Right Nutrition - it's simple

If anyone will ask me what is the most important period in a person's life, I will repy without hesitation: childhood. It is during childhood time that the basic notions about the right attitude towards life, towards the surroundings, toward self are formed; basic habits surface that affect health.

Speaking of health, I not only mean the absense of cough or cold because health has a much broader sence.

Take a car for example. If all mechanisms are intact and are well maintained, if we constantly monitor the condition that the suspension is in and regularly change oil and fill the gas tank with good quality petrol, then the car will run smoothly without giving the owner any hard time. The same goes for our organism. If the internal organs are working cohesively, muscle system is harmoniously developed, the joints have enough mobility, and the body receives the nutrients it needs, only then can we talk about health. Every parent wants to see their child cheerful, lively and carefree happy. How can this be achieved?

 


Truth

Little yin asked the master:

Teacher-Yang, is there any Truth?

- The truth is only in that which you're asking - replied Yang.

Little yin was taken aback:

- Teacher, then the truth is fleeting and therefore we can say that it is not?

Wise Yang grinned, thumbed one bead over and as if expecting this queston his whole life, replied:

- Truth - it is a road and the road is infinite. And that, which you understand as the Truth, little Yin – is just a cozy tent on the side of this road.

Little yin admiringly listen to the teacher. Answers, which he hoped to obtain, have lost their relevance.

Master's words were more, than answers.

Infinity

Wise Yang said:

-Knowledge sets a person free.

Little Yin asked:

-Is it true that a lot of knowledge can bring a lot of grief?

Wise Yang replied:

- So they say, when they put on a good face during a bad game.

Little yin asked:

-Is the Path of Knowledge - infinite?

Wise Yang answered:

- Knowledge has no borders, but only a free man can walk this Path.

Two Ways

-There are two ways - said Wise Yang. - Path of Knowledge and the Way of Suffering.

-But how to distinguish these paths? - asked the Little yin.

Walking on the Path of Knowledge is easy and pleasant, walking on the Path of Suffering - painful, - replied the Wise Yang.

On the Path of Knowledge you are cheerful and healthy, while on the Path of Suffering you are exhausted. And when you're exhausted, you need to be comforted.

Yin and Yang

Without a doubt, the symbol, associated with East, which embodies its mystery and inconceivability is well known to everybody ... However, is this ancient symbol as incomprehensible as it is thought to be? Let's try to understand the magic of black and white circle. Long ago have the Chinese noticed that the world - is not a chaotic conglomeration of objects and phenomena, but a combination of pairs opposing each other concepts: night and day, heaven and earth, full and empty, motion and rest, and etc.

Roots of Kung Fu

Roots of Kung Fu go well into the time immemorial. The earliest traces can be found, perhaps even in the primitive era. And it is quite certain that during the Zhou Dynasty (XI - III centuries. BC) in China, in addition to ritual combat dances, existed jiaoli [a kind of wrestling], which, along with archery and the art of chariot riding, was a major part of the general military exercises.

Nei Gu in a Hua Shan mountain

Hua Shan is a very special place for every practicioner Taoist. Mentor Zhang Fen Nei used to tell Nei that he will have to spend five days inside a cave hollowed out in the granite slope, meditating in complete solitude and darkness. This practice is required in order to learn to feel the energy flow within, as part of events, taking place in the world.

Little Nei and the Lunar Rider

Long, long ago, when the time was measured in chishenyah, equal to two familiar to us hours, in a peasant village at the foot of Chinese mountains Sunshan lived Nei, who went by - Little Nei . He was already ten years of age, but since both his parents died three years ago, he almost didn't get any bigger and now was no taller then two bundles of firewood, which was collected by the neighbor boys in the woods. When all his peers were playing in the street, dividing themselves into robbers and the Imperial soldiers guarding the convoy, he could only watch the game from the window, feeling sorry that he would never get to play with everyone else, but they would shower him with jeers for his weakness and short stature. His old grandmother tried to persuade him to leave the house but it was like flagging a dead horse, he flatly refused, remembering past wrongdoings inflicted on him by evil boys ...
