Когато нашите чакри са блокирани, се появява чувство на физически и психически дискомфорт

Когато нашите чакри са блокирани, се появява чувство на физически и психически дискомфорт

Първа чакра – „Аз съм“
Това е първата чакра, коренната, която отговаря за връзката ни със Земята. Когато се страхуваме, изпитваме несигурност и страдаме от нерешителност, първа чакра блокира. Ако се вгледате в страховете с и и ги погледнете „очи в очи“, ще видите, че можете да ги подхраните с любов и да ги трансформирате. Демонът на първа чакра е страхът.

Втора чакра – „Аз чувствам“
Когато не сме удовлетворени от отношенията си с хората, осъждаме околните, чувстваме вина и не можем да прощаваме, блокираме тази чакра, която отговаря за реализацията ни и потребностите ни. Тези блокажи могат да доведат до здравословни проблеми и чувство на безизходица, ако не застанете срещу проблемите и не ги решите. Променете гледната точка! Демонът на втора чакра е вината.

Трета чакра – „Аз правя“
Третата чакра е свързана с намеренията ни, това е енергийният център на тялото ни. Когато ни завладее срам или разочарование, тогава трета чакра блокира. Когато осъзнаем ясно какво ни води към тези чувства, когато спрем осъждането на всички нива трета чакра е разблокирана. Срамът е демонът на трета чакра.

Четвърта чакра – „Аз обичам“
Сърдечната чакра блокира, когато в сърцето ни се загнезди мъка и скръб. Апатията, която завладява човека, когато четвърта чакра е блокирана е особено вредна, защото пречи да се види обективно ситуацията и да се направи нужното, за да се свали блокажа. Благодарността и способността да намираме положителното в ситуацията помагат, за да работи четвърта чакра без блокажи. Демонът й е тъгата.

Пета чакра – „Аз говоря“
Блокажите на пета чакра (гърлена чакра) идват от самозалъгването и нуждата да лъжем околните и себе си. Ако често се обиждате и смятате, че ви обиждат несправедливо гърлената чакра блокира. Сякаш не можете да говорите, появява се силно чувство за малоценност. Демонът на гърлената чакра е лъжата!

Шеста чакра – „Аз виждам“
Това е чакрата на третото око, отговаря за духовната ни същност и подсъзнанието. Когато животът ви е самотен и изпълнен с илюзии, шеста чакра блокира. Отворете ума и съзнанието си и слезте на Земята, човек трябва да има реални стремежи и да не се смята за повече от другите. Медитацията и усамотението са методите за изчистване. Демонът на шестата чакра е илюзията.

Седма чакра – „Аз разбирам“
Коронната чакра е връзката ни с космическата енергия. Ако сте отявлени материалисти, то коронната чакра блокира, защото губите връзката с Божественото. Освободете се от етикета „мое“ и желанието за притежание. Когато сте безпристрастни, Божественото ще ви обгърне. Демонът на коронната чакра е привързаността.

The Eden Prescription

The Eden Prescription


Blood Orange Compound Stops 100% of Lung Cancer Growth in vitro: Blood oranges get their unique red coloring thanks to a powerful antioxidant called C3G (cyanidin-3-glucoside) which is not found in normal oranges (but is also found in blackberries, strawberries, black currants and cranberries). Researchers have now discovered C3G to be powerfully active against lung cancer cells (A549), completely halting their growth in vitro, and when fed to mice with lung cancer it reduced lung tumors by 50% and suppressed metastasis by over 70%. But the health benefits of blood orange don’t stop there. A recent clinical trial on adults at high risk for heart disease showed that drinking two cups of blood orange juice daily for one week provided major health benefits, significantly improving arterial elasticity and decreasing important inflammation markers, thereby theoretically reducing their risk for heart disease. A further clinical trial is being run now to test blood orange juice for improving cholesterol, blood sugar and insulin. In addition, two fascinating studies on mice have shown that this super fruit suppresses weight gain and prevents fat accumulation in the liver, suggesting that blood oranges may even help with weight loss. And alkaline diet fans take note, blood oranges are particularly rich in potassium, delivering 150% of the alkalizing power of lemons!

13 Reasons Every Woman Should Masturbate Regularly

13 Reasons Every Woman Should Masturbate Regularly

Screw diamonds, a little DIY is a girl's best friend.

Historically, masturbation has gotten a bad rap, but a party for one is still a party. And this is one party you'll actually feel better after attending. Masturbation has some awesome health benefits and feels really really good.

Research shows most women over the age of 18 have masturbated at least once, but few women do so routinely. According to Indiana University's National Survey Of Sexual Health And Behavior, only 7.9 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 29 masturbate two to three times a week whereas 23.4 percent of men do. C'mon ladies, we deserve better than that.

Masturbation is a normal, enjoyable and healthy experience. It's time to put the taboo subject of women and masturbation to bed and realize a little menage a moi might be exactly what you need.

The Huffington Post spoke with Dr. Lauren Streicher, an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University and author of Sex Rx: Hormones Health And Your Best Sex Ever, about the health benefits of masturbation. She said that masturbation can benefit your health by helping you sleep, relieving stress and simply being more comfortable with your body. She also noted that, similar to working out or getting a massage, self-stimulation is a great way for you to relax both emotionally and physically. Instead of buying an expensive massage, you can just stay in and give yourself one.

So, dim the lights, burn some candles and hop into bed (or whatever your routine may be) -- it's time to partake in a little self exploration. Here are 13 reasons every woman should masturbate on the reg:

1. It makes you happier.
“We know that pleasure makes people feel good," Streicher said. It's really that simple. Orgasms release the endorphins dopamine and oxytocin, which can improve your mood and create a natural high. Who needs drugs when you can make your own?

2. You become more comfortable with your body.
Your body should be your best friend -- it's one of the only things that will be with you your entire life. And part of becoming besties with your body includes exploring it. “It is extremely important that women have an appreciation of their own anatomy and how to self-pleasure,” Streicher said. Time to hit the books, ladies.

3. It can improve your sex life.
Masturbation allows you to explore your body and find out what feels best. Knowing your body in this way can make you more confident in bed and more vocal with partners. Once you figure out what you like, you can tell your partner where to touch you.

4. It helps you sleep.
There's a reason most of us feel so sleepy after those toe-curling climaxes: Orgasms physically and emotionally relieve tension and exhaust the body, which allow you to fall asleep quicker. “Generally people do sleep better after masturbating, but very often it’s from feeling relaxed and satisfied," Streicher said. Masturbation helps people sleep the same way reading a book before bed does -- you feel calm and relaxed after.

5. It's a great way to release sexual tension.
If you've chosen to not have sex or are simply going through a dry spell, masturbating is a great way to satisfy your libido.

6. Masturbating can ease body aches and menstrual pain.
“If you have a uterine contraction while self-stimulating and a uterine contraction can help menstrual blood come out faster... theoretically it’s going to help with cramps,” Streicher said. While she cautioned that the research behind this benefit is relatively limited, Streicher said there's no reason not to masturbate while on your period: “It’s never a bad thing and if it seems to help you then go for it.” Either way, it's more fun than a heating pad.

7. It relieves stress.
“Anything that makes you feel more relaxed and gets you to turn off the day, whether you do yoga or get a foot massage, it’s all the same thing," Streicher said. "It’s not that it has to be sexual but sex and self-stimulation is definitely one of the ways to relieve stress." Sounds like an awesome way to unwind.

8. Masturbation helps your body stay sexual... even when you're not having sex.
“If you’re between partners, there’s a very strong benefit to keeping things going by self-stimulating -- not only in terms of keeping the tissues elastic and healthy and increasing blood flow, but just getting your brain going," Streicher said. "We know that sex and arousal starts in the brain… The more sex you have, the more sex you want because you think about sex more. If you have someone who hasn’t been sexual for a very long period of time, in most cases, they’re not even thinking about it."

9. There are tons of cool gadgets to help you masturbate.
From hands-free vibrators to buzzing faux lip stick bottles, there's a vibrator for every lady.

10. If you're in a relationship, it's a great way to mix things up -- and keep you coming back for more.
As Streicher noted, the more sex you have, the more sex you'll want to have. It follows that the more you masturbate and become comfortable being sexual with your own body, the more you'll want to be sexual with your partner. "We know that being self-sexual is going to stimulate the part of the brain that is going to keep your libido alive and well," Streicher said.

11. Multiple. Orgasms.
Understanding how your body works helps you know exactly how to pleasure it. Once, twice, three times -- it's up to you! Climax is often times only at the end of sex for men, but women can keep going. Why stop at one?

12. There are no downsides to it.
Masturbation has "absolutely zero negative effects," Streicher said. "Nothing bad can happen from doing it -- you can’t catch anything, you can’t get pregnant, you’re not going to get sick. It’s the best thing out there as far as a feel-good vice that isn’t going to have any negative repercussions.”

13. It feels f*&^%$! amazing.
No explanation needed.
