Spring is coming

Blossoms over blossoms everywhere

Spring has arrived - winter is done - say good buy to frost and cold

If we think about spring what is on the mind? Let us do a brainstorming:
Fresh start, sun is shining, winter is done....and so on...

What represented all that properties in one thing?

A classical poem

On Time

Fly envious Time, till thou run out thy race,Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours,

Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace;
And glut thy self with what thy womb devours,
Which is no more then what is false and vain,
And meerly mortal dross;
So little is our loss,
So little is thy gain.
For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb'd,
And last of all thy greedy self consum'd,
Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss
With an individual kiss;
And Joy shall overtake us as a flood,
When every thing that is sincerely good
And perfectly divine,
With Truth, and Peace, and Love shall ever shine
About the supreme Throne
Of him, t'whose happy-making sight alone,
When once our heav'nly-guided soul shall clime,
Then all this Earthy grosness quit,
Attir'd with Stars, we shall for ever sit,
Triumphing over Death, and Chance, and thee O Time.

To keep the overview - be and sham

To keep the overview go into a distance and look in a fresh new view on the thing which happened....then you think and feel in another way than before...


be and sham.....

Spirit and purpose of to bend back

In everyday life you bend back rarely to not at all

More you lean forward like doing up the shoelaces. But your backbone should also streched in the other direction. So you have to practice it with for example Yoga.

Please be careful and do it very very very slowly!

Start with Bhujangasana (cobra)

Always tensing your abs in doing so....

As time went by you feel the refreshing in your whole body. You feel reinvisiorated. So lets start :) 

feel free and jump

"Jump" (lyric by Madonna)

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven't got much time to waste
It's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face
But I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own

[Chorus]
Are you ready to jump
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hand
get ready to jump

We learned out lesson from the start
My sisters and me
The only thing you can depend on
Is your family
Life's gonna drop you down like the limbs from a tree
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see

Macro-Microcosmos

The dream to know everything

Mikrokosmos - Makrokosmos

Unsere Wahrnehmung hat einen klar definierten Horizont
Zur Zeit reicht unser Wahrnehmungshorizont von 10 hoch minus 15 (Femtometer) bis über weit 7500 Lichtjahre. Aber nur weil wir uns genau dafür die notwendigen Seh-Hilfen geschaffen haben.
Der große Traum "alles zu sehen"
Hubble und Co ermöglichen uns über unseren Mesokosmos- Tellerrand hinaus zu schauen. Doch ist das, was wir sehen, wirklich das was ist. Was ist das was wir da sehen?

Fresh Start in Spring

Only a few days and winter is done! Ready at last you can come out of your hibernation and make a fresh new start in 2014. Whats your plan? Think about it. What you have or want to do in this year....

Look the shiny sun these days, feel the spring breeze and say good buy to father frost...everythings new....like the blossom find her way....

good pain will change back pain

Are you suffering in backache? So here is a special solution for you: Yantramattan.

A mat you can lay back straight with your whole body for a certain time. At first you feel a big pain by these spiky points. But if you let them go, taking deep breath and concentrate on nothing at all, you will see the pain changing into a warm and enjoyable feeling.

This mat also brings the blood flow forward and gives you a special back massage.

You have to be a lil fakir and acclimate this treatment. Its like to go over glowing embers.

something about motivation

It´s understood that "burnout" is a frequently phenomenon today.
So it forces to ask how is that possible, that you are so dead in that way.
There are many theoretical psychological approaches about the meaning "motivation" but they are often not implementable.

Motivation is the entirety of all your motives and goes back to classical Latin "movere" to move, to push. So it´s something very actively. But you can´t loose your whole energy because if you are motivate in something you get it back like feedback or compliments by others or yourself. Important is for what you will move, whats your passion and what´s your aim. That´s the condition to start. Maybe as a beautiful imagination. Accompanied by a personal dream you find the energy to do things you really want to do.
Tip: to remember your aim/dream/need/passion put a suggestion paper on the mirror 

yoga is popular and timeless

Celebritys and yoga                                                                            

Famous people using yoga to keep body and mind fresh and fit.
So it proves that it isn´t a question of money to stay young and beauty also a question of your own motivation.

Mini-Retirements

...boredom comes as quickly to the traveler who knows his route as to the novelist who is overcertain of his plot... (P. Theroux, To the Ends of the Earth)

from the forest to the concrete jungle - yoga an international affair

First of all i wanna post a subject that is all too frequent in blogs and other ways. But that is similar to practice it. You always learn something new, it will never stop.
Yoga is for bodily and spirit fitness and started by study of nature and envirement. These historical monks imitaded the moves by animals and Co in the forest and their surrounding. So the asanas (yoga posture) were called by names like dog, crow, bridge...

Sneak peek

Next time i will post  several parts of yoga postures and spiritual exercises and their optimize integration in your life. To put it straight: yoga is breathing and around it there are many strategies which you can assimilate in your everyday behavior. Someday you never have to think about it, to go without saying. You do it naturally. A lifestyle of health and sustainability.

apropos sleeping

By the way to the topic sleep (scroll down)

To take siesta is an issue of dispute. Some people say it´s necessary to have a break in the day for filling up the reserves of energy. They cloisters themselfs at home or at another place at work in lunchhour and make "short napping". In Japan it should be normal.

Strategy for finding peace and quite

Some using an audio as a pacifier. There are a special kind of sound which produces certain brainwaves like alpha, beta, delta, ...-waves. You can use a mindmaschine as a brainwaves- stimulation.
In some big or very modern companys it is possible to go for "short-napping".

But other voices argue that its better to hang on the whole day and find a healthy sleep only in the night. But please without coffee in the afternoon ;)

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose...

A rose is a rose is a rose ...is written by Gertrude Stein in 1913 and part of the poem "Sacred Emily". It became a famous statement and means "things are what they are" and the fact that simply using the name of a thing, in that case "rose" in repetition, already invokes the imagery and emotions associated with it.

Let´s hear it for flowers

My intention for that post. Buy or pick some and give as a present to yourself or somebody else.

Beautiful flowers, beautiful curiosity. Why are you so fragnant, aesthetic and still short-lived...

In addition to sleep

condition for a perfect sleep:

First of all have a quite room, short ventilated before and nippy. At best without any heating. Better to find the warmth under your blanket. The perfect pillow is an individual decision. Important is that your neck and head got the right position otherwise you got tensions and you feel sleep-deprived.
Although you need a complete dark room without any light howsoever small. Because it´s  important for your melatonin production. Melatonin is a hormone which regulated your sleep.

At the end in that post my lovely dreamer you should have a glass of water (within reach). Human being loses a half liter liquid per sleep.

Then have beautiful dreams...maybe of a heavenly place like that...

Sleep the cheapest beautymaker ever

SLEEP - I think this could become a big topic and will go into series. There are so many aspects about this simple thing sleep like dream, condition and preparation.

How curios human being is falling in sleep every day
We need this rest and relaxation average from six to nine hours per day. What happen in this state of unconsciousness. The literature and fiction is full of speculative stories. At organic level we need the stages of sleep for recovering several part of our body. There is a definition of time of day and one specific organ. For example at roundabout 2h am its time for regeneration of hepatic and so on. Universal valid: you have to go to bed before midnight and sleep ideally 8 hours. Then your organs get the best chance for revival.

weakness of connective tissue

continuation of the line "acid-base-balance" (skroll down)

Short explanation of phenomenon "cellulite" and the cause and consequence by a acid-base-balance.

Weakness of the connective tissue comes into being by an excess of acid in your body. It effects premature aging and atrophy of connective tissue. After a long time (it needs a time of development, you never get it quick!) connective tissue would be more and more weakened and lost its flexibility. The result: pockets of orange-peel skin

They say often this is genetically determined but that´s not quite right.

You can beware a healthy connective tissue by practice a base oriented conduct of life. Sure it needs a while for adaptation but it´s worth it. Because you feel better in many ways.

moringa - whats that?

This plant is nutritionally a multi-talent. It has got several names like horse radish tree, moringa oleifera  or drumsticktree. It is said that of all plants on this planet, Moringa is the one with the widest range of nutrients. Moreover the components are complementary in such a special way that the function of bioavailability is highly guaranteed.

If you buy some seeds (look at the photo at beginning) you can grow moringa at home.

Here you see the whole tree

and here the powder. Buy it and put it in your shake or stuff like that everyday.

Content top 7:
- roughage
- enzyme
- essential fatty acid
- minerals
- proteins  here: 18 of the 20 amino acids
- vitamines
- phytamines

have fun to keep the balance

here a lil´ special by the way: To check your intensity and your flow inside you can use this funny thing.

You start to stand with both sides till you got the calm inside and stand still. Then start to count your breath and/or close your eyes and hold the balance.

Next step is to find this stability on one side and pull up your other leg, maybe food up. But play with the variations. Its fun and you feel better after.

Selftest and test result

Depending on the time of the day and food assimilation the acid -base-status varies

Conduct the test 2 times: early in the morning - normal result = yellowish
                                         mid-afternoon           - normal result = strong bluish

                  If no normal color: Eat four time "base-food" like potatoes, fruits, vegetable, still water, spice-herb blend like parsley and raw milk as much "acid-food" like meat, products with a lot of sugar, alcohol and coffee and repeat the test after a week.                

acid alkaline balance

Before we´re talking about the background of acid-base equilibrium and the procedures of acid base metabolism, i advice to do the test with stripes. You get it in drugstores or wherever, maybe online pharmacy.
Based on the stripes you can find out your acid alkaline status.
Why it´s important for your body and what does it mean in relating to beauty and health, i will explain next time.

pimp your water

Apropos "drinking water" (see next article)

Here´s a variation of water. Self-made

Put gemstones like amethyst and berg crystal in a pot, fill it up with water and let it brew a few hours

skin and water

To be beautiful is to have a beautiful skin, too. As much as fingernails, teeth and hair. But of gravitation, genetic and lifestyle your skin´s loosing flexibility over the years. That´s normal and nature. But there are also tricks to put off the evil hour. Most people don´t want to be an ascetic-freak who renounces of everything like alcohol, fast food, sun and smoking. It´s safe to say, they are all baneful in an excessive way, but to practise self-denial could be more stress than to do it. Apropos frustration and stress makes skin significant older, too. But that´s another topic one day.

How to keep the skin refresh

To keep the body and particularly the skin refresh it´s necessary to drink. Ideally still mineral-or  natural spring water, herb tee and that´s 2-3 liter per day.

But well spottet! Human being isn´t a camel. So drink these piles of water averaged. Best a glass per hour. As a tip: Drinking a half liter warm water after awake is good for metabolic, because you lost a half liter water during sleep.

breath as a vehicle

Before I start to continue the topic water, here´s something by the way. Not so far from water, because the air we are breathing every moment, has same component oxygen (roundabout 21%)

What should we talk about something, what we´re doing continuous since that time we were born. But often, the simple thing in life is the most difficult one.

What should we know about breathing as a dynamic principle. Its regulated by the autonomic nervous system and we don´t have to think about it. Some people say exhalation is the part of breathing which takes any "dramatic" away and refresh your body with oxygen. So concentrate to breath out in situation which stress you up. That´s a good practice in everyday life and it makes aware that we are all have to breath. That can help. To easy but do it.

Intro

water was my first love and water is my life

first of all I wanna start this blog bospirit short for body&spirit 

 with a homage to one thing on this planet 

 which is 

the main factor to identify the earth and distinguishes it from the others 

as the blue planet

...but it is mostly underestimated in his worth.

 That´s an odd thing, because 

our body mostly consists of water (50-70%)

be water my friend 

this statement by Mr. Bruce Lee refers to become aware of the condition of our body and means although to move like water ....soft, floating, smooth, wavy and sometimes very hard, too. 

On this base, i try to show in next time what water can do and how we can live with it as the first big topic. 

I would be happy if everyone who reads this following compilation of personal experiences about beauty and health share his opinion and make possible that we have an interactive collection
