How to Perform a Cleansing Ritual Bath for Renewal

Gambar
Do you ever feel extra delicious after taking a shower? All of your muscles, skin, bones, and fascia feel like they’re much more integrated with each other than when you first entered, no? In fact, you may feel calmer, more level-headed, and your body may feel less tight. When we shower or take a bath, it is to cleanse our body of impurities, and we often just perform this as a task to get ready for work or bed, or as a midday refresher post -workout. However, water purification not only cleanses the Body, but depending on how we do it, it can also also clear the Mind, Spirit, and Heart, as well. Since the dawn of time, cleansing ourselves has taken on many meanings. And, it has become meaningful. Water, in and of itself, is life. Water brings growth and rebirth. And, humans, plants, and animals need it to live, thrive, and multiply. It also feeds our Earth Consciousness. It symbolizes life, growth, purity, flow, sensuality, emotion, and energy. Without water, everything on on our pla...

Hybrid Rotortug – the Well Cultivated Green Tug Revolution

On 26 November 2014 Elisabeth Ltd of Malta took delivery of the latest addition to their fleet of (Rotor-) tugs, which happens to be the first new ART 80-32 Hybrid Rotortug. This tug, named RT Evolution , was built by Damen Shipyards of Hardinxveld-Giessendam, the Netherlands and designed by an alliance of Rotortug in the Netherlands and Robert Allan Ltd in Canada. The project was overseen, co-designed and commissioned by Kotug, who will operate the tug on behalf of the owners in the Rotterdam harbour area . The Rotortug distinguishes itself from conventional ASD, Tractor or Voith Schneider designs by using a triangular propulsion configuration . The RT Evolution , to be known as ‘E-Kotug’-class, is the first of a pair of next- generation Rotortugs presently being built by Damen Shipyards. The Robert Allan- designed Hybrid Rotortug is characterised by improved fuel economy and reduced harmful exhaust emissions . The hybrid propulsion configuration is a continued development of the...

A Brief History of the Bathroom

The privacy, comfort, luxury and extreme sanitary conditions that we associate with our bathrooms today are the result of thousands of years of civil engineering and social change. Indoor plumbing, flushing toilets , heated water, water pressure , electricity and ventilation may be features we take for granted in our modern bathroom. But all of our bathroom’s high tech gadgets had a long history in the making. Although humans have always had the need to use toilet facilities and have used bathing as a way to cleanse themselves, it took centuries for our culture to bring these two important functions together into one convenient room. Let’s explore the fascinating history of the bathroom and see how much, or how little, has changed. Ancient Societies and Public Bathing When we talk about the activities we perform in our bathrooms today, we tend to speak of everything that relates to taking care of our bodies: washing, bathing, cleaning, relieving ourselves, manicuring our outer appear...

The Gentle Art of Poverty

I am an old man in his sixtieth year. I have entered that decade of life which destroys the last illusion and beyond which lies death, swift or lingering, actuarial or real. I am also poor, incontrovertibly, humiliatingly poor, for the first time in my life. My total annual income , from a modest pension ($1980) and the interest ($168.75) from an equally modest savings account , is 6 percent of what I earned in my prime-and less than two thirds of the property tax I once paid on a five-bedroom home with swimming pool in Westchester County, New York. I am divorced and living alone in an alien city of 800,000 strangers. My aging body betrays me day by day; the ground I am losing now I lose forever. So I perceived myself, at any rate, when the plane from a foreign country dropped me in San Diego one night seven months ago. Behind me stretched an aimless, six-year, expatriate trail through the South Seas, Asia, and Latin America that began when divorce and its inevitable byproducts-seco...
