Lets concentrate on personal development!

A.M.Sall
http://www.health-beauty-wellness.com

These days, watching TV, listening to the radio, reading
newspapers or internet news is real torture: nothing but
sickening scenes, a horrible litany of killings, bombings,
murder, rape…

Its no use dwelling on the “reasons” or justification
put forward by those who perpetrate such deeds.

However, one thing is obvious: at the root of all conflicts,
there is manipulation by so-called “leaders” and here is an
undeniable fact for you:

If every human being just decided to ignore these so-called
leaders and concentrate on personal development, that would
be the end of all conflicts between people and groups of
people.

So, I say to you:

– Concentrate on your personal development.

– Never allow yourself to be manipulated by politicians,
religious leaders, or any type of leaders. More often than
not, such people are hardly able to lead themselves.

– God is everyones God. If you believe in God, you can lead
yourself to Him (or Her, for that matter). You certainly dont
need anybody for that.

– As much as possible, look at human beings for what they are
i.e. as individuals, not as members of a group, class, race,
religion, country, culture, color, race, gender etc.

– Go straight for the “humanity in all human beings”

Of course, we are all more or less influenced by the society
we were born into, the culture we grew up in, the language
we speak.

But deep inside, we all have something in common.

Maybe the only thing that could force human beings to unite
and actually love and appreciate one another would be
invaders from another planet, all set to destroy any being
with that universally human quality: humanity. So, however
deep inside you youd try to hide your humanity, theyd have
a special device to discover it and destroy you.

Then of course, wed all have to assume our common humanity,
get together, and fight back.

So, if we must be “group-conscious”, then let that group be
Mankind, or – why not after all – the whole Universe and
everything that exists.

Meanwhile, lets just concentrate on our own personal
development. In the process and in other articles, Ill
tell you about “know yourself”, “love yourself” and
“agree with yourself”

But “what” may you ask, “has all this got to do with Health,
Beauty, and Wellness?”.

The answer lies in one single word: BALANCE. Know yourself,
love yourself, agree with yourself and youll achieve
physical, psychological, moral and spiritual balance.

And THAT, my friend, is the ultimate health, beauty, and
wellness secret tip. But please always remember:
“Lets know each other to better know ourselves”

Labor Day & Hurricane Katrina

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:22:27 +0000

I dont know anyone who isnt riveted on the Gulf Coast situation and the devastation of New Orleans, deeply concerned, thinking and praying for the survivors, the ones who didnt survive, the helpers, and those who have loved ones not accounted for.

I do know individuals who are handling it differently.

Perhaps exchanges such as one I saw today are going on in your office. When Marta walked in, with her usual big smile on her face, she asked Amanda, “Do you have plans for Labor Day?”

Grimly, Amanda replied, “No. Not really.”

“No one seems to,” continued Marta, just making conversation. “Everyone Ive asked has said they didnt have anything planned. I guess everyones just tired.”

“Marta,” said Amanda, curtly, “Its a little bit hard to think about a vacation with whats going on in New Orleans.”

“Why?” asked Marta, truly puzzled.

Amanda rolled her eyes and turned back to the computer to watch the video of rescue activities.

Marta turned the corner and headed into Patricks office to ask him if he thought a person couldnt be happy until everyone in the world was happy.

GRIEF & COMPASSION

People handle grief and compassion in different ways. Both Amanda and Marta had taken part in their offices Katrina Relief Drive earlier in the week, and both had covered for other employees who were trying to contact friends or relatives in the Gulf Coast area.

Marta, however, was concerned, had helped, and was continuing on with her life as usual, while Amanda, also concerned, also having helped, felt it inappropriate to live her life as usual at such a time.

Amanda thinks Marta is being “shallow,” and “self-centered,” while Marta thinks Amanda is “dwelling,” and “over-reacting.” Either way is A way of handling such a tragedy, nothing more, and nothing less.

As we make our way through the aftermath of the hurricane, which is likely to go on for a long time, well have different emotions and reactions, as individuals and as community, and certain things are predictable because we each cope differently with emotions.

Some want to vent about it every free moment, while others would prefer to stay focused on work. The talkers like to share feelings with others, and find it comforting. The workers like to keep their mind on the work to get some relief from thinking, i.e., feeling, about it. Contrary to common perception, its the thinker-workers who are feeling it the most deeply, but it isnt a competition.

Some of us respond publicly to major tragedies involving large numbers of people far away whom we dont know, and send something extremely helpful, though impersonal, like a check. Somof us respond privately on a one-to-one basis to the individuals we encounter daily who are in need, with a hands-on, “Im-here-for-you” approach thats ongoing and personal.

Either way, the people in the world who need help, get it, and the people in the world who need to give help, get to give it.

ADVERSITY NEVER TAKES A VACATION

There will never be a time when someone, somewhere, isnt in pain. In this same office where Marta and Amanda work, for instance, there are people struggling with personal issues of monumental proportions – this week, and every week.

Tom found out last week that his only child has cancer and the prognosis is not good. Hes planning to take his family to Disneyland over Labor Day. Hes deciding he can no longer wait for “some day.”

Lucha is trying to figure out how to support 3 children on her minimum-wage salary, with a car that just broke down, an ex-husband who will not pay child-support, and aging parents who also depend upon her. Lucha plans to

spend Labor Day working overtime on Saturday and Monday because she needs the money.

How should you handle the hurricane disaster? Is it right to take a vacation when so many are suffering? Is it insensitive for Marta to smile and make plans, or is it Amanda whos insensitive to brood, and drag others down with her ruminations? Does it make sense for the office to send a thousand-dollar check to a hurricane relief fund, when it could buy Lucha a new car?

These questions dont need to be answered, because they dont need to be asked. We each have a unique personality, different coping styles, different pain-thresholds, and our own host of personal problems others are not always aware of.

COPING STRATEGIES

In the aftermath of 911, we, as a nation, learned skills for coping with major tragedies, and theyre worth repeating. “Major” in this sense referring to “numbers of people impacted,” because, along with not judging how others cope, we need to avoid comparing, and “rating” tragedies.

Edward, in the corner office, lost his wife last year, and while the numbers lost in New Orleans are staggering, so was the loss of one person, his wife, to one person, Edward.

In whatever manner comforts you, manage your emotions, and those of others — and let us pray that in the best of possible worlds, those who need to talk find those who are able to listen.

Take care of yourself (especially if youre a caretaker or professional listener), not allowing yourself to get too tired, too lonely, too hungry, or too overwhelmed – and in the best of possible worlds, those who are stronger can shoulder some of the burden for those who are not.

Limit the time you spend watching the disaster, as once you know it has happened, donating mattresses to the Red Cross helps, but watching television does not. Protect your children (and others who are vulnerable) from the over-exposure.

Do something to help – and in the best of possible worlds, give in proportion to what you have been given. But act upon your compassion, because then it can be felt in the world, not just inside you.

Remember that while there is suffering in the world, cruelty, and injustice, at the hands of nature and at the hands of people, there are also days of incomparable beauty when the sun shines brightly, the breeze is gentle, and the rivers stay within their beds; and there are also people who care, people who comfort, people who are kind, and people who are fair. Our world is neither all good, nor all bad, and nothing lasts forever.

If youre able, attend to the weak and vulnerable. Children see this on television and need explanations, and to know that their own world is safe; and so may the old and the infirm and anyone else already at his or her limit.

Know that it is their turn now, and will be your turn some day – both to suffer and to alleviate suffering – because thats the way life is, and were all in this together.

And dare to be happy in an imperfect world. Celebrating Labor Day and enjoying yourself with a picnic, a trip, or sleeping in will not affect the victims of the hurricane adversely. Its not a zero-sum universe, and you will be of no use to anyone if you are exhausted, cynical, depressed, or negative.

Know The Meaning Of Your Valentines Day Roses

admin — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:22:29 +0000

Giving roses on Valentine’s Day has become a popular tradition but you can make your gift more meaningful if you choose a color that conveys a specific message.

Each rose color has a different meaning, usually more than one. If you want to be sure that your loved one receives the message you intended, include it on the accompanying card.

Red Roses
Red roses convey a simple message: “I love you”. This makes them the ultimate symbol of romantic love and the most popular choice on Valentine’s Day. Other meanings for red roses include desire, passion, courage, respect, beauty and sincerity. A red rosebud symbolizes purity and loveliness.

Coral Roses
Coral roses speak of desire and passion.

Lilac or Lavender Roses
Lilac roses reveal love at first sight or enchantment.

Orange Roses
Orange roses communicate desire, enthusiasm and fascination. They make an excellent choice for a new relationship that you wish to pursue further.

Peach Roses
Peach roses express gratitude, appreciation, admiration or sympathy. They can also convey sociability and friendship and send the message “Lets get together”. A pale peach rose symbolizes modesty.

Pink Roses
In general, pink roses symbolize grace, gentility and happiness and express appreciation and gratitude.

Pale Pink Roses
Pale pink roses connote grace, joy, gentility and gratitude.

Light Pink Roses
Light pink roses suggest happiness and fun. Like all pink roses, they also convey admiration and appreciation.

Deep Pink Roses
Deep pink roses say “Thank you”. They also express appreciation, admiration, sincerity and sympathy.

White Roses
Second only to red roses in popularity, white roses symbolize truth and innocence. They also represent silence, secrecy, reverence, humility, youthfulness and charm. You can use them to say, “Youre heavenly”, “I

miss you” and “I’m worthy of you”. A white rosebud symbolizes girlhood.

Yellow Roses
Yellow roses symbolize friendship and freedom, so are not specifically romantic roses. They convey congratulations, joy, gladness and delight. But they also promise a new beginning, say “Welcome back” and “Remember me”, and can convey jealousy and caring. Yellow roses with red tips convey friendship and falling in love.

Dead Roses
Dead roses in any color convey “Its over!”

Combining Rose Colors
New meanings arise when you combine two rose colors. Here are just a few examples:

* Red and Yellow Roses
Expresses happiness and celebration

* Red and White Roses
Symbolizes unity or an engagement

* White and Yellow Roses
Symbolizes harmony

Additional Rose Symbols
A bouquet of blooming roses in any color conveys gratitude and symbolizes beauty and perfection. Or you can opt for sending a message with a single rose.

* Single Red Rose
“I love you”

* Single Rose In Any Color
“Thank you”

* Two Roses Entwined
“Marry me”

* A Thornless Rose
“It was love at first sight”

* Tea Roses
“I’ll always remember you”

* A Rosebud In Any Color
Symbolizes youth and beauty

So no matter what your situation, there is a rose color or combination that will express what you want to say. Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to declare your intentions, remind someone how much you care, or express your appreciation of a friendship.

What are you waiting for?

Is Your Bad Mood Causing Skin Breakouts?

admin — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:22:21 +0000

Your skin tells a lot about you. Someone who looks at your face can often tell if you haven’t had enough rest, if you’ve been slacking on your diet, or if you moisturize regularly. Your skin can also tell someone a lot about your state of mind.

It’s pretty obvious when you’re embarrassed because your face will get flushed. That’s not what I mean. I’m referring to life’s problems that pile up, stress you out, and keep you from performing at your ultimate best. Long periods without good nutrition will make skin pale and flaky, while a lack of moisture in your body can make skin tight and pinched-looking. Late nights and stressful situations can cause breakouts, oily skin and a tired, harried appearance that can keep you from looking your best.

With our busy lifestyles, it’s hard to imagine how we can sleep more, eat better and stay hydrated enough to keep life’s problems from showing up on your face. Fortunately, you can easily combat some of these problems by carefully choosing quick ways to relax and rejuvenate your body that won’t break the bank.

Natural skincare products containing essential oils will not only help to improve your skin’s appearance, but they have a double-duty effect with their aromatherapy benefits. For example, lavender essential oil is

beneficial for people with minor cuts, scrapes, rashes and mild sunburn. It is also great for relaxation, making lavender a useful tool for eliminating stress.

Another great essential oil for mood enhancement is clary sage. It helps to balance the skin’s natural production of sebum, making it a suitable choice whether your skin is too oily or too dry. At the same time, clary sage is well known for its hormone balancing effects, eliminating the mood swings and cramping that often occur during your menstrual cycle.

When you are choosing skincare products with essential oils, look for ones that contain little to no fragrance so you receive the full benefit of the aromatherapy at work. Also check the labels for chemicals which may cause allergic reactions and thwart your efforts to clear up your skin. With the right products, you’ll begin to feel better emotionally, your appearance will change for the better, and people will certainly take notice.

Infrared Technology Comes of Age

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:22:26 +0000

What exactly is infrared, or radiant heat? No need to worry – it

has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you
a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a
nuclear bomb).

Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Radiant heat is also called infrared energy (IR). Our sun is the principal source of radiant energy that we enjoy daily (some more so than others). Have you ever been outside on a partly cloudy spring day of about 50 degrees F. and felt quite comfortable until the sun was suddenly obscured by a cloud? Although the air temperature had not had time to drop, you felt chilled, as the cloud would not let the warming infrared rays through to reach you.
Infrared light is an important energy force that promotes healing – a raising of the white blood cell count. Why is that good? Because more white blood cells mean greater immunity. Greater immunity means greater health and a better quality of life.

Today were seeing new technologies employing far-infrared energy in health care products an din clinical protocols such as hyperthermic therapies for detoxification and cancer treatment.

Energy medicine is an ancient practice and Chinese health practitioners would use healing touch therapies for improved cell growth, DNA synthesis and protein synthesis in cells. Although these ancient practitioners did not know the technical terms as to why their therapy improved health, they were sure their patients got better.
Yes, the human heat from their touch increased immune defense response in which white blood cells surround and ingested small living things (like bacteria) and cell wastes.

Far-infrared heat follows the same principle: warm the injury site to speed healing. Why is infrared heat better than say, a heating pad? Because the vibrational energy of far-infrared light is unlike that of the heat energy we use for everyday functions, like cooking. Boiling water could actually damage our skin but it doesnt heat internal organs. Sunlight heats us in a profound way, however, because it contains penetrating far-infrared rays as well as the full range of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum.

I know what you must be thinking – how can I benefit from the suns infrared rays? I dont live near the equator. Besides, I thought the suns rays were damaging to my skin. While its true the suns rays should be used judiciously, especially by fair-skinned people, the fact remains that infrared radiation promotes health. A few companies have captured the essence of this healing energy by creating cedar saunas and smaller wraps for localized

healing in specific areas of the body.

Over the past 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have done extensive research on infrared treatments and reported many provocative findings. Whole-body infrared therapy has been used for over 80 years by German physicians in an independently developed form.

Among other benefits, whole-body infrared thermal systems make it possible for people in wheelchairs, or those who are otherwise unable to exert themselves, or who wont follow through on an exercising and conditioning program to achieve a cardiovascular training effect. This also allows for more variety in any ongoing exercise program.

As for infrareds outstanding effect on caloric consumption and weight control, we find that burning from 600 to 2,400 calories in a 30 minute session to be quite routine. The infrared thermal system might then simulate the consumption of energy equal to that expended in a 6 to 9 mile run during only a single session. This would be invaluable for those who dont exercise and those who cant exercise yet want an effective weight control and fitness maintenance program.

Evidently the flushing of toxins from the lymph areas and from the largest organ of elimination, the skin, are the source of many these health improvements. Toxemia has been targeted as the number one reason so many of us are ill. With the elimination of these poisons from deep within the body, the organs can then do their job unhindered. Although any health-restoring strategy involves some type of cleansing diet and supplements, infrared therapy would definitely be called for to augment the process more efficiently.

The list of health enhancements through the use of infrared therapy is impressive and it includes: relief from all forms of arthritis, increase in the extensibility of collagen tissues, relieves muscle spasms and joint stiffness, increases blood flow, assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates, weight control, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, blood circulation, ear, nose and throat conditions, skin conditions (including cellulite) and all-around beauty treatment.

Is infrared therapy a cure-all? Well, I dont believe that. But its value cannot be ignored. Especially in view of the fact that millions suffer from toxic overload and its vast array of symptoms. Perhaps many more will come to view it as the body care system of the future just like NASAs astronauts and newborn babies have.

Hyaluronic Acid – Newest Celebrity Beauty Secret?

admin — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:22:24 +0000

We can always count on celebrities to serve as guinea pigs for the latest cosmetic and beauty treatments. During the Botox T craze, even director Martin Scorsese commented that he couldn’t find actresses who could frown anymore! Perhaps actors, politicians, musicians and the like all grew tired of looking like Stepford wives because the latest cosmetic craze involves Hyaluronic acid, a key component of human tissue, providing the body with essential moisture and a viable way to erase wrinkles without the loss of facial expression. Hyaluronic acid is available in facial injections reportedly favored by celebrities like Charlie Sheen, Tommy Lee Jones and Oprah Winfrey who have chosen Restylane, a Hyaluronic acid wrinkle-filler that works to lift the lip, wrinkle or fold and create volume. Hyaluronic acid injections do not relax muscles but instead “fill in” areas most affected by wrinkles and fine lines.

There are also several new, non-invasive beauty products that contain Hyaluronic acid or work to stimulate the body’s own Hyaluronic acid production. Apparently full lips a la Angelina Jolie are a must-have because celebrities of all ages are going gaga for City Lips, a cutting edge product developed by City Lips Cosmetics. The City Lips product stimulates lips to produce their own collagen and Hyaluronic acid, painlessly increasing the size of lips. According to Karen Rauen, Good Housekeeping Institute’s chemistry director, “”The City Lips lip plumper, we found, plumps peoples lips an

average of three millimeters.” Celebrities like Teri Hatcher, Nicolette Sheridan, Jamie Lynn Discala, Virginia Madsen, Melissa Rivers, Angela Bassett, Lacy Chabert, Lake Bell, Eliza Dushku, Bijou Phillips, Haylie Duff, Kathy Griffin, Tracy Ross, Marlee Matlin, Shannon Elizabeth, Michelle Rodriguez, Faith Evans, Giuliana Depandi, Debbie Matenopoulos and Princess Ann Claire, are reportedly huge fans of City Lip Cosmetics.

There are other Hyaluronic acid boosting “lip plumpers” on the cosmetic market including Lucky Lips which allegedly increases Hyaluronic acid levels by 148% just 48 hours after use. Other celeb Hyaluronic acid beauty favorites include Hydrating Gel Cream from Prada Beauty, a lightweight, sheer cream featuring Hyaluronic acid and Rest-A-Line Face Treatment by Joey New York, an anti-aging cream rich with Hyaluronic acid which helps the skin hold 1000 times its weight in water, causing a natural plumping effect. All in all, between facial injections and non-evasive beauty creams, it seems like there is much hope on the frontier for finding that elusive fountain of youth; for celebrities and for common folk, alike!

Hyaluronic Acid – Beauty Wave of the Future?

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:22:28 +0000

In our continuing search for the fountain of youth, there is a new weapon. Hyaluronic acid (HA), is a key component of human tissue that aids in the bodys flexibility, mobility and moisture retention. And, Hyaluronic acid is emerging both as a key ingredient in many anti-aging beauty products and as a viable alternative to collagen and related substances in injection procedures. As we age, the Hyaluronic acid levels in our body decrease, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and dryness in the skin. Hyaluronic acid beauty products and injections can decrease the appearance of lines and wrinkles by replenishing the bodys natural supply of Hyaluronic acid and/or by stimulating the body to rejuvenate its own supply of HA. It is for these reasons that many believe that HA represents the beauty wave of the future.

Among the exciting new developments in the world of Hyaluronic acid products is the recent FDA approval of Restylane and Hylaform, facial injections containing Hyaluronic acid. These injections can be administered quickly and with little chance of side effect. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more people than ever are choosing to forgo invasive plastic surgery for less painful, less time consuming procedures. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) predicts that in 2005, Hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Hylaform) will surpass collagen as the most popular soft tissue filler for lines and wrinkles. The Society also predicts that additional Hyaluronic acid products developed

specifically for facial volume enhancement and for improvement of depressed scars will be introduced.

Currently, Hyaluronic acid injections are most commonly used around the mouth and on forehead wrinkles and smile lines and to enlarge, moisturize and “plump” lips. The entire injection process takes less than an hour, and requires repeat treatments every four months to a year. Hyaluronic acid treatments are more expensive than those using collagen (a syringe of Restylane or another Hyaluronic acid product might cost up to $500 as compared to around $373 for collagen) but HA injections last longer because they help the skin retain natural moisture. When injected, the filler plumps up the skin by allowing it to attract and hold water. Side effects are much less likely with Hyaluronic acid than with collagen contributing to its attractiveness as an alternative treatment.

The possibilities seem endless for uses of Hyaluronic acid. In Japan, Daikin Industries is even offering an air conditioner that emits Hyaluronic acid from the filter to moisturize skin. There are sure to be even more innovations and future ways to take advantage of Hyaluronic acids many health and beauty benefits.

How to Tan Naturally and Safely

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:22:28 +0000

Do you love the look of sun kissed skin, but worry about the long term ramifications of tanning? If so then you are not alone. For years there has been quite a bit of talk about tanning, and you may be confused by what you hear. So unless you plan to spend the summer looking like a ghost, it is important that you learn what is safe and what isn’t in the wide world of tanning.

First, I want to stress that baking in the sun is out! Every time you go outside you are exposing your skin to the elements and risking damage and premature aging. It doesn’t matter how old you are, your skin type, or your location. Sun block with a SPF of at least 15 is a must for everyone. Apply it at least 30 minutes before leaving the house, and reapply often. Once again- lying out in the sun is not an option. If you do, you can look forward to:

. Getting wrinkly skin prematurely
. Getting sunburned or blistered
. Getting skin cancer

In fact, every year over 60,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed, mostly due to unsafe tanning practices.

Doesn’t sound like something that you want to experience? Well you aren’t alone. The next option you have is tanning beds. While tanning beds offer you a bit more control over your exposure rate, they still aren’t a valid option. The sheer act of tanning is damaging to your skin. So I would skip the tanning beds and search for something less damaging.

So what else is there?

Self tanners are perhaps your safest and best bet. Now, if you tried some of these products a few years back you may be skeptical about going back. Products of yesterday used to be streaky and fake looking. Luckily technology has played a huge role in the self-tanning market and has allowed manufacturers to create a product that rivals the look of a sun-kissed tan. The trick is to find a quality product and learn to apply it correctly.

Some tips for getting a perfect self-tanner tan are:

. Exfoliate! Basically what this means is remove the dead skin cells that can dull your complexion. Dead skin cells will suck up the self tanner and leave you looking streaky. You can purchase a

loofah or exfoliation cream at any beauty supply store. One hot shower and a bit of scrubbing will leave your skin in perfect condition for self-tanner application.

. Make sure your skin is dry before application. Many people are quick to start applying the self tanner right after they exfoliate. This will lead to a blotchy result that will look unnatural. So step away from the shower, dry off thoroughly, and go watch a sitcom or two. That way you will be dry and ready to get a perfect tan.

. Buy a brand that you can see when you apply. There are many things that you will want to look for when choosing a brand. Finding one that is easy to see when you apply it will help prevent over application or missed spots. You can always go back and do touch ups once it has dried, but colored creams or lotions will help make your job a bit easier.

. Use gloves to prevent streaky hands. No one has to know that you self-tan! Prevent streaky odd colored hands by using surgical gloves when applying the tanner. Your palms will come out the right shade, and you won’t have to explain yourself for a week afterwards.

. Use less product on knees and elbows for even color. Your joints are usually drier and tend to suck up more self tanner than other areas of your body. Apply less tanner to these areas for an even look. Exfoliation will also help a bit, but always work on the side of caution.

Still scared to do it yourself? Consider a professionally done spray on tan. The concept is simple; you strip down to the bare minimum and then enter a shower type stall. Most tanning salons have such devices and the shower will then spray your entire body for an all over sun kissed glow. Some salons will allow you to do it yourself, or have the treatment done by another. Once the spray on tan solution has been applied, you want to let it dry completely before putting your clothing back on.

Good luck, and get ready to start getting compliments on your sun kissed glow!
