Yoga means ‘union’; for example union of the body and mind or the individual Self and the Universe. The practice of yoga can teach you to cope better with daily stresses and strains of modern daily living  – on a physical level as well as mental and spiritual levels too. It is therefore a complete system of health.

Yoga is based on the tenets  “simple living and high thinking”. The body has specific requirements that need to be fulfilled for it to work at its optimum and for you to find inner peace. The ancients Yogis viewed the body as a vehicle for the soul and this is a good metaphor for modern day. Just as a car needs a lubricating system, a battery, a cooling system, proper fuel and a responsible driver so does the body – yoga helps fulfill these through:

Proper exercise – asana (meaning steady pose) works on every part of the body, stretching and strengthening the muscles, the spine, as well as massaging and toning the internal organs, glands and nerves, keeping all bodily systems in a radiant health. This is likened to the lubricating system in the metaphor of a car. Through the practice of asanas you become stronger and more flexible, your posture improves so you stand taller and your body becomes more toned. When performed in a slow and relaxed manner the asanas develop more than the physical body, they expand mental awareness and enhance spiritual capabilities– a steady body presupposes steady mind.

Proper breathing  - pranayama   (meaning control of vital energy or breath) through breathing techniques the energy (prana) is released to recharge the body, by connecting the body to its battery the Solar Plexus, where huge amounts of potential energy are stored. This helps to control the mind, leaving you feeling calm and refreshed. Using the breath during each asana helps you to hold and progress in the posture, releasing the energy in the body, so it flows freely. This is the battery in the car metaphor

Proper relaxation – savasana is also a vital part of keeping the body and mind healthy; rest and relaxation are nature’s way for the body to re-charge, maintaining the body’s equilibrium. Yoga teaches relaxation on three levels – physical, mental and spiritual. This is the cooling system in the car metaphor.

Proper diet- vegetarian is eating with awareness. Supplying the body with food that has most positive effect on the body and least negative effect on the environment. This is the proper fuel so that the car would need to operate.

Positive thinking and meditation. The practise of positive thinking and meditation gives increased clarity, improves concentration and brings peace of mind, which is beneficial to those with a hectic stressful life. Positive thinking helps remove habitual negative thought patterns, putting you more in control, leading to peace of mind in preparation for meditation. In the car metaphor this is the responsible driver, you drive the vehicle and choose which direction to go.

That is the theory.  In reality, no one can guarantee you perfect health even if you try to put every good health habit into practice.  Mostly, however, you get your just deserts.  As many medical researchers have shown, taking care of yourself reduces the risk of ill health. 

Everything in your body was once food.  Feed yourself junk and you cannot expect your body to stay in top running order.  Feed your body well and it is likely to last longer and work better. 

Of course there are exceptions.  Some people abuse their bodies and seem to suffer few ill-effects from the neglect.  There are also some people who drive their cars in a dangerous way without ever having an accident but it is not behaviour any sane person would recommend.  Yet some people use this same argument with health, perhaps quoting a friend who had drunk heavily, smoked and eaten a diet of junk food but lived to be 85!  Just as some idiotic drivers can be lucky, so can some people take risks with their health without suffering from any unfortunate consequences. Most can’t.  Generally, people who look after themselves live longer – and are healthier during their longer lives than those who do not. 

Food is an integral part of health.  It is the fuel for energy.  It provides the nutrients we need for growth and repair of body tissues.  And ultimately it controls every reaction of our complex body machinery.  It is also a social lubricant and a daily source of pleasure.  Depending on our choice of foods, we can satisfy some or all of these aspects of our health. 

Benefits of a healthy diet: 

• Feeling on top of the world
• Plenty of energy for exercise or play
• Correct weight – not too high and not too low
• Blood fats (cholesterol and triglycerides) normal
• Blood sugar normal
• Strong bones
• Improved ability to cope with stress
• Reduced risk of many common health problems
• Immune system fighting fit
• Looking younger 

There is a natural link between relaxation and the lowering of blood pressure. It follows that if you think that your blood pressure is higher than it should be, one of the ways in which you can earn to help yourself is by learning the art of relaxation.

It is extremely important to meet the medical profession half way and to do what you can to look after your own health. It is far too easy to just make an appointment to see your GP and simply hand over complete responsibility for your health to him or her. This is not fair upon the already overloaded medical profession, but more importantly, you are not doing the best you can for yourself.

I have been asked many times why I sell hypnosis recordings to help lower blood pressure. People point out that there is already an adequate remedy available to everyone in tablet form. But to me, this misses the point.

When your body presents you with a symptom this should be seen as a form of communication between your body and your mind. A physical symptom like that of high blood pressure tells you that your body is overloaded or compromised in some way. The symptom is effectively trying to tell you to take a step back, and revise the ways in which you are doing things.

If there were no tablets, pills or potions available, our only option would be to seek a different way of living; we would look for natural ways in which to reduce stress or tension and so on. But the majority of people in the Western world tend to take the tablet and continue living in the same reckless way, donning blinkers so as not to see the long term consequences.

But the human body does give way in the end. If you keep ignoring symptoms, it will produce more and different diseases, until it becomes increasingly more difficult to ignore the messages which your body is transmitting. Think about it in this way for just a moment; if you had a broken leg and you took morphine or some other pain killer so that you no longer felt the pain, would you still set out for a five mile jog? The answer here is clearly a resounding “no”. So why would a person with high blood pressure, just take tablets to lower that pressure, and yet continue living life in exactly the same way as before? Surely an intelligent person would seek to look at the cause and try to find a way in which to relieve that trigger to disease?

More and more people are aware that they have lost the ability to relax. But relaxation is a natural ability and one which can easily be relearned. Hypnosis is particularly useful in the area of mind and body communication. With hypnosis you can learn to relax and thereby benefit from the natural relaxation response, including that of lowering high blood pressure. But this is not all that hypnosis can do to assist you in looking after your health.

Hypnosis provides access to your inner mind, your subconscious mind, and suggestions can be made to assist your body to self heal and to promote well being. For those people who would like to meet the medical profession half way and to take greater responsibility for their own health, hypnosis is undoubtedly a very useful tool to use.

The most important picture you will ever change in your subconscious mind is the picture you now have of yourself right now. You will start with this image. You will start recreating your subconscious imagery by recreating your existing body picture. Before starting your imagery training, it is important that you become totally relaxed in order to focus your mind.

Once you have accomplished this, you will find it is quite easy to engage all of your senses, making it possible for you to create a new body image. Once you feel you are completely relaxed, I want you to see a picture of your body in your subconscious mind. When you have your body in focus, I want you to reshape it, to exactly how you want it to look.

See your new body down to the smallest detail; make it become so real that it seems that you have already accomplished your weight goal. Once you have your new body picture completed, place yourself in a physical activity that you know you would enjoy and will be beneficial in helping you attain your new weight goal. This activity can be anything from a brisk walk to an aerobics class, to playing tennis, to completing an unfinished task. Your new body is now capable of performing any activity that you find enjoyable.

The emotional states that drive you to overeat or eat when you are not hungry are fear, guilt and anger. These emotional states are responsible for depression and low self-esteem. When creating your new self-image, you must exchange these negative emotional states for your most powerful emotional state. Love is your most powerful emotional state especially when directed to your new self-image. It is essential that you practice reproducing your new active body imagery on a daily basis. It is only through daily practice that your new body picture will become a permanent part of your subconscious, thus allowing you to reproduce this picture without a moments thought. The power of Burris MIND/FITNESS is in the ability to change programmed emotional states that do not work for you, for programmed emotional states that DO work for you.

Regardless of weather your goal is a change in diet for weight loss, an increase in your fitness program or to take control of an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia. In the end the question you need to ask yourself is…Am I completely happy with the mind running itself or do I need to take control of it? If your answer is I need to take control of it, then Burris MIND/FITNESS is the answer.

The health of your body is dependent on your mental health and taking control of the subconscious is the key to lasting permanent change of any behavior.

This diet comprises of red meats, alcohols, dairy products and others.

Acid foods are really very harmful to our body because they cause our blood cells to clamp together thereby enabling the blood NOT to deliver oxygen and food nutrients efficiently. This in turn causes different kinds of diseases, because our body cells are not able to accept essential nutrients and the wastes are not properly disposed of.

Alkaline foods on the other hand, help us maintain healthy living cells because they help our blood function well and the pH balance is achieved. The oxygen and nutrients that are needed by our body are delivered throughout the system that enable the body to do well. Not only does our body do well but also our mind. Hence, we turn to rejuvenate ourselves and live our healthy life.

Acid alkaline diet is a key to improving one’s life. We must remember that it is important to maintain a balanced pH condition in our body. Therefore, we should observe that our diet must consist of 75-80% alkaline forming foods and 20-25% acid foods. This way, we will be on our optimum health condition.

The least favorite part of the body is the belly. The reasons for the belly fat may surprise you. It is not only about eating unhealthy foods, although it is a major contributor.

Lack of sleep and stress play large roles in the growing belly as well. When people are under a great deal of stress, they tend to eat more comfort foods or convenient foods. Most of these foods contain trans fats, which are the bad fats that cause many health problems if consumed in large quantities.

It is also proven that people who sleep less than 8 1/2 hours a night tend to be overweight as well. Our bodies need time to rest to keep the body systems effective. With the busy schedules of everyone today, exercise is taking a backseat to overtime.

If you want to lose belly fat, you will have to make some changes. Finding time to make the changes is going to be the trick. You should get regular exercise. It is not only good for the body, but good for the mind. Exercising reduces stress. Stress leads to all sorts of health problems, including the bulging belly. Walking 15 minutes three to four times a day, will help re-energize your body and your mind.

Eating healthier is another way to lose belly fat. Choose from each portion of the food group. Keep track of your calories and be sure to leave out the vending machine. You should buy healthy snacks at the store and keep them with you all of the time. That way, when the urge hits you, you can munch on something that is a better choice. You will be thankful later, and it will make your body look better, too.

Drink plenty of water. If you drink six to eight glasses of water a day, you will be less hungry and therefore, will eat less. Water is a necessity for your body to keep your systems running smoothly. If you walk daily and drink water while you are walking, you will lose weight in a healthy way.

Lastly, getting a good night’s sleep is important. Don’t drink caffeine or have too much to eat before bedtime. Your body will stay up late digesting all of the food if consumed later. Caffeine will interrupt your sleep as well. Better choices of food, drinking plenty of water, getting exercise and sleeping well will help you lose belly fat.

Many people are just becoming more and more health conscious nowadays that the vitamin and Health Supplement industry continues to boost way up the market. You can find all kinds and shapes of vitamins and health supplements lining up in long arrays in the local drugstores, health food stores and fitness supplement stores. If you want to be free from the hustle, you can even buy vitamins online. This may be an advantage for us since these “wonder tablets” have become much more available and accessible for us. But with them lining in so many kinds, do we not end up confused on which vitamin or health supplement to buy? With them selling like hot cakes, how can we be sure that we get to buy the good ones and not the fake or poorly manufactured ones? Do we also know the safest place where to buy them?

Vitamins and health supplements are basically needed by our body to help some organic functions going on our system. Some vitamins help boost our energy while some are specific to brighten eyesight. Some vitamins are developed to protect our body organs like liver and heart while others are said to improve one’s memory and mental ability. Generally, you will surely find that all vitamins and health supplements are needed by our body.

It would be wise to consult first an expert to know which vitamin or health supplement you would specifically need. Surely, you would not want to end up gulping a handful of different tablets in one seating. Just buy the one that your body requires to function better. Next, it would be best to check on which kind of vitamin and health supplement will work for you. Most of them claim to be “organic” and “all-natural”. Do not just jump on the certain claims. Learn to check the label. Of course, it will pay off if you go for the trusted brands. All natural vitamins and health supplements are considered to be safer and better as they are non-synthetically manufactured and would come from natural sources such as fruits, herbs, vegetables, and even roots. They often come in concentrated or dried forms and are said to be easily digested and used up by our body systems.

The next thing to worry: where to buy? Again, there are so many places where you can grab your ideal vitamin and health supplement. You can go to the nearest drugstore or buy vitamins online.

Just be wise in identifying the real ones from the fake or imitations. Also, it would be wise to go only for the trusted stores that sell the real ones.
