The Transcendental Meditation technique and Vedic Sound have significant effects in creating brain wave coherence. Dr. Alarik Arenander of the Brain Institute unfolds the scientific basis of these observations.

I read an interesting piece about managing your own body energy, it is very interesting especially if you have a tiring 9-5 job.

Here is an excerpt:

Learning to manage energy can have dramatic transformational effects for both individuals and organisations. A critical step in this transformation is to stop wasting one’s time by learning to manage energy. We spend time on technical and tactical skills including time management, but too often ignore energy. Without energy, it is not possible to do the things we need to do, no matter how well we manage our time. Time is our most precious resource because we can never get it back; we need to value it and add value to it by managing our energy.

Some crap I completely forgot are the energy drink such as Red Bull, I don’t understand why they call these things energy drink ?

During 12 years Red Bull was banned in France however it was available elsewhere such as here in Spain and also in Belgium, UK , …. Now the new E.U regulation forces France to sell that crap, vive l’europe.

Are energy drink really harmful ? Well, personally, I don’t know, but I prefer stay far away from these craps.

Caffeine in energy drinks may be harmful

The energy drinks guzzled before cramming for an exam may contain more stimulants than students realize.

The energy drinks’ common supplements, taurine and guarana, are used in the drinks as a natural stimulant, said Charles Yesalis, professor emeritus of health and human development.

“[The supplements] are all trying to mimic the adrenaline your body produces,” Yesalis said.

FAQ on Caffeine and Energy Drinks

Can energy drinks be used as a satisfactory meal replacement?

Although high-caffeine energy drinks do provide some energy (in the form of sugar) and vitamins (some brands), this does not mean that they constitute a suitable meal replacement. They contain very little protein or minerals, and no dietary fibre. They are ‘drinks’, not meal replacers.

Dangers Of Energy Drinks

I’m back in Spain, I really enjoyed my travel to Quebec so far this is one of the best travel I made during this last three years. Lot of things happened and it made me think a lot. I believe my days are now counted in my small town, chance is that I don’t renew the rental contract however it depends of many factors.

Now, when I think about it all the interesting things that happened to me since I moved here , happened elsewhere than in my small town. Nothing happens in this small town, I don’t have any friends and I don’t know anyone, as I understand the place is great for meditations and stuffs like this no one will ever disturb you over here people just don’t care you exist however in other areas of development if I stay here I will have little growth.

The friends I have in Spain are either in Madrid or Barcelona, all these people who approach me in the streets they have something in common …they are for 99 % of them foreigners mostly from USA, Canada and UK and I met my Canadian girlfriend in Barcelona. I would like to improve my income I have ideas how to do it but I would like to move in an area where I can have some social life because I can apparently learn something from that I have stayed long enough alone in my beachfront apartment it is time for a change, the rental contract end in February 2009 so I have times to work on improving my income and choosing a new area to live.
