I was chatting with some friends over dinner, attempting to explain the basic principles of the Alexander Technique. I spoke a little about the importance Alexander teachers attach to having a free neck so that the head can easily balance on top of the spine. If a person s neck is tense, it tends to upset that head balance, causing harmful repercussions throughout the entire body. Releasing that tension is basic to releasing those harmful effects. Nirvana in your neck. said Nancy, one of my friends. I d never heard it put that way before, but it nicely captures an important aspect of the Alexander Technique. Matthias Alexander, the developer of what today is called the Alexander Technique, was certainly not the first person to talk about the importance of the neck. The Bible is full of references to stiff-necks: Exodus 32, verses 9, 10: The Lord said to Moses, I see this is a stiff...

It might take a little coffee or probably a few rounds of beer or any other booze you could get your hands on when it comes to relaxing after a hard day s work. Well, yeah I m guilty about that one as well, unless I m caught dead wearing a lampshade over my head after a few rounds of vodka half-naked. Okay, bad example and I apologize to everyone reading this after getting nightmares about me in that state of drunken stupor. Just don t ask how it happened, please. But what s really interesting is that how do people go through the usual part of life when faced with vein-popping stress. I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the good things and it actually works. Is there room for the intellectual side of people who can actually smell the roses-in-a-can while on the move. It kind of had me thinking that there really must be something in this mind-over-matter thing. Humor...

HEPA filters were originally designed around the time of World War II to keep radioactive particles out of the air and out of the human respiratory system. Today the HEPA filter is considered top of the heap when it comes to efficiency, as it filters just under 100 of all 0.3 micron particles smaller than the size of most bacteria .

Does this scenario seem familiar. If you re a working Mom, I can promise that it is a familiar scene. So how do you make healthy food choices, when you only have fifteen minutes to prepare your meals. Well, the first thing you should realize is that quite often, healthy choices do not necessarily equate to two hour meals.
