When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

- Patanjali, the ancient Indian philosopher and Yogi

    Hi Aparna,
    A Blessed Easter to you as well. Thanks for dropping by Alive! last night.

    These are great quotes . . . some I'm more familiar with than others. The familiar ones definitely bear repeating (often) -- most grateful for the ones that are new to me.

    Identify the goal you want to visualize—for example, walking a golf course. Find a comfortable place to sit and relax. Eliminate all distractions—turn off the phone, television, etc. Close your eyes and focus on feeling relaxed. Free your mind of intruding thoughts. Now, imagine yourself on the golf course. Create a picture in your mind of the place—the sights, sounds, and smells. Imagine a perfect day, warm and sunny, with a gentle breeze. Picture yourself with your favorite golfing friends, talking and laughing. Now visualize yourself starting on your way, passing the golf carts, and setting off to walk the whole course. Take a moment to feel the pleasure and excitement of achieving this goal.
    Then imagine yourself walking from hole to hole, enjoying the sunshine, the views, the fresh air, the good company and excellent play.
    Finally, visualize yourself finishing the course and feeling great, both physically and emotionally.

    “Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality . Wake Up and Live!

Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.
