			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Hindu thought, chakras are the energy centers of the human body. These are the key points at which our life force move through the body and are what keeps our body and mind functioning properly and in harmony with each other. While you can&#8217;t see your chakras, the major chakras are closely associated with the major parts of your endocrine system (which is tangible).</p>
<p><span id="more-328"></span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Our seven primary chakras each correspond to a particular part of our endocrine system. Everything we experience is intimately related to our chakras.</p>
<p>Stress of all types: whether physical, emotional or mental can cause our chakras to be out of balance with each other. This causes a loss of energy or even physical illness! This is a very clear sign that something is wrong with our chakras.</p>
<p>For our body to reap the benefits of a well-tuned chakric system, they need to be functioning in harmony with one another. Chakra balance is essential to maintain its beneficial function to the human body and to achieve this, regular chakra balancing is necessary much like a car&#8217;s preventive maintenance procedures.</p>
<p>Importance of Chakra Balancing: Many methodologies exist in balancing our chakras and others are continually being explored and developed as the attainment of a perfectly balanced chakra system is the ultimate goal of people who want to enjoy a more fruitful, productive and healthy lifestyle.</p>
<p>This all begins with an understanding that each chakra resonates to a different frequency; these frequencies are naturally occurring and help the chakras to perform their important function of transmitting and receiving energy; also known as prana or chi.</p>
<p>During periods of illnesses, our chakras are still functioning but may be out of synch which can hamper the free flow of energy to further aggravate our physical and/or mental and emotional illness. Other contributory factors to the malfunction of our chakra system are undue stress or the inability to cope, suppressed emotions, unhealthy food intake, and lack of exercise.</p>
<p>Though they may be out of synch and not function at their best from time to time, their balance can be restored.</p>
<p>Tools of Chakra Balancing: The most commonly used ways of restoring chakra balance are light, sound, crystals and gems, aromatherapy and color.</p>
<p>Colors: Commonly used colors and their corresponding chakras are red (root chakra), orange (sacral chakra), yellow (solar plexus chakra), green and turquoise (heart chakra), blue (throat chakra), violet (crown chakra) and white for all chakras.</p>
<p>Crystals and Gems: Gems, crystals and stones have been used in chakra balancing for thousands of years. Each chakra corresponds to a different color, as we now know; so the laying of gems or crystals of the appropriate color on the location of a chakra can help to restore balance. This can help the body properly heal.</p>
<p>The light reflected by these stones can also help by getting this light into the body (and your chakras).</p>
<p>Light: Light therapy uses light on the eyes, the meridian points used in acupuncture and the areas where the body has the strongest reflexes in order to deliver the proper frequencies to restore chakra balance. Light is made up of both visible and invisible frequencies, including those which are beneficial to the chakras. The spectrum of light is very broad, so this is an effective means of chakra balancing.</p>
<p>Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy uses essential oils, scented massage oils and scented bath soaps to assist in the restoration of chakra balance and to help the physical body heal. Aromatherapy can also relieve depression and stress, provide relaxation and aid in meditation.</p>
<p>Sound: The use of tuning forks, soft music, quartz crystal, Tibetan bowls, and other objects to generate an agreeable resonance is also utilized to achieve a healthier well-being. Sound has natural vibration and resonance therapeutic effect because it affects us emotionally. Beautiful and melodious sounds can induce serenity and calm whereas chaotic sounds produce dissension and discord. Sound can be used to achieve a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in order to better faster healing and achieve higher levels of consciousness.</p>
<p>Until very recently, chakra balancing was a difficult process which could take a great deal of time. However, technological advances in the audio field have brought us binaural frequencies, subliminal sound and self-hypnosis recordings; all of which have made chakra balancing much easier to achieve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people have heard of mangosteen even though they may not be available in most western countries. Being a tropical fruit that is not easily imported, it is not easy for American scientists to conduct mangosteen research. Fresh mangosteen has to be imported for a detailed mangosteen research to be conducted effectively.</p>
<p><span id="more-309"></span></p>
<p>A good mangosteen research publication is hard to find but there are many people publishing the health benefits or health claims of mangosteen. They claim that they have done some mangosteen research but whether you trust them or not is a case by case basis. An official report on the health benefits of mangosteen is much needed by mangosteen lovers.</p>
<p>Some companies have biased opinions on the benefits of mangosteen because they want to sell products that are based on mangosteen. The more people believing in how healthy mangosteen is, the more products they will sell. So, a mangosteen research that shows lots of impressive health benefits is desirable.</p>
<p>Not all mangosteen researches cannot be trusted. A mangosteen research that is totally bogus will not fool anyone. A mangosteen research that shows some truth is more believable. After all, people in Southeast Asia and other tropical countries have eaten mangosteen for a long time and are healthy. However, since they also eat plenty of other tropical fruits, it is not clear what fruits are responsible for their good health.</p>
<p>A mangosteen research that got many people hooked on the health benefits of mangosteen is done by a direct sales company called Xango whose products are based on mangosteen. Xango sells Xango Juice, a purple dietary supplement drink that comes in bottles.</p>
<p>Xango has published many facts and findings about how great mangosteen is for your health. A Xango mangosteen research shows that mangosteen has very high antioxidants, much higher than most fruits. However, more mangosteen research is needed to establish whether mangosteen has the highest antioxidants of all fruits.</p>
<p>Xanthones is a term that will not be left out when discussing mangosteen health benefits and mangosteen research. Xanthones are very powerful phytonutrients that benefit the body in many ways. Mangosteen research shows that a mangosteen rind is full of xanthones.</p>
<p>Since most people don&#8217;t eat the rind of the mangosteen when they eat the fruit, it may be healthier to drink a mangosteen juice with plenty of added nutrients that manufactured to ensure that xanthones are not removed. </p>
<p>Lots more research on mangosteen need to be done. Even a good mangosteen research that shows many health benefits of a mangosteen needs to be tested and proven again and again to discount coincidences. The FDA has not confirmed most of the findings from a mangosteen research.</p>
<p>Although, more mangosteen research needs to be done before any concrete evidence is found and conclusive findings published, anyone drinking mangosteen juice or eating this tropical fruit often say that the feel the health benefits from the fruit or juice. Over time, more scientists will conduct mangosteen research and experiments on the fruit and people will know for sure how healthy mangosteen is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve heard of meditation, but what is it exactly? Meditation is a practice that calls for intense concentration on a single thought or object to help focus the mind. The individual tries to turn his or her attention inward.</p>
<p><span id="more-313"></span></p>
<p>Meditation techniques are said to be of Vedic Hinduism origin and are traditionally practiced in the eastern religions. But these days this practice is becoming more and more popular in western societies.</p>
<p>There are any number of reasons why people want to take up meditating. There are those who practice it to help them focus more on God; others aim for personal development. Many people find that it helps them achieve peace of mind and better health. There are even people who hope that when they begin to meditate, they will be enlightened.</p>
<p>Maybe you think that meditating is just another activity you should be doing to become healthier, sort of like dieting or exercising. Almost everyone who starts something new will have a vague sense of what this activity will do for them. However, if you don&#8217;t know what you expect to gain, you most likely won&#8217;t stick with meditating in the long run.</p>
<p>Not having clear objectives can make it difficult to know where to start. It can also lead to discouragement when your expectations aren&#8217;t being met. The best approach is to first of all identify what you want to gain by meditating. Discover as much as possible about the best practices to achieve that objective. After that, just get going.</p>
<p>Theoretically, the practice of meditating is quite easy. Just sit there and concentrate on one thought or object. But in actuality, this is a lot harder than it appears. You might not realize it, but your mind is always racing. This makes it hard to concentrate on just one thing at a time.</p>
<p>So start slowly. Practice your breathing first. This is the heart of meditation. Seat yourself in a comfortable position, then inhale and exhale deeply and regularly for a few minutes. Regular breathing helps you become more focused, a necessary skill for a successful meditation experience.</p>
<p>If you catch yourself thinking about other things while meditating, focus again on your breathing. Meditating is really just about concentration. If you realize that you&#8217;ve gone off track, just gently guide yourself back to the right state of mind. Don&#8217;t get discouraged; learning to meditate takes time, so keep on practicing.</p>
<p>The practice of meditation can lead the way to a calm and peaceful mind. With all the problems we face daily at work, at home, and the world in general, it&#8217;s important that you regularly experience a few minutes of peace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though most doctors agree that ovarian cysts either go away on their own after a few menstrual cycles or must be removed by surgery, some proponents of alternative health believe in all-natural ovarian cyst cures. It is important to have a diagnosis from a doctor before using any natural methods to cure ovarian cysts. Before researching ovarian cyst cures, the individual must know what type and size cyst they have. A cancerous ovarian cyst, for example, is best treated  by a qualified health care professional in a hospital.</p>
<p><span id="more-306"></span></p>
<p>If a patient has functional cysts, natural treatment is sometimes an option. A functional ovarian cyst, even if it recurs, will almost always resolve itself given the passage of time. Using natural treatments is mostly a preventive effort to avoid developing additional cysts. Herbs and proper nutrition can be utilized as ovarian cyst cures to regulate the menstrual cycle, thereby lowering the risk of ovarian cysts.</p>
<p>Women who have had ovarian cysts in the past may want to try to prevent cysts with the use of supplements that are meant to balance hormones, improve immunity, and enhance the function of the liver. Taken over the course of several months and followed up with a doctor&#8217;s care, these supplements can help the body function as it should and be effective as ovarian cyst cures.</p>
<p>Multivitamins and minerals allow individuals to receive some proper nutrition. Likewise, Vitamin C helps boost the immune system, preventing ovarian cysts by attacking unhealthy or abnormal cells. Zinc helps cells reproduce during the normal development of the egg and also helps keep free radical damage to the DNA under control. B-vitamins, on the other hand, balance hormone levels by helping the liver convert excess estrogen into less dangerous substances. Finally, antioxidants protect cells against damage and cell changes.</p>
<p>Individuals with ovarian cysts can take herbs as an ovarian cyst cure. Such herbs work like supplements, balancing hormones and preventing the formation of functional cysts. However, none of these herbs should be taken by women who are taking hormonal medication.</p>
<p>Milk thistle is a very helpful herb.  It is also known as Silymarin marianum.  Milk thistle has properties to help detoxify the liver there by improving it&#8217;s function and removing excess hormones from the body along with destroying abnormal cells and removing the effects of harmful chemicals.  Another herb that is very good is Echinacea, which can improve the body&#8217;s natural defence to fight off infections and abnormal cells, by increasing white blood cells.  Echinacea should not be taken daily, it works best when taken for 10 days and then a 3 day break and then again for 10 days.</p>
<p>If you choose to treat your ovarian cyst naturally, it is still best to ask guidance from your doctor.  Even if supplements and herbs are deemed harmless, you should consult your doctor first before using any unproven ovarian cyst cures.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Walking is a fantastic way to get exercise. It is quintessentially human. Rushing weight loss by excessive walking is not necessary. It may be performed inside on a treadmill or outside, whatever your preference. Here we show you how to do it effectively. Making sure to take at least 10,000 steps each day is a good way to ensure you are getting the minimum amount of necessary daily activity.</p>
<p><span id="more-294"></span></p>
<p>It is a fact that what is measurable can be improved than what is not measurable; let this fact be used to work for you. Do not rely on memory. Keep a journal while you train, recording the date, how long you exercised and how you felt during and after your session.</p>
<p>Sharing your log with your physician may enable you to obtain some valuable extra input.  After you are walking for weight loss regularly for one hour without any residual discomfort, it&#8217;s time to add the distance measurement. Measure the distance you are actually covering. Increase your pace slightly each time until you are covering four miles per walk.</p>
<p>It is not necessary to use exercise machines like treadmill or do special workouts. It depends upon how active you usually are. In general walking at least 10,000 steps each day can be done in conjunction with other types of physical exercise.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t been excercising, start slowly and increase your steps gradually day by day. Don&#8217;t rush the process. Practicing exercises will make them better every time you do them. It&#8217;s like learning to walk. To achieve mastery in anything demands repetition of the appropriate type.</p>
<p>At 4 miles per hour, it can be a very vigorous pace for anyone not used to it. In addition to following the advice of your doctor, guide yourself using your common sense. If you&#8217;re able to walk four miles in an hour, and can do this three times a week, you will get a good result.</p>
<p>If you will be doing an intense fitness and strength training regimen, do no excede 4 mph. If you did this, your chances of overtraining would significantly increase </p>
<p>If this is the first time that you&#8217;ve started taking regular exercise it will not take long before you notice that your walks are accomplishing more than just a reduction in body weight and fat levels. Soon you will improve!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know that curing a toenail fungus can be difficult. It doesn&#8217;t just go away on it&#8217;s own. Here are some valuable tips on how to deal with this ailment in a natural way.</p>
<p><span id="more-289"></span></p>
<p><strong>Curing Toenail Fungus Naturally</strong></p>
<p>Curing toenail fungus can be difficult and can take some time.  This is because the fungus grows under the nails. Also, since the feet are more exposed to the warm, dark and damp environment caused by wearing socks and shoes, they are more susceptible to the infection compared to fingernails.  Toenail fungus rarely goes away on its own and proper treatment is needed for its cure.</p>
<p>What are the symptoms of toenail fungus?</p>
<p>Toenail fungus symptoms are very noticeable.  You can see, smell or feel the infection once it takes hold.  The most observable sign is discoloration.  The infected nails turn yellow, brown and may have white patches and streaks.</p>
<p>Nail infection can also turn into a black color.  There is irregularity in shape, growth and texture of the nail.  It could get flaky, chipped and brittle.  Also, it could become so thick that it causes pain when wearing shoes.  Debris may collect under the nails and infected nails could emit a foul odor.  The nails could also become separated from the nail bed.</p>
<p>If you have any of these symptoms, then have it diagnosed by a doctor.  It is important that you seek professional help right away so that you can proceed with the proper treatment.  The earlier you start treatment, the easier toenail fungus will be to treat.</p>
<p>Oral Medication - Your doctor may recommend oral prescription medication.  These are effective in treating toenail fungus.  However, such anti-fungal prescription medication is unsafe.  In fact, the FDA or Food and Drug Administration issued out a public health advisory during May 2001 regarding two of the most popular prescription medications for the treatment of nail fungus.  The FDA concluded that side effects such as congestive heart failure and hepatic complications occur with these therapies.  Because of such high risks, it is wise to turn to safer and more natural methods in curing toenail fungus.</p>
<p>Home Remedies - A safer method is by using home remedies.  Soaking the infected nails in a fifty-fifty solution of apple cider and hydrogen peroxide for 45 minutes everyday may help cure toenail fungus.  Another home remedy is by using a bleach and water mix, where you soak the infected nails into the solution for about a minute for several days.  However, keep in mind that these home remedies rarely work and is generally ineffective.  The bleach could even irritate your skin.  Relying solely on home remedies is a waste of time, making the fungus even harder to treat.</p>
<p>Topical Creams - The best option would be to use topical solutions.  In looking for a topical solution, make sure that you choose one that is made of natural ingredients such as essential oils found in plants.  Because it is all natural, you are guaranteed that it is safe to use.  And, don&#8217;t rely on topical creams and lotions that don&#8217;t get to the source of the nail fungus.  There is a topical solution that actually penetrates and protects the nail so that it reaches the underlying cause of nail fungus.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this technology obsessed society we live in, most people have simply forgotten about the existence and importance of a spiritual being inside their physical being.</p>
<p><span id="more-285"></span></p>
<p>The Hindu thinking of life, on the other hand, has kept the flame of spiritual-healing burning amidst the growth in science and technology.</p>
<p>Our body actually consists of seven primary and thousands of secondary Chakras. The word Chakra, is a Sanskrit word meaning Wheel of Light, and according to the theory, these Chakras rotate and vibrate continuously in a healthy human body.</p>
<p>And so, an imbalance in the movement of these charkas results in imbalance of the overall healthy functioning of the body. Chakra Balancing then is the key to a healthy body, mind, and soul.</p>
<p>Chakras are Entry Gates of the Aura and the points at which the body receives and absorbs life-force energy. Positioned along the central line of the body from the base of the spine to the top of the head the 7 main Chakras absorb and send out energies to and from the universe, nature, celestial bodies, and even from people.</p>
<p><strong>What distorts Chakra Balancing?</strong></p>
<p>If there is a blockage in one or more of the Chakras, the energy does not flow properly through them, and then ultimately the result will be an imbalance among the Chakras that result in problems in all areas of life.</p>
<p>There are many factors which can cause the distortion of the Chakras. This includes health issues, stress, inappropriate diet, exposure to poisons, lack of exercise, inability to express emotions, untrue beliefs, being unconnected from your higher power, childhood traumas, cultural conditioning, emotional problems etc.</p>
<p><strong>The Importance of Chakra balancing in Health and Happiness</strong></p>
<p>It is very much a utopian idea that the Chakras function completely harmoniously. And so, human effort has always been to try and correct this distortion and strike a fine balance between these Chakras. The idea of self-healing is loosely based on Chakra balancing.</p>
<p>Chakras influence our body shape, glandular processes, chronic physical ailments, thoughts, and behavior. Chakra balancing ensures that these parameters all work towards the goal of a healthy body, mind, and soul.</p>
<p><strong>The usual good effects of Chakra Balancing are</strong></p>
<p>* General happiness and inner peace in body</p>
<p>* Personal health and energy</p>
<p>* Awareness and constant feel with ones body</p>
<p>* Sexually satisfied life without lust</p>
<p>* Awareness of ones feelings at the ethereal level</p>
<p>* Improved capacity to attract and express love in ones life</p>
<p>* Accelerated spiritual growth and development</p>
<p>* Spiritual healing through higher patterns of consciousness, awareness, and acceptance</p>
<p>* A kind and affectionate heart</p>
<p>* Wonderful confidence levels, but short of being over-confident</p>
<p>* Understanding of the True Self</p>
<p><strong>Attaining chakra balancing</strong></p>
<p>Chakra balancing can be accomplished in many ways. You can use one or more of the following methods to successfully balance the Chakras.</p>
<p>* Healing Therapies, such as Reiki</p>
<p>* Yoga (including breathing exercises) and Meditation</p>
<p>* Physical exercise</p>
<p>* Color/Light Therapy</p>
<p>* Crystals and Gems</p>
<p>* Balancing with Pendulums and Hands</p>
<p>* Aromatherapy</p>
<p>* Touch Therapy</p>
<p>* Positive Thinking</p>
<p>* Sound frequencies/vibrations</p>
<p>* Affirmations, using Hypnosis, etc.</p>
<p>Our body is a store house of energy, in which the used energy is disposed of by the body organs, and refilled, with a new supply of energy.</p>
<p>Chakra balancing ensures that this energy is received and consumed by the body, and all of the bodys cells and main organs get the correct amount of this energy.</p>
<p>When your Chakras are returned to their natural frequencies, inner peace, well being and happiness follows. Chakra Balancing is simply getting the Chakras back to their normal state of vibration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bergamot essential oils, subtle and uplifting, uniting one of the most enticing perfume aromas with the transformative potential of this plant&#8217;s powerful healing effects. The light green oil is pressed from the peels of the nearly ripe bitter oranges, with an scent like candy for grown-ups; the bright top note combines a fresh sweet-tart orange with slightly spicy balsamic undertones. A member of the botanical family Rutacae, the Bergamot tree (Citrus bergamia) grows up to 15 feet high and yields small round fruit that look much like miniature oranges. The Bergamot essential oil used in aromatherapy should not be confused with the familiar bergamot plant, also known as &#8216;bee balm&#8217;, an herb indigenous to North America.</p>
<p><span id="more-281"></span></p>
<p> Originating in tropical Asia, the Bergamot tree is now widely grown in Italy; it is named after the Italian city of Bergamo, where the essential oil was first sold for perfumery. The extremely tart fruit  is not edible, thus Bergamot tree being primarily cultivated for its essential oils. It is one of the most popular essential oils used in perfumery - approximately one third of men&#8217;s colognes contain Bergamot, and nearly one half of women&#8217;s perfumes. Bergamot is the magic ingredient in Earl Grey tea, adding natural citrus notes to the black tea&#8217;s flavor.</p>
<p> Fresh Bergamot essential oil has nearly three hundred compounds: mainly linalyl acetate, and  linaool (these are sweet smelling, relaxing molecules also found in Lavender), sequiterpenes, terpenes, alkalines, and furocoumarins. Certain furocourmarins, notably bergapten, have been found to be photosensitizing (causing an increased sensitivity to ultraviolet rays), hence Bergamot should not be heavily used on skin that will be significantly exposed to sunlight in the following seventy-two hours. A &#8216;bergapten-free&#8217; variety is available, and is an excellent choice for massage and skin care formulas.</p>
<p>Bergamot is an excellent antiseptic for use in cases of acne, oily skin, and infected skin. As a natural toner and detoxifier, Bergamot may help to prevent premature aging of the dermis. Bergamot oil is noted to have a slightly irritating effect on the skin in high concentrations, but the opposite healing effects occur when the oil is used at low concentrations (1% or less in carrier oil). Bergamot&#8217;s general deodorizing effects derive from its antiseptic properties, which are also effective against bladder and urinary infections. Adding 3- 4 drops of Bergamot to warm water bath can help bring relief to the early stages of urinary tract infections.</p>
<p>Bergamot essential oil is foremost a miraculous neuro-tonic, and a powerful helper against depression caused by fatigue or unreleased tensions and frustrations. Aromatic massage with the oil is naturally indicated for those with poor circulation, heart palpitations, hypertension, and general stress related dis-ease. Depression due to the stagnation of life-force energy is often the result of accumulated stress and repressed emotions of grief, frustration or anger. A protective oil by nature, Bergamot is indicated whenever the flow of natural energy is disrupted, leading to imbalanced states such as irritability, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Bergamot encourages the release of repressed and inhibited feelings, thus helping to release and decompress. The sparkling and yet gentle floral scent gives the oil a sedative yet uplifting quality with the primary effects being calming, balancing centering and clarifying.</p>
<p> Bergamot is further indicated where anxiety and stress related symptoms present as a loss or change in appetite. Bergamot&#8217;s antidepressant properties and its regulatory effect on appetite offer assistance when used in cases of eating imbalances such as anorexia, emotional eating, and bulimia. A natural carminative, digestive aid and antispasmodic make Bergamot effective in instances of colic as well as helping to reduce gas in the intestines. Bergamot may be used by itself, or in a recipe with other digestive supporting oils like Roman Chamomile, Coriander Seed and Sweet Fennel; an excellent technique is to gently massage a low-dilution formula into the abdomen.</p>
<p> That Bergamot essential oil has found its way into our lives in forms that we inhale, splash on ourselves, and even eat is no mistake. Its most most important and enticing application may be that of the natural mood-enhancer; the yellow-green color of the oil hints to its affinity to the heart and solar plexus, where many of us are challenged to remain open. It is the opening of the heart and a fluid allowing of the emotions that lies at the center of our healing journeys. Using Bergamot through all primary aromatherapy techniques can assist in this process, opening us to freedom and joys in our everyday lives. </p>
<p> Here are a few formulas employing the dramatic antidepressant and emotional-releasing properties using some of these companion oils: To release aggravation and pressure - 2 parts Roman Chamomile, 2 parts Bergamot and 2 parts Sweet Orange. To overcome nervousness and agitation - 3 parts Lavender, 2 parts Neroli and 1 part Bergamot. When frustrated and negative - 3 parts Bergamot, 2 parts Sweet Orange and 1 part Neroli. To enhance relaxation and self-confidence - 2 parts Lavender and 1 part Bergamot. These blends may be used in a diffuser, or diluted to 3% total concentration in one or more carrier oils for a wonderful aromatherapy massage. &#8220;Look in the perfume of flowers and of nature for peace of mind and joy in life&#8221; says Wang Wei, summing up Bergamot&#8217;s wonderful, multifaceted effects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meditation is traditionally regarded as one of the most potent forms of realizing ones spiritual being, and in the process, one can live a healthy and aware life. Different people adopt different meditation styles, but if theres one universally acceptable mode of meditation, that has to be the Chakra Meditation.</p>
<p><span id="more-272"></span></p>
<p><strong>Chakra Meditation &#8221; Basics</strong></p>
<p>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:</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>2. Brow Chakra, also called The Third Eye Chakra, is situated between the brows on the forehead. It is related to the Light element, which governs our perception, interpretation, and visualization.</p>
<p>3. Throat Chakra is situated at the base of the throat. It is related to the Sound element, which governs our creativity, communication ability, and resonance.</p>
<p>4. Heart Chakra is situated right at the center of the chest. It is related to the Air element, which governs our feelings of love, compassion, and general relationships.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>6. Brow Chakra governing your power of imagination, visualization, and interpretation is located between the brows on the forehead and related to the element Light.</p>
<p>7. Crown Chakra located at the top of the head and related to the element thought. It governs consciousness, wisdom, and knowledge.</p>
<p>If you want to reinvent yourself and bring back those vitalizing moments in your life, then theres no substitute to Chakra Meditation. If these vital seven Chakras are rotating in sync, physical, mental, and spiritual well being is assured. Thus, you can safely conclude that Chakra Meditation is the key to overall health of your life, taken as a whole.</p>
<p><strong>Chakra Meditation &#8221; The Process</strong></p>
<p>Chakra Meditation, essentially, involves three steps or techniques:</p>
<p>1. Grounding Technique, which aims at making the body feel connected with Earth. You just need to visualize a root growing from your body and entering into the Earth. This requires intense focus and mental presence during the act of visualization.</p>
<p>2. Centering Technique refers to the process whereby, your body gets prepared to receive the benefits of Chakra Meditation. The actual step involves taking 3-5 deep breaths. And visualization involves the assumption of feeling of relaxation of every body part from toe to head by tightening and relaxing each body part starting from toe, and moving in the northwards direction, till the head. The final act is the visualization of the act of centering a pot on a pottery wheel.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here is a simple method of performing Chakra Meditation:</p>
<p>a) Sit or lie down in a position that is most comfortable for your body.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>c) Breathe in a relaxed manner, which is neither too fast nor too slow. Let the breath come naturally!</p>
<p>d) The next step relates to feeling every part of your body from toe to head in that direction. While your eyes are closed, try to feel everything that you wouldve seen with open eyes, like earth, air, clothes, surroundings etc. The idea is to feel awareness even with closed eyes.</p>
<p>e) You may experience a wave of thoughts, fears, and every kind of emotion during this process. Dont avoid them! This represents the release of stress-related thoughts. With practice and regular exercise, these negative emotions and feelings will disappear.</p>
<p>f) Dont hinder your awareness! Let it flow freely from one part of the body to another.</p>
<p>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!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Located in the joint cartilages, it contains both sugar and protein and the amount found reduces as we age and creates pain in the joints. The Glucosamine supplement is delivered directly to joints and stimulates the proteoglycans present in the joints which is used in repairing cartilage.</p>
<p><span id="more-265"></span></p>
<p>The main distinction between glucosamine supplements is whether they are animal based or plant based. Glucosamine hydrochloride is a very common plant based supplement which is manufactured by the Aspergillus Niger plant. It plays an important role in the human body because it repairs the damaged cartilages and reduces the Arthritis pain. It can treat many Arthritis, but especially Osteoarthritis. When used in skin and face packs, blemishes tracks, dark spots and uneven discoloring are removed. While it can be used to soothe chapped lips and reduce the puffiness and sagging of the eyes, its main purpose is to help eliminate unwanted pigments, scars and wrinkles in the skin. It plays an important role in the formation of skin, bones, tendons ligaments, nails and parts of heart, synovial fluids etc as it is the major component of bones, cartilages, tendons and connecting tissues.</p>
<p>Arthritis and specially Osteoarthritis sufferers benefit from this treatment. When used in skin and face packs, it removes blemishes tracks, dark spots and uneven discoloring. It helps eliminates unwanted pigments, scars and wrinkles in the skin but can also be used to soothe chapped lips and reduce the puffiness and sagging of eyes. Bones, cartilages, tendons and connecting tissues all have this as a major component and it forms skin, bones, tendons ligaments, nails and parts of heart, synovial fluids etc.</p>
<p>Cartilage production is stimulated, further degeneration is prevented and Arthritis in the jaw is treated effectively by targetting the &#8220;Temporomandibular joint&#8221; (TMJ). Human glioma cell division is inhibited by one form, n-acetyl glucosamine, and is used in the treatment of glioblastoma. You can effectively treat Chron&#8217;s disease, ulcerative colitis or other cases of stomach disorder with this same type of Glucosamine. </p>
<p>This wonder chemical is the main component of many products and has a vital role to play.</p>
