Norcross, GA (PRWEB) April 17, 2011

LIU International Shaolin Institute invites health and healing conscious people world-wide to join the Mass Chan Meditation, Tai Gong Exhibitions and Workshops conducted by Grand Master Shi DeRu. One of his Meditation for healing and social harmony will be at Piedmont Park in Atlanta on World Tai Chi-Qi Gong and Healing Meditation Day, 9:00 AM-12:00 PM on Saturday, April 30th, 2011. This is a global health & healing event which will unfold across the planet, beginning in New Zealand, it will spread time zone by time zone across the globe through the U.S. and over 70 countries across 6 continents.

Along with him, his top instructors of various Shaolin Institute campuses in Mobile, AL; New Orleans and Thibodaux, LA, will teach the beginning level Chan (Zen) meditation & Tai Gong which will instigate and echo the Qi of human consciousness of healing, peace and harmony, at Cathedral Square in downtown Mobile, Audubon Zoo on St. Charles across Tulane University in New Orleans, Pelpier park in Thibodaux, LA, as well as China. This health and healing wave will be an opportunity to promote peace and healing worldwide.

Participants will learn calming and peaceful mind, adjusting breathing, empty mind, and experience total tranquility, sense of lightening, floating, releasing and enlightening. ?You forget, let go all the past and present and refresh yourself with new life and a new way of living? as expressed by the Master.

According to Susan, the chief coordinator of the institute, following the Master, participants will learn to breathe, stretch in various postures to relax the muscles, tendons and ligaments, and balance and circulate Qi to improve mental and physical harmony as well as communication. Instruction will also include a few basic techniques of Shaolin Yijinjing & Eight Pieces of brocade (practiced for 1,500 years) to balance and channel Qi (energy), so as to calm and cleanse the body and mind to release stress and improve overall healing.

Tai Gong, said the Master, is a combination of Tai Chi and Qi Gong based on ancient Shaolin Chan and medical exercise therapy practices. It focuses on Qi (energy) empowerment and body/mind cleansing, as well as Qi redirecting. Tai Gong redirects, unblocks and balances Qi on the right path in the meridian channels and within the organs for wellness and healing. It helps to improve calmness of body and mind, opens the Qi flow, re-channel the Qi, mobilize Qi and increase energy levels to strengthen the functions of organs, ligaments, and muscles. The circulation of Qi from the circulating motions of the body, limbs, joints and organs, improves the transportation of oxygen, energy and nutrients for healing bodily functions. Tai Gong will help each individual to bring the body and mind communication into reality.

?Tai Chi?? as stated by the Harvard Medical Press, ?might well be called medication in motion?. Researchers at Harvard University found growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Combined with traditional treatment, Tai Chi appears to be valuable for several medical conditions such as: anxiety, depression, back pain, arthritis, low bone density, breast cancer, heart disease, hypertension, Parkinson’s disease, sleep problems, and stroke. Participating in Tai Chi may also help to boost the immune system and improve respiratory-circulatory function.

The following series of Chan (Zen) meditation and Tai Gong will be held at the following times and locations:

Bhutan Paro Festival 2012 Schedule Announced, Peak Time for Bhutan Tourism

Paro, Bhutan (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

The schedule for the upcoming Paro Festival in April 2012 has been announced, and it promises to make for colorful and meaningful Bhutan holidays.

The Paro Tshechu, a sacred festival steeped in ancient tradition and culture, is one of the most sought after events in Bhutan Tourism says the co-founder of one of the leading Bhutan travel company, BhutanTravelAgency.com. The festival is held in a stunning 17th century fortress known as the ?dzong?, and is attended by locals who believe that viewing the religious dances and paintings displayed during the festival blesses and cleanses the soul.

The dances performed during the festival are said to have been choreographed by an 8th century saint based on his visions, and have remained unchanged for centuries. The costumes, masks and choreography have special significance and the performers, who are monks, are said to be in a meditative state during the course of the dance, as they have channeled the divinity of the deities they represent in the dances.

The tshechu features Chhams, which are different from other traditional dances in that they are religious and performed by monks. They have precise choreography, and the movements of the dancers are synchronized to a beat, fascinating all those who have undertaken Bhutan travel during this time.

The festival begins on 2nd April 2012, with the Dance of the Lord of Death and his Consort (Shinje Yab Yum) followed by the dance of the lords of the cremation ground (Durdag) wearing skull masks.

One of the most famous and beautiful dances, the Zhanag or Black hat dance, is performed on this day. The dancers, wearing brocade dresses and black hats, assume the role of yogis with the power to subdue and create life.

On the second day, the dances include Ngas or traditional drums, which add a hypnotic effect to the dances. The highlight of this day is the beginning of the Shawa Sachi chham, or the dance of the Stag and Hounds. This is a favorite tale of a Drukpa Saint, Milarepa, who converted a hunter to Buddhism.

The third day of the festival introduces a deeply symbolic dance known as Tungam, depicting sacrificial murder, performed by dancers wearing beautiful brocade and masks depicting expressions of wrath. Another must see dance on this day is the Pholeg-Moleg, dance of the noblemen and noble women. The dance is full of bawdy, rustic humour, and depicts a tale from the life of King Norzhang.

On the fourth day, Sha Tsham, dance of the four stags, is performed. The dance tells of how Guru Rinpoche subdued the god of wind who was creating havoc on earth. The dancers wear knee length yellow skirts and stag masks, and represent the mounts of the wind god.

The Raksha Mangcham, or the dance of the judgment of the dead is one of the more famous Tshechu dances making it into all Bhutan festival tours, and tells the story of what happens when a being dies. The being enters an intermediary stage between heaven and hell, where the Lord of death doles out judgment by measuring sins against good acts committed by the being, who is then allowed to enter heaven or hell.

The fifth and last day of the Tshechu is the day the giant applique image of the Guru, known as the Guru Thongdroel, is unfurled from one of the walls of the temples in the Dzong courtyard. Locals believe that viewing a Thongdroel has the power to liberate one from bad karma. On the last day, heroes lead believers into the presence of Guru Rinpoche, and Guru Rinpoche reveals his eight manifestations, and fairies perform a dance to bring happiness to the world.

Tshechus also feature the iconic atsara, or the traditional joker, who wears a red mask and entertains the crowd with outrageous antics throughout the festival.

The Paro Tshechu offers a wonderful respite to your Bhutan holiday, and imbues your travel Bhutan experience with some spiritual meaning.

Orange County, CA (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

Internet marketing professionals, known as the ?Lords of Internet Marketing,? have been fundraising throughout the past few months for cancer victim, four-year-old Sophie, in order to provide financial relief and moral support to her and her family. Their newest fundraiser will be a web telethon which will be hosted on January 4th, 2011.

Sophie was officially diagnosed with a stage 4 bone cancer called Ewings Sarcoma on September 1, 2011, and quickly began very aggressive treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. In addition, her treatment includes many other disciplines, such as integrative medicine, diet, psychology and acupuncture.

The fundraiser is expected to raise thousands of dollars for Sophie?s treatments which are not covered by medical, and to help support her family as her parents are unable to work due to the amount of care and support Sophie needs. There will be many internet marketing products available in exchange for donations at the web telethon on January 4th, most of which have been generously donated by the ?Lords of Internet Marketing? as well as other large names in the industry.

Bill McIntosh, host for this special fundraising event has this to say, “I’m very honored to be hosting this live fundraiser for Sophie. I’m particularly excited to see the results of over 90 marketers all working toward a common worthy cause.”

Parkinson?s Disease: Take Control with Lifestyle Changes in Brain Healthy Nutrition, Exercise, and Healthy Coping Strategies to Boost Physical and Emotional Resilience

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) December 28, 2011

There is evidence based support that re-focused nutrition, exercise, and healthy emotional coping strategies may play roles in maintaining optimal health while living with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders like multiple sclerosis. In fact, there is widespread interest today in brain healthy nutrition and how to protect and enhance neurologic function, particularly as we age. “Take Charge of Parkinson’s Disease: Dynamic Lifestyle Changes to Put You in the Driver’s Seat” is an unusual how-to book for anyone on the journey of living with PD, from the newly diagnosed to those like author Anne Cutter Mikkelsen’s husband, Mike, who has lived vibrantly with the disease for decades — and for anyone interested in brain-healthy nutrition.

Loss of control underscores this disease that impacts more than one million people in the U.S., their carepartners and families, and the sixty thousand newly diagnosed each year. “Take Charge” espouses making the most of what we can control: what we eat, how we choose to think about our circumstances, and what we bring to our relationships. Read reviews and praise from persons with Parkinson’s and PD and movement disorder health care experts, including the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, the Brian Grant Foundation, and the Struthers Parkinson’s Center.

Classically trained in French cooking, author Anne Cutter Mikkelsen is a Parkinson’s carepartner to and advocate for her husband, Mike. A Master Gardener and writer, and former restaurateur and bed and breakfast proprietor, Anne presents more than 80 of her own original recipes and menus that combine a wide variety of anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich ingredients, and culinary herbs and spices known to favorably impact the brain.

Powerfully, Anne tells the personal story of how she and Mike ? an award-winning potter and sculptor ? learned to live vibrantly since his 1993 PD diagnosis. The couple wishes to help cut the learning curve for others facing down a Parkinson?s disease diagnosis. According to Anne, food has been her most effective tool in her quest to create an atmosphere of optimism and anticipation for ?whatever is coming next? through the stages of Mike?s PD.

Mikkelsen, who studied cooking in Provence, France at L?Ecole des Trois Gourmandes with Simone Beck, co-author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking I and II, also is a former TV cooking show personality. In her “Take Charge” recipes, Anne uses familiar ingredients and introduces key ingredients ? among them, ?curcumin,? a component in the spice ?turmeric,? heavily researched for potential neuroprotective properties, and the piney-scented herb, rosemary, shown to improve circulation and stimulate the brain. Family chefs and foodies alike will be comfortable and intrigued with the culinary and, preparation techniques, and brain healthy pantry stocking recommendations.

Chapters of practical information about Parkinson?s Disease is supplied by contributing writer, Carolyn Stinson, on symptoms, difficulties with diagnosis, risk factors, loss and depression, denial, stress, and research at the Cleveland Clinic on potential neuroprotective and symptom management benefits afforded by certain types of exercise.

The metaphor in the book’s title is compellingly personal, too — ?putting you in the driver?s seat.? Anne and Mike know that PD will always be there, along for the ride. However, they have mastered living a good life, relegating Parkinson?s to the back seat as just a passenger. Beyond that fitting metaphor, Mike also happens to be a lifelong collector and creative restorer of automobiles, including the beloved Dodge D-19 Luxury Liner convertible he has owned for six decades. In early 2012, Anne and Mike as co-authors will publish a prequel of sorts to ?Take Charge? — ?The Dodge: Guts, Glory, and Living at Full Throttle? ? that recounts the intertwined life stories of Mike, Anne, and The Dodge.

?Of all the Arts, I return to the lure of the automobile? those with a history, a character and a host of idiosyncrasies, which I desperately want to know and cater to. I?ve recently learned that a car is capable of much more than transportation.? E.A. Mike Mikkelsen.

The accompanying video clip depicts Mike and The Dodge joyfully returning home from gathering holiday greenery for the Mikkelsen home.

Anne is also the author of “From Both Sides of the River: A Family Portrait,” also published in 2011. Both “The Dodge” and “From Both Sides” can be purchased at annecuttermikkelsen.com. “Take Charge of Parkinson’s Disease” is available from Amazon.com, in bookstores, and at http://www.annecuttermikkelsen.com.

Restaurant at Towson University Marriott Hotel Embraces Locally Sourced Movement

Towson, MD (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

The Towson University Marriott Conference Hotel is joining the latest culinary movement sweeping across the country. More and more chefs want locally produced ingredients to incorporate into their menu, and this Marriott hotel restaurant in Towson has joined the ever-growing list embracing the locally-sourced movement.

Towson, Maryland, may not be the first place that comes to mind when one thinks of buffalo roaming, but Chef Bill Rothwell at this Marriott Towson restaurant has been able to find a local source for the featured ingredient in his signature Grilled Bison Meatloaf, served at the hotel?s University Club restaurant.

Chef Rothwell likes to prepare regional favorites using the freshest local products in a way that allows the quality of the ingredients to shine. He has harvested and blended some of the tastiest flavors around this Towson, MD hotel to create an expansive and delicious menu. Favorites on the menu include cream of crab soup, corn fried oysters, jumbo lump crab cakes and the bison meatloaf.

For his bison meat Chef Rothwell goes to Gunpowder Bison and Trading Ranch in Monkton, MD. A family-owned and operated ranch, the Gunpowder Bison Ranch offers bison that enjoy rotational grazing on 70 acres of lush pastures and are naturally raised on a local grass diet, without harmful hormones or feed additives. These healthy and locally raised bison help make the Grilled Bison Meatloaf at this hotel restaurant in Towson a popular dish.

Chef Rothwell prefers to use bison meat as a healthy alternative to beef since it?s full of flavor, tastes very much like a very high grade cut of beef, yet is much lower in fat. He shares the recipe for the grilled bison meatloaf here.

Grilled Bison Meatloaf

1/2 tbsp chipotle peppers

1 tbsp coriander

2 cups low sodium beef broth

2 eggs

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 oz soy sauce

3 lbs ground bison

4 oz plain bread crumbs

5 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

5 oz corn

3 oz roasted red peppers

1 tsp chopped scallions

Pre-heat the oven to 250 degrees. Mix together chipotle peppers, coriander, beef broth, soy sauce, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix well and add remaining ingredients. Make sure everything is mixed evenly but not over mixed. Place mixture into meatloaf pan. Pack down tightly and make a small indent in center. Cover with aluminum foil and place in oven. Cook for approximately 2 hours. Remove from oven and rest. Slice into individual servings and grill on both sides. The recipe makes 12 slices.

Chef Rothwell and this Marriott Towson, MD hotel invites journalists to accompany him on a visit to Gunpowder Bison and Trading Ranch where they can watch the bison herds grazing, and shop for the bison meat for his menus. To arrange an interview and outing, contact Jane Coloccia at: janecoloccia(at)gmail(dot)com, or 609-737-2587.

Five Simple New Years Resolutions For a Healthier Diet and a Healthier Planet

admin Posted in Healthy Cooking,Tags: Diet, Five, Healthier, Planet, Resolutions, Simple, Years

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

Celebrity Chef, Gen Anderson, creator and host of Gen?s Guiltless Gourmet, a healthy and eco-conscious cooking series premiering on PBS stations in 2012, unveils her top five New Year?s Resolutions for a ?healthy planet, healthy you.? All of the resolutions call for people to make small changes in their daily diet and shopping habits that have powerful impacts on their health and the environment.

?Consumers can make choices that really affect change in their lives and in the world,? Chef Gen says. ?Every time someone makes a healthy choice for their family and the environment, it sends a message and makes a direct impact. I think that?s an incredibly empowering thing to realize.?

As New Year?s Resolutions for 2012, Chef Gen invites people to commit to these five simple but powerful changes:

1). Participate in Meatless Monday: forgoing meat once a week not only reduces saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet, it also reduces the water, fuel, and grain needed to produce meat and the pollutants and byproducts created by large-scale meat farming. In addition, meatless options like beans and lentils are very budget-friendly.

2). Make healthy swaps: Substitute items like almond milk, vegan cheeses and vegetable margarine for butter and full fat-dairy products in recipes. Swapping one serving of each saves approximately 75mg of cholesterol and 7 grams of saturated fat each day. Raising dairy cows also has a high water and energy cost, so even a small reduction has a major positive impact on the planet.

3). Commit to organic whenever possible: Chef Gen encourages her viewers to shop organic whenever possible. But if an all-organic diet seems out of reach, consider going organic for at least breakfast and snacks. Switching to organic fruit and cereal won?t overwhelm the food budget, and it will spare families and the planet a lot of pesticides!

4). Consider portion control: Face it; many of us just eat too much. Serve a sensible amount and refrigerate or freeze leftovers immediately. Something as simple as portion control will help save on the budget, the waistline and resources.

5). Clean green: Use eco-friendly cleaning products that don?t contain phosphates or harmful chemicals to clean the kitchen and home. This will keep harmful chemicals away from the family and out of the water supply.

As her own commitment for the new year, Chef Gen is resolving to provide a new Meatless Monday recipe on her website every week in 2012 to help people commit to these resolutions!
