Meditation

Meditation for beginners

Isn't a easy thing to start with, in this busy life we are overloaded with stress and anxiety on its high levels. which in-turn is cause of many health issues...

Even i tried to meditate for more than some months, but still i feel i can only be on for very less time.

The time you have to meditate is as below

Your age=minutes

if you are 25 years, try meditating for 25 mins in a day..

Some of the tips which helped me are as follow:-

• Initially start with 2 mins of meditation.... Yes, you heard it correctly just try to close your eyes for 2 mins and concentrate on your breathing.
• Do not change your breathing pattern, just observe your breathing.
• Initially you have so many thinking striking to your mind which tries to disturb your silence. be practical and accept it.
• Slowly increase the time of the practice, best time to perform this practice is morning 6 or evening 6.
• it isn't compulsory for this time, even before you go to bed,fr 10 mins you can try doing this.
• If you cant take silence, you can meditate by playing silent music, or even OM. you can get this in youtube as well.

Instead of so many anxiety medicines, it is very great if we can control our thoughts which will inturn reduce our stress and anxiety.

PS:- please avoid Mobile phones and other smart devices when trying for meditation!! better if you can sit in a dark room initially to get catch of silence.

Enjoy what ever you do this will help you to get rid of stress too.

DO let me know if this is helpful!! :)

TAN Removal Packs

TAN Removal Packs:-

Summer is almost on its heights, with out sunscreen it is not wise to even step out. but as we already know sunscreen just works for 2 to 3 hrs after applying.... if i have to go out for more than 2.... i have to carry face wash & sunscreen with me...

I personally do not like carrying so many things with me... so was thinking to share these tan removal packs with you... which is beneficial and useful.

1.) Every first step for any pack is use normal milk to cleanse you face thoroughly than using cleansing milk. this helps in cleansing and keeping the moisturizer as well.

2.)You can use Curd alternative days to get rid of tan, a very useful home remedy.

3.) Try this pack weekly once:-
Rice flour and milk..mix rice flour with milk and apply this on face leave it for 10 mins and rinse off.

Try these out instead of expensive tan packs of chemicals in parlous.

It just takes 20-30 mins of time and is healthy one, chemical free and less expensive....

Try them out.....Do et me know if this helped you:)

Easy Scrubs @ home!

Do you think to remove tan only tan removal packs have to be used? not really we can use home made scrubs to get rid of tan and dead skin!!

Makes 400ml (12oz)

1/2 cup olive oil*
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tbsp honey
a few drops of your choice of essential oil (optional)**

Put the sugar into a bowl and add the olive oil and honey. Work it all together until it is evenly combined. It will be like wet sand. If you want to add some essential oil (I used peppermint), add it a few drops at a time and stir it in and check if it smells how you want.

Put into an airtight jar, ideally with a wide mouth so you can scoop a bit out with your hands when you need it.

You Can prepare some scrubs @ home itself like:-

1.)    Take some cream which you have at home mix sugar with it and apply on face and scrub.

2.)    Green tea water(2 bags green tea) add sugar 1 sppon and honey 1 spoon to it and scrub

3.)    Coconut water, sugar and lime a gud scrub.

P.S:- Before scrub always clean your face with cleansing milk(or normal Milk) after scrub wipe off with luke warm water.
