What is Foot Reflexology? by www.reiki4universe.co.nr

What is Foot Reflexology?

Foot Reflexology has become a well respected ADJUNCT to regular medical care.It is used in Hospitals, by Physical Therapists and Chiropractors to enhance MOST forms of medical treatments.

Foot reflexology can help ease the pain of achy joints and muscles, relieve headaches and toothaches, improve the functioning of major systems of the body.

Foot Reflexology works by applying pressure at specific points on the bottom of the foot. This is not the same as acupressure or acupuncture.
In fact, the only thing that is the same is that medical science can't prove how it works...they just know it does!!

There are over 7,200 nerve endings at the bottom of each foot. Nerves connectto every organ, every limb and region of the body through the brain and spinal column. It is thought that foot reflexology works in much the same way. Even though we don't actually work the nerve endings, the correlation of the bottom of the feet to every region of the body definitely exists. It was originally called "The Zone" therapy in the early 20th century and was successfully organized into a comprehensive therapy by a physical therapist, Eunice Ingham in the '40s. She coined the term "reflexes" when referring to this therapy.

Foot reflexology can increase the blood flow to the part of the body being worked, which in turn increases the oxygen going to that part.

The increased blood flow helps take away toxins that build up in each cell of the body each day.
This brings more health and vitality to the region plus adds a sense of over-all well-being. When our feet feel good, we feel good!

Learn to do foot reflexology to help your family and friends feel better! Get helpgetting your body back to its' natural state of health by teaching your family todo foot reflexology on you!

Please realize that foot reflexology is NOT a substitute for medical treatment, you are always encouraged to seek professional medical help when needed, however, this therapy can be used in conjunction with most treatments for most conditions.

Please, if being treated by a medical professional, get that professional's permission before doing foot reflexology for that medical condition

How to cope with feelings of loss and grief share by www.reiki4universe.co.nr

What is grief?

Grief is a natural response to the pain of a loss. That loss may be due to the death of a loved one, divorce, or betrayal. Grief can also be experienced while processing the loss of a way of life or the idea of a future a person had expectations for. By its very nature grief is personal and differs from person to person as to its intensity, cause and timetable. There is certainly no right or wrong way to grieve nor is there a set time when it is finally over.

Symptoms

A person with grief may feel like they are going crazy, have deep and profound feelings of sadness, anxiety, or numbness. There may be a loss of interest in things they use to enjoy doing, as well as experiencing slowed thinking or forgetfulness.

Guilt and anger: the guilt may be from regrets or even from feelings of relief (such as when a person dies after a long illness). Anger may be directed at oneself, God, or at the person for abandoning you. Remember, anger is not right or wrong, good or bad — it just is.

Physical: sleeplessness, weight loss, pains in different areas of the body including the chest and abdomen, headaches, nausea, and crying. However, a lack of crying is not a signal that grief is not present. Each symptom is individualistic and a parameter for what could take place, not what will take place.

Suggestions on how to deal with grief and loss

Remember your physical health. Getting enough sleep, eating right, and exercise is crucial for dealing with the difficult days ahead. On those days when curling up in a fetal position may seem like all you want to do, try throwing on some sneakers and take a walk around the block or in the park. Take a kickboxing class. Try swimming. Physical exertion helps release intense emotions.

Journal. There is no right or wrong way to do this. If you are worried about revealing intense and angry emotions, thoughts, or feelings you are having even onto paper think of it as a black journal that you will give yourself permission to destroy later. No one needs to read it, not even you. But the very act of focusing and organizing the myriad of feelings enough to give them voice will aid immensely in the healing process.

Serve. Getting lost in service may help to bring meaning back into life where it may have been temporarily stripped due to the loss.

Give yourself permission to grieve. It is OK to hurt, to cry, to be angry, or to not be consolable for a period of time. Grieving is hard work, pain is inevitable, and time is always necessary.

Take it one minute, one hour, and then one day at a time. Tell yourself, “I can do this!” and that you can get through that particular moment in time. It does get easier.

Talk it out — with someone who has been through something similar, with a best friend, a spiritual leader or mentor, or a mental health professional.

Join a support group. You don’t have to go this alone. People sharing the same type of grief can buoy each other up and give a different perspective.

Cleave to the spiritual. Loss can cause some people to question their previously held beliefs. If you are religious, turning to more meaningful conversations with God or a deeper study of scriptures can bring an immeasurable amount of comfort. It may not remove the pain or even lessen the grieving process, but it can bring a depth and strength to a person’s spirituality as well as personality.

Avoid isolating oneself or abusing substances in an attempt to numb the pain. Pain from loss can be intense but it is doable; you will survive and, with time, that intensity will lessen. Attempting to avoid the pain will only delay the healing process.

Don’t underestimate the power of humor. Laughter can be a very cathartic experience and humor, if handled properly, can assist with the grieving process. It is not a sign of disrespect for the memory of the loss but is a healthy way to deal with the intense feelings that arise when the world has been turned upside down.

Expect to work. The grieving process takes time, patience, and a lot of work. It cannot be skipped, ignored, run away from or shut out. Despite the temptation to avoid the messiness of grief now, that grief will eventually come out and will need to be dealt with at a later date — and it won’t necessarily be any easier. Some things you can’t go around, you just have to go through.

Postpone any major decisions for a year. Move your furniture, change your hair color, find a new gym, but avoid large life-changing decisions like moving to a new house or switching jobs. Avoid the strong temptation to throw or give away reminders of your loss — at least right away. Box things up if you need to and rent a storage unit for a year. Many regrets later down the road can be avoided by simply allowing for some space and time.

Loss is never easy and no one has the right to judge how it should or shouldn’t be handled. It may feel like you will never be happy again, but over time life will return to what will feel like yournormal. Take a deep breath and go easy on yourself.

Author's note: Journey of Hearts offers a wealth of valuable information and additional resources at your fingertips.

भगवान की पूजा में सिंदूर का भी उपयोग किया जाता है। यह गहरे नारंगी या भगवा रंग का होता है। पूजा में न केवल सिंदूर चढ़ाया जाता है बल्कि देवताओं की मूर्तियों पर सिंदूर का चोला भी चढ़ाया जाता है। आमतौर पर हनुमान की मूर्ति पर सिंदूर का चोला चढ़ाया जाता है। पूजा में सिंदूर को चढ़ाने का अपना महत्व है।

पूजा में इस मंत्र उच्चारण होता है- सिन्दूरं शोभनं रक्तं सौभाग्यं सुखवर्धनम्। शुभदं कामदं चैव सिन्दूरं प्रतिगृह्यताम्॥ अर्थात- लाल रंग का सिंदूर शोभा, सौभाग्य और सुख बढ़ाने वाला है। शुभ और सभी कामनाओं को पूर्ण करने वाला है। हे देव! आप स्वीकार करें।

इसी प्रकार देवी-देवताओं के लिए यह मंत्र उच्चारित करें- सिन्दूरमरुणाभासं जपाकुसुमसनिभम्। अर्पितं ते मया भक्त्या प्रसीद परमेश्वरि॥ अर्थात- प्रात:कालीन सूर्य की आभा तथा जवाकुसुम की तरह सिंदूर आपको हम अर्पित करते हैं। हे मां! आप प्रसन्न हों।

सिंदूर का महत्व पूजा में तो है ही लेकिन इसका उपयोग महिलाओं द्वारा विवाह के पश्चात मांग भरने में भी किया जाता रहा है। आजकल सिंदूर से मांग भरने का चलन खत्म-सा हो गया है। सिंदूर से मांग भरने का वैज्ञानिक महत्व भी है। इससे महिला के शरीर में स्थित वैद्युतिक उत्तेजना नियंत्रित होती है। सिंदूर में पारा होता है। इससे महिलाओं के सिर में होने वाली, जूं, लीख (डेन्ड्रफ) भी नष्ट होती है।

सिंदूर का रंग आरोग्य, बुद्धि, त्याग और दैवी महात्वाकांक्षा का प्रतीक है। आमतौर पर भी हम देखते हैं कि साधु-संन्यासियों के वस्त्र का रंग भी ऐसा ही होता है। सिंदूर चढ़ाने का अभिप्राय यही है कि हमारा जीवन त्यागमय हो और लक्ष्य भगवान की प्राप्ति। सिंदूर में पारा होता है जो हमारे शरीर के लिए लाभकारी है। मूर्ति पर सिंदूर का चोला चढ़ाने से उसका संरक्षण होता है।

There is a belief that the ashram of the learned Bharadvaja, where Lord Ram, Laxman and Sita lived at the time of their exile, was situated at Sangam. It is said that a number of saints including the great Shankaracharya and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu visited Sangam and observed the Kumbh Mela.

A large tented city is erected and pilgrims stay at tents owned by Pandas (religious and spiritual guides) and at various ashrams. Others will just camp on the ground or turn up for the actual bathing day. Some of these bathing days are designated "royal," and it is on these days that the naga sadhus (naked mendicants) parade and bathe. On other days there will still be people bathing and other events and random processions.

After bathing, the pilgrims wear fresh clothes and proceed to worship by the river bank. They then walk around listening to discourses from the various sadhus.
