took my first shot of wheatgrass since the hot flashes...they havent been so bad this week..ive been taking vitamin e as well as doing the things in the previous post...my knees have begun to aches some days especially going up steep steps..and slightly in my shoulder (although that could have been sped up by heavy shoulder bags which ive gone to the roll backpacks). im determined tigger to sort this thing out not only the hot flashes but also the knee situation..i too think of a quality older age as i have always been independent and want to stay that way for as long as i can. ive been he ...

I was just wondering..has anybody experienced a rise in blood pressure from drinking 1 oz of pure wheatgrass daily? ive always been pretty much 120/80 but i notice im getting intense hot flashes (im in the beginning of menopause) and my blood pressure has been between 150/90 and 131/86. Last 2 days i have backed off..if anyone has any insight on this i would appreciate it.

The things you said were true...I dont think of it as dumbing
down to westerners..Just understanding some things...For instance
(possibly due to being a black person) I have issues with the
guru student relationship..It only goes so far...i dont see the teacher as an infalible person. just a person who has something to share...maybe thats why people are shocked when it comes to light sometimes that the guru is a bit more human then they thought (of course to me its okay because i tend not to put folks on a pedastal.) Of course a teacher is good to get insight into the asanas but then ...

hi...you can call me p if you like...
yes i agree that bikram and lots of others take the spirituality out of yoga..but perhaps they think most westerners arent spiritually laid out like that...I mean the outfits...the designer mats..(i know you saw alot of that at Life ) but ive come to the conclusion that if thats where they come in at..fine.
maybe just maybe they will investigate deeper. [End]

hi
i too am a bookworm and have most of the ones you have on your list. I guess my favorites are light on yoga and light on pranayama and the one by geeta iyengar for women. Do you have any thing by Bikram? I find the aditional heat thing intresting since i dont sweat very easily..I guess i like iyengar best because of the use of props and the attention to alignment...Ashtanga is the most challenging for me..I also attend a yin yoga class sometimes. the holding of the asanas challenges my concentration and my edge...Whats your favorite asana? lately for me its been downward dog,chair and ...

Might I have a problem with Candida Yeast?
You can try this simple test to find out.
First thing in the morning, before you put ANYTHING in your mouth, fill a clear glass with room temperature Bottled Water.
Work up a bit of saliva, then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water every 15 minutes or so for up to one hour.
If you have a potential problem, you will see strings (like legs) traveling down into the water from the saliva floating on the top, or ”cloudy” saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass, or cloudy specks will seem to be suspended in the wa ...

Hi Tracy
Couple of days ago i stumbled accross mayan astrology on this
forum and i found (what i understood of it)it intresting and wanted to learn more to incorporate it when im trying to interpret
whats goin on in my life and the lives of my loved ones and friends. I was the white lunar world bridger that asked you for an interp. I kind of read around and saw that one key word is to
relinguish control...hmm.. im a scorp leo ris virg moon water dragon. So i guess that word pops up often lol

thanks for the reply..i was thinking along the same lines...the ginsing will be easy to get him to take..the fasting...well harder but not impossible..should i bring it up that there is a issue? See i think men get more upset about it than women..i dont want to seem sympathetic i want to seem more empathetic...i think sometimes its natures way of making men see things in a less physical way...i think in general women wouldnt mind working thru an issue such as this but they dont know how to broach the subject without coming up against denial...it must be hard being a man sometimes(lol) [End]
