Random Thoughts XXXI: Are The Biggest Loser’s Weight Loss Methods Safe? – That’s Fit

Are The Biggest Loser’s Weight Loss Methods Safe? – That’s Fit.

Previously, I wrote a post about The Biggest Loser this season. Contestants like Shay and Abby made me excited and highly inspired, just like many other viewers of this show. Today, I read this article for the first time. It really opened my eyes to what goes on AFTER the show is over and what these contestants go through to achieve these lofty goals.

Random Thoughts XXX: IYI and Dharma Chameleon

The other day, I met a lovely young woman who came to Integral Yoga Institute for the first time (yes, I work there now as a receptionist…didn’t I tell you?). Her name is Marla and she mentioned that she came here for her blog, called Dharma Chameleon.

We had a short conversation before her class about blogs (of course I told her that I have these two blogs) and then she wisked herself off to class.

Today, I remembered her blog and lo and behold, here is her post on Integral Yoga Institute: http://dharmachameleon.com/2009/11/11/the-magical-mystery-tour-is-coming-to-take-me-away/#comment-15

I’m just really happy that I had a small part in making her experience a good one. But please remember that any feedback is good feedback…so good or bad review, it’s always an opportunity to grow and thrive.

So until next time…stay strong, stay healthy, and fight dis-ease!

Essential 4 Series: Breathing Methods – Tai Chi I

When people ask me how I started on this path to health, I reply by saying, “Yoga saved my life” and then I talk about how I finally connected with Yoga. While Yoga did save my life, it’s not the first thing that got me on the path to wellness. I learned how to properly breathe way before I met up with Yoga.

The year was 1995…it was early in the year. It wasn’t quite Spring yet but Winter was definitely over. To put it plainly, I was a serious pothead then. I also loved Kung Fu Movies. Watching the “Drive In Movies” on Channel 5 in Brooklyn was my Kung Fu fix…but I never even took a karate class.

So back to 1995, I was hanging out with my friends one day, smoking (which was the usual back then), when one of my friends started talking about Kung Fu. I mentioned that I loooved Kung Fu movies and how much I always wanted to learn Tai Chi (by this time, I was a huge Jet Li fan…my favorite movie then was called the “Tai Chi Master“…so I was really open to what my friend had to say). My friend then said to me, “want to learn some Kung Fu right now?”

All of us…all 12 of us, immediately perked up. Our excitement seemed to come to a near boil in almost seconds as we all said a resounding “yes”, like we were in the Pothead Church Choir. He told us to sit down and listen well.

Random Thoughts XXIX: Advaita – Tongue cleaners – Benefits

Advaita – Tongue cleaners – Benefits.

This site explains tongue cleaning very well. I knew that the tongue can represent certain organs (just like the feet in reflexology) but didn’t remember clearly which organ would be represented and where.

I hope this helps you find a tongue cleaner that is good for you! I’m thinking I’m also going to put this on my Healthy Junk blog too.

Talk to you soon!

Random Thoughts XXVIII: Next Sunday

Hello everyone!

I really have the urge to write about some health thing. I mean, this is a health blog…right?

Not entirely.

This is a wellness blog. And while I do talk about things that are physically, mentally and spiritually, rarely do I give you (or myself) time to really soak in and enjoy the wellness.

It has been said that the Lord rested on the seventh day. Whichever day, your “seventh day” lies, we should be resting as well. However, that is not the case in this day and age – at least for most of us.

So instead, let us honor the day of rest as more of a day of absorption.

Take a moment to reflect on your week. How did it make you feel? Who or What factors contributed to your growth and which factors did not? How can I make next week more positive than this week?

Absorb these feelings, thoughts, and answers and then let them go. Go to sleep tonight and start your day, your week, your life anew…why wait? do it now!

What do you really have to lose?

Until next time, stay strong…stay healthy, and fight dis-ease!
