The Science Of Banana Browning And Parkinson's Disease.
The banana is a carbolicious fruit that many of us do like snacking on. It’s a source of quick, “natural” energy. Professional athletes chomp down on them in between games to get their second wind. We love using it in other carby dishes, such as with ice cream (the banana split), pancakes, waffles or with bread. In fact, people who grew up in the UK in the 1980s and the 1990s would also have been exposed to little Eric Wimp, a wimpy looking kid who gains superhuman strength after eating a banana — and becoming Bananaman in the process.

Mind your Mind
Remember that walking meditation is much like life. It’s literally one step at a time, step by step, small incremental movements forward that all coalesce into one journey. At the beginning, one notices how far he must go, but in the end, one notices how far he’s come. The key is mindfulness, or what I like to call “minding the mind.” A great means of doing this is to mind your breath. Start by taking three deep breaths, after taking three deep breaths, allow the air to escape through the nose and fall into a natural rhythm. As in life, breath is essential, so first, breathe in, deeply. Breathe in all that life is, all that is bothering you, all that is in your mind and then let it go by breathing out. Breathe out all that you’re worried about, any thoughts floating around in your mind or anxious energy that might need to be expelled. Next, allow your forehead to release those wrinkles, let those shoulders drop and unclench your jaw. Let go of the tension, let it all go until you are completely empty; this emptiness is key, because again, much like in life, a cup must be emptied before it can be filled. So, empty your cup. The first step is complete.

Meditation with eyes OPEN?
Suppose you're walking down the road after an exhausting day of work. Suppose you're on your way home and you remember something, unfinished work; negative news; pessimistic thought, etc. Suppose you're walking down the street with your group, and they are talking among themselves and you feel left out and awkward. What is common in all these scenarios? You losing your peace!

YOYOLOO
My last article was about what I think the meaning of life is. I'd recommend reading that before this one, because I see this as sort of a follow-up and an effort to clear up some seeming irregularities in my opinions. I basically said that the meaning of life is to enjoy it, do whatever you want to do, and don't overwork yourself mentally or physically because you feel like that is the right thing to do. However, when describing my lot and the things I enjoy, I said that I'm not a fan of YOLO culture, and that might be considered to be at odds with my entire point. But I intend to explain what I mean by this, and delve deeper into my thoughts about the meaning of life, in this follow-up.

Thinking, Walking and Syncing
I know one thing of myself, that I am an (over)thinker a lot. I have so many thoughts going on in my mind. I am thinking about what I want to practice on the violin that moment, what I want to feed my children, what I want to write as an article today, and on which topic I want to write an article. Just name it what could be on my mind.
