Fourth Dimensional Living

Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | Emotional wellness | No Comments

All the growing awareness’s will do much to lift humanity out of the shocking conditions of bad health, shortened life span and impaired intellect which are so oppressively prevalent today that they are accepted as almost the normal and inevitable conditions. Many present-day diseases will pass away, but others will take their place. These will mostly be diseases of sensitivity and of over stimulated mentality.

Mankind will have overcome the grosser physical diseases, but will become prone to the attacks of “mental microbes.” There will be further advances in neurofeedback equipment to help rid generalized anxiety disorders and anxiety symptoms. Men will have to battle with the strange and embarrassing afflictions which their growing response to subtle forces will entail until their organisms have had time to adjust themselves.

The influence of fourth-dimensional living upon the treatment of health will bring in many radical changes. It will be realized that a competent community should be able to prevent disease rather than have to cure it. As so much reorganization will be going on in the world it will be quite natural for the medical system to come in for its share. In conjunction with the beginnings of World Government Control some kind of an international health control committee will be set up.

In time the very obvious solution to the problem of human health supervision will be grasped in all its simplicity, and great innovations will be made, to the interest and delight of a public becoming determinedly health-conscious. biofeedback equipment will become easily accessible to prevent anxiety attacks and the effects of stress on the body.

It will be realized how pathetically inadequate is the present-day system of the management of health and disease. The fact that a doctor has no right to examine his patient until he is sent for because of some obvious and advanced symptom is ridiculous. Under existing arrangements often a doctor is only brought into contact with his patient when it is already too late to affect a cure, or at any rate a permanent cure.

Many diseases which take years to develop are never brought to the notice of a doctor until the disease is in an advanced stage. The doctor has then to resort to some violent methods which may only repress the symptoms of the disease and drive it to change its course and develop into something else. People are so accustomed to the prevalent general feeling of ill-health because of their way of living that they may carry quite a serious disease for some time without becoming aware of it.

It will be realized, also, how unfair it is that, although the state does to a certain degree provide free treatment and hospitals for a large number of the people, yet those people are entirely at liberty as to when they choose to use these advantages, and may double the cost and time of cure through ignorant delay. It will be regarded as wrong that in most cases the life and death of a human being is placed in the hands of one man only—his doctor; and that the doctor’s success is jeopardized by the fact that his patient can send for him or not at his own whim.

The inadequacy of present arrangements will not be fully perceived until the whole system has been completely revolutionized. The effects of meditation can provide clarity if needed. All types of meditation are different, even if you’re just beginning meditation it is suggested to further research the specific one you are interested in. Large institutions will be set up which will take the place of hospitals.

They will be built principally for prevention instead of cure. After they have been successfully tried out, such clinics will be erected at set distances apart, to cater for a given number, until every individual of every class has his district institution, or Health-house. Attendance at this Health-house will be strictly compulsory. Once a year or once in six months every person of every age must pass through the building, to be subjected to a complete examination such as is not now known.

Innovative Events of the Fifth Dimension

Friday, June 5th, 2009 | Emotional wellness | No Comments

If you were to ask a man of the far future ‘What is religion?’ he would look at you in surprise and answer, ‘Why—everything!’ The idea of a religion separated off from education or any other phase of life would appear to him absurd, unnatural and unpractical. The idea that a human being could be so pitiful, so blind and so mentally impoverished as to strive, after thousands of years of development, to prove survival through pathetic experiments with phenomena, will appear fantastic to the man of the future, who will have no need of any such assurance.

The developments towards this stage will take place gradually, their growth being contributed to by ever-changing conditions on all sides. The anxiety, stress, pain, physical effects of stress, and torment which a large portion of humanity will have passed through by the end of this period of warfare and conflict will have roused up the human spirit to a new sense of responsibility for the future of the race, and an earnest desire for truth, enlightenment, and inspiration.

A great wave of longing will go out to the Christ, whether as from Christians to their Founder, or from earnest individuals to the Spirit of Peace and goodness whose existence he senses. This wave of longing will grow ever stronger, transmuting men’s vibrations to a finer and more sensitive key, until finally they synchronize with that which they seek, and a glorious revelation and illumination will break upon them. This tremendous event will take place during the lives of those who are already born.

We can look upon the little child of today with awe and envy because he will live to see the greatest event of the new era—the ‘second coming of Christ’. This event is foretold and expected by many thousands of people to occur before the end of this century. Therefore it is not one of the “original” thoughts coming to us in this book, but it finds its place in our vision nevertheless. People have, of course, little idea as to the form or manner in which this second coming will take place.

Some seek out different types of meditation, breathing techniques, or breathing exercises that will help give a better explanation. But we can see that it will actually be the people themselves who journey to the ‘Christ within’ through having finally tuned up the vibrations of their consciousness to function strongly in the fourth dimension, the realm of radiation, of warmth and attraction, of love–the realm wherein Christ moves and links with us.

The collective suffering and stimulation which humanity is going through all over the world will result in a fourth-dimensional consciousness being brought to birth in numberless people in every land. While the Western Christian recognizes his Christ, what of the East? The Easterners, who have still preserved to a certain extent their link with the fourth dimension, their assurance of, rather than belief in, Deity, their unquestioning acceptance of survival, and their acknowledgment of rebirth or reincarnation, will surely take easily to the further development ahead of them.

In the East they believe in the Lord Maitreya, Who is to appear again amongst men. Occultists declare that this is the eastern name for our Christ, and that when revelation breaks upon both the East and the West they will discover that their awaited Lords are one and the same Being. A form of Buddhist meditation, mindfulness meditation, or an alternative form of meditation is what leads to this discovery. If this is the discovery ahead of mankind, then it can clearly be understood how easy the path will be made for the coming “World Religion.”

The coming mission of the Son of God, worshipped throughout so many civilizations under so many guises, will be the ultimate fusion of men’s spiritual lives into a harmonious whole. How long it will be before this uniting is achieved, and how much of difficulty and conflict will have first to be passed through, need not concern us here. We have glimpsed the glorious vision of the future through the facet of what we call “religion.” We must proceed to fill in our picture through the medium of other facets.

Religion of the Fifth Dimension

Thursday, June 4th, 2009 | Emotional wellness | No Comments

The Buddha preached the technique of being. The Christ added to this the technique of doing. Right action is founded upon right being. The Doctrine of Christianity was, in a way, superimposed upon Buddhism, carrying the spiritual development of man a step further. It crowns all former religions, was brought by the greatest Teacher of them all, and is still far beyond men’s powers of achievement.

We have to realize that men are graded in many different categories, of many different rates of vibration, and so long as this is the case there will be religions to suit them all. As soon as a man has developed to a certain stage he will recognize the true Christian religion as his goal, and embrace it. If he has been a good Buddhist he will learn to worship both Christ and Buddha, seeing them in their right relationships.

The Easterner will learn that the Christ of the West appeared also in the East under another name. They will realize that all types of meditation not solely for stress and anxiety relief, but to find peace within one’s self. The more people bring their minds to bear upon the truths underlying the complexities of traditional religious doctrines, the more clearly they will perceive the same set of divine laws and teachings shining through them all.

The transition from the era of mystic emotional religion into the coming era of occult or mental religion will show forth Christ and His Words in a different light. He will at last be understood as a profoundly scientific and practical Teacher, with a mind full of tender humor and logic. The true occultist will be the Christian par excellence, worshipping Christ, as they already do, as the “Master of all the Masters, Head of the Hierarchy, Teacher alike of Angels and of Men.”

This can be used for guidance while performing the art of meditation, practicing breathing techniques, or any other means of stress relief. It may be asked in despair: “why, then, is it taking so long for those who desire, generation after generation, to become good Christians, to approach anywhere near to their ideal?” It would seem that a great religion is like a beacon shining from the unknown future, setting a goal ahead of humanity, pointing to the trend of its development. A great religious doctrine is in reality a prophecy of the destiny of man’s soul.

Science in its own divine secret language explains how that destiny will be attained. Christ held up the fourth-dimensional way of living to a humanity still third-dimensionally oriented. He taught the art of living the radiatory life, the life without barriers, classes, prejudices, enviousness, or possessiveness. He even foretold the attainment of personal fourth-dimensional powers when He said those words to which we have already referred: “All these things which do and more shall ye do after me.”

He preached a way of life which sounded madly impossible to the bulk of His hearers, and still seems sadly impossible to most of us today. However, there is a growing vanguard of people who not only deem such living possible, but are planning to put it into execution. This can be improved through concentration during guided meditation, neurofeedback, or specifically, biofeedback.

Such movements as the World Fellowship of Faiths, the Oxford Group, Federal Union, are inspired by the real Christian spirit of unity and collaboration, just as are the League of Nations, and the recent world congresses, international meetings and world fairs. They all show the growing desire for unfettered human relationships and harmonious cooperation.

Strivectin SD – The Magic Ingredients

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009 | Beauty skincare | 2 Comments

When Klein-Becker brought its first Strivectin product to market in 2002, the company thought it had simply come up with an outstanding stretch mark remover. What they didn’t at first realize was that in addition to being a corrective weapon against unsightly stretch marks, Strivectin had enormous potential as a wrinkle remover and all-around skin rejuvenator. They didn’t catch on until, almost by accident, the same people using Strivectin to get rid of those stretch marks began reporting that the wrinkles in their skin were decreasing dramatically!

But does Strivectin work better than Athena 7 Minute Lift or Lifecell wrinkle cream. See, Athena wrinkle cream has been around for a long time in the US and the UK as well and is an organic cream that lifts the skin in 7 minutes hence the name Athena 7 minute lift for anti aging.

Because of that discovery, Klein-Becker has now used many of the same ingredients in the original Strivectin stretch mark removal formula to create a line of antiaging products. You can now purchase Strivectin-SD eye cream, and Strivectin-HD hand cream as well as some other wrinkle-fighting Strivectin formulas.

But what are the ingredients in Strivectin that makes it so potent against both stretch marks and lines and wrinkles?

Strivectin contains a proprietary thermophyllic (heat-activated) formula which penetrates to your skin’s “dermal/epidermal junction,” the membrane of cells which separates your epidermis, or surface skin, from the dermis, the layer of skin which contains all your nurse, hair roots, and blood vessels. The dermal/epidermal Junction is sometimes referred to as the basement membrane, and it’s what anchors your epidermis to your dermis.

Lifecell wrinkle skin cream in contrast has antioxidants that help repair skin suchas D3PA, vitamin C in its safe and stable formulation and has been called the anti aging cream of Hollywood due to its popularity and is also endorsed by Paula Adbul.

When the dermal/epidermal junction, or DEJ, thins out as you age, it no longer anchors your skin’s surface cells to your dermal cells as firmly as it once did. These weakened bonds between those two layers are what account for the appearance of lines and wrinkles. One of the ingredients in Strivectin, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 (commonly referred to as Pal-KTTKS) has been chosen because it can restore the strength of those bonds.

A second of this best rated wrinkle cream ingredients, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, has been shown in clinical research to stimulate production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are the connective fibers which will support the surface skin, and keep it supple. While your body produces both of these substances naturally, that production tails off as you age.

Strivectin also contains several herbal ingredients, including phyllanthus emblica fruit extract (full of antioxidants to fight free radical damage); siegesbeckia orientalis extract ( to restructure damaged colleges) coneflower extract (it hydrates and strengthens fragile skin) , and bearberry extract (a proven skin lighter).

Then there is the acetyl-hexapeptide-3 and Strivectin. AH3 in Strivectin SD cream is a molecule which penetrates and mildly paralyses the facial muscles, much in the same way as a Botox injection, to provide immediate temporary face-lifting effects.

We mentioned only some of the active ingredients in Strivectin’s proprietary wrinkle-fighting formula. When combined with its other components, they make Strivectin products such powerful skin rejuvenators that many of their users have found them more effective than Botox injections!

Why would you choose to spend the money on invasive and possibly dangerous Botox injections, which need to be repeated in a matter of months, when a single six-ounce tube of Strivectin wrinkle cream used twice daily could provide you with better, safer results at a fraction of the cost? Don’t you deserve to give Strivectin and its marvelous ingredients a shot at your wrinkles?

An Overview of Bay and Bergamot

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 | Emotional wellness | No Comments

Bay

The scientific name of this herb is Laurus-Nobilis but you may recognize it as Bay Laurel or Sweet Bay.

Natural History and Cultivation

The Bay leaves, berries and oil used in cooking and medicine come from the Bay Laurel tree, an evergreen native to Asia Minor, Syria, and the Mediterranean regions. It must not be confused with the Cherry Laurel (Prunus-Laurocerasus) whose leaves contain prussic acid and are poisonous. Bay Laurel has been cultivated in Europe and North America since the sixteenth century.

It can be grown from small plants in a fairly shady situation and will reach a height of about twenty feet over time, and in warm climates, sometimes over 60 feet. It can also be grown in containers, both for useful and ornamental purposes.

Character

The Bay Laurel has a long and distinguished history. Its leaves were used to crown the heroes and athletes of ancient Greece and Rome. It’s said to have been used by the Delphic priestesses in their burials. It can still be used today for various types of practices such as Zen meditation, guided meditation, and other forms of spiritual meditation.

In spite of its name, Bay Rum is made from Pimento oil. The characteristic odor and flavor of true Bay is nearer to eucalyptus in weight and it’s warm and penetrating. It has been an essential ingredient in cooking from early times.

The volatile oil is occasionally used in perfume and the leaves, berries and oils have all been put to the uses of herbal medicine. Of bay, Culpeper, the herbalist, said “It is a tree of the Sun and under the celestial sign Leo…it helps to speed birth in difficult labor and resisteth witchcraft very potently, as also all the evils old Saturn can do the body of man, and they are not a few.”

In herbal medicine, the action of Bay is regarded as excitant and narcotic. It’s prescribed for such complaints as hysteria, amenorrhea, flatulent colic and so on. It can be used to improve your health and wellness, for stress relief, or breathing exercises. The berries, powdered or in an infusion, are taken to create appetite. They are also believed to stimulate women’s periods and, for this reason, have been used in attempts to procure abortion.

How to Use It

Bay leaves are essential to “bouquet garni” and therefore appear in most meat or fish stews, casseroles, and soups. You can use them in game pies and experiment with them in sauces. A Bay leaf often improves a milk, pudding, or custard, but not in everyone’s opinion so act with discretion. One Bay leaf is usually enough to flavor soup or stew for two or three people.

How to Buy It

Bay leaves are dark green, shiny, about 3 inches long, and are egg-shaped with smooth edges. They are available dried in most commercial ranges and are widely available in supermarkets. You can also buy them fresh at Farmer’s Markets.

Bergamot

Although the scientific name of this herb is Monarda-Didyma, it’s commonly known as Bee Balm, Oswego, and Scarlet Monarda.

Natural History and Cultivation

This is a useful and ornamental plant that’s native to North America, but can be grown in England during March if they are separated from other plants. It likes a fairly rich, moist soil and a situation protected from the hottest sun. Its height is between three and five feet. The leaves are the most useful for medical and culinary actions.

Character

This plant has a very strong aroma that may seem a little strange at first but it can help make meditation easier. Beginning meditation can be done with or without biofeedback equipment which is what makes Bay leaves so useful in a situation like this. The large scarlet flowers have a few uses themselves. They are highly decorative and its fragrance is impregnated through the whole plant. Its great popularity with bees accounts for one of its country names, Bee Balm.

How to Use It

The leaves can be used in salads and are sometimes included in potpourri. The scent is strong, and therefore, should only be used in small quantities.

Nowadays bergamot is used very much in general cooking but in the United States it still has a high reputation as a medicinal tea, usually called Oswego Tea. To make this, take about one teaspoonful of young, dried leaves for each cup and infuse for about five minutes with boiling water before straining. Sweeten with honey or sugar.

How to Buy It

This is one of the less common herbs. Health stores may stock it dried. Otherwise you must grow it yourself.

ADD/ADHD Meds: Their Use And Misuse

Monday, April 13th, 2009 | Remedy | No Comments

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

ADD/ADHD medication is usually one of the following: Ritalin (the most pervasive, wide prescribed, or mis-prescribed, and certainly the most notorious of the drugs prescribed for attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine, Vyvanse or Strattera. Not only do these medications involve extreme side-effects for genuine sufferers of ADD/ADHD (assuming there really is such a thing) but people misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD and those seeking a stimulant lift and somehow getting hold of these drugs to use them recreationally are falling into the same trap.

These drugs – notably Ritalin, Adderall and concerta – are being used to calm people’s shattered nerves, which is nothing other than taking them to shave the edge off the stress of modern living. Housewives, college students and professionals are falling into the dangerous habit of taking these poisonous substances. They have a temporary enjoyable effect (they should do as their effect is similar to cocaine!) but inevitably the side effects eventually replace any feeling of well-being with frightening effects that are dangerous to the user and to the people around them such as friends and family.

Be warned that if any of these drugs are in your home (perhaps a teenager, child or even an adult has been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and these medications have been prescribed) it could be that other people in the household are consuming them and not the legitimate patient. To recap: the drugs involved are Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine, Vyvanse and Strattera. Initially the person misusing these drugs will have loads of energy and also feel more calm and able to cope with the intense daily stimulation occasioned by everyday modern life. They might start really excelling at work and appear to be positive and fearless. But this situation will not last long. Some of the warning signs that the side-effects of Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, Dexedrine, Vyvanse or strattera are starting to kick in might be a feeling on the part of the user that he or she is being victimized at work, college or school; an inability to concentrate: a temper that is set off at the slightest possible remark or look; and physical violence where previously the person was not in the least violent; and anxiety of a high order. In other words, the drugs will start to have the opposite effect than they had in the beginning and will actually exacerbate the problems for which the drugs were sought in the first place.

At the top of the list of abusers of these stimulant substances are college students and stay-at-home moms. Researchers into the misuse of ADD/ADHD drugs say the main reasons vaunted by people for this abuse are to get more energy, be able to pay attention, and to get an intense feeling of well-being. The fact that this class of drugs can cause these effects, even in the short term, is an indication of their intense strength and their effects on the human brain. The ease with which they can be taken does not help matters. They can be crushed and snorted to increase the effect of the drug. But make no mistake the enjoyable effects of the drugs will always be temporary. The human brain responds to these powerful stimulants by actively rejecting their effects! The abuser might then increase the dosage but the damage will have been done and the effects of the drugs will diminish and be replaced by frankly terrifying symptoms. Researchers are currently looking at the long-term side-effects of the misuse of Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine, Vyvanse and Strattera.

You should be warned that the abuse of these ADHD substances by college students is already widespread. By the end of 2007 it was estimated that the misuse and abuse of The misuse and abuse of Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Dexedrine, Vyvanse and Strattera prescribed for ADHD has become a widespread problem. The figures given in the report recorded that by 2001 about 6.9% of college students reported non-medical use of prescription stimulants during their lifetime and 4.1% reported such use in the past year, and 2.1% in the past month. Males were twice as likely to misuse and abuse these medications that females, with use among Caucasians proportionally higher than among African Americans. Somewhat predictably, misuse and abuse was highest among sub-standard students at colleges with high standards.

All these facts and figures suggest that you need to keep a close watch at all times on family members and friends who operate in high-stress environments, who exhibit changed behavior and who might have access to these powerful drugs.

How to Choose a Weight Loss Camp for Your Children

Monday, April 13th, 2009 | Exercise fitness | 1 Comment

Type the phrase ‘weight loss camp‘ in a search engine and you will be given websites for many camps for teens and children. How do you know which is the right one for your child? How do you go about choosing from all of those camps?

There are a few things to consider when choosing a camp:

Leadership – The combination of director and staff should have credentials establishing expertise in education, educational management, clinical and specific aspects of weight loss, behavioral psychology, and camping/outdoor education.

Clinical Program – A well-defined clinical intervention program should be focused on intensive cognitive-behavior therapy conducted by appropriately trained and supervised staff.

Educational Program – This should be a program clearly designed and staffed to increase knowledge of nutrition and psychological aspects of long-term weight control.

Diet – Meals at a fitness camp should be low fat, healthful, balanced, tasty, and fun. A food plan that focused on very low fat but very enjoyable meals and snacks is the only kind that works with kids. The plan must exclude all high fat foods and instead show variety and balance.

Uncontrolled Foods – Children need to learn to take their own portions. If they are still hungry, they need to recognize that some foods are smarter options.

Activities – There should be an emphasis on a wide variety of activities, at least some of which could be maintained readily after camp. They should also include use of pedometer to count steps at camp.Family Involvement – Family members should be clearly involved in the change process.

After Camp – Look for a support system to encourage weight loss after camp.Outcomes – There should be well-documented and clearly favorable outcomes using weight and additional measures. This helps children see their progress and feel successful.

Facilities – The facilities should be comfortable and well maintained.No matter what weight loss camp you choose, you and your child should go to the camp and check it out before you make a final selection. You may want to check out many different camps read their websites and visit the camp before you choose the one your child will be attending.

Weight loss camps can be fun and great place to help your child lose weight, but camp is only the beginning. The lessons that are learned have to continue at home or the weight that they lost at camp will be back. As a parent, it is our job to take over where the camp staff left off and make sure our children continue getting the help they need to have a better future. Above all make sure the whole experience from camp is educational and fun or they will not like it. When they don’t like something they won’t continue doing it.

Athena 7 Minute Lift: Does It Really Work?

Monday, April 13th, 2009 | Beauty skincare | No Comments

You would be forgiven for being a little skeptical every time that someone presented you with an advertisement for a wrinkle cream that boasts to be one of the very few that actually eliminate wrinkles and fine lines within just a few weeks. Many have tried and failed to convince women everywhere over the past few years, but there is one out there that actually delivers on all of the promises it makes, believe it or not.

However, Athena 7 Minute Lift is very different to most of the other lotions and potions on the market today because it fulfils all of the promises made by its title. It actually lifts the skin, minimizes sagging, eliminates fine lines and wrinkles and can smooth out crow’s feet, and all from the very first time you use it!

All of the above has actually been proven true! Greek Island Labs have actually submitted Athena "7-Minute Lift" for repeated clinical lab tests to prove that everything that they have said about the miracle of the cream is completely correct.

So what did the labs find out about Athena 7 Minute Lift? The rest of this article will tell you!

Athena 7 Minute Lift was thoroughly tested by AMA Laboratories in November 2005. The New York based labs conducted tests with a number of women between the ages of 41 and 50 testing the cream. They are one of the best laboratories in the world in terms of their credibility because they have performed tests for a number of organizations, including the American Academy of Dermatology and the Society of Cosmetic Chemists.

AMA Laboratories are indeed fully accredited by bodies such as the FDA and so are actually approved to test products and sanction FDA approval for them. This may well have been why the Greek Island Labs, the makers of Athena 7 Minute Lift, chose AMA to conduct their testing as well. As a result, the results that athena 7 minute lift were proven to have also hold the same credibility as the laboratories themselves.

So what did AMA actually find out about Athena 7 Minute Lift during testing?

Every single woman that attended the clinical trials experienced a reduction of wrinkles during the seven minute tests. They averaged out at an 83.72% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. They applied the cream to their whole face and waited for the Athena 7 Minute Lift to work its magic.

The women were not uniform in terms of their wrinkles. As per the Institutional Review Board guidelines, they displayed various degrees of fine lines and wrinkling on their faces so as not to corrupt the test results. They also all underwent a full face evaluation so that AMA could examine the difference that the Athena 7 Minute Lift made.

So could this cream be the best wrinkle cream so far discovered?

It is truly amazing that Athena 7 Minute Lift affected every single one of the women that underwent a trial, with some having as much as 90% wrinkle reduction. It was successful during one application and within seven minutes, which is even more amazing.

So there you go! Although many products boast to have the same abilities as Athena 7 Minute Lift, it is Athena 7 Minute Lift that has had a sizeable measure of success in clinical trials under strict conditions that have been approved by the FDA. You could go out and buy the cream today and see the results for yourself within just seven minutes, so what are you waiting for? If science has approved it then so will you!

Regular Exercise: An Important Step to a Healthy Lifestyle

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 | Emotional wellness | No Comments

If you want to be healthy, you have to start living it. Being healthy and staying that way involves many aspects. You cannot claim that you are in good shape just because you are eating the right stuff. While eating right helps a lot, you have to pay attention to other factors as well. Remember, you need to have enough rest and regular exercise as well.

In addition to food and rest, exercise is necessary to stay fit. That is why many are inclined to have their own home gyms.

Exercise generates many benefits, including:

1. Improves your perspective

Study shows that people who exercise regularly have a more peaceful approach to things. They are able to deal with stress and pressure better. Since they do not get tired easily, they do not feel irritated even if they stay at the office longer. According to most, this has something to do with endorphins released when exercising. These compounds are the initial response of the body to pain, which allow a person to endure it.

2. Enhances self-confidence

It is undeniable that you will start to look good if you exercise. Your body shapes well. Your arms and thighs become firmer. As you continue to exercise, you become aware of how your body improved. You feel good and confident about yourself. You will enjoy the fact that you are getting healthier each time you finish a workout from your home gym.

3. Energizes you

It is very easy to feel drained these days. Many things can wear a person down. Personal struggles, career responsibilities, and social issues can greatly affect how we respond to the things around us. Exercising regularly will give us the energy to face these challenges every day. We will have the extra push to meet the deadlines and attend our children’s recital after work.

4. Decreases the likelihood of a person to get sick

With proper exercise, one can prevent certain diseases like high blood pressure and complications brought by diabetes. It also gets your blood flowing which enables your body parts to function better. It improves your flexibility and balance, thus reducing the probability of injuries to occur.

5. Helps a person look and feel younger

Many celebrities today put people half of their age to shame. If you could look as fit as Madonna at fifty, that would definitely be something. Not discrediting cosmetic surgery, but many have really aged gracefully because they have included proper exercise in their lifestyle. When you exercise, you do not feel weak or bored. You feel that you can still do so much. Apart from that, you remain confident as you wear glamorous outfits because you have the figure for it.

Exercising can definitely do wonders for you. It is amazing just what a pair of dumbbells and other exercising equipment can do for you, both physically and emotionally. However, you should not over do it. Keep in mind that having too much of anything is bad.

To be healthy you have to achieve balance. This means that you should get enough rest. Your body will not be able to handle it if you workout all the time. You should also have a healthy diet. Remember, you need energy when exercising.

Keep this vital information when exercising:

• Wear the right outfit

It is important that you wear the right stuff when exercising. First, if you are exercising outdoors, do not forget to wear your shades, sunscreen, and hat. This will protect you from the rays of the sun.

You have to dress comfortably as well. T-shirts, shorts, and jogging pants are among the popular choices. See to it that you are wearing the right footwear as well. Proper shoes and good socks will protect your feet.

• Warm up

This is important because it prepares you and your body for the activity that you will do. This prepares your muscles, nerves, and blood circulation. This will help prevent you from having sore muscles and serious injuries as you exercise. Your muscles will definitely get in trouble if you lift weights without stretching first.

You can warm up by walking or jogging for about five minutes. After that, stretch the different parts of the body. This includes your neck, arms, and legs. Move your wrists and ankles as well.

• Proper execution is important

It is important that you pay attention to the proper execution of the routine. If you do not do it properly, you will only be wasting your time. If the exercise requires you to stretch your arms, then do so. Do not skip a step because you do not want to do it. If you feel that the routine is too much for you, ask your trainer for a better alternative.

• Sweat

Perspiration is an undesirable outside of exercising. However, it is necessary to achieve balance of the body’s temperature. Your muscles heat up as you exercise resulting in more sweat.

Sweating is unique to each individual. An athlete for example, tends to sweat more because his body has adapted to cooling its core more quickly during exercise. This does not mean that you should too. Normally, your body will glisten with moisture if it is cooling effectively. If you are sweating excessively, this means that the body is struggling to balance your body temperature. Sweating defines how effective your body controls its temperature. It is not a reliable indicator of how hard you workout.

• Cool down after an exercise

If you are using the Yukon leg press, gradually slow down your motion in preparation for ending the exercise. This applies equally to other individual exercises. Another way to cool down is to walk or jog slowly
To live healthy you have nutritious food, enough rest, and proper exercise.

Thought Will Set Us Free

Monday, February 23rd, 2009 | Emotional wellness | No Comments

What if everybody as a whole were to learn how to think for themselves? Civilization would be completely unrecognizable.

Because nobody has been thinking things through, society has come to such a state of stress, anxiety, depression, and tension that the only solution of men, after all these centuries, is still to fight. But violence will not produce a solution to any international controversy or affair, nor has it ever done so. The only possible remedy is international cooperation, and better organization. This must be planned by the most capable and open minds on this earth.

Any plan must have the support of and be understood by the majority of the general public before it can be carried through. The solution to our collective society’s troubles will ultimately depend upon clear thinking by the few, with the support of the intelligent understanding of the many.

It is extremely important for clear thinking to be developed as quickly as possible. The sooner we achieve this, the fewer years of wasteful warfare and suffering we will be forced to endure. The trouble is that we have not trained ourselves to understand and direct the trend of our own evolution. We cannot fully grasp the significance of the series of events around us, predict where they might be leading, and foretell what is to come. We must take advantage of stress relief techniques, the wondrous benefits of meditation, and deep breathing exercises.

We have given progress a significant push forward with the timeline of inventions throughout our history, but then we lag behind in our ancient ruts, clinging to the misery that we have created. This causes an unnatural gap between life as it is and as it is lived. This results in cross currents, barricades and chaos, placing us in the situation we have today.

Until man climbs from this ditch and opens his mind to the fast-pace conditions of society, and learns how to dance with evolution, he will continue on this path of stress and oppression, a dismal travesty of what he was meant to be.

Every male and female must come to life, and become a unit of thought in order to give birth to a new public, deserving of the perfect and fair civilization. The grand adventure and the freedom brought on by pure thought will open up a new world, and emancipate us from our current lives as mere puppets.

Man’s actions are dictated by the belief that these actions will bring forth the desired results. The bird builds a nest in anticipation for certain family developments. All life makes preparations for the future.

Estimations of the future ensure that our lives will not be lived in vain. Every great creative achievement was completed well ahead of its time. A primitive man will plan only for the next few hours. An average man plans for the next few years. The Super man plans for the coming centuries.

With that in mind, it is imperative that we learn how to predict what is ahead of us. It is possible, without the aid of astrology, prophetic dreams or psychic visions. We can do this simply with a logical thought process; we can tune the mind into to the dimension where the plan of the universe and the path of evolution is mapped out. By opening your mind like this, your renewed energy, anxiety relief, stress relief, and improved health and wellness will immediately be apparent.

It is a process as efficient, as scientific, and as sure as that of using a computer. The difficulty we must overcome is the lack of practice, lack of innate ability and lack of training. Despite these handicaps, you will come to see what astounding revelations and inspirational thought processes penetrable at that depth. We must learn to control our own minds.

This will be a very difficult undertaking. Otherwise its results would have been apparent long ago. In order to successfully carry it out, we must be able to launch our minds from their mildewed cells and set sail upon the infinite ocean of life’s mysteries.

Wrinkle Cream And Anti Aging Skin Beauty Tips: Look Fabulous At Forty

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 | Personal care | 2 Comments

So you’ve hit and passed the BigFour-0, and are not only still standing, but are determined not to let that milestone keep you from continuing to be your best. You’ve decided that it’s time to face the future as a completely transformed you, and are embarking on a total body makeover to look younger. Good for you!

But you’re not certain of the best way to begin your transition to being fabulous at forty. It’s really not difficult, as long s you have the desire and discipline. Any serious makeover will include new approaches including facial anti wrinkle treatment serums, to both your general health care and your specific skin care regimens.

Low Glycemic Index Diet (Low GI Foods)

You can tackle your general well being by switching to an anti aging low glycemic index diet, full of low carb fresh fruit and veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Supplement your new way of eating with a sensible program of regular exercise which combines aerobics and stretching with moderate strength training.

Regular Exercise and Stress Reduction

Combining your healthy new diet with smart exercise will soon have you leaner and more energetic then you’ve been in years, and will have your skin glowing from the nutrients which your newly improved circulatory system is supplying it, thanks to your antioxidant and essential fatty acid-enriched diet.

Exercise is also a terrific stress reducer, and stress is known to impair immune system function so that your body has less resistance to free radical damage. You can boost the stress reducing effects of exercise by learning some relaxations techniques like meditation or Yoga. You should also make a commitment to getting adequate sleep each night.

Anti Aging Cream For Facial Skin

All those nutrients will help your skin cells repair and replenish themselves, but you can help your skin along by including a great anti aging cream in your makeover program. What will an anti aging cream bring to your makeover that diet and exercise can’t?

The best anti aging creams have ingredients which can take years off your age in a matter of minutes. They do this in one of two ways.

Some anti wrinkle deception creams contain microcopically fine light reflecting crystals. When these skin and facial creams are applied, they make the shadows created by your lines and wrinkles disappear, and if the shadows aren’t visible, neither are the lines or wrinkles.

Other anti aging treatments and skin rejuvenating creams are rich in natural emollients which penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin, hydrating them so that they “plump” up, smoothing and firming the surface of the face. Some of these creams also have AH3, a substance which temporarily relaxes the facial muscles like a mild form of Botox, instantly lifting sagging skin for as long as ten hours.

Some examples of wrinkle creams and skin care serums include: Strivectin SD cream, Athena cream, Lifecell cream, Neutrogena, Obagi, Miessence, Ageless Skin, Hydroderm skin care and many others.

Other creams to consider are acne treatment creams, cellulite serums, stretch mark treatment solutions and others targetting specific problem areas of the body. Start with one and then move to others you feel you want to try for improving the feel, texture and appearance of your skin and body.

Using a good anti aging cream after forty years of age, however, has great long-term benefits as well. If you make a habit of applying your cream every day, it will continue to nourish your skin with antioxidants, moisturizers, and essential fatty acids. These ingredients will repair and replenish collagen and elastin tissues. But they’ll also continue to fight against new free radical damage. Free radicals are rogue molecules which have been found responsible for much of the aging process.

With a healthy low-glycemic diet, regular exercise, a reduced-stress lifestyle which allows you adequate sleep and a good anti aging area, you have all the basics for a makeover which will keep you looking fabulous after forty! And all without plastic surgical procedures that involve risk and side effects, let alone the high costs. These anti aging and quality skin care and facial care methods are all natural and all effective!

ADD/ ADHD And The High Glycemic Foods That Promote The Disorder

Monday, October 13th, 2008 | Medicine | No Comments

ADD/ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a distressing disorder that throws families into disarray and leads to underperformance at work and play. Among the greatest sufferers are children who are attending school and college. A root cause of ADD/ADHD is the consumption of foods that lead to hyperactivity and a deficit in attention. These are known as high glycemic foods and the tragedy of this list is that some of the items on the Top 10 List of High Glycemic Foods are actually regarded as “treats” or “kids’ food” by parents and, where teenagers and young adults are concerned, these foodstuffs are regarded as “convenient”, “cheap”, “filling”, and “fun food”. In fact these foods are among the leading causes of ADD/ADHD and of course they exacerbate existing ADD/ADHD conditions. It is a moot point which is worse: continuing to eat large quantities of these foods or using such invasive medication as Concerta, Ritalin, Strattera, adderall or Vyvanse.

Attention deficit disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity, disorder as it is sometimes called, which description includes both of the major symptoms of this condition, is caused or made worse when the patient eats large quantities of the following high glycemic foods: white bread, highly refined grains, french fries (especially when eaten with ketchup), baked potatoes, potato chips, soft drinks, chocolate bars, full fat ice cream, whole milk and breakfast cereals. Let’s deal with each one separately in terms of its harmful effects and why it should be avoided or at least minimized in everyone’s diet, not just those suffering from ADD or ADHD.

White Bread And Highly Refined Grains Many people are aware that white bread has had all the nutrients removed from it and what remains does not offer much sustenance. But fewer people are aware that white bread is at the top of the list of high glycemic foods and therefore should be avoided by ADD sufferers. The amount of energy that results from eating just a small amount of white bread is out of all proportion to the volume of the food. In other words, it has a high glycemic index (anything over 70 is considered high in glycemic terms). The body sugars tend to build up too rapidly when high glycemic foods are eaten, followed by an auto-immune response which throws the body into disarray. Hyperactivity is combined with restlessness, tiredness and inability to concentrate the classic signs of ADD and ADHD. The same applies to highly refined grains, except more so.

French Fries, Baked Potatoes And Potato Chips An ordinary baked potato is a high glycemic food in itself. When fried and eaten with dollops of ketchup, the potato is transformed into a dangerous food, particularly for ADD/ADHD sufferers. While it is unarguably filling, french fries are plain bad for, sending up your blood sugar count, loading your system with “bad” fats. Avoid french fries where you can. Whenever you can you should eat a salad in place of french fries. A baked potato is nearly as bad when it comes to the glycemic index. Minimize your intake even of baked potatoes. As for packaged potato chips, those are really high glycemic culprits. That is why they are such popular snacks. However, the rush they give is spurious and is not conducive to good health or optimal body performance.

Soft Drinks And Chocolate Bars Too many children, teenagers and young adults regard a chocolate bar and a soft drink as a replacement meal. No wonder that ADD and adhd is a problem in this demographic. These are high glycemic foods (apart from being fattening and not offering any nutrition) and their intake should be kept to a minimum. The benefits to teeth, hair, skin and figure of reducing the intake of these foods will accrue to anyone who avoids them, not just ADD/ADHD sufferers.

Full Fat Ice Cream And Whole Milk Although our diets are crammed with dairy milk, the sad fact is that human beings were not meant to consume cow’s milk in those quantities. While a full fat ice cream might be regarded as a “treat”, and while whole milk might be regarded as essential to child nutrition, in fact these foods should be consumed sparingly by anyone, not just those with attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. And seemingly innocent breakfast cereals can also be harmful.

ADD and ADHD sufferers would benefit from cutting down on the intake of high glycemic foods but that in itself would be insufficient to combat the disorder. A multi-pronged approach is required. The intake of high-quality foods and supplements is of the utmost importance. In other words eating good, healthy food is the flipside of giving up the excessive intake of high glycemic foods.

How to Recognize the Hidden Sources of Gluten

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 | Medicine | 1 Comment

What are Hidden Sources of Gluten

If you are diagnosed with Celiac disease, you are likely trying to live a gluten free lifestyle to manage your symptoms. Removing gluten from the diet is one of the best ways at reducing the negative impact that Celiac disease can cause within a person’s life. But, simply reading labels and looking for items that do not contain gluten is generally not enough. There are many sources of gluten that can be hidden and in order to become effective at living a gluten free lifestyle, you must become familiar with all sources.

Food Products

When you start reading food product labels, you will need to understand what you are looking for. There are a variety of names that gluten can appear as on a food label. And, there are several foods that contain gluten that would likely surprise you, including soup mixes, baker’s yeast, salad dressings, vegetable gum, seasonings, cocoa and some natural flavorings. In order to effectively life a gluten free lifestyle, you must be able to locate food products that contain gluten in plain and hidden form.

Non-Foods Products

In addition to many common food products, there are a number of non-foods products that contain gluten. And, these should also be avoided when looking to lead a gluten free lifestyle. Some of the items that should be avoided include envelopes and stamps, common prescription drug medications, many beauty products, some vitamins and some herbal supplements.

Cross Contamination

One last primary area to consider when living a gluten free lifestyle is the possibility of cross contamination with other items containing gluten. For example, if someone were to spread butter on toast, putting the knife back into the butter dish, the butter would then be contaminated with gluten. Look for these possibilities in your household and proactively work to remove them so that you can truly live a gluten free lifestyle.

Best Wrinkle Cream – How Do You Know It’s Working?

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 | Personal care | 1 Comment

Are you tired of trying wrinkle cream after wrinkle cream and giving up on each them after only a couple of weeks because you simply can’t tell if they are making any difference in the way you look? Do you get nervous about having to take it on faith that just a bit more patience will finally pay off and you’ll wake up one morning with radiantly youthful skin?

Here’s a tip: if your wrinkle cream is working, you won’t have to stand in front of a mirror studying your face from every possible angle and telling yourself that yes, your crow’s feet and laugh lines are a bit less noticeable on the right side. You’ll know without a doubt that your wrinkle cream is working because your entire face is firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned, and who will all the people who keep glancing in your direction and wondering to themselves where you had your work done.

There are the best age defying wrinkle creams which promise and deliver instant results, so you’ll never have to guess whether they are working or not. Some of these wrinkle creams contain an ingredient called acetyl hexapeptide-3, or AH3, which is a facial muscle relaxant and mimics the effects of Botox, without any of its risks. AH3 will instantly lift your skin for up to ten hours each time it is applied.

Other wrinkle creams contain microscopically fine light reflecting crystals, which eliminate the shadows caused by your lines and wrinkles. When their shadows can’t be seen, neither can they, and you’ll again be able to tell that these wrinkle creams are working as soon as they are applied!

You’ll also know your wrinkle cream is working not only because your skin looks so much younger; you’ll know its working because your skin feels better. Those rough, flaky, itch patches will disappear, thanks to the fatty acids in the oils in your wrinkle cream. The botanical oils (unlike the pore-clogging mineral oil used in cheap wrinkle creams) will penetrate deep within your skin’s tissues, healing them from the inside out with their antioxidants, and soothing your surface layers of skin which have become irritated from free radical damage. See this review of Athena 7 minute lift’s effects that has made this wrinkle serum a breakthrough in the eyes of everyone who has tried it.

Your skin will feel better from the inside out if your wrinkle cream is working, because the hydrating ingredients in the cream will replenish its moisture-starved tissues, plumping them up and diminishing the wrinkles on the surface of your face.

Finally, you’ll know your antiaging or wrinkle cream is working because of the long-term rejuvenating effects it has on your skin. The same botanical oils which provide instant hydration and soothing continue to give your skin necessary antioxidant and fatty acid nutrients for as long as you use the cream, and as your sub-surface skin tissues heal, your collagen will repair itself and your wrinkles will become less and less noticeable.

The antioxidants in a wrinkle cream that’s working will continue to protect your skin from the free radical damage caused by poor diet and sun exposure, so that you’ll be developing fewer new lines and wrinkles at the same time your existing ones are being reduced.

The best wrinkle creams work both instantly and over the long haul, and when you find one, you’ll know it!
