Dreaming to a Healthy Mind

Have you ever experienced lucid dreaming? I do. Almost all of the time. And every time I wake up I always feel depleted of energy. It was nice having control over how you dream and where your dream story would lead to, but you have to be prepared of the consequence of losing also your energy.

Sometimes I would dream of places I haven't seen yet, houses I haven't visited yet or lakes and ponds I haven't swum in yet. These places are beautiful and have an air of serenity. Clear blue waters and tall Elm trees flourishing along the road lends a feeling of peace. I always thought I could be in Heaven. After all, someone did say Heaven is a state of mind.

But does dreaming contribute positive to your health? I know sleep does. Yet dreaming may be a way of unloading life's stressors so your mind can keep itself stable and balanced. A person who falls often into dreamless sleeps may be stressed, having a personal problem or is too exhausted at the end of the day.

Also we often dream in black and white, but sometimes we also dream in technicolor. Lucid dreaming is often in technicolor than monochrome.

Through dreaming we can also come up with solutions to some problems that bother us. Creativity is needed in problem solving tasks, and through dreaming we can reach through the recesses of our minds and find our wellspring of creativity from which we can pull out ingenious solutions to our problems.

So keep on dreaming!

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
