 THE CHAKRA SYSTEM
I am grateful to the ancient practitioners of yoga for passing on to us the wisdom of the Chakra System. Also, I want to acknowledge Anodea Judith, author, counselor, and yoga instructor, for her deep and insightful understanding of the chakras, some of which is included in this next section.
The chakras are spinning vortexes of light that are like organs of the energetic light body, the luminous egg or aura that surrounds our physical body. |

 Having practiced these forms from time to time, I can attest to their ability to contribute to relaxation and enhancement of mental well-being. yoga and tai chi are low-impact and widely available, making them some of the safest and most accessible therapeutic options available to seniors. In addition to relaxation, yoga and meditation can promote mindfulness, allowing us to avoid distraction and maintain a sense of presence and coherence.
The best cure for the body is a quiet mind.

 Clear you sinuses by blowing your nose after using the firing range. yoga practitioners often use a neti pot to wash the sinuses with salt water, but it's probably not likely that many people are both yoga practitioners and shooting range customers.
Change your clothes and shoes so you do not contaminate your home, your office or your car. Wash them separately from your family's clothing.
Have a regular medical checkup and request that you be checked for lead levels.
Switch to ammunition that contains lead-free primers -- this is widely available from most makers in many popular calibers. |

 I'm a big fan of yoga, hiking, and Pilates, but maybe you're better suited to water exercise and weight training, or maybe swing dancing, pushups, and sit-ups are more your speed. Maybe you'd rather shoot hoops with some friends for a half-hour, or jump up and down on a mini-trampoline in front of an afternoon talk show. If you think taking long walks is boring, get yourself a portable music player and listen to tunes or a book on tape while you stride.
Yoga and Pilates are wonderful because they promote an inward focus and help you to relax and be in the moment. |

 Yoga Bar (http://www.everythingraw.com/yogabar.htm). It tastes fantastic: Light, energetic, and not too dense or overly sweet. I bought a whole box and handed them out to friends. Look for these in health food stores or get them directly from Paul's website. (Paul's company also has a dark chocolate raw food bar that's worth looking into...)

 A student of mine, who had spent part of his childhood in India, told me that he had been struck by the fact that millions of people in India practice yoga on a regular basis, and do so in a very matter-of-fact way. In the United States, in contrast, where yoga is secularized and widely seen as a health practice, people seem to feel that it can't be effective unless they burn incense and light candles.
The religious roots of some of mind-body medicine's most striking narrative themes account for some of its extraordinary success in our time. |

 I advise you to study and constantly use this "breathing issue," studying either from specific books or directly, from your own experience with professional teachers of Rebirthing, Vivation, and Pranayama yoga.
Circular Respiration
Among many yoga breathing techniques, I advise you to learn and use "circular breathing," as rebirthing and vivation suggest. Your breathing must flow in continual sequence, circulating without interruptions. |

 Consider acupuncture and yoga, until a few years ago were considered "unscientific" and alien, their purported effectiveness explained as a result of a placebo effect or hypnosis, or through misreporting or outright lies. Today, along with a host of previously maligned "alternative" practices, they have made inroads into standard medical practice. The editors of JAMA now accept acupuncture and yoga as "facts of life," and are encouraging research on those treatments. |

 Studies show that the practice of hatha yoga by back pain sufferers can reduce "pain intensity, reliance on pain medication, and disability."6 yoga has also been shown to reduce the stress level of cancer patients, ease insomnia, and improve emotional wellbeing.7 It's the first place to start when dealing with low back pain, rather than jumping to drugs, which may mask the symptoms without doing anything to help the conditions giving rise to the pain. |

| I started reading about energy-building techniques— everything from yoga to the latest research in exercise physiology. I quickly realized that all of these techniques aim to increase oxygen levels in the body.
At the age of 47, I developed—and began practicing—a high-oxygen program. Within a matter of months, my oxygen usage rose from 42.7 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute to 55 milliliters—a 30% increase. At the same time, my energy levels rose dramatically. |
| Stress-reduction techniques, such as yoga, can also help.
Migraine headaches are more severe, but they usually can be controlled or prevented by using ibuprofen or prescription drugs, such as sumatriptan (Imitrex).
Warning: Headaches that increase in frequency. . .are unusually severe.. .or are accompanied by other symptoms, such as nausea, slurred speech or vision changes, should be brought to a doctor's attention immediately. They could be a sign of stroke, infection in a brain blood vessel, meningitis or even a brain tumor. |
| There are many reliable ways to relax, including meditation and self-hypnosis as well as yoga, tai chi and other gentle exercises. For a real treat, have a massage. And don't forget to regularly kick back and just take it easy.
GET AND STAY FIT
Exercise is vital to well-being, including brain health. Everyone should have a regular htness program. Key elements...
•Start an aerobic activity. Anything that gets your heart rate up for a sustained period, such as brisk walking, jogging and swimming, markedly improves the brain's frontal lobe function. |
| Janine Blackman, medical director of the University of Maryland's Center for Integrative Medicine, has another theory—the "mindful" nature of yoga creates a healthier response to stress, lowering stress hormones and preventing stress-driven eating.
"Middle age is a full time in life," Blackman says. "A better response to this stress can lower Cortisol and other stress hormones, which helps physiologically. If Cortisol is elevated, you're more likely to have insulin resistance, which is central to obesity. |

 I read about everything: nutrition, raw food, juicing, kombucha tea, herbal medicine, yoga, Hulda Clark and Max Gerson and other alternative healers, ozone therapy, chelation, hypnotism, psychotherapy, the I Ching, and countless other therapies and schools of thought. For the most part, each group presented persuasive arguments to support their point of view. The raw foods people said that because we evolved from apes we should be eating only raw vegetables and fruits. The blood-type people said that your diet should be designed to work with and support the characteristics of your blood group. |
| If you practice yoga or the martial arts, you know how important proper breathing is to overall physical strength and agility. It may be just as important to your health at a bioenergetic level. On the negative side, one interesting hint from NES research is that spending a lot of time in air-conditioning may deplete your Source energy.

 Choices to consider include meditation, progressive muscular relaxation, yoga, T'ai chi, and/or pilates.
Arsenicum album: This remedy can ease the soreness of rough, scaly skin that is so dry it looks like paper. Signature features include burning sensations and soreness as a result of scratching, symptoms that are eased by contact with warmth. Stress and anxiety noticeably aggravate skin problems, and skin eruptions may alternate with asthma.
Lycopodium: If dry, raw skin is combined with urinary or gastric problems when feeling physically rundown, use Lycopodium. |

Chitosan Not Effective for Weight Loss
Marketers say that chitosan, which is made from shellfish, has fat-burning properties. However, in order to lose 1 kilogram (approximately 2.2 pounds) of body fat, you would have to take almost 10 capsules of chitosan a day for 25 months.

| Meditation, T'ai chi, and yoga are beneficial.
Medication: The medication loperamide is used to treat diarrhea. For very severe unresponsive episodes of diarrhea, a medication called alosetron (Lotronex™) can be used. It can cause severe constipation and should be used carefully. Tegaserod (Zelnorm®)is used to treat chronic constipation that does not respond to dietary modification. The antispasmotic dicyclomine (Bentyl®) can be used to treat spasms and bloating pain, although lifestyle and diet modification are usually successful. |

 Meditation and gentle yoga can also help some people fall asleep more easily as part of a cognitive therapy program or on their own. Insomniacs often spend too much time in bed trying to sleep, and the best thing to do is to get out of bed and read for a while or listen to soft music.
The Bottom Line
When treating insomnia it is important to consider its impact in its proper context. The manufacturers of sleeping pills make much of the fact that one out of four people complains of insomnia, and of these, half have severe functional disturbances. |

THE RESTORATION
Chapter g
BEGINTHE RESTORATION
Don't think for even a second about blowing off the Restoration phase. Do so and you will not effect permanent changes in your eating habits and lasting success in weight controt-or the benefits of improved health and enhanced longevity. Remember, it takes at least three months to make new habits permanent ones. So spending six weeks in Teardown and then returning to your old way of eating will have been an exercise in futility. |

| Meditation, deep-breathing exercises, and yoga are all worth trying. Even if they don't end up preventing hot flashes, you will get other benefits from these activities, such as improved sleep and general calmness. Slow, controlled, deep rhythmic breathing or "paced respiration" practiced twice a day has been shown to decrease hot flashes. Take a slow, deep breath, hold it for a few seconds, and exhale just as slowly. They say that the paced-respiration technique can help relieve a hot flash if begun at the onset.
Finally, if you smoke, entering menopause is a good time to quit. |
