The importance of communication!!
We experience it every day don't we?
How do you communicate? Do you communicate?
Talking with my friend Larissa yesterday, we reflected on this.

We all know the feeling of liberation and peace after we finally said what we wanted to say. It is not an easy task, it always depends on circumstances and the people you are talking to.
But sometimes we wait so long to say what we really think , that it becomes a weight, it becomes a living alien inside your body, it becomes a disease.
A lot of people suffers from disorders, just because they keep every concern and fear and worry for themselves.
The lack of communication turns into misconception , misunderstanding, and arguments.
Of course there are different ways to communicate. It can be by mail, text message, by phone, touch, gestures, but nothing beats the one on one.
It can be scary sometimes but it is the only true way to understand and share people feelings and thoughts.
I'm trying my best every day to communicate as best as I can, because I like that feeling of peace that I feel each time that I express my thought, or my concern and ideas. when I do that it benefits my soul and my body.
I always encourage people to not be afraid to speak up, trust me it is good for you and for the other person you are speaking to.

Be healthy, Be Happy.

On gratitude!!


Gratitude: (noun)
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness: she expressed her gratitude to the committee for their support.



I'm grateful for Ceshada Chambers who came to me last night and said '' I love your blog and your website, it is like you are talking to me''. She really touch my heart, because if I can touch someone life, that is the greatest gift I can receive. Thank you Ceshada.

It's not easy to have gratitude because we want so much all the time, and sometimes we have so much already, we don't even see it or appreciate it.
I think gratitude come easy when you have less, or when you going through a struggle.
You just see things in a new light, you understand what is really important.
Gratitude is the hardest when you need to have it for your struggle, your disease, or the people who hurt you.

It can take forever to do that, and to keep a grudge is easier than to have gratitude. We all know that.
But when we reach that point, when we acknowledge and accept that we needed that disease, those people, that struggle to grow, to become a better person, to be stronger. It is such a relief and it feels so good.
That inner peace is gratitude, it's priceless, it's enlightenment.

Today I'm grateful, for the kind words of Ceshada, for my dear friends who are supporting me in all my endeavour, and I'm so lucky to have many of you, for my family, for my mentor in faith Daisaku Ikeda, for everyone who gives me an opportunity to grow and discover my real self, for the healthy food I eat every day, for my imperfect life..

Health starts with feeling good inside, feeling good starts with gratitude!!

Be Healthy, Be Happy

Peace

NONI JUICE, POWER JUICE!!

I've tried it and I like it.
I knew already about the benefits of the Noni juice and I tried a few years ago..but I really didn't stop and notice what it was doing to me.
Last month when I was in Paris, my friend gave me a bottle of Noni juice that his Mother made herself.
She is leaving on the island of Guadeloupe , where you can find the Noni fruit.
He told me that the process of juicing it is pretty long and difficult, that is why it is so expensive. Anyway the Noni that he gave me was total raw natural juice. The taste and the smell is very strong, but I can tell you that I felt the results right away.
I'm someone who suffers with deep fatigue especially when I have Pms , well guess what? No more fatigue for me, that is the first thing that I noticed, more energy and stamina, yes yes.
I just feel physically strong. I would recommend it to anyone, and try to get the most organic one you can get.

Others facts about Noni:

Noni Juice is a rich source of organic acids such as Acetic and Caprylic Acid, both of which are fungicides. Fungicides help kill off the yeast/candida overgrowth in the intestinal tract that contributes to intestinal dysbiosis.

Noni Juice is a critical component in fighting the war on aging. Because Noni is rich in phytochemicals, it helps chase down waste products such as oxidants and free radicals.


Noni Juice has been used by natives of the pacific islands for over 2,000 years. It is only recently that western societies have begun using the plant and its fruit as a natural supplement. What we do know about Noni, based on western science, is that it is a powerful antioxidant; it reduces modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) which should lessen the onset of arteriosclerosis; it appears to boost the immunity of people taking it; it appears to have anti-inflammatory properties.


Another thing that my friend told me don't exceed the amount you are taking, it's good for you but don't exagerate..if it says 1 teaspoon, take 1 teaspoon..it's a very strong juice, you don't want it to have reverse effects.

Try it and let me know how it works for you.

Peace

TIME!!

Where did I go all this time? my last post was august last year..wow..Time!! what did I do with it?
I have to apologizes with my followers which I totally ignored for almost a year and that is not good.
But I'm back which is the most important.
I just came back from a trip in Europe and I had a lot of time to reflect on how I'm using my time.
Not very wisely I have to say.
especially in a city like New york, time goes by so fast if you are not organized, it will be the end of the day and you'll find out that you haven't done anything useful. and I'm sure your list of '' things to do'' is as long as my list.
I know one thing, I always find the time to have fun, that is for sure, but It's more difficult to find the time to do things that are important, like write my blog, work on my new project, do some research, find a new job..I have tones of ideas but to put them in practice is very hard.

So I decided when I got back last week to use my time wisely and ask myself: who and what do I give my time to and why? I know that sometimes I gave away my time to people or things just because I didn't want to spend time with myself or on the things that were supposed to be done.
why? I don't know.
I just know that I got to the point that I realized that I could have done so much more for my life.

So I Work a little bit every day on my different projects, I 'm trying not be too harsh on myself.

I do a little bit everyday so I can reach my goals, and I have to say that is make me feel better. when I go to bed at night I have a sense of fulfilment.
And of course find the time for leisure and friends but not giving my all time for that.
My body needs my time too of course, to rest , to exercise and to be fed properly.
It's hard to find a balance, but it's possible, and I will give it a try?
I have to admit that I write all the things I have to do on my Iphone, so I don't forget , I don't want to waste time anymore.

Time is precious, we have to use it wisely.

What about you? how do you manage your time?

ALOE VERA: ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL MEDICINE!!

I was so sick few days ago with my stomach.
I can say that one of the reason I got better was to drink plenty of Aloe vera juice.

Aloe vera has been recognized for centuries for its remarkable health-enhancing and medicinal properties.
Although known specifically for external application to the skin, aloe juice is also widely used to help a variety of conditions of the digestive tract.
The juice is also have an anti-inflammatory action in the digestive system that is often used for heartburn and to ease constipation and bowel disease.

Other studies have shown that aloe vera juice helps detoxify the bowel,neutralize stomach acidity,and relieve gastric ulcers.

Aloe vera juice contains a wealth of vitamins,minerals,and nutrients including B1,B2,B3,B6,C,choline,calcium.copper,manganese,potassium,silicon, and others.

The leaf contains at least seventy-five nutrients and more than 200 active compounds, including twenty minerals, twenty of the twenty-two necessary amino acids, and twelve vitamins.

Aloe is thought to have originated in the Sudan and the Arabian Peninsula.
Today it's cultivated and found in the wild Africa, the Near East, Asia, and the southern Mediterranean.
It's also cultivated in subtropical regions of the United States and Mexico, in the coastal regions of Venezuela, and on the Dutch and French Antilles.

My advice, always have Aloe vera juice in your fridge!!

Cheers

NUTRITION FOR THE SOUL

If you allow yourself to be swayed by the opinions of others-- ''It must be good, because everyone else likes it'' '' It must be bad, because no one else likes it''--your feelings, your sensibility, which should be the very core of artistic experience, will wither and die.
To enjoy art to the fullest, you must abandon preconceived notions, leaving a blank state.
Then confront the work directly with your entire being.
If you are deeply moved, then that work is, for you, a great work of art.
( Diasaku Ikeda)



Many things happen in life. There are joyous days and times of suffering.
Sometimes unpleasant things occur. But that's what makes life so interesting. The dramas we encounter are part and parcel of being human. If we experienced no change or drama in our lives, if nothing unexpected ever happened,we would be like automatons, our lives would be unbearably monotonous and dull.
Therefore,please develop a strong self so that you can enact the drama of your life with confidence and poise in the face of all life's vicissitudes.
( Daisaku Ikeda)

When we are really honest with ourselves we must admit our lives are all that really belong to us.
So it is how we use our lives that determines the kind of men we are.
( Cesar Chavez)

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY ''A GREAT WAY TO DEAL WITH STRESS''

Hello dear followers,

I had a fantastic opportunity to have a CranioSacral session with Gabriel Bobek.
Before I tried it , I knew very litte about this method.

Living in New york city,dealing with stress is pretty common.
So when I went to visit Gabriel , at Backbone and Wingspan Pilates studio on wednesday,
I was pretty stress with work and had a bad foot.

Gabriel is the sweetest person I ever met.
He asked me to lie down face up on a very comfortable mattress and to close my eyes and relax.
I can tell you that after 10 minutes I was fast asleep.(even snoring a little)


CranioSacral therapy works through the craniosacral system to access the body's self healing
capacities.

Using a very light touch the skilled practitioner monitors body rhythms at key points to locate areas of obstruction,stress,or dysfunction.
Then techniques of alignment and adjustment engage the body's own corrective mechanisms to release what's ''stuck''.
Over time a chain reaction of release follows- this gentle and subtle touch produces fundamental changes safely from inside out.

When I Finally woke up,I felt so serene and relaxed,and most of all I knew I did a great favor to my body.

Everybody should try this experience at least once in their lifetime,and trust me when you tried it you will want some more.

To schedule an appointment please contact:
CranioSacral therapist
Gabriel Bobek@6463341366 or GabrielB@TMO.Blackberry.net


BE HEALTHY,BE HAPPY!!
