EVOLVING YOUR SPIRIT - MIND - BODY

Interview with a young Polish yogi - White Flame.

2011-04-28T15:40:00.002-05:00

"When you're standing barefoot on the earth, your desires and your life aspirations change. You will look at the world differently. You eliminate confusion, ridding yourself of feelings of pressure and the race for something. You begin to feel the unity of life and the pulsing of the whole universe within you". - White Flame (Samuel)

My road to inedia

I recently interviewed a very interesting young man and, to be honest, I admire him. From the first meeting "The White Flame", because that's who I'm refering to, aroused in me a great interest. Not just because, even in winter, he walks barefoot, but because he leads a life so different than the rest of society ... I saw passion and authenticity in what he does .... I saw his burning, firey spark, the White Flame.

The man I interviewed was Samuel known as White Flame.

Krystyna: Please, introduce yourself.

Samuel: Hey there. I’m Samuel and I’m the author of few blogs on the Internet around the topics of pranic
nourishment and healing with fire. I’m just a normal guy, who dedicated his life to yoga and mind
purification practices. From my education level – I’m a musician and a composer.

K: Your new name „White Flame", why and what does it mean?

S: That nick name isn’t really new, I’m using it for about 10 years or so.
I don’t remember exactly when I used it for the first time. I remembered once that when I was about 17 years old, I had a dream of an older woman, probably a Master, asked me: “have you ever seen the white flame”, then I forgot completely about this dream, and I remembered years later when I was already using this nick. For me it is an American Indians name, a shamans name, that exactly matches to what I do in life, it is just perfect one for me.
I heal, cleans myself and others with fire, candles, fire is one of my basic and fundamental medications, which lift me up back on my own feet straight in life after a series of traumas and some other people as well.
Flame – means the fire, White – means using it for sacred and spiritual purposes (like shifting our consciousness and deepening our meditation) and healing.
The White Flame doesn’t do much in life, it just is there and burns calmly and tries to lights up some darkness around, burns the evil around, which was my wish to do so, I have been placed on earth to generate the Maharishi Effect, which means calming down the world through meditation and cleansing people. There are different invisible beings sometimes working through me, some times I only do things for my own enlightenment, which achieving the state of Buddha is my most important aim . I believe that, cleansing one persons aura I really help a dozen or so people connected emotionally to that person, generating a domino effect in the society, it creates peace in families, greater relaxation in places of great tension. I try shifting
awareness of people to a more subtle level and less aggressive states.

K: What is Pranarianism?

S: I don’t really know if there is an officially existing word like that, rather not but it circulates around the web among some people. However it reflects exactly what I’m doing and that’s why I like to use it. Shortly speaking for me it is “ an ability to nourish the body with etheric energies (existing in the nature), absorbing them and converting them in the body, which can lead sometimes to life without the need of solid food”. But I promote prana absorption techniques indifferently if someone eats or not. Prana is the key, not the “not eating” called inedia. That’s only my personal definition, everyone has his own different one.
A very popular name relating to his topic is the word “breatharianism”, which I don’t really like as it
is very misguiding and doesn’t contain the essence what it should have, a part somehow relating
it to prana, and prana we absorb from the environment in different ways not only through air, the
“breath” in the word and breathing process, and definitely the techniques which I use are not only
breathing techniques (so called pranayamas). The topic is much more wider than that. It is not
only living on air!
Another name for this phenomenon is “Living On Light” or “Living In Light” and here we have an
imprecision . Some people associate living on light with living on sunlight and sun gazing and
some with living on spiritual “liquid light”, the HOLY SPIRIT which is something different than the
sun and etheric energies existing in the nature. So if we think of living on the sun, it is equal to
pranarianism or at least one of it’s elements, as sun gazing is one of our feeding techniques. If
we think of channelling down energy from spiritual sources, different higher dimensions, that is
something different. In Huna, the energy in the nature is called MANA, and the spiritual energy
MANA MANA. The difference is like in the Bible, SPIRIT of the nature and HOLY SPIRIT of GOD
send down to us from the heavens. I practice both methods, but recently I started to concentrate
more on feeding myself like a plant, including absorbing the energy from the sun, air, earth and
other plants/trees too, which hasn’t been really presented yet publicly properly.

K: Bear footing...

S: Walking bear feet is one of the conditions the techniques I describe to work properly and a beautiful natural experience. It is the most natural thing for our body, for me shoes are almost a crime for our bodies, because their gum sole isolated the body for the earth electromagnetic field which often leads to different kind of sicknesses. Bear foot walking unifies us with the earth and makes our mind/brain function much better and is fundamental for energy feeding. If you don’t have the conditions to walk bear feet, nourishing with prana will never be proper and we’ll feel discomfort.

K: Do you always live on prana?

S: Paradoxically no, and that is also my principle – no strict discipline!!! I once wanted it like that ,
but I understood that it’s not the proper way. Why? It is logical. Every type of feeding the body,
activates different organs for it. Contrarily to a typical human being who strains his digestive
system and stomach eating at least 3 times per day a heavy mix of different stuff, that saying it
simply – makes him sick, and leading to the atrophy of all pranic abilities totally, I try to use and
develop all the systems quite evenly. An average person has a huge part of his brain blocked, the
most subtle canals are slimed because of overeating and lack of fasting in modern culture. The
whole body is destabilised because of eating. But you can also strain the organs responsible for
pranic nourishment as well, if you use only them, so it good to use the stomach from time to time.
Maybe once per week, or per month for example.
People who totally left eating for pranic nourishment, had their stomach shrink completely, and I
have also experienced that myself. It’s a very funny feeling when you feel as if you didn’t have a
stomach :) But I like my stomach, and I will use it from time to time. It is part of this experience on
earth, of human body experience. I have the right to use it, whenever I want to experience the
taste of different foods, sweetness of fruits etc. But I don’t strain it!! When I eat, I make it simple
for the body: I eat mono-type foods at one time, I don’t mix, I don’t join to many substances in
one meal, just one, no spices to cheat the body to put worthless unfresh crap into it. I don’t make
the digesting process hard for the body, I don’t overload it with different chemical rubbish, just
mostly fruits in their natural fresh form guided by intuition.
When I’ll lose the interest in experiencing tasting here on earth, I may move my consciousness to
a different body, similar to a so called gray who doesn’t have a digestive system and doesn’t eat.
A different thing is that I exist in a human society, and people do eat, they eat all the time, and the
whole living is constructed on the base of eating. When I stop eating, I lose connection to people,
I lose interest in this world, my mind floats away somewhere else, I enter a different mind wave
frequency. Unfortunately, on my level of evolution, my survival in this world is based on
connections with people and there is always some business to do. When I meditate in isolation, I
chose to feed with prana, because I have a brighter mind then and a better connection to myself
and for example a chance to heal something in my body through detoxification.

K: How does your feeding life style look like when you’re not living on prana?

S: Because I practice meditation, mainly at home, and not in the forest like Buddha ( also in a
different climate) it cancels my chances of nourishing with energy constantly. When I’m in the
bush, for example in a tropical climate, feeding with energy becomes really easy and simple, and
just comes naturally without any programming or so. Then I have a lot of energy. For example: 2
weeks without any food, walking 10km on sand bear feet, carrying a really heavy bag, not feeling
tired just enjoying really the walk in the suns heat, not really sweating, no thirst. Full connection
with the earth, feeling of unity with everything. Just joy.

I did practice living totally on divine-spiritual energy, closing myself totally for the nature, and it allowed me to for example: a whole month to work 8 hours a day in a very busy office environment among lots of people, without starring at the sun as I didn’t have time for that, (walking out of home before sunrise, and getting back after sunset), without any hunger, without barefoot walking, sometimes lifting heavy objects, without being weak. But I did feel I was straining a part of my body and I felt discomfort with that. My body didn’t call for food, I wasn’t hungry at all, but it started to beg me to shut down that part at the top of my head/brain that was responsible for the converting the energy and hugely opened and grew. I felt as if I had a gigantic cone above my head and it was beautiful in some sort of way. It was a strain and I learned a lot through this experience. I ate some fruits, the brain shut down ( I literally saw the 7th chakra close down) to a relief to me as the pain of overusing went away, as if I
had run a marathon, and the cone disappeared. If I do this technique again when there is no sun for a longer time, the cone appears again.

- this image shows what I mean, the shape above the head, this is a reality, after a longer time of
divine nourishment in our aura we can observe such shape.
So, if I have a normal life at home, writing for several hours on the computer in a closed room –
which in fact leads the body to shut down the chakras and the absorption of energy from the
nature activating the stomach more, I try to live a way like this:

- in the morning – a session/ meditation, channelling the divine energy, that is my breakfast and
most important food ever, after which I feel well and feel love to everything, love is also
nourishment. I also spend many hours on purification stuff

- some times if the weather is nice and I get up early and then it looks different.
I do watch the sunrise for about 45 min. If not, it maybe the sun set, at least an hour on fresh air
searching for the sun. Sun is very important for me and keeps me in balance. I try to undress
myself to get half naked if possible, and I practice sun gazing bear feet naked. Exposing the skin
to sunlight, for me it is nourishment, we get energy through this. Looking at the sun is a beautiful
experience and gives me enthusiasm to work.
If there is no sun, I try to get the energy from practising qi gong exercises under trees, which also
works great, sometimes better than sun gazing.

- later, if I have a day outside, in the nature, for example working/ spending time in my tipi, that
would be enough for the day, and I rather won’t eat

- if I’m at home, I mean a solid wall building isolated from the earth, then I feel discomfort if I
spend there most of the day, I may start to eat some fruits and juices or nuts. That’s how it works
for me, everyone has it different ;)

Now important: - if I work with my mind, with a client or myself, if I do a past life regression for
example, pulling out heavy emotional content from the mind, some times from deep past, and I’m
going through experiencing heavy emotions, even very wild feeling, this may push me
sometimes to emotional eating, eating stuff which is actually resonating in that moment with those
emotions. Mind purification is always more important for me than my inedia or not. I don’t care if
then I allow myself to temporally eat as this also discharges and lets go of tension too, and is a
part of the cleansing process. It’s like Buddha eating rice to the surprise of his pupils. So if after
the session my body says: “I want a bread” or something I belief is even toxic, that I would
normally never eat, I will give that to it, because releasing pressure on myself is also therapeutic,
and I see this kind of way of releasing emotional mind content as done properly, and eating
something also may trigger a hidden part of a suppressed content of our subconsciousness which
gets dissolved through awareness (however I would never eat meat).
It is like smoking a cigarette to smother something in us temporarily. Working with mind
purification such situations do happen and it is quite normal for people to eat after regressions.
But it’s just emotional eating from not working out all of the topics in life yet and doesn’t last long.

- if I’m in the bushes, or forest or just in the nature somewhere, I usually try to take the full
advantage of it, from the opportunity to feed myself totally easily without any food supporting my
body detoxification this way, and so I rather don’t eat at all, without any symptoms hunger or
weakening.
For me, all the written above, just sounds logical and doesn’t lead to straining anything in the
body.

K: Samuel, thank you very much for the interview. I still have many questions, and I hope that once again you will open the door and share your new experiences and knowledge. I wish that the White Flame burns forever in your heart and leads you to the path that is chosen for you!

How to Get Gigs
Roberta Brown not only plays the Walnut Room at Macy's for free - she bought the piano.

Roberta Brown
by Deanna Isaacs

If you ever ate at Big Shoulders Cafe, the restaurant that used to occupy a bay-windowed corner of the Chicago History Museum, you've probably heard Roberta Brown play the piano, because that used to be her gig. When she reminded me of it, I remembered how intense the music was there, how the sound reverberated off all the hard surfaces. She says she got that job after she walked in one day to pick up a couple of Latin School kids for their private lessons and couldn't resist the unoccupied piano.

"They never let me leave," she says. "I was there every day for lunch, for 12 years." The restaurant didn't pay her, but it fed her, and she brought in her own, much better piano—an 1894 Collard & Collard concert grand ("Elton John has the only other one," she claims). But then in 2005 "they had a $27 million renovation and there was no more music and no [real] cafe."

Even though the museum eventually opened the North & Clark Cafe in the same space, the Collard & Collard concert grand remains parked with a friend who has a roomier apartment than hers. But you can still hear Brown play. Her new venue is the Walnut Room at Macy's, which is where I introduced myself to Brown. I've pretty successfully avoided Macy's since it ousted Marshall Field's in 2005, but on a recent Sunday afternoon I had my favorite nine-year-old in tow, and a nine-year-old's December only comes around once.

Damned if the old store didn't look spectacular, all gussied up for the holidays in sparkling silver and Macy's blazing scarlet. Macy's has struggled on State Street, where a dauntless band of boycotters has been handing out flyers and buttons on weekends. But the wait for a Walnut Room table was an hour and a half. We settled for seats at the adjacent wine bar, with a partial view of the 45-foot tree and the fairy princesses in silver gowns and tiaras who were working the room. It was alive with a festive buzz, and with the anthems of the season coming from what looked like a baby grand piano.

The woman at the keys looked like somebody's granny, or maybe Mrs. Claus, her long white hair topped with a sequined visor and her belongings—coat, shopping bags—stashed nearby, as if she'd just come in off the street. A tip jar was perched prominently on the piano's lid. "Is that a customer?" I asked our server, who told us this story in response: There used to be a piano dealer in the store who loaned the shiny grand to the Walnut Room for special events. Then the store was sold and the dealer left, but the piano was still there. The staff thought the dealer had forgotten it, and called to remind him. That's when they learned to their surprise that Brown had purchased it to give to the store. "She bought it for the Walnut Room," said the server, "and we let her play it whenever she wants."

Brown says she'd been playing at Sunday brunch before Macy's bought the store. After the purchase the brunches went the way of the Field's name, but she wasn't going to let that stop her. "My art is my life, and my life is my hobby," she says, "and whatever I want to do, I do."

Brown is an octogenarian and a lifelong Chicagoan. Her mother emigrated from South Africa, her father (who became a successful men's shoes wholesaler) from Poland, and she and her younger brother were raised in a six-flat in Wicker Park. One side of the family was seriously musical, and the children were sent to the American Conservatory of Music in the Loop for lessons. Brown took piano there three times a week from the age of six. When it came time for high school, she took the train to Austin High because it had the best music program in the city. She went downstate to the University of Illinois for two years, then transferred to Roosevelt University's Chicago Musical College, where she studied with pianist and conductor Rudolph Ganz. By the time she graduated she had enough piano students of her own that she didn't need to look for a job.

She was in her early 20s when a mutual friend introduced her to "a fine young man from a good Hyde Park family." They kept company for about a year and then announced their engagement. But with plans under way for a big wedding at the Ambassador West Hotel, the bride began to think better of it. The daughter of a great cook, she'd never done anything in the kitchen and didn't want to. She saw herself as a professional, not a domestic. And then there was the family thing: "I love children," she says, "but I knew I'd rather teach them than raise them." Three weeks before the event, with invitations out to 300 people, she called it off. And though there've been other people in her life since (Irv, the steady for 12 years; Arthur, the orthodontist who moved to San Francisco), there's never been one she wanted to live with. She moved into an apartment in the Imperial Towers on Marine Drive when it opened in 1962 and she's lived there solo ever since. Nearly half a century, she says, and "my oven has never been turned on."

Don't waste your time thinking that might be a little lonely: Brown says her life has been completely happy and totally stress free precisely because there were no husbands to deal with or children to raise. And except for a little bout with skin cancer a decade or so ago that forced her to give up her daily bicycle trips downtown, she's been the picture of health. She chalks that up to vitamins and good eating: a sugar-free, salt-free diet also recently divested of white flour and pasta under the guidance of her friend Victor—nutrition maven and 34-year Lincoln Park doorman.

It couldn't have hurt that she's never worked for anyone but herself, and that the only work she does is what she loves: teaching the piano and playing it, along with a little fashion design, garments in her own glitzy style made for her, she says, by "artists" in India or Italy that she sells to people she knows. Never interested in becoming a concert pianist ("They have to practice 14 hours a day. It's a very introverted life," she says), she plays weddings and parties in the city's private clubs and homes; among the most memorable, she says, was the 80th birthday of former CSO conductor Georg Solti. Her adult students have included the likes of John Marshall Law School professor Ronald Smith, who says he told her up front that he wanted to play Scott Joplin and then they set out on a decade of Czerny and Bach.

Brown says the piano she bought for the Walnut Room is actually digital, designed to look and sound like a traditional grand but more affordable. She's not sure what her hours will be after the tree comes down January 11, but till then, from about noon to 3 PM weekdays and 11 AM to 4 PM Saturday and Sunday, you'll find her there. v

Raw cacao...

2009-11-24T19:45:00.005-06:00

Photo from Wikipedia Wikipedia

Mike Adams, author of the great book, The Illusion of Disease, the Health Ranger, editor of NaturalNews site: http://www.naturalnews.com/

Mike explores delicious raw cacao (chocolate) trees in the rainforest of Ecuador:

(NaturalNews ) Are you one of the rare individuals on this planet who does not like nor ever craves chocolate at some point in your life? But, if you are like most of the Western world, have you ever wondered why chocolate can be so addictive, apart from its rich sweet lingering taste? Well, it has to do with your brain chemistry and brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters.

What are neurotransmitters? They act like messengers or little power-brokers that run around in our brain telling the body what to do. They orchestrate our moods, influence our thought patterns, and affect our energy levels, states of alertness, concentration and drowsiness.

So what does chocolate and neurotransmitters have in common? Chocolate affects the brain by causing the release of certain neurotransmitters which can trigger emotions, one of which is euphoria; maybe that's why it is so desirable?

The health-benefits of chocolate have been known to us for some time now, but there is more to chocolate that we need to know. For instance, did you know that chocolate and cacao are not the same? True, there is a clear distinction between commercial chocolate which has no health benefits and organic dark chocolate, ideally with no added sugar. Yet if you're a chocolate lover, consider small amounts of raw cacao as a better option.

The reason why raw cacao is the best choice for healthy benefits is because raw cacao contains the very popular antioxidants (anti-aging guys) that make raw cacao a superfood. But there is more to know than just this.

Let's have a look at raw cacao:

Cacao is derived from Theobroma Cacao beans, which literally means "Food of the Gods". Cacao contains over 300 compounds including: protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, iron, zinc, copper, calcium and magnesium. Magnesium helps to build strong bones and is a muscle relaxant associated with feelings of calmness. Cacao is also high in sulfur, which helps form strong nails and hair.

Any frustration you have is simply the result of wrong thinking.

If you were thinking rightly you could not possibly
imagine that anything was going 'wrong.' You would
know that nothing in the Universe is working against
you. By definition, given Who You Are, this is
impossible.

Move, then, to gratitude when you encounter your

14 Ways to Prevent Swine Flu

2009-11-03T20:28:00.001-06:00

posted by Dr. Frank Lipman author of "Total Renewal: 7 Key Steps to Resilience, Vitality and Long-Term Health"

Don’t know whether or not to get the H1N1 vaccination? You might want to read some of these precautions before you sign up for the shot. If you’re opting for other ways to dodge the flu, here are 14 tips to boost your immunity and stay healthy this flu season.

1. Optimize your vitamin D level. Adequate levels of vitamin D are essential for our immune systems to function optimally. Unfortunately there are no significant dietary sources of vitamin D, most of our intake comes from exposure to sunlight. If you live far from the equator, you simply don’t get enough sun through Fall and Winter to make all the vitamin D you need. So unless you supplement during this period, your innate immunity will be compromised. vitamin D plays such a crucial role in so many aspects of your body’s functioning, that supplementing with it makes sense whether you decide to get the flu shot or not.

We know that influenza always gets worse during the winter months. Now there is good evidence to suggest that this is because as sunlight hours lessen during the winter, the people living in the northern hemisphere become vitamin D deficient and are susceptible to influenza infections of all kinds.

The current recommendations from the Food and Nutrition Board of the U.S. Institute of Medicine: from 200 to 600 IU/day depending on one’s age, are way too low.

These values were originally chosen because they were found to prevent osteomalacia (bone softening) and rickets. It is now recognized that vitamin D has many additional physiological functions, for which these levels are totally inadequate. A number of scientists are therefore calling for the Food and Nutrition Board in the U.S. and its counterparts abroad to reassess their current recommendations. Get your 25 hydroxy vitamin D level checked by your Doctor (if that is not an option, you can self test your level with ZRT labs)

Although the current normal range is between 20 and 50ng/ml, this is much too low for optimal health. You want your level to be between 50 and 70ng/ml.

This is the most important step you can take to prevent the flu! It may require a number of months taking 5,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily (especially during winter) under a doctor’s supervision, to optimize your blood level. Monitor your 25 hydroxy vitamin D status every three months until you are in the optimal range, then cut back to a maintenance dose of at least 2,000 IU a day.

2. Get adequate sleep. This is an indispensable requirement for a strong immune system.

3. Get adequate exercise. This keeps you robust.

4. Take actions to lower your stress levels.

Do breathing exercises, meditate, practice yoga, spend time doing something that makes you happy. Feeling spent, overwhelmed and or mentally run down has a causal relationship to your physical health.

Showing gratitude for food

2009-09-01T04:48:00.002-05:00

One of my favorite ways of showing gratitude for my food is to eliminate all distractions before eating and to remain fully present with every bite to the end. I love to breathe and savor every sensation that goes through my body as I eat vivacious raw food. Sometimes I like to contemplate what nutrients each of the foods in the meal contains and what parts of my body those foods/nutrients serve most directly. -

Can a world-class athlete get enough protein from a vegetarian diet to compete? I’ve found that a person does not need protein from meat to be a successful athlete. In fact, my best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet. Moreover, by continuing to eat a vegan diet, my weight is under control, I like the way I look. (I know that sounds vain, but all of us want to like the way we look.) I enjoy eating more, and I feel great. Here’s my story.

Calm your emotions

2009-07-14T17:46:00.002-05:00

Photo from: Photobucket

We can easily make good decisions when we quiet our minds and calm our emotions. While it is natural to worry, anxiety rarely helps us figure out what we need to do next. Instead of letting our emotions unsettle us, we can learn to release our worrisome thoughts and focus on remaining calm and centered. We can then think more logically and make wiser decisions because we have empowered ourselves. With practice, we can overcome the tendency to worry obsessively.

By making an effort to calm your emotions today, you can develop the focus and confidence to make solid decisions and overcome any challenge.

If you can take a few moments to quiet your mind today, you will rediscover your calm center and be better able to cope. Close your eyes, take some slow, deep breaths, and affirm that you are calm. You might also want to repeat some empowering affirmations that can help you feel emotionally stronger. This process could be especially helpful before making important decisions.

The wisdom of elders

2009-06-23T04:52:00.001-05:00

The Elderly Population

In tribal cultures, the elderly play an important role. They are the keepers of the tribe’s memories and the holders of wisdom. As such, the elderly are honored and respected members of tribes. In many modern cultures, however, this is often not the case. Many elderly people say that they feel ignored, left out, and disrespected. This is a sad commentary on modernization, but it doesn’t have to be this way. We can change this situation by taking the time to examine our attitudes about the elderly and taking action.

Modern societies tend to be obsessed with the ideas of newness, youth, and progress. Scientific studies tell us how to do everything – from the way we should raise our kids to what we need to eat for breakfast. As a result, the wisdom that is passed down from older generations is often disregarded. Of course, grandparents and retired persons have more than information to offer the world. Their maturity and experience allows for a larger perspective of life, and we can learn a lot from talking to elderly people. It’s a shame that society doesn’t do more to allow our older population to continue to feel productive for the rest of their lives, but you can help to make change. Perhaps you could help facilitate a mentorship program that would allow children to be tutored by the elderly in retirement homes. The elderly make wonderful storytellers, and creating programs where they could share their real life experiences with others is another way to educate and inspire other genera! tions.

Take stock of your relationships with the elderly population. Maybe you don’t really listen to them because you hold the belief that their time has passed and they are too old to understand what you are going through. You may even realize that you don’t have any relationships with older people. Try to understand why and how our cultural perception of the elderly influences the way you perceive them. Look around you and reach out to someone who is elderly – even if you are just saying hello and making small talk. Resolve to be more aware of the elderly. They are our mentors, wise folk, and the pioneers that came before us and paved the way for our future.

If we would only listen!

Dad - you are everything to me....

2009-06-15T06:22:00.008-05:00

"Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad." -
Author Unknown

You've been everything to me: a father,
Teacher, playmate, model, conscience, friend.
Sometimes I'm not certain why you bother,
If your feelings on my words depend.
I know I haven't been the child I should:
Far from it, and I really can't say why.
I know exactly what I'd label good,
But in the real world something goes awry.
Underneath my actions there is love,
Gratitude, respect, and admiration.
Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking of,
But I thank God you're in for the duration.
I'm sorry, sorry for the things I do,
But please believe I cherish Mom and you.

(Father's Day poetry by Nicolas Gordon)

Father's Day is 21 June in USA.

Give Dad exactly what he wants for Father's Day. Gift card is the best gift.

Don't let Father's Day pass by without
letting him know how special he is to you.

A Spiritual Nature

Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are. - Osho

There are those who would tell us
We will never fight enough wars to bring peace.
We will never feed enough hungry to end starvation.
We will never build enough living spaces to house the homeless.
We will never be outraged enough to end all atrocities.
We will never build enough jails to end crime.
And we will never make the earth green
enough to end global warming.

Maybe it's time to choose another way.

We can choose blessing:

Beauty of Friendship

2008-12-09T04:43:00.005-06:00

Beauty of Our Friendship

Friendship is a Priceless Gift
that cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
than a mountain made of Gold.
For gold is cold and lifeless,
it can neither see nor hear
And in the time of trouble
it is powerless to cheer--
it has no ears to listen
Nor heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask
God for a gift
be thankful if HE sends
not diamonds, pearls or riches
But The Love of Real True Friends.

Life Is So Good

The healing presence of God

2008-10-21T06:49:00.006-05:00

Photo by Phönix 64 .... thoughts...

I know with every fiber of my being that the healing presence of God is flowing throughout my entire being, soothing my emotions and healing my body.
I am whole and well, for I am one with the healing presence of God.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets; So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it...if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised that it would be worth it.

I AM MY BROTHER's KEEPER

2008-08-30T08:55:00.007-05:00

"I Am My Borther's Keeper" - it is Mel Avila's great idea and I'd like to participate.

Thank you Mel ! I Am My Brother's Keeper!

Cain committed the world's first murder by killing his brother Abel. When God confronted Cain about his brother's whereabout, he gave this classic remark, "Why, am I my brothers's keeper?" Throughout all the ages, man carried this same cavalier attitude towards his fellowmen. He always turned a blind eye on the sufferings of others and we could almost surmise that in his mind, he always carry the same answer that Cain gave to God- "Why, am I my brother's keeper?"

Now, is the time to reverse this decadent attitude of man towards his fellowmen.
Instead, let us show our concern and care for the least of our brethren by declaring these words:

Yes, I am my brother's keeper.
His pain is my pain.
His joy is my joy.
His sorrow is my sorrow.
His happiness is my happiness.
His hunger is my hunger.
His deprivation is my deprivation.
His ignorance is my ignorance.
His poverty is my poverty.
His sickness is my sickness.
His struggles are my struggles.
His loneliness is my loneliness.
His isolation is my isolation.
His imprisonment is my imprisonment.
His tortures are my tortures.
His agonies are my agonies.
His search for truth is my search for truth.
His cry for freedom is my cry for freedom.
His quest for salvation is my quest for salvation.

I cannot just sit here and mind my own business oblivious to what's happening to my brother. I cannot keep a blind eye to his cry for deliverance. I will make a commitment right here and now that henceforth, I will be my brother's keeper and I will do everything in my power to help him in every way I can. So help me God.
Signed this day and attested by me.

Be the one that the world is looking for...

Original Faith - Whether you're an atheist or a believer, this book may change your life.

"Be the one that the world is looking for" - Mahatma Gandhi.

Last week I received Paul's book "Original Faith" from Amazon.com.
/ I like Amazon/.
I waited for this book for a long time and I was sure that it will be a great book for me. But I can tell you that this book is much more than I expected.

"The first step in learning any language is listening. Than comes speaking" - Paul Martin

From first words I knew that this book was for me. I love your book Paul! I am truly thankful! Your book becomes my second Bible, my Daily Bread for my soul.

Paul is a wonderful man, with great wisdom that he shares in such a gentle way in his "Original Faith". I have learned from his book more and I still have much that he can show me.
What Paul said about love:
"In love, our perception of the worth-in-being of others is so emphatic and assured that when we become conscious enough of it, we find ourself demanded to conform to love's perceptions more powerfully than we are demanded to conform even to far most blatant realities and truths. We will dedicate ourself to our families and friends even in times of great trouble. We will risk death or torture for the lives of others"...

Paul, you are truly an inspiration to many of us. Keep shining your brilliant job!
May your days keep getting better and your health stay strong!

Bad Days

2008-04-10T11:20:00.022-05:00

Daily Om
We all have days when it feels like the world is against us or that the chaos we are experiencing will never end. One negative circumstance seems to lead to another. You may wonder, on a bad day, whether anything in your life will ever go right again. But a bad day, like any other day, can be a gift. Having a bad day can show you that it is time to slow down, change course, or lighten up. A bad day can help you glean wisdom you might otherwise have overlooked or discounted. Bad days can certainly cause you to experience uncomfortable feelings you would prefer to avoid, yet a bad day may also give you a potent means to learn about yourself.

You may consider a bad day to be one where you have missed an important meeting because your car stalled or the dryer broke or you received a piece of very bad news earlier in the morning. Multiple misfortunes that take place, one after the other, can leave us feeling vulnerable and intensely cognizant of our fragility. Although bad days can only have a long-term negative effect on us if we let them. It is better to ask yourself what you can learn from these kinds of days. The state of your bad day may be an indicator that you need to stay in and hibernate or let go of your growing negativity.

Bad days contribute to the people we become. Though we may feel discouraged and distressed on our bad days, a bad day can teach us patience and perseverance. It is important to remember that your attitude drives your destiny and that one negative experience does not have to be the beginning of an ongoing stroke of bad luck. A bad day is memorable because it is one day among many good days. Otherwise, we would not even bother to acknowledge it as a bad day. Know, too, that everybody has bad days. You are not alone, the world is not against you. Tomorrow is a brand new day, greet it with love and watch it unfold into perhaps, a better day.

"About She" by Jeevan

2008-03-11T07:21:00.009-06:00

About she
Tuesday, March 11, 2008

she is so cute
just to fall in love at first sight,
caress with hair come by way
to stop and adore while she play

smaller eyelid, hairs to fall along views
looking at eyes to think display dolls,
but fair to move here and there
behave like a childish in manner
and oh she exist hither most

merrily going around and last I find her
to touch gently, she fluctuate in hesitate
might sweetly whispers in the silence
noticing our face a desire on her

dab in tenderness to fondling often
quietly attentive to buss moisture
extremely catwalks as she moves behind
in slender soft crus

look after, the time passes inexpensive
seems she always in playful mode
hops to remain, sweetness to fill within
rooms disturbed with fluid across, and
this little innocent bitch lack for bites.

Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

He is known as the patron saint of animals, birds, and the environment, and it is customary for Catholic churches to hold ceremonies honoring animals around his feast day of October 4.

Pray for Others

2008-03-05T05:58:00.014-06:00

The thoughtful inspiration of the Daily Word message is here: Dayily Word

God’s spirit of life and renewal is active within my loved ones now.
I picture those I am praying for being blessed by each one of my life-affirming thoughts and prayers.
“Dear God, I give thanks that Your spirit of life and renewal is active within my loved ones now. Whatever the circumstances or conditions may be, I know that healing is taking place within each person. I am partnering with You and with them in affirming their health and vitality.
“I will continue to pray as I move through this day. Each thought of my loved ones is a prayer of faith, and each prayer is an AFFIRMATION of their total well-being.
“Having prayed for the well-being of others, I am refreshed. The thoughts I think and prayers I say for others are returning to bless me. Thank You, God.”
“And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends; and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.”—Job 42:10

Prayer Request

2007-12-25T20:19:00.003-06:00

Please, those of you that have faith, remember Kevinek in your prayers!
Kevinek sining...

Kevinek as more my friends know is seriously sick. It is leukemia.
After 5 months of chemotherapy treatment his parents decided to break off chemotreatment. It was a very hard decision. Nobody knows what to do.
I think that they did the best.
This week's post I dedicate to
PRAYER for Kevinek

Please, pray, send positive thoughts and energy.
He really needs your prayers!

When Food is your best friend.

Do you know what type of food does an emotional eater crave?

-Protein ?
-Fat ?
-Carbohydrate ?

Whatch this very short, but interesting video and try to answer:

Daily Video - Emotional eating
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In times of stress, Lenore turned to food as her best friend. She wasn't alone - experts estimate that up to 75% of overeating is tied to emotional needs.

THE MAGNIFICENT SMOOTHIE with FLOWERS.

2007-10-05T20:56:00.000-05:00

You need Personal Blender
____________

I have something magnificent to share with you for the weekend. It is easy to make (I don't like to spend much time in kitchen).

This is a recipe I tried out from the fantastic woman

Kristen's Raw

With her permission :
_______________
Dazzling Daylight Flower Smoothe from Kristen
Organic edible flowers are not just for salads and garnish. I love using them in smoothies, too! Did you know that organic edible flowers are rich in nectar and pollen (studies have shown pollen to be nutritious with minerals and vitamins). Roses, especially rose hips, are very high in vitamin C. Dandelion blossoms (and yellow flowers, in general) have plenty of vitamin A, while the leaves are loaded with iron, calcium, phosophorous and vitamins A and C. Marigolds and Nasturtium have vitamin C.
I made a magnificent smoothie from fresh organic peaches and edible flowers. You definitely want to try this.

Yield 3 cups

2 large white peaches, pitted
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup organic edible flowers

Blend the peaches and lemon juice until smooth. Add the flowers and pulse briefly. You want to have gorgeous flecks of colors showing. Enjoy served in a sassy wine glass or goblet.

Bodybuilding & Weightlifting on the Raw Food Diet?

2007-10-02T18:53:00.012-05:00

Today's post is my favorite. But who believes me that Raw Food is the first step to attain long and healthy life?
"What we consume and what consumes us".
Raw Food Diet is the first step to reverse the diseases even cancer.
( I am an example)

I invite you to Charlie's site. (look UPDATE -down)

Charlie's photos are here: http://www.therawdiet.com/meetcharlie.html

Bodybuilding & Weightlifting on the Raw Food Diet?

"That's the question I'm so often asked, "Can you actually lift weights and build muscle on a Raw Food Diet?" The whole question is asked in a state of disbelief, especially the words Raw Food Diet, which bring to mind images of people looking like concentration camp victims, with protruding ribs, trying to live on lettuce and celery, and oh so woefully deficient in that magic ingredient: PROTEIN.
But when I tell people that I'm a bodybuilder; I'm 49 years old; I just won 3rd place in an actual bodybuilding contest; and my diet consists of of fruits, vegetables, and only 1/2 cup or less of nuts per day (considered a protein food); well, they really don't know what to say. And then I go on, "OK, so if you're eating all this protein - meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk, and I'm not, in fact, according to you I'm not getting any protein," then, rolling up my arm and showing my baseball size biceps muscle, "then how did I grow these muscles, in fact, let's see your biceps muscles!" To which I've yet to receive much of an intelligent response, and certainly not a response that has any facts or research behind it.
I really can't blame anyone for their interest in protein. I grew up on the Standard American Diet myself. As a bodybuilder in my teens and 20's, I read the bodybuilding magazines and I too, was convinced enough to spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on protein supplements along with eating all the protein foods: meat, dairy, eggs, etc. But then my life changed, and I started to learn differently.
In 1999 I opened a personal training studio, and my life's work was to show people how to reap the benefits that a strength training program could offer. I sought to deliver to people the most effective methods I could find in both training and nutrition. We'll talk about training methods later, but right now the focus is on nutrition.
As I sought the best nutritional information, I read book after book, fascinated by what I was learning. I was definitely in the correct occupation because I loved what I was doing, eagerly devouring new information. What I found was that a plant based diet, and specifically a raw plant based diet, was incredibly healthy for humans. I read stories of many people who were even reversing serious "incurable" diseases by adopting such a diet. I even made my own glaucoma go away at age 40 by changing my diet and not using medications. (I'll go into more detail on diet later).
The reason this is important, especially for the strength trainee, is what I heard from listening to the contestants at the last bodybuilding contest I entered in May of 2005, which was the first contest I had entered since 1982.
You see, these bodybuilders are under the impression that what they're doing, their sport, is healthy for them, and it is. But, they never consider the fact that their habit of consuming large amounts of protein, especially animal protein, is hard on their bodies. They just accept it without question.
Bodybuilding started out as a health promoting sport, designed to improve your health and well being by virtue of the fact that the inner health and vitality from healthful living manifested itself in the outward strength, vitality, and large muscles. But then the sport was ruined by not only steroids, but multitudes of other drugs. So I was careful to enter a bodybuilding contest that offered strict drug screening via urinalysis.
So backstage at this contest, I spoke to contestants about things like: "did you hear what happened to such and such famous bodybuilders? He had a triple bypass surgery . . . both brothers died in their fifties. . . he had kidney failure." These were the things that we only heard about through the grapevine, but what about first hand knowledge?
Well, I personally know of a weight lifter in his sixties that had both hips replaced. I actually saw one famous bodybuilder who was featured in the documentary Pumping Iron, who is getting around on crutches these days. And one of the contestants I spoke to at this last contest I entered told me that his doctor told him not to do squats anymore, because all that weight pushing down on his spine will cause degenerative disc disease. Then he told me that "even people who don't workout get degenerative disc disease." And when he told me that, I realized what I said earlier, that bodybuilders think that what they're doing is healthful, but they never even consider the possibility that excess protein is slowly degenerating their bodies.
So when I read about the plant based diet, I thought, you know, it sounds good, it makes a lot of sense, but I just need meat for adequate protein - I'll think about it.
And I did think about it, for two months or so. And then I thought to myself, "Ok, I'll try it. I'll experiment on myself. I'll try a vegan diet and see what happens." And so I did for two years, and then I progressed to a raw vegan diet for the next 3 years. So far, it's been working out great - I'm strong, muscular, healthy, and happy - what more could a man want?
And so, through this website I have the opportunity to pass on to you what I found out. Enjoy your visit, and please, e-mail me with any questions or comments. Also, let me know if I have explained things clearly and if it would help if I wrote a more in-depth training manual or perhaps made a video/dvd of a training session so you can see proper form and intensity.
This information on this website on training and nutrition applies equally to women, although obviously they will not have to eat the quantity of food that I do, and even some men will eat more or less depending upon their size.
So are you going to become a famous bodybuilder after reading this site? Most likely not, but with high intensity training and a healthy diet, you will become as muscular as your body will allow, and build your health at the same time, and not risk your health at the expense of building large muscles. My ideal is to build my muscles as large as they can be, as strong as they can be, and at the same time build my health and live as long as I can, and with the raw diet I no longer worry about developing the disease from a Standard American Diet - I live worry free.

DIVINE ORDER - meditation

2007-09-25T04:33:00.000-05:00

Photo: Poland

Divine order is unfolding in my life right now.
Some trees begin to grow with a spindly, lopsided appearance. Yet a wise gardener knows that in time, those scraggly branches will become full, feathery fronds of graceful and intricate symmetry.
Nature offers countless examples of the natural unfolding of life patterns. This is often the case in my life, as well. There are times when there may be action required of me. However, often the answer to my prayer comes as I step back and allow the perfect unfolding of divine order to take place.
I discern when I am to take action and when I am to just allow more time for a plan to unfold. I recognize and give thanks for that which is complete and for the result that I know is on its way.
“The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.”—Proverbs 19:21

Do you need inspiration?
I found it in
Daily Word:
http://www.dailyword.com/

I don't want to be a bonsai tree. A bonsai tree is an imitation of a real tree.
It looks like a real tree, exept it can't do many things a real tree can.
It is kept in a small pot with limited nutrients, trimmed constantly to fit someone else's whin.
It cannot provide shelter, it cannot find food on its own; its life and death are totally reliant on its owner.

From Kevinek to Nasra

When all defeats falls on you

Strong river that lost its kindness reach

You put a good smile on your face

You whisper a prayer under your breath....

That standing storng is all you got to do ...

So you put a good smile on

WALKING BAREFOOT ON DEW

2007-08-08T18:42:00.000-05:00

Barefoot walk on dew- it is a perfect method for refreshing, reinvigorating and strengthening human body.
One morning, go to a place with clean grass (no splinters, thistles, etc.), take off your shoes and walk barefoot into the dew, for a few minutes. Without wiping off your feet, put on your shoes and take a few more steps or a short walk, to make your blood work well. In the beginning, the walk should last for only 2-3 minutes, but as time goes by, any walk should last longer - not more than 15 minutes, or else we risk to get cold.
The perfect moment to do that, is at dawn.
( I love that ).
It is a perfect remedy for strengthening your body; it becomes more resisting to cold, infections of the kidneys, genitals or bladder disease. It is helpful to clear out emotions and negative thoughts and improve mind peace and produces energy.
It is perfect in case of: chronic urinary and kidney disturbance (nephritis, cistitis, and arthritis), blood circulation through feet, infectious dermatitis, diseases caused by sedentary life, proclivity for bronchitis or lung disease, asthenia, fatness, psychical stress and tiredness, neurosis, etc.

Walking barefoot on dew has a special healing power. Internal organs can be influenced by an automatic reflex from the skin.

I like walking barefoot on the small pebbles.

DISCOVER THE POWER OF YOUR HEALING HANDS

2007-07-15T08:58:00.000-05:00

My first step to well-being was changing my eating habits: http://artickle.blogspot.com/

and foot massage by myself.
In today’s post I would like to write a little about Reflexology. Reflexology is a simple way to stay fit. It has a beautiful Healing Power. And you can do it by yourself. I do it every day and it doesn’t take me too much time, saves money and time. You can do it too.

Satisfaction and good health will be your benefits very soon.

The benefits are:
increased circulation and oxygenation,
a balanced nervous system,
stronger muscles,
and increased flexibility to prevent injuries .

Prevention, not cure, is the key!

Take care of your foot and you can dance all night.

Here you can:

THE WORD IS OUR POWER

2007-07-07T06:45:00.000-05:00

http://www.philipshapiro.com/speaking.html
We are in charge of our words.
King Salomon said:

“Thoughtless words cut like a sword. But the tongue of wise people brings healing”

“Truthful words last forever. But lies last for only a moment”-

(Proverbs 12: 18-19);

“The right word at the right time is like golden apples in silver jewelry” – (Proverbs 25:11)

Perhaps you have thoughts of beautiful, intelligent and dynamic – or maybe stupid, fat, or boring.

The word is our power.

http://www.talktoyourself.com/

We are beings with a power to create. What are you creating?
Human Beings are capable of overcoming and accomplishing amazing things. Next time you are admiring a full moon on a hot summer night, consider how it is that a flesh and blood human being like you and me has walked on that very same moon.
Do you like this life that you are creating?
Try talking to yourself like your best friend would. Your best friend would love you and accept you regardless of the size of your bank account, your thighs or your home.
"I am wonderful, funny and talented. "
What are you?
You decide how you are going to talk to yourself today. You decide if you are going to be rude or unappreciative of yourself, or gracious and generous. And the most wonderful thing of all is that every moment is a new moment to use your words differently. They are your words – and you get to use them however you want!
So here’s the affirmation for when you wake up tomorrow morning:
“Today I am AMAZING!”
And… expect magical results!

I am glad that I started to write with English words even though English is difficult for me. It is my new, second language and it became my lovely language. I think it is fun and educational to work with words. We speak with words, read with words and think with words – pray with words and sometimes even curse with words.

My today’s post I'd like to dedicate a great, young man Azer Mantessa. He not only collected his words together in interesting posts, but he also arranged them with music.
And there is my next shock: He arranged one of his beautiful art pattern with amazing music and named this art with my name : Krystyna.
Isn’t it a wonderful shock? You can listen this song here: Krystyna by Azer Mantessa.
Isn’t he a great gentleman?
Thank You Azer!!!
There is what he said about himself: “I’m not a perfectionist so I don’t look for any kind of perfection. As composing a song is self-fulfillment, as long as I myself like it, that what matters. “
I’m sure you enjoy his arts.

Music is a Power.

Music is as a wind, as a wave of ocean.

“Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul” - Dawn

" Choose to pray...rather than curse" from Carlota
http://kharlota.blogspot.com/

In the beginning was the word… I love the fact that Genesis, in its account of the creation of the universe, starts with, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God." And if that is true, that everything began with the word, what does that mean to you? Because although we know that words are powerful, do we know how powerful they really are? Words spoken in anger or upset can literally tear a relationship apart because once a word is out - it can never be retracted. And once it has been heard, it will rattle around inside a person’s head forever. You may even remember a few negative words that a parent or teacher said to you that are still going round in your mind making you feel as bad as you did when you first heard them all those years ago.
I love the way some words move together on the posts and comments section. Are they powerful too?
Words are powerful however we use them. They can be powerful in making us sad, angry and depressed, or they can be powerful in making us happy, upbeat and full of joy.
You always encourage me with your wonderful words. And I want to thank you so much for your understanding and support.
During my first year of blogging I received many great words in comments and in emails. I have two comments that are neither supportive nor nice, neither good critical nor creative.
There you are:
1. What a stupid post . ( post about vegetarian food)
2. Hitler was vegetarian too. (post about vegetarian too)
I think that is not much during one year.
And thanks for these two too if authors feel better.

In this my first post with new template I’d like to thank you for some sweet, great, wonderful words I received from All of you.
Biiig Thanks!!!!

Today’s post I’d like to dedicate to one of my great friend - Carlota . She is not only smart, beautiful friend, but I think, she is the "clairvoyant." Why is my surmise? I thought about changing my template the last few months. But I thought..thought.. and though.. and nothing …
One day when I got up and open my email - I was in shock. BIiiiG SHOCK!
Carlota sant me this beautiful template and unpretentiously asked me:
do you want this template? I made it for you. It is a gift for you.

Isn’t she pretty clairvoyant?
Thank You very much, Carlota!!!
http://kharlota.blogspot.com/

Next time I will be writing about power of words and my other shocks.
Enjoy these beautiful days, and remember to choose your words with loving care!

This is a prayer...for...

2007-06-10T22:25:00.000-05:00

This is a prayer for those who are computer or blogging addict like me.
I found this at
Fridays's wonderful blog and I want to share it with all of you.

The Lord is my Programmer.
I shall not crash.
HE installed HIS software on the hard disk of my heart.
All of HIS commands are user friendly.
HIS directory guides me to the right choices for HIS name's sake.
Even though I scroll through the problems of life,
I will fear no bugs for HE is my backup.
HIS password protects me.
HE prepares a menu before me in the presence of my enemies.
HIS help is only a keystroke away.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
And my file will be merged with HIS and saved forever.
AMEN.

As you know I have a busy time now so I started my new template only with this funny prayer.
My next post will be about …oh..(this is a secret) you will see… very soon

A Perfect World - is it possible?

The world with volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, … wars, terrorism, violence, …,….
What can we do to support the change?
I believe we will change as we detach ourselves from old preconception.

I invite you to hold the vision of the Perfect World:
one in which there is
Peace, Harmony and Love.

What vision can I hold of a world in peace and harmony if I am in constant rejection of the possibility of giving or receiving love?
Look within for your inner perfection and let yourself feel transformed by the vision of the perfect world that your perfect mind holds.
Perhaps, sooner than we can expect to, this inner vision of a perfect world can be part of our outside world as well.

COMPUTER and EYES

2007-05-20T16:45:00.001-05:00

How Can I Protect My Eyes from the Computer?

Computer -related eye strain is a common workplace complaint, as many employees spend full shifts in front of a computer without a break. In addition to causing eye strain which can lead to squinting, dry eyes, and general discomfort, prolonged periods in front of a computer can lead to other physical stresses as well, if the environment is not ergonomically arranged. Always set up your workspace to protect your eyes, along with the rest of the body, because it will keep you healthier and more productive.
There are a number of steps you can take to to protect your eyes so that you will not feel strained and tired when you arrive home from work.
To begin with, make sure that your workspace is arranged in a way that will protect your eyes. The ambient light level should be low and diffused, with no glare. Keep windows to the side of you, rather than directly ahead or behind, to minimize glare. Also adjust the brightness of your computer screen to protect your eyes; your screen's lighting should match the general light level in the room, without being too bright or too dim. Try bringing up a blank word processing document and looking at the screen. If the white of the page is glowing, your screen is too bright. If it is dingy, the screen is not bright enough. Also set up your desk so that your screen is approximately 20-26 inches (50-66 centimeters) away from you, and slightly below eye level. If you work with paper documents, protect your eyes by keeping them at the same level as your computer screen, so that your eyes do not have to constantly readjust.
During your working day, protect your eyes by looking away from the screen to a distant point approximately every 10 minutes. Every half hour, take a full break, stepping away from the computer to walk and stretch. This will protect your eyes and your body, preventing you from slumping into poor posture which may lead to back pain and repetitive stress injury. Make sure to blink frequently, and use artificial tears or eye drops if your eyes start to feel dry. If the screen is hard to read, try resizing the text or changing the resolution to make it easier to read.
You should also protect your eyes by getting an annual eye exam if you work with computers. During the exam, an optometrist can check on the health of your eyes and talk with you about ways to protect your eyes at work. You may, for example, need a special glasses prescription for computer work. An annual eye exam will also catch any serious problems with your optical health early.

How can I protect my eyes from the computer

This sweet, beautiful baby
Prachi (11 mths) is suffering from Brain Disease - a rare disease called Leigh's Disease.
We have showed her to a Neuro Surgeon in Bangalore. Consulted with so many other doctors and this they have to say "She will not live for more than 6 mths or Max 1 yr”. We are doing everything here, but still there is no progress. Please help me!! There is no cure for this disease. We have showed her to many doctors, but everybody gives the same answer.

Meditation about healing

Every cell in Prachi's body is one with God's mighty, healing presence.
The presence of God is the one power in her life, a healing presence that gives her energy and strength and a renewed sense of her oneness with the Creator.
She needs to be healed....
I take a moment to become still and feel God's healing power..with Prachi.... ...
The life of God is a real presence in every cell of her body, a presence that restores health and sparks renewal wherever it is needed... ...
In perfect order, the life of God works from the inside out, healing every cell, organ, and system of her body. In the silence, she can feel her oneness with God's healing presence as she is being renewed.
Every cell in her body radiates with the energy and life of God that is working in and through her.... ...
One with God's mighty presence, she is healed. She is whole, well, and renewed.

A CHEERFUL ATTITUDE IS LIKE GOOD MEDICINE

2007-05-14T04:42:00.000-05:00

And today I am really very happy - (from my friend Jola))

A GRATEFUL SPIRIT

The condition of the mind greatly influences our physical health.

Research has shown that the brain and immune system communicate with each other. This could explain why
a grateful spirit and a positive mental attitude helps the body fight off disease and recover more quickly from illness.

Happiness is like perfume, you can't pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself (from my friend Pankaj)

In a study conducted in Minnesota, the positive emotions of joy and contentment were strongly correlated with longevity in nuns.
People with anxieties and chronic stress in their lives often experience recurring headaches, back-aches, allergy outbreaks, or other ailments which resolve when the anxiety or stress is eliminated.
Mental illness is often associated with poor physical health.
Solomon tells us that
a cheerful attitude is like good medicine (Proverbs 17:22).

Health is strongly enhanced by cultivating a spirit of gratitude and praise.

GOD of ALL MOTHERS, THANK YOU for my MOM !

2007-05-10T11:37:00.000-05:00

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom?
"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said,
"And you never will, but that's O.K.".......

Later the little boy asked his father,
"Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?".
"All women cry for no reason," was all his Dad could say......

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him, he asked
"God, why do women cry so easily?"
GOD answered......
"When I made woman, I decided she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet, made her arms gentle enough to give comfort...

I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come even from her own children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue without complaining....

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly....

She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears....

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart....

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly....

For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and ! it is her only weakness....

When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good.

She is special! Please send this to women you know, and those with mothers, sisters, and special women in their lives.
But, also send this to men so they will understand about what a wonderful thing a woman is. Each day is a mountain that must be climbed; with courage each step gets easier.

Love your Mother Always
and keep her Smiling

The Seeds of Change

2007-05-02T02:22:00.001-05:00

The thoughts that you have in your mind are similar to the seeds a farmer plants in his field.
Consider the fertile soil of a farmer’s field. The farmer decides what crop he wants to grow and then he plants the appropriate seeds. The ground in which he plants the seeds has no choice but to produce the very crop that the farmer has planted…be it corn, wheat, barley, or weeds. The ground doesn’t debate, challenge or try to change the seed. Its only role is to embrace the seed, nurture its growth and produce the crop. The same can be said about the thoughts you plant in your mind.
You, like the farmer, are a planter of seeds. Your seeds, however, are of a psychological nature. In your case, these are the seeds of thought and behavior. While the farmer plants his seeds in the ground, you plant in your seeds in your mind. And just as the type of seed the farmer plants in the earth determines what he produces in his field, the kinds of thoughts that you plant in your mind determine what you produce in your life.
If you plant seeds of negativism, self-doubt and apprehension, you produce a life full of fear, frustration and helplessness. On the other hand, if you plant seeds that are positive, hopeful and strong, you produce a much healthier, happier and successful life. You can’t continue to plant seeds of doubt and failure in your mind and expect to produce the successful life you dream of.
Think about that as you wander through your day today!

What kind of seeds are you planting?

THE HEALING WATER structured water

2007-04-10T14:39:00.000-05:00

The healing water.
Everybody wants to look young and live as long as possible. In order to achieve that, we follow different "miraculous" recipes and diets, buy expensive cosmetics, etc., but this is only a way to resist the symptoms of our aging.
The real cause of the process is inside our body. One of the most important factors in our aging is
THE WATER we drink and use to prepare our meals.
The cells in our body (including blood) consist of 70% water; our brain is 90% water. The condition of our joints and blood vessels, the presence of liver and kidney stones, and the complexion of our skin depend on the QUALITY of water we drink.
There are 130 kinds of water in nature.
Water in our body’s cells is under a special STRUCTURED form. All other fluids that we consume must be purified and transformed into this specifically structured form. The process uses a significant amount of energy.
We must remember that our health depends on the amount of energy our body uses to service itself. The more energy is used for unnecessary water processing the less is left for repairing our cells and fighting diseases.

What kind of water is, then, good for us to drink?

I prefer STRUCTURED WATER.

PURPOSE OF MONODIETING

2007-03-27T04:02:00.000-06:00

The purpose of monodieting is twofold.
The first purpose is to use as little energy as possible on digestion so that energy can be freed and directed toward the cleansing and rejuvenation of the lymph system.
The second purpose of monodieting is to obtain the maximum amount of fuel and nutrients from the food being eaten.
Raw food fulfills these two purposes of monodieting better than cooked or processed food. http://unblock22.blogspot.com/2006/09/ten-advantages-of-eating-raw-human.html Raw food demands less energy to digest and provides the most nutrients because it is in its purest state, its nature state. ANY cooking of food removes or denatures some nutrients .Bear in mind that human beings are the only species that eats cooked food, and humans lead all species in degenerative diseases.
What is periodic monodieting?
Periodic monodieting is the eating of fresh fruits and/or vegetables and their juices, uncooked, for a length of time that ranges from one day to several weeks.
Three examples of possible monodiets:

1.Drinking only fresh fruit and vegetable juice for 1 to 3 days.
2. Drinking only fresh fruit and vegetable juices and eating whole fruits and vegetables for 3 to 5 days.
3. Drinking only fresh fruit and vegetable juices and eating only fresh fruits and vegetables and salads for 1 day to a week to 10 days.

The following three monodiets are examples only, not dictums. Follow them precisely or modify them to your likes and dislikes. The only hard-and-fast rule is: NOTHING COOKED.
In other words, periodic monodieting is the taking of any combination of any raw, fresh food or juice for whatever length of time you wish.
When you are monodieting, you are allowing your body to be cleansed. You are cleaning and rejuvenating your lymph system.
You are preventing disease.

Spring is perfect to start cleaning the body.

EXERCISE and THE LYMPH SYSTEM FUNCTION

2007-03-19T12:06:00.001-06:00

Get my banner code or create your own banner

Before you pass up this post with something like, "Yeah, yeah, I should exercise. I know. I’ll read this later", just read a little of it now, please. Later has a funny way of turning into never.
The relationship between a healthy life and regular exercise is irrefutable. Consider the fact, for example, that exercisers have an all-cause mortality rate that is less than one-third that of nonexercisers. Moreover, some form of regular physical activity, even if it’s a very mild form of activity, is crucial for vibrant health. Here’s why:
EXERCISE HELPS YOUR LYMPH SYSTEM FUNCTION at an optimal level.
Unlike the cardiovascular system, which has at its center the heart acting as a pomp to keep the flow of blood going, the lymph system has no such pomp. But lymph fluid must constantly be flowing throughout the body, in the same way that blood must constantly be flowing throughout the body.
Remember, there is three times more lymph fluid in your body than blood.
What is it that does for the lymph system what the heart does for the cardiovascular system?
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. EXERCISE!
The flow of lymph through the body is also helped by the muscles in the walls of lymph vessels and by respiration (breathing in and out), but the important contribution of exercise cannot be overstated.
This information should put the need for regular physical activity in a whole new light.
How often have you heard, or even said yourself, "I know I need to exercise, but… . "
Let’s face it, there are probably many reasons, physical, emotional, and psychological, why people don’t exercise. It’s not necessary to delve into all the reasons. What is important is to somehow get those people who are the most sedentary sufficiently motivated to do at least something.
If you are already doing some form of exercise, no matter how little or how much, that’s fine.
You don’t have to join a gym or take aerobics classes. Really, I’m not suggesting you become a world-class athlete. But I will tell you this, and I won’t soften what I’m about to say. Are you serious about doing what you can to live a vibrantly, healthy life free of the pain, anguish, and suffering that disease can cause?
If your answer is yeas, and you are serious, and I mean Really serious, than you must do everything you can to keep your lymph system operating at its highest possible efficiency, and some form of regular physical exercise is a major contributing factor in that effort. Period! There is no way around it.
EXERCISE is THE KEY.

What is The Immune System?

Without it, we would all be forced to live in sterile environments, never touching each other, never feeling a spring breeze, never tasting rain. The immune system is that complex operation within our bodies that keeps us healthy and disease-free.

YOGA CAN PROVIDE RELIEF FOR CHRONICALLY ILL.

Patients with chronic illnesses are finding that yoga provides some relief from their symptoms, according to a report in the New York Times. Whether it is AIDS, cancer, osteoporosis, or Crohn's disease, patients suffering from these chronic disorders find that there are specific yoga exercises that help them cope with their symptoms.While doctors may recomend yoga classes for general stress reduction, many patients are finding that yoga helps lessen their symptoms and the side effects of their medications. Often patients are in classes with others having similar conditions, so that an element of social support is also present.Although not a cure for these diseases, studies have found that yoga does have significant impact upon the experience of the maladies. It can reduce fatigue in those with multiple sclerosis, lower anxiety in patients with cancer, heart disease or hypertension, and improve sleep in patients with chronic insomnia.

FIT FOR LIFE - A NEW BEGINNING

HI, MY NAME IS HARVEY AND I’M A FOODAHOLIC.

I’m in my mid-fifties-(sixties) and I can’t recall a time when I was not a foodaholic.

The good news is, I now have control over it, it no longer controls me, for a have learned how to live a life that allow me to fully enjoy all the pleasures of eating the food I like while increasing my health and remaining trim and fit.

(from Harvey Diamond -" Fit for Life - New Beginning"

Are you foodaholic too ? I AM.

Try to learn how to eat more healthfully.

These Diamond's books are no ordinary books. They are inspiring, enjoyable.
The focus of Diamond’s books is prevention not treatment.

He said: I don’t just want to show people what to do after they’re sick; I want to show them what to do so they don’t become sick.

Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-and-son team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races. And if they’re not in a marathon they are in a triathlon — that daunting, almost superhuman, combination of 26.2 miles of running, 112 miles of bicycling, and 2.4 miles of swimming. Together they have climbed mountains, and once trekked 3,735 miles across America.
It’s a remarkable record of exertion — all the more so when you consider that Rick can't walk or talk.

Fit for Life

Fit for Life - it works for me!

Fit for Life is a diet and lifestyle promoted by Harvey Diamond and Marilyn Diamond, which stems from the principles in Natural Hygiene.
As the title of the book suggests, Fit for Life claims how to lose excess body weight and maintain good health via long term dietary and lifestyle practices, rather than short term dieting.

In the Fit for Life book series many dietary principles are recommended including eating only fruit in the morning, eating predominantly "live...high-water-content" food (as per the raw food diet), and if eating animal protein to avoid combining it with complex carbohydrates (such as bread, rice or pasta).
Tony Robbins promotes the Fit for Life principles and vegetarianism to increase energy levels in his book Unlimited Power.

I highly recommend "Fit For Life" to anyone who wants to become healthier, have more energy, and eat good food.
And it's not a diet that you should stop once you've reached your goal weight; it's a new way of eating.

You Have To Use It…To Lose It ! (click)

2007-01-17T18:40:00.001-06:00

In a nutshell, wellness is a choice!
It’s not something that just happens to the lucky few, like winning the lottery. It can’t be bought, sold, borrowed or begged into your life. If you want to live a healthy life and have the corresponding healthy body, you must do the work necessary to make that happen. Just wanting it to be doesn’t get the job done! For example, let’s say you go down to the local sporting goods store and buy some weights. Then, upon bringing them home, you immediately put them in the closet. If you don’t take them out of the closet and use them, you will get no benefit from them. If you don’t use those weights, you won’t build those muscles.

The same is true with knowledge! You know the difference between healthy and unhealthy, but in order to actually become healthier, you must use that knowledge .
The key to finding the fit body and healthy life you dream about all begins with taking action.
Whether it’s weights or knowledge, you have to use it to lose it!

VEGETARIANISM AND SPIRITUALITY - click !

2007-01-09T05:24:00.000-06:00

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."- Albert Einstein.
"If a man eats meat, he will take on the qualities of the animal he eats and once those qualities enter, the man's anger, his hastiness, and his animal qualities will increase. If he does not kill anything on the inside he will not kill anything on the outside."- Islamic Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen.
"The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of great compassion."- The Buddha in Mahaparinirvana Sutra.
"One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings."- The Buddha in Dhammapada, Ch. 19 (15/270), Max Muller, Trans.
"Whosoever is kind to the creatures of God is kind to himself."- Mohammed.
"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men."- Leonardo da Vinci.
"I do feel that spiritual progress does demand, at some stage, that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants."- Mahatma Gandhi.

Such words are not about justifying vegetarianism as a dogma but rather imploring to our hearts the deeper side of nutrition and it's importance in modern society.
The subject of nutrition is not simply a question of the food we eat at meals. Besides nutrients, foods contain scents, colours and invisible particles that attract pure light, light that is so essential for our joyful life and well-being. The choice we make is therefore always of consequential significance.
The difference between flesh-based and vegetarian foods lies in the amount of sunlight they contain. Fruits and vegetables are so steeped in sunlight, that one could say they are a condensed form of light. In order to develop the qualities of the heart, besides eating peacefully, one needs to eat consciously. This means bringing in the light, eating the concentrated light which contains the beautiful sounds that connect our hearts to the rhythms and invisible aspects of the Universe. This attracts the luminous properties of matter and illuminates your being, especially your thoughts and emotions, not just today, but throughout your experience of your existence on this material plane.
Your future depends on how you eat and what you eat. Your body is your temple and every action within the temple, done with conscious intention, creates a more harmonious outcome. Transcendence happens as you obtain better and more refined particles to replace that which hold the old and limiting particles which colour your experience of this ecstatic universe. The quality of your food, it's physical properties, not only transforms your emotions and mind, but can actually change your appearance and personality. Everything around us is is permeated by forces and those forces become more pure and subtle the further they reach the higher planes of light that exist here in the physical world.
This realm is of a spiritual nature, which transcends limitations and lives in the pureness of your most luminous and open qualities. The secret to opening the treasure-house of food, is the love and compassion attained within your consciousness. The treasure is the sun, condensed into particles, which we can send to all the centres in our bodies. This essential signpost of love reveals to you that at the deepest level, compassion becomes a healing power in the widest sense.
Everyone you come into contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the healing peace that you radiate. This breaks the cycle of action and reaction. You become light in the world, a reflection of consciousness in the most pure form, illuminating unconsiousness as it dissolves in the light of your new experience. The quality of your consciousness at this very moment determines how you will experience your future. Seek to generate enough light consciousness in order to feel the heightened aliveness so that you recognise and embrace your truth from the space of pure consciousness.
Go more deeply into the source of your experience, where theory and speculation have no voice, rather, your inner experience speaks forcefully.
I see the physical body as the "temple of the soul", hence I concentrate on using various methods of cleansing and detoxification, including herbal preparations and fasting, to strengthen and purify the body. As part of this process, I suggest one follows a healthy and balanced vegetarian diet. Such a diet would exclude meat, fish, poultry, eggs and refined foods such as white sugar, white flour, deep frozen and/or processed foods.
In this way, the focus would be rather on fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season and/or are organically produced. This is a way to connect to Nature and it's rhythms and cycles so that one may be in harmony with it. I see Nature as an omnipresent guide and a reference to how human beings can live harmoniously on the planet.
I often talk about spiritual traditions and religious teachings mentioning this very important point that has been neglected or even altered throughout time.
For those of you who have a religious inclination, it would be interesting to take note that, for example, in the Bible we can read: "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb-bearing seed which is upon the face of the Earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food." (Genesis 1:29).
It is the first dietary law for spiritual life in the Torah/Old Testament, where there is no indication for people to eat animals. It is also one of the Ten Commandments: "Thou shall not kill" (Exodus 20:13).
In Jainism, ahimsa, the doctrine of non-violence, is a central theme. Because of this the Jains have maintained a strong and unbroken vegetarian lifestyle throughout history.
"If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it." (Bhagavad Gita, 9.26).

This new year marks a fresh start for me.
I begin this new year realizing that nothing can separate me from God’s presence in this moment or at any other time. The presence of God is within me always. Working with this holy presence, I cocreate my life in fresh, new ways.
In contemplative prayer, I honor my past and its lessons and I release negative feelings and attitudes based on the past. I take action this day, this year, to change habits or practices that do not serve me, knowing that God’s spirit expressing through me is greater than any habit.
I trust God within to guide me in cocreation, to inspire me with new ways of thinking, acting, and speaking. This awareness ensures that, in every needed way, the new year marks a fresh start for me.

VITAMIN C for GOOD HEALTH

2006-12-11T06:18:00.000-06:00

VITAMIN C

SOME IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT

VITAMIN C.
It is also essential for maintaining good health.
No oxidation reaction can happen without Vitamin C and we would die, defenseless against viruses that constantly attack our body. Our blood vessels would be unable to circulate blood - they would turn into a system of empty tubes.
Unfortunately Vitamin C is a very volatile substance. It disintegrates under the influence of direct sunlight or even regular daylight; cooking in temperature over 212 F (100 C) also destroys it. For example, cooking vegetable soup destroys 50% of Vitamin C, and leaving the soup on the stove for another three hours causes it to lose another 20%. If we let it stand for another six hours or warm it up again, it practically loses all its. This way, if we mainly eat cooked food and on top of that warm it up a few times, we get only minimal amounts of Vitamin C from it.
Luckily, we can fill this gap by eating fruits and vegetables, which contain a lot of Vitamin C. The benefits of eating raw fruits and vegetables have been discovered rather late. Earlier such diet wasn’t recommended - especially for the elderly - because a lot of people experience some form of digestive system disorders.

The Power of Saying

I Love You

One of the most basic psychological needs, at the core of being human, is the need love and to be loved. As a matter of fact, I would say that love is one of Mother Nature’s most powerful forces. It drives us to do all sorts of daring and ridiculous things as we seek to find that special someone and strengthen the connection we have with those significant others already in our lives. Love is a critical cog in the healthy personality wheel of life.

Showing and expressing love, however, is easy for some and nearly impossible for others. One of the things that I have always found interesting is that some people seem to have no trouble showing affection and proclaiming their love, while others seem unable to even say the words not to mention show the emotion. It is, however, very important for us to hear those words. Saying “I love you” is good for both parties but it is particularly important for those we love to hear us say it. Those who have trouble saying those words are often very loving people who, even though they don’t say it, show their love in other ways. Even though there is no doubt that they love you, there is no replacement for hearing those three precious words.

If you are one of those people who, for whatever reason, does not tell those you love that you love them,
why not make today the day you change that?
Choose someone in your life that you truly love and tell them today. There is no greater gift to give them and it will open you up in ways you can’t even imagine!
(by Dr. John H. Sklare)

I think that I am one of those others,
so I try to say with deep of my heart -
I LOVE YOU ALL MY DEAR FRIENDS !!!

**************************************

LOVE
Love sees no barrier on ahead
No matter be they tall
Love pushes on through weal or woe
She scales the highest wall
She leaps o'er mountain crests or hills
She dives in deepest sea
She crosses oceans to other lands
And sings on distant lea
You find her everywhere you roam
In huts and castles, strong
She makes a haven of happy homes
And blesses life with song!

STRENGTH TRAINING

2006-11-26T04:32:00.000-06:00

Strength Training Doesn't Hurt Older Hearts.

Older adults have no reason to avoid the weight machines at the local gym, according to a reassuring new study. Published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the study dispels concerns about the effect of regular strength training on older adults’ arteries. Researchers at Japan's University of Tsukuba studied a group of adult males over 60 years of age, placing the men on a 12-week daily strength training regimen. At the conclusion of the study period, study subjects were found to have experienced improved nitric oxide blood levels, a key marker of artery function. No evidence of disrupted artery function, or stiffening of the arteries, was found in any of the patients.

What This Means for You ?

A jog around the block or a half-hour on the elliptical machine can be a great boost for cardiovascular health. But if recent findings are any indication, adding a strength-training circuit to your workout regimen could also work wonders.

HEALTHY SPINE - HEALTHY BODY

2006-11-21T12:41:00.000-06:00

PREVENTION

Prevention is the best strategy to avoid spine problem.

We "earn" the good condition of our spine throughout our life. If we habitually neglect our spine, we can expect that, sooner or later, we will have to deal with hard to tolerate pain. Then we will find time, even a lot of time, for therapy.

Is it not better to spend some time and effort in order to prevent the problem ?

Now I suggest one set of exercises for keeping a good posture and eliminating spinal pain. They do not require much time or effort and bring excellent results.
Exercises done in bed very little strain on our heart, therefore they can be done by anybody - children, adults, or elderly people.

*****
1.When you wake up, stretch a few times.
*****
2.Laying on your back, press hard against the pillow with the back of your head for 5 seconds and then rest for 5 seconds. / repeat the exercise 6 times.
*****
3.Put the pillow on your chest and "hug" it for 5 seconds - rest for 5 seconds. / repeat 6times.
Put the pillow between your knees and squeeze it hard for 5 seconds - rest for 5 seconds / repeat 6 times.
*****
4.Pull up your knees to the 45 degree angle - hold for r seconds and rest for 5 seconds / repeat 6 times.
*****
5.Pull the toes of one leg with the toes of the other leg towards you, alternately, six times for each leg.

"When you talk, you repeat what you already know; when you listen, you often learn something."
—Jarren Sparks

For many of us, our lives are so busy that we rarely give anyone our full attention. Even if we're not focused on a computer screen or the television or that book we're reading while another talks, we're thinking about the report that's due, or wondering if we remembered to send a check to the power company.
Beginning today, make an effort to really listen when people talk to you. Put the book down, turn off the TV or turn away from the computer screen. Look directly into the speaker's eyes and fully listen, letting both your ears and your heart take in the words. In the process you may learn something and you may not. It doesn't matter.
You will make the one talking feel important and that does. Making someone else feel good always matters.

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease" - Thomas Edison

In the spring and fall seasons, the body starts cleaning itself of the excess amounts of mucus. That’s when germs show up and start dissolving and then destroying or removing the mucus, in effect helping us to clean up our body.

But what do we do then?

DON"T WORRY - JUST SMILE !

2006-11-08T14:14:00.000-06:00

My smile to ALL nice bloggers.

You don't speak English as I don't ? Don't worry, just smile!
That's what the experts on communication skills are saying.
It's easy to communicate when you travel abroad.
Smile, look at people in a friendly way and point at things and people will understand you.

Or will they?

People in different countries request things in different ways.

*The British say "please" and "thank you" more than Americans. When they buy somethings the British may say "thank you" two or three times during the conversation. The American say "thank you" once. ( I'm not sure).

*Americans always replay "you're welcome" after "thank you". The British sometimes replay "thank you", or sometimes do not reply.

*In Northern European countries (e.g. Scandinavia, The Netherlands, Poland and Germany), people request things simply and directly and their intonation sounds like an English command.

*In Southern Europe, a smile, friendly body language and eye contact are very important when you're requesting something.

*In Asia, people sometimes give a very small bow and often look away when requesting something.

( from "Handshake - a course in communication; Sunday Gazette- travel page)

But what about WRITING ?

"Though not always visible, there is within everyone and everything a divine and holy spark of goodness. Whenever we bless any person, situation, or thing in our lives, we are, in essence, recognizing that goodness, acknowledging its inherent value, and in so doing, fanning the spark into a flame. Each and every time we bless another, we don't just make a difference, we heal the world. ..... ...Blessing another person or a situation is not difficult, in fact, it is the easiest thing to do. It takes only the time necessary to think a good thought, which is little time indeed." - Kate Nowak

EVOLVE INNER BEAUTY

2006-10-18T08:21:00.000-05:00

Sometimes a simple image of Nature expresses the language of beauty in such a way that it takes us beyond words and into parts of ourselves that we didn't know were there - or that we've forgotten.
Let these images take you where they will, and allow them to move you in whatever way they can. There is nothing to do. Just look at them until you feel satisfied. (clik on image to enlarge)

No ones life is always perfect, it is just human nature. But what a difference you can make if you focus no YOUR INNER BEAUTY.

What real beauty is?

It is not physical appearance.

So what it is?

The good news is that it's never too late or too soon to
EVOLVE YOUR INNER BEAUTY!
*************************

I don't know who writed this poem:

The Me Inside the Mirror
K.C.G
Don't look for me inside the mirror
for there you will not see me.
You'll see my face but it is not me.
Don't look for me inside the mirror
for there you'll not find me.
You'll see the body but there is no me.
Don't look for me inside a mirror
for there you'll not see me.
You'll see my looks, ways and hair
But it is not me.
Look through the window of my soul
and there you'll find me
You'll see the happiness,weirdness, and hope
The love, admiration and faith.
The loneliness, anger and sorrow
When you enter and looked through the window of my soul.
That's where you'll see me, find me.
You'll find not the girl with messy hair, un-clear skin and odd ways.
You'll find it out one of this days.
You'll see me.
The real me.
