How to Meditate in a Moment (video)

Onemomentmeditation.com, Wisdom Quarterly
Scripted by Martin Boroson, animated by Somnath Chatterjee

"If you can meditate and be mindful for just one minute then just repeat that 60 times, and you have meditated for an hour!" But don't get ahead of yourself. Start with a minute. The "secret" to meditation is to not think by focusing on one thing to the exclusion of everything else. Once settling, centering, and focusing becomes strong, then systematic mindfulness exercises can be taken up. They are of little value in producing their enlightening result (insight, vipassana) without a firm foundation in serenity and right-concentration (samma samadhi) to the point of access or absorption (jhana).

A Year of Makeup in a Day (video)

(nowness.com)

If "beauty is only skin deep," what is makeup? A way of knowing that there has been too much aging ("oxidative stress")? No one wants to see what makeup can't hide... unless we've cultivated beauty within as well. The Buddha taught that beauty now and beauty in the future is the result of karma -- willing, performing, and accumulating mental, verbal, and physical acts of loving kindness, compassion, joy in others' joy, impartiality, the Five Precepts, non-anger, and other merit. In Natural Beauty, Dutch artists Lernert and Sander apply a year's worth of makeup on Belgian supermodel Hannelore Knuts. More

Krisiloff Anti-Inflammatory Diet Revolution


Women with "manly" health problems from treatment
Many go without treatment when their medical problems involve stigmatized body parts, such as the bowels; journalist Katie Couric's on-air colon cancer screening in 2000 was an effort to combat that stigma surrounding the disease that killed her husband. But when symptoms are traditionally associated with "manliness," the shame is often rooted in a fear of being unfeminine or undesirable. [5 Reasons Being a Woman is Good For Your Health]

Milton Krisiloff, M.D. (Scribd.com)
The Prevention for Urinary Problems. Heartburn, Arthritis, & Potentially Prostate Cancer
For the last 30 years, Dr. Krisiloff has personally cared for and cured more than 10,000 patients -- men and women -- who suffer from chronic urological problems.

With a simple holistic approach that has no risk, he has seen cures in close to 90% of his patients who suffer from these problems.

Literally 90 million men and women in the United States experience these urinary problems at one time or another. Estimates are that one quarter of all visits to urologists annually are from these complaints.

Yet until now, university scientists and physicians will readily admit they have no known explanation for these problems, nor do they know how to effectively treat these problems.

With the Krisiloff Diet, a [natural and easy] cure is now possible for the problems of prostatitis, epididymitis, falsely elevated PSA blood tests, bed wetting in children, urgency incontinence in women, urethral syndrome (in Dr. Krisiloff’s opinion this is falsely diagnosed as interstitional cystitis), increased urination at night (which greatly disturbs sleep), and frequent urination in the day (greatly affecting quality of life). Unnecessary prostate surgery for men can be avoided and unnecessary surgery for women for urine incontinence can also be avoided.
  • What causes these symptoms? Alcohol, soda/coffee (caffeine), hot spices.

All of this can be accomplished at absolutely zero cost, with absolutely zero harm to the patient. And the results can be seen in as little as four to eight weeks.

With its simple holistic approach, the Krisiloff Diet could supplant all the expensive [allopathic] methods now used. It could become the standard initial treatment for so many common medical problems, often circumventing costly and ineffective traditional methods.


The savings for healthcare would be enormous -- close to $40 billion dollars by some estimates -- once it is realized [and admitted by doctors happy to use the most costly and therefore profitable therapies] that expensive medications and surgeries are not necessary.

Dr. Krisiloff has empitically discovered the “holy grail” explanation for inflammation in the body. The discovery is that caffeine, alcohol, and hot spices are responsible for causing chronic inflammation in the body.

They specifically lead to chronic urinary problems as well as other common medical condition such as gastroesophigeal reflux disease (GERD), arthritis, sinusitis, and headaches. There is even reason to believe that they are responsible for some cases of prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and colon and breast cancers. More
