Blue Fin

Presently, the European Union is debating whether to put the Blue Fin tuna on the Endangered Species list because it has reached roughly 15% historic levels of populations and countries are realizing that the decimation and the extinction in numerical terms is very possible for the Blue Fin tuna due to the incredible demand for sushi restaurants for Blue Fin tuna. The ocean [inaudible] and the Blue Fin tuna is actually a warm-blooded fish species. It’s unique and many people are inclined to eat and they end up going to sushi restaurants [inaudible] and thinking why are they not doing themselves a favor, but they’re also doing a great down to the earth and to the oceans by participating in this industry that is devastating to the ecological balance of the oceans and the food chain. Remember, of course, that we are all completely connected and so we don’t really want to disturb something so much, and this kind of hunting and this kind of predation and this kind of killing just so satiate countries like Japan and ourselves and all the western world’s new found appetite for sushi. So remember that the reason to eat fish is for essential fatty acids and there’s many other places to get essential fatty acids, not fish. Please support, call Congress, call anyone [inaudible] representing your senate to support putting Blue Fin tuna on the endangered species list.

Virtual negativity

New York Times reported yesterday, January 19th, that as amazed as researchers were who conducted this particular study, and when they conducted the same study last year, they thought that it was impossible that their numbers could ever increase in there have now discovered that … discussing its subject called How many hours a day children stand in some sort of portable electrical device or smart phone or computer or cell phone or TV or some kind of device and when these guys’ research found about a year and a half ago is that each child between ages of 6 and 14 spent 6 and a half hours a day on one of those devices, and they have suggested that time that impossible for them to do more than that because that was basically mostly the entire day. Well, this year’s results is that they actually now discovered that children spending, get this, virtually every waking moment of their life in front of some kind of video game, TV, DVD, computers, cell phone, PDA, whatever else is left that catches their attention on some kind of electromagnetic media. So, there’s no wonder why our children are obese, there’s no wonder why our children are depressed, no wonder our children can’t concentrate and their brains can’t function properly and they don’t know how to do anything, really, except to watch TV and play video games. They have never been taught how to meditate, how to concentrate of how to use their mind or how to use their mind in more creative ways and there’s a lot of reasons for that but we have to be careful with this trend and try to reverse it and try to make sure kids go outside and play outdoors and have a chance to do that and a chance to do other exercises like yoga, other things that get a kid outdoors away from the computer, away from the video games, into something that is actually helpful for them and their life and a help in a long term.

Lose 10 Pounds and Add Ten Years to your Life!

“Lose 10 Pounds and Add Ten Years to your Life!” That was the quote i heard on the radio advertisement as i drove home recently. And i started thinking how fascinating it was that it was legal to promote something in that way... with statements that were so unverifiable. And I then i thought a bit harder and figured that this one of the most brilliant campaigns i had ever heard. Those two benefits combined together! Lose weight and extend your life by 10 years... it is ideal and what everyone wants!

And then of course i realized that this is exactly what we deliver in our Yoga and Detox programming. Lose 10 Pounds and add 10 years to your life... that is exactly what we are doing. I know that it is impossible to quantify this kind of thing but i just found it ironic that i took offense to some little pill claiming such outlandish benefits... then laughed to myself as i realized that the Daily Yoga Practice, the Intelligent Eating, and the Meditation and Self Realization components to Fred Busch Power Yoga and Detox do just that. Lose weight, get healthier, get stronger, feel true wellbeing, and add years to your life with the Fred Busch Teacher Training, Detox Program, or Yoga classes at of the Yogashala’s in Miami or abroad.

Medical Maladies

New York Times today had an article saying holding doctors accountable for medical errors saying that as many as 98,000 people die every year just because they went into some hospital. So that mistakes made by doctors are killing 98,000 people every year and hospitals making hospitalization by itself is very risky enterprise. One of my favorite book is called Confessions of a Medical Heretic and in that book he explains that hospitals are like war zones and they are to be avoided at all cost. What today’s article speaks to is saying that instead of blaming the system, it’s time to make the doctors responsible for their own mistakes. It means that they have to get overburdened by insurance and legal claims and it doesn’t mean that they need to take responsibility for their own mistakes and be more aware and be less invasive and more preventive doctors who do realize that they are not healing people, that they are simply required to create the conditions for healing people and that the less medications, the less surgery and the less intrusiveness would be better. So that they stop making all these mistakes and killing innocent people who have no idea in what they’re getting into when they go into a hospital.

New Years Resolutions must start before New Year

New Years Resolutions MUST start before New Years! Or just start them today!
As we are blessed to begin a new year, it is important to realize that some very small and simple changes in your life will have profound and dramatic effect on your health and wellbeing. Eat a little smarter, exercise a bit more often, and learn to become the master of your mind... and watch and see how fulfilling life can be. In fact fulfillment is seen to be your true nature.

Begin the new Year with a resolute determination to exercise very day. That will begin the powerful positive feedback cycle whereby you will get stronger every day and your Will-Power will naturally increase and express itself in more intelligent choices throughout your life.

Daily exercise is one of the most dramatic changes you can make in your life. In short, exercising strengthens your body, burns excess calories and promotes good circulation in all of its flowing systems. It’s the first and most important step to getting healthier and happier and it’s really not so hard to pick up.

Virtually any type of physical activity is good for your body so if you are exercising at all you are off to a great start. However, certain exercise practices are infinitely more beneficial than others. The best exercise, the exercise you should be doing daily requires the following:

It is vigorous (assuming it is safe and the right pace for you and your body). It is the sustained, vigorous workout that exercises the heart. And as it strengthens the heart, it sends blood through the filter organs more rapidly cleansing and detoxifying it. Sustained vigorous activity can unburden us of previously un-eliminated waste and toxins. Because poisons are almost fully responsible for disease, lack of energy, and degeneration, the multitude of benefits that accrue go far beyond keeping us fit.

It involves the entire body. Every part of your body needs daily exercise. Unlike your car and your shoes and a lot of other things in our lives, our body improves as we use it. When it is underused it actually deteriorates. Hips that are underused now become brittle later and break later. Muscles that rarely engaged become flaccid, skin sags and systems become blocked. So the exercise you are doing everyday needs to engage the entire body. Strong biceps are great, a strong heart and bones to go with them are even better.

Like I said, virtually any type of exercise - assuming it is safe – is good for you but the exercise practice to which you will be introduced over the next few pages is great for you. The Power Yoga sequence that I teach is one of the best ways to attain all the critical components of an exercise I just described. One more thing: it can lead to spiritual enlightenment. I’m serious. Yoga involves an intense mental/spiritual element that is accessible to everyone who practices regularly. You will begin to notice it yourself as you practice but I will address this further later.

Why do I say happier? Because if any of the functions of the internal organs like digestion or excretion are impaired, the brain will also be impaired. The brain is the organ of the mind. An impaired brain equals depression. There is an inseparable relationship between the mind and the body. If there is an imbalance in one, they will both suffer. This is why the value of exercise can never be overemphasized. Exercise can decrease nervous tension as it vitalizes the body, balancing the mind-body dynamic. Vigorous activity literally eliminates the internal conditions that give rise to qualms, worries and stress.

In order to feel physically well, emotionally balanced and spiritually aligned, we MUST exercise everyday. That is just how it is. No animals in nature take a day off of being themselves.

Vigorous activity strengthens the nerves and steadies them so you are less likely to feel edginess or nervousness. The body secretes noradrenaline and norepinephrin after sustained vigorous activity. This provides a perpetual feeling of well being.

Almost everything we make in life deteriorates with use. Edges dull; paint chips; motors fail. It is a paradox, but what nature makes, bodies are the opposite to a degree. With use, they improve. With exercise, they perform longer and better. This is because movement is essential to good health. Like all organisms, our bodies are made up of free flowing systems. Life is literally flowing through us. Movement is an underlying principle of our digestive, our reproductive, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. It is required, as that is the design.

In the digestive system, the blocking of the flow is called constipation. It is very common and very unhealthy to be blocked. We need to get moving and get everything moving.

It amazes me how often blockages in our flowing systems are overlooked or their effects are blamed on some other ‘problem. In our society, many of us are more vigilant when it comes to maintaining the free flowing system in our cars than the ones in our bodies despite the fact that most of us are more prone to constipation than to a clogged fuel line. A blockage in any of your bodily systems is a serious health emergency. Keeping our systems flowing freely is essential to good health and it can be achieved through regular, vigorous exercise.

When you exercise, you also build strength. A comprehensive exercise program strengthens the entire body and encourages the coordination of various muscle groups. Rarely do we depend on just one muscle group for anything. Strength is more appropriately determined by how well our muscle groups work together.

Although exercise does help us “look good” regular exercise promotes good health in a deeper way too. Like other muscles, the heart can be strengthened or weakened depending on the degree to which it is used. The more blood your heart pumps to the aorta, the stronger and more efficient it gets. Your bones are the same way. Many of us perceive our bones as inactive and lifeless, but our skeletal system is as alive as any other part of your body. Exercising it builds bone strength and density. Even the nerves are strengthened with exercise, becoming steadier.
