Choose Costa Rica For Yoga Practice

January 31st, 2012 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Fitness, Yoga

Educational vacations are a great experience because it gives a person a chance to learn new skills, like a language or a meditative practice. Costa Rica yoga is a unique way to practice. La Escuela Del Sol, steps away from the ocean on one side and only a short distance from three waterfalls on the other, is a great place to study because a person can combine classes in Spanish with classes in Yoga. The school offers college credit for their Spanish language program. The opportunities for study don’t end there, however. There are also classes in Poi (fire dancing) and surfing. Ever wanted to get a Scuba Certification? The school offers that option as well. Each student chooses whether to stay at the school one week or four. If going to La Escuela Del Sol in Costa Rica Yoga classes, the type taught there is Hatha Vinyasa. Hatha yoga is generally slow, paced and gentle. It will be likely to cover the basic poses. Vinyasa indicates that movement is in harmony with breath. It tends to be a relatively vigorous style of yoga. It is based on yoga poses called sun salutations. You can choose to either combine Costa Rica Yoga study with Spanish classes or just head there for yoga practice. The school has a yoga only option. They do not allow people to enter the classes who are not students at La Escuela Del Sol. While participating in Costa Rica Yoga or studying anything else, take the chance to explore your surroundings. Montezuma is one of the adventure capitals of Costa Rica. When not in one of the Costa Rica yoga classes, a person can live on the edge, touring by ATV or zip-lining. Some excursions for those not quite as adventurous are a hike to Montezuma Falls and a Giant Turtle Egg Laying tour. Both those activities are included for all students. The egg laying tour is only available July through October. Some activities are only for those who are staying two weeks or more. There is a choice between zip-lining in the forest canopy or taking a horseback ride on the beach to El Chorro waterfalls. The horseback ride is only available on the weekends. Students can also choose optional excursions, which will cost extra. Please visit La Escuela Del Sol’s web site at www.laescueladelsol.com for more information including tuition rates for Costa Rica Yoga.

Can Physical Therapy Help Heal?

January 31st, 2012 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Fitness

Physical therapy, just on a very surface level could be considered an alternative type or natural treatment for certain conditions like back pain. Unlike aromatherapy, herbal remedies etc, physical therapy has been recognized as a legitimate treatment for many physical or bodily problems resulting from disease, accidents and other things that can affect our life.

It is different from Occupational therapy. Occupational therapists treat people who are considered to have much more permanent physical or developmental problems. The physical therapist however may be considered a shorter term solution for people in need of temporary assistance and treatments.

Much of the established medical community recognizes the benefits of physical therapy. Physical therapy is essentially the use of exercises and activities to help condition parts of the body. Through specialized activities, the part of the body being worked with gains, strength, coordination, conditioning, and movement.

Physical therapy is now considered an important part of most treatments for injuries or physical disorders. Exercises are designed to help patients gain the as much of the full range of motion as possible. This means that physical therapy is usually a lot of exhaustive work for the patients.

The appointments with the physical therapist is only part of the work that needs done however. The therapist will typically offer a daily exercise regimen and suggest other ways to help with your rehabilitation. They will often spend the time necessary through demonstration and teaching patients how to get the maximum benefit from those exercises. By following their direction, patients can expect over time to improve their health and gain additional functionality of the problem area.

Many doctors who treat pain will also actively use physical therapists to assist with relieving a painful condition depending on the reason for the problem. Therapists are not just physical education instructors but are skilled in helping patients recover the greatest amount of functionality possible.

Physical therapy plays a critical role in helping in the development of children with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy and many other conditions. This work may include years of effort to gain just a few precious benefits for the child but it’s one of the benefits of becoming a physical therapist.

Therapists work to help maintain or improve the use of bones, muscles and joints through their specialized treatments and efforts. They are licensed professional who have done wonders with children and adults of all ages. As our society ages, physical therapy as a career will become increasingly more important.

Top 3 Herbs for Cholesterol Management

January 31st, 2012 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Nutrition

It is not unusual to have high cholesterol level in your blood. It happens even to the best of us. But if you suddenly find out that you have high cholesterol you must immediately take action. This is called ‘Cholesterol Management’. It may seem a pretentious notion, but it keeps you away from heart problems. Cholesterol management involves few simple rules for lowering your cholesterol level: eat low fat (it doesn’t matter if it is saturated fat or total fat, they are wrong nonetheless) foods; lose weight; eat fruits and vegetables; grill your food instead of frying it; and start being more physically active.

Aside from these basic rules, there are some factors that can help you with your cholesterol management action. Research has shown that nature is providing us with all the necessary elements for a healthy life. In this case, plants help reducing cholesterol. You don’t have to eat the entire garden; you just need to keep in mind 3 herbs that are essential to cholesterol management.

1. Garlic Bulb

Garlic’s curing properties have been known for centuries as it was used for treating different illness. Garlic has a highly concentrated content of organosulfur substances that can be also found in vegetables like cauliflower, onion and broccoli. But garlic’s sulfur concentration is four times higher than other vegetables’. Why is garlic good for managing your cholesterol? Well, sulphur lowers the serum cholesterol level (LDL or bad cholesterol) and raises HDL or good cholesterol. It does this by decreasing the clotting effects that are causing plaque formation in blood vessels and arteries which are responsible for the occurrence of heart disease and strokes. In other words, garlic is providing a good, healthy blood circulation.

2. Alfalfa Herb

Latest research has shown that saponins in alfalfa seeds are blocking the formation of atherosclerotic plaque which is being caused by the accumulation on cholesterol in the blood vessels. Alfalfa seeds are attacking the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), removing it from the blood and replacing it with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) which is good for the human body. However, you must pay attention to the amount of alfalfa seeds you would be using as consuming them in excess may cause damage to the red blood cells.

3. Capsicum Fruit

Everybody has eaten capsicum for at least once in his/her lifetime as it is a spicy herb used for making salsa and chilli. It has been proven that the extract of this plant stimulates the blood flow. This means that capsicum extract is making the slow and toxins-loaded circulation faster, determining the blood to reach the far parts of the body that need oxygen and nutrients. It has the same favorable effect as garlic.

These are the most important herbs to be used in cholesterol management, but if you want to add some ‘spice’ in your life, you can use: Ginseng, Turmeric, Cayenne, Aloe Vera, Saffron, Dandelion, Burdock root, Red Clover blooms or Echinacea root.

But remember consuming these herbs in excess can cause you side effects so always consult a doctor before using them.

Cholesterol Diet And Foods To Avoid

January 31st, 2012 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Diets

What causes choloesterol in your diet and what you have to look for in the food you eat

At one point or another many of us have been told that we have high cholesterol in our blood and we need to adjust our diet.

Well, that’s always good to know, but how exactly does one creat an optimal cholesterol-lowering diet, especially one that fits your tastes and budget enough to live with for life?

First, of course, you should go through the labels on the foods you currently eat to eliminate the ones high in cholesterol and saturated fat. Both contribute to high cholesterol blood levels.

You should counsume no more than 300 mg of cholesterol per day, no matter what your current cholesterol level. When trying to lower blood cholesterol, you should try keeping it below 200 mg per day.

Saturated fat is a bit more difficult to calculate with precision, but keeping it as low as possible is advisable. Basically, one gram of saturated fat for every 100 calories of a daily diet is the acceptable upper limit.

Foods to avoid or seriously cut back on include anything with animal fat for any kind.

This includes eggs, milk, and the fat found in meat.

Additionally, avocados and nuts can contain sufficiently high amounts of cholesterol to cause problems, so they should be restricted as well.

Fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains are all extremely low in cholesterol and can be consumed freely.

However, these alone don’t provide necessary protein, and some fat is necessary to any diet.

Subsstitution is therefore necessary to achieve a nutritious and well balanced diet.

Liquid vegetable oils are better than solid, partically hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are better than animal fats.

Lean meat is better than fatty meat, skinned chicken is often better than beef, egge whites are better than egg yolk and so on.

Learning your dietary alternatives is essential to crafting a low cholesterol diet you actually want to eat.

Remember that you don’t have to elimiate all high cholesterol foods permanently from your diet. You just have to eat them as treats instead of everyday foods.

In addition, explore the full range of foods open to you, as there are many flavorful alternatives to a diet of unrelieved oatmeal. Creating a varied diet fitted to your tastes and lifestyle is a vital component in maintaining your cardiovascular system and long term health.

Kundalini Yoga And Sex Disaters

January 31st, 2012 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Fitness, Yoga

 Kundalini or the cosmic energy is your life force energy, which keeps your body alive, and can be pictured as a coiled snake living at the base of the spine.Kundalini ‘ literally means, ‘coiled one’.

 Kundalini is the primordial universal poweror cosmic energy lies coiled in the Mooladhar chakra (Base or Root Chakra) corresponding to the base of spine, in our body.

 Kundalini yoga is a spiritual and a mystical science which teaches the secret Practices and techniques of arousing the Kundalini energy by causing energy to travel up through the spine, by stimulating six chakras in its path (which are the emotional- psychic centres) to reach the Crown chakra, where the individual’s self merges in the universal self and he attains the state of Self-realisation.

 When the Kundalini awakens, tremendous power is unleashed. The resulting expansion of consciousness affects every element of our being like our physical, mental, emotional, interpersonal, psychic, and spiritual spectrum.

The awakening of Kundalini may be a dramatic experience, the process of Kundalini awakening can vary greatly from person to person. Some have intense physical symptoms, while others experience mainly emotional or psychological symptoms. 

Negative thoughts and desire to express negative emotions are the part of the energy rising and cleansing process. 

Psychic experiences, extrasensory perception, out-of-body experiences, past life memories, astral travel, contact with spirit guides and invisible entities, dreams or visions are some mental, emotional and psychic  symptoms of kundalini rising. 

 Each chakra has certain negative blocks and basic animal instincts. When kundalini power begins to raise, the negative energy blocks and patterns of that chakra slowly starts to get dissolve and cleansed in the divine cosmic energy. 

 In this cleansing process if the disciple does not have proper guidance and knowledge of body, mind and soul he may face severe traumatic physical and mental disasters. The worst traumatic results of Kundalini yoga are the manifestation of sexual desires and scandals in a perverted ways.

Some of the derogative sexual behaviours and patterns seen in the disciples of this path are:

Sexual scandals

 An advanced kundalini yogi or master is a powerful and a potent charismatic individual who has the ability to influence the minds of others. A number of disciples of Kundalini yoga have experienced a worsening of symptoms as a direct result of energy manipulations performed by master and mentors of this field.

 Some powerful masters and strong disciples of Kundalini yoga can easily project themselves in the astral plane. They can sexually abuse the other disciples of same or opposite sex in their dreams by using their etheric double body.

They can also manipulate minds, thoughts and psyche of others to gain sexual favours from the disciples.

In India many disciples of Kundalini yoga have complained of their masters and mentors for having repeated sex and rape in the astral form in their dreams and taking sexual advantages in physical forms by manipulating their minds, emotions and psyche.

 

 Accentuated sexual drive

Kundalini yoga temporarily accentuates the sex drive. The Root chakra is the seat of animal instincts. It controls the unconscious mind. When awakening begins to take place, the unconscious mind materials begin to surface on the conscious mind.

 The sudden bust of unconscious mind accentuates the suppressed sexual experiences, thoughts and activities of past and present life in a very traumatic way.

The animal instinct of sexuality increases many folds, the disciple may be lost in the physical and mental of world of deformed and perverted sexuality.

Further with the awakening of second chakra the Naval chakra the craving for sensuous pleasure increases several folds.

 

Sexual dreams

 With the rise of kundalini power, in the process of purification and cleansing   the suppressed sexual patterns, memories and emotions stored in unconscious mind are manifested and released in dreams.

 The disciple may feel the abnormal and unnatural sexual pleasures and activities in his dreams which are stored in the memory of unconsciousness by the experiences and desires of past and present lives.

 

 Astral rape and sex by invisible entities

The Kundalini power may gives us our first or most unmistakable contact with the invisible world .The living energy makes their vibrant presence in our body and our psyche. They are fierce, powerful, mysterious and enticing.

 The disciple may feel extreme emotion of repeated sex and rape by psycho-spiritual subtle bodies of this and outer world entities.

The subtle entities satisfy their sexual urges and gain spiritual power of kundalini energy earned by the disciple.

These types of sexual encounters in dreams or in trance state may induce distress, mental illness and psychosis in the disciple.

Automatic induced orgasms

 Sometime in the process of union of the Yin and Yan, the disciple may feel automatic induced multiple spiritual orgasms like sensation in the whole body or its parts.

 Automatic induced spiritual orgasm tries to reproduce the cosmic union of Shiva and Shakti, i.e. of Consciousness and Energy without the physical presence of the other partner.
