Yoga

few days ago i'd registered for energik power yoga instantly. there's no plan before, me and my mother join the class 3 days a week. they said that yoga can bring the body, mind and spirit into balance and harmony.

certainly i know that yoga poses have been developed over centuries of research and experience. they have been found to be extremely effective in:

1. Increasing flexibility of the body and freeing all the energy blocks. Besides increasing flexibility, this leads to a healthier body.
2. Helping to lose excess flab and weight - another cause of ill health.
3. Massaging the internal organs of the body and the rarely stimulated parts such as the thyroid gland.
4. Helping to treat several health disorders - from common ones such as backaches and arthritis to 'seemingly' unrelated disorders such as stammering.

"It is recommended to include some form of yoga positions and preferably a yoga routine in your life."

when we talk about yoga, we can detached with breathing theory and meditation. what is meditation?... i think only budhisme have it for the prayer..

Meditation

An ordinary person may consider meditation as a worship or prayer. But it is not so. Meditation means awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. "Watching your breath" is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is effective meditation.

Meditation is not a technique but a way of life. Meditation means 'to join together or to yoke' . It describes a state of consciousness, when the mind is free of scattered thoughts and various patterns . The observer (one who is doing meditation) realizes that all the activity of the mind is reduced to one.

A Tibetan Lama was being monitored on a brain scan machine by a scientist wishing to test physiological functions during deep meditation. The scientist said - "Very good Sir. The machine shows that you are able to go very deep in brain relaxation, and that validates your meditation". "No", said the Lama, "This (pointing to his brain) validates the machine!".

These days it is commonly understood to mean some form of spiritual practice where one sits down with eyes closed and empties the mind to attain inner peace, relaxation or even an experience of God. Some people use the term as "my gardening is my meditation" or for jogging or art or music, hence creating confusion or misunderstanding.

The word meditation, is derived from two Latin words : meditari(to think, to dwell upon, to exercise the mind) and mederi (to heal). Its Sanskrit derivation 'medha' means wisdom.

Many years ago meditation was considered something just not meant for modern people, but now it has become very popular with all types of people. Published scientific and medical evidence has proved its benefits, but it still needs to be much understood.

Traditionally, the classical yoga texts, describe that to attain true states of meditation one must go through several stages. After the necessary preparation of personal and social code, physical position, breath control, and relaxation come the more advanced stages of concentration, contemplation, and then ultimately absorption. But that does not mean that one must perfect any one stage before moving onto the next. The Integral yoga approach is simultaneous application of a little of all stages together.

Commonly today, people can mean any one of these stages when they refer to the term meditation. Some schools only teach concentration techniques, some relaxation, and others teach free form contemplative activities like just sitting and awaiting absorption. Some call it meditation without giving credence to yoga for fear of being branded 'eastern'. But yoga is not something eastern or western as it is universal in its approach and application.

With regular practice of a balanced series of techniques, the energy of the body and mind can be liberated and the quality of consciousness can be expanded. This is not a subjective claim but is now being investigated by the scientists and being shown by an empirical fact.

and i will start my meditation at class in sunday =) can't hardly wait...

dot..

this is saturday night.. online.. alone.. tragic.. lonely.. writing.. missing..

a little bumping emotion...

gone through with unbalanced emotional this few days and finally know the matter of fact what the hell going on with my body now. i can't imagine before, how great is the impact all of this hormonal thing for my body and my soul.

During the menstrual cycle, the sexually mature female body builds up the lining of the uterus with gradually increasing amounts of estrogen, and when this hormone reaches a critical level, and it will start... as in me... Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a cluster of up to 150 symptoms that many women experience each month preceding the start of menstruation. PMS is believed to affect between one-third and one-half of women between 20-50 years of age. (read it somewhere... =p)

What are the symptoms?

Pre-Menstrual syndrome includes a series of symptoms that appear before the menstruation.

These may include:

1. Depression
2. Irritability
3. A propensity towards outbursts of anger
4. Distention and pain in the abdomen and breasts
5. Headache and dizziness
6. Restlessness and insomnia
7. Water retention
8. Diarrhoea
9. Increase in appetite
10. Cravings for sugar and/or salt
11. Tiredness

Some women experience only a few symptoms, while others may have many.

The discomfort felt as a result of PMS symptoms ranges from mild to so severe that it may interfere with everyday activities. and thanks to andy could understand this kind of thing =) it is so nice of you.. and i keep searching, why i can so badly interfere with all of those hormones... silly but it's quite scientific. i can't force natural law am i?..

What causes PMS?

There are several theories about why PMS occurs i can find.

Some researchers believe that PMS is triggered by fluctuations of the sex hormones during the menstrual cycle.

They believe a drop in progesterone levels or the increase in oestrogen levels during the latter half of the menstrual cycle may be responsible.
Another theory holds that vitamin deficiencies may be the culprit. A deficiency of vitamin B6, for example, may be responsible for the depression and mood fluctuations of PMS.

Another theory links PMS with sudden changes in the body's levels of certain morphine-like substances.

It is suspected that changes in the female hormones produce fluctuations in the levels of these opiates that influence appetite and moods.

and the question goes to... How can I treat PMS? i hate all of that fluctations...

But what??? There is no single cure for PMS!!!.

Many women, however, have found that making changes to their lifestyle can help to control the symptoms. (yea... they tell so in several women site...)

These include:

1. Eating a balanced and nutritious diet (not dieting.. )
   
2. Eating smaller and more frequent meals (oh ho... of course i do)
   
3. Reducing the consumption of sugar and salt (ridiculous...)
   
4. Cutting out alcohol and caffeine (although.. i don't take it at all...)
5. Taking regular exercise (of course! by power riding =) hihi...)
6. Supplementing the diet with vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium and zinc (don't eat it properly)
   
7. Sleeping properly (well... i need to stay awake anyway, he'll call me at night =p)

they said... In many women, various intense sensations brought about by the involved hormones and by cramping of the uterus can precede or accompany menstruation. Stronger sensations may include significant menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), abdominal pain, migraine headaches, depression and emotional sensitivity. Breast discomfort caused by premenstrual water retention is very common. The group of sensations experienced varies from woman to woman. Furthermore, within an individual woman, the strength of the sensations may vary from cycle to cycle. it's hard to be a woman...

this love want live longer
for a sign from your voices

telling you that i think lot about you
telling you that i disturbed by this silence
the magic i wish i could have
knowing all the thing come in your mind
knowing all the thing that you do

don't u let me stray
say it in my despair
there's an answer to a lover
i can believe in
you will walk after me
because you've changed this heart in me

once upon a time we fall in love, after all long long night passed away.. curiousity.. is it good thing to start a relationship? :) well... try it, may be a lot of surprising moment came after you.

there is no love. honestly. maybe it goes to curious, attracted, interested, extracted until my bottom.. then it happen when it has to happen. 13 dec. unfortunate day he said. but for me... there is no bad day... sigh... are all the 'javanesse' must notice about this???

tell me.. do many things uncommon for both of lovers make separation? (lovers?... ohoho... i don't think so!). at the beginning too much he-like-i'm-not bring us along neverending debate. there are always a different thing, too much differences... as i thought it never work...

blame the way we communicate that time.there always a way out for every problem in life if it mean to be so. and finally we find it. we can comfortably say it at loud what we like or dislike each other.

until this time, he can amaze me with his know-how attitude, ocassionally adult, slender of boyish, common-world-thing knowledge, beautiful guitar plucking, attention in harmony with compasion as well. can i say that i am falling in his love??? haha... ;)

keep the differences as your rhythm of life..

it ain't a friend nor a man...

this letter completed, and then proceeded to write my own name below. i am particularly stated that his manner should been very amoral embarrassing. there was no need if you keep talking around your ass. ass*ole. just proof it to me. that you ain't a chicken. yelling me your ill sarcastic joke. give me a look of your face... such a labile he-bitch.

never mean to make one who i consider as a friend then be my companion in hatred at last. but there is always a limit for patient and dignity. i'd do memo-to-self never forget the unforgiven moment, keep it and proof it to everyone who ever hurt me... "hey you, you're nothing to me, and still..."


of course...the letter never come in front of his ugly nose. every word that i'm crazy to scream in front of his face never come out through this lips. intelect woman can't do a pity thing like that. such a ridiculous... he able to be a jerk only because rejection. ohh please... grow up boy!
