• Salt to taste

Footnote: Learn the secret of Salsa
At its basic, salsa contains pureed tomatoes, chili, onions. Leaving everything law will result in a salsa with a bright, refreshing taste. If you cook the salsa, you will trade in the fresh taste for a deeper, sweeter one.
O Eternal and Infinite Cosmos may the magic wand of my meditation touch all sounds and melt them into the One Cosmic Sound of Aum.

A cub of the Divine Lion, somehow I found myself confined in a sheepfold of frailties and limitations. Fear-filled, living 
long with sheep, day after day I bleated. I forget my affrighting bellow that banishes all enemy sorrows.
Swimming is fun for those who can barely swim, and one of the safest forms of exercising for those who can reasonably
swim – irrespective of age and fitness level. Some serious fitness enthusiasts effectively use swimming for stretching and cool down after grueling weight training session.
Is swimming hitherto unexplored alternative healing therapy? Does swimming really heal anxiety, stress, high blood pressure, sores, aches and pains? Can swimming be evolved into meditative exercise for mind control and spiritual ascension?
High blood pressure, stress, anxiety, nervousness, depression, sleep disorders are bane of the Generation Y. These disorders more often than not lead to loss of vitality and potency that can shatter hard earned self esteem and confidence. For a high intensity aerobic or anaerobic workout, one needs to have a relatively calm mental disposition – for those who are emotionally or psychologically stressed out, it’s best to choose between low-moderate intensity workouts.

According to Harvard research scientist Dr. Daniel Lieberman, et al, we are born to run. 
It’s absolutely true that we are all born to run, but the responsibility for remaining a runner for our lifetime rests completely on our shoulders, from childhood through adulthood. As children, most of us spent a fair amount of time running, not really to get anywhere in particular, but because it felt good to move fast and play and jump and chase our friends across the playground, or kick a soccer ball across a field. When we were kids we were much freer in our movement, much looser in our bodies and more relaxed overall. Running came easy to us and we didn’t have to “try” to do it. It was as simple and easy to do as taking a breath or a drink of water, but as kids we didn’t know (or need to know) what we were doing.

Passion is the fuel of greatness. No one ever achieved anything without passion. It is the inferno of intense desire to succeed that drives one to action. Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor and five-time winner of the Tour de France, is passion personified. Read the rest of this entry »
