To feel good inside the heart is the key to stay happy, well and good with a sound health. And it gives a sense of self confidence. Let us all feel good inside our heart.

Here are some few tips that I used to practice to Feel Good.

1. One has to have a positive mind and realise that one's thoughts and attitude creates one's feelings.

2. Regular breakfast - Nutritious food improves one's mood, boosts memory and immunity.

5. Spend times in silence.

6. Make friends, make someone feel good.

7. Learn to recognise and handle stress.

8. Take breaks/holidays.

9. Self-appreciation - reward your acheivements.

10. Accept responsibilities for your health - be regualr with health checkups, modify lifestyle as advised by the professionals.

11. Smile - a happy face has a positive effect in forming and maintaining relationships.

No one can live for more than a few minutes without breathing, yet how many of us are aware of the importance of proper breathing ? We need to breathe slowly and deeply. Then the body cells work in unision and bring back harmony and health to the system. Here are three breathing techniques to the system. One should practice all of them everyday as many times as one can. But, minimum one should do 11 times each of these techniques to be able to feel the benefits. If one is doing after meal there should be a gap of two hours. Otherwise, one can finish the technique and immediately sit for food.

Yogic Breathing (the complete breath)

This breathing exercise uses the lower, middle and upper part of the respiratory muscles. Start with abdominal breathing, followed by thoraric breathing and finally clavicle breathing. Reverse the order when you exhale

And if you are also looking for something natural then you can log on to this blog. Apart from that, the blog write reviews about other blogs and it's really a good thing to do. 

The owner has also given some personal accounts and specially one post related to his three year old son Hammad is really funny. It's nice to have gone through it.

I am also a patient affected by Amyotrphic Lateral Schlerosis. I was diagnosed of it when I was in my early twenties. It's almost about three years since then. I had been searching almost everyday for something hopeful regarding the Motor neuron Defect. 

Yesterday, one of my dearset friend,very much concerned about me, send me a mail. You can log on to www.tcmtreatment.com to read the same. When I read it, tears all of a sudden rolled down from my eyes. Now, I can think about having a normal life again. In a statement written by Dr. Zhu Ming, Vice President of Huaihua Red Cross Hospital, they gave their chinese method of treatment upon treating various chronic and difficult health problems including ALS which is considered to be one of the most difficult disease to be cured. Western medicine has almost given up on treating such a difficult disease except for offering Rilutek tablets which seem to be of no help.

From the western medicine viewpoint, the cause of ALS is unknown. The patient may lose the muscle and strength of the four limbs and then the boby step by step. In 3 to 5 years the pateint may not be able to walk even and may have to take up to wheelchair. 

The international TCM ( Traditional chinese medicine ) service team now has approximately sixty working staff, including medical professors, doctors, acupuncturists, translators, nurses, guards, office clerks, etc. Frankly, since their international service started from the end of 2005, in the first year, they had about ten ALS patients, most of them did not see any improvement. However, the first year practice brings about good experience.The major treatment methods are drinking Chinese herbal tea, medical massage and acupuncture. From October 2006 to April 2007, their clinical statistics reveals that they had 14 patients from USA, Canada, Israel, Sweden, Algeria, Czech, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Yugoslavia, Portugal and China. Their ages range from 30 to 65 years old, their treatment periods range from one month to four months. The results indicate that 6 patients had very obvious improvement, 5 patients had some improvement, and 3 patients had no improvement.

The true expereince of some of the patients have been given in their website with videos. Log on to it to find out more. I assure you, you will feel better.

All the best to all my friends who have been with ALS like me.
