The word "Power" Power


The Power Qi

If I wanted to give a translation of the word Power Qi I would say that it is "the power of energy."

But what does it mean and why use two words with a different etymology.

The word " Power" is easy to identify, but it is seen as strength, vigor, intensity, an ability to act movement.

This movement is capable of generating new " Energy , to restore a number of balances that are indispensable and

essential to life. The second word, which comes from China, expresses another extremely important concept, but closely connected with the first.


The character representing the word Qi is represented by two parts, the inner one, which is to identify the rice cooks: this is the food is par excellence is the practical matter, the energy potential state (YIN)

.

On the outside, the three lines on top represent the evaporative emission movement, which spigiona rice, the moving part, more subtle, the most Yang energy.

December 1 World AIDS Day



Given my interest in the medical field and my feelings on this topic, I decided to post few lines on this terrible disease.















The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, otherwise known as AIDS represents the terminal clinical stage of infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
HIV is an RNA virus that belongs to a particular virus family, that of retroviruses, has a unique replication mechanism. Thanks to a specific enzyme, reverse transcriptase, retroviruses are able to transform their genetic heritage to a double-stranded RNA into DNA. This is inserted in the DNA of the infected cell (called "host cell") and from there to conduct the production of new viral particles.
In the specific case of HIV, the target cells are special cells in the immune system, CD4 T cells, which are essential in the adaptive response against a variety of pathogens. The HIV infection then causes a progressive weakening of the immune system (immunosuppression), increasing the risk of infections and diseases - more or less serious - from viruses, bacteria, protozoa and fungi, potentially lethal to the long distance, and that in normal conditions could be treated more easily.
After coming into contact with HIV, a person can become infected with HIV and begin them to produce antibodies directed specifically against the virus, undetectable in the blood. This implies that HIV infection is ongoing and it is therefore possible to transmit the virus to others. The appearance of antibodies, however, is not immediate. The time that elapses between the time of infection and the appearance in the blood of antibodies against HIV is called "window period" and lasts an average of 4-6 weeks, but may extend up to 6 months. During this period, even if the person is HIV-negative can still transmit the infection.
from HIV, you can live for years without noticing any symptoms of infection and only the outbreak of a disease. Undergo the test of anti-HIV antibodies is, therefore, the only way to discover the infection.
The incubation period can last several years, until the disease becomes clinically overt due to the onset of one or more infections so-called "opportunistic." To cause disease agents that are normally unable to infect healthy people, but only people with seriously compromised immune systems.
During full-blown AIDS may develop various forms of cancer, particularly lymphomas and Kaposi's sarcoma.
Vie transmission
There are three different modes of transmission dell’Hiv: per via ematica, per via sessuale e per via materno-fetale.

La trasmissione per via ematica avviene con stretto e diretto contatto fra ferite aperte e sanguinanti e scambio di siringhe con un sieropositivo. Durante le prime fasi dell’epidemia, quando erano minori anche l conoscenze sui sistemi di diffusione del virus, diverse persone sono state contagiate dall'Hiv in seguito a trasfusioni di sangue o alla somministrazione di suoi derivati. A partire dal 1985 questo tipo di trasmissione dell'infezione è stato praticamente eliminato, grazie a un maggiore controllo delle unità di sangue, al trattamento con calore degli emoderivati e alla selezione dei donatori, ma anche a un minor ricorso a trasfusioni inutili e ad un maggiore utilizzo dell’autotrasfusione.

La trasmissione attraverso il sangue rappresenta, invece, la principale modalità di contagio responsabile della diffusione dell’infezione nella popolazione dedita all’uso di droga per via endovenosa. L’infezione avviene a causa della pratica, diffusa tra i tossicodipendenti, di scambio della siringa contenente sangue infetto. Possono essere infatti veicolo di trasmissione dell’Hiv anche aghi usati, e in questo senso sarebbe opportuno sottoporsi ad agopuntura, mesoterapia, tatuaggi e piercing utilizzando aghi monouso e sterili. Con la stessa modalità è possibile la trasmissione sia dell’Hiv che di altri virus tra i quali quelli responsabili dell’epatite B e C, infezioni anch’esse very common among drug users.
Sexual transmission is the world's most common mode of transmission of HIV infection. Sexual intercourse, both heterosexual and homosexual, are not protected by the condom can result in transmission of infection. Transmission occurs through contact between infected fluids (vaginal secretions, pre-ejaculatory fluid, semen, blood) and mucous membranes during sexual intercourse. The transmission is possible even if the mucous membranes are intact. The
unprotected sex can cause not only of HIV transmission. Indeed, there are over 30 sexually transmitted diseases.


Hiv e gravidanza

La trasmissione da madre a figlio, o verticale, può avvenire durante la gravidanza, durante il parto, o con l’allattamento. Il rischio per una donna sieropositiva di trasmettere l’infezione al feto è circa il 20%. Oggi è possibile ridurlo al di sotto del 4% somministrando zidovudina (Azt, primo farmaco usato contro l’Hiv) alla madre durante la gravidanza e al neonato per le prime sei settimane di vita. Per stabilire se è avvenuto il contagio il bambino deve essere sottoposto a controlli in strutture specializzate per almeno i primi due anni di vita. Tutti i bambini nascono con gli anticorpi materni. Per questa ragione, il test Hiv effettuato sul sangue di un bambino nato da una donna sieropositiva risulta sempre positivo. Anche se il bambino non ha contratto l’Hiv, gli anticorpi materni possono rimanere nel sangue fino al diciottesimo mese di vita, al più tardi entro i due anni. Il bambino viene sottoposto a test supplementari per verificare se è veramente portatore del virus o se ha ricevuto solo gli anticorpi materni.

Strategie di prevenzione

Poche semplici precauzioni possono ridurre, o addirittura annullare, il rischio di infezione da Hiv. Per evitare la trasmissione dell’infezione per via ematica:

  • evitare l’uso in comune syringes and needles for injecting drugs
  • not undergo acupuncture, mesotherapy, tattoos and piercings if the needles used are not disposable or have not been sterilized
  • for health professionals, be careful when handling and use needles and other sharp objects
  • for doctors, encouraging the use of autotransfusion and adhere rigidly to the indications for transfusion of blood, blood donations are always tested for HIV, nor should they give blood, plasma, sperm, organs for transplant, tissue or cell or persons who have had high-risk behavior.

To avoid transmission of infection through the blood, sexual

  • mutually monogamous sexual relations with a partner who is not infected
  • possibly abstain from sexual intercourse
  • in occasional case reports ( vaginal or anal orogenital), use a condom.

The correct use of condoms can, in fact cancel the risk of infection during any kind of sexual relationship with each partner. During intercourse the condom is the only real barrier to defend themselves from HIV. Even a single unprotected sexual intercourse could be due of infection.


As the virus is not transmitted
The virus is not transmitted through:

  • handshakes, hugs, kisses
  • clothes, saliva, bites, scratches, cough, tears, sweat, mucus, urine and feces
  • glasses, cutlery, plates, sheets and towels
  • insect bites
The virus is not transmitted by attending:
  • gym swimming pool, showers, saunas and toilets
  • schools, kindergartens and places Working
  • restaurants, bars, cinemas and public places
  • transportation.
The HIV test
To find out if you have been infected with HIV, it is sufficient to take the test for the detection of specific antibodies against HIV that is done through a standard blood test. The anti-HIV tests can identify the presence of specific antibodies that the body produces when it comes into contact with this virus. If there were high-risk behavior is good to take the test at the end of the sixth month since the risk of infection (window period), because anti-HIV antibodies can also occur within six months after exposure to contagio.Bisogna keep in mind that during the "window period" (period of time from the moment of infection to that of the induction of antibodies) may be possible transmit the virus while not test positive.
Italian law (135, June 1990) ensures that the test is carried out only with the consent of the person. The test is not mandatory, but if there were risk behaviors should be effettuarlo.Per test, in most health services do not need a prescription, it's free and anonymous. Early to know to be HIV positive to HIV testing allows for timely drug therapy that enables today to improve the quality of life and live longer.
therapies
Today doctors offering therapy (HAART higly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy) against HIV infection for people living with HIV, based on the so-called "values" of CD4 lymphocytes (cells of the system immune) and viral load (number of HIV particles in the blood), which measures the speed of replication of the infection.
therapy is usually composed of several antiretroviral drugs that reduce viral load and improve the immune system. Because of
strong tendency of HIV to mutate (reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that naturally introduces errors in the viral genome), it is necessary not only to find always new drugs, but also adopt combination therapies. In this way we try to minimize or at least delay the onset of multi-resistant viral strains.
In Western countries the therapeutic success against AIDS are largely due to the results obtained from scientific research that helped to identify drugs with potent antiviral activity.
However, keep in mind that current treatment strategies do not allow recovery from infection but allow you to keep it under control. It is therefore essential identify new therapeutic strategies with mechanisms other than those we have today.

The World Day against AIDS , held each year on 1 December
, is dedicated to increase awareness of the epidemic World AIDS due to the spread of HIV . The recurrence was chosen as the first case of AIDS was diagnosed on 1 December 1981 . Since then, AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, becoming one of the most destructive epidemics in history. As recently access to treatment and antiretroviral drugs has improved in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic has claimed about 3.1 million victims in 2005 (estimates are between 2.9 to 3.3 million), more than half of which (570,000) were children.
The idea of \u200b\u200ba World AIDS Day originated at the World Summit of Ministers of Health on Programmes for AIDS prevention in 1988
and was later adopted by Governments, international organizations, professional associations worldwide.

Black Cat Football Helmet

NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION - LONDON - 30 October 2008

After the races at the last minute to find a place in one of the many buses, there are successful, and I went to manifest! A lot of people never seen so many people all at once ... and all for defending the public school from destruction!
say that we were one million ... data from the police ... but as even the police tend to "cut", let alone how many were actually!

Unions Tuscan school had announced that 15,000 would arrive in Rome for the day of action in defense of public education against the Gelmini decree and Brunetta, had arrived in Rome wrong to 25,000 with 236 buses, a Pisa by train, car self-organized and full load on regular trains with reserved seats for some time. Workers of the sole, Universities and Research, young students, mothers and fathers who willingly accompanied the minor children whose reservations were not accepted. The coach of the Tuscans have been fed Anagnina, will never arrive in Piazza del Popolo, and in the car during another event. Those who are reach Termini split between the main march and a second parade along Via Nazionale became necessary because the first could not contain all the participants .
"The mobilization of Rome today is further proof of what the schools do not accept the Gelmini decree, which carries out indiscriminate cuts without having a real idea of \u200b\u200breforming the school system. Final approval of yesterday was another blow to the Italian school and the mobilization of students, teachers and parents who have been shown to be part of a movement that holds mature all’istruzione e alla sua qualità, cose che Berlusconi e Tremonti intendono soprattutto tagliare”. >>




Io ho aderito al corteo degli universitari che si è diretto verso il Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione... non c'era spazio per tutti... e allora la trovata geniale: "circondiamolo"!!!
-->>Il ministero dell'Istruzione è assediato, la marea dei ragazzi si espande e gira tutto intorno a quel brutto palazzo anni Venti. Arrivano e lo circondano, una trovata ma anche una necessità, tutti davanti all'ingresso di viale Trastevere non ci si sta e allora " Circondiamo Ministry "all singing in chorus, and the windows of the hospital," Nuovo Regina Margherita, nearby, are applause. There are still people in the Piazza Venezia, Piazza Exedra has just emptied, not the empty streets towards the square people who occupied the streets because there will not be walking.
the Magliana improvise a procession from outside and those who are unable to reach the center, the same fate for a hundred bus stops on the fitting . To give the numbers do not always make us feel good but the unions: one million protest against the school reform and government policies.
in Rome that was it. In the aftermath the go-ahead to the Senate dl Gelmini, and the protest in Piazza Navona interrupted by an attack by right wing extremists, the general strike called by the school FLC-CGIL, CISL school, UIL school, and Gilda Snals a tide gate in the square human oversized. The predetermined path it takes little to explode. the crowd is divided into several streams, roads planned conquest and more capacious. mobilization is impressive and brings together the many souls of this protest, unions and schools, and university professors, researchers, precarious.
And many women. In the square there are thousands, are the most affected by what will happen between the desks because they are teachers and mothers and if they say "our ragazzi" parlano con la stessa preoccupazione dei figli loro e di quelli acquisiti. Sono tante e sono arrabbiate, sfilano con i palloncini dei sindacati o gli striscioni fatti in casa, gli slogan contro la riforma ("Scuole razziste non ne vogliamo / lo diciamo piano / e in italiano") e quelli che sanno di vita quotidiana, "Ma non era meglio se pagavo l'Ici?" o "Addio al tempo pieno", il santino della Gelmini sulla giacca, la foto del ministro e la scritta "Beata ignoranza", e quelle che si portano i figli piccoli col cartello "Bambino strumentalizzato". Ci stanno loro in testa al corteo, con i leader sindacali di settore e nazionali e quelli del centrosinistra, da Veltroni e Fioroni, Mussi, Bindi, Ferrero, Di Pietro.

The square, even though the streets are children and young people. From every angle is a continuous flow that does not stop, come to detachments from Termini Station or the subway exits, there are banners with the names of the schools, they dance with the musical notes of the city of Banda Falerna, ranging from a zumpappero Brothers of Italy, Caparezza, Bob Marley and Radiohead and the like. Pass and people leaning out of windows and claps his hands, a woman has no better then waves a red jacket. The schools fill the square, are also from outside, "is Latin. Gelmini there is."
The Exedra is packed, the head of the event has come into the Piazza del Popolo when the procession of Wisdom emerges from Independence Square. At the head of the truck with music and a megaphone, the green smoke and cries, " Gelmini, now the protest today understand or go to the hairdresser? . Useless to try to follow the intended path, a section of at least one hundred thousand people come off and bestrides Via Cavour, gets to Piazza Venezia, the Altar of the Fatherland. "On 4 November we celebrate yet another tribute to the military, but instead of cutting the school would cut the so-called peacekeeping missions." Then to Trastevere, the ministry goal. " culture makes you fear / ignorance is your most . "" There's a whole country that begins "cries Epifani other side, from the stage in Piazza del Popolo, and a roar. The leader CGIL called it "a memorable day not only for school but for our democracy to the country's future, for our young people." They say "you will not regret staying with us, here is the majority of country that does not resign. "Invoke" a confrontation with the unions, families and local authorities "the secretary of the CISL, Raffaele Bonanni, because" a confrontation with the government there has never been. "And the leader of Uil, Luigi Angeletti, insists on "Avoid any exploitation."
Traffic in Rome is crazy but the boys had said, "If we block the future / we block the city." And so it was. I am 14 and past the front of the Ministry of Education there is still a large group of diehards. Someone pulls eggs at police but no one breaks down. Peaceful and fierce as they were there, they organize to leave. "Now to Ostiense and Piramide". The truck starts, the megaphone up again, Here comes again the slogans "No to fascist provocations. Their clubs are solid, but our wave is liquid. E, come l'acqua, nessuno la può fermare ".

Where will 'THIS LAW??

Il consiglio di amministrazione dell’ateneo fiorentino, dopo aver redatto un documento che ribadisce le pesanti conseguenze dell’applicazione della legge 133, ha deliberato il rinvio dell'assunzione di 46 ricercatori e di 1 professore associato, già prevista per il prossimo primo novembre in base a programmazioni precedenti, "in considerazione della mancanza di un quadro finanziario di riferimento certo - recita la delibera - fino all'accertamento della copertura finanziaria".
Il senato accademico e il consiglio di amministrazione dell'ateneo fiorentino, riunitisi il 24 ottobre in seduta congiunta, hanno approvato all'unanimità la seguente mozione:
"In considerazione dello stato di agitazione in atto nell'ateneo, legato alla applicazione della legge 133 del 2008, che, insieme ad altri recenti provvedimenti, comporta effetti pesantissimi sul sistema universitario, ribadiamo le gravissime preoccupazioni già espresse nei documenti in precedenza approvati, anche in considerazione del fatto che i suddetti provvedimenti rischiano di vanificare le azioni di razionalizzazione finanziaria e organizzativa impostata, e su cui da tempo è stata sollecitata l'attenzione Government and the Ministry. "
"We support the actions undertaken responsibly and debate between students and teachers, which together provide a space for discussion and teaching activities and research;
express the sharpest opposition to fans of police interventions, when absolutely not justified, stressing the need to open a serious discussion table for institutional reform to establish a University and widely endorsed. "
The document stresses the importance of the authoritative position of President of the Republic in favor of dialogue between institutions and social forces and states that the strong reduction in the provision of funding ordinary and the freezing of the drastic turn over cause the rapid depletion of the teaching, research and administrative services.

Shark Invitation Sayings

SHAME!

I had promised not to write in qst blog content qlc concern in the way political ... but enough is enough ... after a series of discussions and exchanges with people who can not understand the point of view of the protesters are really annoyed me!
We are all aware of the demonstrations and protests of the university not to mention the primary, secondary and higher ... well ... we are all also aware of the reasons that have triggered a re-explain and I will not dwell ...
It seems appropriate to quote the words of the great Margherita Hack who gave a lesson in Piazza della Signoria in Florence in front of two thousand people ... It is of course from the students and teachers protesting ... and this lifts me up ... also be supported by an illustrious mind as she is not just!
"terrible This is an opportunity for our country. We are the false democracy, since the reform was made with a decree, which is not passed by Parliament and has not been discussed with those who work in schools or universities '. The Hack is hoped that the mobilization of many young ' open the eyes of those who still approves of this shameful government, of arrogant and ignorant . "Why has decreed" the death of university research and "in a country where" funding is already half the other European countries. " "We a good people of ignorance, we become a country in the process of underdevelopment .
do not need to say more ...
Indeed, one last thing about the claims of our "beloved" Prime Minister ... chilling words about the police in the universities to "flush out" the occupiers set and shamefully retracted the next day ... This is what our dear prime minister said thousands of students who are expressing their opposition to a law absurd and contestabilissima! CONGRATULATIONS!
But we are not afraid ... Indeed it seems that scared him ... come to threaten the intervention of the police ... ridiculous ... just to believe in his electorate of its desire to maintain some order that it was his government is not allowing that there is ... I repeat: RIDICULOUS! I shudder to hear these allegations ... but not all ... Cossiga you read what he said?? He let go and statements very troubling. He advised the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, a system to put an end to the protests of students who demonstrated against the reform Gelmini. The method of Cossiga also provides a broad public consensus.
The system is simple to implement: brutally beat demonstrators all! Of course, after obtaining the consent popular with devious methods. OK not!?

We carry part of the interview:

Cossiga: "Maroni should do what I did when I was Minister of the Interior.
(---> Refers murder of "Georgiana Masi?" The girl who in 1977 showed the anniversary of the victory of the referendum on divorce and was probably killed by a stray bullet fired by police on the Tiber in Rome, and on which the Interior Minister Francesco Cossiga deny 'in Parliament that the police had fired, despite photos and unequivocal evidence .... <---)
First, let go of high school students, why do you think about what would happen if a child remained severely injured or killed ... "

Journalist:" The university, instead? "

Cossiga: "Let them do it. Police forces withdraw from the streets and universities, infiltrate the movement with provoking agents ready for anything, and leave it for ten days or so demonstrators devastate shops, set fire to the machines and put the city on fire. "
(---> What is portrayed in the photographs of the event where he was killed Giorgiana Masi? One with the striped shirt? "[Armed undercover police officer that fuels the insurgency and was identified by name] <---)

Journalist: "After that?"

Cossiga: "After that, the strong popular support, the sound of ambulance sirens must be higher than that of the Police and Carabinieri car."

Journalist: "In the sense that ..."

Cossiga: "In the sense that the police should not have pity and send them all to hospital. Do not stop, so that then the judges would call them now at liberty, but also those teachers beat them and beat them stir. "

Journalist: "Even teachers? "

Cossiga:" Especially the teachers. "

Journalist: "The President, his is a paradox, no?"

Cossiga: "I'm not saying the elderly, of course, but the teachers so girls. He realizes the seriousness of what's going on? There are teachers indoctrinating children and bring them to the streets: a criminal attitude "

Journalist:" And she is aware of what they would say in Europe after treatment of Gender? Fascism in Italy again, they would say. "

Cossiga: Bullshit, this is the recipe for democracy: turn off the flame before the fire were blazing. "

Journalist: "What fire?"

Cossiga: "I am not exaggerating, I really think that terrorism will return to the bloody streets of this country."

These words are chilling and speak for themselves.
Cossiga speaks of infiltration by agents provocateurs in the student movement for fargli commettere atti di pura violenza criminal-terroristica per poi poter accusare di tali misfatti gli studenti. Evidentemente lui è molto pratico di queste cose!
Se poi Berlusconi e Maroni volessero far proprie queste indicazioni, sappiano che non si tratta di un rigurgito di Fascismo, bensì di una “ricetta democratica” . A pensarci bene, infatti, in quale altro Paese veramente democratico non farebbero come ha proposto Cossiga!?

What is Qi?



"is a wonderful interlude in our daily lives ..."




Certainly mission would be this: to make daily and indispensable to work out,
movement anywhere and everywhere.
The idea is not unhealthy, just think that in countries like China and Japan this happens, just look in the parks at dawn and found a large group of people who either are "Firm" or make harmonic movement and slow.
as and Taijiquan Qi Gong


make every day important enough to devote a bit of movement to stay healthy is not difficult.
In a book of Chinese medicine (Acupuncture paolo Councils, ed. Fabbri) cites "Good medical care for healthy people, those poor sick people."

When you are forced to treat diseases that developed a long time, we are already late, the harmony of our "universe" has failed, and it will take more time, constant care to retrieve the status of health.

It has often been attributed to the Power Qi, similar to many other disciplines that are all the rage for quite some time.
Pilates, Power Yoga, stretching and other applications. The main difference lies in the content. Imagine you see two vessels, very beautiful, the same shape, with the same colors and designs, but their content is seen by observing that one is full the other is "EMPTY
. The Power Qi is empty.

The scientific and philosophical aspects of the vacuum is very affascinante,
ma ciò che unisce il concetto di vuoto alle ginnastiche, è che ognuno di noi che rappresenta un universo (un vuoto) è in grado di esprimersi, comunicare, trovare la propria dimensione, non solo in quanto rappresentativa diacronica di noi stessi, ma come capacità CREATIVA del nostro essere.
Riportatevi alla memoria quando da piccoli (molto piccoli) ci capitava di ascoltare della musica e in un niente riuscivamo a creare passi e movimenti da farci sentire dei veri ballerini, o ancora attraverso i nostri disegni rendevamo dei capolavori artistici dei fogli imbrattati.
Siete riusciti a rievocare quel momento?
Se si, ascoltate le Vostre sensazioni, adesso! Rendere absolutely, not only pleasant and helpful (health etc.). expressive if

I Have A Mole That Hurts My Mole Hurts?

Pilates? ...

Pilates? ... Ah ... the man in his underwear!

he has


so sorry if I start this article, but if you go to look for images on the internet or books, are often portrayed in his image "mutant."
How
potete notare sia prima che dopo, amava esporsi in"MUTANDE".
Scherzi a parte, che non se la prenda nessuno, spesso mi domandano che cosa sia " sto Pilates
"?

Nasce nel 1880 a Dussendorf, in Germania, (muore nel 1967) e dedico la propria esistenza allo studio dell'educazione fisica (un pò come me). Ideatore del " METODO
". Suo padre era un ginnasta di origini greche vincitore di premi e sua madre una naturopata di origini tedesche. Originariamente il suo nome veniva pronunciato seguendo la derivazione greca di "Pilatu" ma poi venne cambiato in "Pilates". Questo causò a Joseph bambino molta pena perché i bambini più large mock him calling him "Pontius Pilate".

Joseph as a young was a sickly child suffering from asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever. To overcome both the effects of this ill health is the other children mocked him, he studied bodybuilding, diving, skiing and other techniques of gymnastics and developed a series of exercises. Yet he wanted to play sports to be physically active.

The Pilates Method (sometimes simply Pilates) is a training system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. Pilates wrote at least two books on the method Pilates: Return to Life through Contrology and Your Health: A Corrective System of Exercising That Revolutionizes the Entire Field of Physical Education.

Pilates called his method Contrology, with reference to the way the method encourages the use of the mind to control muscles. It is a program of exercises that focus on postural muscles, ie, those muscles that help keep the body balanced and are essential to providing support to the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises are becoming aware of breath and alignment of the spine by strengthening the muscles of the deep floor of the trunk, very important to help alleviate and prevent back pain. With this method of training not only strengthens the abdominal muscles but also strengthen the muscles near the spine and deeper around the pelvis. The core of the method is toning and strengthening of the Power House, that all the muscles connected to the body: the abdomen, buttocks, adductors and the lower back. The exercises are performed on the pad (Pilates Mat Work) should be slow, fluid and perfectly executed, must also be combined with proper breathing.

The Pilates method has no trademark registration for which every physical education teacher can bring the motor to his style and his personality, but you have to redo the basic principles of Pilates are six

  • Breathing always well controlled and guided by the aid of the teacher as in the practice of Yoga (specifically in the Pilates exercise and breathe in the beginning when the effort more you breathe out, unlike yoga, breathing in the nose and exhaling with both the nose and mouth of each year has its principal rhythm) (as in Power Qi) ;
  • the center of gravity, a synonym of Power House, seen as a center of force and control of the whole body (as in Power Qi) ;
  • the accuracy (as in Power Qi) , every movement must be as close to perfection and so it must be slow, a working closed circuit where the teacher must have continuous feedback by the student;
  • Concentration, attention and concentration in each exercise, the mind must be the supervisor for each body part (as in Power Qi) ;
  • Control, control over every part of the body, you should not make reckless moves and neglected (as in Power Qi) ;
  • Fluidity, (as in Power Qi) this principle is the synthesis of all the above concepts. At its most sublime Pilates is "poetry in motion" (p. 12 of the book "Pilates, the promise of a new body" Alyce Ungaro).


Some sets, this method (as in Power Qi) as an "art form", akin to martial arts and dance, as there is a constant common to pursuit of perfection (as in Power Qi)
.
It 'important to stress that his work is traditionally done in sessions.

This led to the widespread use of that method, as characters of the show, practicing, have obtained results on the shape, health, psychological well-being. Results that are kept constant (such as Power Qi)
. We are often slaves to fads, and here the work of more than 40 years ago back to talk. Figuras in countries like Italy, where the news always come with decades of history to follow.

But then, what is the difference between

Power Pilates and Qi?

What Soap Is Best For Women



In the Post, had earlier spoken of the Pilates Method, but we get into details principles that recognize the POWER IQ and that set it apart.

· CONCENTRATION (according to Pilates)

utmost attention and concentration in each exercise, the mind must be the supervisor for each body part.


· CONCENTRATION (according to Power Qi)

Before you can say what "concentration", should make an important premise, that assumption is the first step to conceive the principles of Qi Power (FP).

philosophy or reality?

Just as in the Zen philosophy

A page from the Zen and archery

A page from the famous novel-essay by Eugen Herrigel, speaks of the concentration on breathing and annoying situation in which, trying to do the inner silence, focusing on our breath, emerge a thousand thoughts, moods, feelings,
disturbing elements to the practice. Ma .. "[...] If
, continuing to breathe quietly, you accept with serenity what presents itself, you get used to assist with simple spectators, until it was finally tired of the show. So we come gradually to a state of abandonment that
resembles that drowsiness that precedes sleep.
slide in is definitely a danger that must be avoided. It deals with a particular step of concentration, comparable to that of a foregone, exhausted from a sleepless night, he knows that from the supervision of all its meaning depends on his life, and if this step is successful even once is able surely repeat it. For it the soul, like alone, finds himself almost hover by itself, a condition, able to grow in intensity, is raised even at that incredible sense of lightness, experienced only in rare dreams, and happy knowledge that they can awaken energies directed in any direction and know how to increase
or dissolve at all levels.
This state, where no one thinks, there is proposed, is not pursued, not want nor expect anything more definite, that does not tend toward any particular direction but who knows for his undivided strength to be able as possible of the impossible - this is entirely free to intentions, the ego, the Master calls itself "spiritual." It is full of spiritual vigilance and therefore is also called the "real presence of the spirit." This means that the spirit ende is present everywhere because they do not hang any particular place. And this may be because even when you r ivolge to this or that there will stick with the reflection and thus will not lose its original mobility. Similar to water filling a pond but is always ready to flow, whenever the spirit can act with its inexhaustible power because it is free and open to all because is empty. This condition is truly an original condition and the its emblem,
an empty circle, is not dumb for him who is inside. It is therefore with this
full presence and power of his mind untroubled by intentions, and were the most hidden, that man is he was released from all ties to engage in any art. "


"Listening"


The start of each lesson is aimed at preparing listening to the body. Every day our body is new, cells, tissues and emotions are different every moment, our physical condition can change at any moment, the "disruption" of our "world-body," change.

E 'to proceed with this first phase of establishing the "Koine" (includes in its definition of a dialect not only assumed by a particular inflection lexicon in relation to a geographical area, but also those particular forms that reveal character, shared or exclusive, which ignore the local agendas, if anything related to ethnos.), the dialectic, the coded language in order to relate the subjective way (moadalità) "mind-body."

At this point I can begin the "process " concentration.


"Process" , because it is an evolution that can lead to emotional states more advanced (eg, transit and / or self-hypnosis). But speaking of a "movement" gym, we run the repetition of gesture, namely " expressive movement."

Repeat the gesture (gym, athletic or artistic) makes significant factors and variations: the body is active in a differente man mano che il gesto si sviluppa, si attua un arrangiamento neuro-muscolare, che porta ad una riduzione della qualità del movimento, conferendo una non “perfezione” del movimento.

Figurate nella Vostra mente il gesto artistico di un danzatore, il gesto diventa capace di esprimere il “linguaggio” del corpo, delle emozioni.

Ritornando al punto di partenza, (“come un cerchio che tende a ricongiungersi creando un vuoto”), nello ZEN e il tiro con l’arco, non ha importanza se fai centro

“…Il tocco del Maestro aiuterà Herrigel to shake everything off, to remain 'empty' to accept, almost without realizing it, the only appropriate gesture, which is the center - what the Zen archers say: "A shot - a life." In such a blow, bow, arrow, target, and "I" are interwoven so that you can not separate them: the arrow shot into play throughout the life of the archer and the target is hit by the archer himself ... "

The word " Power" does not want to give force or power, is "intentionality capace ”, energia che muove energia e crea nuova energia (E = m x C²) ㋕.

PNF Stretching (FNP) isometric or eccentric

}
PNF


derives from the English words "Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation" which in Italian means
"Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (FNP). This method was developed by Herman Kabat American neurophysiologist at the end of the '40s as neuromuscular re-education.

Proprioception includes signals that have their origin sesnoriali including the receptors in muscles, tendons, ligaments and joint capsules (proprioceptors). It should be noted that recently the
neurology has shown that human proprioception dominates the vestibular system (balance organ formed from the inner ear), in contrast to what happens in other mammals. From this we can infer the importance of proprioceptive techniques.
The stretching in this system of stretching is isometric eccentric and is divided into four phases:

1.
It reaches its maximum elongation of the muscle or muscle group of the best, so gradual and slow.

2.
You run an isometric contraction of the muscle group for about 15-20 seconds (ie maintaining the position of maximum elongation). This allows, through the activation of
muscle-tendon Golgi organs (spinal reflex myotatic inverse), following a further relaxation, and then stretch the muscle group involved.

3.
Relax for about 5 seconds.

4. It stretches the muscle again
(previous contract) for at least 30 seconds.

The PNF stretching is widely used in rehabilitation therapy (re-education), but adds, significantly improving the effectiveness, including stretching exercises Classic (District) and global focus.
