25. An evening in the chateau - Genval

The universe is granting me again some sort of fairy tale experience. This morning as it was pouring cats and dogs in Waterloo, at the hotel Martin's Lodge, I felt I needed to get away from the grayness around. I pondered upon a beautiful space to go to, and went into my silent mode to feel about it. I did not get my next destination, rather, I got myself a coffee. Smiles.

I allowed myself that moment of relaxation and then I received some great idea to work on, quite unrelated to my earlier intent to get out of the rainy area. I worked on it, listened to upbeat music that I have on my iPhone and then, from the one domino stone to the other, I got the idea to check out this marvelous place 'Le Chatean du Lac' where yesterday, no rooms were available. 

The lady at the counter at Martin's Lodge phoned for me and actually, not only gave me the glorious coffee, but she arranged for me a huge rebate on the room rate, a special room with a canopy bed, free fitness and swimming facilities, and a taxi to the Chateau du Lac, as she had been able to secure that room for me. I feel like being super-treated all the way up. I completely forgot about the rain, had a great chat with the taxi driver, felt stable and grateful and booked into this marvelous room, where coffee is given at any time of the day. 

I have been swimming this afternoon, there is a hamam, a sauna, kindness all around, bliss, bliss and bliss. Things roll well my end. I still play with some new concept that I will not disclose as yet, and I am sending out requests to some friends to help me make it possible. I see potentials and more travel to come for myself. I like to write down the details of this journey, for myself, because I love writing and also, if you read this, you get another flavor on how to move into the world, expanding, and making it up as you go. All depends on your own state of being. Being upbeat, actively, positive, interactive, centered and also in some sense 'silent with yourself', brings good flow and the rest .... is up you ourselves to make up. I just know that radiating appreciation in a natural way, like little children do a lot, is a great way to 'be', and very easy to do. 

24. Martin's Lodge, the mysterious world of Waterloo

Crazy as it sounds, I am in Waterloo tonight, not far from the Lion of Waterloo in a hotel spending the night at 2 km from the lion. It is a mystery why I ended up here, but the law of attraction is flawless. I first wanted to spend a night or 2 in the exquisite Chateau du Lac in Genval, quite a different place : a castle-hotel with swimming pool etc, and then quite by surprise, the hotel was fully booked in a week-end for a business seminar. Highly unusual as the week-ends are not working days, and fully booked is also quite out of the ordinary in a week-end. 

So I was provided this hotel Martin's Lodge and it was almost fully booked as well. Strange. Here you see a picture of the Lion of Waterloo, all about Napoleon and the stories of the Battle of Waterloo. I am personally not really interested in those stories, but then, I find myself in the vicinity of this warzone and nowadays touristic zone. The hotel itself is part of a business flow connected to meetings steered from Brussels mainly. Also there, I only have some past connect as I have no business profile since my leaving of that world and kind of business in 2007. It is like a dive in the past. I still do not understand what brings me here. Perhaps I will find some clarity lateron, during the night.

23. Brussels on the Path

I left Antwerp to go to Brussels. A great train ride to the central station, and there a little walk to the chosen hotel to stay overnight. One of my indigo friends was with me to enjoy a bottle of red wine and we had a good conversation. Intense conversation about reality creation and what happens when living from that point of view and the point of view of how we are surrounded, what happens. All interesting stuff. Later-on I enjoyed my hotel room, simple, quiet and nice. Staying in Brussels was not the intent for me at the moment, so I left the hotel in the morning, and left Brussels all together.

Brussels is a great place, it allows you to feel the international character, to immerse yourself in different tastes and different atmospheres, from business to food&drinks, to walking or visiting the place around, and the amazing multi-cultural and colored variation. Here are some pictures taken in the hotel lobby while I was waiting for my taxi to get to my next destination.  

22. Artistic city Antwerp

We are March 27, and I selected yesterday to travel south from the Netherlands to Belgium, to Antwerp. I know the city from earlier years and know it to be a colorful mix of many vibrations : artists, good food, a sense of exclusive fashion, design. The city thrives with colorful hippies, new agers, business people, the locals, many foreigners and some international undefined vibrations from everywhere, coupled to the fact that it is a major port at the North Sea. You can sense the aliveness of the place ? It is a right city for highly vibrant people with good ideas, provided of course, you yourself select to be like that too. You see the world through the eyes that you have, that is a truth.

This picture is a view from the breakfast window in the Radisson BLU hotel in Antwerp. Yes, I have the bliss to experience the great wheel. Yesterday night it was great to see it spin and throw the colors all around. At night, Antwerp is a great city, full of color and lights everywhere and great places to eat. Yesterday evening I wanted to experience the Japanese kitchen and did so at the restaurant Kaseika (picture). It was good there, I was looking straight at a great image of the Fuji Yama, which I visited before 'real life'. Fuji Yama is also my first Japanese martial arts club, the first one I trained at. All pointers to our own self and what we love. Always have loved the ways of the Japanese zen.

I am living my dream to be able to walk the world that I create with my own energy, influence and attraction. Today is again, a good day to be blessed with the gifts I give myself in this quite unusual way to be on earth. Follow me on my travel and find out together with me, what an unbound travel brings about, the quantum way.

21. Pianistic expressions during the travel

I play piano, not every day anymore, but I am still there, doing it whenever I can. When there is a piano in the room, I feel good, as I am so sisterly connected to that instrument. So when I see one in my neighborhood, I get attracted. This morning I left Den Helder and the great B&B I stayed in (gorgeous place !!) and stepped into a local café before taking the train. There it was ! A black beauty piano silently waiting for me. I asked if I could play it, and the lady of the house happily agreed. I played and after that an elder lady talked to me for a little while about the bliss of the piano sound. I told her that more and more you see a 'play me' piano everywhere in stations, or airports.

I left and chose to take a break in the Amsterdam station. And here it was again : a 'play me piano' so beautifully played by a young man that I stood there listening for the tones he made. Gorgeous.

During travels like this, you start to see the real connection there is between what you talk about, and the appearance of those subjects in your life. This goes from talking about events, colors, experiences. It is true that where your attention goes, goes the energy, and the real life experience of that. It is not complicated, it is pure physics and not spiritual at all. We radiate energy and what we select to radiate through, comes about 'outside'. Interesting, enjoyable, special.

20. Reflections on the travel path

AH ! Every moment of the day there is this bumping up against some parts of yourself, on what you have going on in your mind. It is wonderful to see this happen as it passes.

I am currently nurturing the thoughts of letting the world be as it wants, because I like to be as I want, and to train myself inwardly to be balanced, stable and focused. Both movement work very well when you travel : inner stability giving strength, and letting the world run its own course. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (pictures here) is of course a splendid movie on how it turns out for him. It is so clear that Walter's orientation and inner life came to reality, to real life when he took those initiatives to GO and GET what he needed. It truly is a fantastic movie, if you have not seen it, you will not regret watching it.  It IS one of those positive movies, that makes you energized and loving your own life even more.

Especially for explorers and modern Indian Jones types like me and doing things that have much less boundary and have this less edge of comfort. Don't get me wrong, I have been doing the routine normal life as well, and I really liked it, as an events manager, I was busy, loved it.... and then I just got that inner 'activation' (like a command inside, that was so weird but real), and suddenly I could not help myself but to start going 'alternative'. I had to find my balance in that alternative attitude, it took me time and much searching, because going outside of the normal cannot be prescribed, I had to INVENT myself.

Now I have gotten used to invent myself every day, getting in some sort of positive mode, empowering myself without security nets, tackling that awful negative mind-field (yeah actually mine-field indeed) without tackling myself. Get my drift ? It was not easy to do things so differently that most of the people run away from you when you can't answer the question 'so, what are you going to do tomorrow'... but I have gotten used to it, and now I have trained myself to be highly connected and gently responsive to all questions, without losing that precious balance. 

So, tomorrow I am going to leave the little rented apartment, and guess what, I have no plans yet on where to go, however ... I have learned that something will come up right on time. I do have an aim, a direction, and that is to travel towards everything that is blissful, powerful, abundant, oxygenated, healthy... and most of that I already have, so now I relax whilst moving one foot before the other.

I feel blessed. I am sovereign and connected and my path goes over the delightful reflection of myself. Sharing is what I like about it too, and that is what this blog is about.

19. The world is my creation

I am going about my days in a very creative way, all the time, silently in my rooms, my rented appartments, my hotel rooms, my temporary places, my temples and silently on the streets, and with some sort of music in my head, that makes me feel very alive.

Days of waves, and one thing is so sure, the centerdness that I feel in the moments, make me feel great and confident. I have managed to create myself a life outside of the box of what is normal 'work' and outside of the box of being tied into social must-dos and still, I found a way to manage a social content with authentic content, good friendships and quality interactions. It is all about the intent that one radiates. I am just simply doing things that I like to do. I divert myself away from things that feel not good, de-energize those, and go with a positive flow of music, ideas, openness, heartfelt things. I thrive and dance to the upbeat things that make me bright and light. I love the sound of guitar, and of heartfelt music and fill myself to the brim with that kind of stuff.

So easy, the buffet is there and I choose, every day again, what I like, the thoughts that I like, the balance that I want, the passion that I look for, the brush to paint my next canvas, the people I want to connect to. How do I choose ? I feel this immediately, there is something that knows the others and I use that information to go forward.

I am a martial artist, all my life. Went from hard styles to the softer, from the Japanese disciplines to the Chinese flow, all very empowering and bringing a sense of inner understanding. Very grateful for those disciplines to exist and to feed the best parts of the human attitudes. Respect !!

As I walk in the world of matter, and the holographic response to my own waves and radiation, I see how the world bends to my energy requests and my output, confirming me as I go in all things that I see and all the music that I make. I am sovereign, I create my money (hah !!), I create my life, I create my house, I radiate things into existence. Nobody needs to believe this, but everybody knows the truth of this, as we are ALL made in the same system. I just made the finding of this, my prime focus of life and travel my own experiment into life. That's how I roll, simply and dedicated. 

18. Such a change of gear

Can you imagine how much you can change after some 10 days on your own and where the influence of the outside world is at minimum ? Don't get me wrong, I love people and being with others. There is this change that happens when you have your personal space, where no other dwells. You re-calibrate, you feel yourself again, you do your own thing, you are not influenced. Of course, we should always do as we feel, yet it is something personal to me to be swiftly influenced by my surrounding, I just cannot help myself. It is in the unseen vibrations, it is in the tonal quality of the place and the people that I then am with.

So I am blessed to position myself in my, for most of the time, lone space and I really changed. Especially after the eclipse something opened again, and I flood myself over the social networks again, connecting to old friends and making new ones, much more than I did before. I feel good, flowing, strong, unencumbered, as if some sort of dark veil has been lifted. It would be good for me to stay in this sort of place and expand my social network, based on this newly found back alignment with myself. 

I do not really care about celestial influences, not with my mind anyway, yet this solar eclipse really made me feel as if I ended something dense, and now the upbeat feeling is just great. I like to be out, to shine out, to take the bicycle and get to the sea, and smile at people. Connecting my other networks again, talk and communicate, in balance and joy. Something really has shifted in a very good way.

Yesterday I went to a Pink Floyd event here, and as a musician, I enjoyed every tone of the sounds that those singers made. Gorgeous guitar sounds, great synthesizer, the backvocals were really good and the overall sense of 'Pink Floyd' was well communicated. The Wall is a hit again and again. Love it, those intense tones of social requests, reactions to authority, all about Pink Floyd and the call for us to stand up. Love that vibration, and that is not really a surprise, being an indigo myself, right ?

So I am here immersed in great colors, I love it, I feel alive. I want to stay here forever, or at least have my own place like this. My next assignment, although I will also continue to travel somehow. I love multi-tasking on many levels. Just sharing a moment of inner sunshine with you all.

17. A personal nuclear fusion after the solar eclipse

Quantum exploration is interesting. What do I mean with that ? It is the exploration of the human beyond the duality system of 'polarity'. How so ?

We believe we are energy of polarity, vibration and frequency. Right ? And so we respond to electrical pulses from outside and all over, we emit electrical pulses and all things we do are putting out electrical signals based on our intents.  Ah ! The human design. And so there are a thousand ways to measure or steer all that : astrology, numerology, science, Qi Gong, spirituality, gurus, religion, physicists, doctors, machines, wireless machines, emitters and receivers etc.... all those immensely invested 'things' and systems to control or try to understand, to grasp 'who we are, and how we function'. And we do understand some of it, up to a certain point. 

Yet NEVER can we control, even if we think we do. So there, all that time spent to understand an atom or a wave, or a pulse, and not even knowing where it comes from than a defined word like 'field', or 'god', etc... Difficult, never really touching it. Impossible. 

Duality is a state of electrical tension. A desire is a state of tension, and thought is a state of tension. The new era is about getting into a state of relaxation, in which 'the mystery' can flow and adapt the structure. Not anymore the structure to adapt the mystery, no, the opposite.

The solar eclipse yesterday was like a nuclear fusion, where the mystery was adapting the structure. This rare alignment with the sun, the super moon, earth, the equinox, the ending of the zodiac, mars and uranus, contained in itself a great nuclear combination (hence the planet uranus !!). I could feel something, you too ?

Now, intuitively I was called to be here, in Den Helder for that special event, even before I was told the eclipse was going to happen. I meant something BIG for me, personally. 

Yesterday evening, after a mentally rough (dark) day for me, I decided to change myself, I was so fed up with the duality 'ding-dong' in my head, so fiercefully initiated my inner nuclear fusion by fusing myself into the 'inner matrix', instead of the 'outer matrix'. I allowed my personality, my personal energy to fuse with the higher self, the higher mind, the mystery. If you understand what I mean. I unplugged from the external influx of energy, the world, and plugged myself, fused myself with my inner energy. That inner energy is my stateless energy, my quantum energy. 

So that is part of my change, my nuclear fusion. I literally told my cells to merge with the light within, and the rest will be seen in how my life unfolds here, in this time-space reality. Use the force, Jane... yes, the force ! A different energy is flowing through my veins, and I relate differently to some things already. I feel more strength and 'containment', and I like this feeling of self-empowerment. Indigo or not, right ?

What a thrill, and what an experience. In my further blogs, I will let you know how this changes my life. As said 'words don't teach, experience does'. jl

16. Pink Floyd on my path in Den Helder, NL

Interesting to see, within the concept of creating your own reality, how this all works out. After the solar eclipse of yesterday, today there is this Pink Floyd concert by inFloyd in the nearby hotel of Den Helder.

When you look at the poster, it is even of greater magnificence and tied into the solar eclipse of yesterday. And yes, some might say 'coincidence', however being on the road like this for years now, I have seen the emergence of such 'coincidences' way too much to dismiss it like some sort of accident.

I am living my personal quantum leap (which is another word for awareness expansion) as I go, I create by radiation my interest and my inclination. As an indigo, I am not surprised to see this band Pink Floyd reappear in my world, as they too, the original ones, are indigos and I am just walking a slightly different timeline, hence I get inFloyd. Which suits me fine, it is about the energy and the emergence of others like me.

The hotel has some history with me too, and I like going back there to be immersed in the connection of the vibration of 'that time'. It is good to be here, I love the word 'Helder' which means 'Clarity', and clarity is about understanding deeply and clearly, or some sort of purity. All good attributes. I love the power of creation that brings together all cooperative components and perhaps, who knows, I might meet other indigos tonight. And if not, it surely will be a great evening.

There another thrilling experience in my life as creative writer of whatever I am about. Sharing for the joy of radiating my great sense of exploration and discovery, beyond the normal explorer's mind of course, that is what an explorer is : he goes where noone has gone before. And in word of Pink Floyd : 'we don't need no education, we don't need no thought control', so here we go and find life beyond thought, right ?

15. The power of synchronicity

When you travel, you are much less bound to the normal routines of your life. You have to adapt to new impulses, new food, new thoughts, new ways of being. Travelling expands your awareness and makes you become 'larger'. You become a greater self. One of the things that I found during my exquisite travels is the power of synchronicity. Following Wikipedia here is an explanation of what synchronicity is : 'Synchronicity is the occurrence of two or more events that appear to be meaningfully related but not causally related. Synchronicity holds that such events are "meaningful coincidences"'.  Now what is a sentence without experience ? Here, as the zenwalker, I walk my life into existence and there is this synchronicity. After 2012, humanity has taken a forward leap to timelessness. For some this is old news, for others, it is something to discover. 

The 'now' is considered the point of power, where all things adapt themselves to. Liken it to the idea of 'oneness' : all things are right here, right now, having their energy and their existence. This means that a person, being a single-pointed emergence of energy, is the center of his universe. In that universe, his life, synchronicity (coincidental happenings) points him to himself.

Today I heard a man talking at the telephone as I entered a nice coffee bar here in Den Helder. The place is called 'Nogal Wiedes', at the seaside. I had been cycling for a while on the song of Pharell Williams 'Happy' and felt like dancing and singing. So I entered this place and this guy on the telephone said 'if she continues as she does, she surely will have a great time being here'. That is synchronicity. This message was so to the point for my personal life, that I could not deny it to be relevant to me. In that sense synchronicity always works and points to what is happening in the personal life. I have seen it happening all the time, and it works beautifully. It shows my orientation in life, and as a traveller, I like this very much. All things around work with me all the time, appropriate. It does not always mean that I like it, but I 'listen' and then I can adapt myself. I cooperate with the synchronicity pointers and make up my own decisions. Another synchronistic pointer is the emergence of flowers in this season. Makes me feel like I am flowering myself too. 

I understand the world to be a reflection of my state of being, so for me, this all makes sense.

14. The upcoming solar eclipse March 20

Part of this special travel into the world is to discover how much we do create our own reality by our intentions and focus, also by our heart's desires. And the travel I blog about is all about showing (for myself and any interested persons) what happens in the day to day, when one is relatively free from the normal adult-world circumstances. I am free as much as I can from other people's influences and mostly move about on my own and quietly behind the frequential fences of normal thinking. I have no working environment and at this moment am on my own socially, away from my tribe and just lightly connected to the normal works of the Western European world. This might sound crazy and perhaps very much 'out there', but then I can tell you that my experiences are still real, very real. So gone with the nay-sayers and disbelievers, this is a blog that speaks just 'what is'. I do this because theories do not teach me life, but real experimental experiences do. It is challenging on the fearful mind, but ultimately, it is fun ! 

March 20 has this special moment of partial solar eclipse, exactly conjunct with the spring equinox and a supermoon (Google this for more explanations) and the end of the Pisces cycle to start the Aries cycle. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. The Equinox is about the end of the winter, which is the last season of the 4. The solar eclipse has to do with a temporary off-line situation of the sun, being blocked by the moon for a few hours. It could be related to a power-down of the computer and then a reboot of sorts. So many symbols for the same movement !! Such logic too as I see the world as a holographic creation from the projector within. This is a metaphor for what I believe we live in, as a human species : a holographic reality.

Back to the upcoming solar eclipse. For me these pointers of metaphoric kind relate to a big ending of something. Certainly on a personal level, there a some important things that I am finishing, and even places that I visit, where I left some imprint and that I visit again, as if I am collecting my parts here and there, gathering them to be complete again, and then to transcend myself, move on in a different shape to something else. All the fibers of my body say the same thing : this is the end. I feel indeed like positively dying to rebirth. And in all honesty, I am really looking forward to that moment, so that I can get rid of something that has outlived itself and then re-initiate myself for something that I cannot see yet. 

Here is a place that I visited today where I was some time ago, it is one of those places that I say 'goodbye' to. Hotel Den Helder...

13. Sitting in the city of Clarity 'Den Helder'

Here I sit in a rented apartment in the city Den Helder in the North of the Netherlands. I have been here before and returned for no other reason than some intuitive move to do so. 

I had a few months of real cleansing, energy cleansing, thought cleansing, orienting myself to positive thoughts and staying centered, and the name of this city is just another step in the process : clarity. I love things that are clean and clear and feel quite well here. The Netherlands is known for its tapestries of flowers and right now, it is the spring season and there are many flowers everywhere. Exquisite !!

This is the light house nearby the seaside, in the midst of some lonely fields. Yesterday I saw many people walking and cycling, it was great weather, sunshine, a bit cold wind and healthy. There are many flowers popping up from the ground in this abundant spring time energy, and it was gorgeous to walk around and look what the city has to offer. I find it a colorful city, with loads of little shops and coffeebars. It is alive here, lots of moving around. I also spent part of my day introspecting inside my apartment, clearing up my own website (http://jeanine12lecluse.wix.com/catch), and then getting good air by being outside for no reason. My Qi Gong daily routine is going well, and I loosen up my joints, my body. 

Yesterday I was gifted a photoshoot by the owner of the apartment who is a professional photographer. As I rented the apartment for more than 3 days, it is part of the deal. It was a fun moment and perhaps one of these days, I might show you his work. More on that later. Loads of positive thoughts flood into my psyche and I feel a strengthening of my awareness, of how I am, who I am. I am attracted to things that are in harmony, both in my thoughts, in my heart and in my day-to-day, it is a bliss and there is much fun everywhere, I find.

On March 20, Friday, there will be a solar eclipse, together with the equinox,  and a supermoon, and the end of the pisces cycle. This all means to me that there is a big ending that is going to take place (that is my opinion only) and I can feel it in my energy too. I feel like loads of 'old' thoughts are leaving and there is some sort of overall relaxation and letting go. It feels great and I bathe into the knowing that something good is going to happen. I can feel it my bones, so to speak.  If you want to know more about the eclipse, google it. Here is a site that shows the solar eclipse (http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/netherlands/amsterdam). Thank you for reading my World Travel Journal and please, if you want to connect, you are very welcome to do so. 

12. Practicing TaiChi Chuan at the Buddhist Monastery

During the week-end of 14-15 March, I attended a Taichi Chuan week-end with Nello Mauro, who comes every 2 month from Sicily to teach some forms. We practiced in the main temple of the Buddhist monastery in Huy, Belgium. Gorgeous place, friendly people, and the quiet and silence is greatly appreciated, in the midst of the woods.  The temple is a display of immense colors, everything has been handpainted by the buddhist Tibetan monks on-site, and practicing there was wonderful. The teacher had beautiful Taichi Chuan music in the background and made many of us have a great time of fun and practice. I am not a real tourist, more an explorer on a personal mission, however you ever want to visit a beautiful and serene place, I recommend you visit this monastery.

As I am living the realization of 'creating my own reality', and directing my intentions, I naturally land back in places where there is more stillness and inwardly oriented people. A Tibetan monastery is indeed a beautiful space with an open heart. I like the attributes of balance and harmony, and martial arts is my passion and foundation. Not just any martial art, but those founded on philosophy and deep wisdom, aka enlightenment. I had wonderful friendly conversations with other practitioners and it was good to connect during tea, coffee and food afterwards too.

The overall setting was perfect : the ambiance, the group of students (who mostly are teachers in their own town), the music, the connections, the weather, the humor, the physical practice and the on-site support. Super !

Now I moved a few hours up north to Den Helder in Holland, for a week of introspective sensing and experiencing. I am finding out quantum creation on my own, to see what I 'sing' into life and how I stand when in a different atmosphere with a different feeling.  I am also following my own program to stay away from media influence, and right into direct life with people of the little town and synchronistic encounters. More on this little journey later.

11. Stop at the Buddhist Monastry Yeunten Ling

This is the beautiful monastry in Huy, Belgium. Quite a healthy and bright energy that has been activated here at this location. I have given myself the gift of a wonderful TaiChi Chuan experience for the week-end with Nello Mauro, an Italian instructor. He and I have met already during a podium presentation some way ago. I am going to join the training for the fun, for the air, for the balance, for the experience, just quietly. Will see what happens. It is a full week-end program, and I have a little bed on the premise somewhere. Check-in tonight March 13 and check-out March 15 evening. Looking forward to all this !!

Being here is an amazing thing, you feel connected to the sounds that are made here, and to the general idea of kindness and balance. It generates bright energy within me. People connect and talk, with respect and with reverence for the place. It is after all, a sacred place. There is fun when little children are around, and the colors of the temple building and the Buddha outside add to the joyful brightness. It is always a place where cleansing happens and deep re-calibration to high energy. The location is great. I will narrate about my experience on this as soon as I get online.  jL

10. The Seashores of Holland

Early morning of Monday March 9, I traveled off to Rockanje, a place near the sea in The Netherlands. I was attracted to the place by the 'largesse' of the sea, and the exquisite natural surrounding. The images caught my eye when I was scrolling searching for something else on my pc. I saw and I decided immediately to spend 2 nights. I was so thrilled and could not wait to get away from the much denser place here in Belgium. 

I could already feel the better air, the more abundant green and the fresher surrounding. Off I went. I took some stuff with me so that I could occupy myself also in the room. I am currently writing a book on Personal Power, a book written for indigos and relating to my own travel experiences, the need for being empowered and high energy. The writing fits perfectly in the current situation as well. I am writing on how to get to an empowered high energy and doing things we normally don't do,  but want to do. More on the book later.

I arrived sound and safe with my temporary car, lent to me by a friend who does not need it for the moment, another lucky stroke of the great supportive universe. I  took off and visited the nearby dunes and found myself walking for 3 hours. The image here above is a shot from within those dunes, gorgeous !  Tired and upbeat, I came back with great satisfaction into the hotel. Here is a picture, I was not attracted to the hotel and thought I was going to stay in the charming property that they also run. However, I chose to stay and it turned out really well. The inside of this hotel is quite beautiful.

I could feel I was in a good space here, and the earlier Brussels tiredness disappeared. The environment had a positive impact on me. I rejuvenated. Here is an evening view of the hotel, whilst I was sitting outside, enjoying the stars, the cold air, the coffee and the blanket around me. The room I had at first was less inviting, so asked for a change and got room number 22, a great number ! I enjoyed the flying of a little bat in front of my window and a gorgeous view of the evening sun and trees all over. The birds were singing out loud, no denial. 

Closeby there is a charming big property (see picture) that is used only for festivities, it belongs to the hotel. It was empty when I visited it, and the garden had a pond with a couple of swans. Tiny flowers were everywhere in the surrounding woods, and people were friendly all the way. I had sunshine the whole stay. As I walked during the days, visited the sea I felt rejuvenated and energized. High energy, in the vortex, and enjoying every moment. 

I love Chinese food, so went to the local Sun Garden for a Chinese evening diner. The young couple was very pleasing and kind to the customers. Here is a picture from the inside, when I was at the table. Cié cié (thank you in Chinese). I felt surrounded by good energy the whole time and when I drove back to Belgium for a short stay in Brussels, I received an inner message to go further north to Holland very soon. I have planned that trip for the week of March 16. In the mean time, I prepare myself for a Taichi Chuan week-end in Huy, in the Tibetan Monastry Luenten Ling.

I meditated every day for a little while, took care of being positive, high energy, finding many little details to enjoy and to stay in a place of self-empowerment and emotional balance. I am pleased with what I did and am doing. I believe the travel is also about testing my personal skills as a self-sufficient person in a world where many think with a consciousness of lack. There is much to enjoy and it is all about tuning into the willing to enjoy, instead of being a victim of circumstances. That too has to do with my travel.  JL

9. Travel Vibrations

What is it that makes travel so attractive ? It is the change of scenery, the 'out of box' desire, the feeling of being alive, and the freedom--- it is all generated by the feeling of travel.  And it starts well before it really takes place.

Since I have decided to go to this travel, my days have been exponentially more fulfilling, brighter, more surprising and filled with little and big gifts. I attract good reading material, I see more people being alive and sharing their own strength, I live more fully and consciously myself.

Taken up the daily physical strengthening practice of the chinese art of Qi Gong and Taichi Chuan, and some other moves from other martial practices, I have re-armored my strengthening shield and sword for the preparation of the travel. I do my daily practice of meditation for a clear mind, a lighter attitude, more humor and just a sense of really living well. I nurture the physical very well and strengthen my balance and inner mental harmony. All that is part of the travel idea, of getting ready to shine out where I go, albeit silently, for that is my way. People that met me before will tell about me that I talk and share, and those that are tuned into my real me, they will nod silently, for they have seen the silence with me too. 

Travel vibrations are already alive since my decision. Travel movies are part of my research, destinations and foreign languages are my focus, new ideas ignite me and I experiment with it all.

I see the upcoming delights already. So, after an amazing outing 2 nights ago with about 200 international people and talking to Taiwanese, Portugese, American, English, Swedish, and Belgian people, today again, I am to another house where the American vibration is alive, up to having a wonderful BBQ. The sun is shining... and that says it all.  jL

8. Travel Spirit

I am today choosing my Travel Spirit to join me in expanding myself for the Travel to come. I have been travelling since 7 years and it was - let's say - interesting. In those sacred 7 years I lived a 1000 lives really, it is there that I forged my spiritual force and my deep feeling energies. I was and am the ZenWalker until I choose to retreat myself from the networks on which I was tuned in for the purpose of sharing. I chose to have a break, you see.

Today, I sense the power of the ZenWalker coming up again, as my energy-ally to the next step that I am taking. So there, I am the ZenWalker, and I slowly stand up with my power of the no-mind, the space that cannot be understood, felt, or figured out, it is simply the totality-connected state of presence that joins the whole Travel equation. 

It is a personal flavor added to the expanding blogging experience that I am filling here with my words, delightfully I must say. I love to write in the silence of my own self and I love to be centered in balance. Writing helps me to do this. 

This morning I re-embraced the practice of my own forms of Taichi Chuan and Qi Gong, mixed with some other moves that respond to the need of the body. Aren't we just delightful beautiful beings, here on earth. So, lateron I will talk about the great practice of balancing energies through movement, for that is what Qi Gong is about. It is a beautiful art. 

This all being said, I am now ... again ... the ZenWalker.  And you, the reader, are invited to join the experience with me in reading this blog. Welcome !

7. Travelling Before Travelling

It is amazing to see how the thought of travel ignites all kinds of events related to it before the actual travel even starts. I know it is very logical, the attention goes there and the selection of activities too. And then, I continue to remark in my creative thoughts, that I am actually already travelling everywhere I go and the world responds as such. My intuition is online. I went to a garden yesterday, a park actually, only for the joy of walking, breathing, feeling well and clearing my space. And in that immense garden I saw a glasshouse, a big one. It is called the Plant Palace. I was attracted to it. In the glasshouse, there were many rooms next to rooms, where you could touch, smell, inhale, and see tropical plants from all over the world. I saw lotus flowers in a big pond, and the paradise flower, next to the banana tree. I saw a Japanese styled water walk, and bamboo on the side. I walked from marvel to marvel, looking at bright extra-ordinary flowers and wonderful greenery. Some spaces were humid and dense, other spaces, relatively cold. There were name tags everywhere, and I chose not to burden my head with technical knowledge. I was astonished and felt abundant. It was a magnificent walk. The garden I visited was the Belgian Meise Botanic Garden.

(see more on the link here : www.br.fgov.be/PUBLIC/GENERAL/plant_palace.php).

So I had the great real park and then the visit to the tropics, before I even started to become the next Indiana Jones !!  Needless to say that I had chosen my adventurer's shoes for the walking, by intuition. The gift of not planning, putting agendas and having any sort of intent than being on the adventurer's road. It already happens, I am already radiating my new me.

Also, quite coincidentally (not !!), the television provided me with another taste of adventurous discoveries through the movie 'Journey 2 : the mysterious island' (see image here) which for me was another way to taste adventure without lifting my proverbial finger. I am already in the right space.

Really pleased and delighted to live in this world of marvel. We do indeed create our own reality and with an upbeat attitude, and an energized behaviour things can only go right. Oh, by the way, I am picking up with a daily Qi Gong routine, which also generates very good vibrations for the things to come. I might share some of that later to you. Now, time for a good coffee and loads of fresh water. JL
