good will would help me to achieve my goal. I need to work with myself and not to be too la3y. I need to start doing things practically, not just talking about it. I need to learn not only about language, but also about culture. To be more happy and motivated through the sports, communication, physical activities and music. To have more will to study!
What can prevent me on my way?
Being too la3y, not proper usage of a free time, maybe lack of communication with native speakers.
And resolution steps are: doing some sports regularly, meditation, yoga - gives more energy and self confidence, going to parties more often, social activities, getting enough sleep in peacful and quiet environment, going to bed earlier.

ACTION!
- the biggest prevention/gift is your own head
- the gift is that you can do something - you do not have to wait for anybody
- all you can do is your best - the rest is not up to you.
- remember!Life is worth it. There is a gold in the end of a tunnel.

When you achieve something you want, you feel so much great. It gives much power and energy. It is much about an attitude towards the life and things happening with us and around us.

Wednesday

Painting in the morning, healthy lunch and quick visit to a library. I ended up with books about a life style and 3 films on Danish. Yes, now I am ready to study more Danish language. This is my goal for next few weeks. Also, today is already 1 of december!Cannot believe!I already look forward to start Mindfull Living course.
Yesterday we learnt about aura and energy. Here is some of information:

Aura as part of the human being
An aura consists of very fine vibrating energies, that is what we often “see/feel” as a person’s good or bad vibrations. Aura is an expression of a human beings personality and potentials.
You can say that a human being has five different bodies: The physical, the ethereal, the astral, the mental and the spiritual. The word aura means radiance. The aura is reflections of the non-physical aspects of the human being.
The physical body: a tool to express all levels of ourselves, it is a picture of our energy, thoughts, feelings and qualities. Your body shows who you are.
The ethereal body: It receives, layers and pass on life energy. It has to spread and coordinate life energy to the physical body. There are four layers in the ethereal body:
outer 1: health layer,
outer 2: What we do in life, (how we manifest)
SKIN
inner 3: truth layer, (balance in who we are, and who we show we are)
inner 4: the chemical structure (what receives life energy prana from the sun)
The astral body: is motivating us and giving us the energy to start things. It is about attraction and its opposite.
The mental body: Gives our lives direction – it creates pictures visions and explanations.
The spiritual body: Is our “I am” is our identity. It is all the abilities that stay with us throughout our lives, our true potential and quality.

To be well, to be able to live our qualities, we have to have good energy flow through the ethereal in order to get in touch with the astral and spiritual. People of today are reaching out for the spiritual – the meaning – the answer to “why am I here”. According to Helen Gamborg, a danish physiotherapist, the ability to do so is a matter of being in touch with “all your bodies, but particularly the spiritual body. Her studies are based on the theory of Bob Moore.
