Come with me to the sea... relaxation
Come with me to the sea... cool water, the blue sky, wet stones, green every where, roses and cats -
This was my relaxation today - all my new pictures - in a few minutes :-)
Mini-relaxations/Harvard Medical School
Mini-relaxations can help allay fear and reduce pain while you sit in the dentist’s chair or lie on an examining table. They’re equally helpful in thwarting stress before an important meeting, while stuck in traffic, or when faced with people or situations that annoy you. Here are a few quick relaxation techniques to try.
Mini-relaxations can help allay fear and reduce pain while you sit in the dentist’s chair or lie on an examining table. They’re equally helpful in thwarting stress before an important meeting, while stuck in traffic, or when faced with people or situations that annoy you. Here are a few quick relaxation techniques to try.
When you’ve got 1 minute: Place your hand just beneath your navel so you can feel the gentle rise and fall of your belly as you breathe. Breathe in slowly. Pause for a count of three. Breathe out. Pause for a count of three. Continue to breathe deeply for one minute, pausing for a count of three after each inhalation and exhalation.
Or alternatively, while sitting comfortably, take a few slow deep breaths and quietly repeat to yourself “I am” as you breathe in and “at peace” as you breathe out. Repeat slowly two or three times. Then feel your entire body relax into the support of the chair.
When you’ve got 2 minutes: Count down slowly from 10 to zero. With each number, take one complete breath, inhaling and exhaling. For example, breathe in deeply saying “10” to yourself. Breathe out slowly. On your next breath, say “nine,” and so on. If you feel lightheaded, count down more slowly to space your breaths further apart. When you reach zero, you should feel more relaxed. If not, go through the exercise again.
When you’ve got 3 minutes: While sitting down, take a break from whatever you’re doing and check your body for tension. Relax your facial muscles and allow your jaw to fall open slightly. Let your shoulders drop. Let your arms fall to your sides. Allow your hands to loosen so that there are spaces between your fingers. Uncross your legs or ankles. Feel your thighs sink into your chair, letting your legs fall comfortably apart. Feel your shins and calves become heavier and your feet grow roots into the floor. Now breathe in slowly and breathe out slowly. Each time you breathe out, try to relax even more.

Bagels
Bagels , Bagels..and more Bagels ... yes ,I want to bake new Bagels today for Friday's party* , ! Even these cookies look SO good, I'll not bake any cookies now.. ; Let's see what I'll get from this new recipe... .It's a Peter Reinhart's recipe made with a 2 hours Starter,the full Bagels recipe is here.
Bagels
Starter:
18 ounces high gluten flour
1 tsp. instant yeast
20 ounces (2.5 cups) room temp water
Mix together until hydrated, then place in covered bowl and let rise until very bubbly on top, about 2 hours.
Dough:
Starter
2 3/4 tsp. salt
1 tablespoon barley malt syrup
1/2 tsp. instant yeast
17 ounces high gluten flour Mix starter, salt, syrup and yeast until blended. Add about 2/3 of flour and mix until dough forms. Add remainder of flour gradually, and knead (by machine) for about 6 minutes until smooth. Dough should be very stiff but pliable and still be able to pass a windowpane test. It shouldn't tear too easily but should be not at all tacky..full recipe
Ok: The Bagels are good, but I think It's to much work for 12 or 18 Bagels...and I was thinking I'll bake them in the same day..the crust is very crispy the inside is soft..I'm not sure they are "the best Bagels ever"..

טעימים אבל לדעתי יותר מדי התעסקות בשביל כמות כזו ובכלל, שלבי ההתפחה, צינון לילה במקרר, בישול במי סודה ואפייה..צריך לשקול אם במקרה זה זה מצדיק את כל הפצ'קריי, אני בספק
Thanks to all my family for a wonderful day* full with love ,good food and cakes, best wishes and presents :-)
כמה כייף לקבל הרבה אהבה, איחולים, תשומת לב ,אוכל הכי הכי טעים של אמא, עוגות מאוחתי הקטנה ומתנות נפלאות מכל אוהבי. תודה לכולםNovember 1, 2006
