She has guts!!

Posted on February 28 2010 by Ellad2

                                                  
Wow, she has guts!. That was what I thought when I read about a 16 years old girl (almost woman ) who is sailing single handed around the world with her pink lady.

Posted on February 27 2010 by Ellad2

Some surveys have shown that we have to forget about the nose, the size of the feet and the race. The shape of the penis is given away by the thumb.

If you were watching Sex&the City, than you probably remember the Samantha’s sentence, when she was leaving her boyfriend (I don’t remember the name, sorry…): “I love you, but I love myself more”. It is anthological sentence!

Correct breathing and simple meditation

Posted on February 15 2010 by Ellad2

When I was younger and when I didn’t have any experience about meditation, I was always thinking that meditation is something mysterious, difficult to study, esoteric… Also, I was always thinking that only “strange” (well, not strange, but different, that is a better word) people do meditation.
Then I was reading a lot about yoga and [...]

Improve your intuition

Posted on February 8 2010 by Ellad2

If your stomach, “says” something is wrong – it is certainly so. Signals sent by the body take seriously, because the “feeling” is actually the state of internal intelligence, inborn gift that is given to people to be able to discern what is good and what is bad. We “know” much more than we realize.
