Meditation—the Best Medicine

Meditation—the Best Medicine

Meditation is, without any doubt, the best and most natural form of medicine. It has no side effects, and it is absolutely free. Therefore, why don’t you consider trying it out today?

When the word “health” is mentioned, the mind automatically starts visualizing syringes, pills, capsules, drips, nurses and the list is endless. However, it is surprising to know that all these make up for a small percentage of what health really is. Even if your body is 100% fit (quite rare, if not impossible) yet your social, mental and psychological lives are lacking, then you do not qualify to be called healthy.

Before you think of killing me because of this harsh remark, you need to know that this is what health is defined as by the world health organization.

When you get into the mode of meditation, the body gets into a rhythm. These rhythms cause the blood pressure to reduce by causing the heart and surrounding cardiac tissues to relax. Also, the muscles of the blood vessels relax along side other muscles in the body. As a result, those with high blood pressure relax as their pressure is reduced to a point where it is normal and healthy. When this happens, a series of other changes start happening in the body.

Adrenaline is released in lesser amounts, and the person becomes more relaxed and the body organs are at a lower risk than before. When more useful and healthy substances are released into the body, then immunity goes up because the right cells are being formed.

The working of meditation is very simple and to the point. What happens to you when you have abdominal pain and you spend ten minutes focusing on the pain? It seems to increase, and it ends up being severe. Meditation works in the same way only that it works to ensure that positive results are obtained. When you do meditation, you think of a specific thing, say an organ.

However, you do not think of how sick the organ or body part is. You deliberately have peaceful thoughts towards the organ. When you do this, the constricted blood vessels relax and open up, and the flow of blood to this organ or part of the body is increased. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the organ and tissues, and it also leaves with every waste and toxins in the organ or tissues. Needless to say, improvement is seen.

In fact meditation is important for our life. It not only benefits our spiritual health - in fact regular practice will make your mind much sharper too.

So, if you are having problems controlling your emotions, problems in relaxing,
(or sleeping)
or you simply want to experience oneness with yourself, you have to try meditation.
Believe me it`s amazing…)I always want the best 4 You.

Meditation is gaining popularity today because of the health benefits it gives.

I love visiting Amsterdam...

2012-01-26T10:41:00.000-08:00

I love visiting Amsterdam, Netherlands, Yes... You can realy feel the flow of freedom there ...)
it is very hard not to imagine misty cafes and scantily clothed women moving provocatively in windows with red lights.

Many of the travelers from across the world return to this ultimate city of “sin” because of these sights alone.

Most of them are busting with tales of the unexpected and if you get chances to visit the place,

I’m sure that you will also create your own tales to tell.

Well, Amsterdam is not just about sex and drugs; it has all the great things that Mother Earth has to offer.

The Netherlands has in fact that most amount of great museums per square foot than anywhere else in the world. If you take a tram ride 10 minutes from the heart of the city, you can overwhelm yourself with those narrow streets occupied with nothing else other than the cyclist and a car every now and then. The city is in fact so quite, but interesting.

Things to See in Amsterdam

The greatly planned city of Amsterdam is one of the few cities in the world where the people,
the streets and the atmosphere are an attraction in themselves.
It is in fact well-known throughout the world as the sole city where marijuana and hashish are sold legally.

And, the worldly known Red Light District is just as much an attraction as a favorite hub for young men full of testosterone to go at night. But as mentioned earlier, there is far much more to the city than drugs and prostitutes or sex.

The city has long been considered as the “Venice of the North” because it was built on a cobweb of canals.

You can greatly see most of the city from a canal boat, and from there you’ll surely appreciate the unique architecture
that Amsterdam has long been proud to offer. Furthermore, Amsterdam is heaving with a culture.

It has a lot of great museums and libraries. Of all the interesting museums in the city of Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum,
Anne Frank Museum and Van Gogh Museums are names not to be missed.

Where to Eat

When you stroll around in the city of Amsterdam,
you’ll surely find a high volume of restaurants. As commonly noted,
you can see sandwich boards in front of the many restaurants advertising their daily specials and from a minute walk down the Damrak,
the street facing Central Station, there are some neon lights saying “pizza”.

If you delver further into the city, you can find the Damstraat, the street on Dam Square,
also peppered with eateries. Further down again towards Leidseplen, the Leidsekruisstraat and Leidsetraat have their good share of restaurants too. It is necessary to note however that the streets mentioned earlier are located in some of the city’s most touristy areas. So, if you wish to steer clear of such commercial centers, you have the chance to visit; the Jordaan as some of the city’s coolest restaurants are found there.

In case you prefer to eat out in a restaurant beyond your budget during your tour,
there are also some fast food outlets all over Amsterdam where you can get pizzas, chips or kebabs. However, just be careful when asking for mayonnaise on your French fries for they will be completely drowned...)

The City of Lights is synonymous to the venerable capital of gastronomy.

Fogon St- Julien (Spanish)

A formal restaurant painted in a yellow sunny color is a source for superb Hispanic dishes and unusual wines to match. The seasonal all-tapas menu is tempting at EUR36 per person, but that would mean missing out on what must be the city's finest paella at EUR18 per person. Then finish it up with the custardy crème Catalan accompanied by a glass of muscatel.

Kastoori (Indian)
One of the restaurants in Paris that offers an equally relaxing feel on a rainy with the modest dining room draped with Hindi fabrics. They also offer a tremendous value on meals where lunch is with thali platters or silver trays bearing curried meat (chicken or lamb), vegetables or saffron rice.

This Italian city is famous worldwide for being the heart of the Renaissance period and the abode of fine arts and literature. One can find powerful symbols of Italian and European culture in every corner and crevice of Florence that makes it sometimes hard to identify the city with just one character.

From the famous David by Michelangelo, to the romantic Ponte Vecchio, to Giotto’s bell tower, Florence Italy just seems to be represented by a lot of things or famous people such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Dante Alighieri, or Michelangelo, to name a few.

There are several interesting facts about Italy travel that one should know.

2012-01-03T11:17:00.001-08:00

FACTS ABOUT ITALY TRAVEL

What else is there to know about Italy aside from when to go, what to see, and how much to spend? A lot. There are crucial facts about Italy travel. One such fact is that, star ratings outside Italy’s hotels may not mean the same thing you thought them to mean. So what exactly do they mean? A lot of things actually, but most probably not what you have in mind. The star ratings are provided by the government and in no way do they have anything to do with the ambiance or the charm of the hotel. Thus, a one-star hotel does not strictly mean it has poor service and facilities compared to the two or three star hotels. Likewise, prices can not be based on these ratings as well. Meaning, a three-star hotel can be more expensive than a four-star hotel in the same area. The best thing to do is to check out the room before you pay for it. You’ll never know, you can get better services and amenities paying less for a one-star hotel room than with a more costly three-star hotel room.

One of the most important facts about Italy travel is that tourists are required to register with the local Italian police within three days upon arrival. Visitors who are checking in at a hotel usually do not need to go to a local police station to register. Hotel staffs may ask for the guests’ passports, which are returned the following day, so they can do the registering in the guests’ behalf. However, under Italian Law, those who are staying with friends or relatives should register at any local police station in person within three days from their arrival.

Petty crimes like pick pocketing, snatching, and theft from parked cars are very common especially in bigger cities. Vital facts about Italy travel include this warning. Some of these petty crimes happen in nightclubs and bars mostly because of the fact that the age limit for those who can be sold alcoholic beverage to is lower than in most states in the United States. Tourists should be wary of the facts about Italy travel, especially regarding safety. Some of these crimes are even executed by individuals who are well-dressed. The best thing to do to avoid falling prey to these persons is to be non-complacent and extra cautious.

There are several interesting facts about Italy travel that one should know. Learning their language would certainly come in handy especially if you intend to drive within Italy. As it is, Italians get too close for comfort. While this may sound romantic on some circumstances, it definitely isn’t that flattering when you’re driving amongst them.

Travel to Italy.

2012-01-03T11:02:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year...I love travelling - so I want to share some wonderful places with you...)where I have been. Travel to Italy..

I want to tell you about some of my favorite places to travel...When is the best time to travel to Italy?

Italy is often times named as the world’s ‘living art gallery’ and one of the most romantic places to be in.

From painters to poets, to paramours, and to popes, it’ll take more than just a shake of a paintbrush to ‘paint a thousand words’ to describe the beauty of Italy and its culture.

Whether it is a baroque church overlooking a cracked antique pediment in the Forum or the ruins of Greek temples or statue-filled Renaissance fountains, this place is superbly surrounded by history. Its splendid landscapes and vague lights seem to be made for romance. Its three millennia of culture, history, and cuisine entice just about everyone.

Endless possibility of things to do, people to see, places to visit, and food to taste, this place will naturally indulge your fantasies.

From staying in tiny medieval hill towns, to gazing at Renaissance art, or skiing in the Alps, or staring at magnificent churches, exploring the canals of Venice, or just simply enjoying the pleasure of good food, good wine, and romantic scenery, Italy will definitely make a wonderful experience.

Italy’s climate is as complex as its amazing culture, varying from north to south and from lowland to mountain top. Around the country, temperatures are at sea-level with altitudes creating a steep change between summer and winter.

In the Alps, winters are long and severe and storms develop in spring and tend to last to autumn, making the summer the wettest season.

In the northern regions however, chilly winters and hot summers and an even rain distribution is what makes up the weather. Conditions become milder heading south where the hot and humid African winds affect the regions south of Rome producing at least a couple of stiflingly hot summer weeks.

When is the best time to travel to Italy? The best time to travel to Italy is during the spring, April to May, and autumn, November to October. This is the best time to travel to Italy since during these times, the scenery is beautiful and the temperatures are pleasant with relatively few crowds.

It is also during April that a lot of celebrations and spring festivals happen such as Pasqua or Easter which starts during the week before Easter and continue through Easter Monday or La Pasquetta, a day that may be filled with interesting festivals.
Food festivals such as best artichoke festivals in Ladispoli near Rome is celebrated during the second week of April or the Sagra dei Garagoj a dialect name for a local fish takes place on the last weeks of April. April is probably the best time to travel to Italy as Rome’s birthday is celebrated on April 21...(also mine...))) and you can enjoy special events and festivities including Saint George’s Day on April 23, Festival of San Marco on April 25, and the Race of the Ring held during the last week of April.

Italy is an amazing place to be and will surely make an unforgettable experience, so when you decide to visit Italy, just make sure you visit during the best time to travel to Italy and avoid August as this is the time that most Italians take their vacations and you may end up going around with mostly closed shops and businesses.
As always the best 4 you.

Is massage therapy beneficial?

2012-01-02T06:35:00.001-08:00

The Health Benefits of Massage Therapy

In an attempt to understand how and why massage therapy is as effective as it seems to be, scientists and medical researchers from around the world have been studying it for decades. Some characteristics of massage therapy have been conclusively resolved with apparent consensus among the learned scholars, while other characteristics remain as inexplicably mysterious as ever.

For instance, they all agree that when a certain amount of pressure is applied to a soft tissue such as a muscle, some changes occur within the affected muscles. They also all tend to agree that massage therapy promotes relaxation and reduces the stress which often leads to deterioration or worsening of certain physiological conditions.

Those characteristics of massage therapy which have not yet been explained by conventional science, gave rise to a number of theories and postulates. You will note that they are all prefaced with the word “might” to indicate uncertainty as they described possible health benefits of massage therapy:

• Might provide stimulation that may help block pain signals transmitted to the brain and this is called the “gate control theory” of decreasing or alleviating pain.

• Might promote better health by stimulating the lymphatic system to increase the flow of lymph, which is the secretion that carries disease fighting cells through the body.

• Might re-route the client’s nervous system away from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic. In doing so, the fight-or-flight reaction of the sympathetic nervous system with its increased heart and breathing rates along with tightened muscles of distress are shunned in favor of the rest-and-digest reaction of the parasympathetic nervous system with its lowered heart rate, slowed breathing and relaxed muscles.

The following are specific cases and their reported benefits whether they are understood or merely observed with bewilderment:

• Students at a New Jersey Medical School who were given massage therapy before an exam displayed less anxiety, lower respiratory rates, a substantial increase in white blood cells and an enhanced immune system.

• Cancer patients at the James Cancer Hospital and Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio experienced less pain and decreased anxiety after receiving massage therapies than those who did not get such treatments.

• Studies at the University of South Carolina show that women who recently lost a child were less depressed after massage therapy.

• The National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that massage therapy improved weight gain in infants who were premature or those who were exposed to HIV. They also determined that massage therapy expedites recovery in patients who had abdominal surgery.

• Researchers at the University of the Miami School of Medicine’s Touch Research Institute discovered that massage therapy decreases high blood pressure, relieves migraine headaches, and generally increases alertness and performance in the workforce.

So, is massage therapy beneficial? Yes! Massage therapy is beneficial on, oh, so many levels. The mechanics of the process may not be clear just yet, but the outcomes are undeniable by anyone’s standards.

Reflexology Massage

2012-01-02T06:34:00.000-08:00

Reflexology Massage

Reflexology Massage, which is also known as the zone therapy, is an alternative medicine technique in which massaging, stroking, squeezing, pressing, rubbing and pushing on very specific areas of the feet, hands, and ears is applied to promote or stimulate beneficial effects to other corresponding remote parts of the body such as the vital internal organs and other essential systems. The intent is to improve the subject’s overall health of the body as a whole and the mind.

The American Association of Reflexologists claims that Reflexology Massage results in improved blood circulation, detoxification of metabolic wastes, reductions of tension and the facilitation of the body’s capability to heal itself. The Associations also claims that Reflexology Massage is effective for back pain, migraines, infertility, arthritis and a long string of other mind and body problems.

Since studies and research failed to reach clinical conclusions about the effectiveness of Reflexology Massage, medical professionals of the Western persuasion have repeatedly expressed concerns that the belief in this practice may dangerously delay treatments of potentially serious health conditions. They have even resorted to calling reflexology’s claim to maneuver energy (gi) pseudoscientific as there is no scientific evidence for the existence of life energy, crystalline structures or pathways in the human body.

In the United States, the same medical critics and others disapprove of the lack of medical training and the short duration of training such as it is. They further disparage over the fact that there exists no central regulation for accrediting and licensing Reflexology Massage therapists. Conversely, several European countries, among them Switzerland, require reflexologists to be trained and licensed medical practitioners with a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology.

However, based on ancient Chinese healing, reflexologists claim that the human body contains an invisible energy field which is the life force or the gi and they insist that a blockage or an obstruction of this life force prevent or puts off the body’s natural inclination for self healing and the improvement of health and wellness.

Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat specialist and his partner Dr. Edwin Bowers are said to have been the first to pioneer reflexology in the United States in 1913. Referring to their theory as “zone therapy”, Drs. Fitzgerald and Bowers claimed that, in fact, imposing pressure at some very specific sites of the body provides analgesic and anesthetic effects on other distant parts.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Eunice D. Ingham, a nurse and a physiotherapist, declared that the hands and feet are particularly receptive and proceeded to diagram the entire body into associated impulse or reflex points on the feet. By doing so, Ingham changed the previously spoken of “zone therapy” to “reflexology” or “reflexology massage” and his charted reflexes are still followed today.

Whether Reflexology Massage truly attains the exact results it alleges to attain is, in my opinion, not all that important. The more important issue here is the fact that a vigorous massage to the hands and feet feels so very good, especially after a hard day’s work, that it must be therapeutic in one way or another. Or maybe it just feels good and that’s OK too.

I love this poem; ( I don’t know the author.)

One Power, One Power, One Power
One Power, One Power, One Power

There's one power, invisible, and you see it everywhere and everyday
One power, indescribable, and you speak of it with every word you say
Mysterious until you know the truth
As simple as the love inside of you

Call it God, call it spirit, call it Jesus, call it Lord
Call it Budha, Bahaula, angel's wings, or heaven's doors
But whatever name you give it, it's all one power, can't you see?
It's the power of the love, in you and me

One Power, One Power, One Power

We speak so many languages
Different clothing, different colors, different names
But different is only dangerous
When we forget that in the heart we're all the same

We will remember once we close our eyes to see
That such distances were never meant to be

Call it God, call it spirit, call it Jesus, call it Lord
Call it Budha, Bahaula, ashram, or heaven's doors
It's Mohammed, it's your mind, it's your soul, it's your sign
It's the universe, it's music, Mother Earth or Father Time

But whatever name you give it, it's all one power, can't you see?
Whatever name you give it, it's the very air we breathe
It's the power of the love, in you and me

One Power, One Power, it's what we are
One Power, One Power

It's the moment of creation, it's an everlasting peace
It's the freedom of forgiveness, it's the sweetness of release
It's the joy of inspiration, it's the sunshine on your face
It's the birth right of all nations, it's the boundlessness of space

It's the beauty of a baby, the serenity of sleep
It's the anger we abandon, for it's love that's most deep

It's One Power, it's One Power, One Power is what we are
It's the power of the love, that lives forever in you and me
It's the power of the love, in you and me...

Own your light, your gifts, your goodness. Own the love that you are and acknowledge your inherent innocence and worth.

Explaining puzzling or difficult things isn't necessary, my friend…) in order to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that love is always present, that life is eternal, and that I'm still hanging ten, whoooo-hoooo'ing, and conspiring on everyone's behalf.

Have a lovely evening...)

Healthy eating is important from the day we are born

2011-12-06T09:23:00.000-08:00

The Importance of Healthy Eating

In some sense, this is true, because if you eat unhealthy foods you are prone to be an unhealthy person. The foods we ingest are extremely important to our ability to grow, maintain function, and prevent illness. Therefore, if you value your health, you should learn as much about healthy eating as possible.

Healthy eating is important from the day we are born. As a child, we grow quite rapidly and this is due in part to the foods we eat. Foods all contain nutrients that provide us not only with fuel to live our daily lives, but also with the very substances that build our bones, muscles, and organ tissues. Not getting enough of one nutrient or another can cause a variety of problems, including stunting our growth. For mothers who are nursing, nutrition is important because breast milk contains the nutrients a child needs to grow and develop properly. Upon growing older, these nutrients are then found in food, but don’t think that healthy eating isn’t important for growth after you’ve gone through puberty. Cells continuous break down and rebuild, so healthy eating for growth continues to be important until the day we die

Maintaining function is also not important without healthy eating. In out daily lives, we use energy to think, walk, talk, breathe, and perform any other action. The energy it takes our body to do these things comes from two places: fat reserves in the body or our daily food intake.

If you don’t eat healthy foods, you will find that you are storing more fat that necessary or that you aren’t getting enough and you feel sluggish or weak. Along with energy-providing nutrients, like fats and carbohydrates, we also need the right nutrients to allow our organs to do their jobs. Hormones and other substances in the body make sure that everything is working properly. If you don’t eat the right nutrients, your body cannot produce these hormones and, as a result, cannot function properly.

Lastly, healthy eating is important in order to prevent illness. When we do not get the right nutrients, or body’s natural defense system against diseases weakens, allowing viruses and bacteria to attack the body. It’s like a well-trained army—if the army doesn’t have enough to eat, it will not do well in battle. Without healthy foods and plenty of water, our bodies simply could not operate on a day-to-day basis. Learning how to eat healthy foods is therefore and important lesson, and one which we should begin learning as children.

Why You Need Protein...

When learning about healthy eating, one of the most important nutrients is protein. Of course, all nutrients are crucial for our bodies to be as healthy as possible, but without protein in our diets every single day, our bodies will not be as strong as they should be. Protein can be found in a number of food sources, so if you’re interested in eating a healthier diet, you should consider learning more about protein.

We need to eat foods rich in protein every day because, unlike some other nutrients, it cannot be stored in the body. That means that if you eat more protein than necessary, your body will simply cause it to pass through your system. Therefore, you really can’t eat too much protein! However, because protein cannot be stored in the body problems may arise surrounding this nutrient as well. If you don’t get enough protein on any given day, your body has no back-up plan for producing protein on its own or using reserved protein from previous days. Therefore, protein is very important to consider when you are planning your meals

Essentially, protein builds muscles, which is why you will see bodybuilders especially concerned with protein. When you lift weights to work out, you body makes tiny tears in the muscles. Proteins are then used to repair these healthy tears in the body, building the muscle slightly bigger with every workout. Even if you do not work out, your body’s muscle deteriorates, as you body needs the energy. Muscle provides energy, just like fat. Having protein in the body helps you to rebuild any muscle lost.

Protein also helps a person’s body in other ways, mainly with the maintenance of hormones. Hormones in the body do a number of things, such as regulate organ function, account for stimulation, create metabolism, and affect mood. Proteins are used in the making of some of these different hormones, so if you go more than a day or two without eating foods rich in proteins, your entire body will suffer.

How can you make sure that you re getting enough proteins? Simply put, look for foods with protein as a key component on the label. Some great foods to consider include chicken, beef, pork, eggs, and fish, although vegetarians can also get proteins into their diets by eating nuts, beans, soy products, and a variety of other foods. You should have some of these foods in your diet every single day to ensure that you are providing your body with the proteins it needs to stay healthy.

Nutrients You Need...

Healthy eating requires you to eat a number of nutrients every day. In fact, there are 40 different nutrients you need to ingest in order to keep your body healthy. That’s a lot of nutrients you need to know about! Luckily, you can break down all of these nutrients into smaller categories in order to keep them organized in your mind and make sure you get all of the foods you need.

First and foremost, everyone needs water in order to live a healthy life.

Without water, we become dehydrated, and eventually die. You lose water when you sweat and through daily bodily functions, so water must be replenished. Drinking about 8 glasses a day is recommended. Of course, water is found in food as well as in drinks, so you can get your 8 glasses by eating foods like watermelon.

Of course, we need much more than water every day to survive. Another group of nutrients we can’t do without is proteins. Proteins are found in foods such as meat, eggs, and soy products. They provide the amino acids needed to build muscle tissue as well as help make some of the hormones in our bodies. Red blood cells and hair is also made from protein.

Along with proteins, a body also needs adequate amounts of fats and carbohydrates in order for us to have enough energy during the day. Fats are primarily used for energy during intense activity, like exercising, while carbohydrates are primarily used for energy during less intense activities, like standing, sitting, and other movements. Both the fats and the carbohydrates that we eat in a day can be stored for later use as fat, so it is important to eat enough for energy, but also important to regulate intake in order to stay slim and healthy. In the event that you are not eating enough fats and carbohydrates, your body can also provide itself with fuel from proteins.

Vitamins and minerals are also important nutrients for our daily lives.

We get these from fruits, vegetables, milk, and most natural sources of food. Some of our foods, such as bread products, can even be enriched so that we get more vitamins and minerals in our bodies. There are dozens that you need to ingest regularly, such as iron, thiamine, vitamin C, and vitamin D. If you are eating a healthy diet, you can most likely get enough vitamins and minerals from your foods, but you can also take vitamin supplements to make sure that you are getting the right amounts you need to maintain body function. Supplements may also be available to help with other nutrients as well, so if you are worried, talk to your doctor about how you can be sure to be eating a healthy amount of nutrients.

Everyone knows that working out is good for your body.

However, do you really understand the correlation between aerobics and heart health?

There are many people who swear that doing aerobics is the best way for them to feel healthy and to be better in every aspect of their life. When it comes right down to it, aerobics and heart health is something that you want to keep an eye on because it is something that you can really focus on to get more healthy.

There are simply more benefits to aerobics than you can talk about in an article.

However, the correlation between aerobics and heart health is something that you simply cannot deny because it is something that is going to stay with you and with your health forever. When you look at aerobics and heart health you are going to see that the more aerobics you can do, the healthier your heart is going to become. This might seem like a general idea, and yes, it is very general in that the more you work, the better your heart will work for you. However, there are specific reasons that this is the case.

When it comes to the relationship between aerobics and heart health, the basic point is;

that by doing aerobics you are giving yourself a work out where your heart and lungs are constantly moving faster than they are when you are resting. This means that as you work out, your heart and lungs are forced to work harder. The more that you do, the more your heart has to do for you. By making aerobics part of your routine, you are forcing your heart to work each day, and this is going to make it stronger.

Basically, when it comes to aerobics and heart health the point is that they are connected. The better your heart is doing, the more aerobics you are going to be able to do without stopping. And the more aerobics you can do, the healthier your heart is going to be.

Like anything, when it comes to aerobics and heart health you are going

to have to work your way up.

If you haven’t done much working out, your heart isn’t going to be able to take very much right away. Aerobics and heart health are something that you have to work up to,

So take care, my friend - Why not try golf? (it`s fantastico"...)))

I wish you all a wonderful Day.

Much of learning to prevent disease revolves around having a healthier lifestyle.

2011-11-19T02:50:00.000-08:00

Are you tired or afraid of getting sick?

Much of learning to prevent disease revolves around having a healthier lifestyle. If you are overweight, your overall health will improve dramatically as will your chances of staying healthy. Exercising is going to be a huge part of prevention home remedies because not only does it help you lose weight and take pressure off your heart, it strengthens all of your body and helps get rid of the toxins that are in your body.

Eating right is a big part of getting and staying healthy. Like above, it will help you lose weight but it will also help ensure that you are putting good things in your body to fuel it and help get rid of the toxins that are in your body.

One of the tougher things to do, as if the above wasn't already tough enough, is limiting your intake of alcohol and cutting out smoking. Both of those are proven to weaken your body and will cause you to have severe and avoidable problems down the road.
Lowering your blood pressure by de-stressing is something that will help other prevention home remedies and actually could be considered one itself. Finding ways to avoid stress and unwind will help keep your body from getting sick. The more your mind stresses, the harder it is on your body. Find ways to rest and relax. Get out of incredibly stressful situations if at all possible.

Two of the best prevention home remedies are getting lots of sleep and drinking lots of water. Your body needs to have about 8 hours of good sleep per night…))Then you will feel Amazing. The less sleep your body has to go on, the more stressed it gets.

If your body gets too stressed it becomes very susceptible to sickness and disease. When that happens you are going to probably find yourself in bed much longer than you would like or can afford. You should also drink more water. Drink water when you wake up and before you go to bed. Drink water at each meal and in between meals.

Try to keep from getting thirsty, if you get thirsty you are already dehydrated.

Get yourself on a good vitamin regimen to help ensure that your body is getting the nutrients it needs. (if you don`t eat very healthy) Make sure that you are also getting enough fiber in your diet to help get rid of toxins in your body. Most of these things are common sense but it is amazing how often common sense ceases to be common in our own lives. Taking these measures will help us realize that the best and most effective prevention home remedies are not that difficult to find and that it really is easy to stay healthy.

Vital Tips in Finding Your Passion...

2011-11-01T10:19:00.000-07:00

Your Passion…

It may be easy to say that you are ready to make certain steps in finding your passion. But once you have set your mind to do these, you will soon realize that nothing is really simple and easy when it comes to this. There are so many things to think about and issues to be settled before it finally becomes clear what you really want to achieve.

Take One Step at a Time;

To make sure that you will get to your goal no matter how long it takes, you should take the necessary steps to get there. The first thing that you have to fully understand is where you are going to. You have to define that goal. What do you really want to achieve? At this point, you must answer truthfully. You cannot aim to be a gold medalist in swimming when you don’t even know how to swim.

To help you in setting your goals, it will be best if you fully understand your strengths and weaknesses. You should comprehend all your limitations. You must not be too hard on yourself by wanting something that you don’t have the capacity to attain.

After you have defined your goals, it will be easier to plan how you are going to get there.
But before you get serious with that, you have to analyze your current situation. Are you happy with where you are at? Because if you are, maybe you should rethink why would you still want to go on a different path?

On the other hand, if you feel like you are stuck on your current job and the circumstances where you are at, then you no longer have to think about what you should do. This is a very good sign that you have to move on. You have to get out of your current situation before it gets too late. Sometimes, people become too comfortable being in the zone where they are not required to excel. That should not be the case. This only means that you are no longer allowing yourself to grow. And when that happens, you may lose track of the goals that you have set to achieve.

When you have reached the point that you have forgotten about what you really want to attain, you must check on your old self. Go back to the point when you were still not where you are right now. Who are you back then? What did you dream of becoming and achieving at that point in your life? What were the things that made you happy and made you feel inspired? After realizing what you have missed, you must then think about what went wrong and what happened which caused for you to take a different route, farther than where you really would want to be.

Expand Your Horizon

No matter how young or how old you are, you still have chances to correct your mistakes.
You still can take action in finding your passion. You can always go back to the point when you have chosen to turn right when you were supposed to turn left. Go back at that point in your life. And this time, make sure that you will take the direction to the left with a more positive attitude that this is really where you want to be.

Vital Tips in Finding Your Passion;

Some people take a lifetime in realizing what they really want to do and where they want to take their journey. It will be best if you will know the essentials in finding your passion while you are still young. This way, you will have lots of time to fulfill whatever you want to achieve and enjoy its effects and benefits as well.

It is not that easy to know what you really want to do for the rest of your life. There are people who end up pursuing a very unlikely route while giving in to what they really want to achieve whenever they have time for it. The reason for such varies. For some, they want to pursue their passion only after they have gone through several failures.

To help you in this regard, here are some tips that you can follow;

You should look at things around you. Determine what or who inspire you to achieve whatever goals that you have in mind. They can be your loved ones or a specific person that encourages you to be better. These can also be things. What are the objects that create some sparks and enhance you to move forward? Use these objects and people in order to find out for yourself what you really want to happen. You can list down the things and people or places that may come to your mind when you are thinking about this so that you will keep track of what really matters to you.

Think about happy thoughts. Reminisce about the times when you were most happy in your life. What brought about such happiness? What made you happy? And while you are at it, you should also think about when was the last time when you experienced such moment. If it has already been a long time, what do you think caused such state?

You have to go back to the things that ignited your passion in the past. Read your favorite book. This may be a great time to find console digging through self-help books. This is especially true if you cannot talk to anyone close to you regarding the matter in ways that you hope to be understood.

If you are stuck in a job that you detest and your only reason why you are doing that is for money, then you will have a harder time in getting to know where your real passion lies. You may want to look back at the point before you entered this job. What were you back then or what were you thinking to achieve at that point? If you have already saved enough, you may want to consider quitting your current job. This way, you can allot more time in pursuing the things that you really want before it is already too late.

You have to be open to whatever possibilities life may bring. You need to expect more than what you already have for you to acquire such and reach a level beyond your comfort zone. This can be done by being bold enough to take a risk at a time. It doesn't matter how small or how big it is. Once you start following your heart and mind to reach to the point where you think you will be happy and satisfied, you are on the right track. And finding your passion will be easier in the long run.

Life is what I make of it…)))
I gain strength.
I gain wisdom from my experiences.
I gain joy from the love in my own heart.

May your day be filled with joy and wonder…)

Create NEW beliefs for a fresh new life!

8 Natural Ways To Relieve Stress

Before you decide to travel to your nearest pharmacist, can I suggest that you first try these methods as they deal with stress in a very simple manner? There are remedies that are much more naturally inclined that can be used. These exercises should be part of your plan to find natural ways to relieve stress.

1.Deep controlled breathing can help. Sit comfortable and inhale through the nose concentrating on contracting your stomach muscles.

2.Another form of relaxation is Progressive Relaxation. This combines breathing exercises with the slow contraction of body muscles. Work through each body muscle group from the toes to your chest, flexing each one and releasing the tension as you exhale.

3.Meditation will unite the body and mind so this is an important step. Occupy your mind with a pleasing memory or image; close your eyes and focus on that thought. Become wrapped in it and feel the joy of that moment. Ensure that you are not disturbed so this will be needed to be conducted at home.

4.Exercise benefits the mind as well as the body. Perform some cardiovascular exercise each week, twice a week for 50 minutes as this is one of the strongest natural ways to relieve stress. Your local fitness centre will be able to advise you on the best routine.

5.Where exercise is concerned, it can be augmented with some simple applications each day. Try walking up the stairs at home two steps at a time. Try out some further ways to push the body somewhat each day like taking the stairwell and not the escalator.

6.Yoga is great for settling the mind, placing you at ease and promoting mental and spiritual enlightenment. The postures taught at a Yoga class help to bring balance to your system.

7.Another fitness option is Aerobics as this will nurture your physical fitness in the same way as yoga. It depends on your interests; aerobics can be a more vigorous training exercise.

8.Tai Chi involves a series of gentle movements that enable you to feel more relaxed and maintain a higher level of concentration. This again calms the mind, and therefore reduces stress. I love Sheng Zhen Qigong, Amazing for mind and body.

It’s important to slow the stress duration by taking your mind away from the area of stress. These natural ways to relieve stress relax the mind and body. There is no real pattern as to when you should carry out the exercises though I would say at least once a week. In turn, this promotes peace within yourself and a generally more productive YOU.

Take care of yourself my love...

Meditation is used to calm the mind and relax the body.

2011-09-27T09:25:00.000-07:00

Meditation And Your Spiritual Awakening

Meditation is often visualized as an Eastern tradition where the person sits in a circle surrounded by candles and saying mantras or humming. Currently, meditation and its benefits are recognized and is far from what we had in mind before. Aside from the calming effect that it could bring, meditation are often said to be a path to awaken the spirit and start the journey towards spiritual awakening.

Meditation has different schools. Each school would have its own thought about meditation. There are also different techniques for meditation and it can also be classified based on their focus. There are meditative techniques which focus on a field or a background perception, while there are others which focus on a specific object.

Meditation is used to calm the mind and relax the body. Tension, stress and anxiety can be relieved by performing simple techniques. Aside from the inner peace that meditation brings, it can also improve the body’s total and general health. It is also a great way of improving your concentration. There are studies showing the relation between meditation and other concentration exercises with the performances of athletic and sport professionals.

Health benefits of meditation would include better circulation, deeper level of relaxation, increase in exercise tolerance among heart patients, regularizing blood pressure, reduces anxiety attacks and muscle tension, helps against allergies, arthritis, and shows significant help for those who are recovering from operation or surgery.

With this concentration process, you get to listen to the inner self and separate from the pressures of daily life. Understanding the inner self would lead to understanding of our higher self. This would increase our knowledge and understanding how the higher self unites with the universe. In meditation, you get the chance to tap into your inner self and get in touch on how it sees your life. Getting in touch with the inner self will provide guidance towards our happiness and fulfilment.

There are religions which advocate the use of meditation to reach enlightenment.
As mentioned, there are different schools of thoughts and focus that each religion adapts.
But the method or the technique used is not as important with the underlying concept that behind meditation.

Meditation is about listening to the inner self, therefore it has something to do with controlling your attention and focusing. There are too much distractions that it is very hard for some to focus their attention into what it is important and keeping the attention on fixed object. When focused on a fixed object or field, one-pointedness could be experienced and could take the person to a completely different state. This one-pointedness is not that easy to achieve though, there are some who would need to meditate for years to achieve it.

When one-pointedness is achieved, the person would experience bliss. Bliss is referred to as a natural state of the soul which cannot be experienced easily in daily lives. During this meditative state, spirituality and also the mind expands its consciousness and understanding of nature and the universe. Destructive thinking and behaviour brought about by the materialistic and fast-paced world can be flushed away by focusing more on the your spirituality.

A deeper understanding and knowledge would be felt and the body would be in one with the universe. This they say would be what would link us to the Supreme Being.
Attaining this one-pointedness could somehow be compared to a spiritual awakening, where the body and the mind can fully understand what cannot be seen or touch in the material world.

As always the best 4 you.

For many people, it is a known fact that they are unaware of being affected by stress.

2011-09-27T01:39:00.000-07:00

By relaxing your muscle groups in a systematic fashion, you will harness the power to attain a level of relaxation that brings peace to an otherwise stressful day. What you do is a series of exercises called PMR or Progressive Muscle Relaxation. It’s the art of releasing tension though initially tensing a muscle group and then relaxing that muscle group and then moving onto the next muscle group.

Relaxation methods to relieve stress are the best ways to achieve peace of mind.

This reduces anxiety and with the mind and body in balance, you can be sure to be feeling relieved of the stress that has been plaguing your body all day. Anxiety is a bad form of stressful disorder as it causes panic attacks. If you don’t find ways to control this kind of tension, it can lead to higher blood pressure, increasing health problems. That’s how serious it is.

For many people, it is a known fact that they are unaware of being affected by stress. What I mean is simply that they don’t know the difference between a relaxed muscle group and one that is tense as that has been the norm for so long. That person’s life style is much to blame for this issue as he or she has failed to realize the severity of the problem.

These methods to relieve stress can help with levels of chronic pain, depression, anxiety and stress related health problems:

1.Find a quiet environment and site comfortably.
2.Tense your facial muscles by grimacing. Hold for 10 seconds and release.
3.Tighten your fist and flex your hand upwards. Hold that position for 10 seconds and then slowly release the tension.
4.Between each muscle group, inhale slowly for the count to 4 and then exhale on a count to 2. Inhale enough to feel your diaphragm stretched and upon exhaling, feel the tension flow out of your body.
5.Continue working down through the body from the neck muscles to the chest, then the abdomen, arms, legs, buttocks and feet. Each time tense the area by stretching the limb. Then release after 10 seconds.

Do these exercises once a day initially for a few weeks or until you feel much less stressed, more relieved. Even better, ask your doctor if your blood pressure has improved. This is a form of controlled focus that cannot be rivaled if done correctly.

Also, if you enjoy going to the local gym, these exercises work well to prepare your muscles for any vigorous routine to be undertaken such as aerobics or weight lifting.

When it comes to the top methods to relieve stress, PMR is such a simple and quick routine that anyone can perform each day.

Always the best 4 you...my friend.

Accept yourself for who and where you are right now.

Don’t let stress control you; it can only do that if you allow that to happen.

2011-09-15T03:47:00.000-07:00

There are numerous methods involved in the reduction of stress.
For this article, I shall look at the simpler ones. Yoga, Tai Chi and sport may not be something you are accustomed to doing each day. Other than exercise and hitting the pharmaceutical cupboard, there are even simpler remedies to relieve stress. Here is a checklist of items to action each day.

1.Early to bed, early to rise. The expression fits well into a balanced day though its more about the controlled sleeping patterns. It’s not a good thing to have only a few hours of sleep each night. Have a good night’s sleep; 7 hours each night fits well into a stress relieving pattern.

2.Don’t drink vast amounts of caffeine as this disrupts your daily balance. If you are prone to drinking too much caffeine, try cutting down and fit some decaffeinated coffee and tea into your day. Yes, caffeine gives you a burst of energy to enable you to feel more alert but the effect is short.

3.Eat lots of fruit, get the needed daily vitamins. Apples and bananas are very healthy supplements as part of your daily food intake. Bananas are not fattening and apples help the immune system. Don’t eat too much processed food; concentrate on drinking and eating the required vitamins.

4.Salt raises your blood pressure, so keep an eye on salty foods being consumed. Higher blood pressure will contribute to your stress levels and is a killer.

5.Look back over the past week at the positive aspects that made you feel good. Did something occur that attracted an experience of joy and laughter? Send some time focusing on that moment as it will allow you to attract good feelings into your mind and smother any negative impact from the day.

6.If you must reach for pharmaceuticals, try some antioxidants. Speak to your local pharmacist initially about remedies to relieve stress. There are various remedies that protect you from heart disease and lower your blood pressure.

7.Afternoon naps can help. If you work from home, or are on the road a lot, find times in the day to relax this way. This is particularly effective if you tend to work irregular hours. This will make you feel more rested and generally more willing to face the day ahead.

Enforce these remedies to relieve stress each day to keep a healthy body and mind. Set a time that is convenient to perform the tasks, and stick to a schedule that works around your other daily commitments.

Don’t let stress control you; it can only do that if you allow that to happen.

The best ways to relieve stress can be;...

2011-09-12T13:51:00.000-07:00

Stress tends to flow from our inability to deal with problems at the time. It results in a lack of productivity, many headaches and nervous tension. All uncomfortable feelings are just not conducive to a healthy day.

It’s all about how you feel because what you feel is influencing your every thought, your every decision, and in turn each day. Feel healthier by shifting your focus towards an activity that makes you feel better. Think of something funny or just laugh anyway, the effect is one of the best ways to relieve stress.

Physical activities can really help you focus on what you want as you will change your mood and feel that stress is not afflicting you in any way. Jogging is a very good activity and therefore a remedy. Is there a sport that you like?

I can tell you that anti-depressants are not the answer. The problem still exists when the tablet wears off. You have to find a more controlled and happier way to deal with the stress. You have acknowledged the stress by recognizing it as a problem. Try meditation if sport activity is not for you. Just concentrate on your breathing with your eyes closed for 10 minutes.

The best ways to relieve stress can be listening to music, meditation, Sheng Zhen Qigong.cooking, and playing with your kids in the garden as these are all happy moments. Find a relaxed position in your home or at work and focus on a happy moment. This kind of activity alters your state of mind by replacing the stressful thoughts with a good feeling to occupy your mind.

Vitamin C Is The Best Medication To Relieve Stress.

There are many potent methods in the field of stress medication. It’s all too easy to feel that you need to reach for the pharmaceutical cupboard when stress hits causing headaches and fatigue. In fact, the better stress relief methods stem from meditation, relaxation and social activities. That said, if you wish to compliment your efforts to reduce stress with a supplement, there is one that does not require you to spend all your money on expensive drugs.

You don’t need a prescription to get your hands on vitamin C. If stress is affecting you adversely, I would advise consulting a doctor. Though, here are some ways to consume the vital body requirements daily. Vitamin C has been proven to be effective at combating stress disorders. It has latent benefits too like preventing colds. It’s also been rumored to help fight cancer.

Vitamin C reduces both the physical and the psychological effects bestowed on people when stress attacks. Those whom consume vitamin C regularly do not exhibit the signs of mental stress so easily when subjected to challenges each day. Additionally, those people find themselves able to recover from any stressful encounter much more quickly than people whom consume very little vitamin C.

How can you be sure of your needed Vitamin C intake as part of your daily medication to relieve stress? Add these to your diet:

1.Uncooked vegetables such as broccoli, sprouts, tomatoes and parsley, spinach.
2.Fresh fruits such as strawberries, bananas, apples.
3.Red and Green peppers.
4.One glass of orange juice with breakfast.
5.Raw fish foods.
6.Almonds and walnuts.
7.Whole wheat.

The other scientific fact on Vitamin C’s effect on stress is related to its effect on hormones.
Stress produces a hormone called Cortisol released by our adrenal glands. This sends the stressed effects through the body; since the body and mind are in unison, soon the mind is affected too. The hormone is triggered by a reaction to an event that can cause stress such as a sense of worry or danger.

There are many herbal remedies available that you can ask your doctor about though Vitamin C remains as the best medication to relieve stress. It’s important to recognize the early stages of stress so that you tackle it before it begins to degrade your health. Recognize very quickly any signs of depression and anxiety. Believe me, these issues can escalate into serious mental health problems. Don’t be susceptible to it, ensure you take care of your body and mind.
Sending Love and Light, Beauty and Joy…)

To see a World in a grain of sand.

2011-09-10T07:40:00.000-07:00

I really love this poem, it`s lovely.
I want to share it with you...)

To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour...

We are led to believe a lie
when we see with, not thro`the eye,
Which was born in a night, to perish in a night,
When the Soul slept in beams of light.

William Blakes.

Å se en verden i et sandkorn,
og en himmel i en markblomst,
å finne rom til uendeligheten i håndflaten,
og til evigheten i en time...

Vi blir lurt til å tro på en løgn
når vi ser med og ikke gjennom øyet,
som ble født i natten for å forsvinne i natten
mens sjelen sov i stråler av lys.

Find balance within, and you will know balance without.

The power of positive thought can do amazing things in every aspect of your life... life

2011-08-31T10:15:00.000-07:00

Interpersonal attraction is an area that you have more control over that you think. You may not necessarily be able concentrate and attract a specific person, but you can use certain concepts to attract a certain type of person into your life.

The universal law of attraction tells us that like attracts like. Magnetic attraction will draw certain things to you based on what you believe. And conscious creation of your own reality can affect all these things as well. You must first decide what you want in a person, then believe that a person meeting those criteria exists and can come into your life.

This belief in what you want and its availability to you will help a person with the qualities that you want come into your life. Interpersonal attraction, the attraction of a person that complements us and would make a great friend or partner, is as affected by things like belief and thought as other things like how happy we are, the kinds of situations we attract, and our financial situations.

If you can decide that you can have prosperity and therefore you attract it, you can decide that you can have a positive person around you as your friend or your partner and then attract that person.

Your positive belief that you can get what you want automatically surrounds you in an aura of positivity. This alone will affect those you attract by putting out a signal for other positive people. If people tend to gravitate toward those who complement their personalities, then your positive aura will attract other positive people.

Your openness to financial prosperity and good fortune will also work in your favour by attracting people into your life who hold the same beliefs and openness. The power of positive thought can do amazing things in every aspect of your life, not just in your job, your financial situation and your level of happiness, but also in the type of person you attract.

Since attraction must be mutual for it to work, believing certain positive and good things about yourself can help interpersonal attraction work for you in bringing the right people into your life.

Don't ever forget that you are special and you have within you the ability;
to make your dreams come true.

8 Natural Ways To Relieve Stress

Before you decide to travel to your nearest pharmacist, can I suggest that you first try these methods as they deal with stress in a very simple manner? There are remedies that are much more naturally inclined that can be used. These exercises should be part of your plan to find natural ways to relieve stress.

1.Deep controlled breathing can help. Sit comfortable and inhale through the nose concentrating on contracting your stomach muscles.
2.Another form of relaxation is Progressive Relaxation. This combines breathing exercises with the slow contraction of body muscles. Work through each body muscle group from the toes to your chest, flexing each one and releasing the tension as you exhale.
3.Meditation will unite the body and mind so this is an important step. Occupy your mind with a pleasing memory or image; close your eyes and focus on that thought. Become wrapped in it and feel the joy of that moment. Ensure that you are not disturbed so this will be needed to be conducted at home. Meditation is amazing…
4.Exercise benefits the mind as well as the body. Perform some cardiovascular exercise each week, twice a week for 50 minutes as this is one of the strongest natural ways to relieve stress. Your local fitness centre will be able to advise you on the best routine.
5.Where exercise is concerned, it can be augmented with some simple applications each day. Try walking up the stairs at home two steps at a time. Try out some further ways to push the body somewhat each day like taking the stairwell and not the escalator.
6.Yoga is great for settling the mind, placing you at ease and promoting mental and spiritual enlightenment. The postures taught at a Yoga class help to bring balance to your system.
7.Another fitness option is Aerobics as this will nurture your physical fitness in the same way as yoga. It depends on your interests; aerobics can be a more vigorous training exercise.
8.Tai Chi involves a series of gentle movements that enable you to feel more relaxed and maintain a higher level of concentration. This again calms the mind, and therefore reduces stress.

It’s important to slow the stress duration by taking your mind away from the area of stress. These natural ways to relieve stress relax the mind and body. There is no real pattern as to when you should carry out the exercises though I would say at least once a week. In turn, this promotes peace within yourself and a generally more productive YOU.

I remember a poem I read for a long time ago...

"When the trees their summer splendor
Change to raiment red and gold,
When the summer moon turns mellow,
And the nights are getting cold;
When the squirrels hide their acorns,
And the woodchucks disappear;
Then we know that it is autumn,
Loveliest season of the year."

Massage therapy also relaxes tight and tense muscles while improve circulation, recovery time, and immune system function, which reduce overall stress. And with the continuing research on the beneficial effects of massage therapy, its effectivity was also discovered in controlling chronic or acute pain.

Concentrated in creating different movements that can physically stretch muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia, massage therapy also encourages the circulation through the tissue, inhibit muscular spasms, and be either sedating or stimulating to the nervous system.

But, far from the common conception, elementary knowledge of massage therapy is not enough for ordinary individuals to practice it. Being a regulated health profession, massage therapy requires professionals who have completed hours of education at accredited schools and have extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology, assessment, bodywork techniques, and pathology to know when massage therapy is or is not suitable.

With the array benefits massage therapy offers to people—specially in stress reduction and in helping them get better sleep—it is no wonder that a wide patronage of it will increase energy and will improve people’s outlook on life.

2011-07-26T01:23:00.000-07:00

Feel the rain within your heart
while from time to time the wind blows a sin inside your veins
pushing hard upon your soul like a fist of dirty steel.
And you wonder on your way who’s the one seeding the sins
who’s the one leading your steps on the path to death and dark?
And the answer? You know why.
Now you long for forest green and for fertile soils to find
perfect spots for your poor roots hurt and fragile, as they are.
Sunrise doesn’t bring you joy when you fear the crack of dawn
and the sunset seems for you as the last curse brought along
to embrace your lonely dreams on the waters of the Styx.
Isn’t that your deepest wish?
Sunset is what you desire and you watch the darkness fall
with a smile, one of the few… Way too much, or way too slow
were you drinking poisoned wine. And you drink it every day. . .
Every day, because you know that the darkness fall can melt
in a crazy dream just if you can drink the venom now,
let it take you on its wings and then drink it once again
when the thirst conquers the pain.
Can’t you just forgive yourself?

SALUTATION TO THE DAWN

Look to this day!

For it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course

Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:

The bliss of growth

The glory of action

The splendor of achievement,

For yesterday is but a dream.

And tomorrow is only a vision,

But today we`ll lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness.

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day!

Such is the salutation to the dawn.

Remember my friend, that if ever all of the circumstances in your life were aligned just so, your soon-to-be friends were in all the right places at all the right times, and the financial markets, social climate, and global energies had all reached optimal points... you'd want to be gently nudged as a subtle sign that it was time to start doing new things, saying new things, and visualizing so that you might catch these gargantuan waves of change and surf to dazzling new heights?

4 you…))

The worst malpractice is the use of diet pills to lose weight.

2011-07-03T08:43:00.000-07:00

A crime against your body (2)

Murdering Metabolism: A crime against your body

For example, you are not consistent with dieting like you have been in and out of losing weight program, over the years; you gain and lose weight interchangeably. Has it something to do with ruining your diet? Does it mean a problem or just a common misconception?

It is nothing else but impossible. Diet could not be ruined. There may be noticeable shifts in the body composition that is regarded as one of the things people refer to when they talk about their metabolism being "ruined" by dieting but this is only a natural component the so-called “burning of calories.”

If one hopes to bring his or her metabolic rate up and soaring, one of the best things you can do is regain some of that lost muscle by adding weight training to your routine. With this, metabolism would be faster and attaining the lighter weight you have now is easier.

In the dieting world, this phenomenon of gain now, lose weight later is called “yo-yo” effect. There are specific positive actions you can make in order to work with any metabolic concern you may have as a result of your dieting history. Every person differs, so have the freedom and sensibility to gauge your needs and put into consideration all the factors especially how your metabolism is like.

Most people experiencing the trouble of the yo-yo effect have been trying to lose weight using a low-fat diet. However, this is not the correct approach. Low-fat diets are generally high in carbohydrate diets, and they just have this imaginary guarantee that your body will consistently give high levels of insulin. The fact is: the body does not burn fat when there are high levels of insulin.

The thought of metabolism being destroyed is of falsity. Metabolism is by fact, a phenomenon that starts in the womb and ends in the tomb. We just need to take good care of our health and see to it that our metabolic rate or metabolism as a whole is not unknown to us.

Through it, we could take strides to a life of good health and satisfaction. And we must be cautious in dieting or else…

Wrong thoughts…wrong metabolism!

“Temporary or permanent?” of course the latter would be the most popular answer unless you are the type who is strangely inclined with quick-constant-changes in your life. In whatever field it is, people find security and stability in permanence. It is funny to think that in dieting however, they give in to short-term solutions.

These short-term solutions come in different ways such as skipping meals, working out with an empty stomach and so forth.

What are the most common metabolism malpractices?

Dieters only think of one factor affecting metabolism. There are different factors that lower or heightens metabolic rate like age, sex, sleeping habits, amount of muscle mass. The tendency for most of us wanting to lose weight is to get carried away with just one area of consideration. The most typical example is that he focuses on building muscles but neglect sleep. This is not a good way because it will not give positive outcomes.

Dieters just exercise for the fat zone. This thing does not sound new to us. Even gym instructors give this as an advice. So, the dieters think that doing this would really shape them up. The truth is, they need an over-all work out to maintain weight or even improve it to the level you want to.

Another big malpractice is when dieters restrict calories too much. For experts, when food goes down too low, metabolism slows down to create a balance inside for bodily activities. There is a big possibility that you lose weight, but this may come from wrong portions of the body like the muscles or organs. You just lose weight temporarily but in the long run, you will lose muscle mass, and eventually gain weight.

The worst malpractice is the use of diet pills to lose weight. Metabolism is greatly affected by this wrongdoing. They think that taking these pills would tame their appetite and lose weight. This is just for short-term results, you have to think of long-term wellness over a temporary rejoice.

You must put in mind that health will always be the most important one not only for diet-conscious individuals but for all people. Therefore, we must not be blinded with these glittering diet malpractices.

Too lazy to sweat out and do some exercises?

2011-06-27T09:39:00.000-07:00

Diet pills versus Metabolism

Too lazy to sweat out and do some exercises? If not lazy, do you think it would be more convenient to take or swallow diet pills than boost your metabolism and do things the natural way?

Diet pills therapy is a choice for individuals who don’t want to spend most of their time and effort doing exercise and it is also a current-day approach to get rid of gaining weight by making you lose your appetite. For some pill users, they are not allowed to eat oily food and junk food as well as fast food.

In dieting, setting your goals is very important. Like if you want to get a slimmer figure, you could find a product or method of your choice. Just feel free and not worry about what others testify because not at all times that what works best for them would also work best for you. It is case-to-case basis. The market offers different diet pills and they are really making it big since many wanted to have the fast and convenient way of toning your body down.

There is however a risk for diet pills, never overdose it because it could give out fatal results. Make sure that you are safety while taking it. It is good to be healthy and sexy by pills but the feeling of satisfaction and real health differs. We could see the good points provided by diet pills but some are really negative points to know- for one’s safety.

There are pills which are habit forming and this is alarming. One could become dependent in the long run. Just like any other medical concerns, talking to your doctor would be a great help. It is for your safety.

Taking diet pills may also slow down metabolism. Instead of getting well your body would stop your appetite causing you not to eat that well, Losing weight is good but risking health is not.

To have a safer use of diet pills, seek a physician’s advice. We just want to inform you that boosting your metabolism and trying on the best method to lose weight comes naturally from one best time: YOU.

"We must be the change; we wish to see in the world."

PLANNING ON A HEALTHY DIET

2011-06-20T02:01:00.000-07:00

The Advantages Of Having A Healthy Diet

Healthy diet—which include eating balanced amount of food from all food groups—along with exercise or regular physical activity can lessen people’s inclination to health problems.

PLANNING ON A HEALTHY DIET

Experts say that though basic principle of healthy diet is simple, most people are having a hard time sticking to it. Major reasons may include a super busy lifestyle, work that causes a lot of stress or even an environment that is not conducive to having a healthy diet.

Although it is hard to start and maintain a healthy diet, nothing is impossible if you really want to achieve a healthy mind and body. For starters, it is advisable to mix up food choices from each food group. Eating a large variety of foods and veggies can also serve as a warm up in avoiding the foods that contribute to drastic weight gain. Having a balanced intake of calcium-rich foods, whole grains, and protein-rich products will also keep you in track.

To be able to maintain eating a healthy diet, you must also know your restrictions of fats, salt and sugars levels, and intakes. Lastly, you must monitor your body weight regularly for you to know if your body is absorbing all the nutrients it needs.

Here are more tips for eating well and achieving a healthy diet:

1. Meals based on starchy foods are a good start to a healthy diet. Experts agree that people should eat more starchy foods such as bread, cereals, rice, pasta, and potatoes because they are a good source of energy—not to mention being the main source of a range of nutrients of a person’s diet like fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamin B.

2. Load up a lot of fruits and veggies. Eating at least 5- 7 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day is an ideal way to maintain a healthy diet. But, it is sometimes hard to achieve because people do not want to waste time peeling or chopping certain fruits and veggies. The best way to keep up with the recommended fruit and veggies intake if to eat a variety of fruits that are either fresh, frozen, canned or dried and picking out veggies that can be finger delights such as celery, broccoli, carrots, beans and peas.

3. Be more “fishy.” Despite of the so-called “high mercury content” of fish, nutrition experts say that eating more fish—especially oily fish—is an important component of a healthy diet because it is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.

4. Try to cut down on saturated fats and sugars. Do not totally cut down on fats because your body needs it to stay healthy. Basically, fats are categorized into saturated and unsaturated fat. The former has high amount of cholesterol and the latter has lower amounts that lowers blood cholesterol. Cut down only on foods that are high in saturated fat such meat pies, sausages, hard cheese, butter and lard, pastry, cakes and biscuits, cream and the like. Also monitor your sugar intake because aside from causing decay, sugary foods can also be high in calories that contribute to weight gain.

5. Eat less salt. Too much salt can raise your blood pressure.

6. Drink lots and lots of water to keep your body well-hydrated.

Aromatherapy is a unique form of massage therapy because you don’t need physical contact all the time to get relief.

2011-06-19T08:14:00.000-07:00

The distinctive feature of deep tissue massage is that it is used on those that have chronically tight or painful muscles, repetitive strain, postural problems and recovery from injury. You will often feel sore for the next day or two.

5. Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage therapy. Here, the masseuse will use localized finger pressure in a rhythmic sequence on acupuncture meridians. Each point is held for 2 to 8 second designed to improve the flow of energy and help the body regain balance. Those who have tried it say that it is relaxing yet firm. The best part is that there is no soreness afterwards.

6. Thai massage is similar to Shiatsu because it aligns the energies of the body using gentle pressure on specific points. Part of the session also includes compressions and stretches as you are moved in a variety of postures just like yoga but in this case, you don’t do anything except go with the flow.

7. For women that are expecting, they can opt for pregnancy massage. It is designed to relieve stress, decrease swelling, relieve aches and pins as well as reduce anxiety and depression.

8. Reflexology is also known as foot massage because it involves applying pressure to certain points on the foot. Those who practice this believe that the foot corresponds to certain organs and systems so if you are able to work on that, you have also done it in the whole body.

9. Then there is sports massage that is designed for people involved in sports activities. This type is designed not only for professional athletes since it helps prevent and treat physical injuries.

10. Lastly is back massage which usually lasts 30 minutes. Unlike reflexology that focuses on the feet because it represents special points in the body, this one simply relieves tension in the back caused by lifting heavy objects or driving for long periods of time.

Of course there are other kinds of massage therapy aside from the top ten most popular ones mentioned. Given that these are the only ones available in spas, perhaps you should just stick with the best sellers.
Aromatherapy Is a Unique Form of Massage Therapy

Aromatherapy is a unique form of massage therapy because of the oils that are used during a session. The therapist may use one from more than 90 oils to provide psychological and physical benefits to the body.

Most of the oils used for aromatherapy come from natural ingredients. Examples of these include herbs, milk powders, hydrosols, sea salts, sugars, clays and mud. It is frowned upon when some use synthetic ingredients.

It is widely practiced in the US and in Europe and integrated into holistic treatments. Aside from oils, aromatherapy can be using candles and bath salts which allow you to enjoy it in the comforts of your home.

Aromatherapy is used to treat various health conditions. These include allergies, bruises, burns, diarrhea, bronchitis, colds, ear ache, energy, flu, headaches, insomnia, menopause, nervousness, scars, sprains, stress, shingles and wounds.

For home treatment, you can buy these oils off the shelf and then use it whenever you feel like it. These are easy to spot as they are all packaged in small bottles with the name of the oil and the ingredients that are used. If you are not familiar with the oil, you can open it and smell it to see if it is worth buying.

With the oil in your possession, you only have to add 2 to 3 drops like eucalyptus, tea tree or rosemary in hot water. You then hold your head over the bowl and then inhale the fumes. For other problems, you can apply oils to baths and compresses.

Aromatherapy per se is not designed to treat any major illness. It can only relieve minor problems so before you try aromatherapy, it is best to first consult with a doctor.

If you decide to go for a massage, talk with the practitioner about your medical history and current physical condition. Knowing how you feel is the only way for him or her to determine what oil should be used for the session.

Women who are pregnant or nursing should never undergo aromatherapy as the scents from the oils could be harmful to the infant.

For those who want to know more about aromatherapy, they can read it in books or in the Internet. There are also classes that can people of all levels can join so they can learn how to mix the oils together.

The benefits of aromatherapy as mentioned earlier are psychological and physical because the scent simulates the brain to trigger a reaction and at the same time supply therapeutic relief. A good example is eucalyptus oil which is known to ease congestion.

When the oil is applied to the skin, it is absorbed by the bloodstream and aids in certain health, beauty and hygiene conditions.

If you want to learn more about aromatherapy, you can take up classes. Here you will learn how to mix the oils together and create your own concoctions. Most programs will cost a little over $500 and with it, the materials to be used during the sessions.

Aromatherapy is a unique form of massage therapy because you don’t need physical contact all the time to get relief. You can inhale it or bathe in it. It is truly, a holistic form of healthcare that is worth checking out.

Reflexology Massage;

2011-06-17T09:29:00.000-07:00

Reflexology Massage;

which is also known as the zone therapy, is an alternative medicine technique in which massaging, stroking, squeezing, pressing, rubbing and pushing on very specific areas of the feet, hands, and ears is applied to promote or stimulate beneficial effects to other corresponding remote parts of the body such as the vital internal organs and other essential systems. The intent is to improve the subject’s overall health of the body as a whole and the mind.

The American Association of Reflexologists claims that Reflexology Massage results in improved blood circulation, detoxification of metabolic wastes, reductions of tension and the facilitation of the body’s capability to heal itself. The Associations also claims that Reflexology Massage is effective for back pain, migraines, infertility, arthritis and a long string of other mind and body problems.

Since studies and research failed to reach clinical conclusions about the effectiveness of Reflexology Massage, medical professionals of the Western persuasion have repeatedly expressed concerns that the belief in this practice may dangerously delay treatments of potentially serious health conditions. They have even resorted to calling reflexology’s claim to maneuver energy (gi) pseudoscientific as there is no scientific evidence for the existence of life energy, crystalline structures or pathways in the human body.

In the United States, the same medical critics and others disapprove of the lack of medical training and the short duration of training such as it is. They further disparage over the fact that there exists no central regulation for accrediting and licensing Reflexology Massage therapists. Conversely, several European countries, among them Switzerland, require reflexologists to be trained and licensed medical practitioners with a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology.

However, based on ancient Chinese healing, reflexologists claim that the human body contains an invisible energy field which is the life force or the gi and they insist that a blockage or an obstruction of this life force prevent or puts off the body’s natural inclination for self healing and the improvement of health and wellness.

Dr. William H. Fitzgerald, an ear, nose and throat specialist and his partner Dr. Edwin Bowers are said to have been the first to pioneer reflexology in the United States in 1913. Referring to their theory as “zone therapy”, Drs. Fitzgerald and Bowers claimed that, in fact, imposing pressure at some very specific sites of the body provides analgesic and anesthetic effects on other distant parts.

In the 1930s and 1940s, Eunice D. Ingham, a nurse and a physiotherapist, declared that the hands and feet are particularly receptive and proceeded to diagram the entire body into associated impulse or reflex points on the feet. By doing so, Ingham changed the previously spoken of “zone therapy” to “reflexology” or “reflexology massage” and his charted reflexes are still followed today.

Whether Reflexology Massage truly attains the exact results it alleges to attain is, in my opinion, not all that important. The more important issue here is the fact that a vigorous massage to the hands and feet feels so very good, especially after a hard day’s work, that it must be therapeutic in one way or another. Or maybe it just feels good and that’s OK too.
Massasge Therapy

Massage Therapy;

is just one persuasion from a wide array of other very effective and closely related persuasions such as Acupressure, Body Work, Manipulative Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Structural Integration, Alternative Medical Systems, Mind-Body Intervention, Biologically Based Therapy, Energy Therapy, Shiatsu and Tui Na. And all these as a group come under the wide umbrella of alternative medicine and body-based methods. Massage Therapy is a procedure in which various methods are utilized to manipulate soft tissues of the subject’s body such as the muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, connective tissues as well as the lymphatic vessels and organs of the gastrointestinal system.

The primary goal of Massage Therapy is to affect physical, psychological and functional curative changes by performing manipulative functions which involve moving or stationery pressure, structured or unstructured force to strategic points, vibration, stroking, kneading, and so on. On occasion, mechanical devices are used as tools of the trade, but for the most part, Massage Therapy is applied manually with the therapist’s hands, fingers, elbows, forearms and feet as the subject is fully clothed in a massage chair or partially to totally naked but covered with a towel on a massage table or on a mat on the floor.

Ancient scriptures have attested to the fact that massage therapy dates back into antiquity and it has been a fundamental practice in many different cultures such as the Roman, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Indian. Even Biblical writings from c. 493 BC speak of daily massage with olive oil and myrrh being applied to the wives of Xerxes (Esther, 2:9-12) as part of their daily beauty routine. Hippocrates of Cos, a Greek physician of the fourth century BC who is also considered the “father of medicine” and after whose teachings the famous Hippocratic Oath was named, wrote that “The physician must be experienced in many things, but assuredly in rubbing.”

Advancing to more modern times, Massage Therapy gained its popularity in the United States when it was presented by two physicians from New York in the 1800s. Their techniques were an adaptation from the Per Henrik Ling Massage Therapy which was developed in Sweden. With the introduction of new and exciting innovations in medicine during the 1930s and 1940s, the popularity of Massage Therapy waned but was revived again by the athletic community in the 1960s and 1970s. Massage Therapy was provided as a central medical service for the first time in the United States during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

Etymologically speaking, the word “massage” in English comes from a long line of derivatives as follows: the French word “massage” which means “the friction of kneading,” which comes from the Arabic word “massa” which means “to touch, feel or handle,” which comes from the Latin word “massa” which means “mass or dough.” The Greek word for “massage” is “anatripsis” and the Latin word is “firctio.” However, the oldest known origin of the English word “massage” comes from the Biblical Hebrew word “me-sakj” which means “to anoint with oil.”

What we refer to as Massage Therapy today has in the past been merely referred to as Massage. However, the “therapy” portion of the Massage Therapy came into being only when the illegal prostitution and sexual services in the United States began advertising themselves and their wares as “massage.” Wanting to distinguish itself, the legitimate massage became Massage Therapy while the illicit continued to be called massage.

Relaxation methods to relieve stress are the best ways to achieve peace of mind.

2011-06-06T08:02:00.000-07:00

By relaxing your muscle groups in a systematic fashion:
you will harness the power to attain a level of relaxation that brings peace
to an otherwise stressful day. What you do is a series of exercises called PMR or Progressive Muscle Relaxation. It’s the art of releasing tension though initially tensing a muscle group and then relaxing that muscle group and then moving onto the next muscle group.

Relaxation methods to relieve stress are the best ways to achieve peace of mind.

This reduces anxiety and with the mind and body in balance, you can be sure to be feeling relieved of the stress that has been plaguing your body all day. Anxiety is a bad form of stressful disorder as it causes panic attacks. If you don’t find ways to control this kind of tension, it can lead to higher blood pressure, increasing health problems and eventually death – if not treated. That’s how serious it is.

For many people, it is a known fact that they are unaware of being affected by stress. What I mean is simply that they don’t know the difference between a relaxed muscle group and one that is tense as that has been the norm for so long. That person’s life style is much to blame for this issue as he or she has failed to realize the severity of the problem.

These methods to relieve stress can help with levels of chronic pain, depression, anxiety and stress related health problems:

1.Find a quiet environment and site comfortably.
2.Tense your facial muscles by grimacing. Hold for 10 seconds and release.
3.Tighten your fist and flex your hand upwards. Hold that position for 10 seconds and then slowly release the tension.
4.Between each muscle group, inhale slowly for the count to 4 and then exhale on a count to 2. Inhale enough to feel your diaphragm stretched and upon exhaling, feel the tension flow out of your body.
5.Continue working down through the body from the neck muscles to the chest, then the abdomen, arms, legs, buttocks and feet. Each time tense the area by stretching the limb. Then release after 10 seconds.

Do these exercises once a day initially for a few weeks or until you feel much less stressed, more relieved. Even better, ask your doctor if your blood pressure has improved. This is a form of controlled focus that cannot be rivaled if done correctly.

Also, if you enjoy going to the local gym, Zheng Zhen Qigong or Yoga these exercises work well to prepare your muscles for any vigorous routine to be undertaken such as aerobics or weight lifting.

When it comes to the top methods to relieve stress, PMR is such a simple and quick routine that anyone can perform each day.

Don’t get stressed about being stressed?

2011-05-31T04:12:00.000-07:00

That’s the first tip, and there are easy ways to relieve stress so that you bring peace of mind to yourself. Whatever it is that is stressing you must be confronted and controlled. The idea is to separate you from whatever it is that is causing stress and place your mind and body into a place of serenity.

1.Relax in a chair, close your eyes and empty your mind of all thoughts except for one. This could be whatever it is that has brightened up your day recently. Focus on that ray of sunshine that gives you a smile. Do this for around 10 minutes each day.

2. Listen to melodic atmospheric music such as a calm sea with beach sounds, this type of music can be found on many web sites. Again, close your eyes and visualize yourself in that scene being painted by the music.

3. Aside from visualization as above, basic controlled breathing can be the most effective method when facilitating easy ways to relieve stress. Inhale for a count to 5, and exhale on a count to 3. This can be more effective if you combine this breathing exercise with point 1.

4. Engage in a conversation with a friend or family member. Talking to people can help relieve stress as you can talk about the stressful events in your life and share your experiences. You can be sure that you are not alone.

5. Go for a walk in the park or on a beach. Find a part of the countryside away from the urban jungle if you live in the city. Find a place of tranquility where you can breathe pure air and dispense your worries.
6. Massage, therapy… Yoga, meditation, Sheng Zhen Qigong, has been proven to improve the immune system so this should be considered if you are suffering from serious amounts of daily stress. Stress can break down the immune system slowly but surely.

7. Yoga is very effective here. It’s a known historical fact that Yoga can control stress related illnesses, pain and depression.

8. If you are experiencing heartburn stress and basic relaxation is not helping enough, visit your pharmacist and ask for a remedy. These come in various strengths so be clear to your pharmacist about the severity of the heartburn.
Bad states of mind like worrying will just wear you down.

Depression is an illness not a state of mind; it’s where you have reached as a result of too much worry, fear, irritability, and anxiety. Attack the stress head on using these easy ways to relieve stress and your daily life feel much more in your control.

I hope/wich; you will stop…take a breath…and enjoy Your life.
As Always the best 4 You.

2011-05-26T00:30:00.000-07:00

If you want to find your passion you must let your heart and true calling guide you.

Does your work reflect your true personality? Or your everyday choices at work allow you to be true to yourself? If you want to life your life to the fullest, have the courage to be true to your passion and find the job that gives you the opportunity to do it.
Follow your heart and dreams and strive on finding your passion. When you do this, you will experience a transformational leap of knowing yourself and connection to the universe.

Each person has a unique final discovery of their passion but it truly determines who you want to be. World-renowned essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson has sum up the things that defines an individual’s success, you might find inspiration thru his words: Success

Life without Passion is like a tree without branches…
Shaping our conditions begins with our thoughts.

Have you ever heard the saying you are what you eat?

2011-05-23T08:51:00.000-07:00

Have you ever heard the saying you are what you eat?

In some sense, this is true, because if you eat unhealthy foods you are prone to be an unhealthy person. The foods we ingest are extremely important to our ability to grow, maintain function, and prevent illness. Therefore, if you value your health, you should learn as much about healthy eating as possible.

Healthy eating is important from the day we are born. As a child, we grow quite rapidly and this is due in part to the foods we eat. Foods all contain nutrients that provide us not only with fuel to live our daily lives, but also with the very substances that build our bones, muscles, and organ tissues. Not getting enough of one nutrient or another can cause a variety of problems, including stunting our growth. For mothers who are nursing, nutrition is important because breast milk contains the nutrients a child needs to grow and develop properly.

Upon growing older, these nutrients are then found in food, but don’t think that healthy eating isn’t important for growth after you’ve gone through puberty. Cells continuous break down and rebuild, so healthy eating for growth continues to be important until the day we die.

Maintaining function is also not important without healthy eating.

In out daily lives, we use energy to think, walk, talk, breathe, and perform any other action. The energy it takes our body to do these things comes from two places: fat reserves in the body or our daily food intake. If you don’t eat healthy foods, you will find that you are storing more fat that necessary or that you aren’t getting enough and you feel sluggish or weak. Along with energy-providing nutrients, like fats and carbohydrates, we also need the right nutrients to allow our organs to do their jobs. Hormones and other substances in the body make sure that everything is working properly. If you don’t eat the right nutrients, your body cannot produce these hormones and, as a result, cannot function properly.

Lastly, healthy eating is important in order to prevent illness.

When we do not get the right nutrients, or body’s natural defense system against diseases weakens, allowing viruses and bacteria to attack the body. It’s like a well-trained army—if the army doesn’t have enough to eat, it will not do well in battle. Without healthy foods and plenty of water, our bodies simply could not operate on a day-to-day basis. Learning how to eat healthy foods is therefore and important lesson, and one which we should begin learning as children.

Why You Need Protein

When learning about healthy eating, one of the most important nutrients is protein. Of course, all nutrients are crucial for our bodies to be as healthy as possible, but without protein in our diets every single day, our bodies will not be as strong as they should be. Protein can be found in a number of food sources, so if you’re interested in eating a healthier diet, you should consider learning more about protein.

We need to eat foods rich in protein every day because, unlike some other nutrients, it cannot be stored in the body. That means that if you eat more protein than necessary, your body will simply cause it to pass through your system. Therefore, you really can’t eat too much protein! However, because protein cannot be stored in the body problems may arise surrounding this nutrient as well. If you don’t get enough protein on any given day, your body has no back-up plan for producing protein on its own or using reserved protein from previous days. Therefore, protein is very important to consider when you are planning your meals.

Essentially, protein builds muscles, which is why you will see bodybuilders especially concerned with protein. When you lift weights to work out, you body makes tiny tears in the muscles. Proteins are then used to repair these healthy tears in the body, building the muscle slightly bigger with every workout. Even if you do not work out, your body’s muscle deteriorates, as your body needs the energy. Muscle provides energy, just like fat. Having protein in the body helps you to rebuild any muscle lost.

Protein also helps a person’s body in other ways, mainly with the maintenance of hormones.

Hormones in the body do a number of things, such as regulate organ function, account for stimulation, create metabolism, and affect mood. Proteins are used in the making of some of these different hormones, so if you go more than a day or two without eating foods rich in proteins, your entire body will suffer.

How can you make sure that youre getting enough proteins? Simply put, look for foods with protein as a key component on the label. Some great foods to consider include chicken, beef, pork, eggs, and fish, although vegetarians can also get proteins into their diets by eating nuts, beans, soy products, and a variety of other foods. You should have some of these foods in your diet every single day to ensure that you are providing your body with the proteins it needs to stay healthy.

Nutrients You Need

Healthy eating requires you to eat a number of nutrients every day. In fact, there are 40 different nutrients you need to ingest in order to keep your body healthy. That’s a lot of nutrients you need to know about! Luckily, you can break down all of these nutrients into smaller categories in order to keep them organized in your mind and make sure you get all of the foods you need.

First and foremost, everyone needs water in order to live a healthy life. Without water, we become dehydrated, and eventually die. You lose water when you sweat and through daily bodily functions, so water must be replenished. Drinking about 8 glasses a day is recommended. Of course, water is found in food as well as in drinks, so you can get your 8 glasses by eating foods like watermelon.

Of course, we need much more than water every day to survive. Another group of nutrients we can’t do without is proteins. Proteins are found in foods such as meat, eggs, and soy products. They provide the amino acids needed to build muscle tissue as well as help make some of the hormones in our bodies. Red blood cells and hair is also made from protein.

Along with proteins, a body also needs adequate amounts of fats and carbohydrates in order for us to have enough energy during the day. Fats are primarily used for energy during intense activity, like exercising, while carbohydrates are primarily used for energy during less intense activities, like standing, sitting, and other movements. Both the fats and the carbohydrates that we eat in a day can be stored for later use as fat, so it is important to eat enough for energy, but also important to regulate intake in order to stay slim and healthy. In the event that you are not eating enough fats and carbohydrates, your body can also provide itself with fuel from proteins.

Vitamins and minerals are also important nutrients for our daily lives. We get these from fruits, vegetables, milk, and most natural sources of food. Some of our foods, such as bread products, can even be enriched so that we get more vitamins and minerals in our bodies. There are dozens that you need to ingest regularly, such as iron, thiamine, vitamin C, and vitamin D. If you are eating a healthy diet, you can most likely get enough vitamins and minerals from your foods, but you can also take vitamin supplements to make sure that you are getting the right amounts you need to maintain body function. Supplements may also be available to help with other nutrients as well, so if you are worried, talk to your doctor about how you can be sure to be eating a healthy amount of nutrients.

You have a smile that lights the world,

Do you think about how everything in life is cyclic?

2011-05-20T11:14:00.000-07:00

I wish You: A wonderful Week-end. Take care of yourself my friend.

For a long time ago I hear a sentence; (I love)I want to share these wonderful word with You.

"I love to think of myselves as a Musician in the orchestra of the Universe".

I`m sitting in my cottage, it`s wonderful to be here. So close to the amazing "mother Nature". Where I love to be, I also wondering:

Do you think about how everything in life is cyclic?

The weather is in seasons...

the moon and sun work in cycles...

Plant grow in seasons...

It`s very interesting, we humans also have many cycles within us.

You know I really love this stuff, for if you understand your body and your energy center (chakra)cycles. You can learn to find balance in your life. You know: Balance is essential- Chakras are the channels of spirit to matter manifestation...

You know the starting point of great success is when you sit down and decide exactly what you really want, in every area of your life.

In An Unorthodox Conception of Being, William Ellsworth Hermance says;"we are forced til view matter as of two planes: the material and the spiritual.

The single atom is not material, it is spiritual; that is, it is simly a definite amount of Power, andthe Power alone would be a absolutely immaterial"

Let the beauty we love...be what we do.

Sending love- light- beauty and lots of Joy.

Healthier mind means healthier body.

2011-05-16T02:13:00.000-07:00

Healthier mind means healthier body.

The human brain is a multifaceted organization of cells and around fifty million neurons that work with utmost complexity in order to keep you going healthy and strong.

It is believed to be five times bigger than an average brain of a mammal with the same body size. In human beings, the frontal lobes and the forebrain are especially expanded since these parts are the ones responsible for self-control, planning and reasoning.

Thus, in order for you to have a stronger and healthier body, try to better you brain.

Healthier mind means healthier body.
It is during our childhood, or the early stage of our lifespan that the development of the brain and the central nervous system is critical. As we grow older, the body’s capacity to absorb nutrients is weakened. Thus, it becomes more difficult for us to protect ourselves from illnesses, injuries and stresses.

Simultaneously with our aging process, we also lose neurons, or commonly called as the brain cells. Unlike the other body cells, the neurons do not regenerate nor do they replicate; and they do not have the capacity to repair themselves.

Because of this, our brain is not able to perform as well as when we were younger.
Thus, in order to keep our brains performing well, we have to follow some do’s and don’ts. This way we can help our brain maintain its fitness and strength.

What to do:
See to it that you exercise regularly and that you engage yourself in physical activities that can help you maintain your vitality.
Your mind is exercised more if you participate in active learning. Try new experiences so that you can learn from such experiences firsthand.
Maintain your social life as well. Do not isolate yourself from your social groups; instead, you should keep in touch with each of them.

A happier life would mean a healthier life.
You should always be in control of your life. Do not feel as if you have no power over things. Maintain a positive self-image and a positive outlook on life.
Do not be overwhelmed by stress. You should know how to handle them all.

A balanced diet will definitely keep you healthy. So, as much as possible, you should eat a balanced meal and foods that are rich in antioxidants and vitamins.

You should get enough rest and sleep. Professionals believe that you should sleep for at least six to eight hours a day.

If you have any health problems, you should give attention to them as early as possible. Never take your health for granted.

As always the best 4 You...

One of the most important fundamental aspects of personal mastery is personal vision.

2011-04-26T02:28:00.000-07:00

Personal mastery is about approaching life from a different perspective.

Sometimes people would refer to it as a journey towards continuous improvement. Personal mastery is guided with key principles like vision, personal purpose, creative tension, commitment to truth and understanding the subconscious mind.

One of the most important fundamental aspects of personal mastery is personal vision. Personal mastery when combined personal vision can create a framework or guiding philosophy on how you can operate and live your life. Some people would say that personal vision serves as a guide that would keep you on track.

Followers of personal mastery see that there are great opportunities to improve their growth. Followers recognize that there are many avenues for growth and opportunities like books, tapes, lectures and school courses. People also benefit from organizations
in their quest for personal mastery.

Personal mastery is about loving yourself and expressing your gifts to its fullest.

Some would think that personal mastery is controlling and limiting one self, but actually it is about understanding your personality. To control or overcome some habits, it would be important to identify how ad why those habits arise. The more you suppress things, the more you would have difficulty in conquering and overcoming it.

Personal mastery is self-discipline.

It is about taking responsibility for the direction that your life is going to take. You would slowly realize that you can do anything with the aide of your skills and talents. Discipline would clarify and deepen your perspective in life. Those who quest for personal mastery would develop patience and see life objectively.

Personal mastery can actually help you become successful in life. You can say that you have developed personal mastery if you are starting to fully understand your strengths, talents and your purpose in life. Personal mastery enables you to be inspired, energized and happy with your life. You start to show a sense of commitment in changing on how people perceive life and the world. The ultimate thing about personal mastery is that you would always feel that you are guided and supported by God.

It is also important for a person who is in quest for personal mastery to develop integrity, humility, justice and industry. Actually, these are “rules” on how we could conduct ourselves professional, socially and spiritually.

Peter Senge said; that attaining personal mastery has no shortcuts or no “quick fixes.” Sometimes it would take a lifetime for personal mastery to be attained. Personal mastery detaches a person from self-interest or selfishness and encourage people towards providing care and service to other people. Also individuals who follow personal mastery see the connections in their surroundings and perceived everything as a whole.

Proactive behaviour is also something that personal mastery helps you to develop. Reactive behaviour like thinking beforehand hand that you cannot do things is dealt with when developing personal mastery. Actions and service that you provide are based on how you can creatively maximize your skills.

To summarize it, personal mastery guides you to develop being aware with your beliefs, attitudes and behaviour impacts. It also enables you to accept yourself and be responsible with your own action, attitude, and thought.

Experts would say that personal mastery could be truly gained by living purposefully and by living with integrity. Living purposefully would include showing talents, gifts and strengths to achieve goals and be successful. Living with integrity is by integrating your ideals, standards and behaviour.

Positive thinking and positive visualization follow....

2011-04-04T11:01:00.000-07:00

Spiritual abundance might sound like a phrase that’s hard to decipher. Is it talking about being a very spiritual person, more abundantly spiritual than others? Actually, the ability to tap into your deepest inner self while allowing the universe to provide for your needs is a good definition.

We are all spiritual beings. Whether you’re religious or you do anything spiritual on a day to day basis or not, you have a spiritual side. Some people define their spirituality with a religion, while others believe that our connection to the world around us and nature defines that side of ourselves.

Regardless of how you define it, you can gain a better understanding of your spiritual self and your ability to achieve spiritual abundance by following a few basic steps.

Attracting abundance and attracting prosperity is basically the same thing. And the first step to achieving them is by believing that it’s possible. For some, this is the hardest thing to learn about spiritual abundance because they have been conditioned to believe that it’s so difficult to get anywhere in life.

Positive thinking and positive visualization follow the principle that if you picture something and believe that it’s possible, you can make it happen in your life. It’s necessary to learn to do this when it comes to success, your financial situation and any situation in your life you want to change with spiritual abundance.

If you cannot picture yourself with a large bank account, with bills that are paid, with no debt or less debt, you won’t attract those things to you. But abundance can be yours if you’ll learn to first decide what it is that you want and then decide that it can be yours.

Some people write checks to themselves. Some people use a fake million dollar bill. But they focus on these things, they look at them frequently—sometimes several times a day—and they learn to believe that they will have these things.

The law of abundance basically teaches you to tap into the power of your mind and your beliefs to achieve your dreams. It is positive thinking and positive visualization amplified and focused to an even sharper point. Instead of just feeling positive in general, you’ll use that positive feeling toward a specific thing.

If you want to get out of debt, pay off your car or your house, or afford a vacation, you will need a specific amount of money to do those things. And it may seem like too large an amount of money. You might think that there’s no way you can get that much money for those things any time soon.

Instead you see months, maybe years, of scraping and sacrificing other things in order to be able to afford it. Because you can picture that and you believe it, you ensure it will happen that way.

Shift your thinking instead to see yourself effortlessly coming into the money to enable these things in your life, and you will attract spiritual abundance.

As Always the best 4 you...

When you realize no one else on this earth can be like you..

2011-03-25T00:29:00.000-07:00

Nice to be back...) after a wonderful journey. I look forward to the amazing spring and a long warm summer. We need to look forward, you know what they say; The more fun,pleasure and creativity there is in your life the more powerful and free you feel.
..the lighter your thoughts are , the more clarity of vision you have.

The Universal Power is strong and ...act is the blossom of thought, as a being of power, intelligence- love I am shore the people of this world can manage everything.

One of the most importan principles in creating a life with balance is creating your own unique spirital connection that reflects your core beliefs and desired lifestyle.
August Comte says; the positive spirit consists in keeping oneself equally distant from two dangers-mysticism and epmpiricism.

"Like water, which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so
long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the
true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed."
- Indra Devi

I wish You...A wonderful Day and A Colourful Week-end. Let`s spread the love and our lovely energy to each other. Feel the FLOW of love.

Much of learning to prevent disease revolves around having a healthier lifestyle.

2011-03-21T03:13:00.000-07:00

Are you tired or afraid of getting sick?
Prevention home remedies are highly sought after and used by those who want to avoid getting sick. They can be things that you learn to avoid, things that you have to force yourself to change in your lifestyle, or things that you have to learn to eat or drink.
Much of learning to prevent disease revolves around having a healthier lifestyle. If you are overweight, your overall health will improve dramatically as will your chances of staying healthy. Exercising is going to be a huge part of prevention home remedies because not only does it help you lose weight and take pressure off your heart, it strengthens all of your body and helps get rid of the toxins that are in your body.
Eating right is a big part of getting and staying healthy. Like above, it will help you lose weight but it will also help ensure that you are putting good things in your body to fuel it and help get rid of the toxins that are in your body.
One of the tougher things to do, as if the above wasn't already tough enough, is limiting your intake of alcohol and cutting out smoking. Both of those are proven to weaken your body and will cause you to have severe and avoidable problems down the road.
Lowering your blood pressure by de-stressing is something that will help other prevention home remedies and actually could be considered one itself. Finding ways to avoid stress and unwind will help keep your body from getting sick. The more your mind stresses, the harder it is on your body. Find ways to rest and relax. Get out of incredibly stressful situations if at all possible.
Two of the best prevention home remedies are getting lots of sleep and drinking lots of water. Your body needs to have about 8 hours of good sleep per night. The less sleep your body has to go on, the more stressed it gets.
If your body gets too stressed it becomes very susceptible to sickness and disease. When that happens you are going to probably find yourself in bed much longer than you would like or can afford. You should also drink more water. Drink water when you wake up and before you go to bed. Drink water at each meal and in between meals. Try to keep from getting thirsty, if you get thirsty you are already dehydrated.
Other things that are prevention home remedies are simple things like washing your hands frequently, especially when touching things that could have viruses on it (which is pretty much anything that people touch). Clean those items when you can especially when they are in places that you frequent or live in.

Get yourself on a good vitamin regimen to help ensure that your body is getting the nutrients it needs. Make sure that you are also getting enough fiber in your diet to help get rid of toxins in your body. Most of these things are common sense but it is amazing how often common sense ceases to be common in our own lives. Taking these measures will help us realize that the best and most effective prevention home remedies are not that difficult to find and that it really is easy to stay healthy.

As Always the best 4 you.

Tips and tricks to better your memory

Memory is important in our lives. It will not only tell us who we are and remind us of the things that have happened in our lives, it will also give us the knowledge that we need to survive. We use memory when we learn new lessons in school or when we are studying for an exam. We also need an excellent memory when socializing. People who can remember names and people appear to be warmer and are better conversationalists than people who are forgetful. Thus it is important that you start bettering your memory.

Below are some tips on how to improve your memory. Some you can do to improve your brain’s function while the others are preventive measures that will help you have great memory skills even after old age.

Change your lifestyle
As far-fetched as it seems, what you do with your life can affect your memory. Thus, people who want to better their memory do not only try out memory techniques but also change their whole lifestyle. You can start by avoiding vices that will hurt your brain processes. This includes smoking and drinking beyond the one bottle a day limit for women and two bottles a day for men. This is of course for beers only.

Stress is another factor that can lessen your memory skills. Stress have been shown to not only weaken the body and the immune system but also to weaken the mental processes. Since stress cannot really be avoided, you need to make sure that you find ways to relax and curtail stress. You can do this by resting your head on weekends and having enough sleep everyday. You should also start exercising and meditating which are both good for the brain.

Change your diet
What you eat will determine who you are. This may be a cliché but it is true nonetheless. If you want to have a more powerful brain, you should make sure that you include in your diet what is often called the brain foods. These are foods that contain choline and proteins which help in the development of the brain. Examples of these brain foods are tuna, salmon and other fishes; soya, tofu, milk, peanuts and meat which are rich in proteins. Veggies and fruits also help by keeping the body strong and rich in supply of anti-oxidants. Young children in fact are encouraged to eat lots of these foods especially at that age when their brains are still developing.

Exercise your mind
One of the reasons why the brain slows down is because it is not used as often as it should be used. There are studies in fact that support this. People who answer crossword puzzles, play strategic games and work even when they are old are less likely to have Alzheimer’s. The use of the brain is actually a preventive measure for the onset of forgetfulness during old age.

Use memory techniques
Your brain also needs you help. It does not mean that if your brain is powerful, you will not make the job easy for it. If you want to better your memory, use memory techniques that will help you remember more. One example is the use of mnemonics, or key letters or words that will represent a whole lot of information. Another memory technique is the association, which allows you to associate an information or item with something that you can already see or what you already know.

I trust the process of life to bring me my highest good.

together desire more love and create more joy."

Steps to a powerful and effective massage.

2011-02-14T09:50:00.000-08:00

"Soul meets soul on lover's lips." ~ Percy Bysshe Shelly

Steps to a powerful and effective massage

During massage sessions, the first thing that needs to be done is to unplug the phone first. This would ensure that you have the luxury of time to spend with each other.
Since a massage is not the kind of experience you would want to do hastily, it is best if you check the room you would use. Some of the possible factors that would affect—directly or indirectly—the outcome of a relaxing massage experience is the lighting and the overall atmosphere of the room. Make sure to turn off the light but if you or your partner is the type that enjoys mystery during a massage session, you can light scented candles or let natural sunlight permeate through your opened window to provide soft and indirect lighting.

And though you might want to play a soft sensual music throughout the massage, it is better if you keep the room quiet so you would hear and feel what delights your partner. It is also best if you would rearrange the room to give it a hands-on feeling and make sure it’s cozy and warm so both of you would be comfortable. Although it is ideal to give a massage on a firm and flat surface like a massage table, a firm mattress would do. It is also more adventurous if you will try to pile up the pillows on the solid floor to achieve that ultimate massage experience.

Some sanitary factors might also affect the massage experience. To avoid having delays to a massage, check if your hands are clean by making sure that your fingernails are properly trimmed. It is also suitable to keep your hands dry and warm by rubbing them together thoroughly. Although it not ‘a must’ to be clean before a massage, your partner definitely be more comfortable and relaxed if the essential parts of the body, like the hands and toes are clean. Ask the massage receiver if he or she would want to take a bath first before the session starts.

After considering all the factors that would affect the entire session, the time comes for the actual massage. You must keep in mind that constant contact with your partner is a very important thing throughout because it helps the massage flow smoothly. It is equally important to know the pressure suitable for your partner by intently listening to their responses while asking him or her once in a while. To make that the pressure is just right for your partner, keep your movements symmetric, even, and rhythmic by following smooth patterns.

The Healthier the Better: Your Brain’s Health Improvement

The Healthier the Better: Your Brain’s Health Improvement

They say that aging is one of the causes that lead to the weakening of your brain’s performance. As you grow older, your memory becomes out of form, this is why there are illnesses such as the unfortunate Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, there are already known ways that can help you better your brain performance, thus giving you the protection from the dreaded brain deterioration.

One good prevention is the inclusion of colorful fruits and vegetables to your diet.
The brighter the color of the fruit or vegetable, the healthier and fresher it is – thus, the better. As you may know, healthy foods help the body get rid of unhealthy toxins because these foods have antioxidants. If you follow this kind of diet, then you may have a 70% lower chance of suffering from dementia when you get older.

Vitamins, especially vitamin B can also help maintain the fitness of your brain.
If you lack vitamin B, you are more prone to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and many other diseases. So, you may want to include vitamin supplements in your everyday meal. If you do not feel like you need supplements, then you may want to cut down on your alcohol and cigarette consumption for these substances, together with coffee and sugar, can use up your body’s stock of vitamin B. Aside from this, you should also try eating more beans and green veggies; these are rich in vitamin B.

You should stay away from bad fats that come from junk foods.
Your brain may be made up of fats, but this does not mean that it should come from the fats from hot dogs. Instead of munching on unhealthy foods, enjoy good fats such as fish and nuts and all those foods which are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. If you do this, you will have a higher chance of keeping your brain in its best shape.

Stress is another thing that you should avoid if you want a healthy brain.
Hence, you should protect yourself from being too stressed out and from being overwhelmed by all the drama that may come your way. Release your tension, relax and meditate so that you can give your body and your mind the time they need to recharge. Also, take enough rest and sleep. Six to eight hours of sleep is highly suggested to keep your mind in its prime. After a good rest, you should engage yourself in healthy activities, such as exercising and working out. This will keep your body active and alert.

Finally, if you are exercising your body, you should exercise your brain as well.
Always use your mind – think and rethink. Keep your brain muscles active by reading, doing puzzles, answering crosswords and socializing with other people. There are a lot of activities that are designed to keep you thinking. Any type of activity from which you can learn is worth trying. Do not be afraid to explore, active learning is the key to your mind’s actual exercise.

As you know, the healthier you are the better; your brain should also feel the same way. If you are doing all your best to keep yourself physically fit, you should also keep yourself mentally fit. Fight all the factors that may cause the weakening of your brain performance.
Tips to Better Your Brain Performance

It may be true that as you get older, your memory also deteriorates. But this does not mean that if you are younger, your brain is not capable of memory deterioration. Aging is just one cause of memory loss, but there are other factors. Thus, if you want to prevent this, you may want to read these tips to a better your brain performance.

Finding your passion at work is the key to ensure lifelong happiness

2011-01-30T10:52:00.000-08:00

Secrets on Finding Your Passion at Work

Finding your passion at work is the key to ensure lifelong happiness, contentment and good health. When you love what you do, it matters less how much money you have in the bank. You look forward each day that comes with zest and excitement. You feel your work and everything else in life is full of adventure, opportunities and satisfaction. You are at your best health, you sleep well, and you feel rejuvenated and inspired.

Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky had similar opinions on this effect on a working individual. While he was in prison for expressing negative views against the authorities, he was moved by the misery of prisoners who were tasked to transfer a huge pile of sand all day. He had observed that this group of prisoners was the one who tried to escape thru the electrified barbed-wire fence or committed suicide. The other group of prisoners on the other hand was tasked to build a railroad. They appear to be happier and satisfied, in fact he had heard them singing while at work.

To find passion at work, you must be in the right job where you are given the freedom to become a better and wiser person than you are at the present.
And to find the right job, you must be honest with your feelings and thoughts. You must know the things that matter to you and that will really make you happy and content. Take time to incorporate your thoughts and feelings, your sense of individuality, your weaknesses, strengths, the thing that annoy you, excites you, and what you do effortlessly and naturally. Knowing what you want and having the courage to go for it helps your mind and feelings accomplish your objective.

You must also make sure that the work you have provides your needs. Many people quit their jobs because they feel unappreciated, too busy and drained (signs of poor boundaries), unchallenged, and more. It is important for you to examine your needs as it is similar to having the right nutrients in your diet. Fine-tuning your personal needs with the rewards of work gives you security and contentment. Thus, making you more inspired and motivated.

A work with passion is a work that expresses love. This love is not the romantic love but the love that is conduit to expressing goodwill to others and the community and yet you get paid at the same time. When your work is one that spread the love to others, you feel prouder of yourself. To find passion at work, you can re-examine your roles and how it contributes for greater work. Then, remind yourself of those thoughts every now and then.

Some fears are born from abuses and mistreatment we have received from our parents, teachers, former employers, co-workers and other people. These fears oftentimes restrict us to become completely happy and passionate about our work. A lot of people feel empty because they are guilty of the past. They feel there is no possibility of finding the work they love and thus, they only give half of their hearts to it. Finding your passion at work also means letting go of the monsters of the past. When you liberate yourself from negative thoughts out of unpleasant past experiences, you will become more open to experiences that will transform you to a more mature individual – someone that is willing to accept responsibility of changing her life thru her own hands and cooperate with positive people to achieve mutually desirable goals.

Do you really want to be happy? Everyone says yes, but the gateway to happiness makes some of us frown. The gateway to happiness, is giving to others. Think about this: "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." - The Dalai Lama

There are many herbal remedies available

Vitamin C Is One of The Best Medication To Relieve Stress

There are many potent methods in the field of stress medication. It’s all too easy to feel that you need to reach for the pharmaceutical cupboard when stress hits causing headaches and fatigue. In fact, the better stress relief methods stem from meditation, relaxation and social activities. That said, if you wish to compliment your efforts to reduce stress with a supplement, there is one that does not require you to spend all your money on expensive drugs.

You don’t need a prescription to get your hands on vitamin C. If stress is affecting you adversely, I would advise consulting a doctor. Though, here are some ways to consume the vital body requirements daily. Vitamin C has been proven to be effective at combating stress disorders. It has latent benefits too like preventing colds. It’s also been rumored to help fight cancer.

Vitamin C reduces both the physical and the psychological effects bestowed on people when stress attacks. Those whom consume vitamin C regularly do not exhibit the signs of mental stress so easily when subjected to challenges each day. Additionally, those people find themselves able to recover from any stressful encounter much more quickly than people whom consume very little vitamin C.

How can you be sure of your needed Vitamin C intake as part of your daily medication to relieve stress? Add these to your diet:

1.Uncooked vegetables such as broccoli, sprouts, tomatoes and parsley, spinach.
2.Fresh fruits such as strawberries, bananas, apples.
3.Red and Green peppers.
4.One glass of orange juice with breakfast.
5.Raw fish foods.
6.Almonds and walnuts.
7.Whole wheat.

The other scientific fact on Vitamin C’s effect on stress is related to its effect on hormones. Stress produces a hormone called Cortisol released by our adrenal glands. This sends the stressed effects through the body; since the body and mind are in unison, soon the mind is affected too. The hormone is triggered by a reaction to an event that can cause stress such as a sense of worry or danger.

There are many herbal remedies available that you can ask your doctor about though Vitamin C remains as the best medication to relieve stress. It’s important to recognize the early stages of stress so that you tackle it before it begins to degrade your health. Don’t be susceptible to it, ensure you take care of your body and mind.

I want to share this poem with you...

2011-01-16T10:11:00.000-08:00

I love this poem; I don’t know the author.(If you do pls.tell me.)

One Power, One Power, One Power
One Power, One Power, One Power

There's one power, invisible, and you see it everywhere and everyday
One power, indescribable, and you speak of it with every word you say
Mysterious until you know the truth
As simple as the love inside of you

Call it God, call it spirit, call it Jesus, call it Lord
Call it Budha, Bahaula, angel's wings, or heaven's doors
But whatever name you give it, it's all one power, can't you see?
It's the power of the love, in you and me

One Power, One Power, One Power

We speak so many languages
Different clothing, different colors, different names
But different is only dangerous
When we forget that in the heart we're all the same

We will remember once we close our eyes to see
That such distances were never meant to be

Call it God, call it spirit, call it Jesus, call it Lord
Call it Budha, Bahaula, ashram, or heaven's doors
It's Mohammed, it's your mind, it's your soul, it's your sign
It's the universe, it's music, Mother Earth or Father Time

But whatever name you give it, it's all one power, can't you see?
Whatever name you give it, it's the very air we breathe
It's the power of the love, in you and me

One Power, One Power, it's what we are
One Power, One Power

It's the moment of creation, it's an everlasting peace
It's the freedom of forgiveness, it's the sweetness of release
It's the joy of inspiration, it's the sunshine on your face
It's the birth right of all nations, it's the boundlessness of space

It's the beauty of a baby, the serenity of sleep
It's the anger we abandon, for it's love that's most deep

It's One Power, it's One Power, One Power is what we are
It's the power of the love, that lives forever in you and me
It's the power of the love, in you and me...

Own your light, your gifts, your goodness. Own the love that you are and acknowledge your inherent innocence and worth.

Explaining puzzling or difficult things isn't necessary, my friend…)to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that love is always present, that life is eternal, and that I'm still hanging ten,
whoooo-hoooo'ing, and conspiring on everyone's behalf.

Sending love,- light, beauty and Joy.

You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.

2011-01-11T10:33:00.000-08:00

You can be whatever you make up your mind to be.

What's in your mind is all that counts.
Know What Really Matters and Find Your Passion

What are the things that really matters to you at work? How do you define success at work? Majority of the working people confess to experience a disconnection between having a job and doing what they are really passionate about. Many of these people are experiencing irregular sleeping habits, stress, and left for years wondering what really matters in their life. Since work is not just an eight-hour interruption of the day and you spend most of waking hours on it, it is important to start finding your passion and incorporate it in your job. Whether you like it or not, you are affected by choices you make at your job. How you act at work is often the most documented record of who you are, what you stand for, and what you believe.

For you to feel what really matters it is important that you can clearly determine the how, when, and why of the discovery of finding joy, serenity, and fulfillment in life. Firstly, you must find yourself. Many people already knows what really matters to them but are clouded with daily excuses and conflicting priorities that restricts them from following their lifelong wishes. If you want to find your passion you must let your heart and true calling guide you.

Ask yourself these questions: “What made your greatest work experience so great? What made your worst experience so bad? What is the most important thing missing from your life right now? Who is most important to you? What lesson has served you best throughout your career? What message has been bouncing inside your head for the past year? Who influenced you the most?” (What is Your Life’s Work by Bill Jensen, 60). The answers to these questions are the lessons you learned in your work life. Ponder on them; it will keep you always on track to your passions in life.

You never get back the time you spent to the company. Time is precious and every day you are asked to make thousand of choices that defines who you are. Finding the choices that really matter to you will help you not to waste your precious time in life. So you must choose wisely! Be aware and clear. Know and claim the choices that lead you to your passion.

The things we do at work transforms the way other people view us. Does your work reflect your true personality? Or your everyday choices at work allow you to be true to yourself? If you want to life your life to the fullest, have the courage to be true to your passion and find the job that gives you the opportunity to do it.

Follow your heart and dreams and strive on finding your passion. When you do this, you will experience a transformational leap of knowing yourself and connection to the universe. Each person has a unique final discovery of their passion but it truly determines who you want to be. World-renowned essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson has sum up the things that defines an individual’s success, you might find inspiration thru his words:

Success

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

Love unites us.

Steps towards Your Goal

However hard the road ahead of you seems to be in order for you to get nearer to your passion, you must always be ready to take the necessary steps towards it. Here are some things that you can do in this regard to help you with where you eventually would want to go.

1. You must engage yourself in a self assessment process. You have to think about things. What have you gone through to reach this point in your life? Where are you right now? And what else do you want to happen? How do you perceive yourself two to three years from now? If that is not possible to happen that soon, what do you want to be maybe five or 10 years after?

After you have clearly seen the person that you want to be after the years that you have allotted for you to achieve that, you must look into the steps that you are undertaking to make sure that it will happen. You must review the steps that you are doing to make sure that you will become that person.

You will feel it inside you if you want to accomplish something so bad that you are willing to do anything to get there. This is when you feel like you have no more time for other things that won't help in order to become who you eventually want to be. One sign that you are at this point in your life is when you start reading articles and topics that can help you be more aware about your goals and ways to get there.

2. Your goals must be very clear to you. You know what you want to happen. You know how to get there. Verbalize your thoughts. Is that what you really want to achieve? Your words should match exactly how you feel.

3. You must not be too hard on yourself. You should keep your goals simple. And you must set each step that you will undertake easier to accomplish. This way, you will not easily give up when you are presented with unexpected situations.

Once you have settled your mind in doing the necessary steps for you to reach the goal
that you have set for yourself, just proceed with it. You should not stop no matter what happens. This is something that you have to do in order to be at a happier and more fulfilled state.

After you have taken the steps in finding your passion, you must cherish your actions. You should also take good care of whatever you will eventually achieve to make sure that your hard work is rightly rewarded.

“Therefore, it may be time to embark on some meaningful and mystical journey that is to help shape and redefine your life forever to come.” ~ Bernie Krausse

Dreams are like freedom; they will not be tamed or diminished. If we want to live our dreams,
we often have to go to where dreams live….beyond our comfort zone.

Do you really want to be happy?

2010-12-28T10:46:00.000-08:00

Do you really want to be happy? Everyone says yes, but the gateway to happiness makes some of us frown. The gateway to happiness, is giving to others. Think about this: "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." - The Dalai Lama

Some of us may feel that, if we give too much, our generosity, will be taken advantage of by others. This is true, and a few very selfish individuals can possibly perceive your good intentions as weakness.

However, people who seek to take advantage are in the minority. To quote Gandhi, "We must be the change; we wish to see in the world." Think about it, change has to start somewhere, so why not start with you and me, right now?

Achieving Spiritual Abundance

Spiritual abundance might sound like a phrase that’s hard to decipher. Is it talking about being a very spiritual person, more abundantly spiritual than others? Actually, the ability to tap into your deepest inner self while allowing the universe to provide for your needs is a good definition.

We are all spiritual beings. Whether you’re religious or you do anything spiritual on a day to day basis or not, you have a spiritual side. Some people define their spirituality with a religion, while others believe that our connection to the world around us and nature defines that side of ourselves.

Regardless of how you define it, you can gain a better understanding of your spiritual self and your ability to achieve spiritual abundance by following a few basic steps.

Attracting abundance and attracting prosperity are basically the same thing. And the first step to achieving them is by believing that it’s possible. For some, this is the hardest thing to learn about spiritual abundance because they have been conditioned to believe that it’s so difficult to get anywhere in life.

Positive thinking and positive visualization follow the principle that if you picture something and believe that it’s possible, you can make it happen in your life. It’s necessary to learn to do this when it comes to success, your financial situation and any situation in your life you want to change with spiritual abundance.

If you cannot picture yourself with a large bank account, with bills that are paid, with no debt or less debt, you won’t attract those things to you. But abundance can be yours if you’ll learn to first decide what it is that you want and then decide that it can be yours.

Some people write checks to themselves. Some people use a fake million dollar bill. But they focus on these things, they look at them frequently—sometimes several times a day—and they learn to believe that they will have these things.

The law of abundance basically teaches you to tap into the power of your mind and your beliefs to achieve your dreams. It is positive thinking and positive visualization amplified and focused to an even sharper point. Instead of just feeling positive in general, you’ll use that positive feeling toward a specific thing.

If you want to get out of debt, pay off your car or your house, or afford a vacation, you will need a specific amount of money to do those things. And it may seem like too large an amount of money. You might think that there’s no way you can get that much money for those things any time soon.

Instead you see months, maybe years, of scraping and sacrificing other things in order to be able to afford it. Because you can picture that and you believe it, you ensure it will happen that way.

Shift your thinking instead to see yourself effortlessly coming into the money to enable these things in your life, and you will attract spiritual abundance.
Share everything and you will achieve a legacy of kindness. Share nothing and people will, do their best, to forget you. When my life is over I will only leave memories, in the minds of others, and I want them all to be good ones.

So, how much should you give? It can start with, “heart felt”, kind words, a note, a card, or a flower. You will find that your gifts or donations won’t make you poor. As a result of this, you will see most people, naturally, return kindness to you.

You should also take the time to be polite to all of the people who perform services for you, every day. Many people do not bother to say hello to the maid, janitor, parking attendant, or service clerk.

Once you do, you may even learn their name, and you would be surprised how many of them will go out of their way to give you good service, just by addressing them by their first name.

If you establish sincerity and trust where ever you go, you will be loved by your fellow man.
It is really that simple. As Mohammed said, "A person's true wealth is the good he or she does in the world."

Interpersonal attraction is very simply what causes friendships and relationships.

2010-12-23T07:34:00.000-08:00

Interpersonal attraction is very simply what causes friendships and relationships. It’s a major point of psychological study. And there’s really not much hard data on why one person might be attracted to another person and not attracted or even repulsed by someone else. Interpersonal attraction, despite all the studies, is really somewhat a mystery.

There are certain principles at work, of course. It’s believed that people are attracted to people of approximately the same level of physical attractiveness. And that people of the same social background and similar economic situations will experience the interpersonal attraction that draws them together.

But also that in some cases, people who are very different in other aspects are more likely to be attracted to each other and happy together that two people very much alike in terms of things like dominance and personality.

Interpersonal attraction is an area that you have more control over that you think. You may not necessarily be able concentrate and attract a specific person, but you can use certain concepts to attract a certain type of person into your life.

The universal law of attraction tells us that like attracts like. Magnetic attraction will draw certain things to you based on what you believe. And conscious creation of your own reality can affect all these things as well. You must first decide what you want in a person, then believe that a person meeting those criteria exists and can come into your life.

This belief in what you want and its availability to you will help a person with the qualities that you want come into your life. Interpersonal attraction, the attraction of a person that complements us and would make a great friend or partner, is as affected by things like belief and thought as other things like how happy we are, the kinds of situations we attract, and our financial situations.

If you can decide that you can have prosperity and therefore you attract it, you can decide that you can have a positive person around you as your friend or your partner and then attract that person.

Your positive belief that you can get what you want automatically surrounds you in an aura of positivity. This alone will affect those you attract by putting out a signal for other positive people. If people tend to gravitate toward those who complement their personalities, then your positive aura will attract other positive people.

Your openness to financial prosperity and good fortune will also work in your favor by attracting people into your life who hold the same beliefs and openness. The power of positive thought can do amazing things in every aspect of your life, not just in your job, your financial situation and your level of happiness, but also in the type of person you attract.

Since attraction must be mutual for it to work, believing certain positive and good things about yourself can help interpersonal attraction work for you in bringing the right people into your life.

Mentally Better: Your Brain should Get Exercise Too

2010-12-15T01:59:00.000-08:00

Common in our society today are the brain exercises designed to give our mental faculties the boost they need. There are games, activities and all other cranial calisthenics that claim to be helpful in maintaining our brains functioning superbly. You should know that these things are not just for those who have mental problems, these activities and exercises are also good for everyone – everyone who seeks to keep your minds healthy; to better your brains. From senior citizens to the younger generations, these activities should be helpful enough to keep them all mentally fit.

Although some scientists may not fully believe in the benefits of brain exercises, a lot of researchers and professionals hold on to the numerous studies showing that the brain really does need an exercise just like the body does. Studies have showed that people who have tried to perform brain exercises regularly have improved memory as well as focus. See, with simple brain exercises the functioning of both hemispheres of the brain are made better; your brain becomes healthier.

Cross Crawls

Cross crawls is a type of exercise that is based on the principle that our nervous system works homolaterally. This means that the left portion of our brain controls the movement of the right portion of our body, and so on for the other half. The principles of kinesiology are also applied in this exercise wherein rhythmic movements are suggested so that the brain’s lateralization can be improved further. You can do this simply by touching your right hand or elbow to your left knee. Do this for several times, and after one side, you may proceed with the other side, doing the same steps.

This exercise, when performed by babies, are believed to realign the brain circuits in order for the left half of the brain to be able to connect with the left part of the body, and vice versa. For the adults, on the other hand, when this exercise is done there is an integration of the different functions and tasks of the brain. This is the reason why this exercise is mostly recommended for people suffering from dyslexia. Aside from this, this exercise is also good for strengthening your immune system’s responses.

Lazy Eights

Another exercise which can benefit both the left and right hemispheres of the brain is the “lazy eights.” This is done by drawing the number “8” on a piece of paper using your right hand for two minutes. After the right hand, you may proceed to draw the same sign using your left hand. This should be done daily, and the result is that you will have better concentration and your hand-and-eye coordination will improve. Aside from these, another benefit is that you would feel a reduction of stress and an enhancement of your mood.

You may also do the “Rhythmic Eights” wherein instead of using paper and pencil, you can just create an imaginary eight in the air with your hands. This should be sufficient to coordinate the two sides of your brain as well.

Try Different Exercises for A Change

Since there are already a lot of exercises designed to improve your mental functioning, it would be a better idea if you would alter your exercises so that your brain will not get used to just one routine. By varying your brain work out, you are also able to exercise as many parts of your brain as possible. There are puzzles, crosswords and other brain games available; you just have to look for those which best fits you. Exercise your brain, better your brain’s performance. Have fun...)

Joy through good health!

2010-12-14T10:47:00.001-08:00

There is nothing more important to your happiness
factor than taking proper care of your body.

There is nothing better than a good night’s sleep to
make you feel better. Well, maybe a perfect diet,
proportioned in fat, carbohydrates, proteins and
calories. Oh, I almost forgot the benefit of a good
exercise program will do wonders for your health and
well-being.

Taking care of your health is an integral part of
taking care of your mental well-being. It’s hard to
feel happy if you don’t get proper nutrition, sleep or
exercise, no matter how hard you try to keep a
positive attitude. If you don’t feel rested or fueled,
happiness is going to be just beyond your reach.

Take time to get the rest you need. Go to bed earlier
than usual, but don’t disturb your natural rhythm too
much. Eat smaller meals, but more frequently, to keep
your blood sugar levels regular. Eat fresh foods; lots
of fresh fruit and vegetables will help keep your
energy levels up, and make sure to include some
proteins for long-term energy.

Exercise tells your brain to release "happy hormones",
called endorphins. Regular exercise that makes you
breathe just a little bit hard helps you to burn fat
and to get the added benefit of the endorphins that
give you a burst of energy and a sense of well-being.

Take control of your own body as a way of making
yourself happier. By making better food choices,
getting plenty of quality rest and getting more
exercise is a sure-fire way of increasing you "happy
factor".

I sing about the promise I made that I shall keep this smile…))

I wish You A wonderful Day.

Always use your mind – think and rethink

The Healthier the Better: Your Brain’s Health Improvement

They say that aging is one of the causes that lead to the weakening of your brain’s performance. As you grow older, your memory becomes out of form, this is why there are illnesses such as the unfortunate Alzheimer’s disease. Fortunately, there are already known ways that can help you better your brain performance, thus giving you the protection from the dreaded brain deterioration.

One good prevention is the inclusion of colorful fruits and vegetables to your diet. The brighter the color of the fruit or vegetable, the healthier and fresher it is – thus, the better. As you may know, healthy foods help the body get rid of unhealthy toxins because these foods have antioxidants. If you follow this kind of diet, then you may have a 70% lower chance of suffering from dementia when you get older.

Vitamins, especially vitamin B can also help maintain the fitness of your brain. If you lack vitamin B, you are more prone to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and many other diseases. So, you may want to include vitamin supplements in your everyday meal. If you do not feel like you need supplements, then you may want to cut down on your alcohol and cigarette consumption for these substances, together with coffee and sugar, can use up your body’s stock of vitamin B. Aside from this, you should also try eating more beans and green veggies; these are rich in vitamin B.

You should stay away from bad fats that come from junk foods. Your brain may be made up of fats, but this does not mean that it should come from the fats from hot dogs. Instead of munching on unhealthy foods, enjoy good fats such as fish and nuts and all those foods which are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. If you do this, you will have a higher chance of keeping your brain in its best shape.

Stress is another thing that you should avoid if you want a healthy brain. Hence, you should protect yourself from being too stressed out and from being overwhelmed by all the drama that may come your way. Release your tension, relax and meditate so that you can give your body and your mind the time they need to recharge. Also, take enough rest and sleep. Six to eight hours of sleep is highly suggested to keep your mind in its prime. After a good rest, you should engage yourself in healthy activities, such as exercising and working out. This will keep your body active and alert.

Finally, if you are exercising your body, you should exercise your brain as well. Always use your mind – think and rethink. Keep your brain muscles active by reading, doing puzzles, answering crosswords and socializing with other people. There are a lot of activities that are designed to keep you thinking. Any type of activity from which you can learn is worth trying. Do not be afraid to explore, active learning is the key to your mind’s actual exercise.

As you know, the healthier you are the better; your brain should also feel the same way. If you are doing all your best to keep yourself physically fit, you should also keep yourself mentally fit. Fight all the factors that may cause the weakening of your brain performance.

The first step in creating your own reality is through your beliefs.

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world.

2010-11-26T03:44:00.000-08:00

I will share something I read (for many years ago)with You today;

Take care of yourself, my love.

"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Either we have hope within us or we don`t. It is a dimension of the soul, and it is not essentially dependant on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation. Hope is not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart. It transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons...

Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy, - that things are going well,- or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good, not because it stands a chance to succeed. The more propitious the situation in which we demonstrate hope, the deeper the hope is.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but certainly that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out."

Vaclav Havel

Take one Step at a Time

2010-11-10T06:52:00.000-08:00

Take One Step at a Time,

To make sure that you will get to your goal no matter how long it takes, you should take the necessary steps to get there. The first thing that you have to fully understand is where you are going to. You have to define that goal. What do you really want to achieve? At this point, you must answer truthfully. You cannot aim to be a gold medallist in swimming when you don’t even know how to swim.

To help you in setting your goals, it will be best if you fully understand your strengths and weaknesses. You should comprehend all your limitations. You must not be too hard on yourself by wanting something that you don’t have the capacity to attain.

After you have defined your goals, it will be easier to plan how you are going to get there. But before you get serious with that, you have to analyze your current situation. Are you happy with where you are? Because if you are, maybe you should rethink why would you still want to go on a different path?

On the other hand, if you feel like you are stuck on your current job and the circumstances where you are at, then you no longer have to think about what you should do. This is a very good sign that you have to move on. You have to get out of your current situation before it gets too late. Sometimes, people become too comfortable being in the zone where they are not required to excel. That should not be the case. This only means that you are no longer allowing yourself to grow.

And when that happens, you may lose track of the goals that you have set to achieve.

When you have reached the point that you have forgotten about what you really want to attain, you must check on your old self. Go back to the point when you were still not where you are right now. Who are you back then? What did you dream of becoming and achieving at that point in your life? What were the things that made you happy and made you feel inspired? After realizing what you have missed, you must then think about what went wrong and what happened which caused for you to take a different route, farther than where you really would want to be.

Expand Your Horizon

No matter how young or how old you are, you still have chances to correct your mistakes. You still can take action in finding your passion. You can always go back to the point when you have chosen to turn right when you were supposed to turn left. Go back at that point in your life. And this time, make sure that you will take the direction to the left with a more positive attitude that this is really where you want to be.

Vital Tips in Finding Your Passion

Some people take a lifetime in realizing what they really want to do and where they want to take their journey. It will be best if you will know the essentials in finding your passion while you are still young. This way, you will have lots of time to fulfilled whatever you want to achieve and enjoy its effects and benefits as well.

It is not that easy to know what you really want to do for the rest of your life. There are people who end up pursuing a very unlikely route while giving in to what they really want to achieve whenever they have time for it. The reason for such varies. For some, they want to pursue their passion only after they have gone through several failures.

To help you in this regard, here are some tips that you can follow.

1. You should look at things around you. Determine what or who inspire you to achieve whatever goals that you have in mind. They can be your loved ones or a specific person that encourages you to be better. These can also be things. What are the objects that create some sparks and enhance you to move forward? Use these objects and people in order to find out for yourself what you really want to happen. You can list down the things and people or places that may come to your mind when you are thinking about this so that you will keep track of what really matters to you.

2. Think about happy thoughts. Reminisce about the times when you were most happy in your life. What brought about such happiness? What made you happy? And while you are at it, you should also think about when was the last time when you experienced such moment. If it has already been a long time, what do you think caused such state?

3. You have to go back to the things that ignited your passion in the past. Read your favorite book. This may be a great time to find console digging through self-help books. This is especially true if you cannot talk to anyone close to you regarding the matter in ways that you hope to be understood.

4. If you are stuck in a job that you detest and your only reason why you are doing that is for money, then you will have a harder time in getting to know where your real passion lies. You may want to look back at the point before you entered this job. What were you back then or what were you thinking to achieve at that point? If you have already saved enough, you may want to consider quitting your current job. This way, you can allot more time in pursuing the things that you really want before it is already too late.

5. You have to be open to whatever possibilities life may bring. You need to expect more than what you already have for you to acquire such and reach a level beyond your comfort zone. This can be done by being bold enough to take a risk at a time. It doesn't matter how small or how big it is. Once you start following your heart and mind to reach to the point where you think you will be happy and satisfied, you are on the right track. And finding your passion will be easier in the long run.

How To Age Gracefully

2010-11-05T12:31:00.000-07:00

The truth is we are completely abundant and are able
to create whatever we desire.

How To Age Gracefully

The search for the fountain of youth has been a quest for many years. Consumers pay millions of dollars every year in hopes of finding the magic solution or remedy to aging. Some people resort to surgery to remain having a youthful appearance. Instead of spending money on the painful and expensive surgery, you can age gracefully with some attention to the needs of your body so you can age naturally and beautifully.

Start using sunblock with SPF everyday to prevent sun damage and skin peeling. Use formulated sunblock for your face that allows you to apply makeup over the lotion.

Moisturize your skin on daily. The benefits of moisturizers help to hydrate the skin, replenish the skin cells, reduce wrinkles, and create softer skin. There are quality moisturizers on the market that work effectively without the high price associated with many moisturizers.

Exercise regularly to improve your health. Base your exercise regimen on your health conditions as you may have limitations. Use stretching exercises if you have difficulties with other forms of exercise. Use yoga and Pilates to increase your joint pliability.

Add meditation, yoga, or another stress relieving exercise to your life. When you learn to relax and reduce the stress in your life, you remove the risks of heart disease and stroke. This increases your chances of living longer.

Add walking to your exercise program. Walk for thirty minutes four times a week. Buy walking shoes for proper support of your feet and back to lessen the risks of damages and possible injuries...))

Eat a balance low fat low calorie diet filled with nutrients and antioxidants to help your body keep the youthful skin and buoyancy. Eat foods that contain acai and dark green leafy vegetables that aid the body’s natural ability to age gracefully while they help to build your immunity.

Limit your intake of fats and sugars with your foods and beverages. Drink water to keep your body hydrated. Eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day is the medical recommendation for optimal water intake. Reduce your consumption of coffee with added creams and sugar, sodas, teas with the sugars, and other drinks high in sugar contents.

Visit your physician for a regular checkup. Have your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugars checked. You doctor will have blood work done to monitor the level of your health and to help prevent any possible medical conditions. Discuss with your doctor any health issues you may be experiencing so they can be treated.
Empty your mind...Flow. When the heart is open enough to appreciate the limitless colours that life offers...life becomes effortless and becomes a Joyful journey.

Living to earn is very different from earning a living.

2010-10-27T09:55:00.000-07:00

Finding Your Passion and Earning in the Process

Do you know that you can actually earn from the results of your hard work in finding your passion? And that is not the only goal that you will likely get in the process. If you feel like you are stuck in your current job, you have to rethink your life and where you are taking it. You are the driver of your own vehicle and you decide where you will go. But you are only human so you must be open for mistakes and other challenges that life may bring along your journey.

Living to earn is very different from earning a living. With the latter, you can be more adventurous. Life can be more fun, especially when you are pursuing the things that you really like and earning money in the process. This is the reason why people who have chosen an unlikely route just so they can earn good amount of cash will likely feel the downside of their decision at some point on their lives.

Comfort Zone

Are you at a place where you feel like you are already too comfortable? This is not really a good thing. If you have been working the same job, which was not what you really wanted to do deep in your heart, through time, you will be able to master the craft. You will know how to work your way through the job where you won't get into any trouble. You will get your job done, you will be paid, then you will have to work over and over again the same tasks every day. This set up may be giving you enough money to live by. But are your living the life that you really wanted to attain? If not, then maybe it is time to get out of your comfort zone.

You have to take risks in order to know your capabilities. You must not be afraid to fail because that is part of the whole ballgame. You just have to learn from your own mistakes.

Earning from Your Passion

If you really love what you are doing, you will eventually excel on it. You can even pursue your passion as a side project aside from your real job. This is ideal for people who are afraid to lose their main source of income. Your passion can actually bring in more cash if you will be able to utilize them well to your advantage. For example, you are good in writing or painting. You only have to use your talents, hone them and soon enough, you will surprise everyone that your passion has led you to more profitable source of income.

If you will open yourself to these kinds of possibilities, there will come a time when you can comfortably choose your passion and drop the job that you don't really like and earn as much as well. This is a very ideal situation because when you love what you are doing, it will show in the quality of work that you are producing. It will also reflect on how you live your life and your attitude towards anything that you may encounter as you go through it.

But setting the right goals and finding your passion may not be as easy as it seems to be. You really have to think hard about it so that you can be led to the right course.

Since attraction must be mutual for it to work, believing certain positive and good things about yourself can help interpersonal attraction work for you in bringing the right people into your life.

Personal mastery is about loving yourself and expressing your gifts to its fullest.

2010-10-13T07:20:00.000-07:00

What Is Personal Mastery?

Personal mastery is about approaching life from a different perspective. Sometimes people would refer to it as a journey towards continuous improvement. Personal mastery is guided with key principles like vision, personal purpose, creative tension, commitment to truth and understanding the subconscious mind.

One of the most important fundamental aspects of personal mastery is personal vision. Personal mastery when combined personal vision can create a framework or guiding philosophy on how you can operate and live your life. Some people would say that personal vision serves as a guide that would keep you on track.

Followers of personal mastery see that there are great opportunities to improve their growth. Followers recognize that there are many avenues for growth and opportunities like books, tapes, lectures and school courses. People also benefit from organizations
in their quest for personal mastery.

Personal mastery is about loving yourself and expressing your gifts to its fullest. Some would think that personal mastery is controlling and limiting one self, but actually it is about understanding your personality. To control or overcome some habits, it would be important to identify how ad why those habits arise. The more you suppress things, the more you would have difficulty in conquering and overcoming it.

Personal mastery is self-discipline. It is about taking responsibility for the direction that your life is going to take. You would slowly realize that you can do anything with the aide of your skills and talents. Discipline would clarify and deepen your perspective in life. Those who quest for personal mastery would develop patience and see life objectively.

Personal mastery can actually help you become successful in life. You can say that you have developed personal mastery if you are starting to fully understand your strengths, talents and your purpose in life. Personal mastery enables you to be inspired, energized and happy with your life. You start to show a sense of commitment in changing on how people perceive life and the world. The ultimate thing about personal mastery is that you would always feel that you are guided and supported by God.

It is also important for a person who is in quest for personal mastery to develop integrity, humility, justice and industry. Actually, these are “rules” on how we could conduct ourselves professional, socially and spiritually.

Peter Senge said that attaining personal mastery has no shortcuts or no “quick fixes.” Sometimes it would take a lifetime for personal mastery to be attained. Personal mastery detaches a person from self-interest or selfishness and encourage people towards providing care and service to other people. Also individuals who follow personal mastery see the connections in their surroundings and perceived everything as a whole.

Proactive behaviour is also something that personal mastery helps you to develop. Reactive behaviour like thinking beforehand hand that you cannot do things is dealt with when developing personal mastery. Actions and service that you provide are based on how you can creatively maximize your skills.

To summarize it, personal mastery guides you to develop being aware with your beliefs, attitudes and behaviour impacts. It also enables you to accept yourself and be responsible with your own action, attitude, and thought.

Experts would say that personal mastery could be truly gained by living purposefully and by living with integrity. Living purposefully would include showing talents, gifts and strengths to achieve goals and be successful. Living with integrity is by integrating your ideals, standards and behaviour.

Sending love and light, beauty and Joy…

How To Age Gracefully

The search for the fountain of youth has been a quest for many years. Consumers pay millions of dollars every year in hopes of finding the magic solution or remedy to aging. Some people resort to surgery to remain having a youthful appearance. Instead of spending money on the painful and expensive surgery, you can age gracefully with some attention to the needs of your body so you can age naturally and beautifully.

Start using sunblock with SPF everyday to prevent sun damage and skin peeling. Use formulated sunblock for your face that allows you to apply makeup over the lotion.

Moisturize your skin on daily. The benefits of moisturizers help to hydrate the skin, replenish the skin cells, reduce wrinkles, and create softer skin. There are quality moisturizers on the market that work effectively without the high price associated with many moisturizers.

Exercise regularly to improve your health. Base your exercise regimen on your health conditions as you may have limitations. Use stretching exercises if you have difficulties with other forms of exercise. Use yoga and Pilates to increase your joint pliability.

Add meditation, Sheng Zheng Qigong, yoga, (Amazing) or another stress relieving exercise to your life. When you learn to relax and reduce the stress in your life, you remove the risks of heart disease and stroke. This increases your chances of living longer.

Add walking to your exercise program. Walk for thirty minutes four times a week. Buy walking shoes for proper support of your feet and back to lessen the risks of damages and possible injuries.

Eat a balance low fat low calorie diet filled with nutrients and antioxidants to help your body keep the youthful skin and buoyancy. Eat foods that contain acai and dark green leafy vegetables that aid the body’s natural ability to age gracefully while they help to build your immunity.

Limit your intake of fats and sugars with your foods and beverages. Drink water to keep your body hydrated. Eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day is the medical recommendation for optimal water intake. Reduce your consumption of coffee with added creams and sugar, sodas, teas with the sugars, and other drinks high in sugar contents.

Add a multi-vitamin and supplement to your daily regimen. As you age, your body needs different levels of essential vitamins and minerals. The age appropriate vitamins and supplements will help you have the right amounts daily so you can age gracefully with your healthy body and immune system.

Visit you’re your doctor for a regular checkup. Have your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugars checked. You doctor will have blood work done to monitor the level of your health and to help prevent any possible medical conditions. Discuss with your doctor any health issues you may be experiencing so they can be treated.

Apple Cider Vinegar - Healing Home Remedies

Many of the healing home remedies that have been used by people for generations and even going back thousands of years has involved vinegar. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates (from whom the Hippocratic Oath came) used to prescribe it for persistent coughs. He was also understood to have used it and prescribed it mixed with honey for energy and general well being. Ever since then it has been used to treat many ailments and considered and seen as part of many healing home remedies.

Apple cider vinegar has been used to treat such things as acne, asthma, helping control blood pressure, reducing cholesterol. There are many other uses that could be found as well. Many of them revolve around making an apple cider vinegar tonic which is adding 2 or 3 teaspoons to 8 ounces of water but there are also many other ways that it is used as well.

One of the healing home remedies for helping reduce acne blemishes is apple cider vinegar. Taking a solution of vinegar to water, much like what is used in the tonic, apply to your face a couple times a day using a cotton ball. This will not only help cut down infection, but it will help dry out inflammation.

One of the ways that apple cider vinegar is considered one of the better healing home remedies is in helping to treat asthma. There are people who have, with success, drank the tonic and applied a compress soaked with vinegar to the inside wrists.

To help control blood pressure apple cider vinegar is being used as one of the good healing home remedies. A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of honey in a glass of water a couple times a day will help lower blood pressure. Both apple cider vinegar and honey have high potassium levels which helps balance sodium levels in the body. The vinegar also has magnesium which helps relax blood vessel walls which also helps lower the pressure.

Another way that it is used is reducing cholesterol. It has a water soluble pectin in it that helps absorb cholesterol and fat and helps eliminate it from the body. The amino acids in it helps cut down and neutralize LDL cholesterol. Cutting down on the bad fats, increasing the amount of fiber you take in and using the vinegar tonic will help significantly drop your cholesterol levels.

In no way should any of this be used instead of what your doctor may prescribe for your ailments but there is little doubt that these healing home remedies using apple cider vinegar will help other treatments you have give you better overall health.

As Always the best 4 You.

Nice to be back...)
I have been on a very beautiful journey. I will show you some picture later. The more pleasure and creativity there is in your life the more powerful and free you feel. Conscious CreationCreate Your Own Fantastic Reality

Conscious creation is the act of making conscious effort to create the life you want. It does go deeper than just changing your life, however. Conscious creation actually refers the very act of creating your own reality.

One of the tenets of conscious creation is that we each have a separate reality that other people cannot know or really understand. And that each of us has the ability to create that reality into anything we want it to be.

Every day when we get out of bed, we set into motion the creation of a certain reality, good or bad. And through conscious, also sometimes called deliberate, creation, we can shift that reality in either a better or worse direction.

At the roof of this belief system is the idea of channeling. This can be interpreted two ways. Some use it to mean channeling your own deep-seated ideas and desires, while others see it as channeling other spirits or entities that have some sort of knowledge to impart. Many use it to mean both types of channeling.

Also at the heart of this conscious way of living is the belief that we all create our own reality, even though we don’t realize it. So that when something bad happens to you, it was actually your choice to have that thing happen.

If you are born into poverty for instance, many hardcore believers in conscious creation will tell you that you made those choices, even before you were physically born onto the earth, to experience poverty.

If you suffer serious illness, believers will tell you that you have brought that into your life through choice, whether you know it or not. But that by gaining control of your reality, you can change things and bring what you want into your life, whether it’s health, prosperity or overall happiness.

Through the act of deliberate creation, you start each day with a goal. Rather than the goals you might wake up to now like getting the kids to school on time or completing a project at work, you look at the bigger picture. Those will still be part of your goals of course, your daily life must continue. But you will choose different goals that will help define your reality.

The first step in creating your own reality is through your beliefs. Let’s say that right now you believe that most people are selfish and only out to get what they can for themselves without regards to other people. Your belief is creating that reality in your life, so most people in your life will be just this way.

If you shift your belief to one that says that most people are good at heart and want to do the right thing, most people in your life will fit that description. If you believe that you will never get out of debt, you probably never will. But if you wake up each day using conscious creation to believe you will get out of debt, you can make it happen.

Develop Your Prosperity Consciousness Change Your Life

Prosperity consciousness is a way of thinking that gives you more power over what you have in your life. It’s a concept made popular by New Age thinking, but a principle that’s been around for a very long time. Developing your prosperity consciousness requires a few key things that once you truly understand, can change your life.

To understand the concept, you need to understand the basics of the law of attraction. This universal law basically states that like attracts like. Think of old adages like “you reap what you sow,” and “birds of a feather flock together.” These all express the law of attraction in a familiar way.

If you make bad financial decision after bad financial decision, you will lose money and have financial problems. Making those bad financial decisions is a result of not thinking about money properly and in the necessary way to attract more money to you. Developing a prosperity consciousness will help you view money differently, and end up with more of it.

You have to realize that prosperity isn’t based on chance or luck. This is the first step. Because if it’s just luck or random chance, then you wouldn’t be able to control it--but you can. And it’s also necessary to realize that there is enough for everyone. There should be no guilt associated with having prosperity because no one has to go without for you to have what you want.

One of the tenets of prosperity consciousness and the law of attraction is that the universe creates everything in abundance. And that you can have what you want if you only believe that it’s possible and focus on that belief.

Once you decide that money and prosperity aren’t things you achieve through luck or taking away from others, you decide that they’re things you can have guilt-free. That belief will steer you away from bad decisions automatically because you won’t feel like you have to scramble to get your share before someone else takes it.

There’s no need to fight for it or compete for it since there’s enough for everyone. You really need to focus on that thought and make sure you believe it to develop a prosperity consciousness that will let things flow into your life.

Once you believe it, then you only have to welcome prosperity. Whether you pray or affirm or ask the universe at large for the things you want, you must put out the invitation for those things to come into your life. By doing so, you create an aura around yourself of openness and acceptance to the abundance and prosperity that you say you want.

The principle is like magnetic attraction. You want to attract certain positive things, so you surround yourself with positivity because like attracts like. If you doubt that you can achieve something, you attract more doubt.

But if you believe something can be yours through the development of prosperity consciousness then you can draw that very thing to yourself.

The Lighter your thoughts are, the more clarity of vision you have. Never forget; We are Spiritual beings.
In our purest, untainted form, we are Love – limitless – luminous and unconditional.

Life is very much a study of attention. Whatever you dwell upon and think about grows and expands in your life.

Love and Courage

Perhaps these two concepts (love and courage) are the most important of philosophy as they capture the essense of life, in terms of its fundamental purpose and the sustained and vigorous effort necessary for achieving this purpose. I invite you to take this article as an opportunity to reflect on these concepts. And may you embrace them body and soul towards a greater life!

To many work is not a gratifying opportunity to do good, but a necessary evil they would gladly forgo if they won or inherited a fortune. It is just a livelihood, a vital drudgery. Its meaning is the pay check and the value it has in terms of service to their community is indifferent or very subordinate.

Their calculating and uncaring attitude is recognizable. Whereas people who heartily act in the interest of others are gracious, they are perfunctory. At best, in establishments that demand courtesy from employees, their behaviour is irreproachable, albeit artificial. “Can I be of assistance? Here you are. Will there be anything else? You’re welcome” – no genuine attempt at pleasing, just a vapid exercise in politeness and efficiency that follows a procedure and arouses a feeling of satisfied indifference as would a serving of plain noodles. They do the minimum that is required of them, to maintain their employment, and gladly do nothing provided they get paid all the same. They never miss a break. Come the end of their working day, they rush out before the first second of the next hour has passed. They live for their time off and dream of a permanent vacation, as though leisure were the essence of happiness.

What about the dignity of making oneself useful, which is the antipode of this levity? What about love – I mean the desire to live usefully in the service of others? This desire builds on gratefulness, with a view to worthiness. I start from the assumption that love is a characteristic of people who appreciate living in society, thanks to a combination of positive attitude and relatively favourable social environment. To sum up, the more they love life, in company with others who take part in their life, the more they love others.

Now, feeling this love is one thing, acting upon it is quite another, which needs courage. Actually, a lack of courage would not only render this love inactive but also tend to destroy it in order to avoid shame. The mind is a double-edged thinking tool that can cut its way in and out of truth by means of veracious statements or specious arguments. Love may be denied despite every reason for loving. Therefore, courage is a rich trait of character without which love is unable to flourish, neither as an emotion nor as an action. Of course, where laziness and cowardliness have rotted or stunted love, dignity – which stems from the act of loving – is but a potential bloom. May courage be cultivated! I hate to think that the soul has such a capacity for beauty and yet can remain undeveloped, morally retarded, as ugly as a shrivelled growth that an earnest gardener could have transformed into a heavenly rose.

On reflection, courage should be valued above all other virtues, since it constitutes the necessary condition for developing them. It is not a sufficient condition, however. It is capable of nothing by itself while everything depends on it. Courage is the force that can raise life to joy and joy to love and love to dignity, insofar as the human nature aspires to these difficult heights, though it is always tempted to go for the easy and low option. This nature is indeed dual. People are forever torn between their lofty aspirations and their base temptations. Their choice to honour these aspirations or surrender to these temptations determines their moral status, admirable or pitiable.

Free Yourself by Seeing Yourself:

9 Ways to Heal the Hidden Hurting in You

No one can be free who refuses to see what actually lives within him.
This is why Real self-healing begins with Truthful self-seeing. There is no other order, no other way. Consciousness of any unwanted condition in us must precede its correction, just as the rising sun dismisses the fear hiding in the darkness of night. This is why we must learn that anything in us that does not want us to see the truth about our actual unenlightened condition is itself a part of what is punishing us. We can learn to do much better!

“The medicine is bitter, but it heals,” said the late great author; Vernon Howard, when it comes to seeing the truth of our lives. If we would heal the hidden hurt in us then we must learn that the initial bitterness of self-truthfulness is the front-runner of our ultimate spiritual betterment. Our work is to concede to the bright prescription of Higher Self-Honesty regardless of how it “tastes” to us in those moments when we see ourselves as we are.

Here now are nine eye-opening facts about areas in our lives where we have chosen not to see what must be seen... If we would be Free. Choose in favour of your freedom. Choose to see!

1. We close our eyes to the fact that the imaginary value we have placed upon our life only holds up for as long as others don’t disturb our dreams.

2. We close our eyes to the fact that wherever we go, and regardless of whom we meet, we still seem to run into the same conflicts and experience the same negativities.

3. We close our eyes to the fact that what we call being sorry for our bad behaviour really just means that we don’t want to be bothered anymore by those who have been troubled by our unpleasant manifestations.

4. We close our eyes to the fact we blame others for what we call their selfish insistence that we serve their interests when the real pain in such moments is but our own resentment over our cowardly inability to just say “No.”

5. We close our eyes to the fact that in spite of all of the pain it causes us, and others, we still believe that we know what it means to be a “winner” in life.

6. We close our eyes to the fact that just because we have mastered hiding some character fault of ours doesn’t mean that it has stopped hurting those around us who cannot avoid being subjected to it.

7. We close our eyes to the fact that we would rather have the company of known liars and betrayers than have to go through our life by ourselves.

8. We close our eyes to the fact that we will only inconvenience ourselves (especially when it comes to answering the need of others) as a means of avoiding what we see as being a greater pain: their complaints!

9. We close our eyes to the fact that crying for ourselves out of self-pity doesn’t change one thing about the nature of the self that is the secret source of all these tears.

For extra swift healing study these friendly guides with the intention of welcoming their light. Remember that our work is to see ourselves through the eyes of Truth and then leave Truth to take care of the rest.

Sending love and light, beauty and Joy...

Vital Tips in Finding Your Passion

Exercise. Take a walk on the beach…listen to the music from
the wave, relax. Listen to the birds, they are singing for you. Breath…smile.
Send all those endorphins coursing through your veins. Exercising certainly clears and relaxes your mind and allows for anything to pop up.

Record your dreams. Aren't some of them just the craziest things that your conscious mind would never have thought of? If you've had these dreams before, and I'm sure have, this only shows you the untapped innovative power you have lying within. So jot down those notes. Those dreams may just create an innovative spark in you.

Find your own style. You can always tell a Van Gogh from a Matisse. You'll know Hemingway wrote something by the choice of words on the paper. So it is the same with you. People will appreciate your innovation more because it is uniquely yours and that no one else would have thought of what you were thinking. That will let people see how valuable an asset you are.

Don't hide behind nifty gadgets or tools. You don't need the most expensive set of paints to produce a masterpiece. The same way with writing. You don't need some expensive fountain pen and really smooth paper for a bestseller. In fact, J.K. Rowling wrote the first book of the Harry Potter Series on bits of tissue. So what if you've got an expensive SLR camera if you're a crappy photographer? Who cares if you've got a blinking laptop if you can't write at all? The artist actually reduces the number of tools he has as he gets better at his craft: he knows what works and what doesn't.

Nothing will work without passion.

What wakes you up in the mornings? What keeps the flame burning? What is the one thing that you'll die if you don't do? Sometimes people with talent are overtaken by the people who want it more. Think the hare and the tortoise. Ellen Degeneres once said that if you're not doing something that you want to do, then you don't really want to do it. And that's true. Sometimes you just want something so bad you become a virtual unstoppable. And that is passion. Passion will keep you going.

Don't worry about inspiration. You can't force it; inspiration hits when you least expect it to, for those unpredictable yet inevitable moments you should prepare. An idea could strike you on the subway, yet alas, you poor unfortunate soul; you have no sheet of paper to scribble down a thought that could change the world. Avoid these disasters. Have a pen and paper within your arm's reach at all times.

Keep in mind that you're doing these things for your own satisfaction and not anybody else's. But soon enough they will notice, and everything should snowball from there.

Affiliate Marketing Survival Tips

2010-08-22T22:59:00.000-07:00

Affiliate Marketing Survival Tips

Once you've signed up for what appears to be a
great affiliate program, you've already developed
your strategy, selected your banners, and other
materials for marketing.

Once you've figured everything out, you may still
have problems developing marketing strategies and
find yourself wondering what's wrong. Below,
you'll find some of the most common issues that
affect sales commissions and leads.

Soggy cookies
A lot of merchants use cookies for tracking your
referrals. As a majority of customers don't
purchase on the first visit, cookies allow for
potential referrals to be tagged with your ID so
that if they do purchase later, you'll get the
credit for the sale.

The durations for the cookies will vary from
merchant to merchant. Some last as short as a
single session, while others can last for years.
If the visitor flushes their cookies on a regular
basis, has cookie blocking software, or the
program from the merchant isn't operating correctly,
there really isn't anything you can do.

Multiple methods of payment
If you've joined an affiliate program through a
network that processes payments of products on
behalf of merchants, it's not uncommon for merchants
to offer several methods of payment. While this
is great for customers, it's bad for affiliates.

Before you begin to advertise any products or
services as an affiliate of a network, always
check the merchant site carefully. If you have
any doubt, contact the merchant before you proceed
any further.

Monitoring your arrangements
Even the most honest of merchants will have
problems with their affiliate software at some
point in time. Therefore, it's important to
regularly check cookies and merchant sites for
any changes that may affect your pay.

Here are some excellent affiliate program 4 you.

What Is the Definition of Marketing

2010-08-10T10:18:00.000-07:00

What Is the Definition of Marketing

If you asked many people for the definition of marketing, you’d get many wrong answers. At the very least, some would be right or be on the right track, but still give an answer that’s incomplete. Many people would answer that marketing was advertising or promotion when actually that’s only part of the answer. Marketing is everything you do to get your product or service noticed by the customer, and that include advertising and promotion.

If you learn the definition of marketing from a textbook, it’s even more involved and detailed. Marketing is broken down into what’s known as the 4 P’s. These make up the “marketing mix” as it was defined by Harvard business professor in the 1960s. Product, price, placement and promotion. Product simply means the product you’re offering an all that it entails like its warrantee, guarantees, etc. Pricing is simply the act of choosing an appropriate price for the product. This can include things besides money, like time and energy.

Placement is the distribution of the product—how it gets into the customers’ hands. Point-of-sale, retail, online, which area the product is sold in, the demographic and exact selling environment all make up this part of the definition of marketing. And finally, the last P, promotion include advertising, publicity, selling philosophies and branding rounds out what marketing is and what a good marketing strategy must take into consideration.

This 4 P model works best when applied to consumer goods of fairly low to moderate cost. High-end items require adjustments to the definition of marketing to make them successful. And the terminology used when it comes to marketing a service is different and a bit more complicated, warranting 3 more Ps on top of the original 4.

People become one of the crucial factors in the definition of marketing a service. Each person a customer comes into contact is even more important than usual when service marketing. This P can also refer to the customers. Process refers to the process of providing the service. Physical evidence is a part of the definition of marketing services that no one would consider purchasing a service without. This makes up all of the testimonials and case studies that demonstrate how other people liked or were helped by the product. Since a service is something that can’t be seen or felt until it’s delivered, this evidence that others benefited from the same thing is very important.

Web marketing has its own set of 4 Ps, as well. Personalization is an important part of marketing online because it allows customers to create their own products. Participation in a company’s website and activities attracts customers. Predictive modeling is a term that refers to the mathematical formula for sales models that most of us never need know about it. And peer-to-peer is an important and relatively new term. Social networking and social bookmarking are two prime examples of this. Peer-to-peer or word of mouth is a crucial part of the definition of marketing successfully online.
