Are Sports Really Useful For Health?

My husband tells it to me very often: I need move more if I want to remain healthy. All my "activities" in fact confine myself to different sitting hobbies. I like to read, to knit or to crochet, I pass hours making necklaces or writing articles. It can provoke Osteoarthritis , he says. Oh, those men. I'm not a soldier, I answer. If I do everything you want, I'll be a man, not a woman! Women have not to make sport always! Did you notice what men think about sport? If you listen what they tell about it, seems it's the miracle cure for all illnesses. I don't know any woman thinking this way.

But if I have to say it honestly, movement is life. Sport is health and beauty. It's enough to make exercises for some days and you begin to feel your muscles. It's great feeling. I see more and more persons running in our zone every year. There are many cyclists too. Some of my friends go in the fitness centers. I don't partecipate on all these activities. First of all, it's too far from the place where I live. I envy only. But in my age absence of movement means arthritis and all the problems that accompany it. There is not cure for this illness and the only help we can receive comes from our own will. Sport and movement.

What have we, Lazies, do to join this common fit to remain young and healthy as long as possible? As for me, there is only one way: to find strength of will and obbligue ourselves to create a good timetable. They say, you can't leave sport after some time when the body has already got accustomed to beсome it's everyday exercises.

Healing Drink -Liquor China China Pisanti

As you know, I visited a tasting of wines produced on the slopes of Vesuvius on March, 25 (more posts will follow in my new blog "The Marvelous World of Travel") where I learned different interesting persons. One of them, Signor Aldo (unfortunatelly, I didn't ask his last name) from the company China China Pisanti told me about the liquor produced by them. Signor Aldo was so gracious to offer me this liquor to taste it.

Бальзам со склонов Везувия

Well, I have to explain you that I came in the hotel where the manifestation took place different hours earlier, at 13:00, invited by one of the organizers, and had just go home some minutes before the official tasting began (at 17:00). So, signor Aldo and some other manifacturers ("Sole e Terra Del Vesuvio", I'll tell you in one of the next posts) allowed me to taste their products ... illegaly ;-)))

Бальзам со склонов Везувия

What about the taste... You know, it was great. Such a bouquet of herbs and other natural components! I'm not a specialist of the wines and drinks, you know, but I use herbal remedies in my everyday life. So, I know the tastes of the herbs. You can believe me, it was a symphony of the flavours.

Бальзам со склонов Везувия

What I think about this and similar liquors (because it seems there are similar products in different nations and many in different parts of Italy) as a healing remediy:

>because the key components of this liquor are different medical herbs etc (china, anise, cinnamon, cloves, mint, sage, elder, fennel -I have to listen to the record of what Signor Aldo told me, but I think, he spoke about 25 herbs etc.), and you can feel it tasting,
>because it is produced from the pure natural products

... for these reasons it has to be a valid healing remedy.

Did you know, they say (I heard it many times), it is necessary to drink 50 g of such a drink every day to have good health? Now I'm sure about it.
;-)))

How to Use Herbs

I wrote about chinese herbal medicine in the last period and here is an interesting video I found about it today:



I liked these explanation and watched some videos from this serie. They are interesting and easier than others about the same theme.

You are perfect Buddha Mind: Dzogchen

©Tempa Dukte Lama
(excerpt from forthcoming book) -
From: Olmo Ling

You are perfect Buddha Mind: Dzogchen
"Learn to look without imagination, to listen without distortion: that is all. Stop attributing names and shapes to the essentially nameless and formless, realize that every mode of perception is subjective, that what is seen or heard, touched or smelled, felt or thought,expected or imagined, is in the mind and not in reality, and you will experience peace and freedom from fear." - Nisargadatta Maharaj
In the Bon tradition, Dzogchen practice is the highest teaching of all. Through the practice of Dzogchen one can attain enlightenment in this very life. Dzogchen is a Tibetan term that is made up of two words. The first word is ‘Dzog’, the second word is ‘Chen’. ‘Dzog’ means complete, and ‘Chen’ means great. In the West, Dzogchen is known as The Great Perfection. Dzogchen practice is found in Bon teaching and Nyingmapa sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

Benefits Of Weight Loss in My Life

Weight loss... Do you know how long I dreamed about it? Some of you will say after reading this words: Oh, another woman that has nothing to do! No, you are not right, when you judge all this way. Excessive weight is something invalidating you if your body has not accustomed to it from the childhood. It's true, when we begin to add weight, we probably do not understand fully what is happening. When it was with me, I was not alarmed even when I had to change the pants and buy them bigger than those I took before. And you have to think, I'm a woman, and a woman that looks at her reflection in the mirror.

When I began to notice the difference, all my thoughts began to whirl about the idea of the weight loss. I hated the fat on the sides of my body. I could not make my normal yoga asanas, every movement needed more efforts, I was always tired. I decided it's the high time to begin to control myself. My first steps were low carb diet and more movement. The problem is I pass a good part of my time for my PC, and my husband needs a crane to drag me out to normal life.

Today I lost half of the weight I would like to lose. I feel young, I like to feel my body, I like when other women glance at me. Probably I look so as I feel myself. Can something donate more satisfaction? And this happiness is created only by control of the diet.

Making Diagnose Of The State Of Your Soul -More About Chakra Cleaning

Years ago when I read Lam Rim for the first time I nticed an interesting affirmation. It was said: you have to clean the room where you want to make your practice before you begin it. It was very important condition. I was sceptic about it. What is the difference, if you clean the room or not? Ah, forgot, they said, the Gods and Goddesses do not come in a dirty place.

It seemd strainge to me. Specially if we think about those persons that come home after a working day, tired etc. They eat and sit with intention to meditate. They have not forces to clean the room in that moment. Why have they do it?

I read an article about this theme today. The author said, he (or she?) can diagnose what chakras are close lookig what places in the house of the person are not enough clean. I don't know what is your reaction now. Time ago I would say, these are stupidities. An other "guru" tryes to introduce his/her new alternative therapy to sell it.

Well, I don't want to say, I've changed the opinion. Those poor chakras, only the greatest igler did not write about chakra healings and chakra cleanings. All they made so, that I do not believe more in this things.

But I understood finally, Lam Rim was right.
Not that you have to clean the room. If your room is dirty, it means, your soul is not in the right state to make practice. Your soul has a problem. An invisible problem maybe. But it manifests in your "apathy". You don't want to do anything, you are tired. You need the relaxation, other solution -if it's about something more serious. So, your soul in it's depth is worried about other things than a good practice. And it means, you cant reach a good connection, good results. And your practice has not it's deep sense. "The Gods do not come in the dirty place". Not because they do not like dirty place but because you are not in the right state to make your practice.

Concentration

These two photos of a praying monk impressed me very much. The author tells, this monk comes in this place for a temple every day (the photo was taken in Hainan). I don't know what precisely seems to me so special -probably his concentration. Or maybe the question: WHY does he it every day there? Maybe, I see it from my european point of view and there is nothing special, simply buddhist practice...

Because many common persons, those who blog and those who read the blogs, exactly those who become your clients than, receive the notice about the existance of your business. And this is our big problem, as we said first, to make that everybody knows about us.

The blogadvertisingstore is a site that connects you with bloggers. It has very easy to use system, and you can add your advertising comany in some clicks. Than the customer service is there to help you if you suddenly have problems doing it.

Do you see the difference: those who click your link for case and those who enters your site just prepared to accept what you are selling there.

Advertising in blogs is so important today that all the most important webdirectories write about it too. The brief articles improve you presence in the net, writes one of them, increase the engine ranking of your site and is very flexible because you can promote your services, special offers or products in the way the persons like to read.
