How to Begin Your Meditation Practice for the New Year
As the end of the year approaches, many of us are thinking of New Year’s Resolutions or ways in which we can make our next year better. We look at things we want to change and things that we want to make better. We are always looking to the outside, to the world, when we should be looking inward. We should be looking to ourselves. One of the best things to help us find this new path is meditation.

JP SummersPublished 6 years ago in Longevity4 Ways on How to Relax
Most of us are out working our 9-5 and not giving any thought on what we are doing to our bodies when we are working ourselves a lot, especially when we're always on the go and never really sitting down.

I am going to share these tips with you so that hopefully both your body and mind can take it easy for a while.
Alix NicolePublished 6 years ago in LongevityHealthy Lunch Ideas for Work
Eating healthy has always and will always be associated as more of a privilege for the financially wealthy, oftentimes something that takes too long to prepare, and may not even taste as good as the other stuff. In actuality, most people don't know how to food shop healthily, or don't own any clean eating cookbooks, but would rather spend the extra dollar at a fast food restaurant, which will only kill your stomach in the long run.
5 Problems I Never Expected in My Thirties
We all know I suffer from P.P.S. (Peter Pan Syndrome) but even so, I have never denied the inevitable. The fact that as time goes on and I grow older, everything changes. Not just my skin and body but decisions, beliefs, and desires, too. Don't get me wrong, years ago I remember hearing the age 34 and thinking, EW that's old, like Monica Gellar old, but I honestly thought my active life and youthful attitude would keep me young forever, or at least longer than other people. I didn't expect at this age to not be able to get out of bed without a groan and moan from a herniated disc. I also would have laughed in your face if you told me that I would be worried about crows feet and laugh lines. I thought that crap happened at 50, not 34! Yet here I am, Googling Groupon Botox deals and doing modified gym routines so I don't aggravate my lower back. Now that I think about it, maybe it was my active life and youthful attitude that caused half of these issues. Perhaps, I had too much fun and all my years of wide smiles and loud laughter have been too much for my face to handle, and maybe the years spent dancing till dawn wore my body down before it should have. Regardless of the cause, for some issues it’s too late or not without a hefty price tag. So just go on without me because I might as well get myself a walker and adult diaper now.
Jus L'amorePublished 6 years ago in LongevityMy First Steps to Making a Healthy Life
I started with Young Living Essential Oils in September of 2017. I haven't worked with any other kind of essential oils before. Each of the oils that come within the kit smell fantastic and like what they are supposed to. Their Premium Starter Kit comes with eleven different essential oils. They give you five from their Vitality Line, which you can ingest, and they are Copaiba, Digize, Lemon, Peppermint, and Thieves. The other six are Frankincense, Lavender, Panaway, Purification, R.C. and Stress Away. Digize, Thieves, Panaway, Purification, R.C., and Stress Away are all blends that Young Living has made from other oils. Young Living is the only essential oil company that owns many of their own fields. Their mantra is "From Seed to Seal." Which means that they have the purist form of the essential oil starting from the seed going to the science and then ending with you at the seal.
Tatiana FunkhouserPublished 6 years ago in LongevityThe Day I Thought I Needed to Shave My Head
It was a cold-ish November day, about a week after my mom’s birthday (I remember because we had to go to my cousin’s for a late birthday dinner for my mom that evening). My sister and my brother-in-law had decided that they needed to step out to go Christmas shopping for their kids at the mall. I needed a haircut so I figured I would tag along and go get a trim. I knew the hairdresser and he knew how I liked my hair, pin straight, and square.

Loredana EgriPublished 6 years ago in LongevityWhat Exactly Happens in a Kidney Transplant Surgery?
Your kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each located at the opposite side of your abdominal region. Like every other organ, your kidneys are in charge of elimination of waste products from our body. Waste products are toxic to your system and are very harmful if not eliminated in time. Our kidneys filter the blood to remove these unnecessary substances from our body and discard it out of our system.

Alina GallupePublished 7 years ago in LongevityHow to Use Meditation to Treat Anxiety and Stress
Meditation can seem daunting to those who are unfamiliar with the practice, and often people believe that there is no way they can possibly clear their mind for long enough to achieve any benefit. We often visualise meditation as the Buddhist monks sitting with their hands upturned on their crossed legs, chanting 'Um' repeatedly. Of course, this image is correct for some methods of meditation practice, but this is not the image you should associate with meditating.
