Feel stressed, anxious or even depressed? Having trouble sleeping? Can’t relax or stay calm?
Try Sound Baths!!! Some people unwind with a long bubble bath or a glass of wine. Others prefer a sound bath session. A sound bath experience is a great alternative way for anyone who has not yet learned how to meditate on their own. Music has been used for its therapeutic effects for thousands of years.
The sound frequency and the vibrations stimulate the brain and the Vagus nerve system so when your body and mind are relaxed, the brain will release happy chemicals (Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Endorphins), and higher Vagal tone makes your body better at regulating blood glucose levels, reducing the likelihood of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The immune system is at its best when we are relaxed.
In 2020, We are going to have not only the Sound Bath but also incorporate with different Monthly Theme-Focused Guided Meditation, and aromatherapy. So please mark your calendar and join us for a happier and healthier 2020!!!
Come unwind with Sound Bath and enjoy deep relaxation
7/24 (D6): 今天去Ebenalp坐纜車上山, 然後走一段路去看國家地理雜誌報導的一家延著山壁蓋的餐廳Äscher, 並在這裡享用一頓意外美味的午餐 (Homemade cheese tart with Appenzeller cheese, leek and onions, AND Creamy barley soup with dark bread, stripes of air-dried meat); 一個很特別的山洞, 然後去Appenzell, 一個很有趣的小鎮.
In 1978, the Swiss Open-Air Museum Ballenberg finally opened its doors and was presented to the public during a three-day celebration. After opening with 16 buildings, there were already 25 two years later and a total of 61 in 1985. Today, there are over 100 houses and other secondary buildings at Ballenberg. The basis for the academic concept of the Open-Air Museum Ballenberg was the work done by farmhouse researchers in Switzerland. It was fundamental in ensuring that there was a wide choice of the most important, typically characteristic forms of houses, farmsteads and settlements in this country.
The Swiss Open-Air Museum Ballenberg is not only an important cultural, research and tourist institution (although it does attract about 200,000 visitors from around the world every year), but with almost 200 workers at the museum during the season, from the middle of April until the end of October, the museum ranks as one of the most important employers in the area.
The Giessbach funicular was the first railway in the world to have a passing loop in the middle of the route, which was built in 1879, is the oldest in Switzerland still in operation.
Grandhotel Giessbach was built in 1873/74 by French architect Horace Edouard Davinet for the Hauser family in Zurich. By the time war broke out in 1914, the Grandhotel Giessbach had become the meeting point for high society. The hotel closed its doors in 1979 after two world wars with years of decline. There were plans for demolishing the entire original complex and building a modern concrete building, in the style of a “jumbo style” chalet, in its place.
Luckily, in November 1983, internationally renowned Swiss ecologist Franz Weber succeeded in buying the 22-hectare Giessbach estate and placing it under protection. In 1984 he reopened the site with a new restaurant, the “Park Restaurant”, and a small number of unrenovated rooms. Renovations took place over seven stages each winter until the hotel’s structural level had been entirely renovated and the edifice once again took its place among the most beautiful and renowned buildings in Swiss hospitality.
Franz Weber died this year in April, was 91 years old.
All the Trümmelbach Falls, except the lowest, were invisible to human eyes, and unapproachable, from the last Ice Age about 15’000 years ago until they were first rendered accessible in 1877. They were hidden inside the mountain, which is why the name “Trümmelbach” does not convey a visual impression, as is the rule with waterfalls, but an acoustic one. “Trümmelbach” comes from “Trommelbach” meaning a stream that sounds like a drum.
The amount of water in the falls varies greatly. From December to March there is just a little stream trickling down under thick sheets of ice. After frosty nights in April and October the flow of water measures only a few dozen liters a second. But between April and June, when the snow melts, and between June and September, when the glacier ice melts, as well as after heavy rain and thunderstorms, as much as 20’000 liters a second may come thundering through the rocky defile. The little stream becomes a mighty river.
我這次選最便宜的PODS (Share Bathrooms), 整棟PODS Dorm有幾間房我不是很確定, 不過每間房有八個Pods, 上層床號是雙數 (天花板較高, 樓梯窄小, 感覺較隱密), 下層床號是單數. 我建議選靠窗這頭, 因為房門開關很大聲. 房間內沒有電視或電話, 但有WIFI.
The Swiss franc (CHF) 瑞士法郎是瑞士的官方貨幣 (and in Liechtenstein). 瑞士法郎的紙幣很美麗, 五種幣值有不同的顏色和長度. 銅板有七個尺寸和幣值 (五塊, 二塊, 一塊, 50毛, 20毛, 10毛, 5毛). 瑞士周邊的國家, 德國法國意大利和奧地利, 則用歐元.

每個結帳櫃檯有一個板子, 將輸送帶分成二個, 等於給你多一點的時間裝袋, 但是結帳時不但要自己裝袋, 動作請快, 因為有些結帳員不是很有耐心等你.
能帶的就是Kambly的餅乾, 口味選擇很多, 上面是綜合組的一種, 其他還有很多種類只有單賣. 在瑞士餐廳喝咖啡, 通常會在咖啡湯匙上附上一塊小點, 剛好都是Kambly的餅乾, 所以我吃過二種, 小蛋捲(Caprice),
