Solar Plexus: Internal Exercises.
The Taoists believed that the body is controlled by two brains instead of one. Besides the brain in the head, there is also the “brain” in the abdomen. The ancient Taoists link the nervous system in the abdomen, and it is at least, equal in importance to the cerebral brain .The modern anatomical name for this abdominal nervous center is “solar plexus”. A mass of nervous cells is found in the center of the torso, beneath the heart and behind the stomach; this is where the solar plexus is located. Because the solar plexus is closer to the abdominal organs than the cerebral brain, the solar plexus has nerves radiating out directly to the organs. One say that relationship of the solar plexus to the abdominal organ is even more direct and intimate than the cerebral brain. That is why Taoist call it the “abdominal brain”.
The solar plexus is responsible for maintaining and balancing internal organs functions. You can even feel it when anger, distress, sorrow, love, hate, happiness and other emotions, rises from the internal organs. Those feelings arise when an organ is disturbed or malfunctioning. They are all felt in the solar plexus and later can become a psychological reaction.
For the Taoists, the sensations of feelings are generated through the function of the abdominal area, not the cerebral brain. The cerebral brain stores information like life experiences, knowledge and education,.. .It works like a computer!
Excitement is related to the heart, anger, liver; worry, spleen-pancreas; sorrow, lungs and fear, kidney. According to the Five Element Theory, excessive excitement hurts the small intestines, sexual organs, heart and blood vessels; excessive anger, the nervous system, liver, gall bladder; excessive worry or considerations, muscle tone, stomach and spleen-pancreas; excessive sorrow or sadness, the lungs, large intestines, skin and hair, excessive fear, the bones, kidneys and bladder. Mainly, all the bad feelings are bad for the organs.. They are responsible to balance the solar plexus. When the solar plexus benefits, everything else will work in harmony. Hence, if the internal organs are healthy and balanced the feelings will natural be balanced and peaceful. Peaceful feelings cannot be forced, by things or reasoning form the cerebral brain. Peaceful comes form internal; peace.
Exercise:
1. While sitting or standing, place both hands on your stomach. Inhale and feel the air expand your stomach.
2. Then exhale. As you exhale, use your hands and push in and up your stomach. As you execute this motions, turn your upper torso and head slowly toward your left side as far as possible and look to your left. Meanwhile, twist your pelvis the right.
3. Inhale and bring your entire body back into alignment, facing front. As you do this let your hands release your stomach slowly until they are resting gently on the skin surface.
4. Exhale again. AS you exhale, tur your upper torso and head to the right side. Look to your right. Meanwhile push your push your stomach in and up again as you twist your pelvis to the left
5. While inhaling bring your body back into alignment, facing front. Repeat this exercise 4 to 36 times.

Benefits of Oolong Tea - Os Beneficios do chá Oolong!
Oolong (or Wulong, as it is better known Romanized in China) is an extremely prominent drink not only in China and Japan where it is regarded as a staple type of tea, but also around the world. It originated in China, made of camellia, and is served in most restaurants. One theory about its origination states that oolong tea was one of the first loose tea to gain prominence when loose tea came into fashion. With its outward curling and dark appearance, they used to call it the Black Dragon tea as well. Nevertheless, oolong, in terms of oxidation, falls somewhere between green and black tea, and its fame is such that there are dozens of varieties of oolong cha nowawadays.
Oolong is also highly regarded for its medicinal benefits. Usually, its most prominent benefit is known as the fact that it aids in weight loss. Oolong tea does, in fact, reduce the cholesterol found in a bloodstream, cleansing it, greatly reducing the unwanted fats and promoting a healthier circulation, this contribute to slimming. At the same time, oolong also helps alleviate heart ailments as well as be used as a regular treatment for those with digestive problems or disorders. Because it so cleans the bloodstream and takes good care of the heart, promoting excellent circulation, oolong tea also aids in increasing the longevity of a person (possibly one more reason why it was so popular in China), as well as improve and boost the immune system by being antibacterial in properties and antiviral as well, something which few things can boast being. Its calcium also promotes again fighting tooth decay as well as prevent osteoporosis by strengthening the bones. Oolong tea, like many teas with flavanoids and many antioxidants, are also helpful in killing cancer causing properties in the body. Oolong tea is known to have many different vital vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamins A, B, C, E as well as vitamin K with calcium, copper, manganese and carotene, selenium and even folic acids, niacin and alkaloids that aid detoxification.
It is not a wonder then, that in the Orient, many people subscribe to often drinking oolong tea, as it has so many good effects that it has been more than evident in the peoples of China and Japan that this has more than slightly contributed to their well-being and longevity. Perhaps the West, as it discovers the excellent benefits of tea, might do the same.
PORTUGUÊS:
Oolong (ou Wulong, como é mais conhecido na China) é uma bebida extremamente importante não só na China como no Japão, onde é considerado como uma bebida tradicional, assim como nosso popular cafezinho, mas também é conhecido ao redor do mundo. Este chá que teve origem na China, feita de camélia, e é servido na maioria dos restaurantes. Uma teoria sobre sua origem afirma que o chá oolong foi um dos primeiro chá a ganhar destaque quando o chá de folha solta entrou em moda. O oolong, em termos de oxidação, cai em algum lugar entre o chá verde e preto, e sua fama é tal que existem dezenas de variedades de oolong hoje em dia.
Oolong também é altamente considerado por seus benefícios medicinais. O benefício mais conhecido é o fato de que ele auxilia na perda de peso. O chá oolong, de fato, ajuda a reduzir o colesterol encontrado em na corrente sanguínea, purificando, reduzindo as gorduras e promovendo uma saudável circulação, que contribui para emagrecimento. Ao mesmo tempo, oolong também ajuda a prevenir doenças cardíacas, e pode ser usado como um tratamento regular para aqueles com problemas digestivos ou doenças. Porque limpa a corrente sanguínea e cuida bem do coração, promovendo uma circulação excelente, oolong também ajuda no aumento da longevidade (possivelmente mais uma razão por que foi tão popular na China), bem como melhorar e aumentar a sistema imunológico, sendo antibacterianos e anti-virais em propriedades. Seu cálcio também ajuda a prevenir cárie dentária, bem como a osteoporose, fortalecendo os ossos. Oolong, assim como muitos chás com flavonóides e muitos antioxidants, também são úteis em evitar câncer. Tambem é conhecida por ter muitas vitaminas e minerais essenciais, como vitaminas A, B, C E, assim como a vitamina K com cálcio, cobre, manganês e caroteno, selênio e os ácidos fólico mesmo, niacina e alcalóides que ajudam a desintoxicação .

Este bom habito contribui para seu bem-estar e longevidade. Espero que o Ocidente, descubra seus excelentes benefícios para inserir em seu dia- dia.

Akarna Dhanurasana
Akarna Dhanurasana was advised from my teacher to be practiced until you unblock shoulders, waste and hips. It is one of the most important postures for beginners, specially because we have a tendency to be very tight in those regions.
Grasp the big toes with hands (the left with the left, right with right), keep one leg straight and draw the other to your ear as you would the string of a bow. This is dhanurasana.
The spinal cord has two ends: the earth (below) and heaven (above), as is fitting for a " holy mountain in the center of the world". The worldly problems are mostly situated in the lower part and the more ideal ones in the upper one.
The earthly problems are centered in the lower half of the body only who knows something about the chakras can realize.
We could compare ourselves with a tree that has it roots in the earth and the crown with with its fruit in the sky. Just as we have to satisfy the needs of the roots in order to supply nourishment to the fruit in the crown, so most asanas are designed to cultivate the root of our tree life, the spinal column.
Namaste,
Bianca Omena Maximaino.

Good Morning Health Breakfast!
BREAKFAST, MY FAVORITE MEAL!
Some of the things I posted, I eat just once a week! Coffee is something I avoid in order to maintain a good function and balance to my liver, and it also can deplete your adrenal glands.
I found great benefits for drinking pu-erh tea and it became my everyday morning drink.
Eggs yolk is good to be controlled it has benefits but not for an everyday diet . A good alternative is to have just eggs white to maintain a balance breakfast diet. By avoiding eggs yolk you can keep a good level of cholesterol and have a good amount of protein.
Brie cheese, i love it ! But, I have it just once in a while . A good option is to use cottage cheese instead.
Let's talk about the nutritional benefits of a good and health diet to start the day with a delightful meal!
Multigrain gluten-free Rudi's bread or Acme wholegrain bread:
Usually I eat gluten free brads. First because I recently found out that I am a gluten sensitive person and second because I avoid eating bread everyday. But when I eat bread, I like to choose a really good one!
A Wholegrain bread is a good source of fiber. It also reduces heart disease, type 2 diabetes, reduces risk of digestive cancer and the risk of stroke drops.
Organic Pesto Sauce with Basil, garlic and pine nuts. I don't have it everyday. I like to spread it on my bread every once in a while.The health benefits of pesto comes from its nutrient dense ingredients. Although high in fat, pesto gets its fat from olive oil and pine nuts, which are both high in health unsaturated fats. Pine nuts are nutrient dense and along with basil, make pesto a good source of many nutrients, including vitamins A, E, K and many minerals
Fried eggs (soft yolk is better than hard yolk): Eggs are great for the eyes
- They are good source of choline. One egg has 300 micrograms of choline which is important nutrient that helps regulate the brain, nervous system and a cardiovascular system
Cottage cheese or Brie cheese
- Calcium, vitamin A, zinc , phosphorus
- Bone Straight
- Vitamin B12, riboflavin
- High in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals content
- free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers, which means no residues, and reduced risk of chemical ingestion
- Natural energy booster- organically grown contains caffeine in purest form
- Reduces cholesterol
- good source of vitamin E, selenium, cooper , iron, magnesium and protein
- it may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes.
- Great range of vitamin C
- Significant levels of antioxidants, vitamin K and magnesium, folic acid, copper, riboflavin and omega 3 fatty acids
Organic Grade B Maple Syrup : is a greater sweetener and a good alternative for refined sugar and artificial sweetener like aspartame.
- Great source of minerals, its also terrific source of Zinc (acts as an antioxidant and immune system supporter)
- Vitamins present : Niancin, B5, B, Folic Acid, B6, Bitotin and vitamin A
- Riboflavin wich facilitates energy production in the body
Pu-erh Tea is a post fermented tea produced in China.
- Help lower blood cholesterol levels
- Boost the flow of blood and help enhance circulation
- Help inhibit formation of cancer cells
- Helps digestion
- Help invigorate the spleen
- Reduces fat in the system
- Help remove toxins
Hemp seeds: I like to sparkle over my oatmeal, papaya and soups
Bodies do not manufacture essential fatty acids (EFAs), they must come from dietary sources. Hemp seeds contain 80% highly unsaturated oils, EFA's lubricate cell membranes, eliminate toxins and fight depression, viruses bacteria, fungi and PMS symptoms. Reduces inflammation and speed healing and enhance beauty of skin

General concepts of Pranayama
As I learned from my teacher, a student of Yoga passes on to Pranayama after mastering Asana. Asana constitutes the third part of the course of Yogic study, which is divided into eight parts (Ashtanga Yoga).
Pranayama, the fourth aspect yoga, means a pause in the moment of the breath. In Sanskrit Prana means breath and Ayama means pause. I lot of modern Yoga books translated Pranayama as a subtle psychic force or a subtle cosmic energy. Some of the Hatha texts, very often use the word Prana to indicate a subtle life force. But this they do when they talk about the force awakened by the process of Pranayama and not of Pranayama itself. In the yogic literature Pranayma means a pause in the movement of breath.
Patanjali's Four Types of Pranayama
Patanjali notices four types of Pranayama. The distinctions is based on the nature of the breathing pause.
When the pause is made after a deep exhalation, this constitutes the first type of Pranayama . The second type of Pranayama is when the pause comes after a deep inhalation. In both the cases the Yogic student has to make an effort to hold his breath either in or out. But the third and the fourth types of Pranayama the student is not required to make any special effort for holding his breath. The respiratory movement should stop all at once, when the student wants it to stop, the pause should be performed without any physical effort on the part of the student. The difference between the third and the fourth types is that in the third type come all at once, while in the fourth type of pranayama the pause should start after many inhalations and exhalations preceding it. The absence of effort in maintaining the pause, should happen in the third and in fourth types of Pranayama.
In the language of the later Yogic literature, the first type is called Bahya Kumbakha, the second type, Abyantara Kumbhaka, and the third and fourth types are called Kevala Kumbhakas.

"Sleep the great equalizer" by Claudia Welch.
My sister, the beautiful & talented Brodie Welch, LAc. of Corvallis, Oregon, had this facebook entry today: “could it be that the difference between enduring my life and celebrating it moment by moment is as simple as getting enough sleep?”
When I used to have a busy private practice, I would be struck by this phenomenon: patient conditions or epiphanies that would gather in one wave and careen through my office. In the last couple weeks, sleep has been such a wave.
While it is possible to get too much sleep and suffer side effects of that, today I will be focusing on those of us who may be getting too little. Of the recent wave of sleep-related observations and experiences and stories, here are two.
One dear friend in her early-mid 30s complained that her menstrual cycle had gone from a normal 28 day cycle to getting it 40+ days late over the last bunch of months.
Upon consideration, we concluded that her system was requiring more nourishment than her healthy diet was affording her, and that one way she could receive more was to increase her sleep. She did. Her cycle began immediately to head in the right direction.
Another dear friend, in her early-mid 40s told me she had started to get her period every other week. Also overworked. Also undersleeped. (I am aware that is not a word. Mark Twain said, “I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.” I apply this general philosophy slightly more widely).
This friend had been in the habit of staying up after putting her 5 year old to bed, in order to experience some quiet, grown-up time. She’d go to bed late, expecting that the fatigue she would feel the next day (which starts early w/ 5 yr olds) would be offset by the experience of “having a life” between 9pm and midnight. Reasonable.
We conferred and it was decided that, at least for a while (couple months?), she should simply fall asleep with the 5 yr old and sleep through the night. She was already eating well and she wasn’t exercising so much that she was using up too much of her nourishment, so increasing her sleep was the fastest way to increase her balance.
Within a month her cycle was back to normal. And she began, like Brodie, to feel celebratory about her life.
No change in diet. No herbs. No supplements. Just a few extra hours of sleep every night.
We spend nourishment on moving around, working, thinking, worrying, being awake. We receive it through food, drink, fresh air and SLEEP. It doesn’t work well for our bodies or minds to outspend our resources. So it's kind of simple. We have 2 choices: spend less of our resources or get more. When we have trouble finding ways to spend less—that is, slow down & relax, we can increase our resources by eating or drinking more nourishing food or (non-alcoholic) drink (which is sometimes hard to digest), breathing more fresh air or sleeping more. There are other options too, but these are the basics.
Both of my friends had different manifestations of the same root cause: outspending their resources. They could have risked the side effects of the Pill to “regulate” their periods, but all they needed was to balance their input with their output.

"Society, Crazy Indeed"
“We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
More conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
More knowledge, but less judgment;
More experts, but more problems;
More medicines, but less healthiness;
We’ve been all the way to the Moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less
communication;
We have become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods, but slow digestion;
Tall man, but short character;
Steep profits, but shallow relationships.
It’s a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.”

Yoga para mulheres
Existem três estágios importantes na vida das mulheres,que devem ser levados em consideração:menstruação,gravidez e menopausa.
A prática da Hatha Yoga pode ajudar as mulheres a viverem bem esses estágios, pelo cultivo do prana e pelo fortalecimento de seu sistema reprodutivo, que é o lugar de poder do corpo feminino. Por isso, para manter a energia em estado saudável e em equilíbrio, a mulher deve ficar atenta à alimentação e à prática da Hatha Yoga durante esses períodos. A prática de diferentes asanas ajuda a manter o espaço no corpo, permitindo a livre passagem do prana ( força vital ) , a existir, a fluir, sem bloqueios.
Alguns asanas (posturas) beneficiam o cultivo do prana,como também podem prejudicar a saúde e o fluxo de energia no corpo,durante esses estágios.
Faço um convite a vocês, mulheres, para refletirem sobre o período menstrual. Devemos estar sempre atentos à qualidade do sangue e não somente durante esse período...Se o sangue não for mantido em estado saudável, várias doenças podem surgir, ao longo de nossas vidas. Quando o sangue se torna fraco, a respiração declina, a densidade dos ossos diminui e o agni (fogo interno) também se torna fraco.
Sendo assim,as mulheres ficam mais susceptíveis a todo tipo de doenças,pois é o fogo que mantém a luz do nosso corpo e absorve e digere tudo ,inclusive comida e pensamentos. As cólicas geralmente acontecem devido à estagnação do sangue, o que ocorre quando o prana ( força vital) não está se movendo livremente, no baixo ventre , que é a área reprodutiva. Algumas das doenças causadas pela estagnação do sangue são: Amenorreia (ausência de menstruação), disminorreia (menstruação com cólicas), hemorragia uterina, tumores, miomas e cistos no ovário.Várias delas respondem bem quando são tratadas com prática de yogasana .O tratamento varia de acordo com os sintomas de cada mulher.
A mestruação é um período importante de limpeza e desintoxicação Durante os três primeiros dias do ciclo, quando o sangramento é mais intenso, a mulher deve descansar e somente praticar asanas com suporte.
Asanas recomendados:
Supta Badha Konasana, Upavishta Konasana, Supta Padmasana ou Supta Swastikasana.
Dores de cabeça podem surgir neste período justamente pelo acumulo de pitta (agravamento de calor no corpo). Por isso, observe seu corpo e evite alimentos que aumentam o pitta como: café, chocolate e álcool. Para as mulheres com tendência à pressão baixa, é importante aumentar o tempo de inspiração ao longo do dia ou durante a pratica de posturas passivas.
Relações sexuais e atividades físicas fortes não devem ser feitas durante este período , pois causará
futuramente, problemas relacionados aos ossos devido ao enfraquecimento do sangue.
Os período pré e pós menstrual são importantíssimos para o as praticantes de hatha yoga. Posturas que colocam pressão no abdômen devem ser evitadas.
Aproveite neste período para relaxar, observar sua respiração, tomar bastante chá e permitir que seu corpo renove o sangue, e se desintoxique.
Geralmente, experenciamos uma queda de energia neste período, por isso ouça seu corpo e faça
o melhor possível para se manter saudável. No futuro, com certeza você terá uma menopausa mais tranquila.

Por que escolher uma dieta sem gluten? Why gluten free?
"Over millions of years, our diet produced a human body meant to be lean, fit, strong, resistant to infection,able to cover long distances, and to think fast and creatively throughout life. Today, that same body finds itself buckling under pressure of highg fat meals and too little activity. Down to earth nutrition shaped us, yet in the blink of any aye in time, we radically altered our foods, lives and environments, so that today we are consuming foods as alien to our ancient bodies as breathing carbon monoxide"
Adapted from The Origin Diet, Elizabeth Somer, MA, RN
O gluten e um tipo de proteina encontarda no trigo, no ceneteio, aveia, cevada e na maioria dos cereais. O Gluten pode causar serios problemas de saude por ser uma substancia dificil de se digerir e resitente as enzimas que quebram as proteinas no sistema digestivo. A consequencia em comer alimentos que conetenham gluten pode se transformar em uma alergia ou ate mesmo em uma doenca autoimune.
A doenca celiaca e uma reacao ao gluten. Existe tambem a possibilidade da pessoa adquirir algum tipo de alergia ao trigo ou adquirir diferentes graus de sensibilidade ao gluten, dificultando sua digetsao.
Pessoas que sofrem da doenca celica tem extrema sensibilidade ao gluten. A proteina encontarada no trigo causa uma infalamacao intestinal e outros sintomas graves. O gluetn, gera uma liberacao exagerada de zoulin, que faz a parede do intestino mais permeavel a moleculas grandes, incluindo o gluten.
O intestino permeavel proporciona a essas moleculas, como o gluten a entrarem no resto do corpo. Isso desencadeia uma resposta autoimune na qual o sistema imunologico dos celiacos identifica o gluten como sendo um invasor e responde com um ataque ao intestino, ao inves do invasor.
Comer um paozinho de vez quando faz mal algum porem o execsso pode alterar seu metabolismo, baixar a imunidade, favorecendo o crescimento de bacterias que gostam de calor e estagnacao. Experimente optar por alimento sem gluten para ver como voce se sente, hoje em dia e possivel encotrar pao, pasta e biscoitos sem gluten.
"A ingestao de gluten pode causar atrofia das vilosidade da mucosa do intestino delgado, fazendo com que ocorra uma ma absorcao de nutrientes, vitaminas, minerais e agua. Etsa incluem 250 sintoma conhecidos de sensibilidade ao gluten."

ENGLISH ARTICLE
Why should I go Gluten Free?
You probably have asked your self why should I go gluten free or at least: what is gluten?
Gluten is a type of protein that is found in wheat, rye and barley and it is found in most type of cereals. It is the substance that helps making bread elastic and it can cause seroius health problem.
The problem with gluten is that they are hard to digest and it is resistant to the enzymes to berak down
proteins in your digestive system.
The response to eating gluten containing foods can turn to be toleranted to stimulating the immune system. In some individuals this becomes an autoimmune response. Celiac disease is an extreme reaction to gluten. There are possibilities of wheat allergy and various degrees of gluten free sensitivity.
Celiac disease can cause atrophy of the villi of the small intestine mucosa, causing demage in the absortion of nutrients, vitamins, mineral and water. These includes 250 known symptoms of gluten sensitivity. Those symptoms can be fatigue, gastro-intestinal distress (bloating, gas, acid reflux,...) inability to concetrate, joint problem, mucle pain, depression and respiratory problems, infertility and multiple miscarriages.
Gluten can be found in many foods like, beer, cookies, breads, cakes pizza, soy sauce, cereals, crackers and etc...
Eating gluten is basically not good for humans. We absorb water, minerals, and other nutrients form the lininig of the small intestine. The lining is covered with tiny fingers called villi. These fingers vastly expand the absorbent area of the intestine. Zonulin is a protein produced when we eat,normally it causes passagesways in the small intestine to open so the important nutrients can be absorbed into bloodstream. Wheat cause to much zonulin to be produced-in all humans. This increases intestinal permeability and fragments form the digestive system leak into the bloodstream.
Food that contain gluten:
