Healthy Green Christmas

What is a healthy Christmas?

I think it is when we can reflect, appreciate each other, give and receive. Can we give each other gifts that encourage us to become a better version of ourselves? Perhaps the gift of wisdom, kindness and appreciation?

It is exciting with wrapped gifts. But maybe we need to add a pinch of balance to it? Consider arranging a Christmas game, where each participants buy a gift which you then compete to get by throwing dice or you can make a tournament with different games and charades, for example.

heat pad, Yogabolster, eye pillow in heart shape, heat wraps, meditation cushion, meditation mat, travel collar and buckwheat pillow.
Maybe we can buy one Christmas gift and then invest in crowd-fund projects or in each others project? What if we asked each other to talk about the challenges we're dealing with right now? Then we could share our own experiences and thoughts.

What traditions do you think is fine to keep and what new can create a little better world? A better world can start with you, because if you feel a little better, it will lift up all people around you!

Rest your eyes on any object for a few breaths. Finally, use both eyes and let your eyes wander over the tip of the nose, arm, thumb and the two objects. Finally, look into the distance.

Shifting distance
Keep your right index finger in front of the eye in about half an arm away from the eye. Keep the left index finger about 15 centimeters behind the right. Watching from finger to finger with a steady rhythm. Do this for one minute.

Yoga belt

Yoga belt or yoga strap in organic cotton.

The yoga belt allow you to receive the benefit of the yoga positions without overextending yourselves, thus experiencing greater ease and stability and more connection with your breathing. Use the strap for a better hand and foot connection. You can insert your arms or legs in a loop to hold them in position for support and to prevent them from slipping.

Yoga straps can be made from cotton or nylon.

Nylon are made from petrochemicals, these synthetics are non-biodegradable. The manufacture of nylon creates nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 310 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. This process is very energy intensive.

Cotton grows sometimes with herbicides pesticides, and it is also the chemical defoliants to aid mechanical cotton harvesting, which damages both the environment and human health. These chemicals typically remain in the fabric after finishing, and are released during the lifetime of the garments. Organic cotton is quite another matter which is the sustainable choice Nyttadesign uses. Buy Yoga belt in organic cotton


Example of yoga positions where you can use the belt:
Ardha Navāsana, Back-pack set up, Boat Pose, Bridge Pose, Chest and Shoulder Opener, Dancer Yoga Pose, Eka Pada Raja Kapotasana, Hand to Big Toe Pose, Hasta Padangustasana, Head Beyond Knee Pose, Janu Sirsasana, King Pigeon, Natarajasana, Parsvakonasana, Paschimottanasana, Plank Pose, Prasarita Padottanasana, Rabbit Pose with Strap, Reclined Bound Angle, Sasankasana, Seated Forward Fold, Setu Bandhasana, Side Angle Pose, Standing Hand to Big Toe Pose, Supta Baddha Konasana, Supta Padangusthasana, Tree Pose, Triangle Pose, Trikonasana, Uttihita Chaturanga Dandasana,Vṛkṣāsana and Wide Legged Standing Forward Fold.

Tips for Quieting the Mind

15:32 Unknown 0 Comments


Tips for Quieting the Mind
Yoga Bolster can deepen your positions.

Meditation can help you to increase concentration, decrease anxiety, and give you a general feeling of happiness. However only a small percentage actually stick with it for the long-term. Here are some tips to help you continue with your meditation:

How can you make space for meditation?
1) Make space for meditation. Decorate a space for meditation. Use decorative pillows and color for an inviting feeling. Set up a rule for an example – before you turn on TV or your computer you need to meditate for 20 minutes. And remember 5 minutes are always better then 0 minutes.

2) Start with the breath. Deep breathing slows down the heart rate, relaxes the muscles, set the mind to focus and is an ideal way to begin practice.

Pick a specific space in your home to meditate. Place candles and other spiritual paraphernalia in the room to help you feel at ease.
3) Stretch. Stretching loosens the muscles and tendons allowing you to sit (or lie) more comfortably. Additionally, stretching starts the process of “going inward” and brings added attention to the body.

4) Meditate with Purpose. Meditation is an ACTIVE process. The art of focusing your attention to a single point is hard work and you have to be purposefully engaged!

5) Notice thoughts and let them go. The mind can create frustrations like “hey, what am I doing here” or start to think about what you will do after your meditation... When this happens, really focus on your breath and let the frustrated feelings go.

Try different pillows, carpet, soft zabuton and positions to personalize your space.
6) Experiment. Be experimental and try different types of meditation. Try sitting, lying, eyes open, eyes closed, etc.

7) Commit for the long haul. Meditation is a life-long practice, and you will benefit most by NOT examining the results of your daily practice. Just do the best you can every day, and then let it go!

8) Do it together. Meditating with a partner, friend, kids or loved one can have many wonderful benefits, and can improve your practice. However, it is necessary to make sure that you set agreed-upon ground rules before you begin! Make sure phones for an example will not disturb you.

9) Use a candle. Meditating with eyes closed can be challenging. Lighting a candle and using it as your point of focus allows you to strengthen your attention with a visual cue. This can be very powerful.

10) Be Grateful at the end. Once your practice is through, spend 2-3 minutes feeling appreciative of the opportunity to practice and your mind’s ability to focus.
