Is the lack of energy your problem? It's surely mine. What do you do to solve this problem? Overdose of caffee? I just can't even think about caffee. It's smell provokes cramps in my body. I began to hate it, confess...
They say, the problems are different: we need more Vit B-s, our liver and kidneys are full of all kinds of toxins and can't work normally, all our organs do not receive enough oxigen for these and other reasons...
What can help us? Natural food. Fermented drinks like teas, kvass etc. Honey+ royal jelly+propolis The weight loss drink I told about in my previous post black tea and pure 1 lemon juice. If you prefer, you can use honey to feel better taste in your mouth after you drink it.
What do you prefer? I use all of these and those are good solutions. The only problem is they are not ultimate ones. Maybe, it's necessary think about cleansing of liever and kidneys?
This is an incredible recipe. I would never believe that something like this can completely destroy appetite. I drink it and do not want to eat more!
Ingredients are:
lemon juice, cayenne pepper, honey
mix these 3 in a glass and add good water
They say, turmeric and cayenne pepper are among the best foods for liver. So, I changed the "formula" and added turmeric, too.
Where this recipe comes from?
I had to "clean the liver": I had to drink water with salt in the morning. Than, I had to drink this juice 8 times a day. This is how I learned about this aliment.
I do not think, it's good to drink so much lemon juice a day. And to assume so much species. By the way, I felt very very bad after the "cleaning", yesterday. Really very bad. I do not think, I'll repeat it once more.
But I learned the recipe of this very delicious cocktail. It is is TASTY! Once a day it can be good, surely.
Weight Loss became for me one of the most important things in the life. Some of you laugh about it but if you arrive at the point when the excessive weight of the body becomes an obstacle for many activities of your life and, as it is not enough, it is dangerous for your health, too - no, I'm not right, if you are obese, the only meaning of this is that you do not have good health more. It means, you have at least grave liver problems, right? So, I arrived at the point when the decision had to be made.
Three weeks ago, I received finally my bian stones and decided to begin with reflexotherapy. There are many sites and articles about it - you can see one of the graphics here (I don't know where is it from, my PC saved all the pics from the sites I visited that day), I've written some posts, too.
So, 3 weeks ago, I asked one of my friends, a doctor, to explain me where the acupuncture point I'm interested in are situated.
The doctor said me, I have to do only one simple thing, if I want to loose weight: I have to sew up my mouth. It's the only effective way and there is nothing to do: I have to eat less and have to count calories I assume during all my meals.
You will not believe me, but I began this "therapy". And here I want to tell about my way and my progresses. This is the first part. And I'll continue till I'll win this battle. I'll even begin a new category in this blog "My Weight Loss Battle" so that all the posts about it are "visible" in one click.
From the first day, I began to write what I eat and how much calories are those meals. It's not so difficult, as I could imagine: there are special sites where it's enough to enter your parameters to have the numbers you are looking for.
One thing you have to understand: every site gives you an other number. Here is the other "offer"
You should consume about 1,655 calories a day to reach your goal weight of 65 kg . This is at a reasonable weight loss average of 0.46 kg per week, which should be reached by January 22, 2014.
Experts recommend weight loss at the rate of 0.25-1 kg/week. Remember that this estimate is based on your body weight, height, age, gender, and activity level. It may vary slightly depending on other factors.
Generally, women should not consume any less than 1,200 calories per day, and men should not consume less than 1,500 calories per day.
My personal results were very surprising at first: the first week I lose 3 kg. I had 82 and was 79 after only one week (78,9). Next week was not so impressive: 77,9 Now, I wait for the results of the 3'd week but I know that I turned back to 78,2 these days (I added a new program).
It was interesting, to count calories. And I did not suffer without my "normal" quantity of sweeties and high-caloric foods. I thought, it will be much more hard for me. Yes, I knew, I eat great quantities of everything and eat too often (I am near PC all the day...) but I could not renounce on it. Yes, I knew, it was mostly psychological dependence. But I could not control myself. It was impossible...
And, maybe for this reason, take this action was so easy. Now, I can not eat half a day and I do not feel necessity to eat.
What do you think about the rejuvenation of the skin? Do you believe in all these creams? Specially those which we see in the malls? Honestly; I do not believe. And those "50 but looks like 18" without any surgery etc - I do not believe them, too. Madonna, Sharon Stone and others could not do anything with all their money and necessities of the job. What can we say about all the others?
But in the years I had the possibilities to meet people from Asia, I noticed they have the skin of the face and neck much more young than we have. Those have to be genetic peculiarities but the habits and cultural customs, I think, too. This is why, when I learned about some new for me Chinese traditional medicine techniques, I decided to purchase the tools and to try these ways.
One of these therapies is burning of the mugwort (artemisia) cigarettes in a kind of wooden box that you post on the painful place of your body.
Here are the photos about how it works. I use it myself regularly for my neck aches and can list here the benefits we have. Together with my husband - because the smoke of the burning artemisia can inspire all who are present in the room (the cat does not like it and goes under the bed when I burn moxa)
So the benefits we have are: we are more relaxed we sleep better the pain goes away (not forever, unfortunately)
One of my dear friends, Martino Nicoletti, published an other book about very interesting and very popular in Europe by Buddhism and Yungdrung Bon followers practice, chod. I'm happy to present it here because I know it is priceless for those who are interested in Tibetan culture, nomadic cultures generally, and for all practitioners.
Here is the announce about the publishing of the book:
Published in these days the book by Martino Nicoletti: The Nomadic Sacrifice: the Chöd Pilgrimage among the Bönpo of Dolpo (Western Nepal), Kathmandu, Vajra Publication, 2013. In the heart of the Himalayas, some officiants belonging to Tibet’s ancient religion, Bön, undertake a long ritual pilgrimage through wild and inhospitable terrain inhabited by mountain gods, genii, demons and the restless souls of the dead. Using instruments fashioned from human bone, the officiants evoke the presence of invisible beings in order to celebrate the symbolic sacrifice of their own body (chöd) which is offered as to the spirits as food during a singular ritual banquette. Texts, diary excerpts, images and an unedited short film shot by the author retell this archaic ritual steeped in spiritual meaning. Also included is a previously unpublished translation of the sacred ritual text The Secret Wisdom Dākinī (Khandro Sangba Yeshe) by Geshe Gelek Jinpa. This publication is enriched by a DVD containing a short film by the author and a liturgical chant performed by the monks of the bönpo monastery Triten Norbutse in Nepal

This fact was always a kind of shock for me: women in Italy smoke so much and in any situation - even in a little car with closed windows in presence of babies. I never could understand it, you know. As a teacher, maybe, I thought children have to receive the best we can give them - first of all the pure air. The mother can do anything she wants with her own health - she is an adult person, and she has to decide herself what way she wants to ruin her life. But a mother has to think about the health of her children.
The second argument for me was the way to cultivate the tobacco. My neighbors, here, in Italy, all cultivated tobacco for generations, and I could see the treatments needed to grow this plant. They use very hard poisons all the period of the growth because they can't have their yield at the end. The poisons are so that they need complete protection when they do these treatments. They wear something similar to space suite. I just used rarely the cigarettes but this fact made so that I never smoke more. ;-)))
Now, 20 years after I entered the soil of Italy for the first time, those children I've seen so little grew. The mothers and the grandmothers (those mothers of 20 years ago) continue to smoke. The schools are those who cry havoc. I received a mail about the new battle the schools of my zone begin now. Here are some dates they published:
Every year, 4 million persons die from smoke in the world. In Italy, the first cigarette is smoked at the age of 10-11 years. At 13, children are just calloused smokers. They smoke 4 cigarettes a day at least. 30% of scholars smoke at 15. Generally, the number of men-smokers decreases (and you can note there are not so many men smokers in the streets). But the number of women and children smokers is always growing.
Most interesting fact in this research is that great % of women and children smokers live in south of Italy. This means - in the poor part of it. North of Italy is not in so grave conditions.

Health of the family depends often from the state of one stressed member and can lead to grave consequences. If the situation is controlled by others and they help the stressed person to go out from this state, all the family lives better. Here are some advises I found in the latest specialized articles. Hope, my readers can benefit from them, too.
First of all, it's necessary to find the TRUE sources of stress. Sometimes, we accuse the wrong persons or circumstances. For example, we have a difficult financial situation and are worried about it. We go in the office and interact with the colleagues. Or we come home and interact with our wife/ husband or child. Since we are worried, everybody irritates us. And we begin to swear, to insult the others. The other person does not understand, what is happens. He/ she maybe tries to calm us but it's impossible since the root of the problem is always here and we can't reflect.
If this situation can be solved in not too much time, the persons we treated in the wrong way can forget us our bad behavior. But if the stress persist, the situation can degenerate.
Do you recognize this scenario? Yes, I'm sure.
If everybody o at least somebody can understand the roots of the problem, very useful is to plan what is necessary to do to go out from it.
You can analyze how you normally treat your stress. The most frequent solutions are alcohol, smoke, sweeties. With all the well known consequences.
What can you do to undertake the healthier ways?
Learn "Stress Management Strategies" (available even gratis in internet).
Among them are:
Avoid, accept, adapt to the "stressor" (Often, it's TV or Radio with the bad news - learn to recognize bad news that stress you and change the channel.)
Treat better the situation that stresses you. For example, manage your time in a better way.
If you can't change the things, accept them. Forgive those who stresses you.
Very effective solutions (after the earlier meant points of treatment) are not drugs, coffee etc but sport, good sleep and fun time with your loved once.
Poster Printing is very important for every business that needs medium and large format posters to promote their products. Many families like to make big photos with lifetime memories to decorate their homes. My friends embellished their rooms with the posters of their creations, too. For me, the need to make posters was because I needed to promote my activities in an exhibition. So, this is my experience with this field. Check it out here if you would like to follow the story of poster printing with me. Shortrunposters.com is a site where the task of printing posters is not only easy and pleasant, but very precise too. It's important when you have to print your posters that the site you use, allows you to have a real image of what you will receive later at home. I had a bad experience when a poster I ordered arrived with an image that was very granular and cut in the wrong way, even though the site I used at the time seemed to have everything all right in their editor. Be careful and read all the FAQs and watch videos. What' is excellent with this site, is that you can find all the instructions and the list of all the additional possibilities near every poster option on Shortrunposters.com. By the way, this company has the most affordable prices with the 18x24 poster cost that is simply great: $2,97! Big posters, 24x36, have a good price, too: only $15,97. That's thanks to the new equipment they purchased recently. You can choose to have lamination applied as well (it's a plastic film that protects the photo) as well as mounting. This last option consists of a 3/16 foam core, and is a rigid backing. It's possible to add an easel so that your poster becomes self'standing. How handy is that? The order is so easy to fill in with all the on page support and is ready for shipping in 5 days. Your e-mail address and the number of the order are enough to check your order status. To take a look at Shortrunposters.com click here where you will be able to appreciate all the poster printing possibilities of this company.
Tea is my favorite drink. 17 years I live in Italy where all the population is coffee addicted. I did not find similar coffee in other countries. Even the bars where there were the same Italian coffee machines were not able to make coffee so as it's made here. I want to say that I understand the difference of Italian and precisely Neapolitan coffee... But I love tea.
You want to know the why-s? It's easy. Tea is the drink of the long lasting conversation in a good company. It's impossible to drink tea for hours and speak with the persons you don't like. Coffee is different. Italians do not drink their coffee with calm. How is it possible to enjoy your beverage for hours if you have only some drops in your cup? So, they come, drink and go. I was surprised by this strange behavior of my friends when I came here, in Italy! I began to ask them: I do not understand, you came to me only to drink this cup of coffee??? Don't you have 1 euro to pay it in the bar?
Well, all this is not to discuss tea or coffee. Those are only my thoughts about the differences in behavior and customs.
Do you like to make tea with the bags? No, I rarely use them and only because it's difficult to find good tea here, where I live. But the tea distribution companies offer interesting varieties in the last time. White tea, Jasmine tea, tea with spices, red tea... etc etc. One of these teas is Puerh tea. I purchased one box with bags once. But I did not appreciate it.
Now, I found the possibility to buy Puerh tea directly in a manufacture in Yunnan province in China. And - I learned it's a healing tea. Now, those who drink Puerh tea for long time have next benefits:
it lovers blood fat
it's used for weight lose
the blood pressure becomes normal
it cures cholesterol and lipod levels better than medicines (proved)
improves digestion ...and more.
Ehhh... yes, I ordered so much of this tea I could allow. Now, I have to learn the right ways of brewing it and... have great patience. Who knows how much time it will travel from China... and what will happen when the Italian border officers will see it...

Today, I will share with you the significance of Thangka painting
Thangka paintings of Buddhas and Bodhisttvas are the representatives of their real self. Since, we are ordinary people, it is very difficult to see them in real, and it’s only through thangka paintings that we are able to see them. Hence we must regard as real Buddhas or Boddhisttvas. Preparing Thangka painting has lots of uses/benefits. • It will save you from frequent illnesses in this life. • You will never face problems regarding clothes and foods. • It will help you to finish your work without any obstacles. • You will be able to help others in a big measure. • It will help you to attain happiness and peace in next life. • You will receive the teachings of Buddha. • You will meet your root lama and will be able to practice dharma. • It will help you to remove your five poisons and in accomplishing Buddhahood. • It will save the country from famine and droughts. • It will bring peace and prosperity in the country. • It short, we can say that it will help us to bring peace and kindness in this world. But yes, the most important par t is that you must have faith and devotion in order to experience all the above benefits. Benefits are totally dependent on your sincerity and faith. Hence simply preparing Thangka, does not give you a privilege to enjoy the above benefits. Important points to remember regarding thangka painting.
• Lord Buddha had said that Thangka without a rabney is simply like a stone or wood. That’s why it’s important to do rabney (Sanctify) once you complete the Thangka painting. • Since it is like a real Buddha, we must keep it in altar and must do offering prayers. • You must never keep it randomly with other things. Instead always consider them as real Buddha and worship them sincerely. • You can prepare it with different paints like gold,silver,soil colour, ink etc. But the best one is gold/silver points, medium one is point and the last one is using ink to point it. • It is also prepared as symbol on the basis of dead person’s merit accumulation. • It is also regarded as an object of accumulation as it reminds us of accumulating merits and prevents us from indulging in negative actions.
