5 Tibetan Energy Rejuvenation Rites

Image
My family and I have been practicing the Tibetan Rites for years. T he Five Tibetans are a yogic system of highly energizing postures and exercises that originated in the Himalayas. (You may see the Rites' Benefits, at the bottom of this page.) Two thousand years ago, Tibetan monks claimed that the aging process could be reversed. They developed the Rites, by condensing 21 yoga exercises into 5. What would easily take a couple of hours to perform, could then be completed in 10-20 minutes. It was not uncommon for Tibetan monks to live to be 120 years of age, while still enjoying exceptional health! For thousands of years, healing practitioners have maintained that the body has seven principal energy centers which correspond to the seven endocrine glands. You may be familiar with these centers as chakras. Recent medical research has uncovered convincing evidence that the aging process is hormone-regulated.

SAUDADE

Our most beautiful, and absolutely unique word is so full of feelings and soul - so brazilian... :) Saudade (singular) or saudades (plural) is a Portuguese word that can be translated as "longing, yearning", which describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one loves and which is apart.

Cheap Wine Etc

Image
Why do we sometimes drink cheap wines? Well, in my case, it is because not all restaurants AND bars (specially) serve GOOD wines by the glass. So what a girl that does not drink hard liquor or beer, do when she wants a glass of wine and is out at a nice but not super swanky venue ? Well she makes the mistake of drinking a glass of crappy wine. And maybe a second glass, because you know, it’s a party and Spring is here…and let’s have some fun. Did someone say, “another glass of wine please!” NOOO!!! UGH. People, this is a not good situation. The high price we pay for crappy wine the morning after is no joke. Today is Friday. A work day. Why do I feel like HELL!!! ARGH!!!!! Ok, yeah, there is the DRINK PLENTY of water when drinking wine (specially bad wine) technique, but am I the only one that forgets to do that? Anyway, today I am having one of those days…and I didn’t even drink that much! Serioulsy, it’s just the QUALITY of the wine! Pretty amazing how much it can affect you.! ...
