Although many people view yoga as a form of physical therapy and exercise, it can also serve as meditation. The history and development of yoga are rooted in exercising the mind, spirit, and body. Historians believe yoga moves stem from ancient asana practices meant to prepare the body for meditation. The first step in transforming yoga sessions into meditation is to choose a mantra. This mantra could be a word or phrase representing goals, assurances, or any other purposeful intention. The next step is to focus on breathing. Adopting breathing exercises during stretches has soulful benefits as well as physical ones. Here the intention is to slowly inhale and exhale through the nose, releasing stress and overburdening thoughts with every exhale. This technique is called the ujjayi breath meaning ocean or victorious breath. Furthermore, it is vital to take sessions slowly. Yoga is a relaxing endeavor that one should not rush through. Switch poses and positions slowly in a manner that comes naturally to you.

Based in Pennsylvania, Hayley Ninnis is a Hunt Auctions customer service representative who also creates original clothing and accessories. Passionate about organic gardening, Hayley Ninnis has a particular interest in hydroponic techniques that conserve water and can be done in a limited space. This form of agriculture makes use of mineral solutions rather than soil.
One basic hydroponic approach is the floating raft system, which delivers plant growth through a balanced nutrient solution dissolved in water. The basic structure is a basin (for example, an opaque 10 gallon plastic storage bin) that contains the water solution and a raft that allows the plants to float on the surface. The raft is typically a polystyrene sheet that has had rows of half-inch holes made in it, spaced about three to four inches apart. With fast-developing leafy greens ideal, plant starts are slipped into each hole, such that the roots (but not the leaves) are immersed in the water. Oxygen flow is provided through an air stone, pump, and tubing system similar to in an aquarium in order to generate bubbles. At the same time, a teaspoon of Epsom salts and two teaspoons of water-soluble plant fertilizer are added for each gallon of water. This solution is completely replaced every two to three weeks, with untreated water used to top off in between. With this simple hydroponic system in place, tasty leafy greens can regularly be harvested. |
