Hot To Keep Warm In The Winter

2014-11-16T04:14:00.000-08:00

Ok - heating does not work, or hot baths. It just makes you more cold when you do go out. More clothes does not really work, for you are still breathing cold air. Also if you have a flu and are feeling cold you are more likely to have a fever, but if you use the d-thinker method as recommended on the this site even if you get a flu, you will not get a fever. (from my own research)

I remember 10 years ago some scientist in London found that cold bathing led to an increase in white blood cells. The newspaper The European had an article on it. I gave it a go, and found that the body's temperature would increase in the following days. Unusually the static in my body would increase so much that I could move a plastic cup. I felt it was just too extreme....so I gave up a few months later.

But 10 years after (present day) I thought I would just try the first part of the cold bath procedure, just put my feet in cold tap water for 5 mins. Then when I have a hot bath, or shower I would also splash some cold water on my face 3 times, and pour some cold water over my head 3 times. This would lower my body temperature and after a few day I did not feel cold.

I did check up on this and that in traditional Chinese method cold water foot bathing is a way to stop colds, there is also a science behind it, basically it forces the blood to go deeper into the body. Also this method is not extreme and old people can do it. Also a cold foot bath wakes you up in the morning.

DESIGN STUDENT DELVES INTO THE WORLD OF PSYCHOLOGY IN FINAL YEAR SHOW

2014-07-14T23:12:00.002-07:00

A Communication Design student at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen is aiming to conduct a social experiment as part of her final year project.

Caterina Bianchini (21), who is originally from Broxburn, outside Edinburgh, has been inspired by the theories of seminal psychologist Carl Jung to create her Degree Show project, which will be exhibited until June 28.

D-Thinker

Jung represents innocent intuition. Too many people wake up, and ask are they alright or not. Or are we working or not working, worse than robots we are becoming fragmented robots!

This is the link - http://graysartschoolaberdeen.com/2014/07/13/design-student-delves-into-the-world-of-psychology-in-final-year-show/

She also has her own site, where u can see her art work, which is based on psychology and Jung:

How To Deal With Feelings Of Fear And Being Scared After You Have Moved House

2014-01-20T03:50:00.001-08:00

The most difficult part of the process is to admit that there is a problem, do you find yourself worrying about money - is this evasive? Why do I worry about money? Do you find yourself looking out of the window, you may tell yourself, let me check if my car has not been stolen. Uncertainties play on probabilities of downfalls. Do you tell yourself that I will stop worrying once I have settled in my new house, though a couple of months have passed without any real problems.

Down the line fear and worry about money, tiredness etc can actually cause problems to arise.

Fears arise from our childhood and by facing these fears can disconnect us from fear, we can become too fast in life - going back and forth, or in others in can make us paralyzed and slow in life. Our first memories of our first house offer security and peace, then we are forced to move house then that peace and security is lost. The peace and security is replaced by being generally scared - we make excuses, this is a bad neighborhood, it has less of this than the other house.

The irony is that the more we liked our first home the more depressing we will find our new home. Let me explain if you have had a good holiday than your first week at work can become more difficult, if you have had a boring and tiresome holiday you can easily jump back in the saddle at work.

You have to visit that pain again, clench your fists - imagine yourself as a child again - hold it - then it disappears. Perhaps you can also visit every new home - then face that pain again. For fear attracts the things that feed the fear, people do not understand how much work it takes to sustain fear, one has to rest from it. In the moments that one rests from fear one lies to oneself - who is fearful, not me!

2 maxims composed for this post:

Fear expresses the absence of well being.

The Karma of leaving an old house to a new house is not a new chapter, not even a new sentence nor even a new word bit it is the space between words.

december meditation to make one lighter = end of year

2013-12-23T01:18:00.001-08:00

On saturday i was out all day doing shopping with the wife, then stuck in traffic. Lastly i had to give out presents. When i did try to relax -the wife wanted to spend more time with me. I was tired, then I had to wake up at 6.30 am to start work at 7 - after work I told my wife that I was tired before work and now I am even more tired. This is the common story at Christmas.

This this can help relax the fatigue in 2 minutes

:

1 Walk for 1 minute and imagine becoming lighter and lighter
2 keep walking 1 minute more imagine your thoughts becoming lighter

I have added 3 aphorisms related to this exercise that I just composed:

Walk with the style of forgetting.

The weight of thoughts is the gravity of the soul.

Walk and think in sync.

Remedy For Violent Coughs Caused By Flu (extreme remedy)

2013-03-04T23:33:00.003-08:00

First cough remedies do not work, only good for light coughing. There is also very little information out there

like

85 home remedy submissions for Cough

than the usual blah blah blah

http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/features/cough-relief-how-lose-bad-cough

then the Buteyko breathing technique

which literally teaches you how to breathe through your nose - which is quite useful as it forces mucous out of the neck and you spit it out, and the cough seems to disappear for an hour.

Also there is a useful book that u can rent if u use Amazon Prime:

Close Your Mouth: Self help Buteyko manual

but all this is slightly going into Asthma territory:

There is also a danger of voice loss:

d-thinker X-treme remedy in 5 steps:

Ibuprofen Tablets do help before you go to sleep when coughs go severe, though they have limited results with fever, so at the start of the fever you should mix them with paracetamol - safe as long as you are over 16 years old. But Ibuprofen will target the cough, even with voice loss due to inflammation it will bring your voice back.

Extra strong mints, buy a value pack, for when you are working, have some in the car, or handbag, and most importantly where you sleep. Honey is good for light coughs only, and you end up with a gluey and sticky mouth!

So u wake up in the middle of the night, try to face where the cool air is coming from - this may be about turning you ahead away from your partner! Hold your breath and breath slowly according to the Buteyko method.

4 - my own find

This was something I discovered by accident, argan oil - a tablespoon can be used internally and will stop the cough in its tracks. If you use a small capful it will still last only a hour. This is the d-thinker recommendation:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Argan-Oil-Organic-100-ml/dp/B002DQHIE0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1362467633&sr=8-7

You must consider a cough is simply inflamed skin, though inner skin is different from outer skin as Argan is mostly used for outer skin, slowly allow a tablespoon to flow down the neck. This actually saved my life, as I had such a violent cough and even threw up in the middle of the night.

5 - FOR THE MORNING WHEN THE COUGH PRETENDS TO BE GONE:

a cheap steam cup like

Steam Inhaler Cup

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Medisure-MS05475-Steam-Inhaler-Cup/dp/B004GK0R2G/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1362468154&sr=1-1-catcorr

You can use with 2 lemon oil drops with boiling water. They do not recommend with boiling water but it is the best way to use.

Last Words

It is important to tackle the cough quickly because it gets very little sympathy, it is like falling over a banana skin - well it is funny till it happens to u.

I just had my worst flu ever, it was very tough even for a healthy vegetarian but keeping busy in the day is also a good way to keep cough at bay. In the day most of my thoughts move to philosophy - see thinking-time.blogspot.com

AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO THE PSYCHOLOGIST 9 OF 22

2013-01-19T00:59:00.002-08:00

http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/110109.htm

If this could be sustained, and other visions of a far different kind be withdrawn, and this one ravish, and absorb, and envelope its beholder amid these inward joys, so that his life might be eternally like that one moment of knowledge which we now sighed after, were not this Enter into the joy of Your Lord? Matthew 25:21 And when shall that be? When we shall all rise again; but all shall not be changed.

1

and my shoulders to Your light burden, Matthew 11:30

This was the part that Nietzsche attacked, when he mentioned that one should make one's weaknesses one's strength.

But we all carry different kinds of weights from others, it is not just spiritual burden, we all carry emotional and mental weight, and also other things on my back.

Carrying the weight of others can develop internal strength, in weakness I am tempted to unload, but I exercise myself internally, I allow the weight to push me down, then I raise myself up a few times and the weight disappears.

My poem written in 19-01-2013

I look at all religions as I look at all hearts,
and the weight of the dim wind in my chilled aches.

Sense what cannot be sensed - doubt what cannot be doubted;
and shout through whispers in the awakening morning dew of a Saturday.

2

Many things like hope, and light can be like dead end streets without spiritual belief, for it make us light, what else does make us light?

3

Faith is given a face, Your face, Lord, will I seek

the face being a metaphor for expressing and observing at the same time.

The face being a mirror to sublime things as a source of light or a well of hope.

4

Holy men (and women) see religion as a tool, but holy men like Augustine are advantaged, in India he may be a Sikh, but holy people see religion as a tool. They are already halve way with no help.

Holy people are naturally gifted spiritually but religion helps them to channel their gifts, but less through belief but more through talent.

5

I also believe that the term weakness means something entirely different and much more spiritual and less political than it is now (the present time) in the spirit or weather of truth, from the rain of the cloud of sorrow of Augustine: to walk barefoot on stone and weed to an aesthetic place to reflect.

Consider the case of weakness, with women and the church, who were refused higher status.

7

The death of his mother

I closed her eyes; and there flowed a great sadness into my heart, and it was passing into tears, when my eyes at the same time, by the violent control of my mind, sucked back the fountain dry, and woe was me in such a struggle! But, as soon as she breathed her last the boy Adeodatus burst out into wailing, but, being checked by us all, he became quiet. In like manner also my own childish feeling, which was, through the youthful voice of my heart, finding escape in tears, was restrained and silenced. For we did not consider it fitting to celebrate that funeral with tearful plaints and groanings; for on such wise are they who die unhappy, or are altogether dead, wont to be mourned. But she neither died unhappy, nor did she altogether die. For of this were we assured by the witness of her goodconversation, her faith unfeigned, 1 Timothy 1:5 and other sufficient grounds.

from a Sikh text:

In the fourth watch of the night, O my merchant friend, your body grows old and weak. Your eyes go blind, and cannot see, O my merchant friend, and your ears do not hear any words. Your eyes go blind, and your tongue is unable to taste; you live only with the help of others. With no virtue within, how can you find peace?

A DRINK FOR THE WINTER (BUT STOP IF U HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS) INDIAN TONIC WATER

2012-10-03T01:41:00.002-07:00

This has a herb called Quinine

Quinine is an effective muscle relaxant, long used by the Quechua, who are indigenous to Peru, to halt shivering due to low temperatures.

D-Thinker

I guess it works against the effects of cold which can stiffen joints, as Indian Tonic Water can relax muscles it can be soothing to the joints. U can also try a bed with

Sleepwell Luxury 100 Percent Cotton Double Heated Mattress Cover with Intelliheat Technology and Dual Control. Their is a cheaper one but u cannot beat cotton!!!!!!!!!!

5 QUESTIONS ABOUT HONEY FROM A VEGETARIAN PERSPECTIVE

2012-08-14T02:27:00.001-07:00

1

PROCESSED HONEY VS PROCESSED WHITE SUGAR (SAME AS BROWN SUGAR UNLIKE RICE)

WHICH IS MORE HEALTHY?

2

ARE BEES EXPLOITED TO MAKE HONEY? 1 TABLESPOON OF HONEY PER BEE!

3

ARE WE STEALING THEIR HONEY AND REPLACING THEIR WINTER FOOD SUPPLY WITH SUGAR?

4

I KNOW THAT BEES ARE CURIOUS, WHEN THEY COME INTO MY BEDROOM - SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE. AND THEY WILL COME BACK LATER. THOUGH IF YOU PUT SOME BLEACH NEAR A WINDOW FEW BEES WILL ENTER. CURIOSITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH INTEREST, AND INTEREST WITH FEELING WHICH COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE? PERHAPS THE CURIOSITY IS ABOUT LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BEEHIVE? HUMANS ARE ALSO FOND OF LIVING IN GOOD AREAS' AND COMPLAIN WHEN THEIR PENSION IS STOLEN!

5

SO THE BEES THAT MAKE EXPENSIVE HONEY IN FARMS FOR THEIR WINTER ARE NOT BEING FED WITH HONEY BECAUSE IT IS SO EXPENSIVE BUT CHEAP REPLACEMENT SUGAR, WHICH WILL AFFECT THE ENZYMES THE BEES MAKE THAT PRODUCE THE HONEY - THIS WILL AFFECT THE HONEY MADE. EVEN IF IT IS MADE FROM WILD HIVES - THIS WILL AFFECT THE SURVIVAL OF THE BEES NEXT YEAR?

DRINKING TOO MUCH WHITE OR GREEN TEA MAKES YOUR MOUTH DRY

2010-11-10T02:58:00.000-08:00

I always wondered why the Chinese tea pots were so small?

Perhaps too MUCH tea can make your throat dry!

Why?

I found this in a forum?

Mon, Jul-26-04, 13:53

Yes, I have a really dry mouth when I stop drinking. Apparently it's because your body has let go of the stores of water usually stored in your body. Because there's a constant flow of water coming in. ( you drinking so much) Your mouth is dry because you have stopped drinking for a few hours and it's your body's way of asking for more.

Now I'm not sure how much this is scientifically true, but this is waht someone told me. It seems to make sense!link

D-Thinker

People on diets tend to drink more, as it makes them feel full, but if the body stops taking from the blood; it could lead an increase in weight!

OPRAH WINFREY 5 POSITIVE THINGS (REMASTERED AND EXPANDED)

2010-04-08T01:11:00.000-07:00

I remember Oprah on her show had made it a point to interview people who were writing diaries of 5 positive things each day.

Oprah Quote:
Keep a grateful journal. Every night, list five things that happened this day that you are grateful for. What it will begin to do is change your perspective of your day and your life. If you can learn to focus on what you have, you will always see that the universe is abundant; you will have more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never have enough.

Yeah, yeah; but I remember Edward de Bono saying that it is not enough to point to an interesting direction - you must follow it too. Why not try this:

1- 5 positive things today
2- 5 positive things yesterday
3- 5 positive things in my life

to balance the equation

4-5 negative things today
5-5 negative things yesterday
6-5 negative things in my life

then you imagine a see-saw with bad things on one side and the good on the other side:

It is a more scientific approach, making the exercise a long term investment to yourself emotionally.

Bonus - What is happiness?

There is no satisfactory answer in Wikipedia, it goes this way - it is a state of mind. But what state of mind - dictionaries are even worse? This is quite silly because we all ask ourselves unconsciously are we happy. So I was thinking yesterday, I have perhaps got the wrong take on this, happiness is not SEEN - happiness is FELT. It sounds like a proverb, maybe it is everything inside of oneself in unity, when all aspects of oneself makes peace with each other.

AUM SHANTI...I AM PEACE

QUICK BODY FIX: HEART AND LIVER, ENERGY AND STOP COLDS

2009-12-26T01:02:00.000-08:00

If U have been drinking too much, the normal remedy is milk thistle. Another alternative, is Yoga, THIS POSTURE CALLED THE BRIDGE IS AIMED AT THE LIVER:

This is a good animation of the process -
www.abc-of-yoga.com/yogapractice/thebridge.asp

So what about the heart, 20 mins aerobics - if you don't have the time, I was thinking - why not try another Yoga posture, but perhaps something more is needed. So I tried Heart Chakra Exercise in google:

www.futurehi.net/archives/000788.html

This is a mental meditation, and it works. So you have to keep your eyes open, so u can read the instructions. This is a page to save, and put somewhere.

There is a herbal remedy for heart burn, which involves heated sesame seeds, that I found in a Chinese Herbal book. It sounds silly, but if you lightly heat sesame seeds till they go brown, have a small tea spoon - the heart burn will go away. I can find no link in google about this, but it is to do with essential acids.

On energy try putting a table spoon of parsley in boiling water, leave for a few hours then store in a bottle and put in the fridge, add a few drops of soya sauce for taste. It should stay fresh for a week. Have about a quarter of a cup each day. So why does this work? It is very high in Vitamin C, it is also about how you take Vitamin C - tablets tend not to work very well.

So for colds try replacing milk, with soya milk. Even half a cup will do. Chocolate soya is also available....look around a few stores! I have sensed colds coming and going in the same day, when u try the soya milk together with the parsley cold tea.

ON ARGUING INSPIRED BY AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO THE PSYCHOLOGIST 8 OF 22

2009-02-28T20:23:00.000-08:00

BOOK - 8 http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/120108.htm

Diary Thinker - On Arguments, Inspired By Book 8

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/argue

Perhaps the key to make argumentation a discussion, is not to go deeper, but to sink a certain depth....that is greater than the person or system one is at odds with, and to examine all angles. This methodology is displayed here in this book.

What are arguments, is it not karma, or politics: it depends on where one is coming from. From a religious side argumentation can be about making a judgment in a critical fashion, and come from a moral world-view. If I were to call this kind of argumentation critical argumentation, few perhaps would argue with that! Perhaps this type is not popular with people that argue, as it can leave one drained, and physically exhausted, opinionated argumentation is more popular with people that may look for arguments.

Perhaps argumentation is intense discussion, expressions are amplified....But in the end argumentation is about looking at our own views.

2 last words

1

copy and paste from book 8:

For it is easy for earthly and mundane gods to be angry, being made and composed by men out of either nature; thus giving us to understand that he believed that demons were formerly the souls of dead men....

2

mantra for today: advantages and diadvantages of arguing, repeat 180, no 198 times!

APPENDIX - DIFFERENT TYPES OF ARGUMENTATION

KIDS ARGUE IN A PLAYFUL WAY, A CARICATURE OF SHAKESPEAREAN DRAMA, THIS IS WHERE WE LEARN OUR METHODOLOGY IN ARGUMENTATION:

PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTATION, AM I ARGUING ABOUT ARGUING? A FULL WORK OUT IN THE GYM!

CHARACTER ASSASSINATION, THIS IS INTERESTING, AS IT DEPENDS ON THE MOTIFS OF THE ACCUSER, AND WHETHER THEY ARE BASED ON STRENGTH OR WEAKNESS(SUCH AS ENVY OR BEING A DIFFICULT PERSONA):

FINAL WORD

Arguing may reveal hidden, or repressed emotions that may be connected to another person who is connected to the person you are arguing to, or the very person one is arguing with. I am writing about very deep and ugly repressed emotions that can not be faced with pen on paper. d-thinker

BONUS - PSYCHOLOGY EXPERIMENT FOR TODAY

Animals with an innate phobia of novelty have higher levels of stress hormones after a new experience and die significantly younger than their braver kin, new research has found. The work suggests that a lifetime of fearful stress can take an accumulated toll on health. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4458-fear-of-new-things-shortens-life.html

ON NOISE - SILENCE IS EASY - UPDATED AUG 2012

2008-01-17T03:02:00.000-08:00

Whether at work, or home we all need some amount of silence each day. These ear plugs (above)have 2 settings, one for high frequencies and one for low frequencies, snoring. Noise can come from work, or from a noisy family, a less efficient method would be to have a bath - sometimes the ears fill up with water, and act as ear plugs.

Research also suggests that too much noise can lead to Dyslexia:

"If a child has a hard time ignoring 'noise,' it could distort speech perception and complication
[the recognition] of sound segments, which is essential for learning how to read," says researcher Anne Sperling of Georgetown University Medical Center in a news release.link
Though noise is simply sound with less patterns, as with different kinds of music, you may
like it if you can connect to the patterns in the music. I had an encounter at work yesterday,
and has led to an increase in my usual anxiety, life style could be linked to anxiety due to
the threat of a disruption in one's life style pattern.

So patterns are important to our health.

A definition of noise:

Noise cannot exist without sounds but sounds need interpretation before they can become noise. In the wording of Sanford Fidell at the workshop: "Noise is a sound that someone considers too inconvenient to control". This definition reveals the essentially political nature of noise annoyance.link
One way to release tension in ears is to put some sesame seed oil in the cap, and pour gently into the ear, while tilting the head.
Then the same for the other ear. The oil can also be used to stop wounds scaring.
Wax can be removed by using a special cleaning fluid - do not put anything in your ear.

Shouting, or talking too loud can also be seen as noise. Try to reiterate the noise in your mind but say it quietly. This is my new idea on this topic, any feedback on this idea will be helpful.

The vitamin has been reified. A chemical intangible originally
defined as a unit of nutritive value, it was long ago reified into a pill.
Now it is a pill; no one except a few precise scientists define it as anything else

The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink.
So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together,
and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it.
To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit.

ON BLOOD PH - 7 IS ALRIGHT

2007-07-24T03:26:00.000-07:00

4.5 could mean you are a cancer magnet!

So why is this?

If your blood is acidic it is less stable.

Tell me some obvious examples?

If you have an ulcer, it is caused by acid in the stomach, spirits are highly acidic.

Also voice loss, or cancer in the throat can be caused by acid reflux.

Go into details?

More acid means having less ability to carry oxygen, but cells need oxygen!

How do I test my PH?

I do not know, some sites that say PH testing is good, do sell PH paper, whereas saliva, or urine PH testing is not testing the PH of the blood.

Will drinking h20 do the trick?

It will just dilute the blood, but the PH balance will stay the same?

I thought Dr-Thinker - acid will make me stronger, I like Chili food and a drink, look at that Alien monster in the film Alien, their blood was very acidic?

There bodies were more suited to a HIGH acidic level. As I guess the reason for this was that there is less oxygen in space.

What about calcium?

You should be taking multi-vitamin tablets anyway?

But, tell me this, vitamin C is an acid, but many say it is a good for me, though oranges are obviously acid!

Remember there is always an exception, yep.

But I never get colds and I suspect I am too acidic?

Can I use a copy and paste to answer this:

So why is it that there are so many reports of plain ascorbic acid aiding in the fight against colds and infection? The answer is pH balance. Ascorbic acid lowers the pH of the blood making it more acidic. Since most pathogenic bacteria flourish in an alkaline environment, specifically in a pH of 7.4 and above, it is safe to say that many would have a hard time existing in a medium altered by ascorbic acid.link

So is there something that u can add more that is not acidic?

Ester-C Tablets - Non-acidic stomach friendly Vitamin C Stomach-friendly Vitamin C. PS this is not a commercial
Also people are called of Fire type in Vedic philosophy that are acidic, which could mean hot-tempered, Fire is one of the 5 elements, this acidic energy is called Pitta energy. The 5 elements does suggest a more complex way of seeing this discussion, instead of a PH thing with a statistic chart linking cancer to acid blood. Fire is also connected to the voice, see this chart.

So waht is the Indian connection, what is Pitta energy?

Vedic is similar to the Chinese Herbal Medicine, it is called Ayurveda medicine. The acidic state is called a Pitta state, which has nothing to do with Pitta bread. But there are 3 different personalities, and hence there is also the idea of harmony in my life. Ayurveda's philosophy hints there are advantages and disadvantages of being a certain type, I know somebody at work who is obviously Kapha, he is a slow but sure type, who may spend a week on such a post, but it will be more comforting to a blog reader, I am a Pitta type, and I like to write with passion.

Time for another copy and paste?

Vata Personality : Vata, the first of the three doshas is constituted by the elements earth and air. It is responsible for entire body movements and mind activities including blood circulation, respiration, speech, sensation, hearing, touch, excretion, natural urges, formation of foetus, the sexual act, retention and feeling like fear, anxiety, grief and enthusiasm. In short, most of the physical phenomena associated with the nervous system of human beings can be identified with Vata. People of vata constitution are generally physically underdeveloped with flat chests and prominent veins and muscle tendons. The complexion is brown, the skin is cold, rough, dry and cracked. Vata people tend to be either too tall or too short. Physiologically, the appetite and digestion are variable. Vata people loves sweet, sour and salty tastes and like hot drinks. The production of urine is scanty and the faeces are dry, hard and small in quantity. They have a tendency to perspire less and also sleep less than other constitutional types. Psychologically, they are characterized by short memory but quick receptability. They have little strength of will, tend toward mental insecurity and possess little tolerance, confidence or boldness. The imbalance of the vata dosha may lead to a wide range of complications like worry anxiety, chronic tiredness, insomnia, underweight, constipation, skin dryness, mental confusion, impulsiveness and fast and disconnected speech.

Pitta Personality : Pitta, the second of the three doshas comes from fire and is responsible for digestion, thirst, hunger, heat regulation, vision, softness and luster, intellect, cheerfulness and sexual vigor. People of pitta constitution are of medium height, slender and with delicate body frame.The veins, muscles and tendons are not as prominent as in the vata people. These people have a complexion that may be coppery, yellowish, reddish or fair. The skin is soft, warm and less wrinkled than vata skin. Physiologically, these people have a strong metabolic system, good digestive ability and a strong appetite. The person of pitta constitution usually takes large quantities of food and liquid. Pitta types have a natural desire for sweet, bitter and caustic tastes and enjoy cold drinks. Though of medium duration, their sleep is uninterrupted. They produce a large volume of urine and the faeces are yellowish, liquid, soft and plentiful. There is a tendency towards slightly high body temperature with excessive perspiration. Psychologically, pitta people have a good comprehensive power and tend to possess intelligence and sharp intellect. The signs of pitta dosha imbalance include impatience, digestive problems, vision difficulties, a tendency to endeavour excessively to achieve goals ,and many more.

Kapha Personality : Kapha, the third of the three doshas comes from the basic elements of earth and water, and makes up all the solid structures of the body. It is responsible for firmness, binding, heaviness, strength, sexual potency, forbearances and restraints. People of kapha constitution have well-developed bodies and naturally, a strong tendency to carry excess weight. The veins, tendons and bones are not prominent but the muscle development is good.These people have fair and bright complexion with soft and lustrous skin.

FINAL WORD - UP

So if you are more alkaline and are Kapha, you may be more prone to colds, and less to cancer, and then acid foods may be more beneficial. Vice versa for Pitta types, of the Vata type could be in between, perhaps David Bowie is a Vatta type.

Update of my Theory on Panic Attacks

2007-07-05T02:17:00.000-07:00

posted - 14/11/08 - see below

The usual theory on Panic Attacks is that they develop from a very young age (2-4 year old) and this can be due to problems. Why they develop in very young people can be due to their limited resources to deal with things. Limitations can include a feeling of having less toys, the child can deal with this by increasing their sensitivity, or an amplification of life so they appreciate the toys that they already have. This may solve the problem, but this sensitivity is an amplification of life, or a distortion of life: life may become too loud, causing anxiety in older age.

There are different kinds of amplification in life, which are caused by sensitivities, it is basically how very young children deal with problems.

This may be difficult to understand, so here are 3 examples:

Lack of expression could cause an increase in sensitivity to colour

Lack of comfort could cause an increase in sensitivity to food

Lack of aesthetics in life could cause an increase in sensitivity to nature

Yesterday I did suggest to a person, who was suffering from long-term depression at work, that he may not be depressed but is suffering from tension caused by a sensitivity, I did sense some kind of internal response (body language), though there was an expected blank expression on his face. So I continued in the same line, that he has not had much bad luck in his life, he agreed.

p.s WHAT IS ANXIETY?

FEAR

Most people tidy themselves by sweeping their fear under the internal carpet of their perception.

posted - 24/03/08 (Easter Monday) - see below

Many Bloggers, I mean people suffer from them, I did notice this xanga post with over a hundred people admitting they have had panic attacks. My research suggests 80 percent of people suffer from anxiety, at work the other 20 percent tend to become managers (SOME WITH POWER COMPLEXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), with usual exceptions etc.

xanga post on panic attacks

Many believe that panic attacks are brought on by the fear of having one, so they indirectly face panic attacks, I would call these effectual or reflective panic attacks. Some may feel that they are something new, and come from nowhere, but the truth is that one may have accustomed oneself to a very sensitized state. Panic attacks are not really panic attacks, but anxiety attacks. It is like an alarm, so where does the sensitised state come from, perhaps it can come from phobia, such as fear of knives (which may be related to a past incidence), or a fear of spaces (agoraphobia) which may be linked to flying dreams which is a classic anxiety dream. So what is anxiety, but fear! Repressed memories from the past, psychologists can be expensive, though you can get charity, or state funded counselling, though younger psychologists will have lesser experience.

A writing feelings technique for repressed emotions:

1 wait for a fear to surface, anything that stirs u up
2 remember this is not the repressed memory, but a clue
3 keep reading what u wrote 3 times
4 wait for some thing else to stir u up, now read both things 3 times
5 keep at it, till u admit something or discover something, so one sinks deeper and deeper. One will realise that 1 was just a surface bubble, one needs to go down into this ocean. Do not worry about writing errors, for they can be read in different ways, and could ignite the unconscious more and make the steps of 2,3, 4 and 5 easier.

I have some posts with comments on Panic Attacks with some interesting comments, for simplicity I have left them out. See Google search for this blog and type: panic attack to find these other posts.

Though it has been a few years since my last update.

One can lose one's sense of clarity during Panic Attacks, one loses much reason, rather than one lies to oneself.

Critical thinking exercises could help - link to these exercises.

As one can then examine oneself, basically what thought is causing my anxiety?

This would be different for different people, but critical thinking does imply a thinking that stabilises thoughts, and can prevent anxiety in this way.

As with interviews for a new job the first impression is important, as with my theory on how one enters from the most safe area to outside their most safe area. Also the first impression is considered to be the only impression in the interview. Secondly, a daring attitude is more suited in creating that first impression in the interview i.e the strong handshake.

NOTE

According to a comment in a previous post, I have been reminded that the theory assumes an external impulse instead of an internal impulse.

This does change the direction of my posts, for there are many directions one can go, I do not want to just go in any direction : this is a utility Blog.

Men Should Exercise To Reduce Their Risk Of Broken Bones In Later Life

2007-06-21T04:38:00.000-07:00

Serious fractures are common among older people and can have devastating consequences, particularly if a hip is broken. It is already recommended that women should take exercise to reduce the thinning of their bones, but now research published in PLoS Medicine shows that men too can help avoid fractures if they participate in sport or other vigorous activity. link

Children over-reacting!

2007-06-05T00:17:00.000-07:00

As adults we make too many decisions - all too many. Through a rush and a push one goes through life, instant decisions, followed by instant food, followed by instant television - reality television. Yesterday, I was playing with some video capture software, and I ended up going to work with my head spinning, one should take breaks! But my over-reaction to something that just seemed like a challenge got me to think about it and made me over careful, but by being over careful I was able to work it out: for things that were not logical became logical.

So how do children over-react, or how do they react to us!

In a New York Times article

The Disorder Is Sensory; the Diagnosis, Elusive

they believe it to be due to the senses sending the wrong signals to the brain, but Individualism sees this as a gift, for differences in sensual perception are a form of normalism, there is no wrong or right! Or how the brain receives this sensory info...

Perhaps there is nothing wrong with these children, as the world is becoming more sinister - children are sensitive to it, and some feel they should grow up faster, some react more, or some become more violent, as it may help them to deal with an increasingly violent world when leaders laughingly play chess with soldiers lives, over national ego trips.

From pg 3 of the New York Times article:

Spencer Cambor, 9, of Boulder, Colo., said that he had an assortment of sensitivities, from smells and tastes (“Lettuce is so bad I almost throw up. Really throw up.”) to a feeling of being cramped or crowded, which kept him in perpetual motion.

Spencer is still unusually sensitive, said his father, Roger Cambor, a psychiatrist, but added that after months of occupational therapy, “there was a marked change; all of a sudden he could sit in a circle when asked, he settled down, his handwriting got much better.”

One has to wonder about the idea of normality, what is normal, or different. For many leaders worry about differences between countries, as parents worry about differences within children: we are getting closer and closer to clone culture or quick decisions.

RAZOR BURN OR TECHNICA NAME IS Psuedofolliculitis Barbae (PFB)

2007-05-22T02:29:00.000-07:00

This is a good tip FOR MEN:

Razor burn can be easily prevented if the very last strokes on your face with the razor are with the grain, not against it. In other words, you can shave as instructed above AND in any direction to get a close shave, but be sure that the very last strokes on your face are with the grain of your beard (typically a top-to-bottom stroke). Reason: The strokes of the razor blade actually changes the way your pores will grow the new hair. As such, you want to be sure to "reset" the grain of your beard by ensuring the last strokes are with the grain, or top to bottom. Works like a charm. link

FOR WOMEN:

If you shave the pubic area, you remove the tapered end of the hair and, as the hair grows back without that tapered end, the sharpness will literally cut the skin surrounding the hair follicle.link

I found this advice on a shopping site:

While shaving with one hand, use the other hand to pull the skin taut.
Rinse the blade frequently, ideally after every stroke.

D-Thinker

I cannot really find a herbal cure, but you can buy products for in grown hair, I guess what works for the man will work for the woman too with waxing.

... try INGROW GO - SKIN DOCTORS which you can get from BOOTS, which I have tested, but it is also suitable for women. Though the BOOTS version does not work. Also the direction of the hair growth may not be down, but could start sideways, then change angle to a more upward one, and go on a right-diagonal course for men.

TIP FOR A HEADACHE AT WORK

Put some Lavender on a handkerchief, if you feel a headache you can wipe your headache away with the handkerchief.
