Meditation – Different Types of Meditation
Jan 7th
What is meditation? Where can I get it and how much does it cost? Will it reduce wrinkles or help me find my true love – ….
When at a party or social event, in casual conversation with a stranger or at coffee break with a colleague, this question often pops up, and, if you’re a practicing meditator, normally, you would be open to discussing your experience.
But even non-practitioners who have a general interest in different types of meditation are also very keen to discuss it.

The story of tiger balm goes back very far in time. The Chinese tradition using plants applied externally in various forms (ointment, oil, lotion, and poultice) is very old, dating thousands of years.

Avatar epidemic – Thank you, doctor!
Mar 4th
by D. Pulsar
We are in the midst of the Avatar epidemic. The blockbuster is having such a triumphant run, that it feels almost blasphemous to switch on critical faculties, when most people are emitting rich and colorful waves of Avatar adoration. It is difficult too. The mind lies enveloped in a strange comfort, like a snake which just swallowed a juicy, vigorous rodent. Stupidly, I went poking at it with a stick. That pathological need to get to the bottom of things is not, in fact, an enviable trait. Most of the time you dislike what you find, and dressing More >
Befriend your Time – Make yourself more efficient
Mar 1st
By Victor Terent
Time. It’s always present in our life. Mostly the lack of it. It’s probably the biggest abstract concept that we need to deal with “all the time“.
And paradoxically enough, we need to think, talk about and handle, not actual subject but something that it is the absence of.
One might say – Sure, that’s the way to talk about abstract things – discuss what they are not. Here lets deliberate a little, not going too much into philosophical matters.

Coconut Water, Health Benefits, and Information You Need to Know By Cory Henig
Coconuts are always a tasty treat and usually we add the meat to desserts, most people fear that coconuts are fattening and bad for you, this is quite far from the truth.

Different kinds of Chinese tea
Dec 5th
Author: Deshan
This short essay is devoted to different kinds of tea. All kinds of drinks can be called “tea” in the West — for example, chamomile tea, roibush tea, and even South American mate as well. I am not going to cover any of these here, but rather write about the different kinds of tea made from the original tea plant. Most of the wide variety of Chinese teas that we can find are made from the leaves of just one kind of a plant. Sounds unusual? The trick to making a multitude of teas, with sometimes radically different tastes, More >
Positive Affirmations: Use Your Self-talk to Create What You Want
Dec 4th
Author: Marelisa Fabrega
Affirmations are simply statements that we make to ourselves; it’s our self-talk. You use affirmations all the time, whether you’re doing so intentionally or unintentionally. If you make a mistake and you think to yourself, “I’m always making mistakes, I never do anything right”, you’ve just made a negative affirmation. If instead you make a mistake and you think to yourself, “That’s OK, I have the ability to correct this”, you’ve just made a positive affirmation.
Your self-talk has an enormous impact on your conscious and subconscious minds. By repeating positive affirmations you can reprogram your thought patterns. Creating More >

Benefits of Tea – Transformation of Old tradition
Nov 24th
By Deshan
It’s impossible to speak about Ireland and never mention tea. It’s a well-known fact that at any given moment somebody is drinking tea within the territory of Ireland. Its territory is relatively small, but at the same time Ireland boasts the greatest amount of drunk tea per head. Research shows that many Irish citizens will drink more than 6 cups of tea per day, with the average consumption being 4 cups of tea. Drinking tea in Ireland has become a part of everyday life — wake up, have breakfast with a cup of tea, stop for a tea break More >
