Vegan Ultra-Runner Sets Record on Appalachian Trail




Yesterday afternoon, plant-powered ultra-runner Scott Jurek set a new record, completing what he calls his “masterpiece” — he ran 2,189 miles on the Appalachian Trail in 46 days, 8 hours, and 7 minutes. That’s three hours faster than the previously held record set in 2011 by Jennifer Pharr Davis.
Jurek started his journey on May 27 at Springer Mountain in Georgia. Crossing through 14 states and averaging nearly 50 miles a day, he reached the summit of Mount Katahdin in Maine on Sunday afternoon.
A legend in the running world, Jurek is considered one of the greatest ultrarunners of all time. He’s a seven-time winner of the Western States 100-miler as well as a two-time winner of the Badwater 135-miler which is described as “the world’s toughest foot race.”  In 2010, he set a US record at the World 24-hour Run Championships in Brive, France, where he ran 165.7 miles in 24 hours, averaging 8:42 minutes per mile. That’s equivalent to running 6.5 marathons in one day!
In his best-selling book Eat & Run, Jurek chronicles his journey in ultra-running and vegan eating. His inspiring story empowers readers to “go the distance” by going out for that first run, exploring the limits of your own potential, and expanding your food horizons by thinking about food as fuel to help you achieve your goals.
You can see photos and read more details about Jurek’s Appalachian Trail adventures on his Facebook page.  And you can also discover the many benefits of plant-based eating at TryVeg.com.

11,111, 11:11 and twin flames

According to numerology the number 11 possesses the qualities of patience, honesty, spirituality, sensitivity, intuition and is idealistic and compassionate. Those PEOPLE  who are drawn to 11, operate on a different level of energy than most, and when two people come together who both have this type of energy it’s almost combustible. 11:11 is the universe’s way of urging us to pay attention to our heart, our soul and our inner intuition. It’s serving as a wake-up call to us so that opportunities are not missed in this lifetime. Seeing this particular sequence means that the universe is trying to have us open our eyes and begin paying more attention to the synchronicities around us. Seeing 11:11 also is a sign of experiencing accelerated soul growth, which means that we may soon be finding ourselves living the LIFE  we had previously only thought about. Our inner world is changing and we may find PEOPLE  and events coming unexpectedly into our LIVES —but at just the ri...

Προσευχή για εσωτερικά μπλοκαρίσματα στη Θεά Αθηνά

Προσευχή για Εσωτερικά Μπλοκαρίσματα «Ιερή Θεά Αθηνά, σοφή Μητέρα και Κόρη της γνώσης, μέσα από την καρδιά μου και τον εσωτερικό μου ναό Σε καλώ με σεβασμό κι αγάπη. Ιερή Αθηνά με το ιερό Σου ξίφος κόψε οποιονδήποτε ενεργειακό λώρο που με συνδέει με τοξικές καταστάσεις και βαριά συναισθήματα που δεν με εξυπηρετούν και που με εμποδίζουν να προχωρήσω. Ιερή Θεά Αθηνά φέρε τη δύναμη της απελευθέρωσης και της δύναμης. Σπάσε όλα τα εσωτερικά μπλοκαρίσματα σχετικά με την κατάσταση που βιώνω τώρα στη ζωή μου και άνοιξε το ποτάμι της ροής μου. Ευχαριστώ κι ευγνωμονώ.» * Κάψτε λευκά κι ασημένια κεριά, για να ενισχύσετε αυτή την προσευχή. Κάψτε, επίσης, το θυμίαμα της Θεάς Αθηνάς. Απο το εγχειρίδιο 21 προσευχές για την υγεία της Ψυχής. 

When the Twin Flame Kundalini rises and Souls merge

Kundalini is the ancient Sanskrit name for the primal life force that animates all living beings. The activation of this energy, also known as Holy Spirit, Chi or Prana, initiates the process of spiritual growth and enlightenment by unifying our body, mind, and soul. Since it originates from the Divine Source, it leads into an expanded state of consciousness and interconnects us with all living beings – and ultimately God. It also unveils our true nature, nourishing our individual uniqueness and validating our sacred purpose – while encouraging others to do the same. Since the illumination of the kundalini in the brain allows a person to discern the truth of Oneness, all self-realised persons see this same truth. This seed or spark of god energy lies dormant within us, coiled tightly around our root chakra awaiting the time of our spiritual awakening. Once ignited, the kundalini fire moves up through the rest of the Chakras (energy centres), activatin...
