                                      Spiritual Renewal is an activity that people practice in order to clean and renew their spirit, and thus get close  with God. This is a good way to explore our soul and and develop our inner peace. In modern life, as we can see in this unit people practice many forms of spiritual renewal, such as fasting, retreat, meditation, spending time withdraw from the society and so on. In my case I usually keep silent during the morning to keep my mind calm and get good vibes when I go out to work. I mean  this unit is very useful in such a difficult time as this because in this quarantine due to the Coronavirus, most people need to practice meditation and other activities that help them to develop their inner peace and overcome the crisis caused by stress and confinement.

Spiritual Renewal  Personally, I think this has been a very good unit, which was based on religious aspects which were of great importance. Basically, this unit was about a type of holy or spiritual feeling in all religions. It goes beyond good and about the awakening of a person self awareness. In my personal opinion, I would say that  spirtitual renewal means something like, finding your inner self, or inner happiness. Also, I think that spiritual renewal is to live in God's favor, this means to became a new person and to follow God. I know that God has something really beautiful for us. He has a new beginning, and he will remove from your heart unnecessary things that are not making you happy. Finally, I would like to share this information with you guys. I think it can also be very helpful for all of us. Here is the link:  https://newlife.com/start-spiritual-renewal/ Where to Start Spiritual Renewal But if we walk in the light, as He is in the l...

Feng Shui According to the book Feng Shui is a Chinese art 🖼or practice of arranging the environment in order to achieve harmony. Basically, it teaches people how to balance and harmonize the energies in any given space - at home, office, building project, garden etc. Personally, I think that Feng Shui is very important because it helps us to create a comfortable environment.  In this unit I have learned that we can create our own environment where we can feel comfortable, happy and pleasant. I would say that Feng Shui is based on positive energy which is good. I think that some people should try it in order to have a positive reaction. I found something really good on internet, and I would like to share this information with all of you guys.

In my personal experience, this unit has been the most interesting  from this book, it is about spiritual things, what people do or not depending on their religion, and what is the right way for keeping close to the lord. This unit talk about some religions such as: Eastern religions, all religions, Judaism ✡️, Episcopalianism, Mormonism, Islam ☪️ etc. I also learn something new for me , it is fasting, I didn’t know why religious people do that, but after reading this interesting unit I do. People fast for breaking attachments (connection) to material things, also because it allows to increase your faith by putting aside your carnal needs, and because through fasting you train you spirituality and your soul. As you can see if you reas this unit, each religion is different but they have something in common, it is that same goal, keeping close to God.

In Spiritual Renewal we talk about fast . What is fasting? Fasting is breaking the connection that we have to material things. Like;food, drink,work,travel,dance,sex,etc... When you fast you have no interest in material things you have an ascetic life. And also when you fast, you are training your spirit to be strong from tentation.Because fasting is like  a spiritual gym, and when you fast you don't need anything. You feel that it is enough to live. Praying, and fasting give our life the nutrition that they need to be healthy.

Unit VI Spiritual Renewal.   I liked this unit very much because it is about spiritual renewal, here in this unit we are able to see why people fast. Also here we can see that in modern life, there are many forms of spiritual renewal. A lot of people do small daily rituals; other people choose to get out of the city for a few days, often by going to a mountain.   In my case I fast to clear my mind and to get inspired, I do because I like to write and make YouTube videos, and sometimes I run out of ideas, and when that happens I take some time to fast and renewal my spirit and clear my mind.

I'm going to talk a little about Spiritual Renewal. To find a spiritual Renewal we have to start with the realization that Spiritual Renewal comes from God. Don't seek the experience of spiritual Renewal, but seek the one who renew your spirit. When people came to Jesus to have their needs met, very often He redirected their thinking's.He taught them to lift their eyes from their own daily necessities and seek good first.He told them them "He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the kingdom of God your primary concern".

Feng Shui: The Role of the Mirrors  When it comes to decoration, I did know how important it is to arrange things to have a good aesthetic view; however, I did not know the existence of the art of aligning things in the environment to create harmony and good luck, known as Feng Shui. And, this art aims to create both physical and psychological comfort. After listening to the interview in the unit, I realized that my house does not fulfill some of the main ideas of Feng Shui. For example, all the bedrooms in my house have large mirrors and none of the other rooms has one, and this goes against Feng Shui and the role of the mirrors. According to Lagattre, you should not put mirrors in the bedroom because it can scare you and frighten your spirit; however, you should place them in other rooms since they would reflect chi energy and help it to circulate in a more healthy way. Therefore, everything must be placed in a certain way to create harmony and to release your chi energy...

   The tipping point is a pivotal moment in which smaller changes or situations lead us to a significant condition or transformation in our life. It is considered as the period in which our life turns at all in a once. When it comes to human history, we have had many tipping points such as, becoming part of the industrial system and leaving behind the medieval culture, or the invention of the weel. Those were events that altered the course of history.    Regarding our personal life, I found pretty interesting the work of Malcolm Gladwell, who has embraced the tipping point in one of his books, taking the idea of following a plan to achieve the development of the right design in the correct position, and with the appropriate people to generate a tipping point which can guide us to a better and unstoppable revolution in our life. In his book, he applied sociologist knowledge to find the means to raise the conditions needed for the tipping point of an idea, prod...

Regarding unit 3 about The Bold and the Bashful, most of 90 percent of adults have experienced shyness at a certain point of their lives, in different social interactions. However, for the rest 30 - 40 percent considered to have an overall bashful personality, life can be challenging due to the limited social skills they develop throughout their lives. In many cases, shyness can lead them into human isolation, maladjustment in society, or even unemployment. Independently of the results of having a shy or bold personality, the principal purpose of this piece is the origin of them. The following report was taken from Newsweek, in which the Newsweek staff takes different studies made about how children can grow bold or bashful while in childhood. Including theories about the origin of shyness, which was considered the result of a habit formation at the beginning, but recently,  it is assumed that it might have a partial hereditary factor as well.  I invite you all to read...

Spiritual renewal for me does not mean that we have to fast to get a renewed spirit or our body, it depends if your actions are good or not. If fasting has its benefits, yes it has its benefits, for example, it burns the energy from what you have consumed, mainly the glucose from your blood or the glycogen from your muscles and liver, instead of the fat it has stored, and it is a real sacrifice to our god.

Feng shui is an ancient discipline developed by the Chinese, it it refers the harmony around the people according with the decoration of room, the meaning of feng shui is water and wind, water represents abundance, wealth... That is the reason why people use feng shui doctrine, in addition, come to my mind the aquarium of sambil, I think it is based in feng shui doctrine.

I would like to say that it wants to give us how to have a relaxing, healthy and peace life using new designs for our house. In my experience as relaxing girl and lover of the simple things, this  is a great a idea, because it focus a simple life living with simple things. It focus that our souls connect with the harmony of the nature, lights and environment that we are living.  This is could be great to start a new life in harmony. ✨

Feng Shui: ancient Wisdom Travels West In my opinion Feng Shui is a discipline that people have acquired through the years because we can organized a lot of thing in our houses for attracting luck. This discipline has become so popular in the world a lot of president practice it inclusive Donald Trump according to the text, before he start a construct a building   have to be present Feng Shui. A lot of people in the world practice Feng Shui, but this discipline have too much rules, but it is not difficult for who practice it.

Unit V Feng Shui: Ancient Wisdom Travels West. When we talk about Feng Shui, we referred to old knowledge that came to the west, and when I say west I mean to America and Europe. At the beginning Feng Shui only exists in china; but then it spread out to the American and Europe continent.  Feng Shui has to do with the adoption of costumes in the American continent, many costumes that at the very begging only Chinese people had it, now we have some of these costumes this side of the world.  Name: Yeris Valdez Valdez ID Number: 100226136

Unit IV The tipping point When we talk about tipping point, we are talking about important changes that happen in a country or to people’s lives.   Perhaps when we referred to tipping point, things can get a little bit confused, because there are event or changes that can happen in a person’s live and it does not have to be a tipping point. Something that is definitely a tipping point is the COVID-19 quarantine; it is a tipping point because all of this COVID-19 quarantine is new for the whole world or at least to some country.   Name: Yeris Valdez Valdez ID Number: 100226136

Muslims and Ramadam I've asked my self many times about other religions and cultures, I really love history and I spend most of my time studying history by watching videos or even watching history TV channels as History and H2 as well as Discovery channels. I watch this video to know a little more about Ramadan and what they celebrate this day. First of all lets start by saying that Islamic is an Abrahamic religion an all his militants are called Muslims Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset every day of the Ramadan holy month, they break the fast with a huge buffet that they take advantage of that time to share with the families, mezquites and communities. I definitely agree with fasting because during that time you need to concentrate on something else in order for you to acomplish the fasting goal. I did fast once from sunrise to sunset, during that time I prayed and watched Christian movies and try to reach my inner self.

How to Create Good Feng Shui in Your Home 1.  Brighten Up Your Entry In feng shui, your entry represents how energy enters your home and your life. We say the front door is the “mouth of qi.” Naturally, the entry is first place to start when you want to create good feng shui in your home. Start with decluttering and removing any debris. A lot of objects tend to accumulate at the front door. I'm not saying it needs to be completely empty, but rather uncluttered. Make it work for you. Next, sweep and clean up the area. The front entry (interior and exterior) is often overlooked. Wipe down the door and shake out the door mat. Take a good look around. Then can you make this space more inviting and spacious by removing or adding anything. This creates a place for the energy that enters your home to collect and gather.  Finally, make sure this space is well lit and bright. Add lighting or change the bulbs. 2.
