EYE BLINKING

To understand how much a discomfort dry eye syndrome is, try standing before a blowing electric fan for several minutes with your eyes wide open. Your eyes will feel dry, gritty, scratchy and will turn red. You will experience a burning and itching sensation, and light sensitivity. Specialists said, when you are so focused on your work, or when you are watching or reading, you forget to blink. Blinking is a natural action that keeps the ocular surface healthy, and if you don't blink, it causes evaporative tear loss. Staying up late, working too long in an air-conditioned room or exposing yourself to cigarette smoke are other factors that contribute to situational dry eyes.

To remedy dry eyes syndrome, you should determine what is causing it in the first place. Call center agents, encoders and other people who work long hours at the computer should position their monitor slightly below eye level as this allows the eyes to be partly covered (thus protected) by the lids.

BE aware, when using computer, or watching tv, or reading a book for hours, take a break every 15 minutes to close your eyes for a minute or two. Applying eye drops is another effective way of relieving dry eye syndrome.

PROTECTION from having DRY EYES

If you are exposed to environment factors that aggravate dry eyes - over exposure to the computers, air conditioning
sunlight and wind, take a break every 15mins to blink and close your eyes for a minute or two.

BE aware, blinking lets your tears spread evenly around the eye surface. Aging is the primary risk factor of dry

eyes. If you are 50 years old and above, your chances of having dry eyes are getting high.

BE aware, to protect your eyes from eye dryness, maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet and avoiding

smoking. Apply artificial tears that is preservative free to avoid eye damage.

AGING of our EYES

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a consequence of growing older. People in their 60's have been known to

experience debilitating symptoms. It is also the result of generally poor lifestyle - unhealthy diet, smoking,

exposure to artificial and natural UV rays, and the presence of free radicals all contribute to the stress of the

macula, so that they cause blood vessels under the optical nerve to burst.

The burst of blood blocks the central vision, which results in a blurry or blind spot in the middle of a patient's

field of vision. AMD is irreversible. It is treated in it's advanced stage with laser-surgery, photodynamic

therapy and anti-VEGF injections into the eye. However, you can slow down it's progression, if not lessen your

chances of getting it altogether.

BB aware, seeing an opthalmologist regularly after one reaches age 40 is highly recommended. Because AMD does not

happen overnight, traces of it can be spotted early enough and addressed before it worsens. Wearing sunglasses or a

wide rim hat reduces the risk of AMD and so does quitting smoking.

PARENTING

Most parents are often too preoccupied with working and earning to provide their children with the basic needs.

Unfortunately, because of work and it's demands, many would miss giving their young ones the needed love and care

through their physical meaningful presence and quality time. They need to realize that parenting is not only about

earning money and securing things which money can buy, but it is also about satisfying the psychological, social and

spiritual needs of the young.

BE aware, a fervent and faithful awareness of God's loving presence would make the work a truly formative and

fulfilling experience for the family, especially for the young members.

T E A R S

When words fail, tears flow. Tears have a language all their own, a tongue that needs no interpreter. Most often

they appear when our soul is overwhelmed with feelings that words can not describe.

One of the great drawbacks of our cold sophisticated society is it's reluctance to show tears. For some strange

reason, man feel that tears are a sign of weakness. . . and many adult feel that to cry is to be immature.

BE aware, rather than being ashamed or disappointed, the Lord takes note of our inner friction when hard times are

oiled by tears. He never forgets those crisis in our lives when tears were shed. In crying, you might lose a

little of your polished respectability, but you will have a lot more freedom - and a lot less pride.

PROBLEM SOLVING

M. Scott said: "it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has meaning." Problems are

the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failures. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom.

It is only of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually . . . It is through the pain of confronting and

resolving problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said: "those things that hurt, instruct".

Fearing the pain involved, attemp to avoid problems. This tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering

inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness.

BE aware, God's wisest saints are often people who endure pain rather than escape. Like Jesus who learned obedience

from the things which he suffered (Heb 5:8) not inspite of those things.

Q U I E T N E S S

Stillness is an essential part of our growing deeper as we grow older. We will not become men of God without the

pressence of solitude. Talk about pollution - there are 3 factors that disturb our peace daily:
Noise - music, news, talk, phones, traffic
Speed - deadlines, appointments
Activities - meetings, services, luncheons, clubs

Be aware, if you and I really treasure quietness, we will have to make time for it. When you feed it only the

"left overs" from the schedule, it always goes hungry. We need to slow down and quiet down and carve out time for

quietness, solitude, prayer, meditation and soul searching. As prophet Isaiah said: "and the work of the righteous

will be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. Then my people will live in

peaceful habitation. And in secured dwellings and in undisturbed resting places.

LISTENING

Samuel Butler said: "It takes 2 people to say a thing - a sayer and a sayee. The one is just as essential to any true saying as the other. In evangelism, the gospel must ultimately be shared but taking time to listen patiently and respond calmly is an essential part of the process. It is like listening s-l-o-w-l-y .

For illustration, in John 4 with Christ is the woman at the well. He could have blown her away with an endless barrage of verbal artillery. He did not. He genuinely listened when she spoke; He listened slowly. He read the lines of anxiety on her face and felt the weight of guilt in her heart as she talked. He peered deeply in the well of her soul.

Be aware, in listening, the most important thing is allowing room for silence while the other person is thinking and trying to get the words out. Wise is the listener who does not feel compelled to fill up the blank spaces with verbiage.

WEAKNESSES

Some folks go to great lengts to hide their humble origins. We often think we should mask the truth of our past

lest people think less of us - especially if our today is more respectable than our yesterday. But the truth is,

when we peel off our mask, others are usually not repelled; they are drawn closer to us. Great men and women are no

exception:
with Moses, it was murder
with Elijah, it was deep depression
with Peter, it was public denial
with Samson, it was recurring lust
with Thomas, it was cynical doubting
with Jacob, it was deception
with Rahab, it was prostitution
Be aware, let's admit it, their weaknesses keeping us all on the same level - recepients of GRACE. Even those who

are extolled and admired have weaknesses in their life too.

The CONQUEST of SELF

It is the grandest triumph that any man can achieve. It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect.

The more perfect we are, the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others. Never tell others what

has been said desparagingly of them. To be silent, to suffer to judge no one without actual necessity , and to

listen to the voice of God within us - this will be a continual prayer and a sacrifice of self. God hears with

imperfect beings even when they resist his goodness.

Be aware, it should be our principal care in blaming anyone to spare as much as possible the one in whom the fault

is found. Never say anything mortifying to your neighbor/brother.

VIPASSANA Meditation

aims at the highest spiritual goals of total liberation and full enlightenment. It's purpose is never simply to

cure physical disease. However, as a by product of mental purification, many psychosomatic diseases are eradicated.
In fact, Vipassana eliminates the three causes of all unhappiness namely:
1. craving
2. aversion
3. ignorance
Be aware, with continued practice, the meditation releases the tension developed in everyday life, openning the

knots tied by the old habbit of reacting in an unbalanced way to pleasant and unpleasant situations. People from

religious denominations have experienced the benefits of Vipassana meditation, and have found no comflict with their

profession of faith.

VIPASSANA Meditation for CLEANSING OF THE MIND

is one of India's most ancient meditation technique. It was discovered by Gotama the Buddha more than 2500 years

ago. Vipassana means - seeing things as they really are. It is the process of self-purification by self

observation. One begins by observing the natural breath to concentrate the mind. With sharpened awareness, one

proceeds to observe the changing nature of body and mind, and experiences the universal truths of impermanence,

suffering and egolessness. This truth realization by direct experience is the process of purification.

Be aware, the entire path (Dhamma) is a universal remedy for universal problems and has nothing to do with any

organized religion or sectarianism. For this reason, it can be practiced freely by everyone, at any time, in any

place, without conflict due to race, community or religion, and it will prove equally beneficial to one and all.

CHRISTIAN WORK ATTITUDE

Every act and every work of the believer, who in reality is a child of God, is essentially done in relation to the

Father's will. Any deed or job no matter how insignificant or how low in the scale of job titles has more than it's
commercial rate; it has an eternal value - eternal life-giving. A janitor, and an executive, have an equal value

and importance infront of the Father.

Be aware, a worker should understand that what really matters in the "company" or "work place" in the life of faith

is not the level or rank or position, but the amount and intensity of love with which we live and work - the amount

of love we show for the Father and for our brethren.

LINGZHI, GANODERMA, REISHI

Lingzhi, also known as Ganoderma or Reishi has been known to nourish and detoxify the body. For thousand of years,

people in China and Japan have traditionally used this mushroom as a potent natural remedy. Emperors drank

Be aware, this mushroom has been coined as the "auspicious herb" it's popularity influencing literature and the

arts.

Oatmeal and oat bran are rich in soluble fiber, a type of fiber which lowers the harmful cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) or LDL cholesterol without lowering the protective High Density Lipoprotein or HDL cholesterol

CONTROL YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE III of VII

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood in your arteries. It is commonly written as two number - i.e. 140/80. The higher the numbers, the harder it is for blood to flow. Normal blood pressure for adults is 120/80. When your blood pressure is constantly higher than the recommended level, you may develop high blood pressure or hypertension. If you have high blood pressure, your risk of having a heart attack or a stroke is higher. It can also cause your heart to become abnormally large, or the pumping action to become less effective over time.

Be aware, if you develop hypertension, it is necessary to control it or reduce it to lower the risk of problems in the future.

Be HEART SMART II of VII

The loose term "heart disease" usually describes coronary artery disease ( CAD ). If you develop CAD, the two arteries that feed oxygen-rich blood to your heart become too narrow in some places as a result reducing or entirely interrupting blood flow. CAD is linked to congestive heart failure (CHF) which occurs we ahen the heart can not pump enough blood. Be aware, shortness of breath, tiredness, and fluid accumulation in the body are signs of CHF.

UNDERSTANDING HEART DISEASE I of VII

Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in both men and women. Statistics shows nearly 7 out of 10 deaths are caused by heary attacks or some other complications of the heart like stroke and rheumatic heart disease.

TIPS in buying DIAMONDS

It is very important that when buying diamonds, look for the 4C's rather than the price. They determine the diamond's value.

CUT - a skillfull cut is what will unleash the fire and brilliance in a diamond. It refers to the various facets within a diamond should clearly not be confused with shape- such as round, marquise, oval, princess,etc..

COLOR - grading begins at D; the deeper into the alphabet one goes, the poorer the color.

CLARITY - refers to the presence of - or lack of - imperfections/impurities called inclusions. Clarity is graded on a scale ranging from flawless to imperfect.

CARAT WEIGHT - term used to measure a diamond weight not the size of diamond. The larger the diamond, the greater it's rarity, the greater it's value per carat as well.

Be aware, no 2 diamonds are ever alike. Each diamond is different from the other and that is why they say diamonds are forever because you can never get another like that.

P R A Y E R

Be aware, only the sheep hear God's voice but that does not discourage you. Listen more by knowing him

more in spirit and in truth. Listen:

When will you stop hurting and start loving?
when will you stop lying and start cleansing?
when will you stop getting and start giving?

and lastly,

when will you really start listening?

SUPER CENTENARIAN

Research had it that it is hypothetically possible to achieve a long life span perhaps even going as far as becoming 200 years old. The idea of longevity basically revolves around this fact: "AGING is a result when the cells in our bodies can not cope up and fails to reproduce newer cells. This inevitably leading to organ failures, disease and the like.

Using advances in biotechnology, we can manipulate the aging process using various specific techniques.

Mamipulated cells won't have a problem with regeneration by eliminating the diseases that come with aging, then a longer life span is not far fetched idea any longer.

Be aware of the following tips to become a super centenarian:

1. EXERCISE by achieving an active lifestyle is sufficient
2. Avoid STRESS by having a happy disposition. Learn to smile whatever the circumstance be.
3. Calorie RESTRICTION. a bit of fish and almost NO TO meat, eggs or dairy product for consumption.

ACNE an inflammatory disease

One of the primary and most effective way to control this sub-clinical (invisible to the eye)

Inflammation on a cellular level is through diet. The key to anti-inflammatory diet is that it has been designed to prevent a rapid rise in blood sugar. Different foods are converted to sugar at varying rates. When our blood sugar and insulin level rise, whether from a poor diet or from stress, we experience a serious increase in inflammatory chemicals at a cellular level.

Be aware, stress also precipitates acne by elevating levels of cortisol, a stress hormone and other

adrenal steroids can act as androgens (male hormones) and stimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands resulting in a flare-up of acne.

THREATS to HEALTHY, YOUNG looking SKIN

1. PRO-Inflammatory diet
2. EXCESSIVE exposure to the sun. Baking out in the hot sun at the beach or by the pool is very destructive to your skin and immune system
3. STRESS, causes the release of the hormone "cortisol" which is extremely toxic
4. SMOKING cigarettes/exposure to second hand smoke. when we exhale just one puff of cigar, over a trillion free radicals are produced in our lungs.
5. ALCOHOL alters blood flows to the skin and gives you unhealthy appearance
6. LACK OF SLEEP growth hormones or youth hormones is released during sleep
7. LACK OF EXERCISE

Be aware, exercise increases circulation and gives the skin a healthy and radiant glow.

Anti- Inflammatory Diet

To fight aging in skin and all organ systems, follow the anti-inflammatory diet. It consist of the following components:

High Quality PROTEIN. like that found in fish, shellfish, poultry and tofu

Low glycemic CARBOHYDRATES including colorful fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains such as oatmeal, legumes such as beans and lentils.

Healthy FATS such as those found in cold water fish, nuts, seeds and olive oil

8 - 10 glasses of pure sprinking water everyday

ANTIOXIDANT rich beverages such as green tea.

Be aware, these foods and beverages act as natural anti-inflammatories and help to maintain normal levels of insulin and blood sugar. The incomparable health and beauty benefits of this anti-inflammatory diet are visible in just 3 days.

Pro-Inflammatory Diet

Certain foods cause inflammation in our bodies at the cellular level, which greatly accelerates the aging process in all organs system including skin. This results in an increased risk of degenerative disease and inflexible, wrinkled, sagging, dull skin. Avoid foods that provide a "glycemic" response in the body, i.e. cause a rapid rise in blood sugar- this is the key to health, longevity, mental clarity, well-being and beautiful youthful skin.

Be aware, foods that are pro-inflammatory such as all forms of sugar, processed foods, pasta, breads, pastry, baked goods, and snack foods such as rice and corn cakes, chips, pretzels, etc. . . caused a highly destructive pro inflammatory response in our bodies.

Eating the wrong foods can make you age faster - foods that cause a rapid rise in blood sugar.

A W A K E N I N G

In moments of great change when one is in the process of leaving one state to go to another, the challenge is not to look back although the temptation to do so is great. To look back and ask the " what ifs" about one's decision too early in the journey is to become stuck -
like Lot's wife in Sodom and Gomorrah, immo bile and turned into a "pillar of salt". Scarry as it is, we must do it is the path to growth. as one writer said" God will not have his work made manifest by cowards."

This process of dying and awakening into something new requires a new mindset. The worst attitude to have is to leave one place and go to another only to expect to live the exact same old life one had, rejecting new things that will surely come along. It is a sure prescription for unhappiness.

BE AWARE, life is a cycle of birth, death, acquisition and loss,a dance marathon of opposites. Whenever we found ourselves it's opposite will manifest after a while if our life is to be completely lived. To awaken is to consciously accept what has died in us, to mourn it and move on to something where we can have a greater experience of being alive. Being awake allows us to choose being happy and free.

RECLAIMING your LIFE

Elizabeth Gilbert said:"we are the author of our life, our destiny lies in our hand" There is so much about fate that I can not control, but other things do fall under my jurisdiction. I can decide how i spend my time - i can choose how i am going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life, whether i will see them as curses or opportunities . Most of all, I can choose my thoughts.

To reclaim and master our life, Barb Doyle shares some essential keys on how we can take control and get most out of our life.
RELAX. Nothing can make you stress. It is how you think about something that causes you to feel stress. How you think creates how you feel. It is easier to control your thinking than to try to control outside experiences. Next time you feel yourself stressed out, picture yourself in a nature scene. Use all your sensess

BE AWARE, this is the first day and last day of your life. Most of us go around in life either controlled by the regrets of yesterday or by the fears of tomorrow. Our life is robbed by these 2 thieves. If today truly is the first day of your life, you would have no regrets. To have this kind of attitude, you have to give up any grudges that you have been holding on. If today is the last day of your life, your attitude would be that of contribution.

CLARITY

Clear messages starts with clear words. Clear words lead to clear action. In any communication, use plain languages, start with a punch line. Make sure your non-verbal cues do not contradict your words and adapt your style to the person and purpose.

Be aware that words alone never carry the complete message. Message come from context, relationship timing, tone of voice, what was said, what was not said and body language. All these things together comprise the total message that people "hear".

More on WATER, EXERCISE, GINKGO, GINSING

WATER.
If you are drinking less than 6 to 8 glasses a day, then you are "shrinking" your brain, dehydrating your skin, speeding up the aging process and damaging your immune system.

SUGAR.

EXERCISE.
a 30 minute aerobic exercise is enough to shake up your brain and improve memory. This is due to the increase in oxygen efficiency in the brain. This is enough to prevent stroke and heart disease.

Alcohol and Liver CIRRHOSIS

Alcohol when taken in excessive amounts may trigger the development of fatty degeneration of the liver leading first to liver cirrhosis and eventually to liver cancer.

The detrimental effect of alcohol and the degree of damage it causes is directly proportional to the concentration of alcohol drinks - beer 5%, wine 10%, sherry 15% and spirits 30% of alcohol. When an organ as sensitive as the liver is repeatedly bombarded with massive amounts of alcohol, the delicate liver cells first breakdown in the form of fatty degeneration, which then leads to fibrous scarring/cirrhosis.

Be aware, people who have cirrhosis sometimes do not have symptoms until lever damage is extensive. Therefore mortality is very high, as many cases are not diagnosed and treated at its early stage.

Karma, Soulmates, Happiness

The sacred law of the universe "like attracts like" The people who are around us, for good or ill, are with us because we have attracted them to us.

Everything we do comes back to us, nothing less and nothing more. "law of karma"

Secret of happiness by Buddha. "is not in having what you want, but in not wanting what you do not have.

If you lose somebody, let him go; if he comes back, he is yours, if he does not, he never was yours. The reason is that we never lose what we truly own.

Epictetus said: " The good or ill of man lies within his own will."

Be aware, God does not punish or reward us, we punish or reward ourselves, because we have been given absolute freedom of choice or free will by God.

ASHTANGA VINYASA YOGA

is the most artistic form of all yoga, the most fluid that its like a dance. It is a way of being. You become aware of your body, how your frame of mind affects the way you stretch or hold a pose.

Vinyasa , the art of breathing helps keep the mind focused on the moment. Breathing is calm and steady, and audible.

Be aware, it is breathing that stirs the body into motion, each breath in harmony with a series of asanas (posture). As the rhythm of the breath and body alerts the mind and soul, the body produces intense internal heat that detoxifies muscles and organs. Circulations improved, the body becomes light and strong, the mind finally learns to relax.

NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED YOUR LOVED ONES

Donnel Maxie said: "Today i want to encourage you not to take people for granted - interact with them. Life is an amazing thing that should always be treated as fragile as a new born baby with much care and honor as much as it deserves. If we fail to love them and share the joys of life, and help them through the pains and failures, then we are just that "failures"

I challenge you today not to hold back your love anymore. Here are key questions:

1. Ask yourself: what did i learn this person today? If you have a hard time answering, then go to step 2

2. Ask and find out more about your loved one - you have more years to know him/her.

Do something different - go somewhere, do something you have never done with that person.

OPEN your heart - telling someone an inner wish or dreams creates new bonds and strengtens old ones

DO something nice to them whenever you can - be open to your loved ones by telling them
how much you love them.

unhampered flow of nerve impulses that originate in the brain and spinal cord and then travel to
all parts of the body. Therapy begins with analyzing the patients spinal column for abnormal
alignments of the vertebrae. When such misalignments called subluxations, are located they are
corrected by manipulation to restore the normal flow of nerve impulses. Many chiropractors also
make recommendations about nutrition and exercise but they do not prescribe drugs or do surgery.

7 WRONG ROADS

SUGAR - devoid of fiber and nutrients, refined sugar are empty or naked calories. Because of
their caloric density, they are well suited to promote obesity.

REFINED FOOD - without fiber. Fiber is protecting us from certain cancers, stabilizing blood
sugar, controlling weight, and preventing gastrointestinal problems such as gallstones
hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and constipation

SALT - many people consume 2 to 4 teaspoons a day which is many times more than is actually
needed and contributes to high blood pressure, heart failure and kidney disease.

FAT - many people consume 36% - 40% of their daily calories as fat - too much our body can
handle causing blood vessels plug-up and coronary artery disease and stroke. A high fat
diet can cause overweight, diabetes and certain cancer.

PROTEINS - a diet heavy in meat, and animal products provides more protein, fat and cholesterol that the body can use. A diet containing less protein, less fat and cholesterol is
essential for improved health and longevity.

BEVERAGES - soda, pop, beer, coffee,tea and sweet drinks are loaded with calories yet lack fiber
which play havoc with blood sugar levels and sabotage weight control efforts. Drinking
water is best for health.

SNACKS - disrupt digestion and overburden the stomach and are a frequent cause of bloating and indigestion
