Real Men Keep Their Strength

January 11th, 2010 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 0

Welcome back!

As a man gets older he starts to realize the warranty on his body has indeed expired. The time for some remedial body work is well overdue. This is not the time to slow down and take it easy like you think you should - your body needs the work right now and delay isn’t an option.

There is a risk of falling into a sedentary lifestyle which is the worst thing you can do as you get older. There is a ‘danger zone’ period for men from the age of 40 to 65 where the numbers of men that die from heart disease alone double that for women.

Our modern sedentary world has not helped the male human. Previous generations had to work hard manually just to feed and clothe their family every single day. The male especially has been built to be able to perform hard physical work to ensure survival of the species but this has all changed in the modern world.

Most men barely do anything that even remotely resembles physical work anymore. They spent most of their day sitting in a chair barely moving, from the car, to the desk, to the car and to the couch. But the problem is without the vigorous activity their bodies cannot stimulate the ‘growth and repair’ hormones that keep them healthy. This sends a human body on a downward spiral of decay and degeneration well before its time.

The main trigger of this downhill run is the loss of muscle and bone from the lack of physical activity which amounts for at least one half pound per year from the mid 20’s. This rate doubles after age 50 dragging health further down. All systems weaken including the immune system which increases risk of life threatening disease.

This is why killers like heart disease, cancer and diabetes are called ‘lifestyle diseases’ as they are caused by not doing enough muscle building and maintaining activity. As it is not naturally in our lives anymore it is critical to put intentional exercise back in if you want to get to know your grandchildren. That’s if you even get to meet them.

Men need to get rid of the ’she’ll be right’ attitude and take some responsibility for their own health and wellness. They often take more care of their car than their own strength and fitness. Exercising and eating better is not a ’sissy’ or ‘optional extra’ if there is time left over - it is a necessity in our sedentary world if you value your life.

Don’t wait till the wheels fall off and you have a major problem that can’t be fixed. Get yourself the help of a fitness professional to get your strength training program set up so you get the most ‘bang for your buck’. Don’t waste your time doing ineffective activities like walking jogging or cycling that are fine as part of an active lifestyle but do not address the problem of muscle and bone loss - the number one bio market of aging.

Get stuck into your program and put some effort into it. Imagine yourself as one of your ancestors and the amount of effort that would have had to put into each and every day. You have the capacity to do that too, so use it and keep your body strong and healthy.

All alternative therapies including Reiki healing, Yoga, Tai Chi, Quantum Touch prescribe various forms of physical and mental exercises to calm and relieve our minds. Meditation is recognized as an essential aspect of all alternative healing techniques.

Due to the synergy generated by the blend of meditation and reiki you stand to gain both physically and mentally by performing this exercise.

1.Hold your hands slightly above your chest in a prayer position. You should be able to feel your exhaled breath at the point where the top of your middle fingers representing the fire element meet the hands joined together.

2.Concentrate on that point and let go of all other thoughts. Although difficult if you try it is possible to stay focused on the said point. Do not be overenthusiastic and chase away the stray thoughts. Be conscious of the stray thoughts and make attempts to release them and return to your said focus point by pressing the two middle fingers against each other.

Practice this simple Reiki meditation exercise for 15 minutes every day. It is very useful in calming our minds and clearing our thoughts. As a result you will be able to think better and sleep better.

I have been a Reiki Master since 1996. Living in an ashram in India, my daily routine includes yoga, meditation, reiki practice and study of herbs. I have traveled almost all over the world teaching Reiki. Being a wild life enthusiast, I am passionate about climate change and environment pollution. I encourage my students to take part in Nature Walks to help understand plants and herbs which have medicinal properties. I strongly believe that natural remedies exist for all types of ailments and must be the first choice of treatment for any disease. To get rid of modern day stress and strain we must resort to alternative medicine. Reiki is one such healing method which has provided relief to scores of people the world over. You have to try it to believe it!

Symptoms of Grief and How to Resolve Them Naturally

January 11th, 2010 -- Posted in Uncategorized | 0

Some typical symptoms of grief which normally occur immediately after a grief can include either crying (which may be hysterical or bordering on hysterical) or an emotional numbness.

Every individual is just that. Individual. So everyone will experience grief in a different way. So the weeping may not last very long. It may give way to your own particular weakness, be that a headache, the development of twitches or chorea or in women, the periods can suddenly stop.

Your unique symptoms are only going to mean something to you (and to homeopaths). So you need to be aware of when they started.

Apart from these very personal symptoms, you may also experience a lump in your throat. This will be an emotional lump, rather than a physical one you can see. But it will feel very physical.

Another symptom of grief, which you are unlikely to notice, is a sighing. We never notice that in ourselves, but others around you will. Ask them. Sighing is a very common symptom of unrelieved grief.

Humans are very good at ‘swallowing’ our grief, because it has become unacceptable to cry in public. Why? If it’s uncomfortable for others, that’s their problem. It certainly isn’t harming them. And it certainly isn’t a sign of weakness.

However, because of that, we do tend to suppress our grief. By swallowing it, the symptoms of grief tend to be focused on your throat - the lump, the sighing. And also you may experience spasms of coughing which are not related to any respiratory problem. Again, it’s an emotional symptom.

All these symptoms perfectly match the homeopathic medicine Ignatia. So if your symptoms of grief are a good match to those listed, then Ignatia is likely to be very helpful.

By learning to express your grief, you will let it go naturally. This is the healthiest option. The alternative is to accumulate deeply buried grief, which must resurface eventually.
