How have worldly and spiritual happiness?

EGO means the “I” or self of any person.

A person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.

In Psychoanalysis, ego means the part of the psychic apparatus that experiences and reacts to the outside world and thus mediates between the primitive drives of the id and the demands of the social and physicalenvironment.

The ego is the organized part of the personality structure that includes defensive, perceptual, intellectual-cognitive, and executive functions. Conscious awareness resides in the ego, although not all of the operations of the ego are conscious.

Freud used the word ego to mean a sense of self, but later revised it to mean a set of psychic functions such as judgment, tolerance, reality testing, control, planning, defense, synthesis of information, intellectual functioning, and memory.

"The ego is that part of the id which has been modified by the direct influence of the external world. ... The ego represents what may be called reason and common sense, in contrast to the id, which contains the passions ... in its relation to the id it is like a man on horseback, who has to hold in check the superior strength of the horse; with this difference, that the rider tries to do so with his own strength, while the ego uses borrowed forces." (Freud,The Ego and the Id, On Metapsychology)

Ego defense mechanisms are often used by the ego when id behavior conflicts with reality and either society's morals, norms, and taboos or the individual's expectations as a result of the internalization of these morals, norms, and their taboos.

From a spiritual perspective, ego means considering oneself to be distinct from others and God due to identification with the physical body and impressions in various centres of the subtle body.

In short ego is leading our life as per the thinking that our existence is limited to our 5 senses, mind, and intellect and identifying with them to various degrees.

As per the science of Spirituality, our true state of existence is identification with the Soul or God-principle within us and living our day to day life with this consciousness.

As the one and same God-principle exists within all, from a spiritual perspective there is unity in all Creation. However, depending on the level of our ego, we identify with the God-principle within us.

Ego is a major obstacle in the path of man’s worldly and spiritual happiness. If our ego is high, we identify less with the Soul or the God-principle within us.

By doing spiritual practice and making conscious efforts to learn how to reduce ego, this will help us make rapid spiritual progress.

Prayer is an important part of spiritual practice that helps in reducing ego.

So ... Let's praying ...

10 Warning Signs of Cervical Cancer You Should Not Ignore

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. It occurs in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.

The American Cancer Society estimates that about 12,900 new cases of cervical cancer will be diagnosed and about 4,100 women will die from this disease in 2015. These estimations are shocking but true.

Almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). Women of all ages are at risk of developing this cancer after they begin having sexual intercourse.

Risk factors include unsafe sex, multiple sex partners, being overweight, use of oral contraceptives, genetics, smoking, poor immunity, multiple pregnancies and first pregnancy at a young age.

One of the scariest things about this cancer is that it does not show any symptoms in its early stages. After the disease has spread to the bladder, liver, intestines or lungs, the symptoms are more prominent.

Being an adult woman, if you notice any unusual changes or symptoms affecting your reproductive organs, consult your doctor.

Always bear in mind that your chances of successfully treating cervical cancer are higher if it is detected during the early stages. With the use of Pap tests and the HPV vaccination, it’s become possible to treat as well as prevent cervical cancer.

With knowledge of the risk factors and warning signs of cervical cancer, you can save yourself and others from a lifetime of suffering.

Here are the top 10 warning signs of cervical cancer you should not ignore.

1. Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding

Most women diagnosed with cervical cancer experience irregular bleeding.

An untimely bout of vaginal bleeding that occurs regularly could be an indicator of cervical cancer. It could also be due to other medical conditions, such as a hormonal imbalance, pelvic inflammatory disease or an infection in the pelvic organs.

As cancer spreads to nearby tissues, it creates new, abnormal capillaries that break easily and cause bleeding. Such bleeding may happen between menstrual periods, after sexual intercourse, after menopause and even after a pelvic exam.

Contact your doctor if you experience bleeding between menstrual cycles or following sexual intercourse.

2. Unusual Vaginal Discharge

A little bit of clear, odorless vaginal discharge is normal. However, if vaginal discharge increases, smells foul or has an irregular appearance, it could be a sign of infection or cervical or endometrial cancer.

When suffering from cervical cancer, vaginal discharge could be heavy, pale, watery, brown or mixed with blood.

If you experience this symptom, report it to your doctor immediately.

3. Pain during Intercourse

Painful intercourse is another important warning sign of cervical cancer. This symptom indicates advanced cervical cancer, which means the cancer has spread throughout tissues and reproductive organs. Apart from pain, you may also experience other symptoms, such as thick, foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

There are other possible reasons for this particular problem, such as an infection or STD.

Do not ignore this symptom. Get your cervix examined by your doctor.

4. Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain is common among women. Cramping and aches are a normal part of the menstrual cycle and do not usually indicate the presence of cancer or any other serious condition. However, pain that lasts for longer periods of time and occurs more frequently could be a sign of cervical cancer.

If suffering from cervical cancer, you may experience pelvic pain at unusual times, and the pain may start suddenly at any time during the month. In addition, such pain usually does not occur unless the cancer is in a very advanced stage.

If you have experience pelvic pain or pressure, visit your doctor to find out the exact cause and rule out the possibility of cancer.

5. Discomfort while Urinating

Cervical cancer can also cause discomfort during urination. In fact, it is one of the most obvious and prevalent symptoms of this deadly disease.

Urinary discomforts include burning, stinging or a tight sensation while urinating. Such symptoms occur when the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. This requires immediate attention to prevent further damage.

However, urinary discomforts also can be due to other causes, such as a urinary tract infection, bladder problem, yeast infection or sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Get checked by your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

6. Heavier and Longer Menstrual Periods

Menstrual periods that are heavier and longer than normal are another common warning sign of cervical cancer. Irritation of the cervix, possibly due to spread of cervical cancer, can cause this problem.

Bleeding is considered heavy if you have to change sanitary napkins or tampons more often than once every 2 hours.

Apart from cancer, heavy bleeding can be due to a hormonal imbalance, fibroids, polyps, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis or thyroid, liver or kidney disease. It can even happen due to certain medications.

Any change in the consistency of monthly periods should be discussed with your doctor. Remember that prevention is better than the cure.

7. Loss of Bladder Control

Needing frequent bathroom breaks is common among pregnant women and people who have increased their fluid intake. If you have this problem without any known reason, it may need further evaluation.

Bladder control is a primary issue when suffering from cervical cancer. It typically indicates that the cancer has spread beyond a localized area and is affecting the bladder or other parts of the urinary tract. People diagnosed with this cancer often experience loss of bladder control coupled with blood in the urine.

If you have loss of bladder control (incontinence) or notice blood in your urine, consult a doctor.

8. Unexplained Weight Loss

As with other forms of cancer, unexplained weight loss can indicate cervical cancer. When suffering from cancer, the immune system works hard to fight it.

The body produces small proteins called cytokines, which break down fat at a much higher rate than normal. This leads to weight loss, irrespective of your diet.

If you are suddenly losing weight and have some of the other symptoms mentioned in this article, it could be due to cervical cancer. It’s important that you get a medical checkup.

9. Constant Fatigue

A busy day can wear anyone out, but with a little rest, you feel refreshed and full of energy. If you are feeling low or lack of energy most of the time, despite resting, it could be a cause for concern.

When suffering from cancer, healthy red blood cells are replaced by white blood cells to fight off the disease. This causes anemia, leading to fatigue, lack of energy and loss of appetite. In addition, there is decreased oxygen supply to the body.

An anemic response is a warning sign that the cancer is progressing rapidly, and you need to get it treated as quickly as possible.

10. Leg Pain

Women diagnosed with cervical cancer often experience swelling and pain in their legs. When the cancer spreads, it obstructs blood flow, which causes swelling in the legs. Swollen legs often create a sore, painful sensation, making it hard to carry out your day-to-day activities.

When caused by cervical cancer, the pain tends to be constant and increases in intensity over time. At times, there also may be back pain.

Remember, having leg pain does not mean you have cancer. If you have leg pain and a few more of the above-mentioned symptoms for a few weeks, it is best to get yourself checked by a doctor.

Preventive Tips
Women between 20 and 30 years old should get a screening every 3 years. Those 30 to 65 years old should be screened every 3 to 5 years.
Get an HPV vaccination before your early 20s.
Quit smoking and avoid secondhand smoke.
Take the right steps to prevent STDs. This will help reduce your risk of cervical cancer.

Simple Hand Exercises Boosting Your Energy And Health

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Japanese alternative form of touch therapy that has been proven to improve moods and increase energy levels through hand stimulation.



Massage and Bodywork Quarterly states, “It is a physio-philosophy that involves the application of the hands for gently balancing the flow of life energy in the body; more generally, it is the awakening to awareness of complete harmony within the self and the universe”

Let’s face it, on a weekday we need all the help we can get and if increasing your energy level is as simple as a self administered hand massage, I think you should know the secret.

Simple Hand Exercises: The Jin Shin Jyutsu Method

The belief is that each finger is connected to different organs within your body, and each finger pertains to a different attitude and emotion. You can refer to the image to see which fingers are related to which emotion.

When you massage your hand, focus on the finger correlating to the emotion you want to diffuse or the organ that you feel needs relief.

If you want to do an entire body revitalization, then massage each finger as well as your palm. Remember to engage your entire hand, on all sides. Your fingers should receive a 360 degree treatment!

Studies have shown that when people engage in Jin Shin Jyutsu they feel significant results, including reduced nausea and increase relaxation and improved sleeping patterns.

Some have made correlations between the fact that the thumb is connected to tensions and stress and that massaging the thumb can help someone sleep. Could this be the reason why babies suck their thumbs?

There is also a thought that people associate the middle finger with anger, which explains why showing someone the middle finger is such an angry and aggressive gesture.

Finger Reading
Thumb:

Emotions – Worry, depression, anxiety

Organs – Stomach, spleen

Symptoms of defect – stomach aches, headaches, nervousness

Index Finger:

Emotions – Fear, confusion, frustration

Organs – kidney, bladder

Symptoms of defect – Digestive problems, joint pain, addictions, gum pain

Middle Finger:

Emotions – Anger, Indecisiveness, Irritability

Organs – Gall bladder, liver

Symptoms of defect – vision, fatigue, migraines, circulation problems

Ringer Finger:

Emotions – Sadness, fear of rejection, negativity

Organs – Large intestine, lungs

Symptoms of defect – digestive problems, respiratory conditions

Little Finger:

Emotions – Low self-esteem, insecurity, nervousness

Organs – Heart, Small intestine

Symptoms of defect – bone or nerve conditions, bloating, blood pressure, heart conditions

Unfortunately in this day and age, we have to take every defense against the chemicals, pollutants and toxins that are bodies are subject to. As you know, there are certain chemicals that contribute toward depression and sadness, which are found in our food, products, air and the materials we come in contact with.

When you feel sad and depressed, your energy level plummets, making the day seem long and dreary. These hand massages can turn your day around and help you stay on top of your emotions.

Why not try it out on some friends first? Even though you can do it yourself, there’s nothing better than receiving a nice long hand massage (I’m sure your friends will be happy to be your experiment!).

13 Reasons to Eat Watermelon

The watermelon is a tender, warm-growing fruit and it is associated with the hot, summer days when we eat this fruit in order to freshen ourselves. 

Apart from its sweet taste it also contains many medicinal properties. It is rich in vitamin B, vitamin C, beta-carotene, manganese, magnesium, phosphors, potassium, calcium and iodine. It is very important to mention that it contains only 29kcal per 100 grams and this is one of the reasons to consume it. When it comes to the above mentioned medicinal properties, the following are just few of them: lowers blood pressure, treats skin fungus, treats edema etc.

The watermelon seeds expand the blood vessels, improve kidney function and lower blood pressure. For kidney cleansing, it is recommended to do a watermelon fast for a whole day, since fasting is beneficial for people suffering from kidney and urinary infections and stones. You can cut the watermelon into small cubes and eat some several pieces every fifteen minutes throughout the day. The watermelon acts as a mild laxative as well and it s beneficial for constipation.

How to use watermelon as medicine? 

• 1- Kidney stones

For treating kidney stones with watermelon, you need to make a watermelon seed tea. Pour a pint of boiling water over a tablespoonful of watermelon seeds and allow them to soak well. Let it sit for few minutes to cool and then strain. It is recommended to drink three glass of the tea on daily basis.

• 2- Kidney infections

This type of infection is a type of urinary infection which occurs when bacteria enters in the kidneys. Apart from the medical treatment for this infection, a healthy diet is also recommended in order to help you recover and protect your body from some further infections. The healthy diet includes drinking a lot of fluids as well as fruits and vegetables with high concentration of water. Watermelon is the perfect choice, since each bite of it contains 92% of water.

• 3- Kidney cleansing 

The best and most effective way of kidney cleansing is a one-day- fasting. Watermelon acts as a natural diuretic and it helps the body get rid of excess fluids. There are various ways of enjoying the benefits of this fruit. You can either juice the watermelon or cut cubes and eat them whenever you feel hungry.

• 4- Colon cleansing 

People who face some colon issues usually suffer from dehydration. The key in achieving a cleaner colon and proper digestion is the incorporation of more liquids into your daily routine. The liquids lubricate the digested food and provide it with right hydration to break it down. That is why it is recommended to drink water and fruit juices as well as eat fruits and vegetables with high concentration of water. Watermelon is the perfect choice of food which helps the process of colon cleansing.

• 5- Liver cleansing 

The watermelon cleanse helps the liver to process ammonia (a waste from protein digestion) and convert it into a molecule known as urea. The urea is a component of urine which safely and naturally excretes from the body. The watermelon detox concept is completely safe and natural and it is based on drinking 3 cups of watermelon juice on daily basis.

• 6- High blood pressure and problems in the arteries

According to a study conducted by Florida State University and published in the American Journal of Hypertension, the watermelon is rich in amino acid called L-citruline which relaxes the arteries, lowers people`s systolic pressure by as much as nine points and improves circulation.

• 7- Skin pimples 

In order to get rid of the skin pimple try this simple trick with watermelon. Rub the watermelon rind onto your affected area and leave it on for couple of minutes. Then rinse with warm water. By doing this simple rub with watermelon rind you are releasing the nutrients onto your skin and thus cleaning the bacteria-prone areas.

• 8- Skin fungi 

The watermelon rind is considered to contain anti-fungal properties. In order to get rid of the skin fungi do the same procedure as the one mentioned above (skin pimples). Rub the watermelon rind on the skin several times a day.

• 9- Heartburn

The heartburn or acid indigestion can be really unpleasant. Luckily, there are many home remedies for treating this burning sensation in the chest. It is recommended to eat 4-6 chunks of watermelon slowly and repeat this several times a day. The quantity of how often you eat them depends on how much serious your situation is.

• 10- Constipation 

The constipation can be both painful and frustrating. Lack of water, exercise and low fiber diet are one of the things that can cause constipation. In order to restore the colon and the intestine eat a slice of watermelon on daily basis. The secret lies in the high water concentration as well as the fiber content which help the body eliminate the waste within a short time. However, don’t eat too much watermelon because it may cause diarrhea. 

• 11- Edema 

Edema, as commonly referred to as swelling is caused by excess fluid trapped in your body’s tissues. Due to the diuretic properties watermelon has it can significantly remove the swelling. It is recommended to drink 3 cups of watermelon juice a day.

• 12- Diabetes 

Although watermelon has few carbohydrates and natural sugar per serving, it is also low in calories and loaded with nutrients. That is why if you have diabetes you are encouraged to eat watermelon as part of your healthy diet. Make sure you follow the guidance of your health care provider.

• 13- Gout 

Gout pain is usually caused by the sharp uric crystals. The watermelon is an especially alkaline fruit with high water concentration which are key factors in dissolving and flushing the crystals
