Meditation, Learn How

LEARN TO MEDITATE

Because it is a subtle and specialized technique, meditation is best learned from a qualified instructor; it is not as easy to learn how to meditate correctly from a book. We will have a qualified instructor to teach patients how to meditate. One of the reasons that it is so important to meditate is that silence is the "first place of happiness." Silence is where we get our burst of inspiration, our tender feelings of compassion and empathy, as well as, our sense of love. These are all delicate emotions and the chaotic roar of me "internal dialogue," easily drowns them out. When you discover the silence in your mind, you no longer have to pay attention to all those random images that trigger worry, anger and pain. This is a meditative technique for reaching your inner silence that you can learn right now. These techniques are basically physiological. They take advantages of the natural silence that exists in the mind body system when it is in a relaxed state.

 When you are ready to begin, sit quietly holding at your hands lightly at your side or in your lap. Now, with your eyes closed, start to breathe lightly and easily. Let your attention easily follow your breathing. Feel your breath entering your nostrils and flowing down into your lungs. Do not inhale deeply or hold your breath, just breathe normally. When you exhale, let your attention follow the air up out through the lungs and softly through the nostrils.

 Nothing should be forced. The breath you're taking should move easily and gently. Your attention is following the course of your breathing, like leaves rustling in a gentle wind through the treetops. As your breathing gets a bit shallower and lighter, just let it happen. If you start to feel short of breath, do not worry. This means that you need a little more air and deep stresses are being released through your easy breathing. Be aware, you might also be forcing your breathing to be lighter than it needs and wants to be. Try to find the rate of breathing at which your body feels most comfortable....

 When you are comfortable with this effortless process, you can add the sound "so hum” to the procedure. Silently think the word "so" on each inhale and "hum" on each exhale.

 Continue this exercise for two to five minutes, just closing your eyes and focusing your mind on an easy, natural rate of breathing, silently repeating "so hum" with each cycle of your breath.

What is happening with this exercise? You probably noticed that just by paying attention to your breathing, you sank deeper and deeper into relaxation. And as you did so, your mind naturally became quieter. Did you sense that? If so, you probably experienced a few glimpses of complete silence, which you would not have noticed without it being pointed out to you. If you had looked for silence, it may not have appeared. Did you feel that there were periods when you lost track of time? This is a good indication that you were getting very close to the goal.

Most people experience much fainter thoughts than usual during meditation. This is another good sign of progress towards mastering this technique.

As you gain experience with meditation, you will begin to feel the reappearance of a youthful energy and vitality, which are being released from a deeper level of the nervous system. This is a very profound change and the real "fountain of youth."

Although meditation has been wrapped in an aura of mysticism for many centuries, it has been shown to be an extremely practical and "unmystical" process of quieting the mind. It is the surest way to open a chan

Mesotherapy

MESOTHERAPY

Mesotherapy is a medical specialty which involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceutical agents and vitamins into the skin to treat a variety of conditions. Mesotherapy is effective for the treatment of cellulite, weight loss, fat spot reduction, body sculpting and rejuvenation, lifting and tightening of the skin.

All medicines used in Mesotherapy are FDA-approved for their use. These medicines melt the fat beneath the skin and shrink the fat cells in the scarpus fascia layer. The fat dissolves and, as occurs when fat is broken down during typical weight loss is carried through the bloodstream and excreted by kidneys and bowel.

Mesotherapy for Cellulite:
Cellulite is an accumulation of fat, fluid, and toxins trapped in a hardened network of connective tissue fibers in the Mesoderm layer. The fat cells inflate, causing a rippling and puckering of the skin, commonly referred to as orange peel skin. Lymphatic and venous circulation is poor in these areas. Mesotherapy is used to cause an increase in venous and lymphatic flow, as well as the elimination of fat and dimpling in the area. In four weeks, a patient’s skin appears significantly smoother. Most patients lose anywhere from two to four inches where their cellulite is treated.

Mesotherapy for Overall Weight Loss:
Mesotherapy results are measured in inches. Because fat is melted under the skin, about one pound of fat per week is lost (equal to four sticks of butter!). The Mesotherapy treatment can be applied to arms, waist, hips, back, and legs. A typical patient can lose up to two dress sizes with these treatments. Patients have lost up to four inches on their waist, hips and thighs.

Mesotherapy for Spot Weight Reduction:
Mesotherapy is a painless alternative to liposuction. Fat and cellulite are eliminated from targeted sites using the same techniques as above. Unlike liposuction, only the fat (not the fat cells) is removed. After ten sessions, patients can lose two to six inches in their saddle bags, hips, thighs, waist, love handles, back fat and chin when medicine is placed in those areas. Mesotherapy is not used to reduce fat in breast tissue or fatty tumors.

Liposuction versus Mesotherapy

Liposuction Mesotherapy
* Surgical Procedure * Non-invasive Procedure
* Removes Fat Cells * Removes Fat From Fat Cells
* Cannot Be Used Where There is Cellulite * Used Wherever There Is Cellulite
* Down Time (2 Weeks) * No Down Time
* Wear Restrictive Garments Afterwards For Weeks * Wear Loose Clothing AfterTreatment
* Weight Gain Back In Abnormal Places * Weight Gain Back Where It Was Lost
* Significant Bruising and Pain * Minimal Bruising and Pain

Mesotherapy for Aging Skin:
Mesotherapy is a safe and natural alternative to traditional cosmetic procedures particularly when recovery time and side effects are of concern. The process delivers vitamins, minerals and amino acids directly into the skin to nourish, rejuvenate and promote collagen and elastin production and to stimulate metabolism. This is important because as skin ages circulation decreases. The resulting decrease in the flow of blood and nutrients makes it more difficult for the body to flush out metabolic products which facilitates premature aging and appearance to the skin. Patients commonly describe their skin as looking rested, glowing and firmer.
