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.

FEW QUOTES OF WISDOM!!

We cannot escape fear.
We can only transform it into a companion that accompanies us on all our exciting adventures..
Take a risk a day--one small or bold stroke that will make you feel great once you have done it.
(Susan Jeffers)

What makes someone a hero?Napoleon maintained,''True heroism consists in being superior to the misfortunes of life.''
To have never tasted failure,defeat or misfortune is not heroism or happiness,for that matter.
A truly heroic way of life lies in squarely confronting and courageously overcoming the pounding vicissitudes that life always throws in our paths.
(Daisaku Ikeda)

Develop interest in life as you see it:in people,things,literature,music--the world is so rich,simply throbbing with rich treasures,beautiful souls and interesting people.
Forget yourself.
(Henry Miller)

NUTRITIONAL GREENS

Spring is finally here!! and today is Saint patrick's day.
Yes! and eating GREENS is easier.

So go ahead,do it!!I'm sure your mother used to tell you'',eat your greens it's good for you.''
She was so right,dark leafy green are packed with powerful nutritional supplements. that help maintain good health and protect against cancer and other diseases.
Leafy greens that have gotten the attention from researchers for their role in disease prevention are: kale,collards,cabbage,bok choy,mustard and turnip greens,watercress

The more they are leafy,the more they contain vitamin A,C and E,all considered antioxidant nutrients that help neutralize cancer-promoting oxygen molecules known as free radicals.
Leafy greens are a great source of fiber,calcium and iron.
The darker the green,the more it contains carotenoids which boost the immune system.

Try to get your greens organic because they will taste better and they'll be better for you.
Check you area for a farmer's market,whole foods,etc..

So after all this great infos,don't you feel like eating more greens?
I do,and if you don't feel like eating them,juice them.
Try this great juice:kale,celery,green apple.
Try this great salad;
kale,avocado,raisins,and a little brown rice
delicieux!!

This post is especially for my friend Hanayo!!

Exercising is an important part on how to stay healthy.
Find your own kind of physical activity.
Make sure you like it and most of all that you're having fun.
Any activity that you would do without enjoying it will turn to be a disaster for you.
You will burn out even before seeing the result.
Experiment,try different kind of work out.
There are so many out there;yoga,pilates,belly dancing,kick aerobic,etc..even walking fast is a great work out.
If you don't like to exercise on your own find a work out partner,it is more fun and more motivating.
The important thing is to sweat it out,get rid of those toxins.
Did you know that exercise make you feel less depressed, it helps you increase your energy,and by exercising you will live longer and of course stay young and beautiful.
So c'mon sweat it out!!
