Music Therapy

Taken from 'Keys to Extraordinary Longevity' by Dr. J.P. Willem.
'Music itself, which is used as a support for sound stimulation, calms and makes the subject feel secure and relaxed. It can induce hope, joy, nostalgia, affection, strength, a feeling of power, aesthetic appreciation, etc.
At home, each of us can use the immense resources of music, on the basis of some simple principles I summarise below.
- Organic life is based on rhythms, which means that music can calm or stimulate, harmonise or provoke stress.
- Predominantly rhythmic music stimulates the senses and the physiology, the mode of 'doing', making the body more dynamic (dance music:...)
- Predominantly melodic music stimulates the emotional life and the way of 'feeling' (Romantics; Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, etc)
- Predominantly harmonic music stimulates intellectual life and the way of 'thinking' (classical period: Handel, Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Haydn).
- Polyphonic music stimulates fraternal and collective sentiments (popular songs, Basque music, Corsican and Verdi choirs) up to very high-flown sentiments of light, love and joy (Monteverdi, Handel, Vivaldi, etc).
Music is used for relaxation: Moonlight Sonata - promote sleep: Reverie by Schumann....'

Natural Beauty of Rural Lifestyle

Whilst travelling in New South Wales, Australia, I visited the Penrith Valley. This is where nature and rural lifestyle meet; also the city atmosphere with plenty of shopping. It exceeds expectations, harmonious blend of urban and rural lifestyle as well as the Penrith Lakes where the Sydney International regatta Centre held the 2000 Olympic events. There is fishing, swimming whitewater rafting, sailing rollerblading, cycling and walking paths and area for picnics.
Looking at all these activities we also need to keep in mind fitness and healthy lifestyle. Whether you are an active person, feeling fatigued or simply have sore muscles, you will benefit from magnesium rehydration.
'Magnesium is required for at least 300 known biochemical reactions including all reactions involving the creation and use of energy. Research has shown that magnesium plays a pivotal role in muscular energy (ATP) production. Magnesium deficiency causes swelling and disruption of the main energy-producing structures with in the cell (the mitochondria).' [Garfunkel L. Magnesium regulation of the glycolytic pathway and the enzymes involved. Magnesium 1985; 4:60-72.]
This can cause exercise-induced muscle damage and can be reduced by magnesium supplementation.

Mannatech Inc. foundered by Sam Caster, produces EM-PACT with Ambrotose complex, which contains magnesium. This product is a workout performance formula for stamina and endurance. It also contains glyconutrients giving the necessary sugars which are necessary for optimal health and well being. Glyconutrients support your body's natural ability to reach optimum nutritional levels and enhance quality of life.
