HEALTHY LIVING RESULTS

Meditation has been around for around two thousand years, it’s been a way of life for mankind. In fact every religion that is practiced by men uses some sort of meditation as a way of achieving a higher form of spiritual consciousness.

From its initial use by religious priests, the practice of meditation has also been gradually employed by ordinary people as they too discovered its various benefits.

If you are not really aware of what meditation is, basically you intensely focus on sounds, objects, ideas, a breathing rhythm, actions or even movements to be able to allow your perception to intensify, you will cut down on your stress levels, enhance relaxation, and gain personal and spiritual growth.

When meditation was first out it originally was only practiced along with some sort of religious traditions to build your spiritual belief higher, but now it is used by several people to help relieve different stresses and pains.

In fact with more understanding of what meditation can do, Western medical practitioners have started to use this more because it’s a better way for one to cope with health issues, it’s also been believed to help alleviate some physical ailments. They have made it part of the regular practice of traditional medical treatment.

It is very interesting that medical clinics and even hospitals are starting to offer the practice of meditation as a method for several of their patients to improve their health. In fact meditation has begun to be used as a method of treatment of some diseases. Also it’s being used as a way of improving overall quality of life for people who are suffering with chronic, debilitating or even incurable illnesses.

Current health care application of meditation focuses on three particular approaches: transcendental meditation, relaxation response meditation and mindfulness meditation (also referred to as mindfulness-based stress reduction).

Meditation centers on the seven major chakras, which correspond to the body’s major endocrine glands, the power and of course the environment of the universe.

If you would practice meditation for at least 30 minutes a day it will contribute to your balanced and harmonious interdependent functions of the major chakras with one another.

As energy continually flows from the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras during meditation the entire body’s biological, emotional and spiritual aspects are equally nourished and balanced and in the process physical, emotional and spiritual toxins are cleansed.

With chakra meditation you will need to have deep concentration, and because of this uninterrupted flow of energy your body will also have a major boost to the chakras and the corresponding endocrine counterparts.

A neat way to look at it is a turbocharger for your body, or even a catalytic converter that will gather outside energy and harness it and channel it out to the different parts of the body and the chakras.

And since your chakras are such a huge part of your body’s physical and metaphysical makeup, with fine tuning of these items our daily lives are affected either directly or indirectly, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and even spiritually.

As previously mentioned, there are various ways to practice chakra meditation; regardless of the methods employed the initial and basic steps are almost all the same; to achieve concentration and allowing the state of focus to spread throughout the whole body.

You will not notice an immediate change from practicing chakra meditation, but more of a gradually change that will slowly take over your thoughts to give you a more positive outlook on life. Meditation is believed to help a person live a better life and be happier both physically and emotionally.

The most notable effect of chakra meditation is that a person’s ability to concentrate and awareness are greatly enhanced even only after a week. Imagine if you are performing chakra meditation for years!

Also other noted benefits of chakra meditation are heightened creativity, better resourcefulness because of better perception. Also another proven benefit of chakra meditation is people tend to sleep much better and deeper, thus they will awake more refreshed in the morning, and overall health will also benefit by getting deeper sleep.

If you practice daily chakra meditations you will also notice a great reduction in the level of stress in all areas of your life. Because you will have better control over your emotions and better patience

It has been proven that overall health and well being are improved when a person practices meditation. You can even help to lower your blood pressure, and this will reduce the chances of heart attacks and strokes in a person. Also meditation will help to reduce stress in a person who is suffering from a chronic health condition; this will allow the person to feel less pain from their problems.

Even if you only practice meditation for half an hour daily you will be surprised on how much it will help to reduce your stress, improve your health, and just in general make your days better, and more productive.

Chakra Meditation is the art of balancing and energizing all the seven energy centers in the body, called Chakras, in order to align the flow of energy through them. Heres a brief description of these seven energy centers, or the Chakras:

1. Root Chakra governing your general health, prosperity and well being is located at the base of the spine and related to the element Earth.

2. Orange Chakra governing your emotions and sexuality is located at the center of abdomen and related to the element Water.

3. Solar Plexus governing your metabolism, autonomy and conviction is located just above the naval region and related to the element Fire.

4. Heart Chakra located at the center of the chest and related to the element Air. It governs love, compassion, and relationships in our lives.

5. Throat Chakra governing your sense of creativity, resonance and communication skills is located at the base of the throat and related to the element Sound.

6. Brow or The Third Eye Chakra located between the brows on the forehead and related to the element Light. It governs perception, interpretation, imagination, and clear vision.

7. Crown Chakra governing your wisdom and knowledge is located at the top of the head and related to the element thought.

A concentrated mind working towards the achievement of synchronized movements of these seven Chakras in the body can truly bring incalculable rewards in ones life. The body, mind, and soul would become stress-free and youll emerge as a better-informed human being who can easily see the spiritual side to every materialistic possession in this world. One can also achieve natural healing for bodily and mental ailments just by bringing the seven energy centers in consonance with each other.

Chakra Meditation Unleashed

Chakra Meditation involves three techniques in this order:

1. Grounding Technique. As is evident from its name, the Grounding Technique makes your body feel connected with the Earth. The application of this technique is pretty simple. Just visualize a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth. Easier it may sound, but requires intense concentration and mental awareness while performing the Grounding Technique.

2. Centering Technique. This technique is vital as it prepares your body to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. Again, the application of this technique is not too difficult. Just take 4-5 deep breaths and feel every body part from head to toe getting relaxed. This process involves tightening and relaxing each body part from toe, and then visualizing the act of a potter who centers a pot on the pottery wheel.

3. Relaxation Technique refers to the process whereby, the body feels relaxed by an act of visualization that suits an individual the best. Every individual is free to adopt his or her own relaxation method.

Here is one of the most common methods of performing Chakra Meditation:

a) Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.

b) Every stress-causing factor should be addressed and effort should be made to reduce or eliminate the stress as far as possible. Start with loosening the clothing you are wearing. Identify other similar straining factors and eliminate them. And finally, close your eyes.

c) Breathe in a relaxed manner, which should be neither too fast nor too slow. The idea is to give up the control on your breath, and let it flow naturally, but healthily.

d) Start feeling every part of your body from toe to the head in that direction. While your eyes are closed, feel the earth you are lying or sitting on, or the bed you are lying or sitting on, feel the aura around you, feel the clothes you are wearing. Feel everything youd have had your eyes been open. Visualize life in darkness!

e) Initially, your efforts will be met with stiff resistance from negative thoughts and emotions. Dont suppress them! Theyll disappear with time and practice.

f) Dont hinder your awareness! Let it flow freely from one part of the body to another.

Chakra Meditation can be performed by anyone at convenient hours. There is no rule for the duration of time to perform Chakra Meditation. Suit your comfort levels!

The Food and Drug Administration has granted approval for Januvia, the first diabetes oral treatment approved in a new class of drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors that enhance the body’s own ability to lower elevated blood sugar.

Patients will use the drug, in addition to diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar levels to control type 2 diabetes. Januvia may be used alone or in combination with two other commonly prescribed oral diabetes medications, metformin or a PPAR agonist, when either of these drugs alone, along with diet and exercise, don’t provide adequate blood sugar control.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease, accounting for about 90 percent to 95 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes cases have surged in recent years, due in part to the dramatic rise in obesity. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin.

Insulin is necessary to take sugar, the basic fuel for cells, from the blood into the cells. Over time, high blood sugar levels can increase the risk for serious complications, including heart disease, blindness, nerve damage, and kidney damage. The drug prolongs the activity of proteins that increase the release of insulin after blood sugar rises, such as after a meal and does this by blocking an enzyme which breaks down these proteins, leading to better blood sugar control.

Januvia was examined in a total of 2,719 patients with type 2 diabetes, in studies lasting from 12 weeks to more than a year. These studies demonstrated improved blood sugar control when Januvia was used alone or in patients not satisfactorily managed with metformin or a PPAR agonist.

As a DPP-4 inhibitor, Januvia can help increase a hormone called GLP-1. GLP-1 is produced in the gut after a meal and helps the body produce insulin, stops the liver from making too much glucose, helps with glucose moving from the blood into muscle and adipose tissue, and also signals a feeling of satiety or fullness.

Dr. Mario Ehlers, the chief medical officer at Seattle-based Pacific Biometrics notes that there is already a drug on the market that mimics the effects of GLP-1, namely Byetta, which was approved about a year ago and is co-marketed by Amylin and Lilly. Byetta, however, has to be injected twice a day, like insulin. Januvia has very similar effects as Byetta but is active as an oral tablet. Januvia appears to be less potent than Byetta but it has fewer side effects; in particular, it does not cause the nausea that is common with Byetta.

According to Ehlers, the most exciting thing about both Byetta and Januvia is that these drugs have been shown in animals to restore the function of beta-cells, which are the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.

Type 2 diabetes is thought to result from a combination of insulin resistance and failure of the beta cells to produce enough insulin to overcome resistance to the action of insulin. Indeed, progressive beta-cell failure is thought to be the main reason why type 2 diabetes progressively gets worse and patients typically have to add more oral drugs and eventually need to take insulin.

“It still has to be proven in humans, but potentially Byetta and Januvia, together with diet and exercise, may slow the progression of diabetes and might even halt or reverse the disease.

This would have tremendous public health implications, and it could reduce the need for insulin shots in patients with late-stage type-2 diabetes,” says Dr. Ehlers whose laboratories specializes in testing pharmaceuticals for metabolic diseases such as diabeties.

The most common side effects in clinical studies were upper respiratory tract infection, sore throat, and diarrhea.

If you want to know what the long-term effects of MMS are when you use it consistently, read on. Oftentimes, the supplement may give you nausea, but you may be surprised to know that it may also produce inflammation. When done over the short term, inflammation can be beneficial, in that it can increase blood flow to tissues and give them the nutritional support they need to heal. However, if your immune system remains on “high alert,” where you are experiencing inflammation beyond just its necessary function of removing microbes and diseased tissue, inflammatory response can become detrimental to you. In fact, inflammation can damage your body if it stays in place over the long term, and is thought to be at least partially the cause behind many chronic diseases today.

Chlorine dioxide works so effectively to kill microbes because it’s an oxidizer, and a powerful one at that. Substances that can oxidize within your body generally give you a strong immune response, which is why inflammation is often a nearly immediate response and can actually be necessary when the body is healing. Inflammation is the body’s way to take care of the healing process and speed it up by giving additional nutritional support to the area that needs it, and it also makes it much faster and easier for the body to remove its metabolic wastes. Of course, inflammation is unpleasant in the short term, but it may very well be that short term inflammation is necessary to maintain health. Unfortunately, traditional medicine states that any inflammation is bad, and therefore this natural response is often suppressed with anti-inflammatory medications specifically designed to suppress inflammation. And that unfortunately means that the body’s natural defenses against disease are thwarted before they can ever get started.

Chronic diseases in general are much more common as we get older. That means that any chronic pathology is going to slowly strip the body of its natural antioxidant supplies, and using MMS over a longer time will exacerbate this even more. As you can probably guess, then, it’s important that you supplement with additional antioxidant support as you consume MMS. Consuming additional antioxidants should be done separately from MMS, as if you consume your antioxidants too close to gather with MMS, they’ll cancel each other out, were in effect neutralized each other so that they have no effect. So if, for example, you take MMS before breakfast and before bedtime, take your antioxidants near the middle of the day.

This applies to antioxidants in the form of supplements, such as vitamin E, C and also B complex, grape seed extract, and coenzyme Q10. Foods that are rich in antioxidants such as berries, turmeric, polyunsaturated oils, Green tee, and fresh fruit are also best taken and consumed apart from MMS.

As ascorbic acid is such a powerful supplement for the protection of oxidant sensitive structures such as the brain, eyes and heart. When consuming vitamin C, make sure to consume it at least 1 - 2 hours either side of the MMS protocol, as upon contact with the chlorine dioxide molecule, neutralization will take effect.

If you’ve somehow gotten hold of sodium chlorite and have ingested it, ingesting a large amount of clean (drinkable) water mixed with ascorbic acid should be taken over a period of two hours, because you can neutralize the chlorine dioxide compound in this way. After you’ve done this, if you need further relief, you can induce vomiting to get rid of anything left in the stomach.

Keep in mind that too much of anything is not something to be desired. It’s also true of MMS. So be careful, and remember that being in good health takes careful attention to many things, because it occurs in many different facets of your diet and lifestyle. Over time and with diligence, your body will naturally strive towards equilibrium, and allow your body to return to its natural state of health.

Jim Humble’s invention, the Miracle Mineral Supplement, has been used for a lot of different diseases over the years, which has led to a lot of documented information as to how this supplement can best be used. The protocol is different whether the condition you suffer from his chronic or acute, and reading further will tell you which is best for what.

In acute conditions, such as a Malaria infection, it is recommended ingesting 15 drops immediately and then another 15 drops two hours later. It’s interesting to note that when faced with acute type conditions such as a snake bite or food poisoning, one is much less likely to experience nausea from having the same dose when suffering from a chronic condition.

If your condition is chronic, by contrast to the acute condition, you should begin slowly and build up over a space of a few days to 15 drops three times a day. This is easier to suggest than to do, because in most cases, you’re going to experience some sickness and some nausea. Because this is so, it’s best perhaps to have these reactions later in the program rather than at the beginning. Nonetheless, if you choose your times to ingest MMS wisely, you can make a big difference in these sorts of unpleasant side effects. One of the things that can help, for example, is if you take your MMS in the morning an hour after your first meal, and then in the evening just before bed. If you do this, it’s been said (through much feedback) that a lot of the nausea can be avoided — perhaps not all of it, but its effects will certainly be much less severe if you are asleep when it occurs.

If suffering an acute infection, a different methodology is suggested. Acute conditions require a beginning dose of 4 - 5 drops with the subsequent increase in dosage to happen quite quickly, regardless of sickness or possible encounters with nausea. As mentioned above, a double dose of roughly 13 - 15 drops is required for poisonings, snake bites and the like.

If a sinus infection is experienced it has been found that by breathing in the chlorine dioxide fumes given off by the mixture of one drop of MMS to five drops of citric acid is very effective - although it can prove to be quite irritating to the sensitive sinus tissue, so be careful!

If an individual suffers from inflamed skin conditions it has been shown that by bathing the affected area with a suitable solution of chlorine dioxide much relief can be had. Conditions such as long standing psoriasis have disappeared within weeks after this treatment.

Again, if you experience an infection in the mouth, such as with abscessed teeth or gums, use a solution of seven drops MMS, rinsed through the mouth and gargled. This has also been shown to be highly effective. As with any other type of protocol, experiment with dosages to see what may be best for you.

With tissue burns, there have been some amazing results with pure MMS solution. This remains inactivated as long as no citric acid used. After tissue burns have happened, the area becomes very acidic. If you apply a solution with a pH of about 13, acid byproducts are neutralized almost immediately. You should remove any solution from the skin within 30 seconds, because pure MMS is very caustic and can make the burn worse than it was previously. However, if you do this correctly, the burn will heal up to four times more quickly than it would if it were left untreated.

Chlorine dioxide can be an extremely useful tool if you use it properly, so it is suggested that you use MMS as suggested in Jim Humble’s protocol; if you use it for other applications than those it’s prescribed for, you should use common sense and make sure you follow the information as discussed above.

To your best health.

In the modern world it is very important to keep on reinventing yourself to ensure that you can achieve desired success, equally important is to refresh the energy and desire in you so that you can push yourself to do your best.

Along with physical ability and strength your mental and spiritual stability is also very important for your constant growth. The chakras within you play an important role as these points of spiritual energy offer a great deal to your character and wisdom; they act as the intermediaries between the soul and the physical body.

In order to reach your goals it is important that the strength and energy lying within you are transformed into performance and here is where the chakras play a defining role. The only thing that you need to be careful about is that these chakras require being refreshed periodically or else their efficiency might reduce.

Since each chakra in our body has relevance with various aspects we need to understand and ensure that all of them are paid adequate attention, the seven chakras in your body lie between the bottom of your spine and the head.

Clearing chakras involves the release of the toxic energy within the body into the environment and capturing the positivity from the surroundings.

Certain moves in the clockwise direction help to get in the positive energies while opposite movements are required in order to get rid of the negativity.

Also in the process of clearing chakras you might experience a little pain in body parts but that is just an indication of the occurrence of the process of energy exchange.

It is believed that the circles or the chakras in your body derive energy from the planets and the heavenly bodies and allow the human mind, body and soul to function in the right direction.

It is often observed that you reinvent yourself every time with the act of clearing chakras and a lot of people do it periodically though the length of the period may vary from daily to weekly to biweekly.

It is often seen that once you have performed the act of clearing chakras, your response to situations not only becomes quicker and wiser but you also tend to come up better options and ideas. You will realise that people would come in contact with a new dimension of your nature and character.

The process of clearing chakras can start by paying attention to 1-2 of the circles of energy in your body and in the process try to get all your chakras cleared as only then you will be able to enjoy the advantage of your energies. People would be able to experience peace of mind as well as they tend to be relaxed.

Once you are parts of your body that relate to a particular chakra are understood you just need to use your feeling sensation to find the part which has a problem and work out on the corresponding chakra.

You require to be fit mentally as well as physically in order to survive in the prevailing competition, also you have to ensure that all your energies are channelized in the rights direction as if not adequate ratios are maintained in exchange of energies and certain chakras are not given the attention they deserve, the overall performance may be affected.

Over a period of time many practising the methods to clear and refresh their chakras have found this to be an advantageous affair. This has led to an awareness and interest in the methodology and the pros of the chakras.

The chakras if implemented correctly would get you glory, fame and name and all things you have desired. It brings your life oozes of fresh energy.
