let go . .
i beg you
stop haunting me
and tell
your ghost
no more
for
i want
to trust and be trusted
to love and be loved
to be able to see beauty
to believe that there is
tomorrow
and the sun will rise
i want to experience ecstacy
and there is life
after
and inspite of
all this . .
i would want to
exist
as a human again . .
allow me

ayurveda is taken from the sanskrit words – axus, meaning life, and veda, meaning knowledge. its practice dates back between 1500-400 ad. the basic principle of ayurveda is prevention and treatment of ilnesses by maintaining balance in the body, mind and consciousness through proper diet, lifestyle, as well as herbal medicines.
almost two months ago, my blood pressure soared high unexpectedly. out of self-medication, i did took atenolol to regulate my blood pressure. it did helped but the thing was, this medicine made me experience some bad adverse effects in my body system so i stopped taking it gradually.
bipasil provides the total alkaloids of sarpagandha, along with various correctives, laxatives and diuretics. it controls and corrects the causative factors responsible for hypertension.
weeks before, one of my co-workers from india told me he called up his wife to buy me some ‘ayurvedic’ medicine indicated for hypertension. he received it as a package and handed it to me the other week. i had to take two tablets twice a day on an empty stomach. my blood pressure was averaging 150/90 before and after a few days of taking this herbal medicine, i noticed a change of 130/80 average. well i thought maybe it does help.
flagellation is a form of punishment of whipping and scourging the body. jesus christ had to experience flagellation before his crucifixion and it was very common during medieval times to the middle ages.
in the philippines, self-flagellation is still being practiced during lent despite the strong disapproval of the catholic church. it involves the penitent, after slashing his back with a blade or a knife, scourges himself with a bamboo whip sometimes even with shards of broken glass at each end.
every year during good friday, a province in the philippines becomes a tourist attraction because of flagellants in a parade. such horrid self-inflicted pain is being seen as a kind of penance, but i think it is rather becoming a type of curious entertainment on ogling blood and gore.
