Rejuvenating Pricks

………..today I did acupunture for the first time……….. at Rumah Shakti Bhakti Mulia, I did not know that acupuncture in Indonesia is treated so seriously that it is a part of the main hospital treatments. When I spoke to the doctor on the phone I thought I was going to her office/clinic till I reached this hospital !!! The doctor, a very pleasant lady in her mid or late forties, asked me if i had any health problems, i asked her to check my pulse and she said None. I told her I just wanted to try acupuncture from an academic point of view and see how it works and what it does ?

She told me a lot of a lot of people also come for loosing weight and for maintaining youthfulness and freshness in the face....wheras people also come for medical treatments after stroke and paralysis .

So to start with she recommended me to do it on the face, I said ok ……she put two needle on the point between my thumb and index finger and then two on the sides of my knee and some needles on my face….i think 7-8 and then she connected the ones on the hand and leg to some machine where a very minor electrical charge passed through it….i just felt very minor tingling…and then nothing…the whole process lasted for some 20 minute and she said I must complete a course of 10 for best results……..

While I was lying down with needles pinched into me …the doctor very patiently and pleasantly answered all my questions …she said acupuncture is very effective, especially when it comes to health maintenance….in loosing weight also it helps in increasing inches more than weight……she said it is done for medical purposes also for stroke, heart problem, facial paralysis and so on…

I asked her if Totok is more effective or Acupuncture, she said the principal used in both which is the points are the same, in totok its pressure and in acupuncture its needles………..

I guess – I will complete the 10 sessions !!!

My New I POT

...…yes you read it right, its I Pot and not I Pod and I bought it this weekend. It makes anti oxidant water for me and it is portable!!! I guess I got lulled into buying it as – I was fresh from reading The Tao of Detox – an eye opening book and very simple book on detox but it definitely made me wiser. My I POT cost 700,000 rupiah ( 70 USD) , well lets see what it does for me. Sometimes I think I go overboard, but anyways its an experiment.. ...and yesterday itself i had 2 litres of anti-oxidant water !!!

What is anti –oxidant water? It is water enriched with active hydrogen and minerals.

iPot, the brochure says is capable of transforming ordinary water into Anti Oxidant water, known for its many health benefits namely neutralizing free radicals, preventing increase in body acidity (acidosis), increasing body immunity and lowering ORP.
One of the most widespread causes of illness is acidosis or toxemia - an accumulation of more acid in the body than it can effectively process and this results in all kinds of diseases and health problems.

Human blood stays in a very narrow pH range around 7.35 - 7.45. Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. If blood pH moves too much below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the patient dies. The ideal pH balance for blood is 7.4A healthy blood pH without cancer has acid / alkaline balance almost equal. Actually a healthy body is slightly alkaline measuring approximately 7.4. This ideal blood 7.4 pH measurement means it is just slightly more alkaline than acid. Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements.

Loosing weight - Clinique Suisse way

………..today I went to the Clinique Suisse, the second time after I did my Colon cleansing and spoke to this Doctor Catherine about Weight Management and diet…..i really need to loose weight and everyone knows its not easy to do it only by diet and exercise. I also asked her a lot of questions about slimming pills as so many of my friends eat those pills and loose weight so fast…but everytime I want to take a pill something stops me…..and I feel what if it damages some system in my body or harms me in any way.. so I stay away from it ...I also asked her if taking pills affects the body or any other organs adversely or not ….i asked her about the diet plan and schedule that they have……

Clinique Suisse has an Anti aging programme that uses monitor diet, exercise, pills, massage and then maybe liposuction or injections that draw out fat( this is optional and costs 1000 sing dollars) ….. all very expensive ..not for me….However she gave me a diet schedule and exercise schedule...i checked with her about pills - because they also give pills ....

With some pills people get palpitations why does that happen and she explained to me why ….its because the pills increase the energy in the body……but I am not using that energy…so the heart starts working faster….sometimes the pills also affect the thyroid as the metabolic rate of the body increases thereby affecting the thyroid functioning…secondly I am an O type so more prone to thyroid problem than anyone else.

……I also asked her about the chinese pills that help you loose weight magically and she told me that in some pills – the slimming component( a chemical that harms the thyroid in high dosage) maybe in the higher dosage than recommended and it depends on the permissible amount of this chemical. She said its very important to check the ingredients in any medicine before taking it.

Secondly, when you are taking external aids, its always good to drink lots of water and take laxatives so that the chemicals are flushed out of the body and do not make a toxic residue there.

Thirdly, its good to exercise to use that excess energy and do massage, totok or body wrapping for toning the loose skin after loosing weight.

So ....now i have a plan .... my tailormade personal plan that starts from today................Target is 5 kgs per Month at least in July....

Amethyst Saturday

................I bought Amethysts this saturday.... for the very first time i found such rich and beautiful Amethysts in all forms- pendants, braclets and crystal ....there was this particular piece which really spoke to me .......a beautiful pendant.....i do not know why but the rich purple colour seemed to be satisfying some deep colour hunger in me...about Amethysts they say .... it is one of the best to use for meditation as it is also the stone of crown chakra. It is at the crown chakra that the forces of mind and body are merged with divine energy. Maybe i have reached that level, maybe i need some extra push and attunement........

The colour of meditation and enlightenment violet is the predominant colour of the crown chakra along with white. This chakra goversn the cerebral cortex, skin and the pineal gland. Violet opens up a new world of mysticism and spirituality and brings psychic manifestations for those who dwell into the depth of this colour. It enables one to become emotionally stronger and denotes spiritual opening and boundless cosmic energy. It is recommended for attunement to healing forces and you can recharge your own energy holding an amethyst over the crown chakra. It is supposed to be the stone for the crown chakra nadha s powerful vibrations of love, balance, healing and harmony.

After cleansing with salt water overnight and charging with prayers i put it a bowl and put it on my stone gallery, it looks beautiful and i am wearing my Amethyst bracelet.......

Totok Aura at Dean Kenanga

.......My expereince with TotokWajah and Totok Tubuh at Dean Kenanga which is the signature treatment and is labelled Totok Aura was the first of its kind. .....what fasciniated me was the aura part and since i have always been so interested invarious kinds of healing and treatment therapies....i was facinated that someone understood and practiced it here....

Actually what happens is ....everytime we do some therapeutic treatment as our physical body gets cleansed so does our spiritual body....and like i have said in " Why Wellness "................these treatments affect us at the subtle level by increasing and balancing the chi, removing energy blockages and are like regular maintenance jobs.......

......Abiasa, dian's husband told me that a lot of people have been cured of a lot of chronic problems....women who did not have children, people have lost about 11 kgs in 3 months time and lots of lumps in the breasts have disappeared....and with toxins removed from the body, balance restored, hormonal balance and alignment of the meridians.....

Totok is Acupressure and Totok wajah is facial acupressure - it improves blood circulation, balances hormonal metabolism, eases tension and stress and reduced wrinkles and firms the facial skin......it also reduces oil on the facial skin, minimises myopia ( near sighted eye problem) and sinusitis. helps in easing sleep problems, relieves headaches, migraine and vertigo......and makes the facial skin brighter and helps one look younger......

Totok Tubuh is the Body acupressure and it improves blood circulation, improves body metabolism, provides relaxation to body muscles due to tension, stress and fatigue, reduces stress, relieves pain due to rheumatism, back pain and bone sore, reduces excess body fat, minimises insomnia and improves the quality of sleep.........

..........i am surely going to try the body totok for loosing weight for which one needs to do at least 12 sesssions ( spread over a frequency of 2 to 7 days) and one also needs to monitor diet for this......
