10 Ways Meditation Adds Value to Your Life

Untitled Infographic

Our life has become a path of success, failure, jealousy, anger, frustration and many such things and silence and inner peace is something which is left for the books only. From dawn to dusk our mind is full of ideas how to earn more at any expense. Life is for living and living starts with more expenses and expensive life style. However in gaining all this we have forgotten to be calm, to be meditative.
Swami Vivekananda says: “We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care of what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”
Our desire gives an idea for mind to think and our mind becomes a store house of cobweb of multiple ideas and emotions. It is very important to keep a close eye on our mind and learn to relinquish everything aside and learn to live.
Osho says: “Mediation is surrender. It is not a demand. It is not forcing existence your way. It is relaxing into the way existence wants you to be.  It is a let-go.
Mediation can add value to our life. Get some time for mediation and when your mind learns to meditate soon you will cut its rich defendants:

  • Improves Communication Skills

One must have noticed while speaking that when he or she is in anger words just slip out and everything moves into wrong direction. Anger overcomes your reasoning faculty of mind. Anger is a disturbing drop into your mind. When the mind is silent your words are within your control. As you know when the river is calm then its reflection is clearer. When the mind is calm, then the reflection of your personality is clearer. Meditation is the tonic for the mind that clears the cobweb of the mind, that drops the inhibitions and the barriers of the effective communication.

  • Gives  Clarity of mind

Mind is a thing that keeps on thinking. It is a place where new ideas and thoughts keep on growing. Sometimes emotions like frustration, anger, depression get a strong hold of it and mind fails to come to any decisions and conclusion. Mind just remains working and it seems things have become too heavy to cope with any further. Mind needs to be silent, to be in meditation.  When mind is silent, mind gets things crystal clear.  Then it is easier to take the right decisions which are nothing but a combination of intuition and intelligence that happens only in a calm state of mind.

  • Nurtures Creativity

When mind is calm our thought gets time to see things clearly and understanding becomes easier. At such moment it is easier to be creative and natural. Meditation transports the mind into a new state where it is easy to write your personal thoughts and ideas in the creative form like poetry, drama or novel.

  • Refreshes the Mind

In our life we need time to bath our mind afresh by going out on vacation to get rid of the humdrum of daily life and its extravagances. Meditation gives you an opportunity to cut off from all such things. It makes you calm, fresh and relaxed. It just takes you away from the rest of the world and your mind gets focused only on one thing or on the emptiness.

  • Rejuvenates You

In this world of dissatisfaction and disturbance we are often burdened with several unwanted incidences and thoughts and it becomes difficult to shake it off. These things make our mind emotional garbage for years. Meditation helps to shake that off, feel rejuvenated and helps us move on.

  • Spreads Happiness & Peace

As we know happiness begets happiness.  A happy mind can make other person happy too. Meditative mind is peaceful, satisfied and full of positive thoughts that help in influencing others and finding new avenues in life.

  • Develops a Pleasant Personality

In our day to day life we come across several people who seem to be a reactionary force, always in rush, angry as if ready to fight. Reaction makes you angry and anger is nothing but a half or temporary madness. Now a day more and more people are angry in life due to several reasons.  Your mediation offers you a pleasant personality by allowing you to listen to others patiently and reply to them with patience. Such personal trait grows with mediation.

  • Gives You an Unshakable Smile

One must have heard that smile costs one nothing but it can bring wonders in life. Your peaceful mind allows you to smile.

  • Makes You a Master of Time

When your mind is silent you can learn things faster. This can bring some time of leisure or it can help you to earn more.

  • Heals & Harmonizes

If you are in any emotional problems then start doing meditation and it will help you with healing and soon the mind will be calm, alert and totally contented.

Benefits of wider butts

benefits of wide butts

It is said that everyone loves big butts, and there are also lot of reasons why we should appreciate large butts according to science research. Here are some benefits of having big butts:

  • Prevent diabetes or heart problems – women with bigger butts have lower levels of cholesterol and glucose, which reduces the risk of having diabetes and heart problems
  • Longer life – studies conducted by universities inCaliforniaand Pittsburgh found out that having bigger butts and small waist can conribute to a longer life
  • Protect lower back – bigger buts help with walking by propeeling your legs forward. Having weak butt means that other smaller muscles are used to help with walking which can lead to strains in back, hips and knees
  • Help with correct posture – Strong butt can help you to stand straight as it lenghtens hip flexors.
  • smarter kids – Butt and tigh fat stores a lot of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are then transfered to breast milk during breastfeeding. Some scientists believe that this can result in having smarter kids as Omega-3 helps with development of brain, nervous system and eyes.
  • Help you streamline silhouette –strong butt can help you maintain a good looking silhouette as it helps you keep hips underneath the body whereas peple with weak butts end up pushing their hips forward which pushes belly forward and gives illusion of a gut.
  • Butt fatt is health-wise quite harmless – unlike the white fat in the gut, yellow fat, which is present in butts does not cause high blood pressure or inflamation.
  • ´food reserve´- the fat stored in butts can serve as an energy reserve for when you are too busy to eat – eg too bosy at work for a lunchbreak or too sick to eat.
  • Help with pregnancy – having a big but can help during pregnancy. Big butt can balance out baby belly and helps to relieve strain on spine, which can make walking easier especially during the last months of pregnancy
  • Make women more intuitive – according to studies, women with bigger butts are even more intuitive than women with smaller butts. This is due to the fact that men find women with bigger butts more attractive, so they need to have stronger social skills to choose the correct man.
  • Reduce risk of Diabetes – having big butts and small hips can significantly lower risk of diabetes.
  • Protect harmstrings – harmstrings – muscles that are at the back of the thighs –are very vulnerable to injuries. Strong butts can help protect harmstrings by helping with movements that engage these muscles

Relationship needs time to grow

“Do you have any prejudice against a separated woman?” Last night one of my friends asked me. Soon I clear my idea that no, I have no prejudice. My idea is not to hurry into marriage. Take time, understand the strength of your relation then think to settle in life and when you are settled try to grow into the relationship. Mostly it is seen that relation gets over with the honeymoon.

A woman in bed with you is like a poetry that has its filtered meaning as this woman is now full of romance and passion and their relationship has valued each other to an extent that now they are ready to be one. It connotes that after spending so much time together, finally a strong bond of trust is made and she is ready to unwind herself before her love. Sex is actually the byproduct of your longing for her, for the love stored in the two hearts.

Untitled Infographic (2)

It is true that we often hear about sex that it is the most hampering requirement of our body that never satiates. Actually sex ferments the blood and soon an unknown part of love starts to flow in the blood that propels us to writhe for the closeness. But our relationship ought to realize that this writhe is the magic that should not ever be satiated. Let the magic of sex transport into a long lasting love and into a harmonious relationship that makes a strong bond and a promise to live together forever.

Relationship grows with time and it has the cosmic beauty that holds the meaning of pure understanding of one’s mind and its faculties that store emotions, fear, psyche and several sweet and arid memories which have helped in shaping the personality of a person whom you are in love with. It is more important to spend a good deal of time getting to know each other than rushing into bed. But everyone craves to satisfy their rosy butterflies of sex and fantasy at the unripe stage of relationship which soon can meet the ugly and bare face of disharmony.

My friend is now single, a mother of seven years old girl and now only 32, beautiful and eligible to look for her new Prince Charlie. She was really very honest in her words and expression and expectation. Hope she is now better experienced to measure the strength of relationship before going into the matrimony again.

I agree it is always a difficult to trust someone, as the saying goes: “Once beaten twice shy.” Trust takes time and it becomes very difficult when you have come out of a bad relationship. It really takes a lot of time in opening the heart again. It is better to wait a little for the right time and the right man, who can lull the heart forever.

It is seen that in the initial stage of relationship both try to keep their words sugarcoated so truth takes time but it surely appears. But the one who goes deeper suffers a lot so one always tries to keep the relationship boat on surface.

In fact, Life is a gamble in which marriage is really a very big gamble. After all you can’t know a person until you have spent a good deal of time with him or her. We mostly judge people on their face value. If someone speaks fine, it doesn’t mean he or she is equally good at heart. If we keep our eyes and ears open then gradually we gain maturity and we learn reality better and we judge people from heart and find a better life partner.

It is always good to keep honesty as the best policy in life and in relationship.

The Passion Cloud

The Passion Cloud

Heart is a king of emotions and emotions that write poetry. Emotions like love are very prominent in poetry that no wonder soon love follows the pang of separation and then a melodrama occurs or final rejection. However apart from these range of emotions there comes very important range of emotion such as fear, depression, loneliness, life and its unfathomable experiences, ghost and the purpose of life and et al.

Our outer world always influence our inner world and here is the place of undercurrent that is nothing but the surfeit of emotion that often make poetry as a closer subject to the heart. The beauty of this rich world attract to itself no matter a beautiful woman or man or anything however the inner world struggles stops you and this fear to know the unknown and the fear from unknown make a interplay of emotions which we call it as experience of life and that make an expression of life in a piece of paper as poetry. It is a recuse and recluses of life where poetry give power to store emotions in words.

Poetry doesn’t make only words beautiful but also make life easier and heart touching word as a Good Samaritan and psychopath. Here in the collection of poem – the passion cloud you will have this wonder.

Rising From The Area Of Darkness

12

Life is not just about living, breathing but also growing spiritually, with your memories, experiences and recognizing the presence of God and wondering how He makes his story.  Each time He is with us but in the humdrum of this life people have become so busy and have become such nosy parkers, who are always ready to see, talk and make each story spicier, too spicy to bear that hiding from them seems as a big challenge of this life.

We are living in such society where man-made things are much more important than the God made things, where Money has become so important that it seems that earning money seems as the only reason left to survive.

Radika Rao, a woman who like us has many areas of darkness in her life, dares to go deep into her conscience and from there she reproduces a story, a picture of our society that has some eyes opening realities.

In this world where money has become a magic, where relation gradually started to sound like an empty word and where a son is ready to go to any extent to get money, where mother is fighting to survive and set her life free from her own son, whereas a woman she has not found a place of expression and begs to dump all in the area of darkness.  It becomes very important to get your head from your sorrowful breasts and see the star naked realities of life and cruel face behind the smooth mask of relationship. Then it becomes important to tell your personal story so world can feel the need to change and rise from the area of darkness and make life beautiful.

Guava and its benefit

Guava is one of the best fruit and it is commonly available in different varieties such as the Chinese Guava, Strawberry, Lemon, Apple and Mountain Guava. In tropical regions, it grows throughout the year. When it is ripening its skin color turns from green to yellow and its flesh softens and it gets a fruity aroma. This is a fruit which is commonly seen in our house, mostly in small cities. Young people prefer to eat it when it is green. It means fruit is mature but not ripe. In other words, fruit has reached its optimum size and shape. When it ripens it turns into yellow and fruit gets softened and emits a wonderful guava fragrance. Guava is very beneficial for our body.

Wine and Indian Market

There is Japanese proverb, “Wine is lunatic water.” And this water is now brimming the Indian glasses. India has now become a big market on wine both as a consumer and producer. India has started producing wine and the wine lovers now have got the taste-bud for it. There are several cities like Pune, Nashik, Sangli in Maharashtra, Nandi Hills near Bangalore, and Goa which are producing wine. Maharashtra produces two third of the domestic wine and Goa produces more than 3 lakh liters of wine each year. Now state government is also supporting the wine industry by reducing excise duty.

In India we now have some brand names in wine such as: Sula, Frateli, Krsma, Revillo etc. They are now becoming international brands and they are growing some international grape varieties like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Grillo, Viognier in whites, Shiraz, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Sangiovese and merlot.

Now Indian hard liquor drinkers are coming to wine too. More and more restaurants are opening and big international brand chains are also opening their outlets in India. Now India is becoming a bigger market in terms of hospitality industry.

It is evident that most Indian men preferred to drink hard liquor such as whiskey but now Indian men and women both are enjoying the rich taste of wine. Wine is a great drink and it has a long history and has medicinal and health benefits.

Study says that Wine drinkers are mostly the high profile people and the rich people – estimated nearly 20 million people – which is nearly 2 percent of Indian Population.  These consumers are supposed to have a greater exposure to foreign food through travel and through willingness to try new products.

At present serving wine at dinner is becoming very popular in Delhi and Mumbai. Expensive and imported wines are consumed on special occasions. Red wine is the most popular wine. According to the study, there is a 45 percentage of consumption of red wine, 40 percent of white wine, 10-15 percent of Sparkling wine and 1-5 percent of rose.

It is found that there are four major states Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi and Goa that have a consumption of nearly 75 percent and states like Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bangal have small percentages of consumption.

There is good news that 50 percent of wine is sold through restaurants, bars, hotels and pubs only. People working in corporates, media houses and other such places can easily be seen in these places as dusk begins.

India is now also importing wine from the countries such as France, Australia, Italy, Singapore, UK, USA, UAE, Germany, South Africa, Chile, Spain, New Zealand, Argentina, etc. Million liters of wine are imported every year from these countries.

Always remember another Japanese proverb while sipping wine: Friends and Wine, the older the better.
