Are You a Walking Contradiction?
Sally had always felt like a walking contradiction. Sometimes she did things she didn’t believe in just to get along. And other times she secretly did things that would not be favourably accepted my mainstream society. For these reasons, she felt conflicted, with a twist of shame. Shame, because she only displayed the material world wanted to see, as opposed to how she truly felt inside. This was probably why she spent so much of her time alone. She knew she could no longer play both sides, she couldn’t live in both worlds. It required too much energy. And to pretend to enjoy participating in the habitual and robotic daily circumstances of the world created a feeling of what she could only describe as cheating on your spouse. She was not in alignment. None of it felt right, never really did. What she was feeling on the inside was not what was showing up on the outside. She was not in alignment and it was starting to physically manifest and not in a positive way. At the time she wasn’t exactly aware of its purpose, she just felt that she was different from everyone else. This created inner anxiety, a knot in her stomach. She did not know that all of this inner-fuckery would turn out to be the greatest gift ever—freedom!

Human Energy
Human energy. Pumping iron is not the only exercise. Humans use energy in various ways, from physical use of muscles to silent prayer. We talk of physical energy, emotional energy, mental activity, and spiritual energy. All human activity uses energy of one sort or another, but are they really different sorts of energy? We take all the energy we get through our food, drink, and sunlight. So, if the source of input is the same whatever our output, are all these various energies actually just the burning up of calories?

How Chakras and Body Energy Connected to Our Health
It is very often that people underestimate the role of chakras and energy in their body. They say that there are no grounds under the theory that a human being consists of many different layers. They say we are physical beings and if there are any ailments, they have been caused by food, environment, predisposition, or way of life.

Body Mass Index Means Nothing
I went into the doctor with my six year old girl. She does nothing but run and do pull-ups. She absolutely loves the jungle gym. The whole time we were there, the doctor said things like, "Wow, she sure is strong!" I was delighted and proud of course.

H2O and the Daily Goal
So I've been suffering from a severe headache for the best part of a week now. I've been short and irritable with the people around me, and generally brought the mood in the house down several notches. According to quite a few web searches one of the main causes may be my hydration levels. I'm not what you'd call a water drinker. Even in the height of summer, I am guilty of reaching for a Diet Coke or iced coffee. I've never really given much consideration to how this is effecting me. Whether those preconditioned to reach for the Evian are receiving noticable benefits from this habit, I'll admit it shouldn't take a six day migraine to make me consider improving my water intake. There's numerous articles in fashion and lifestyle magazines professing it will give you clear skin and sparkly eyes but what about other effects?

Testosterone Boosters and Health
Testosterone is the male sex hormone, responsible for many hormonal benefits, such as the production of testes and prostate tissue, the development of muscles and bone mass, plenty of energy, healthy sexual erections, and a sharp mind.
