Have you ever wondered about what it’s like to live in the heart of New York City? I can only speak from my perspective about my favorite things, but I’ll be adding in the discoveries shared by my out of town students. I invite other New Yorkers from our community to add their favorites so that our guests from out of town who come here either for seminars, for Group or for Practitioner Skills development, can get some ideas about what they can do after class is over each day.

The Last Weekend in January 2013- Some Updates

Posted on January 28, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The last weekend in January was really nurturing  for me this year because I got to do some of my favorite things despite the extremely cold weather and my completion of a second round of the seasonal bug that so many people seem to have  this January.

On Friday night I went to one of the best Jazz sets that I’ve been to in a long time.  The venue was Dizzy’s  at Jazz at Lincoln Center, http://jalc.org/dizzys The outstanding performances were by Cyrus Chestnut, piano;  Stacy Dillard, saxophone; Neal Smith, drums; Dezron Douglas, bass; and special guest Jimmy Heath, saxophone.

It was celebration of  Cyrus Chestnut’s 50th birthday. The joy in playing the music composed mainly by Cyrus was evident in the performances all of the musicians.  The musical conversations between the players produced a rich, smooth and heavenly set.

On Saturday I was invited by my dear friend and colleague to do a special 2013 Intentions Group with  her interested psychotherapy clients and acquaintances .

There were thirteen participants in the group. Many of them had never heard of energy healing or Resonance Repatterning. With the wonderful energy of my colleague and her home as our foundation, we quickly entrained with each other.

The repatterning was the powerful Nun Karma Repatterning, which anyone, anywhere can access for free by clicking on the picture of the nuns shown on this blog.

The intentions that were energized by and for the group can be viewed on the Love From NYC page above  this post or by clicking here https://merylchodoshweiss.com/anonymous-service-page/

One of the most exciting parts of the session for me as the practitioner was my  muscle checking to use Infinity Healing as the  four minute modality to finalize the energy shifts and energize the new intentions..

It was the first time that I used Infinity Healing with thirteen people and transmitted the energy to each individual according to the dictates each person’s higher self.

Sunday was an extremely productive day. I wrote all of the needed updates about Infinity Healing soon to be included on www.beyourbliss.info.

Additionally, you can now find the following updates and additions to the blog here:

Finally, I’d like to share with you some pictures of the performance at Dizzy’s and share  my newly completed winter Zen garden.  The rock garden will disappear again when the flowers adorn the space.

Enjoy!

It’s Restaurant Week in New York City

Posted on January 18, 2013 by | Leave a comment

As some of you know I was employed by the New York City Department of Education for over thirty -two years first as a teacher and later as a social worker.

My final stint lasted fourteen years in one school where I literally had five different jobs simultaneously. Primarily, I was the person who was responsible to provide regularly scheduled counseling sessions to individuals and groups of children who were mandated to receive this service. I worked with over sixty children a week and some of these children were seen more than once a week.

In addition to that job, I was the person who: reported all suspicions of child abuse or neglect and interfaced with the appropriate authorities and agencies; monitored the attendance of all the children in the school and worked with parents and authorities to prevent/handle educational neglect; provided staff development training about child abuse and maltreatment; worked with parents and informed them of their rights when I submitted teacher referrals for their child to receive special education evaluations; ran weekly pupil personnel committee meetings;  provided “safe kids” training to each of the kindergarten classes.

Needless to say, lunch usually meant a fifteen minute break and the return to tasks at hand.

When I retired from the job one of my greatest pleasures was to have lunch out in a lovely restaurant in the city with one of my fellow retirees. For several years every month we enjoyed the Prix Fixe luncheons in some of the lovliest and elegant restaurants.

Over the years the monthly luncheon was replaced by monthly visits with my dear friend. We’d sometimes have extra nice lunches but going to the fancy restaurants to celebrate our liberation from our former school building was no longer important.

To celebrate my December birthday, this week we decided to return to Le Cirque,  http://www.lecirque.com

This was our third visit to the “new” Le Cirque ( it moved and completely changed its appearance in the new venue). Sitting in a decorated, comfortable room with delicious, beautifully presented food is very relaxing and luxurious.

Our waiter, Julio, provided great service and the two and a half hours we were there was simply a delight.

Here is a slideshow of my luncheon at Le Cirque.  I hope that you enjoy my pictures of the menu, the room, the building it is housed in, the plates, flowers and food.

New York City Holiday Store Windows

Posted on December 28, 2012 by | 3 comments

I hope that everyone enjoyed both the Solstice weekend and the holidays so far.

As usual, my Christmas night includes looking at the store windows with my family.

This year, We started at Barney’s on 60th Street and Madison Ave, but there were Disney characters in original  story/films in each of the windows.  It was not appealing to us so we moved along without pictures of the films.

The next stop was the Stuben Glass crystal star suspended in the intersection of  5th Avenue and 57th Street, the wonderful windows of Bergdorf Goodman and the small miniature holiday scenes in the windows of  Tiffany’s.

We drove down 5th Avenue and did not park the car to closely examine the tree nor the windows at Saks Fifth Avenue.  It was suddenly a very cold night and the windows were not as inviting as they have been in past years.

Finally we arrived at our favorite traditional windows at Lord and Taylor. These windows always charm us with their faithfully reproduced New York City and other holiday sights. Last year I showed you their wonderful New York City holiday kitchens and homes.

This year we are rewarded with a scene of the entrance to the Central Park Zoo, The Japanese Garden at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, a swanky penthouse apartment to name a few.

I hope that you enjoy this little slide show . Happy New Year Everyone!
