New Age Bracelets for Long Lasting Health

Maintaining your health is one of the keys to long life. It’s a life-long process that requires constant exercise and eating the right foods. Even with your best efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle, you may still struggle with illness and injuries; it’s a fact of life that no one is immune to. However, you have nothing to lose by turning to a higher power.

You may believe in supernatural forces or you may not. Even if you dismiss it as nothing but silly superstitions, it’s still good to have an open mind. If you are struggling with a malady, then there are bracelets endowed with charms that are said to bless the wearer with improved health and well-being.

MIZZE, an Israeli designer jewelry company, has released a new line of handmade charm jewelry that is fashionable, affordable and just might bring good fortune to the wearer.

The latest jewelry line comprises of bracelets with a red string, which symbolizes the Tomb of Rachel, a revered matriarch in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The string is embedded inside woven cotton, which comes in multiple colors. Every bracelet comes with a charm or two; each trinket has a special spiritual function that blesses the person wearing it in some way.

The Hamsa hand, for instance, wards off the evil eye. For those who are looking to improve their health, they can get a bracelet with a King Solomon amulet, which is said to preserve and improve health. Bracelets with the Solomon seal are also recommended for expectant mothers as it is said to protect both the mother and her unborn child.

If you wish to improve your health or know someone who is not in the best physical condition, then try wearing a Kabbalah bracelet with a charm for long lasting health. Even if you don’t believe in good luck charms, the trinket will at least serve as a reminder to take care of your health for the sake of yourself and loved ones.

Green Your Room to Help You Sleep Better

Greening your room is a proven way to help you sleep better. When your room is filled with junk it can create anxiety and keep you up at night. If you’re having trouble falling asleep at night, you should green out your room. The environment that you sleep in has a lot to do with how you sleep. Here are a few things that you can do to green your room and help you sleep better.

Air Quality

The air quality in your home can have a lot to do with why you’re not sleeping very well. When the air quality is poor you will be breathing in dust and hair. To improve the air quality in your home, you can change out the air filters with green filters. These are made out of recycled materials. You can also dust the surfaces in your room weekly. This will cut down on the amount of dust and hair in your room. Vacuum the carpets in your room twice a week to remove the hair and dust. Wash your sheets weekly to cut down on ingesting dirt and make sure that you’re changing your pillowcases frequently.

Lighting

The lights in your bedroom can easily inhibit your sleeping. Lighting from your alarm clocks, computer monitors and other electronic devices can disrupt your sleep cycle. Turn off computer monitors and power down any electrical devices that you don’t need. Alarm clocks can show the time, but also provide a lot of light. Remove alarm clocks and use the alarm on your phone to cut down on the lighting in your room. If you can’t remove the alarm clock, use the dimmer feature to lower the lighting. Excessive lighting in your room can easily draw more power and waste electricity. Green your room by dimming or eliminating lighting all together and you should get to sleep much faster.

Remove The Clutter

The clutter in your room can affect your sleep patterns subconsciously. One of the best ways to green out your room is donate all of the junk that you’re not using. Clutter can also lead to dust and this affects the air quality. Go through all of your stuff and make a pile of everything that you don’t need. Donate the items to local shelters or you local community thrift store. This will give back to the community while helping you sleep a lot better.

Health Gifts & Kabbalistic Healing: Taking a Holistic Approach

Holistic Healing and taking a holistic approach when seeking treatment for imbalances and deciding to live a more balanced lifestyle is a big step.

The difference between holistic healing and alternative medicine, complementary medicine, and integrative medicine lays in the fact physical health is not necessarily the main focus. Still, often the experience of physical discomfort prompts a person’s pursuit of holistic healing.

Holistic or “wholistic” healing addresses all parts of an individual, not just the physical aspect of a person where manifested illnesses are most apparent. It is an ongoing quest for the discovery of answers better living.

Holistic healing, you see, is really a lifestyle approach. The holistic approach goes far beyond the Mind-Body connection of discovering and maintaining wellness.

Turquoise Tree of Life Kabbalah NecklaceOne who really embraces the desire to find wholeness within his own being learns the importance of tending to relationships, caring for the planet and having compassion for mankind.

Types of holistic healing include aromatherapy, ayurveda medicine, natural diet, Chinese medicine, energy-based therapies, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal remedies, exercise and more.

I would also like to add a word about Kabbalistic healing – as it has long been something special to me. Kabbalistic Healing is a Jewish Mystical tradition, a therapeutic system of healing and living which relates the human body to a universal or spiritual road map. In Kabbalah, God is linked to the mind, body and spirit.

Using something known as “hand mudras,” (or hand signs) a patient may be observed for specific responses of the muscle being tested. Kabbalistic healing is a portal for transferring energy to the body through hand mudras. Because “hand mudras” focus on the nervous system and on various energy levels of awareness, they might cause the body or nervous system to resonate to that particular level.

Based on the “Tree of Life,” or “Etz HaChaim,” Kabbalistic healing is known as the “Sign Language of the Soul.” Ten energy centers of the Tree of Life depict openings in the human body and all together there are 32 pathways on the Tree of Life.

Via Kabbalistic healing, chakras are balanced in direct relation to the Tree of Life. Kabbalistic healing also employs the 4-letter Name ascribed to God: YHVH. Remarkably, these letters are in perfect unison with the 4 nucleotides of DNA and the four states of yang and yin as well.

Sometimes Kabbalists wear special amulets to remind them of the things they learn during their therapy and spiritual practices. These amulets can be found combined in health bracelets, Kabbalah necklaces and various Gifts for Health in growing popularity worldwide.

Looking Good Means Feeling Good

Nature lovers like myself – no this is not to toot my own horn – are some of the most beautiful people in the world. We that dear the extreme, we that have adventurous fun with Mother Earth and not at her expense are a dime a dozen. When I am hitting the single-track trails on my fat mountain bike, or blazing the slopes on my snowboard – when I am scaling ballsy cliffs with nothing but a rope, or surfing the big kahuna waves, I also want to look good.

MIZZEI know I know – now this might sound a little on the superficial side, but you must admit, whether you’re in the States, Europe or South America, members of the Extreme Green Team, and you know who you are, are easily identifiable in a large crowd. Maybe it’s the wind-burned cheeks, the earthy natural fragrance, the rough leather skin, the tough Carhartts and Patagonia – occasionally you find the dread-locked hemp-loving hippy. We tend to have fun the same way, care about our planet and even have a similar fashion sense.

Israel is a very beautiful place in terms of the people, the land and the unique fashion. Now if you can’t quite afford a plane ticket what with all of your holiday spending, you can at least bring some Sabra vibes to where you are – with a new designer line of jewelry called MIZZE.

The name of the line is a play-on-words, based on the Hebrew, ?? ??, it means, “who is it?” – perhaps questioning us about our identity… are you the nature lover, the spiritual type, the effortlessly fashionable? If so, then you’d look good in some of Mizze’s pieces.

Summer Solstice Draws Crowds of Druids to Stonehenge

More than 30,000 Druids and curious spectators attended this year’s annual Summer Solstice ritual at the ancient Stonehenge monument in southern England.

The event, which ushers in the summer solstice (when the longest day of year is marked) is said to have magical as well as healing properties to all who gather to see the sun’s beams piercing between the geometrical positions of the monument. A few couples were on hand to “tie the knot” in traditional Druid fashion, and were dressed in what are said to be authentic Druid costumes.

The Druids are said to be an ancient animistic pagan cult who lived in the British Isles as long as 2,000 years ago – during Roman times. Originally, they worshiped trees and practiced human sacrifice, usually with unfortunate captives from the many wars these people were involved in with other groups who lived in what the Romans referred to as Britannia. Their religious beliefs were banned by the Catholic Church and Church of England for centuries, until contemporary groups began to present the religion in milder forms, during the 17th Century.

“It’s the most magical place on the plant. When you touch the stones from inside the ‘circle’ you feel warmth like you’re touching a tree and not stone – you’re absolutely drawn to its love” said a Druid participant, who owns and antique and New Age objects shop.

The party began the night before and went on into the wee hours, until the sun was first noticed peeking though the clouds and touching Heel Stone, the central focus point of the monument. A number of vendors were offering al kinds of “magical” Druid charms and amulets, which added something special to the occasion.

Even non pagans were impressed, which was helped this year by good weather. Many came because they said that the mystical qualities of the event were good for “healing of the soul” as well as the body. One person, a yoga instructor from Lithuania, said that “this place gives us so much energy and hope that we can forget about the problems of our everyday lives and believe that all our wishes will come true”.

And if they believe it, their wishes most certainly will come true – for a day anyway.

Assforestation

The tenderness of the delicate American buttock is causing more environmental devastation than the country’s love of gas-guzzling cars, fast food or McMansions, according to green campaigners. At fault, they say, is the US public’s insistence on extra-soft, quilted and multi-ply products when they use the bathroom.

Apparently, “assforestation“, which stands for ass-related deforestation, is a very serious problem!

More than 98% of the toilet roll sold in America comes from virgin wood, said Hershkowitz. In Europe and Latin America, up to 40% of toilet paper comes from recycled products. Greenpeace this week launched a cut-out-and-keep ecological ranking of toilet paper products.

“We have this myth in the US that recycled is just so low quality, it’s like cardboard and is impossible to use,” said Lindsey Allen, the forestry campaigner of Greenpeace.

Think twice before you wipe! Because it’s more than your ass you’re wiping; it’s the only rain forests we’ve got you’re wiping!
