Kinesiology is a holistic approach to health that focuses on the body’s movement and muscle function. It uses muscle monitoring, also known as biofeedback, to identify imbalances that may be contributing to disease or discomfort. The goal is to detect and correct these imbalances, which can be related to stress, nutrition, or minor injuries or trauma.

The practice of kinesiology is rooted in chiropractic and applied kinesiology, and it incorporates principles from traditional Chinese medicine, such as the concept of chi energy. Techniques used in kinesiology may include acupressure, lymphatic massage, hypertonic muscle release, attention to reflex points, and nutritional advice.

Kinesiologists believe that by addressing unresolved stress reactions and promoting the body’s natural healing process, they can improve physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

However, it’s important to note that kinesiology is not used to diagnose disorders and should be complemented with conventional medical treatment when necessary.

So finding the right professional advice is always key!

Chi energy, known as Qi in Chinese and Prana in Indian traditions, is considered a vital life force that flows through all living beings. It’s believed to be the essence that animates the body and mind, providing health, vitality, and well-being.

In Chinese culture, Qi is a fundamental concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), martial arts, and Taoism. It’s thought to be the energy that flows through the body along pathways called meridians. Practices like acupuncture, tai chi, and qigong are designed to balance and enhance the flow of Qi for better health.

Indian tradition also holds Prana in high regard. It’s described in ancient texts like the Vedas and Upanishads as the primal force of life. Pranayama, a practice of breath control in yoga, is one way to cultivate Prana. It’s believed that by regulating the breath, one can influence the flow of Prana and thus improve physical and mental health.

Both Qi and Prana are seen as energies that can be harnessed for healing and maintaining balance within the body. They are also associated with spiritual practices aimed at achieving harmony with the universe.

Usui Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It’s based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things and that imbalances in this energy can lead to physical, emotional, or mental health issues. The healing process involves a practitioner channeling this energy into the recipient to promote balance and well-being⁶.

The benefits of Usui Reiki and Reiki healing in general include:

  • Relief from pain, anxiety, and fatigue: Reiki may help reduce these symptoms, which can be particularly beneficial for those undergoing medical treatments or experiencing stress¹.
  • Improvement in mood: Reiki treatments have been associated with improved mood and feelings of relaxation¹.
  • Enhanced quality of life: Patients have reported better sleep patterns, increased self-confidence, and reduced depression levels after Reiki sessions¹.
  • Support for the immune system: By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, Reiki may help stimulate the body’s natural healing processes³.
  • Pain relief: Some studies suggest that Reiki can be effective in managing pain, especially when used alongside conventional treatments¹.

It’s important to note that while many people report positive experiences with Reiki, scientific research on its effectiveness is still ongoing. However, it is widely used as a complementary therapy to support overall health and well-being.

Connecting with the Universe and your ancestors in your own way – either by prayers or meditation or other means is absolutely your own decision, and you might as well believe this all is complete non sense. The choice is yours …

Just trying to slow it down …

17 Jun 1953

Another historic day of 2 German States after WW2 and the uprising of the Bln people against Soviet Tanks!

Later same story in Hungary!

And Prague! Now in the Ukraine!

The Volksaufstand in East Berlin on June 17, 1953, was a significant uprising against the government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). It began with strikes by construction workers in East Berlin on June 16, protesting against work quotas during the Sovietization process. The next day, the demonstrations escalated into a widespread uprising involving over one million people across about 700 localities in the country.

The protesters demanded political and economic changes, including the resignation of the government, free elections, and the release of all political prisoners. The uprising was marked by a wave of strikes, mass demonstrations, and political protests. It was one of the largest revolutionary movements in Germany’s history and had a profound impact on the long-term development of the GDR.

The Soviet Union responded by sending troops to suppress the uprising, resulting in violent clashes and numerous casualties. The event is remembered as a pivotal moment in German history and is commemorated as Tag der Deutschen Einheit (Day of German Unity) in Germany.

Haus Europa

Heribert Prantl via SZ App

Dieses Europa hat so viele Mütter und Väter, so viele Dichter und Denker, die es geprägt haben: Perikles und Paulus, Calderon und Caravaggio, Erasmus und Luther; Franz von Assisi, Theresa von Avila und Hildegard von Bingen; Mozart und Marx; Dante, Dostojewski und Simone de Beauvoir; Leonardo da Vinci, Richard Löwenherz und Hannah Arendt. Der europäische Staat, so er noch entsteht, kommt also nicht aus dem Nichts, er kommt aus der Fülle; er ist, er wäre der Höhepunkt der europäischen Geschichte. „Machten wir eine Bilanz unseres geistigen Besitzes auf, so würde sich herausstellen, dass das meiste davon nicht unserem jeweiligen Vaterland, sondern dem gemeinsamen europäischen Fundus entstammt. Vier Fünftel unserer inneren Habe sind europäisches Gemeingut“ – so hat das der spanische Philosoph José Ortega y Gasset beschrieben. Das Europaparlament arbeitet auf diesem Fundament.

A Modern-Day Romeo and Juliet with a Digital Twist

1

“Maxton Hall” is a contemporary adaptation of the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of a prestigious private school. The series, which has captured the hearts of viewers with its first season, delves into the complexities of young love, class differences, and the pervasive influence of social media.

2

At its core, “Maxton Hall” is a reimagined script of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Ruby Bell and James Beaufort are the star-crossed lovers of this narrative, embodying the essence of Juliet and Romeo respectively. Their love story is a testament to the timeless nature of Shakespeare’s work, even as it is transposed onto the digital age’s canvas.

Families: Filthy Rich & Unhappy meets Poor & Happy

The series paints a vivid picture of the socioeconomic divide through the contrasting lives of its protagonists. James hails from wealth and privilege, while Ruby’s background is one of struggle and determination. This dichotomy is the heartbeat of the show, driving home the message that love does not discriminate, even when society does.

3

Hopelessly Romantic with Intelligent Dialogues

“Maxton Hall” shines in its portrayal of romance, not through grand gestures, but through the intelligent and heartfelt dialogues between its characters. The conversations are crafted with care, allowing the audience to feel the depth of the characters’ emotions and the weight of their words.

4

Social Media’s Role:

The series does not shy away from showcasing the influence of social media on the lives of its characters. It serves as both a catalyst for conflict and a mirror to the envy and gossip that plague their world. Yet, it also becomes a tool for connection, demonstrating the duality of the digital age.

5

Conclusion:

“Maxton Hall” is a compelling watch that successfully blends the old with the new. It is a story of love that is both hopelessly romantic and strikingly relevant, set in a world where social media is the omnipresent narrator. The series invites viewers to reflect on the nature of love, the barriers we erect, and the ties that bind us across the digital divide.


As a Teacher of German and English: Watch the series in class or classes watch at home in groups:

Read the Shakespeare Original

Watch the best Films Julia & Romeo

Or selected Scenes to be discussed in groups.

Ask classes to write a film script of the same quality, draft contents and characters and settings with the classes one by one in group work.

Make a film if you have these options.

Nachtgedanken zur EU Wahl:

Als SPD Wähler (Willi Brandt) und Entspannungsmensch habe ich immer die Kinder und Enkel der SPD gewählt: Jede Stimme grün war wichtig, damals…

Jetzt in QLD im Ruhestand bin ich Mitglied der sehr schwachen Grünen.

In der EU würde ich nicht mehr grün wählen, stattdessen BSW, warum liegt auf der Hand:

Macht korrumpiert … der Rest ist Schweigen.

Dass junge Leute in D jetzt AFD wählen?

Hmmmm … nicht gut, lieber nicht wählen!

Denn Links geht gar nicht außer Sahra Wagenknecht, und die Ampel versagt bekanntlich auf allen Kanälen!

Bleiben noch Volt und auch CDU/CSU … not my cup of tea, though …

Blood pudding, also known as black pudding, is a type of blood sausage that is a traditional delicacy in many parts of the world, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland⁶. It’s made from animal blood, typically pig’s blood, which acts as a binder for other ingredients such as oats or barley. This mixture is then encased and cooked, resulting in a rich, savory sausage that’s often served as part of a full breakfast⁷.

Cooking with blood is a practice that dates back centuries and is found in various cuisines globally. Blood can be used as a thickener for sauces, a filler in sausages, and even as a solid ingredient in dishes like blood tofu or blood pancakes¹. It’s known for its nutritional value, providing a source of iron and protein⁶.

Blood sausages are a diverse group of foods, with many regional variations. They can be made with different types of blood and fillers, and they’re enjoyed for their unique flavors and textures. Some common fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, cornmeal, onion, chestnuts, barley, oatmeal, and buckwheat¹³. In some cultures, sweet variants with sugar, honey, orange peel, and spices are also popular¹³.

The taste of blood pudding and blood sausages can be described as earthy and rich, with a distinct flavor that reflects their main ingredient. They are often enjoyed fried and can be a hearty addition to any meal¹⁴.

If you’re interested in trying your hand at making blood sausage or incorporating blood into your cooking, there are many recipes and variations to explore. It’s a unique ingredient that offers a taste of tradition and a connection to culinary history. Bon appétit! 🍴

Bug-Repelling Plants to Grow in Your Garden 

By Lee Park

We do our best to plant the flowers that attract bees and other local pollinators to our yards. But there are times we want to roll up the welcome mat and repel insects, especially mosquitoes. You can do this without using repellents containing chemical ingredients which kill the friendly bugs as well as the nuisances.

It’s not all about citronella​​

There are as many ways to foster natural pest control as there are reasons to repel insects like mosquitoes. These pests are the deadliest creatures on earth, killing about a million people a year. They harbor diseases like Malaria, dengue,West Nile virus (and there are no vaccines or medicines to prevent or treat this virus in people). In most cases, you need look no further than your local garden center. And feel free to think beyond citronella. You can fill your garden with other wonderful scents and colors that you’ll love, but mosquitoes will hate.There are as many ways to foster natural pest control as there are reasons to repel insects like mosquitoes. SHARE ON X

The Desirable Dozen

lavender

You’ll find dozens of flowers and plants that can populate your patio or garden space while keeping the mosquito population at bay. Lavender tops the list. It’s a natural bug repellent with a soothing smell (at least to us humans). The scent of lavender deadens a mosquito’s sense of smell, making it harder for you to become its target. Other plants that discourage mosquitoes and other pests from making their home in your yard? Marigolds, catnip, rosemary, and scented geraniums. Bee balm, mint, and sage can add to the wonderful aroma of your garden, but mosquitoes seem to hate them. And of course, there’s the old standby, citronella. You’ll find dozens of flowers and plants that can populate your patio or garden space while keeping the mosquito population at bay. Lavender tops the list. SHARE ON X

Not only do these plants make wonderful bug repellents, but many of these can also be harvested and steeped for Ikarian-inspired herbal teas.Not only do these plants make wonderful bug repellents, but many of these can also be harvested and steeped for Ikarian-inspired herbal teas. SHARE ON X

Essential oils pack a punch

citronella

Yes, you can burn a citronella-infused candle to keep bugs away, but there are so many other ways essential oils can keep your backyard bug-free. Freshen your patio cushions with a spritz made of tea tree oil, and clean your grill with lemon oil. Your guests will love the aroma (and the lack of flying intruders – they’re repelled by these scents). You can grill cuttings of thick citronella grass (just for a short time to release the bug-repelling oils). You can also spread a few citronella grass cuttings on walkways. Their natural oils will be released by foot traffic.

Other things to consider

bird bath

It’s not just about what you add to your garden when it comes to organic pest control. It’s what you take away. Regular mowing gets rid of places where pests like to hide. Get rid of sources of standing water where mosquitoes could lay eggs and any food or animal waste that could attract flies and other pests.

Water features are not the enemy

You can still enjoy backyard ponds, pools, and fountains or birdbaths without allowing them to become hosts to mosquito larvae. Stock small ponds with fish that eat the larvae, or aerate water features and use a pump to keep water moving. Mosquitoes only lay eggs in stagnant water. You can also chlorinate pools and hot tubs.  

Get outdoors

Heading outside is a proven stress-reliever. So invite your friends and take advantage of your outdoor space—minus mosquitoes and other pests. All it takes is a little planning and planting. 


Lee Park is a botanist who researches eco-friendly disease and pest control. While he enjoys studying the effects of bugs in his gardens, he wastes no time getting rid of rodents. 

Thank you and Chapeau Lee Park!

Blue

Sorry you’re feeling blue tonight. 🌙

It’s okay to have those moments. Sometimes, even the brightest days have their shadows. If you’d like, I can share a short poem to lift your spirits:

Whispers of the Night

In the quiet of the night,

When stars paint the sky with light,

Embrace the shadows, let them be,

For they, too, hold a mystery.

The moon, a gentle friend above,

Listens to your heartache, your love.

Its silver glow, a soothing balm,

Guides you through the darkness calm.

Remember, like the night, you'll find,

That even in sadness, there's a kind Of beauty—a quiet strength that grows,

A resilience that only darkness knows.

So let the blue hues softly fade,

As morning's warmth begins to cascade.

Hold on, my friend, for dawn awaits, With hope and promise at its gates.

——

You may wish to reach out … 🌟 ~ Use the Form, pls …

I will walk in the morning for about 10km and after this walk, I feel very good again and totally energized.

And now I just allow myself to listen to my Blues Records and Streaming and will slightly get tired enough for a long and healthy sleep, as Music Is The Language.

What is a Life without Music?

Best wishes from QLD kindly yours
