কোন খাবারগুলিকে সুপারফুড বলা হয় এবং কেন?

আমি এই সুন্দর পৃথিবীতে মরতে চাই না - তবে মৃত্যু অনিবার্য। তবে সবাই সুস্থ জীবন যাপনের আশা করছেন। আপনি যদি দীর্ঘ ও স্বাস্থ্যকর জীবনযাপন করতে চান তবে আপন

AAAAAA THANK YOU!!!! I suppose I'll go down the line!

Adding a read more, I fear I went overboard ^^'

⭐️Vedana

Vedana comes from a long line of hedge-witches who called the banks of the Kolva River their home. Her family, once large and revered by the villagers of Vil'gort, dwindled to only her and her mother, then only her. Newly orphaned and Awakened, she travelled west to the bigger cities of Russia, where she found a family amongst a community of mages who claimed no Tradition. Her background helped her greatly in acclimating to this new world she was thrust in to, and she made it her mission to discover the root of the premonitions that plagued her since childhood.

⭐️Dmitry

Though some have come and gone throughout his life, there is one touchstone that's weathered the sands of time alongside Dmitry; an old, tarnished locket with the faded image of Maria Romanov inside. The locket was given to him by the Grand Duchess herself, just a few months before their relocation. He never knew exactly why she gave it to him, but he always thought it best never to speculate. It's not like he'd ever get any answers. The locket is the one thing he never takes off.

⭐️Valeria

Out of this lineup, Valeria is the 2nd most travelled, though she is the first to boast about it. She couldn't possibly fit the stories of her travels into one night's lecture. Having grown up in an influential merchant family, Valeria often accompanied her father on countless voyages through the Mediterranean Sea. Italy, France, Libya, Egypt, Turkey, Syria, there isn't a country in the area that she hasn't been and where she doesn't have some sort of long-standing connection, even centuries later.

⭐️Louvens

Louvens is a very learned man. His journey of magic and mysticism began quite young in his home of Plaine-du-Nord, where he practiced Vodou under his town's Oungan. His studies were cut short after he turned. The matter of his embrace is not one he likes to discuss. Over the years, he studied all he could of the rites and rituals of hermetic blood sorcery. Though he was not the first to combine his vodou practices with thaumaturgy, he is one of few in modern nights who still does. He keeps his rituals close and teaches those in his chantry only what they should know.

⭐️Arthur

It's an open secret that his relationship with Valeria is quite strained. Though they keep up the airs of a doting sire and loyal childe, it's obvious that the inverse is true. Arthur's need to prove himself because of his background feeds his inferiority complex. He has a finger in many pies, all of them aimed at wresting control of the greater Portland area from his ever-critical sire. For all his cunning, his schemes don't go unnoticed by Valeria. It's hard to deceive a deceiver, after all.

⭐️Mouse

Rumors have spread of her various habits and proclivities, but one seems to stick. The enigmatic Mouse can't seem to stand the city life, often only staying within the confines of civilization for a few nights at a time, if that. No one knows where it is that she scampers off to "recharge". Most are sure it's within the dense evergreens surrounding Astoria. The odd kindred or two have fallen into some rudimentary, yet effective, traps while trying to tail her.

⭐️Raven

Poor Raven missed her little sister, Grace, dearly. So much so that she nearly violated the Masquerade in order to see her. They had spent the last 48 years apart, after all. Raven's missing person case went cold and and she was declared dead. That was it. There'd be no chance to see Grace again. Once she heard that her little sister had gone senile and shipped off to an assisted living home at 65, she figured there'd be no better chance to see her. So she did. Little Gracie wasn't as far gone as Raven expected her to be, and well...she didn't take the surprise visit too well. May she rest in peace.

⭐️David

Once he left California, David didn't look back. Whatever happened between the Anarchs and Camarilla wasn't really his problem, but it was the best excuse he had to leave Santa Monica alongside his buddy, Dmitry. Sure, his whole life was there, but that was exactly why he needed to leave. He couldn't stand seeing his old face on posters around town, nor could he handle seeing his father shouting his name down alleyways in search of him. He'd miss the carne asadas his family would have every weekend, or attending the weddings of family members he'd never even met. Such is life. Un-life.

This Ratnasambhava Buddha is seated in varada mudra, his left hand is in the mudra of meditation. His legs are folded in dhyana asana and he is seated on a beautiful golden lotus throne. On the top part of the arch you will find a small figure of Amitabha Buddha, the most ancient Buddha among the Dhyani Buddhas.  This beautiful work of art embodies the compassionate presence of Ratnasambhava, inspiring devotees to cultivate a spirit of generosity and gratitude in their lives. As practitioners contemplate the radiant form of Ratnasambhava, they are reminded of the inherent richness of the human spirit and the boundless potential for generosity to foster harmony and well-being in the world. This sculpture was hand crafted by the very talented artists of the beautiful Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal!

Thirst for Pleasant Feelings

“…see how much of our lives are dominated by vedanā, feelings, how much they constrict our conduct.

How many times do we turn away from wholesome, noble, beautiful actions simply because we fear the dukkha-vedanā, the unpleasant feelings, that we might have to encounter while performing those actions?

How often do we perform actions which we know in our heart of hearts are going to lead to pain…

La Resilienza si può allenare? Cosa fare quando vogliamo mollare?

[acaringcounselor]

When I first started studying the teachings of the Buddha and read this, It didn’t make sense. After all we all have choice, right? I knew that our reactions are based on our experiences but what the Buddha taught goes much deeper than that. It has to do with what is outside our awareness, with how we’ve been conditioned and all the different causes and conditions that came together for that anger to arise. So it’s complex and not something we can understand on a conceptual level and this is why meditation is essential, it shifts us out of concept and into connection with the direct experience of what’s happening as it’s happening. We get to see how anger arises, what it feels like in the body, the breath, the heart and mind, and the best part is that we get to investigate it on the cushion where we can’t harm anyone. It truly is a healing and transformative approach to life. #compassion #understanding #vedana #volition #causesandconditions #intentions #meditation #awakening #wbmindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRg_YBnIpL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xlync47stt6j
