I was very impressed with a company I found while looking for a wooden "Namaste" sign. They're called MacroSun, and they specialize in devotional-themed items, such as signs, jewelry, clothing, meditation accoutrements, home decor, and such. I spoke to the president of the company, Gil, and he is very much into sustainable business practices. He said the mission of Macrosun is, "to promote peace, knowledge, and respect both for our cultural differences and for the common humanity we share."
The company specializes in fair-trade distribution of products made primarily in South Asia, giving them an economic boost, and helping to export the cultural values of the region to the world. To this end, MacroSun also sponsors traditional South Asian dance, music, and performance art, and support major cultural events, such as the Tibetan Opera and the North American tour of the Buddhist Ritual Dance of the Kathmandu Valley.
Gil is also very committed the Mitrata-Nepal Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping underprivileged children in Nepal.
MacroSun is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, and has been there since 1991, growing steadily in product offerings and community support. Please check them out!
"Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry--all forms of fear--are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence." -- Eckhart Tolle
Change the fate of the 40's
Whether you're fresh out of college or funding Junior's tuition, the moment to launch your lifetime fitness plan is now. Then simply adjust your workouts throughout the years to give your muscles, bones, and heart what they need to keep working well enough to keep up with you. Commonly declared realities of body changes can be controlled, prevented or reversed. It's just a matter of realizing that your "Nature's buffer" of the 20s and 30s, has pretty much worn off by the 40s. That's when it's high time to take over...
Fate Says:Your Muscles Start To Shrink -- After 45, most women who don't lift weights start losing a significant amount of muscle, most of it from the lower body. Cheat Fate:Jump To Jive -- Maintaining muscle power requires fast, explosive movements (think sprinting and jumping), and/or get a mini-trampoline and bounce those muscles back to life.
Fate Says:Where's the dang Sandman? -- Sleep studies show that women over 40 spend more sleepless nights (and not the coed naked kind) than 20-somethings. Cheat Fate:Keep Your Paws Off The Snooze Button -- One cure for insomnia: Exercise before work. A 2004 Northwestern University study found that sedentary women who started exercising in the morning slept better than they had before.
Fate Says:Getting A Little Chunky, Aren't You? -- Cardio is a good way to protect your heart and burn calories, but you'll lose weight only if you're burning more calories than you're taking in (duh). Cheat Fate:Go to the Mat -- Research shows that women who practiced yoga for 10 years starting at age 45 gained 3 fewer pounds (if they were at a healthy weight) compared with those who didn't do yoga. >>> MORE > FIND OUT YOUR BODY TYPE
Life Energy Pack
Hook your body up to a life energy battery! Give your body the energy it needs to heal itself. Most naturopathic physicians will tell you that the main problem with giving herbal formulas or homeopathics, is that very often their patients' bodies lack enough ENERGY to fully utilize the healing properties of the medicines. To help fix this, the doctors will then prescribe dietary fasts, massage or acupuncture in an attempt to get energy into the body system. Once this has been done, then the herbal formulas will have much more punch and less waste.
Modern-day quantum physics has begun to scientifically explain these ancient practices, and new technologies are now available as a result. Quantum physics refers to this life energy, or "chi," as SUBTLE ENERGY. Without having to get too technical, the laws of quantum physics allow that life energy can be transferred from one substance to another. This is where the Life Energy Super Pack comes in... >>>> MORE INFO
