Story Transcript:Ca: El sol començava a despuntar a l'horitzó de Montserrat, tenyeixent el cel amb una paleta de colors rosats i taronges suaus.En: The sun began to peek over the horizon of Montserrat, painting the sky with a palette of soft pink and orange colors.Ca: Els ocells cantaven amb alegria, i l'aire era fresc i ple de la promesa del dia.En: The birds sang joyfully, and the air was fresh and full of the promise of the day.Ca: En aquesta calma tranquil·la, Núria estava decidida a trobar el seu camí cap a la pau interior.En: In this tranquil calm, Núria was determined to find her path to inner peace.Ca: A la vigília de Pasqua, Núria, una jove amb esperit lliure, va decidir escapar de la rutina de Barcelona i va emprendre una excursió per provar els limits propis i trobar noves perspectives.En: On the eve of Easter, Núria, a young woman with a free spirit, decided to escape from the routine of Barcelona and undertook a hike to test her limits and find new perspectives.Ca: La seva meta era clara: arribar al cim de Montserrat a l'alba i obtenir la inspiració tan necessària per als canvis personals que tenia a la ment.En: Her goal was clear: to reach the summit of Montserrat at dawn and gain the much-needed inspiration for the personal changes she had in mind.Ca: Al seu camí, l'acompanyava el silenci trencat només pel soroll dels seus passos i el xiuxiueig del vent entre els pins.En: On her way, she was accompanied by silence broken only by the sound of her footsteps and the whisper of the wind among the pine trees.Ca: Les flors de primavera decoraven el camí amb colors vius, brindant una bellesa que donava força a Núria, malgrat el terreny rocós i les pujades escarpades que l'anaven cansant.En: The spring flowers decorated the path with vivid colors, offering a beauty that gave strength to Núria, despite the rocky terrain and steep climbs that were tiring her.Ca: No obstant això, la ruta se li féu més difícil del que s'havia imaginat.En: However, the route became more difficult than she had imagined.Ca: Quan va veure un senyal indicant un camí poc transitat que prometia vistes espectaculars, va decidir agafar-lo.En: When she saw a sign indicating a little-traveled path that promised spectacular views, she decided to take it.Ca: La temptació d'un paisatge nou li donà coratge.En: The temptation of a new landscape gave her courage.Ca: Però aviat es va trobar perduda, el camí girava i es perdia entre les roques com un laberint enigmàtic.En: But soon she found herself lost, the path twisting and getting lost among the rocks like an enigmatic labyrinth.Ca: La força s'esfuma, i el cansament es convertí en el seu únic company de viatge.En: Her strength faded, and fatigue became her only travel companion.Ca: Just quan estava a punt de rendir-se, va veure dues figures que s'acostaven pel camí: eren en Pere i en Jordi, també aventurers del lloc.En: Just when she was about to give up, she saw two figures approaching along the path: they were Pere and Jordi, also adventurers from the area.Ca: Veient la seva lluita, els nois no van dubtar a oferir-li ajuda.En: Seeing her struggle, the boys did not hesitate to offer their help.Ca: "Vine amb nosaltres," digué en Pere amb un somriure.En: "Come with us," Pere said with a smile.Ca: "Conec un camí que et portarà més amunt del que imagines.En: "I know a path that will take you higher than you imagine."Ca: "Animada per la seva companyia i la seva confiança, Núria va superar el seu cansament i va seguir, el grup treballant com un sol equip per a superar el desafiament.En: Encouraged by their company and their confidence, Núria overcame her fatigue and followed, the group working as a single team to overcome the challenge.Ca: Així, entre converses i rialles compartides, van afrontar junts el tram final, arribant al cim quan el primer raig de sol il·luminava Catalunya.En: Thus, amid shared conversations and laughter, they faced the final stretch together, reaching the summit just as the first ray of sun illuminated Catalunya.Ca: La vista era impressionant i increïble.En: The view was impressive and incredible.Ca: Els colors del cel reflectits sobre les terres verdes sota ells eren una visió de calma i grandesa.En: The colors of the sky reflected on the green lands below them were a vision of calm and grandeur.Ca: En aquell moment, Núria va sentir que tot el viatge havia valgut la pena.En: In that moment, Núria felt that the entire journey had been worth it.Ca: Amb el cor ple de calma i decisió renovada, Núria va comprendre que els obstacles són part del camí, i que de vegades acceptar l'ajuda dels altres pot fer el trajecte més senzill i significatiu.En: With her heart full of calm and renewed determination, Núria realized that obstacles are part of the path and that sometimes accepting help from others can make the journey easier and more meaningful.Ca: Al costat de Pere i Jordi, va celebrar aquell moment, les seves ombres allargades pel sol que s'alçava majestuosament al cel.En: Alongside Pere and Jordi, she celebrated that moment, their shadows lengthened by the sun rising majestically in the sky.Ca: La Núria va tornar a casa amb una nova confiança en si mateixa, sabent que estava millor preparada per afrontar els reptes que l'esperaven.En: Núria returned home with new confidence in herself, knowing she was better prepared to face the challenges awaiting her.Ca: L'excursió a Montserrat no només li donà la claredat que buscava, sinó també una comprensió més profunda de la bellesa de compartir el camí amb altres.En: The hike to Montserrat not only gave her the clarity she sought, but also a deeper understanding of the beauty of sharing the journey with others.

Join Tonia and guest, Renee Davenport, as they navigate health and longevity through the lens of ayurvedic medicine and cross-cultural shamanism. These ancient traditions serve the mind, body, spirit, eliminating the cause of imbalances within our system that become impediments to our vibrant expressions of Self.  This encourages us to live again in harmony with nature and empowers us to understand our unique constitution on a more subtle level. When we recognize how our systems interact with the natural world, which includes the plant, mineral, and spirit worlds and the cosmic influences upon the earth as well as the seasons and the place we inhabit then maintaining balance becomes more manageable. By using food as medicine, many common ailments of modern life can be effectively reversed and by inviting ritual into our daily life and community we can heal and support each other in ways that celebrate our differences

Welcome to this episode of the Happy Hour podcast! In this episode, I was interviewed by Nick Purslow from Glampitect, about my retreat ranch in Marble Falls, Texas, which offers a unique blend of glamping and transformative retreats. There are up to 30 glamping units on my ranch, ranging from old trailers to yurts. Rates change with the seasons because the property caters to group bookings and has many amenities, such as dipping pools, a wood-burning sauna, and horse activities. Women's wellness, yoga, wine experiences, and more are all part of retreats. Although the ranch is a great place to relax and enjoy nature, hosting weddings and other special events can be hard. And I myself have learned a lot from these experiences.

How Nature Helps Us Feel Connected with Alena Chapman   Here's Everything You Need to Join Inevitable U! https://community.soulmanifesto.com/inevitable-u/   “Why do I need to be out in nature?” Someone asked me that this week, and the answer is so special—I just had to share it in an episode. Don't miss out on learning this secret of how being in nature can make us feel more alive. Listen to the episode now!   ️ Highlights ️    ️ If you're really having trouble with meditation, get out into nature, and if you really focus on where you are, and feeling the trees, and feeling the breeze, and listening to nature's symphony, that can help get you into a meditative state.    ️ Nature is life, and when you are out in that nature, it teaches us more and more about how connected we all are.    ️ Absolutely nothing like being out there in nature and having something happen that just makes you open your eyes and feel like all life wants is to feel connected.   ️  We're all one. That's why I say get out of the house. Get into nature. And start opening your eyes to the little bit of magic that is the very coolness of our world.   ️ Not every time I go out in nature do I experience miracles. Sometimes it's just peaceful. I can breathe, I get my centeredness. I get my whole self together. And I just feel at ease. And really happy. That's worth gold to you.   If you have any questions, or you would like Alena's help using these techniques in your life, just leave your questions in the comment section below or contact or go to:   www.soulmanifesto.com Http://soulmanifesto.com/contact/   #SoulManifesto #selfhelp #spiritualguidance #gratitude #manifestation #mentalhealth #soulwork #soulguidance #healingjourney #nature #naturewalk #healinginnature #natureheals #naturehealing #meditationtips

Numerous times through cancer treatment, I have found myself isolated at home or enduring a long hospital stay. Not being able to connect with nature has been one of the hardest parts of being sick. And, then, I found that I could get a front-row view watching birds through the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Bird Cams Project. Research shows that bird watching boosts mental health. It is my secret weapon to fight off sadness, anxiety and loneliness. Listen to my fascinating conversation with Ben Walters of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology about the healing power of nature.
