8 WAYS MEDITATION CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE By Kristine Crane for US News Shrimati Bhanu Narasimhan, a petite Indian woman wrapped in a bright fuchsia sari, has a soft voice but a big presence. She holds the rapt attention of some 100 people who have come to learn how to meditate at the Art of Living Center in the District of Columbia. The type of meditation she teaches is called Sahaj, Sanskrit for effortless. It’s a mantra-based meditation she advises doing twice a day for 20 minutes — before eating. “Mental hygiene,” Narasimhan calls it. Sahaj is just one type of meditation. Others are based on compassion, mindfulness, yoga and transcendentalism, among others. While their aims are different, they share common benefits. Here are eight of those. Meditation reduces stress. “Meditation is mind without agitation,” Narasimhan says. Stress creates agitation and is something most of us deal with on some level. And it’s increasing, given the rising use of anti-anxiety medications, notes Stanford University researcher Emma Seppälä. Meditation allows people to take charge of their own nervous system and emotions. “Studies have shown improved ability to [permanently] regulate emotions in the brain,” adds Seppälä, who is also the associate director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford. “It’s very empowering.” It improves concentration. “I’m more centered and focused in everything I do. I don’t find myself getting as distracted anymore,” says Sara Robinson of Indianapolis, who did the Sahaj course last February. The ER nurse and sky-diving instructor adds that multitasking is easier. At least one study has shown an improved ability to multitask, Seppälä says. “Meditation has been linked to a number of things that lead to increased ability to focus, memory … We’ve seen this at the level of the brain.” Greater concentration is related to the increased energy meditation provides. “It connects you with your real source of energy,” Narasimhan says. It encourages a healthy lifestyle. “I tend to want more things that are better for me,” Robinson says, adding that she eats more fresh foods and has cut out nearly all alcohol. She also stopped smoking. Susan Braden, who lives in Takoma Park, Maryland, and also did the Sahaj course, says the practice has made her apply the Hippocratic oath — “First, do no harm” — to herself. “You just want to put good things in your body,” she says. That means “closest to what’s natural. So if it doesn’t look like a tomato, I wouldn’t eat it.” Braden also gave up coffee, replacing it with tea. The practice increases self-awareness. Before Zaccai Free, a District of Columbia resident, began meditating in college two decades ago, he had a very short fuse – to the point, he says, of wanting to commit acts of violence. Meditation taught him to recognize his own anger and become more detached from it. It cleared his mind and calmed him down, he says. Mostly, “it made me more comfortable in my own skin,” adds Free, who does many types of meditation, including Sahaj, Agnihotra, laughter and walking meditations. “When you take more time to dive inside yourself, you are more comfortable showing who you are.”


It increases happiness. “Meditation puts you on the fast track to being happy,” says Ronnie Newman, director of research and health promotion for the Art of Living Foundation, the umbrella organization for the Sahaj meditation course. Studies have shown that brain signaling increases in the left side of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for positive emotions, while activity decreases in the right side, responsible for negative emotions, Newman says. The other benefits of meditation, including increased self-awareness and acceptance, also contribute to improved Meditation increases acceptance. Braden was a high-profile senior policy advisor in the State Department, constantly on the go to trips around the world, until seven years ago, when she was struck by multiple sclerosis. She turned to meditation, and her world view flipped. “I have a disease which really brings you back to yourself,” Braden says. “Meditation helps me accept that. You explore your inner self and realize that’s just as big as traveling to Burma.” For Braden, learning to meditate has been harder than learning Arabic. “It’s a lifetime job. But it changes how you feel life, and it’s made it more enjoyable for me,” she says. It slows aging. Studies show that meditation changes brain physiology to slow aging. “Cognition seems to be preserved in meditators,” says Sara Lazar, a researcher at Harvard University. Lazar adds that meditators also have more gray matter – literally, more brain cells. Lazar’s colleague, Elizabeth Hoge, did a study that showed that meditators also have longer telomeres, the caps on chromosomes indicative of biological age (rather than chronological). That meditation lengthens life “may be a bit of a stretch,” Hoge says. “But there is something about meditation that is associated with longer telomeres … [perhaps that] it reduces stress and its effects on the body.” The practice benefits cardiovascular and immune health. Meditation induces relaxation, which increases the compound nitric oxide that causes blood vessels to open up and subsequently, blood pressure to drop. One study, published in 2008 in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, showed that 40 of 60 high blood pressure patients who started meditating could stop taking their blood pressure medication. Meditation also improves immunity. “I hardly ever get sick anymore,” Robinson says. “I don’t think I’ve had a cold since I started this.”

Top 3 Benefits of Drinking Water from a Copper Vessel 1. Helps You Digest Copper helps kill bad bacteria and reduce inflammation. This makes water stored in copper vessels a great remedy for ulcers, indigestion, and infections. Copper also helps cleanse and detox your stomach, regulate the working of your liver and kidneys, and proper elimination of waste and ensures the absorption of nutrients from food. 2. Slows Down Aging Copper fights off free radicals, which cause fine lines and wrinkles. It does so with its very strong antioxidants and cell forming properties. Copper also helps in the production of new and healthy skin cells that replace old dying ones. 3. Improves Skin Health & Melanin Production Copper is the main component in producing melanin. Melanin speeds up wound healing and covers up scars. Apart from that copper also aids in the production of new cells that help replenish the top most layers of your skin. While melanin helps the body stay safe from sun damage, speeds up wound healing and covers up scars, the production of new cells is a boon for smooth, blemish-free and clear skin. How Do I Use It? According to Ayurveda, the best way to utilize your copper vessel is to store water in your copper vessel for at least eight hours. This will allow your copper vessel to positively charge the water. The copper gently leaches into the water and lends it all its positive properties. You should drink at least one cup every morning on an empty stomach. This will allow you to reap the full benefits of the copper water.


EATING A VAGINA CURES CANCER ACCORDING TO CANCER TREATMENT STUDIES By adminolip 06/02/2017 3124297 The experts have been using most of their time trying to find new solution to the problems that the society is facing right now. Especially when it comes to the diseases, they are constantly trying to find new ways that could be effective and efficient for all the people. Eating a vagina can save you from cancer Did you know that eating a girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private organ could save you from fatal diseases such as cancer and heart disease? According to the research that was made in the State University of New York, the most important meal that a man should take is eating a v@gina. The hormones such as the DHEA Hormones and Oxytocin are being produced whenever cunnilingus happens. These hormones are capable of preventing cancer to an individual. This act does not only satisfy the urges of man and woman but also helps improve the health condition of an individual. It is a way of enjoying the pleasure while having health benefits. So the next time that you doubt about going down on a woman, be sure to keep all of these things in your mind. This is not only for your safety but also for the pleasure of your body.


7 CHEAP & FUN FAMILY VACATION IDEAS Here are some of the best ways to score a memorable trip on the cheap:

1. Plan a Staycation

Whether you visit a historical site, national forest, or a few local city hangouts, by booking lodging where you live and sticking close to home, you can get the vacation experience without the expense of travel. Look for cheap attractions and tours, and ask your hotel whether they offer a discount for local residents. One of the best places to find staycation deals is through group deal websites such as LivingSocial, Travelzoo, and Groupon. Most of these sites offer deep discounts on everything from hotels to food and activities. Doing something out of the ordinary, even if it’s close to home, can help create a vacation-like atmosphere without requiring an extravagant trip. Whether you choose to go camping at a nearby campsite, or you stay overnight in the city to check out the opening of a new museum, you don’t need to drive or fly to find a vacation spot.

2. Get Active

If you think about it, most of the attractions and events you pay for on vacation are passive activities. It costs a lot of money to catch a baseball game, go to the movies, see a play, or wander around a theme park, and yet, these activities don’t always lend themselves to family bonding. That’s why I favor active itineraries instead. Not only does a hike through a national forest or a bike ride through town cost a lot less than show tickets, these types of activities give you a chance to talk and connect with your family. Some active vacation ideas include: Hiking - RaftinG - Ropes courses - Zipline courses - Cycling - Camping - Geocaching

3. Book Through Owners

Hotels can be expensive, and some don’t even offer that many amenities. The trick to getting the most bang for your buck is to look for lodging that offers more than just a bed and a bathroom. I love the site Airbnb. It provides owners of condominiums and vacation homes the ability to list their properties for a lot less than you would spend through a traditional hotel website. For instance, a full-service condo listed on Airbnb by its owner in Miami Beach, Florida costs $134 per night, while a comparable hotel room in the same area costs upwards of $267 per night. You can specify the size and amenities of the lodging you’re looking for, and in most cases, you can score extra perks, such as a working kitchen and on-site gym. I love being able to work with the property owner instead of a hotel. In fact, my friends and I take a yearly girl’s trip to Park City, Utah and use Airbnb to find lodgings large enough to accommodate 15 women. This type of flexibility makes it an excellent resource for bigger families or family reunions. Other sites, such as VRBO, HomeAway, and FlipKey, offer similar services, so compare options and prices before you book to make sure you’re getting the best deal. Finally, read renter reviews before you book with a property owner – you want to make sure the property lives up to its hype.

4. Package Up

While it may seem more cost-effective to search separately for the best deals on airfare, car rentals, and lodging, I’ve found that you can save big by booking a full package. Online travel sites, such as Travelocity, Expedia, and Orbitz, offer many options, but you might want to check with a travel agent for package deals too. Some travel agents can offer killer deals you can’t find online.


5. Book Through Club Stores

It’s an unusual way to book a vacation, but club stores such as Costco offer vacation-planning services with great deals on attraction tickets. For instance, a Disneyland vacation package booked for November that includes park passes and lodging at the Paradise Pier Hotel costs $2,603 whether you book through Disney or through Costco. However, Costco members get more for their money, receiving benefits like a character dining experience, a $20 Disney gift card, and other goodies. Even if you don’t have a Costco club membership, you can browse options on the Costco Travel website. If you find a great deal through Costco or another club store, it might be worth the cost of membership to score discounts on travel, even if it’s just for one trip.

6. Visit the Beach Less Traveled

Beach vacations are basically the Holy Grail of family vacations. Sand, sun, relaxation, and family time all add up to a stress-reducing, memory-making experience. However, staying on premium beach real estate is going to cost you, particularly if you set your sights on popular vacation destinations. That doesn’t mean you have to skip the beach altogether. The United States offers 88,633 miles of coastline to explore, so you should be able to find something more cost-effective. Instead of heading to pricey Miami or Southern California, consider the gulf shore of Alabama or the beaches in Galveston, Texas. Or, skip the pricey vacation in Orange County, California for the laid-back vibe of San Mateo County, California. Other beaches include the Oregon and Washington coastlines, or the East Coast between South Carolina and northern Florida. A beachfront hotel in San Diego in July costs about $234 per night, while a beachfront condo on the Oregon Coast at the same time is about $100 per night – that alone is significant savings. In addition to less expensive lodging, less-frequented beaches feature lower-cost food and activities. If you really want an insider’s opinion, ask friends, family, and acquaintances who live near the water about their favorite spots. Getting a local opinion helps you avoid some of the pricey tourist traps while providing you with an authentic local experience. If you’re far from any beach, lake vacations are another option. My family loves to vacation on Lake Powell in southern Utah. There’s an entrance fee of about $30, then camping on the shore is free. The other expenses include food and fuel – totaling about $400 for a week in the sun. Check out areas like Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin, Lake Tahoe in Nevada, the Finger Lakes region of New York, and Lake Havasu in Arizona.

7. Work (on a Ranch) for the Weekend

Believe it or not, you can find cheap vacations at working farms and dude ranches all over the country. While it’s definitely a seasonal activity, think about how much your kids would love learning about farm life, collecting eggs, taking care of animals, and even horseback riding. And, since you earn your keep while staying on a working farm, it’s usually pretty cost-effective. These hands-on experiences feature rustic lodgings – usually a cabin or a room with bunks – and also provide meals you share with other families visiting the farm, giving you the chance to enjoy camaraderie with other suburban families. The Flying L Guest Ranch located just outside of San Antonio, Texas charges about $90 per day for adults and $40 for kids and teens to experience an all-inclusive vacation featuring horseback riding, swimming, and even miniature golf. New York City-area families can find a quick escape at the Malibu Ranch in Milford, Pennsylvania. Located about 75 miles outside of New York, this ranch offers weekend packages for $500 per family. While this may sound pricey, food and accommodations are included, along with attractions like a guest rodeo, fishing, a shooting range, cattle drives, and campfires for four. It’s an excellent way to expose your kids to new experiences without breaking the bank. Keep in mind that not all dude ranches are cheap vacation options. Boutique-style ranches can be seriously expensive, so make sure you add up the costs of food, lodging, and activities before you commit.


Tow Down started rapping when he was in middle school, and went on to form the group Thugs of Another

Kind, who released their self-titled album in 1998 on D.I.M.E. Records. Branching into a solo career, he landed hard with his debut album, By Prescription Only, the single from which, “Country Rap Tune”, charted at radio and positioned him as an artist to watch. He followed up with Slowed N’ Throwed in 2001, and Chicken Fried Steak in 2002, both self-produced in The Den Recording Studio, a state-of-the-art room he built from the ground up with his brother and business partner, Bernard Theriot. The Den gained a reputation as a mecca for a host of independent Houston bands and rappers as well as many mainstream hip hop and rap artists on an international scale. His client list reads like a Billboard who’s-who, growing to include the likes of Paul Wall, Lil Wayne, UGK, Slim Thug, Mike Jones, Lil Flip, DJ Screw, H.A.W.K., Lil’ Keke, Willie D, Z-Ro and Beyoncé, among others. His tsunami-sized wave of popularity was just hitting its peak when he was busted for growing pot. While attending the 2010 MTV Music Awards, Tow Down’s house and headquarters was raided by federal agents. In one fell swoop, everything that they had built so far came crashing down. Like most everything else Tow Down does in life, his marijuana business was on a grand scale, and with a grow operation that was valued at over $10 million a year, he and his brother were looking at major time. He received a sentence of sixty-one months (just over five years) and his promising career seemed like it might be over. Never one to step back, even in the face of adversity, Tow Down took this as an opportunity to grow musically and help others in the process: while in prison he established a music program to help other inmates learn to play, write and record music, and by the time he was released, he had written enough new material to fill several albums. He jumped straight back into the studio, and the results are just about ready for the big reveal. 2016 is shaping up to be a year of rebirth for the prolific and talented artist/engineer/producer, and with a comeback of this magnitude, the world can’t help but take notice.

Traffic King


Artist: Wizdum Name: Marlon Douglas Taylor D.O.B.:06/08/1079 Hometown: Cumberland, Md. Years in Music: 17 Years The son of a mother who’s heart was filled with song, Wizdum, Marlon Douglas Taylor was born with music in his veins. Ever eager to expand his eclectic appetite for sounds, since a youth he has always appreciated a vast spectrum of artists and the music that they make. Prior to becoming involved with the industry himself in 1999, this former poet was raised on a variety of musical influences from Sam Cooke to Madonna, from New Edition to Elton John, from Natalie Cole to Jay-Z, even going as far back as Frank Sinatra to current hip-hop artists such as Jadakiss and Eminem. Raised by his step-grandfather after the tragic loss of both his mother and grandmother, Wizdum always proved to be a seeker of knowledge and a lover of music. It wasn’t until about the age of 19, after moving to the Midwest (Council Bluffs, Ia.) that a desire was formed to create music himself. Prophacy (Joe Phoenix) a great friend and local hip-hop artist one day gave the suggestion of turning his poetry into raps by reciting his words over popular instrumentals. From that day forth who could’ve known what would result. From performing shows at the YMCA to gracing the stages of theatres and shaking hands with industry heavy weights, music has been his career, more than a hobby since day one. Whether it be his start with Prophacy and other members of the clique Young-N-Bumpin or the 10 years spent in Maryland as a part of the group 3 Man Weave (Smash Hit Records, Dirren Bell, Radeif Wigfall, Lawrence Hester) Wizdum has given 300% to the development of his style, his writing ability, stage presence, promotional skills and all around presentation of himself as an artist. With 12 videos, 2 Albums with 1 on the way, 1 mixtape with 1 on the way, and a slew of singles sold nationwide he has reached listeners that number in the tens of thousands. Blessed with opportunities to open for such famous acts as Twista, Stevie Stone, Jadakiss, and more as well as numerous chances to meet with and perform for industry execs (Bad Boy Records, BMI Publishing, AAMG/Universal, Def Jam Recordings), he is still striving to perfect his craft and share it with any and all who will listen.

“The son of a mother who’s heart was filled with song, Wizdum“


Currently working on a 2 disc, 28 track album entitled “Long Time Coming” Wizdum has been putting in overtime to show that even 16 years later he is as relevant as ever. As a member of Pain Management Inc. (A locally organized team of independent artists and management working together to further the goal of being heard worldwide) and Co-Owner of promotional company Myndz Eye Entertainment he stays busy booking venues for himself, as well as nationally known artists. At 37 his grind, hustle, determination, motivation and sense of being is just as strong now as at 19. Ever on the go, he keeps taking advantage of every blessing set before him. Upcoming events include, Omaha, Ne., Killeen, Tx., Chicago, Il. and even a seat in Hollywood, at The Hollywood Music and Media Awards, as a guest nominee for his worldwide single “State of Attraction” Ft. Brandi Lee. With a positive attitude and forever willingness to learn Wizdum most definitely has what it takes to be a powerful musical influence not only locally or even nationally, but around the globe. Ever on the move, he just recently finished a mini 7 state US tour spanning over 10,000 miles. Beginning in Cleveland, Ohio, then heading to McAllen, Tx followed up by Killeen, Tx.

“LaGhe’s passion for what she does began with her mother eclectic love of music”


LAGHE

MUSIC

Omaha Nebraska’s brown eyed beauty, LaGhe, has been a positive self focused

force behind her own attention grippingly confident yet uniquely classic type of HipHop and R&B style. Cultivating and air of sheer interest and enthusiasm, LaGhe’s straight talk topics and sweet harmonic melodies have been helping to bust the padlock off many opportunities left and right. LaGhe’s focal point with her music and persona is to depict the overall “female strength” knowledgably, sensibly, and maturely. Taking her bold Midwest breezy style with her wherever she goes, this siren has been known to each and every professional that she has met to have something undeniably elongating with her career. LaGhe’s flowing melodies and slick approach to her tracks make her uniquely vivid amongst the sea of clones today. It is time and refinement that is aiding LaGhe in her journey towards reaching full potential in becoming a respected female entity amongst her peers. Knowing that being a respected humble figure whose talent and hustle initially speaks for itself can push open many envelops, so her main goal for 2017 is to prove that sponsorship, branding, and a distribution deal are things not unfathomable to obtain. This year has opened to LaGhe with the opportunity to open for the legendary Easy E’s youngest son, E3, in January in Houston, TX and then within a series of other shows in other states she had the privilege to open for his oldest son Lil Easy in Lincoln, NE in February. Since then LaGhe has been in and out of many shows in many states and topped a few online charts such as “Number One Music” site for areas such as Farrell, PA. As she is in earshot of more and more states across the US LaGhe has decided to take her time with the release of her new album “Facelift”, to be released late August. To help hype a healthy buzz about the up and coming album LaGhe will be producing men’s and women’s Tee’s and accessories along with releasing singles from the later album ”Facelift UNWRAPPED” which will host a plethoria of versatile lyricists, tantalizing vocals, and videos for the visual journey. The overall plan is to seduce the masses with a facelift that they can appreciate. LaGhe’s passion for what she does began with her mother eclectic love of music and her own love for expression through words. As time passed she became more fluid with with her writing and it seemed only natural that both loves be poured into a fusion that would be flooded with value over time. Although LaGhe lacked confidence in the past to center stage some great opportunities, LaGhe was always blessed with a gift that moved people to supply support and constructive critism just to see her climb and succeed. The pairing in 2007 with management group Lady Beast Management and in 2016 with Mindz Eye Entertainments star artist “Wizdum”, has strategically and professionally help LaGhe to boost her confidence, strengthen her vocals, and build a sturdy fan base. Over time LaGhe has been taken under the wing of a few different people and has been walked and sometimes pushed her to reach the precipice of her natural talent. LaGhe has always been the type of woman who positive people gravitate towards and that fact is what initially keeps the pitbulls at bay and great positions open to her. LaGhe has been allowing time for experience to mold her professional plans for the future. With the oncoming of modeling gigs (like being the face of the independently owned clothing store “Judge Not” ) and paid acting jobs (like a womans hotel safety video and an up and coming roll in an independent film with media company “Tuesday After Hours Media”), LaGhe never wants to be known for holding one skill alone so she is pushing her limits to be known for many forms of art right from the start. Even though she is very high on creativity and freedom, LaGhe believes that structure through humblness gives you building blocks that can have a profound effects on you, the people around you, and your career. For those reasons LaGhe has been known to give back to a few of her favorite charities such as “Love Strength Hope” and “Beat Makin Lab” giving 50% of her downloaded proceeds from songs such as “Watch Me” and “What To Do With It”. Always having a holistic and wholesome approach to life in general, it was never a surprise that one of her first professional philanthropic causes would come attached 50% of her profits from her first two most listener loved songs. With all of her trials and tribulations professionally and personally, LaGhe’s outlook towards the uncertain future has been and always will be on an optimistic yet still so realistic level. Right now in life is when LaGhe feels it is the right time to release the type of music that her new album “Facelift” has to offer and to push for what she knows is attainable. Coming in 2nd place at the Coast2Coast Live Event in Chicago last year has got LaGhe more than ready to prove her status, talent, and versatility with a new Coast2Coast event in her own hometown on March 20th 2017. LaGhe’s plan is to keep perfecting her craft, mesmerizing the masses, and spreading her unique sound from one coast to the other.


King Status Ent,is the Head Quarters and home of King Hearns,HitMan Hearns,Nice Guy,Lebanon don ,Kinglish Apparel,Royal

Tea and Grind For Mode. The biggest movement that came out of Louisiana since Aye Bay Bay. HitMan Hearns is the younger brother of King Hearns which together makes up the hottest duo out right now in the South called “Bruh”.Bruh” is two blood brothers that lived totally different lives but ended up on the same path. A college graduate and a survivor of a 10 year prison sentence in the feds. HitMan Hearns started his music career as far back as his freshmen year in High School where he headlined talent shows,Poetry Contest,and many other different school functions while his brother was away In Prison. After graduating college with a degree in Psychology in 2012 around the same time his brother King Hearns returned from Prison. He took a short hiatus and helped his brother get established in the music industry while he worked a full time job in mental health. HitMan was featured here and there on King Hearns mixtapes but was mainly in control over all his visuals and social media presence. His goal was to make sure that King Hearns got to where he needed to be as far as in the drivers seat of the movement that was discussed between them while he was incarcerated. 2015 came and HitMan moved to Dallas Texas where his brother had recently relocated. King Hearns was living in Dallas about a year and a half but was yet to run his campaign in the city. His buzz and campaign was still targeted at Louisiana and Atlanta. HitMan had began attending all of King Hearns studio sessions helping out with the creativity and perfecting of his craft. They ended up doing a freestyle of the song “Devil Is A Lie” by Rick Ross/Jay-z and released it via social media. The feedback was crazy and people couldn’t but imagine what a whole project would sound like from just the both of them together. It was only right,so they began recording a mixtape that ended up becoming a Album due to the depths and heights the record were going to. The chemistry was amazing. The energy and creativity together in the studio really turned into lyrical warfare. Before dropping on Feb. 12 2016,the brothers was undecided on the title,originally supposed to be entitled,”My Brothers Keeper”. Their team decided that it should be entitled “Bruh”. It made so much sense. Real blood brothers coming together on this level was unheard of. This Album has done more numbers than any other solo projects that King Hearns had released in the past. This is a prime example of Team Work Makes The Dream Work. “Bruh” is currently on Tour as we speak.
