Chinese Green Tea – How An Oriental Beverage Conquer The World

By now we have all heard about the amazing health benefits of chinese green tea. Long used medicinally in China, it has become increasingly popular around the world.

Is there a difference between tea grown in China, and tea from other places? What are the origins of tea, and how did it become so popular?

How Tea Begin

Tea is thought to have originated in China at least 2,000 years ago. Because of the time that has passed since then, mystery surrounds the actual beginning of tea-drinking.

A legend says that an early Buddhist Master discovered tea. Another legend has it that the Chinese agricultural god Shenong invented it by chewing the leaves and spitting them into a cup of hot water, in order to test the toxicity of the leaves. Still another variation of the same legend says that one day a tea leaf blew into his cup, he looked at, then sipped it, and the result was tea!

China Versus Indi

Biologists have determined that there are two slightly different tea plants. One is native to India, Burma, and the Yunan province of China. The other is found in eastern and southeastern China. The plants are similar enough that they surely have a common ancestor, and the tea they produce is the same.

Tea was cultivated on a massive scale under British rule. Mechanization was introduced, and tea was grown and handled with an eye toward export. From this time on, tea traveled to the corners of the world.

Chinese Green Tea Health Benefits

The purported health benefits of this beverage are almost endless. High levels of antioxidants have led to studies showing that green tea may be a cancer fighter of the first magnitude.

Other benefits of daily consumption of green tea include: lower cholesterol, weight loss aid, soothing, lessening the effects of diabetes.

Green tea is even used in wrinkle creams and moisturizers. The antioxidants it contains are thought to fight aging in the skin.

Chinese Green Tea Versus Others?

In reality, it is most important to drink tea that is grown, picked and processed carefully. Loose tea is always preferable to tea in bags. Tea that has been picked during the right time of year, and has been sun-dried and withered to achieve the proper amount of fermentation, will be your best bet. The Chinese have been doing this longer than anyone else!

Music for the Soul

Music for your meditations is more than just going to Wal-Mart and picking up a CD of environmental sounds or the latest Yanni tunes. Finding the right music for your meditations is essential to the meditation process. It is about self realization and self expression. It is what guides you into new realms. It is what brings about the images that will carry you to the sacred place. That is the goal of meditation.

I have been asked on numerous occasions about recommended meditation music. I have spent the last 6 hours combing through music to give you my top picks. I have separated the music into 2 categories for easier choosing: Light Ambient and Dark Ambient. The Light Ambient music houses a list of various styles: Native American, Piano, Neo-Classical, Indian, Environmental, Celtic and so on. The Dark Ambient section is a list of darker sounds; a lot of Goths, Pagans, Vampires, Horror Fans and others prefer the dark or heavier sounds to meditate to.

For sampling the music I have recommended, 2 good places: Last.FM and Amazon.com. Most of the music can be bought at Amazon.com or through the artists own websites and scrobbled/sampled at Last.FM.

Most of the artists below have has several CDs to pick from. I have chosen my favorites from each artist to recommend to you for your meditations. This is just a very small list of wonderful meditation music to pick from. I can also tell you that if you are just in the mood for some good chill-out music, relaxing music to sleep by or need good music for your 'tantric connections' then this is a fairly good list of for your listening pleasure.

Love is Key

Love holds the Keys to all Healing.

To live a fuller, healither, and richer life - Learn to Love. Nothing will benefit you more biochemically, physically, mentally, spiritually or emotionally than Love.

Love is something we all search for; our bodies crave it, our spirits need it. When we experience it, there is a "euphoric high" that our sences feel - a sort of bliss, happiness and power that cannot be explained. We bask in the warmth of the blanket that surrounds us with caring, hope, gratitude, comfort, trust and a general sense of well-being. In fact, feeling and knowing love sets off a complex series of events within our bodies that brings about general good health.

There have been numerous studies that prove does improve our health. The studies go well beyond a male-female relations [ie. marriage] but looks at social connections, pets, beliefs and many other areas. In other words, the studies go well beyond 'being in love'.

Love is a high frequency emotion compared to Hate which is a rock bottom low frequency emotion. Love helps us to over come obstacles, fears, disappointments, low self-esteem, depression as well as over turning our hateful feelings and it's negative effects. In some cases, Love is mind-over-matter - meaning a person has to work on Loving Techniqes to feel the power and health benefits of Love. A good example of this: those that litter the Earth, criminals, abusers and the list goes on.

Love is the Heart Charka. It is the Soul. If one can heal the heart then they create a balance that is much needed in todays world. Healing the heart will release emotional bondages or baggages we carry from birth - experienced in the world in the Physical Realms or 3D. Your soul seeks seperation from the polar opposite, it spends a lifetime trying to over come pain, suffering, greed, hate and other negative experiences in the Physical World.

Romanitc Love is a part of our lives, but is only a quick fix and rarely permanant. Most all of us knows the quick rush of adrenaline we get from 'falling in love' - but it doesn't last forever. Love is more than Romantic and one should seek other sources and ways to love. I have seen depressed people who are in-love, their souls are lurking for something more permament. They have not learned to find the love their souls seek and remain unhealed. The best love for healing is mixed with compassion, acceptance, understanding, help, forgivness, and gentleness.

Studies conducted at the Institute for HeartMath in Boulder Creek, California, confirm the health-improving and life-affirming effects of love on the human body. By studying the heart's rhythms, researchers there have discovered that when we feel love, or any positive emotion such as compassion, caring, or gratitude, the heart sends messages to the brain and secretes hormones that positively affect our health.

"Our heart rate changes with every heartbeat," Rollin McCraty, director of research at the Institute of HeartMath, explains. "It creates patterns we call heart rhythms." Researchers see the difference in heart rhythms easily when study participants wear portable recorders that allow researchers to monitor their heart rhythms as they go about their day. These rhythms provide "a window" into the inner workings of the communication system between the heart and the brain.

McCraty believes the heart actually monitors the blood stream for hormones and translates the hormonal information into neurological information, which cascades up into the higher brain centers, like the cortex. "If we feel love and compassion, that boosts our immune system." ~McCraty said.

Love is a feeling. Love is an attitude. Love is an action. Love is a choice.



Tips:

Enlarge your understanding of Love: Love is more than Romance. Love is more than a good feeling.
You do not have to agree with someone to act with consideration and compassion.
You do not need to be attracted to someone to show a loving attitude.

Get involved in your community and/or online communites.
Share your resources with a needy person.
Give to your favorite charites or organizations.

Meditate and/or Pray for greater understanding of Love.

Verses and Poetry:

Power and permanence of universal Love: The essence of a verse from Saadi

I am in love with that mysterious power that made us all,
The power in absence of which the heavens would fall.
I get uplifted when I think of that power,
And when I don't my life is indeed very dull.


A verse from Hafez, 'dar tarigheh eshgh baazi..' where the power of love changes pain to pleasure:

The pain of your love is such a great pleasure,
For which I'll never need a preventive measure.
The happiness I find in my humble hut,
I do not exchange with any worldly treasure.



Rumi [who equates the power of God and power of love that is within each of us.] Rumi addresses those who think the only way to reach God is through rituals and going to special places.

O' seekers of God, your are it, you are it,
God is within you, just admit, just admit.
You look silly looking for what you have not lost,
God and you are one, just admit, just admit!

I often recall my frequent visits to our Saadi's tomb when I was teaching in the lovely city of Shiraz.
I especially recall the verse engraved on the iron gate of the tomb:
'zeh khaakeh saaieh Shriaz booye eshgh aayad, hezaar saal pas az margeh oo garash booi.':

You will detect a fresh fragrance of love from this earth,
If you exhume Saadi a thousand years after his death.


Rumi verses

Love can make your bitter moments sweet,
Love can sweep your beloved off its feet.

Love can turn your copper into gold,
Love can multiply your gold a thousand fold.

Love can turn your vinegar into wine,
Love can make a devil into divine.

Love can cure your incurable pain,
Love can make the sunny skies rain.

Love can make a plowshare out of your sword,
Love can make you happy when you're bored.

Love can create happiness from your blues,
Love can intoxicate you without booze.

Love can make poison be your cure,
Love can make your polluted waters pure.

Love can make a serpent's venom a salve
Love can render a have-not into have.

Love can squeeze oil out of your stone,
Love can vaporize chill from your bone.

Love can turn your vice into virtue,
Love can make all your dreams come true.



A warning on abusive and excessive or wasteful lifestyle.

Knowledge empowers you to perceive what you see,
So that you won't go on a binge and spree,
You are slave if you cannot harness your desires,
Even if you were born in the Land of the Free.





Saadi the corrupt version of which is called globalization these days. That verse starts as 'bani aadam azaayeh yekdigarand...':

Regardless of color, creed and shape of our face,
We are members of one body called Human Race.
If one member is in pain and I don't offer a solace,
Within the Family of Man, I don't deserve a place.


Hakim Omar Khayyam on love and enthusiasm for life. In Farsi this starts as'ay vaay bar on del keh dar oo soozi nist...'

Life without love is a dark day or a bad news,
As is a headlight at night without any fuse.
Each day you spent without love and hope,
Is a day wasted, a day that was of no use.



Omar Khayyam's verses: When I find a stranger a better friend than a relative

Strangers are relatives if they befriend,
Relatives are strangers when they offend.
A poison is a medicine if it cures,
Cures are poisons if they rend.

Another one from Omar stresses persistence and hard work in achieving seemingly impossible goals.

Your success in life depends on how you fare,
In working hard and surviving a despair.
For unless the comb did not have a hundred teeth,
It could not penetrate a beloved's hair.


Omar Khayyam.

An unhappy raindrop said Look at Me,
I'm not even the size of a pea.
As it dropped into the sea it said,
Look everyone, I am the sea.

Meditation

My personal version of meditation is similar to the posts I made earlier: How to Meditate. The earlier post was to show other methods of the meditating technique. Below is my variation of meditation. I add and delete things when necessary to my routine, but it will give you a basic outline:


1. Make sure all is quite - no disturbances. Turn off all telephones, TVs and such. Make sure no one is home or they are alerted to your request for peace and alone time. [Maybe they are reading, sleeping, on the computer - just doing something quite]. Make all pets happy - a barking dog or cat fight will surely break your concentration.

2. Lower all lights. Daytime - cover the windows for an ambience and to tone down the bright sun. Nighttime is my favorite time for meditation.... no traffic, worries about a knock on the door etc.

3. Turn on Ambient, Meditation, Experimental, Environmental or Classical music - very low - helps me to relax and focus. The sounds help to 'drive' my experiences while in the meditating mode. ~Once in awhile I choose no sounds for a different effect~

4. Light some candles. If you are a believer in symbolism and colors you may want to consult your color chart to coordinate with the type or focus of your meditation. White is always a good choice for anyone or any belief ~non believers of color symbolism included~. I usually light 3 or 5 candles [odd numbers]

5. Incense, heated and scented oils or potpourri is used. Again, those believing in symbolism may choose to use symbolic scents for their ritual. I use symbolic scents for specific meditations; my general meditations I use my favorite scents. For me, Woods, Spices and/or Musks is the best. You choose what is right for you and your meditation.

6. A series of light, slow stretches to loosen and relax the muscles. This will also help 'free the mind'.

7. Sit on the floor in the classic Lotus Position. Arms in a position most comfortable to you. Eyes closed. Breathe slowly and deeply.... every breath will become deeper and slower.

8. Clear the mind of any and all thoughts. I usually focus on the darkness or blackness that one sees when the eyes are closed. Other times, I will focus on the music to help 'carry me to my place of meditation.' Yet on other occasions I'll picture a lotus flower, lake, or even the stars.... anything to get the mind of the bump and grind of daily living and to start meditation.

9. Now that the mind is clear the journey begins. Experiences vary from person to person and mediation to mediation. You never know where you'll end up: a beautiful magical forest, under the ocean, dancing in the clouds, complete darkness, a room full of candles, a rose garden - the possibilities are endless.

Interesting to note that sometimes you may hear sounds, voices or someone talking directly to you! Messages or Omens are sometimes what they are. Other times it's help with a particular situation. Some may be deeper - telling you more about yourself or others. Listen closely!

The images you see are important too. They are the for the same reasons as sounds/voices. Meditation is very similar to the dream state. Not everything has a meaning... but the things that stand out most to you are meaningful. Remember meditation is more than just relaxing. The beginner may find that that's all they are getting out of the first few meditation experiences but will soon learn otherwise.


10. When coming out of the meditative state, do so slowly. Do not open the eyes fast, do not jump up and or move in any quick way. Once the meditation is over - slowly open the eyes. Breathe and relax. A few easy, light floor stretches is good before standing up.Easy does it again when before standing up. This will help to prevent 'shock' and stop you from being thrown back into the state you were in before the meditation took place.

My personal choice - after the eyes are opened, breathing is back to normal and the stretches are over - I will sit and think about all that I have experienced in my meditations. Keeping a journal of it? Now is the time to write down.

*I usually have a glass of water or juice beside me and some fruits/veggies/nuts waiting for me to complete my meditation cycle. While thinking about the meanings and writing down the experiences I will enjoy my mini healthy snack.


11. Now that this is over with - you should feel relaxed, peaceful, energy soaring, creative juices flowing and happy. The 'third eye' should be clear, mind-body-spirit balanced and the emotions almost euphoric. ~Very seldom do I have a bad or scary meditation experience, but just like a nightmare, it does happen. Just a word of warning.~

12. Ready for the world and what life has dish-out for another day. Hopeful that it is as good as I feel after my meditation journey. May this will help a beginner to understand another method and view of it.

How to Meditate

Relaxation Through Meditation
[Author Unknown]

My preference would be to call meditation relaxation – conscious relaxation, chosen relaxation. These are words that are more universally understood, more comfortable. Constantly working toward the goal of discovering my own ability to reach a state of serenity, I have learned to meditate.

Meditating is actually easier than you might imagine. Most of us have dabbled in meditation by participating in conscious relaxation. Maybe during an exercise class or to manage pain at the dentist or anxiety before a test. We start by paying attention to our breathing. The practical effort to focus completely on our breathing takes our minds away from the "mind clutter" that constantly tries to invade our mind and eliminate feelings that will lead to a time of calm. With repeated effort the goal of clearing your mind – to think of nothing, does occur and the process of meditation takes on its own energy. The result is, and I guarantee this, peace, serenity, calmness, eventually opening yourself to new insights.


Meditating for Life

Too much stress, stress reduction, chill out, let it go, detach – familiar phrases to all of us. Our world is fast, fun and exciting. It is also challenging, trying, demanding and frightening. These two sides of our lives produce stress, emotional reactions, anxiety, worry and anticipation. Our bodies and minds can tolerate only so much of any of these. After a while, each of us reaches a saturation point and the results become uncomfortable at best; for some it may be unbearable, even unendurable.

No magic pill is available to eliminate these feelings. The reality is, as the wise old man said, the answer is inside all of us. To manage these universal concerns we must go inside ourselves. Among the steps we can take is the learning and practicing of meditation.


What to Expect

With time and faith in the commitment to practice frequently, (daily meditating is ideal), during your meditation time you may "leave the moment." A feeling of separation exists where the mind is clear, clean and blank. You will still hear sounds around you, but they will not interfere with your meditation.

Sometimes you may weep -- you may not even be aware of what is making you weep. It is your own emotions having a voice of their own. Sometimes you may feel a smile across your face -- that is contentment showing itself. Sometimes you may fall asleep and awaken truly refreshed.

There is no right or wrong behavior during your meditation. It is your time for you. Everyone deserves this kind of personal attention. This is a self-care activity; loving oneself! Teach it to your children instead of a time-out in their room or corner. Teach it to your friends, family, anyone who will listen. We can share this gift and get back as we give. We are all better because of each person who meditates. The peace and joy felt by those who meditate enters the world for all of us as positive energy. From it the world is a better place. Imagine if we all practiced meditation!






How to Get Started with Meditation
By Bobbie Lieberman

Meditation: Practice the Art of Peace

"Calmness is the ideal state in which we should receive all life's experiences," writes Paramahansa Yogananda (1893-1952), founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship, in the book Inner Peace. Yogananda is regarded as one of the great spiritual teachers melding East and West. Through meditation, he writes, one can cultivate a wonderful inner quiet that will melt away stress and nervousness.

But to meditate, one must break away, however briefly, from the world. Turn off your cell phone and pager, disconnect the fax machine, shut down the computer and turn on the answering machine...allow no interruptions during this special time.

Meditation is the perfect antidote for the constant intrusion of technology in our lives. In fact, recent research has shown that meditating twice per day for about 20 minutes can actually reduce blockages in your blood vessels, significantly lowering the risk of sudden death by heart attack or stroke.



Here are a few tips to get you started:

* Where Should I Meditate?

You may wish to set aside a special corner of one room, your own private sanctuary, a calm, quiet and peaceful place. You might furnish the area with objects or icons that have spiritual meaning for you, developing a little altar or shrine. Use what will put you into a contemplative frame of mind. You may want to enlist the help of Mother Nature. Spend time at the ocean listening to the surf crashing upon the rocks...walk through a shaded forest trail with a cathedral of trees overhead...stand near a stream with water playing over the rocks or a waterfall...or watch the moon rise or birds fly overhead.


* How Should I Sit When I Meditate?

Although the classic posture is to sit with legs folded and hands resting quietly on the lap or the knees, the key is to find a way of sitting that is comfortable for you. And remember, you can meditate anytime, anywhere...even driving in your car.

Suicide and Women

....Some shocking facts:

A woman commits suicide every 90 minutes in the U.S., but it is estimated that one woman attempts suicide every 78 seconds.

Women attempt suicide twice as much as men.

The higher rate of attempted suicide in women is attributed to the elevated rate of mood disorders among females, such as major depression, dysthymia and seasonal affective disorder.

In the U.S. in 1995, the suicide rate among women was 4.4 per 100,000, while for men it was 19.8 per 100,000.

Although women attempt suicide more often, men complete suicide at a rate four times that of women.

The suicide rates for women peak between the ages of 40-54 years old, and do so again after age 75.

The suicide rate for women ages 15-24 has doubled since 1950, while the rate for younger girls ages 10-14 has nearly tripled since 1980.

The rate for young African American females ages 10-14 has quadrupled from from .1 /100,000 in 1980 to .42 /100,000 in 1995.

Firearms are now the leading method of suicide in women, as well as men.

Suicide is more common among women who are single, recently separated, divorced, or widowed.

The precipitating life events for women who attempt suicide tend to be interpersonal losses or crises in significant social or family relationships.

Many women who suffer from depressive illness experience their first episode in the postpartum period. 60-80% of women experience transient depression, and 10-15% of women develop clinical depression during the postpartum period.

Women are more likely than men to have stronger social supports, to feel that their relationships are deterrents to committing suicide, and to seek psychiatric and medical intervention.

Although many effective treatments exist, suicide in women remains a much underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated problem.

Garlic vs Evil...... The Power of Garlic...

Garlic vs Evil...... The Power of Garlic...

Garlic (Allium Sativum) has been used as a charm against evil and dates back to Ancient times. the ancient Egyptians believed in a Vampire-like ghost that killed sleeping children by sucking up their breath. The protection that was used against the attacks of this murderous monster was a wreath of garlic.

The use of garlic is known all over the world, not only as a tasty accent to foods, but also as a charm against evil spirits. Even in places such as China or Malaysia, people smear the forehead of their children to protect them from Vampires, and in the West Indies too, garlic is used as a means of protection against the evil practices and Magical Spells of Witches and Sorcerers.

In Romania, garlic is also a weapon of importance in the everlasting battle against Vampires. Romanians used to make certain that they ate garlic every day for their protection. They also smeared garlic on the windows and the doors of their houses, on the gates to their farmyards, and even on the horns of their cattle. They believed that these Vampires had a great fear of garlic. If a deceased person was thought to be in danger of becoming a Vampire, one common protective measure was stuffing some pieces of garlic into the orifices of the corpse, especially the mouth. This was done in order to prevent evil spirits from entering the dead body. At the same times it served the purpose of preventing the soul of the deceased from re-entering its body. Another anti-Vampire practice that we can find in Romania is the anointing of the corpse, especially the heels, with a mixture of oil, fat, incense, gunpowder and garlic.

In some cultures people would simply wear a necklace of garlic cloves for protection against evil. Any way you look at it.... garlic is believed to be a major source of protection from evil.

Now I am going to tell you about my experiences with garlic. For me.... I take odor free Garlic tablets every night before I go to bed. I take 2 - 1,000mg tablets at a time. Also the reason I take it at night is so I do not worry about burping up garlic during the day. Garlic has boosted my immune system immensely... to where I never ever get sick any more.... never. To hell with vitamin C Tablets.... they just don't compare. Also my cholesterol has dropped big time. Plus... the bad spirits stay away from me.

Garlic has some extremely great health benefits. It will lower your cholesterol and unclog your arteries. It will shrink cancerous tumors and keep cancer out of your body. It will also boost your immune system greatly. Now don't wait till you get sick or have cancer to start taking it..... start now! And see you life improve.





Here are the benefits that are shown from studies:

* Garlic lowers blood pressure a little.

* Garlic lowers LDL Cholesterol a little.

* Garlic helps reduce atherosclerotic buildup (plaque) within the arterial system. One recent study shows this effect to be greater in women than men.

* Garlic lowers or helps to regulate blood sugar.

* Garlic helps to prevent blood clots from forming, thus reducing the possibility of strokes and thromboses (It may not be good for hemophiliacs).

* Garlic helps to prevent cancer, especially of the digestive system, prevents certain tumors from growing larger and reduces the size of certain tumors.

* Garlic helps to remove heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the body.

* Raw Garlic is a potent natural antibiotic and, while far less strong than modern antibiotics, can still kill some strains of bacteria that have become immune or resistant to modern antibiotics.

* Garlic has anti-fungal and anti-viral properties.

* Garlic dramatically reduces yeast infections due to Candida species.

* Garlic has anti-oxidant properties and is a source of selenium.

* Garlic probably has many other benefits as well.
