Anti-ageing Tips.

We all know people who seem younger than their years – and those who seem old before their time. Our diet, activity levels, and even our emotional health all have a direct effect on the ageing process. How long your body and mind stay fit, active and healthy is determined by how you live your life.

Prana - The life energy of nature
prana - is that life energy which keeps the body alive & healthy.
Basically there are three major source of prana: solar prana, air prana and ground prana.
Solar prana - is prana from sunlight.It invigorates the whole body and promotes good health. It can be obtained by sunbathing or exposure to sunlight for about 5 to 10 minutes and drinking water that has been exposed to sunlight.
Air prana - Prana contained in the air is called air prana or air vitality globule. Air prana is absorbed by the lungs through breathing. More air prana can be absorbed by the slow rhythmic breathing than by short shallow breathing. We get most of our life energy from the air we breathe. Every living thing depends upon breathing. From the first cry of an infant to the last gasp of a dying man, there is nothing but a series of breaths.
Ground prana - prana contained in the ground is called ground prana or ground vitality globules. This is absorbed through the soles of the feet. This is done automatically & unconciously. Walking bare foot increases the ground prana absorbed by the body.
Water absorbes prana from sunlight, air and ground that it comes in contact with. Plants and trees absorb prana from sunlight, air , water ang ground. Men and animals obtain prana from sunlight , air, water, ground and food. Fresh food contains more prana than preserved food.
Certain trees, such as pine trees or old and gigantic healthy trees, exude a lot of excess prana. Tired or sick people benefit much by lying down or resting underneath these trees.
it is observed that there is more prana during the day than the night.
So Take a morning walk, breathe easy, Drink plenty of water, relax under a big healthy tree and watch the birds and squirrels for some time. Be healthy and happy always help you lead a good long life.

The Himalayas
I am always fascinated by beauty of The Great Himalayas. I like to read about it. Its mysterious unknown depths& heights thrills me. The myth-stories of "Yathi"-The snowman, above 2000 years old sages, the forest of flowers which spreads the fragrance of sleep...and so many fascinates me. In my wild dreams I visit "Kailasa"- Heaven of Lord Siva&Parvathy, Manasa sarovar - where devine swans live, who drinks only milk.
In 2002 september I got the opportunity to visit 'Kulu-Manali', one of the best tourist spot in India. The view of the Himalaya moutain peaks in the morning sunrise time- so fantastic ,covered by goldenrays the peaks look like mounts of gold and silver.
The serene calm devine peaks of Himalayas produce unconditional love towards nature.
'Love the Nature, Love our Mother earth, Love the lives around us'.
Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
