Pilates - Beginning Mat Workout

• Easy exercises using the Pilates mat
• Pilates mat workouts can lengthen, strengthen and tone muscles without joint stress
• Pilates Beginning Mat Workout with certified instructor Ana Caban

Pilates is a full-body conditioning exercise program that uses a series of machines and exercises. It works the entire body, both the right and left sides, in unison. It focuses primarily on what Joseph Pilates called the "powerhouse," the group of muscles that begins two inches above and below your navel, then wraps completely around your front and back--kind of like a corset. It also includes your buttocks. The DVD features the Pilates Beginning Mat Workout, plus a bonus workout and intervi

configuring amethysts along the chakra points : san francisco (2013)


Image by torbakhopper
i gotta admit, the difference between meditating with and without these is HUGE.

it’s not just the internal upliftment one feels, there is something organizing and generating to the positioning and locating of weight upon a point — is it emanations or absorptions?

i don’t like metals of any kind and don’t wear rings and watches or necklaces.

but these crystal stones feel oddly delightful.

i never would’ve tried this, but one of the cool gifts i got this year for my birthday (and i got some of the best ever!!!! yeehaw) was three of these and they have perfect form for alignment.

so i tried it

and it is good

Wie das Herz-Chakra funktioniert…

Meine besonderen Wünsche zu Weihnachten

Meine Vorstellung von Menschenrechten

Ich verbreite Zuversicht, statt Angst. Wie?

Ich entziffere neue Bewegungen eines geistigen und technologischen Fortschritts (z. B. im Internet), der bestehende Störungen (Blockaden) in der Gesellschaft und in den Individuen lösen kann.

Angst zum Beispiel ist eine Blockade. Wie lässt sich die Angst vor dem Weltuntergang verringern? Durch positive Nachrichten z. B. über hilfreiche Erfindungen.

Wie lässt sich die Angst vor dem eigenen Versagen verringern? Durch Verstehen der psychologischen Hintergründe, das heißt den Sinn der Angst zu verstehen.

Positive Nachrichten sind lediglich das Gegengewicht zu den Horrormeldungen der Massenmedien.

Der Keim des Verbreitens positiver Nachrichten liegt in meinem Wunsch, für das Recht der Menschen auf Selbstbestimmung einzustehen.

Meine Vorstellung von Menschenrechten liegt nicht allein im Recht auf Arbeit und Gleichheit, vielmehr im Recht auf Freude.

Mit positiven Nachrichten versuche ich, Freude zu verbreiten, so wie ich es mit meinen künstlerisch erstellten Bildern tue, die ich kostenlos für jeden zur Verfügung stelle und zwar unter creative commons bei Flickr.

Das ist meine Form, mich für die Menschenrechte einzusetzen, Tag für Tag.

Und ich glaube, wenn es mehr Menschen gibt, die bewusst positive Nachrichten verbreiten, bildet sich ein optimistisches Gegengewicht zu den düsteren Bildern unter denen viele Menschen leiden.

Jede positive Nachricht ist ein neuer Stern am Himmel.

Zeig deinem Nächsten, dass du ihn liebst. Schick ihm einen Stern zu Weihnachten, schick ihm eine positive Nachricht. Jetzt….

Positive Nachricht:

In diesen Tagen wird das Licht wiedergeboren.
