The Feng Shui is used to relieve stress

Feng Shui is an art that has been practiced in the orient for thousands of years.
Feng Shui is used to balance and harmonize your surroundings, while also bringing peace, health and good fortune Feng Shui means "wind and water" in Chinese. In the Chinese culture, wind and water are symbols of health and good fortune. It's based on the belief that the world around us is filled with energy (chi).

The Chi of the world around you could actually make your kingdom flourish or fall. Boosting your Chi and living in harmony with the world's energy around you alleviates stress and brings peace to you, your home and the people in it.

Here are a few tips you can use right now to start relieving stress and experiencing a more well balanced life with Feng Shui:

1. Decorate with nature. Decorate the surroundings inside your home with aspects of nature to bring yourself peace and relaxation. Feng Shui uses things like running water, fresh flowers and plants to relieve stress and create a soothing environment. Only use fresh flowers and keep them healthy. Wilted flowers and plants represent tension.
2. Adjust your lighting. An important part of Feng Shui is the way your room is lit. For an optimum feeling of peace and comfort, as well as a romantic mood, all rooms in your home should be very well lit.
3. Use colors to create different moods. In Feng Shui, colors represent different emotions. Use the power of color to create a flow of positive emotions within yourself. Choose the colors of your room carefully according to the principles of Feng Shui to create the mood of your choice in your home. * Purple represents spiritual awareness. * Blue is used to create a soothing, relaxing atmosphere. * Red enhances energy.
4. Use scents to relax. Aromatherapy is often practiced alongside Feng Shui and complements it nicely. Though the use of aromatherapy, you can easily enhance your mood or pull yourself out of a bad one. *Choosing the right aroma for the right room is important. Certain scents promote peace and tranquility, while others incease energy and felp you to get pepped up for the tasks you face. Using the proper aroma will remove the negative energy from your presence.
5. Arrange your furniture and fixtures to support your success. The arrangement of your furniture and the things around you is a large part of Fenh Shui. Even the things you have hanging on your walls can make a big difference in your productivity, relaxation and feelings of security.

Vegetarianism

Definition

A vegetarian diet is a meal plan that contains little or no animal products.
Types of vegetarian diets include:
Vegan: Diet consists of only foods of plant origin.
Lacto-vegetarian: Diet consists of plant foods plus some or all dairy products.
Lacto-ovovegetarian: Diet consists of plant foods, dairy products, and eggs.
Semi- or partial vegetarian: Diet consists of plant foods and may include chicken or fish, dairy products, and eggs. It does not include red meat.

Alternative Names
Lacto-ovovegetarian; Semi-vegetarian; Partial vegetarian; Vegan; Lacto-vegetarian

Function

A person may choose to follow a vegetarian diet for a variety of reasons, including religious, moral or political beliefs, economics, or the desire to eat more healthy foods.
The American Dietetic Association states that a well-planned vegetarian diet can deliver good nutrition. Dietary recommendations vary with the type of vegetarian diet. For children and adolescents these diets require special planning, because it may be difficult to obtain all the nutrients required for growth and development.
Nutrients that may be lacking in a vegetarian's diet include:
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D
Riboflavin
Zinc
Iron
Protein

Protein is necessary for good health. There are two types of protein: complete and incomplete. Complete proteins contain adequate amounts of the essential substances (amino acids) needed for health. They are found in meats, milk, fish, soy, and eggs. Incomplete proteins contain all of the essential amino acids, but not enough of them.
You do not have to eat animal products to get complete proteins in your diet. You can mix two incomplete proteins or an incomplete protein with a complete protein to get the proper amount. Some combinations are milk and cereal, peanut butter and bread, beans and rice, beans and corn tortillas, and macaroni and cheese.

MARTIAL ARTS

When I was little I liked the martial arts. I always liked to watch martial arts movies. when watching movies I said to myself as I wish to learn this discipline and that day came and I lived this adventure.
When I was young I had the opportunity to practice Kung Fu. I really liked and enjoyed when I practice but I married and had to leave my practice because I had to come to Australia.

My favorites actors of martial arts are: Jakie Chan, Bruce Lee and Steven Segal.

Jakie Chan

Chan Kong Sang (April 7, 1954), better know as Jackie Chan, Sing Lung in Cantonese and is a martial artist, singer, actor, acrobat, director, screenwrite and film produce in China.

It is one the most recognized worlwide in the martial art film, best known for his charisma, his acrobatic fighting style, improvised use of any object within reach as a weapon and his scenes of high risk. In his career as an actor has starred in more than one hundred films.
Jakie Chan is the father of the martial arts comedy films. Jakie, an idol in China and some from abroad.

His parents were very poor, so they had to borrow money from friends to pay the bill orange hospital after the birth of their son. They worked in the french Embassy, his father as a cook and his mother as a housekeeper. Since childhood, he was taught Kung fu, as they felr thar learning martial arts help to strengthen the character of Jakie Chan.

When Jackie Chan was seven, Charles his father, he worked as a chef in the United States Embassy in Australia, estimated that Jackie Chan would be better for staying in Hong Kong and learn a profession and enrelled him in the Peking Opera where he lived for the next 10 years of his life. He ruled with an iron discipline that had no beginning or end, was instructed in the arts of dance, acting, music and Kung Fu, where he was able to hold up to 19 hours of exercise in this rigorous discipline and because it is as can enjoy their stunts in many films.

His first roles were twice as other actors. In the late 70s, dared Chan also serve as writer, director and producer, which went on to have more control over the outcome of many of his films. The Chinese, led by himself in 1980, set the tone of his later films: an effective mix of comedy, action and martial arts. From Hong Kong, Jackie Chan was gradually conquering the European and Asian audiences with titles such as Pirates on the seas of China, The supercamorristas invincible weapons. But the American market will resist ... Until in 1996 broke the U.S. box office with Die Hard, an adventure he confronted a gang of thugs from the Bronx. The success was repeated two years later with the police film Rush Hour, and Chan went on to become the winningest Asian actor in Hollywood.

Jackie Chan is considered today as a martial arts master and his most fervent fans know him as the king of Kung Fu. It is a UNICEF ambassador, and also has his own charitable organization, helped by people from around the world, and of course their fans, I send food, clothing and money (Jackie Chan's own wardrobe that will give away Agencies travel) for every year when Christmas comes, give large amounts of donations and charity.
