Growing Young Gracefully

Time travels faster than anything else, if we convert this to that equivalent to light matters in space-time zone. Then, the `self' right within remains without a single change or alteration.

We are changing from the external point of view only, nevertheless. But then, we are getting pretty much worried as the number increases each year. How we looked like at the age six and comparing them with present day, do pounce a heavy punch that hurt for the unprepared.

What goes up and never comes down? Yes! Very true, Age.It sure does matter to us to understand that ``age'' is time attached word dreaded by most.

You ask a young man or gal, they will sheepishly reply their age. Middle age person will reply in a discreet or slower tone manner. Past fifty years of age, well, don't mention at all, believe they may prefer if they could remain younger than what they are!! Peter Pan of a sort.

In that sense, yet we wished to think our ability to stay healthy and be joyous in life is served on a golden plate handed over easily without a dime spent. That could never be true at all.Growing young (opposite of older) is an art we need to learn and practice throughout our living days.

Growing young gracefully is the right attitude, I reckon. Alleviates our stressful mind and grasp the understanding that aging is a wonderful process of transformation, rather than a dreaded experience one need to go through.

Transforming from one state to another state, be it physical or mental.

Gurudeva, my spiritual master always reminds us to take with stride and boldly face it with love and understanding for the ''soul'' does not know the age. It doesn't have one either, everlasting, omnipresent, indestructible and without form (in intrinsic sense).

Just be in the joyous formation, creating positive attitude and vibration along the journey called life; seeking to understand the purpose and meaning of existence. As the process moves rapidly from on stage to another, we just try to improve our self, character, refining whatever we could or possibly think off.

We should extend our hand in creating the place we are in to be bright, nice, beautiful and charming. We try to sprinkle magical dust called ''seva'' or selfless service without thinking of reward or personal gain.

Every positive action creates an equal reaction which returns to the doer without fail.(equally true also if do the other way round - negative action creates ''papa'' seeds) It's a law that can never be disputed.

So, every good deed merits good ''punya''; planted seeds that grows to give a bountiful harvest (having better life) in the future.Nothing lost by growing young, just plenty of gains.

Therefore, don't be frightened to grow young! Just move on and you and I will reach our destination one day...Stay young always....( I am singing Sir Cliff Richard's ever green song, The Young Ones )

Super Foods - Stay Healthy Naturally

Amazing how just natural foods that we always ignore can do wonders to help restore our body and mind to good shape. My family friend, Madhu is a ``health bug'' who has the nag to ensure we always codify and modify eating habits for optimum health effect. He has been successful in practising this in his life and in that he manage to contaminate to effect my food eating habit, even better now.

Though we are vegetarians, the right eating habits aren't imbued strongly enough to get our body system shape up correctly. I'd recently been getting unpleasant body system jerkiness as approaching the age pole increases. Blood pressure has been ``swinging'' without any particular reason and in that my physician was recommending ethanolol, a beta blocker to regulate blood.

This has indeed ranged an alarm to my ear. Yes, I am vegetarian, but then why? Not realising that it got to do with the way I eat and the type of food I consume on a regular basis.

Firstly, cut all the fried foods at `kopitiams'' and vegetarian mock meats. I started to monitor what I eat and his `water therapy'' worked wonders to my body. He gave me a full 4 litter bottle of purified water, replenished every 2 days for a month. ``Drink this without fail, 2 days and bring back the empty bottle for refill'', he ordered me.

So, the regime started. I had to gulp quite an amount of water, where I am not used to drink that much before. Sooner, I had been able to do just that. It restored my body freshness. Next while on this therapy, slight adjustment were made on food eating habits. A few visit and home cook dinner and lunch cooked by his wife Omana, had tremendously reversed my health. Simple meals but rich in various vitamins and minerals.

Just few days ago, I had food poisoning ( virus infection) and went to see my physician and he checked my pressure and guest what?, the blood pressure reads 80/110. Wow! Again to confirm, I had went back to recheck, result, 80/110 too! Yup! I felt back on my two feet confidently. Got to make sure I do follow this good practices regularly without fail. Yoga practice too helps wonders to maintain body balance. So feeling back to 16 now! Why don't you! whether 16 or 60 you are still young to enjoy all the good things in life...Stay healthy, live healthy..natural way.
