How Your Sleep Position Affects Your Health

 How Your Sleep Position Affects Your Health   Strike Your Sleep Pose 1 / 16 You turn off the lights and get yourself ready to snooze. Are you on your back, side, or stomach? Though there is no strong science connecting your sleep position to things like back pain, snoring, personality, and how often you wake up during the night, here are some interesting associations that have been noted.   On Your Belly 2 / 16 Are you a tummy sleeper? If so, do you have problems sleeping? Your slumber pose may not be helping. You’re more likely to be restless and toss and turn to get comfortable when you sleep on your belly. It can strain your neck and your lower back, too. If this is how you like to sleep, you may want to use a very soft pillow or none at all to keep your neck comfortable. Belly Position: Freefall 3 / 16 About 7% of the population sleeps this way. You lie on your belly with your arms around a pillow and your head turned sideways. If this is your f...

15 Reasons Why Your Spouse Doesn’t Listen To You

 15 Reasons Why Your Spouse Doesn’t Listen To You When you feel like your wife doesn’t listen to me or your husband doesn’t listen, this can cause you to feel stressed out. It may also lead to arguments or disagreements. Both men and women may not be listening to their spouses, so this is essentially a problem that anyone may encounter. When you are left wondering why don’t you listen to me, these reasons may be able to offer some insight. 1. You aren’t good at expressing your feelings If you often wonder how do I get my spouse to listen to me, you might want to evaluate if you can express your feelings. Your spouse may not be able to express their feelings because you are unable to as well. Try your best to get your point across, even if you find it challenging to do so. You can write down notes ahead of time if you need to. 2. You rely on others instead of your spouse Do you talk to other people about your relationship instead of your spouse? This may be the reaso...

12 Ways to Fight the Aging Process

 12 Ways to Fight the Aging Process 1. Little Aches and Pains Whether it’s an old injury that keeps flaring up or the start of arthritis, you’re more likely to feel a few aches more often as you age. Regular movement can ease pain and make your joints more flexible. Try low-impact exercises like swimming, yoga, and tai-chi. Heating pads or ice packs can help, too. If those don’t give you enough relief, talk to your doctor about over-the-counter or prescription medicines, like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). 2. Wrinkles These show up as your skin gets thinner, drier, and less elastic. But some things can make them worse, like smoking and ultraviolet rays from the sun or a tanning bed. To ease these signs of aging, protect your skin from the sun, and if you smoke, quit. Some skin products, like moisturizers or prescription retinoids, might make wrinkles less noticeable. But you’ll need to give them time to work -- most need 6 weeks to 3 months to show results. ...

Why Do Parents Never Grow Out Of Parenthood?

 Why Do Parents Never Grow Out Of Parenthood? The trouble with the family is that children grow out of childhood, but parents never grow out of their parenthood. Man has not even yet learned that parenthood is not something that you have to cling to forever. When a child is a grown-up person, your parenthood is finished. The child needed it – he was helpless. He needed the mother, the father, their protection; but when the child can stand on his own, the parents have to learn how to withdraw from the life of the child. And because parents never withdraw from the life of the child, they remain constant anxious to themselves and to the children. They destroy, they create guilt; they don’t help beyond a certain limit. To be a parent is great art. To give birth to children is nothing – any animal can do it; it is a natural, biological, instinctive process. But to be a parent is something extraordinary; very few people are really capable of being parents. And the criterion is that...

Let Us Welcome The Light And Awareness In Life

 Let Us Welcome The Light And Awareness In Life   When Isaac Newton’s research paper came out in 1672, the other scientists and scholars of that era for the first time became aware that sunlight contains particles of different colours. Sunlight has always been there and so was the case with the other rays, but it took Newton to remind humanity about the potential and true nature of light. Much before Newton, our ancient scriptures talked about a journey that removes all the darkness and brings light into our lives. That light is not some external illumination, but consciousness or awareness and we attain it by living our lives in the here and now. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad’s message to humanity on light is more reflective than Newton’s: ‘Asato Maa Sadgamaya, Tamaso Maa Jyotirgamaya’. Lead me from untruth to the truth, lead me from darkness to light. The shloka indicates another aspect of our being that man has the potential to become light if consciousness is awakened. ...
