Compassion – a painkiller for your mind
When we experience physical pain, we reach out for painkillers. But when it comes to emotional pain, there seems to be no reliable way to find relief. As a result, many turn into anti-depressants, alcohol and other self-destructive options.
When we experience emotional pain, we tend to become entangled in self-defeating thoughts. All we think about is our suffering, our pain.
There is an effective and safe remedy to relieve emotional pain without resorting to pills, or abusing substances. Best of all, this remedy is available to everyone for free. It’s called compassion.
The word compassion comes from the Latin word compati meaning “to suffer together”. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines compassion as “the sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.”
Thus, compassion works by making us forget our problems as we help others deal with theirs. If you are in the middle of emotional turmoil, activate your compassionate side – it works wonders.
Compassion can be likened to a painkiller, except that physical painkillers offer temporary relief whereas compassion has long-term effects. Scientific researches endorse the therapeutic power of compassion.
According to a study published in the journal of Experimental Social Psychology, those who demonstrated high levels of compassion for others were more receptive to social support, enabling them to better handle acute psychological stress and maintain overall well-being.
Although compassion is an inherent aspect of all human beings, in most people, it remains a dormant virtue.
What makes compassion really worth the shot is that not only does it help alleviate our own pain but it also helps lessen another person’s agony.

The Correct Way of Eating Fruits
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths.It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know how and when to eat.
- IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
- FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the
fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....
- So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals!
- Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
- There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter.
- If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits,
you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
- When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans.
Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. - But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body.
- Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

No few candles to glow
No new cracker to blow
Heart’s filled with goodness and peace
Bringing smile on few people’s face
Seeing people happy to the surround
Enlightening the soul out-of-bound
It is believed the Goddess Ma Laxmi visits to them
Those who buy gold and decorate lavishly the room
I perceive God loves harmless and honest soul
! God showers blessing to them, as well !

sailing forlorn
Sailing out the dinghy
Presuming, knew the destiny
Now, no soar is visible
Un-ending journey to trail
Unsecured and fear in mind
Of a forlorn journey ahead
Endless and need to cover
Can be pleasant or stormy, but a due for the loner
Can be pleasant or stormy, but a due for the loner
And to be loved, cared and so nurtured
Now, left out utterly abandoned
It might not be a dream, thus, its greed

Feeling Personal
As, you are giving, more I deserve
If you are coming to me forever,
This moment not letting me know how I care
I wish everything to give you, spiritual and material
To make your surroundings brighten blissful
Nevertheless you know, I don’t have anything to give
Only I can adore you with my true love.
And, I don’t have much strength to tell you to go and settle
As if, I am longing for you for years, through my past life !

RUB YOUR TUMMY AWAY~~~~~~
You can rub your stomach away effortlessly using nothing but your hand -- for only 2 minutes a day ?
This may sound hard to believe, but Dr. Stephen Chang, an M.D. and Ph.D. who's trained in both Western and Chinese medicine, states that this simple 2-minute internal exercise, which does not come from Western medicine, but rather from the wisdom of ancient Chinese sages -- has been used successfully as a self-healing mechanism for over 6,000 years.
Whatever you do, don't confuse this internal exercise with the external exercises of the Western world, such as sit-ups, crunches and other movements that only firm up the underlying stomach muscles ... but do nothing to melt the fat surrounding those muscles.
According to Dr. Chang, losing weight is a simple matter of increasing the efficiency of the digestive system. If you've ever wondered why you fail to shed pounds even when you reduce your food and/or caloric intake -- the reason is because your digestive and eliminatory systems are not functioning efficiently.
The following 2-minute exercise works like a gentle colonic irrigation that helps speed up a sluggish digestive system (which usually carries at least 5 pounds of fecal matter within it), and this elimination of useless sludge has the effect of burning off excess fat. The exercise effectively metabolizes the fatty tissues around the stomach and intestines, and flushes them out of your body through blood, sweat, urine, and feces.
Here's how to do the stomach-rubbing exercise:
1) Lie flat on your back on your bed or on the floor. Take your top off or pull it up so that your
abdominal area is bare.
abdominal area is bare.
2) Rub your hands together vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until they feel hot.
3) Place one of your hands directly on your belly
button and begin to rub in small circles around
your belly button, and gradually make the circles
larger (as shown in the diagram). Use fairly firm
but comfortable pressure and rub at a slow, even
pace, approximately 1 circle per second.

and throughout your stomach.

duration of 2 minutes or more.
Note: It is important to keep the abdominal area warm while doing the exercise, especially during winter months when even heated indoor air tends to be cool.
For best results, do this routine twice a day for 2 minutes -- first thing in the morning (before breakfast) and just before you go to bed. Most people see noticeable results within 1 week of consistent practice.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the stomach is the center of energy. Massaging the stomach in the manner described above therefore accomplishes more than just melting away adipose tissue (fat). It also ...
* stimulates the abdominal organs
* helps speed up slow digestion and remedies constipation
* increases blood circulation in the abdominal area
* helps heal indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and the adverse effects of overeating
