Tudo Bem, the first LineQuartz centre energetic treatment in Portugal... Try it, you will love it!

We love the diversity Olhão has to offer. We recently met with Rahima Petignot, from France and the owner of Portugal’s first LineQuartz energetic treatment centre. Rahima always felt the desire to accompany people in order to help them transform their lives, to face the difficulties that we all face at some point. After 15 years of consulting, she decided to turn the page of wage labour and launch herself without a safety net. Rahima kindy shares her interesting journey with us to how she got to where she is now In 2015, I created my company, Solutions Keys 2 Change (SK2C). My credo, support for change and personal and professional coaching. Our first stay in Portugal was in 2009, where we had a wonderful stay visiting the Algarve coasts, we were based in São Brás de Alportel. It was in 2016 that we met Olhão, we were based in Quelfes and came to celebrate my husband's birthday with the whole family. We strolled through the streets of Olhão, amazed by its cobbled streets and its very special fisherman's houses, the mosaics, the Moorish chimneys, marisco festival, market and islands. My favourite island is undoubtedly "Farol". We really fell in love with this city and the Olhão way of life. Carpe Diem… In 2017 we went back to spend our summer holidays in Portugal, this time to visit the Alentejo on the side of Ourique, Santa Luzia. It was then that the crazy project of settling in Portugal with our 2 children was born. We had a mission and went back to France with our hearts filled with joy and hope. In 2018 we bought our house in downtown Olhão, we organised the renovation to be ready for us at the start of the 2019 school year. In September 2019, we disembarked as a family in Olhão, a complicated year followed, the house was not ready yet and only a few months after our arrival the pandemic entered. Work and projects were on stand-by, the fear of the virus stressed us out and lockdown temporarily prevented us from moving on with our future… It is with all this stress and lack of forward movement that in 2020, I meet Yannick Delgado who presented me with his invention: the LineQuartz. (I was very tired and worn out when I went to see him at his office). I discovered this device, and it was fabulous. I finally relaxed, and I got a good sleep for the first time since all these events. I took the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of the world of energy care. Yannick then suggested that I launch a LineQuartz centre in Portugal… A year later, in December of 2021, I opened my first LineQuartz centre in my favourite city, Olhão. Tudo Bem in Olhão had opened its doors.

WHAT IS LINEQUARTZ?

The LineQuartz is a Non-Invasive Medical Device created by a FrancoPortuguese M. Yannick Delgado in 2016. It is a complete energy care device that combines 4 therapies in one: Light Therapy, Chromotherapy, Music Therapy and Lithotherapy.

It is particularly useful to relieve people suffering from:

• Burn-out • Stress, anxiety, seasonal depression, sleep disorder • Loss or lack of self-confidence • Concentration disorders • Hypersensitivity • Chronic pain • Anxieties, fears • Muscle recovery, And more… LineQuartz acts directly on the cells of the human body, it helps boost the immune system and soothe the entire emotional system.

LineQuartz therapy is done in 4 steps.

The first step is to cleanse the physical and mental cellular memories in the body. This is the crystallisation of stress. The second is a release and an emotional rebalancing. There is then a liberation of the physical body. Finally, we are subjected to a global rebalancing of the organism and a deep relaxation.

BENEFITS

It is an exceptional therapy to enhance your well-being. It frees our cells from the weight of our emotions, especially the oldest ones which hinder us. After the therapy session our body is restored to new conditions. This rebalances the biological rhythm of our body and reactivates our self-healing power. • Deep relaxation • Appeasement • Reduction of pain • Increases selfconfidence • Improves sleep quality.

FOR WHOM?

The LineQuartz is suitable for both adults and children. However, its application does not in any way replace medical treatment. It can be a complementary treatment to medical care. It is also suitable for our animal friends.

LEST WE

FORGET By Chris Wright

As Eastern Europe is thrown into turmoil, thoughts turn to WW2 when tyranny last threatened world stability. On the 19th of April it will be exactly 80 years to-the-day when two young airmen lost their lives as their aircraft crashed near Gibraleón in Andalusia, just sixteen kilometres from the border with Portugal. On the morning of that fateful day their Bristol Beaufighter Mk. VIc, with registration T4936 belonging to 236th Squadron of the Royal Air Force took off from RAF Trebeluze (St Mawgan, Cornwall), bound for the Middle East with a stopover in Gibraltar. The plane lost control, possibly being shot down by Spanish anti-aircraft batteries, as eyewitnesses described seeing flames coming from the aircraft before it crashed seconds later. Its two crew members, the pilot 27 year-old Sergeant Geoffrey Lennox Avern and the operator/observer 21 year-old Sergeant Philip Bernard Crossan, died instantly. Philip Bernard Crossan was the son of Bernard and Elsie Margaret Crossan, of Borough Road, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire. Sgt Avern was born on the 27th of April 1914, in Gunnedah, New South Wales. He qualified as a teacher in 1932 before enlisting in the Royal Australian Air Force. After completing his military training he saw service in South Africa before being promoted to Sergeant and joining the 236th Beaufighter Squadron at Wattisham, near Ipswich, Suffolk, some 10,000 miles from his home in Australia. The airmen were initially buried by the Spanish authorities in Gibraleón Roman Catholic cemetery, but were removed in June 1951 because the graves could not be properly maintained. Now their remains languish in the British Cemetery at Huelva. On the wall behind these graves is a plaque commemorating Able Seaman Percy Longthorpe who died on 14 December 1918, aged 24, following an explosion on HMS Adventure that was undergoing repairs at the docks in Huelva. The overgrown and dilapidated British Cemetery adjoins the immaculately kept Nuestra Señora de la Soledad (Our Lady of Solitude) where the body of Welshman Glyndwr Michael rests, an integral part of Operation Mincemeat. The British Cemetery is scheduled for renovation but not until 2023! In the meantime it is hoped that volunteers will be given permission to clear the area around the airman's graves in time for a small group of people, including the Defence Attachés from the Australian and British Embassies, to lay flowers in homage to these young men. On entering or leaving the British cemetery, it is easy to walk past the bullet-scarred exterior of the gates and walls without recognising them as tangible and moving evidence of Huelva province’s involvement in the Spanish Civil War. Against these walls, between 1936 and 1941, hundreds of republican sympathisers and activists from across the province, many whose identity remain a mystery, were executed by firing squads. Sergeant Crossan’s headstone bears the inscription, “For honour, liberty and truth he sacrificed his glorious youth”. Unfortunately these very words now ring true for so many young people in Ukraine.
