Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Yoga Makes You Healthier

By Jack Wogan


A strong health requires a well functioning of both body and mind. Until a few decades ago, people have believed that they could take care of them only by regular medical appointments and, if necessary, appropriate treatments, and some sport activities from time to time. But now they discovered a more efficient way to relax and also to get rid of certain affections by practicing yoga.

Even if breathing is known as an aptitude we are born with, a yoga practitioner learns how to do it once more, this time better. The breathing process plays an important part in our circulatory systems due to the amount of inhaled oxygen, and also in the central nervous system, calming it down. A correct breathing allows the respiratory track to clean. It also helps in increasing our power to concentrate and to control better our body.

Besides breathing, another important factor is represented by stretching. In order to gain flexibility, we have to practice stretch actions in order to lose the tension accumulated in various body parts. This way, we transform our body into a more elastic one, getting rid of arthritis, meaning back, knee or shoulder pains. And our muscles get to become more firm and also gain shape.

The health benefits that yoga has are numerous. If we are to refer to the internal organs, we may say that their strength increases. For the diabetes, it makes miracles happen, as it lowers the level of sugar in the blood. It is also helpful in losing weight, dropping the level of cholesterol too. By practicing yoga, we may get rid of other conditions, such as insomnia or asthma.

By practicing yoga, we may be able to slow down the process of aging because this activity releases the stress hormone along with other toxins from our body. Our skin quality improves and our body regains its firmness. Yoga also enables our sleeping hours to improve their quality and, when we are awake, to provide our body with the necessary vitality. Thus the condition of our mind is improved to a great extent and we no longer have to worry about anxiety, obsessive-compulsive affections or depression appearing.
