 Massage can help alleivate Adrenal Stress and improve your health.
The
adrenals, those ever-so-important glands perched atop our kidneys, are
our stress responders.
They respond by producing adrenaline, cortisol,
DHEA, and aldorsterone. By design, they are meant to handle short-term
stressors only and if stress is sustained, they can become overtired
and depleted.
Adrenals under stress can become over or under-active. In
the most extreme cases, this manifests as Cushing’s syndrome or
Addison's Disease-- overproducing of cortisol or inability to secrete
cortisol, respectively. |

For many of us, the concept of time is of great interest.
The
measurement of time, the illusion of time, time travel, time keepers,
and more, have always been key to our journey.
Our lives are based on
time being real, giving greater definition to events that pass in the
streaming consciousness of the illusion.
Without time, there would be no
need for emotions.
US Presidential elections take place on a leap year.
In Greece, marriage in a leap year is considered unlucky. One in five
engaged couples in Greece will plan to avoid getting married in a leap
year. |

 It's 2012 and by this point in your life you have tried many diets - having lost and regained weight through the years.
Personally I believe a diet is an individual things based on one's
available to prepare food, their lifestyle, it's psychological value,
and even go as far as saying their astrological chart can reflect if a
diet will work in any given year.
The brain as we know is an electrochemical machine that loves patterns.
Once it adjusts to proper eating, it will allow the person to lose
weight and get healthy. |

I hope you're enjoying the holiday as
much as I am. Christmas in the NW was perfect - the weather, food,
family, a new baby born on the 23 making me a great
aunt, fun, toys and new clothes.
Now is the time to act, open up this
new years eve and tell that every person you come across even if it
is a stranger, to spread love, affection and warmth around them. Make
this new year special by planting a tree, feeding hungry people,
adopting a lonesome street dog, by giving some warm clothes for
children. |

Due to ecological and environmental changes, allergies season is
longer, with new allergens discovered every year, sending people on a
quest to find answers through over-the-counter remedies, those
prescribed by doctors, or alternative therapies. Spring is in the air ... literally. From weeds to spores to grass and
tree pollens, the warm weather is almost here, driving airborne allergen
levels through the roof. That means your allergy symptoms -- the
sniffling, sneezing, and itchy eyes -- are in overdrive and apt to stay
that way for months. |

Intuition is sometimes defined as the sense of knowing something without
any empirical evidence. To some this is a divine source of knowing,
while to others intuition is about listening to instinct. Everyone
experiences flashes of their intuition from time to time – those are the
“ah-ha” moments of understanding. In fact, most people walk around
actively inviting their intuition to step in. This is what you are doing
when you wonder, whether you are wondering about people, places, facts,
ideas, decisions, etc |

Many common massage types reduce your stress hormone levels, blood pressure and heart rate.
A study in the Journal Of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that after people with normal blood pressure had deep tissue massage for 45 to 60 minutes, their blood pressure fell. Specifically, by an average of 10.4 millimeters of mercury mm/Hg systolic and 5.3 mm/Hg diastolic.

 This time of the year we like to downsize for any number of reasons. We call it spring cleaning as spring is almost here. We not only clean closets, relationships, and change patterns of behavior, but added to the list, we clean our digital world as well. I'm on a spring cleaning binge! Whats on your spring cleaning list? |
