Chakra Balancing And The Tools Of Chakra Therapy
by Anne-Marie Laureaut on Mar.09, 2010, under Uncategorized
Hindu teachings tell us that the chakras are the important energy centers which are present in every human being. Our chakras are the places at which energy flows through our body. The proper flow of this energy is vital to maintaining our physical, mental and emotional health. You can’t actually see your chakras, but you can see their physical manifestation; major components of our endocrine systems.
Chakras control the flow of energy into and out of our bodies. This continuous flow of energy within us and between us and our environment is dependent on your chakras staying in a harmonious balance with each other for proper mental and physical health to exist.
The seven major chakras are ties to the function of a particular gland in our endocrine system. Our chakras are tied to everything we go through; each feeling, sensation and experience we have are related to our chakras.
KC QB Cassel May Not Be Ready To Go For Start Of NFL Season
by Ross Everett on Mar.08, 2010, under Uncategorized
The good news for the Kansas City Chiefs as they prepare for the start of the NFL regular season is that their starting quarterback is back at practice. The bad news is that they still don’t know when hell be able to play. Matt Cassel returned to the Chiefs practice field on Monday for the first time since he injured his left knee in a NFL preseason game on August 29th. Still, there’s been no confirmation from either he or the team as to when hell return to action.
Cassel, who saw his stock shoot up precipitously as an NFL QB following his solid play in New England after starter Tom Brady went down to a season ending injury, signed a six year, $28 million contract with the Chiefs in the off season. Although Cassel participated in Monday’s practice albeit on a limited basis, head coach Todd Haley was noncommittal about whether he or Brodie Croyle would start Sundays NFL regular season opener on the road against the Baltimore Ravens:
“I think that as the week goes on, we’ll know a little bit more. We’ll know a little bit more with Matt for sure. But it was good that he was out there. He was able to get through some things. As the week goes on a little further, we’ll know a little more as far as where he’s at.”
Green Tea - Cancer Defending Nutrition Tea
by John Rohan on Mar.07, 2010, under Uncategorized
Green Tea has for years been the nutrition tea of all teas for the Chinese. They recognized its power and abilities to heal and prevent illnesses over 4,000 years ago. In this article I am going to discuss those powers in detail, so pay close attention…
To begin with, Green Tea stands out against all other teas in that its production is different. The leaves of the plant that green tea is made from, Camelia Sinensis, are steamed dry in production. This steaming action prevents the precious antioxidants in the leaves from being destroyed or changed in any way. Teas like Oolong and White Tea are produced by fermentation, which changes the vital antioxidants into other forms. The key antioxidant that Green Tea has that brings the most benefits is a catechin polyphenol called Epilgallocatechin Gallate, or in short EGCG.
EGCG is basically a flavanoid, and is similar yet more powerful than its cousin flavanoids found in broccoli, red wine, grapes and green cabbage. EGCG is capable of binding itself to protein cells that are found on tumour cells and dramatically slowing down their growth. A receptor found on the surface of cancer cells called Laminin, was treated with EGCG concentrate and the results of this showed significant reduction in further cell growth. This finding was revealed in April’s issue of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology magazine. It was also stated that the concentration of EGCG’s that showed these results were the same amount you get from drinking just 3 cups of Green Tea a day.
Another discovery, by Dr. H -H Sherry Chow of University of Arizona, Tucson showed that the body creates a detoxifying enzyme naturally, called Glutathione S- Transverase (GST). These GST enzymes assist the body in defending against cancer causing compounds and other toxic substances. Dr. Chow’s study showed that GST enzymes were stimulated by EGCG. With a group of people who showed lowered levels of GST , a concentrate of Green Tea extract was used to test these claims. The group had an average of 80% increase in the production of GST. Accordingly their strength in defending against cancer was heightened spectacularly. The Green Tea extract that was used in these tests was more potent than what you would get on a daily basis from having a few cups of this nutrition tea, however it is clear that by introducing Green Tea into your diet, or by increasing your intake, that you will build up your GST enzyme levels over time and help keep them activated, growing and defending for you.
Why Opt For Silk Flowers And Silk Arrangements
by Kathleen Rivero on Mar.06, 2010, under Uncategorized
Did you know that floral arrangements can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians around 2,500 B. C.? Even though such a long time has passed, the principle behind it hasn’t really changed that much, that is, if you base it in their wall carvings and wall writings. They were mainly used in vases and for processions, funerals, and special occasions, usually as table centerpieces. Today, they are still being used for pretty much the same purposes, and more.
People usually see flower arrangements in a positive manner, that is, they are always a delight to behold. Why? This is because they are effective in adding a touch of cheer and liveliness to any room - in homes, stores, shops, and other types of establishments. Generally, they are being used in the form of bouquets, centerpieces for tables, and wreaths. Most of the time, florists can have them arranged according to the occasion and according to your specifications through using the best flowers they have available. Buying floral arrangements is all worth the money you spend on them because of the positive effects that they are able to bring.
Floral arrangements done by florists are worth it as long as you have the money to spare. However, they do have the tendency to be too costly, not only because of the intricacy of how they are arranged but also, because they tend to be expensive as well when florists buy them from flower growers if they do not own their own flower farms. Peak seasons like Valentine’s and Thanksgiving can make floral arrangements balloon in price. Those who badly want to have them simply cannot afford to due to lack of resources.
