People have been dreaming of eternal life ever since they realized their mortality. That is why they endowed their gods with immortality, which they maintained either with the help of an elixir, or by taking water from the source of eternal youth, or by eating rejuvenating apples.
Be that as it may, humanity is still looking for a "magic" pill that gives, if not eternal life, then at least a very long one.
Search for immortality
The first who began to look for an opportunity to live happily ever after were the Sumerians. This is stated in the most ancient epics known on Earth about Gilgamesh. When the protagonist of the epic was struck by the death of his friend, he decided that he did not want such a fate, and went in search of the flower of immortality.
Every nation on the planet has its own legends about daredevils who found the secret of eternal youth and became like gods. For example, in the epic of the ancient Hindus "Mahabharata" is the juice of an unknown tree, which gives a person the opportunity to live 10,000 years.
Traditions about "living" water exist among many peoples, including the ancient Slavs, who "placed"a mysterious source on the unknown island of Buyan in the middle of the ocean. The inhabitants of the islands, on the contrary, send daredevils to a distant mainland, where rivers of youth flow.
Since the search for eternal youth has been going on for more than 2000 years, it means that there is some grain of truth in all these myths and legends. Today, most often a conversation about this is associated with Tibetan monks, who allegedly found and sacredly guard the secret of their longevity.
Tibetan secrets
Tibet remains mysterious until today. Closed to the world, Tibetan monks are still very reluctant to share their knowledge with others.
Their medicine is available only to the elite, who have reached a certain level of enlightenment and purification of consciousness. No wonder the average life expectancy of these people is 90-100 years.
The source of eternal youth of the Tibetan monks is not any stream with rejuvenating water, but is a human body in which all 3 main elements in the body are harmoniously developed:
- wind is the process of breathing and lung function, the element responsible for the psychological state of a person, his intellectual level and the activity of all processes in the body;
- bile is a symbol of fire, responsible for the energy that fills the body and affects digestion;
- mucus is the element of water and earth, which balance all the internal systems of the body.
Thus, the monks realized that the combination of a calm spirit with a he althy image can be the cause of eternal youthlife and proper nutrition. To achieve this, they have developed their own system of longevity for thousands of years.
Tibetan longevity system
Because energy in the vital organs declines with age, the monks have developed recipes to help avoid this.
Yin energy is associated with cold, which causes diseases such as hypertension, cancer, heart attack, atherosclerosis, and many others. To counter this, increase the yang energy in the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen with pancreas.
Recipes for eternal youth for the internal organs are very simple, but if applied, the aging of the body can be stopped indefinitely:
- pour 50g of rice and 25g of sesame seeds into a glass of water and cook for 15 minutes, consume once a day for a week;
- grind 100 g of St. John's wort, immortelle, birch buds and chamomile, brew 1 tbsp before going to bed. a spoonful of the mixture in half a liter of water, let it brew, strain through a cloth and drink half with a teaspoon of honey in the evening, and the rest 20 minutes before breakfast;
- 400 g of peeled garlic pass through the garlic press, pour over the juice of 24 lemons, take after meals 1 teaspoon of the mixture, diluted in a glass of water and previously stirred in a vessel.
Tibetan monks have many more secret methods of rejuvenation, which they carefully keep from outsiders. These recipes were found in one of the monasteries, scratched on clay tablets in the 6th century BC. e.
Modern approach toconcept of immortality
Today, rejuvenation, eternal youth is an entire industry, which includes cosmetic companies, plastic surgery, subconscious technologies and supplement manufacturers.
Today, not the heroes of legends and not alchemists are in search of immortality, but scientists with microscopes, psychologists with various techniques of working with the subconscious and the he althy food industry. This is logical, because, having substantiated all the achievements of mankind over the past thousand years, scientists have come to the conclusion that longevity rests on "three pillars":
- physical activity;
- spiritual harmony;
- proper nutrition.
So that any inhabitant of the planet can choose for himself the best practices in all three areas to either significantly slow down aging or restore the body to its former youth.
Obstacles to Longevity
As practice shows, only death can prevent eternal youth, since even age and the presence of diseases are not a hindrance.
After in medicine, for ease of treatment, the patient was "divided" into organs, thus narrowly focused medical speci alties appeared, the mortality rate in the world increased significantly. Today, medicine is beginning to return to what was known to the shamans in the ancient tribes. Man is an interconnected spiritual, physical and subconscious system. When all three indicators are at a high level of development, a person lives for a long time, and decrepitude of the body begins verylate.
The first "whale of longevity"
Physical activity everyone chooses based on their own preferences, but the cardio-vascular system is of the greatest importance for longevity. It is her doctors recommend to maintain, for which it is necessary to practice walking or swimming in the summer and skiing in the winter.
Modern gyms have cardio machines, and experienced trainers can create an individual exercise program based on the age, weight and fitness of the client.
Care for the condition of the joints should not be neglected. In order to keep them flexible and mobile for as long as possible, experts recommend yoga classes or exercises for flexibility and stretching.
Breathing exercises
It should be noted that any physical exercise with improper breathing will not give the proper result, so those who want to live a long and fulfilling life will need to learn to breathe again.
Psychologists note that a harmonious and happy personality is distinguished by deep breathing with a full inhalation and the same exhalation “from the heart”. Most people breathe shallowly, without using the entire lung capacity and abdominal cavity.
It is especially useful to develop the breathing skills adopted in yogic exercises - pranayama. To get the desired result, do the following:
- relax;
- breath in your belly counting to three;
- exhalation is performed by the stomach in the same way with a count tothree;
- do a 3:3 belly breathing workout until it feels natural.
After such breathing does not require conscious control, you can move on to the following scheme:
- leaving a breath in the stomach for a duration equal to three, lengthen the exhalation first to 4, then to 5, and so on up to ten;
- the next step is the reverse sequence from 10 to 3 until the inhalation and exhalation of the stomach equals 3 to 3.
During the performance of these exercises, it is necessary to monitor all changes in the physical and emotional state. This type of breathing activates energy and “turns on” all the cells of the body to work. At the same time, it is intensively cleansed, which rejuvenates the body and returns to it the energy characteristic of youth.
Harmonic state
The commandments of eternal youth and beauty, voiced by modern scientists, say that it is impossible to live long without peace of mind. The Law of Acceptance is one of the fundamental laws in the Universe.
It is very important to remember a simple truth: everything in this world is perfect and good. Everything that does not correspond to these categories is the assessment of people who “make” the surrounding reality hostile and miserable in their minds.
The key to eternal youth (especially for women) is love and gratitude. To love yourself and the world around you, to thank all events (good and bad) for the opportunity of spiritual growth, to say “yes” to life and to receive joy from being, that’selement, without which the elixir of eternal youth will not be effective.
Emotional balance can only be achieved by complete acceptance of yourself and the environment without evaluation, but calmly and with a smile. This skill, which has been characteristic of Eastern philosophy for several millennia, is only just beginning to reach the West. Psychologists advise using relaxation exercises and meditation practices.
Power of the Mind
It makes no sense to remind that modern man is constantly in a state of stress, most often over trifles. The restlessness of the mind, which Tibetan monks call poison, destroys the body with the same force as bad habits.
If people pay attention to what they think about during the day, they will be amazed. More than 90% of the most powerful force in the Universe - thought - goes into negativity and focusing on the absence of something (no money, no he alth, no love, etc.).
Life wisdom lies in the fact that a person always gets what he focuses on. Everyone knows about it, but only 5% of people on the planet put it into practice, they own 90% of all money, and there is no secret about it. Eternal youth attracts a person as an achieved result, but at the same time he is afraid of death and thinks about it.
Meditation as a source of youth
Thought is the strongest emotional vibration to which the sensitive Universe always reacts. Anyone can develop concentration skills, but meditation is perceived by many people as something inaccessible and incredibly difficult.
ActuallyIn fact, meditation is the concentration on what brings joy and makes you happy. It can be an event from the past that fills you with a sense of joy, or a focus on what you want to have in the near future.
5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes before bed focusing on the desired outcome (recovery, meeting love, career growth, etc.) will “force” the Universe to create the necessary happy events in reality, just like it creates problems, sickness and poverty when one focuses on the negative. An important rule in meditation is to drive away “left” thoughts that are not related to the main topic. In the beginning there will be a lot of them, but regular practice of concentration will completely remove them.
Live food
Nutrition is the source of vitality or lack of it if it is wrong. To live long, you should follow a few rules in nutrition:
- it should be moderate, without overeating;
- main food source should be vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains;
- food must be properly cooked (not undercooked, overcooked, etc.);
- eat spices and fresh herbs regularly.
One of the most important factors in nutrition is being in the moment here and now, to feel every bite of food and enjoy it.
Recipes that prolong youth
Many people do not understand that longevity is work, like eternal youth. The recipe for eternal youth is a combination of all factors that affect the state of the human body. Among themdaily consumption of food that gives cleansing and renewal of the body:
- 50g of wheat or barley sprouted and eaten before breakfast (or instead);
- steamed and infused 2 tbsp. spoons of bran in a glass of boiling water give saturation and remove toxins from the body;
- rejuvenation occurs with regular use of a decoction of 1 cup of oats, boiled in 1 liter of water (the liquid should evaporate by a quarter), drink half a cup 3 times a day.
There are many recipes that rejuvenate the body, everyone can choose one according to their taste and ease of preparation.
Drinks for rejuvenation
In addition to food, the drink of eternal youth is very important for longevity - pure water. It removes toxins, cleanses the body at the cellular level and gives energy. You can make your own "silver" water, which has antibacterial properties.
To do this, the silver object must be heated, lowered into a vessel with water and insisted for a day. It is this water that is called "living", as it forms neural connections between cells, activates the activity of the brain.
Tibetan tea of eternal youth from Sudanese rose, drunk daily, cleanses the body and restores skin elasticity, restoring its radiance.
