Pearls| 18 January, 2012 06:14 The name of the pearl comes from the Latin word "pernula" and means seashell. Pearl is the the most ancient organic precious stone and from historical prospective is considered the most valuable.
Chance of sand, small crustacean or a piece of seaweed or shell to fall naturally in the shell body and to begin to accumulate layers around it to create a pearl, is literally one of tens of thousands.
Pearls are formed due to the protective reaction of the mussels (species that have pearl shell) when foreign body (stimulus) fall into the insight of their shell. First the oyster tries to expel the intruder. If it fails to expel the foreign body, it becomes the core (the center) of the pearl and the oyster begins to secrete layers of protective pearl substance around the irritant in order to soften it. The "job" of the mussel for cultivating the pearls continues decades, to grow to the size of a pea, the pearls are needed nearly 12 years, and to reach 8 mm they need at least 30-40 years.
The sheer pearl layers are separated every second, every minute and every hour of the day. Some mussels "sleep" during certain periods when the water temperature becomes too low, while others - especially those in warm waters around the equator - are active throughout the year.
While the oyster wraps in layers the foreign body, it actually becomes part of the oyster. The oyster accepts the irritant, embraces it and changes it. The shell uses all the creative forces that are there to deal with the intruder, ensconced in her home and make it a perfect work of art.
Getting into Yoga| 17 January, 2012 23:30 In the beginning you have to make room for Yoga in your daily life, and give it the place it deserves. But after some time, Yoga itself will pull you up by the hair and make you do it. Vanda Scaravelli
Everybody can practice Yoga. You do not need of special equipment or clothing. You will need just a little bit space and a desire for healthy and fulfilling life.

Yogic breathing exercises, known as pranayama, vivify the body and give power over the mind, leaving behind a sense of cheerfulness and peace. And practicing positive thinking and meditation, clears the mind and strenghtens the mind and concentration.
Yoga is a complete sciense of life, occured in India thousands of years ago. It is the most ancient system of personal development aimed to the body, mind and spirit on the same time. Ancient Yogis possessed thorough knowledge of human nature, what a human being needs to live in harmony with himself and with the outside world. They viewed the physical body as a means of transport, guided by the mind. They believed that the soul of a man is his true character and action, emotion and intellect seen as moving three forces of the body. To allow full development, these three forces must be in balance. based on understanding relationship between mind and body, they create a unique method for maintaining this balance - a method including all the necessary physical health movements with breathing techniques and meditation, providing peace of mind.
Words fail to convey the total value of yoga. It has to be experienced. B.K.S. Iyengar
