Saffron has been known since antiquity. It is grown as a spice since. Today it is still one of the most valued spices. At the time of antiquity it was actively produced in Macedonia, Persia, Kashmir. This is when they are installed in Spain that the Arabs introduced saffron in this country.

Commerce is developing with countries in the northern Spanish saffron was introduced in France, especially in the Gatinais. This region was able to recognize the high quality of saffron produced it for two centuries and the world price of saffron were fixed at Pithiviers. (Other sources attribute to the Phoenicians introduced saffron in Gaul or the Crusaders who have returned from the Crusades).

Saffron is grown in warmer regions but not in the tropics.

Nowadays saffron is grown in Spain, Greece, Morocco, India and Iran. It’s Spain who made the biggest production.

We grow a little in France. (In recent years several manufacturers have begun to cultivate again, reconnecting with an old tradition. Indeed, until not very old saffron was cultivated throughout the south-west and even into the region d ‘Orleans)

Saffron is the stigma of a flower (Crocus sativus) that are harvested in October and November in the morning. It is then dried. Saffron is sun drying artificial drying but retains its flavor better.

To obtain 1 kilo of saffron harvest it took no less than 200,000 flowers in hand. This explains why saffron is the most expensive spice in the world.

That is also why we must beware of false rudders that exist and provide a retailer with seriously. A low cost cache certainly a fraud.

In the Kitchen rudder is indispensable to bouillabaisse or paella, some risottos, soups, fish, the famous rust served with the soup, to name a few dishes.

I personally know a lady who has done all his life regime by depriving it of cheese, yoghurt, milk -.. eating only vegetables and meat boiled in water without calcium intake with any candy saccharin.

His obsession: I do not want to become as big as my aging mother.

She started at age 25, she now suffers from calcium deficiency, rheumatic pain.

The relief it is not possible without taking cortisone, which has necessarily fattening.

Years of deprivation to achieve the same or worse than his mother’s pain of being forced to relieve the pain medication that makes her grow inexorably, but mostly it clear that it is inconsistent for its deprivation of years have led to this result.

That is the danger of certain regimes but also an embarrassing failure in the long term.

Why does this not work?

I know some plans call for this kind of thing: lose weight by reducing the quantities.

In fact all or almost all plans are based on a decrease in your quantities or total change in your diet, they are undoubtedly effective in the short term, long term I’m not so sure.

But mostly they are often inadequate budget through French, their habits and also time for everyone who cooks has at his disposal.

Consider a typical day the French way:

A family of 4 two adults two children

Parents work, children go to school, sometimes eat lunch in the canteen and in the evening at home.

The morning is often a race against the clock:

A cafe in speed, a bowl of milk and cookies for children or cereal or fruit juice.

The French that breakfast is rare, it eats mostly bread and butter or jam or even spreads, a bowl of milk chocolate or coffee and not rarely tea.

he sometimes added a fresh fruit juice or bottled.

Noon to race again, a quick sandwich eaten in the office, a meal in a self business, and sometimes a warm meal prepared or kept warm in a box –. the canteen for children.

The last evening meal with family, television, sometimes a meal tray tv or a family meal where finally everyone will gather around the table quickly prepared a menu of pasta, ham, eggs – mashed packet The box of canned and frozen dish.

We can not condemn this practice in effect after 8 hours of work, children go to find the way to go –.. HARD consider spending two hours in the kitchen at night.

Then the weekend the French are catching up: it cooking fat, sugar and everything else, he overcomes.

All these situations you know, you live or have lived, you worry me too!

I also followed the plans, finally tried it, but how to make two different meals at night while one is not already obvious? how to eat a balanced lunch without having quickly tired of bland salads that do not take the body? how to prepare a full breakfast between the toilet and the youngest revision in the catastrophe of the greatest lessons not forget the clock is running and the work that does not wait?

It’s simple you make any arrangements and how to give up just as quickly.

Because this scheme does not belong to you you have not integrated it is too far to change your habits then yes but keeping your habits to You in the conscious choosing yes! you of the result

Who am I?

Before you make me confident about the ideas that follow it is important I think I present to you

You are reading this article gave a part of yourself (in time) and I think it is important that you know me before you read more.

In fact it is just 50 years and I have spent my life helping others why you today?

Because I was working in institutions and that I was not free to help people as I wanted

I spent several degrees I climbed the ranks to finally be able to help another, but certainly the institution offering me a salary certainly has not helped me realize, too much brake too much wheel to crush can finally express themselves so I took risks for you. I gave a fair fixed salary with a goal to finally be useful to others. of course I sold this book it is necessary that I eat (smile) paradox for a book on the plans but I wanted above all to share what I learned in 50 years time for the “blah blah” just feel useless to pass a message to all that everyone has a better future a future bright and sunny.

This eBook is sincerity that he may or may not help you but it has the merit of being true rarity in this world.

If I write that I’m sure he can help it would not exist otherwise.

After seeing a previous article in what meditation (meditation, what is it? (Part 1) “), come to practice.

Here are some tips that may help you if you want to meditate.

For meditation to be effective it needs to be gathered 5 elements: the calm, breathing, posture, concentration and time.

Calm:

For a meditation or productive, you must practice in the quiet, that is to say, try as much as you can, get away from the noise of daily life (traffic, television, radio, telephone, etc..). Sometimes, if you do not have a suitable room, you may be prompted to save the music quiet, zen. It allows you to isolate yourself from the outside world, to cover the external noise.

The sounds of nature (waves, birds, rustling branches) are not negative, quite the contrary. You can meditate in nature after some practice time.

Moreover, the complete calm is especially recommended when you begin. Indeed, little by little, to succeed to think as you get around more easily isolate yourself from the outside world.

Position:

Or rather positions. There is no position to meditate. You have to find one that suits you best, that seems to you more efficiently. Land-use you a place to meditate, clean and tidy, rather stripped to prevent your eyes from being “polluted” by objects.

You can meditate in a seated position: cross-legged on a carpet, a cushion on a bench for meditation on a chair, preferably without a back. You should be aware of your body. Your posture should be clear: head erect without stiffness, chin slightly tucked, chest stretched upwards. You must keep this position, so the monitor constantly. A force, it will be automatic.

You can also meditate standing: body upright. Always aware of your body and constantly monitor your position. The latter, which requires a perfect command, you can meditate everywhere, mainly in places rather poorly attended.

Another position you can meditate while walking (even just in your room). You must walk slowly, his body straight, both hands on your belly, eyes fixed on the ground. Again, you should be aware of all your movements, your breath. Each of your steps must be broken.

Finally, you can meditate lying down: flat on his back on a mat or firm mattress on a lawn, attach your knees close to your buttocks, head resting on a firm cushion, arms along the body. This position is not highly recommended as you may fall asleep and “spoil” your meditation session.

Breathing:

Respiration is the main point of meditation. You must control it and learn deep breathing and controlled. You should be aware of your breathing. Your objective is to score the different phases that are aspiration, expiration and pause in between. Breathing in and out deeply, you must follow the flow of air into your body.

.

The deep breathing and controlled you will find your calm, relieve stress, eliminate tension and especially concentrate. Soon you’ll be more relaxed. And you will realize that this new way of breathing will help you in all the circumstances of your life by restoring harmony between your body and your mind.

Small tip: to breathe, choose loose clothing, where you will not feel compressed sausage.

Concentration:

Another important point of meditation, concentration. You must learn to concentrate in order to ignore everything around you. It’sa bit like being in a bubble. You must take full vacuum. You should especially focus on you now and do not let you interfere with thoughts and stuff. You should not think about what you did yesterday, what you will eat tonight -

You only need to attach importance to the present moment. When you begin, you should avoid immediately seek Nirvana. You just need to learn to be aware of the moment. That is meditation. Later you can go further, you transcend such as yogis.

The best time to think about:

You can meditate at any time of day it is best done at night because it will allow you to digest your workday stress; you to crop. The morning is not a good time for a lot because you feel the stress from work, you’re not awake.

Your meditation session should not last more than 20 minutes. More would first require binding and especially the exceptional qualities of concentration.

Well, now your turn! Follow these tips and you will succeed in meditation, you focus, to find harmony between your body and your mind to deal calmly all the negative circumstances in your life.

Whatever type of relationship, friendship, love, work, it appears they may actually be a success until the moment that two important elements coexist: listening and communication.

A successful relationship, constructive can not exist without the presence of one or the other.

It seems obvious to many. But why is it so difficult for some to build relationships, keep them in time?

Most often, the lack of communication is highlighted. For example, a couple can no longer agree. One continually seeks to impose its views, ideas, beliefs.

The other can not issue its opinion and when he has the misfortune to do so, that’s where the arguments begin endless.

Why happens to be there?

Generally, it is the lack of listening that is behind everything. Listening is vital in relationships. Of course, it must be performed correctly and most sincere. Do not say “I’ll listen because he or she is happy and at the same time think of something else (what am I going to do to eat tonight?, Making your shopping list, think to call someone, etc.). Do not hear, he must listen!

Listening must be absolutely sincere it is constructive.

Of course, listening does not mean accepting everything that you said.

After you finish listening to your partner, you can advance arguments that contradict this, but after he finished his remarks.

The bottom line is learning not to interrupt the speaker just because you disagree or you want the abbreviated conversation quickly.

This indicates a lack of respect for that person, or a lack of love against him.

It is not always good to try at all costs to impose its ideas, its views in a relationship. The latter is built for two. Attempt to impose his ideas without question, is trying to dominate the other, so it destroy the whole relationship.

Of course, listening to sincere, constructive takes time. If you really want, deep within yourself, a relationship to succeed, you will always find the time. It is valid in the couple but also between parents and children, between friends.

And from the moment you’ve learned to listen sincerely, communication will be only better. The frictions are less numerous, less systematic, there is less risk of misunderstandings or misinterpretations. The relationship will only be more beautiful and certainly more harmonious.

- I am a wife of 40 years, I am married and have two very nice children who work very well in school. I just bought a house – the house of my dreams – spacious, bright. I have a job that satisfies me and gives me very comfortable income for me to buy what I want. But I am not happy.

- I am a wife of 37 years, I have a friend who did much for me at home. I have a big house, a pretty cool job with a good salary. My parents are healthy. But I feel I’ll never be entitled to happiness.

- I am a woman almost 40 years, I have a job, but gives me a very modest income. I was even Rmiste some time, which is far from obvious in financial terms. We must learn to tighten their belts. Yet despite this, I am, mostly, happy.

These two types of people you probably know: the eternal dissatisfaction and those who appreciate even the smallest moments of happiness.

The eternal dissatisfaction have all the material wealth, a lovely family, work okay but they feel unhappy. They do not realize how lucky they are. They always want more and they usually have a knack for complaining about their lives “disastrous” to unemployed people who are struggling to make ends meet, who live in very small places, without comfort, sick and living alone, etc..

In contrast, others who are happy “despite everything, have resolved to stop constantly lament and say that despite the difficulties, problems, there are moments that can make them happy. Thus, a ray of sun, a bird that sings, a well cooked meal, a walk in the countryside, a discussion between friends, a family reunion, a good book, a song on the radio, etc.. makes them happy and they really give the impression that life is worth to be lived anyway.

Precisely what the eternal dissatisfaction had trouble getting. For them, they were not enough, there are always people around them who have more than them. They have identified it, mostly as poor people despite their comfortable situation, as people abandoned despite the support of their spouses and their families. In short, as people to whom it happens all the misfortunes. Thus, they are always bitter, sullen, sad fate of their enviable and yet do not even notice they have everything to be happy, that many would take their place.

Attention to some eternal dissatisfaction, this mindset could be beneficial. It should enable them to advance, to accomplish great things. In fact, always wanting more, they should struggle for the life they truly desire.

But unfortunately, they have everything and they are not yet satisfied. So even if they have even more, they continue to complain, to be dissatisfied with their lot. Moreover, as they will not stop being unhappy, it will be very difficult to advance. They are prevented by their discomfort.

Instead, those who are happy “despite everything” seem to have a better chance of escape, because success is not easy to create, build something when you’re happy? Their mood is lighter, more open, more so conqueror.

Anyway, those eternal dissatisfaction do they really know what would make them happy? I think not. As they see everything in black, it is not even sure if they took down the moon, they would be happy.

Of course, these people are not to blame for the depths of themselves, they are really unhappy and create problems where there is none. For them to come to escape, he would have something or someone opens their eyes. Hopefully they understand before they happen “a real misfortune that life is not always wanting more but enjoy the small moments of happiness.

Only if they radically change of mindset, they will be happy and can live more genuinely and daring.

Remember, happiness is here and now!

As the saying goes very well known, “music soothes the savage breast.”

I do not know you, but I think it’s very hard to do without music.

The music produced all sorts of emotions. While listening to a song or an opera or a symphony orchestra, you can go from laughter to tears. Thus, an instrument moves me particularly, cello. On the other hand, listening to songs by Lynda Lemay, for example, I can smile and the next song, I can be affected.

But for me, music has another function, it allows me to concentrate more easily. When I have a book or an article to write, I log on Deezer (site plays music for free), I lower the sound and I start to think and write -. From the moment I do realize even more account of what I listen, I can say I am totally focused. Of course, all music does not help me in my concentration too rhythms, percussion are too discouraged. Right now, I listen mainly Reggiani.

I’m sure some of you, it is inconceivable that you listen to music while working. But everything depends on individuals –

In any case, one thing is certain music brings emotions to everyone, more or less strong. It leaves no one indifferent and it is extremely rare to encounter individuals who do not like music or who do not listen. It is part of life, it is sometimes rooted in us.

The music produced great benefits to our bodies and our spirits. In times of stress, listening to soft music, relaxing soothe you immediately and you will feel better afterwards. Conversely, if you are tired, listen to upbeat music (why not disco, revived the day now, a good Abba, for example) and you would take the bull by the horns, as they say.

The virtues of music are also increasingly recognized to the extent that the medical community uses it for therapeutic purposes. This is called music therapy. Whether in the perinatal period, during or after childbirth, in times of deep crisis or serious illness, music helps patients cope better events and pains.

Thus, the eight-month fetus reacts to sounds and music rather serious, but nothing proves that they will be smarter if they had heard during the pregnancy of classical music. However, listening to soft music and relaxing during pregnancy allows the mother to relax and relax more easily. Similarly, to soothing music during childbirth it will deliver in greater serenity.

Beyond his side relaxing, soothing music can also serve as therapy. It would help the patient get better. In France, unlike other European countries, music therapy is not a medical discipline in its own right. However, it seems that the music sounds rather some very particular style of whale songs, songs of birds, sounds of sea, nature, etc.. are effective to support the cure or relief of some patients.

The music would thus relieve pain, reduce stress, relieve certain disabilities, to soften some cases of dementia. As it has a certain calming effect, it reduces stress and releases endorphins, which have sedative and analgesic properties.

In addition, music can open outwards and communicate with others. It would be particularly effective for autism, since it stimulates, gives them confidence and makes them more “sociable”.

In France, there are many therapists, specialists in music therapy. As with everything, if this discipline interests you, beware, do not come first. Try before you learn to not be dealing with a cult. In addition, contact the specialist as well as no one reacts the same way listening to the same piece of music, you must find the right person who will guide you better in selecting music that will help you get better.

Anyway, even without going to music therapy, can you, yourself, you concoct small live music that will help you soothe or stimulate you. Make and full of emotions and you’ll feel better in your life. To quote Nietzsche, “Without music, life would be a mistake.”

This is not always easy to be loved and to love.

Knowing the truth, the great Love is not given to everyone. Sometimes he appears before us and we do not recognize. Sometimes we think the experience we have immersed themselves in the relationship and everything ends at once – because it was ultimately not good. Sometimes you idealize love so great, we ended up missing out on stories.

The great love is he really? Is this not a fantasy imagined by the authors of fairy tales?

When we look around us, it is not obvious that the great love is the prerogative of the majority. Separations, divorces, family dramas are proof.

But is it so far, to give great love?

I would answer both no and yes.

No, because it is difficult to give up especially when it experienced a failure in love. This will keep the hope. Now, living without hope that things will get better, will improve no doubt, is difficult.

Yes, because wanting to know the price all great love is to renounce small living stories that love can be, ultimately, very enjoyable. It may also be setting the bar too high and make demands too high, it is wanting to make their relationship something perfect. Now, everyone knows that nobody is perfect and it’s not because his partner or his partner has small flaws that should stop everything. Things can change. By putting his own and trying not to constantly seek perfection, harmony can be installed within the couple. In this case, Love will evolve and transform over time, with great love.

Of course, there are people who know and live the truth, the great love. Sometimes they wait a long time, they thought no more. They had even given up. In this case, it can only be big and strong. It falls on them as they have not really tried. This is perhaps the key criterion for the great love really exists.

Indeed, too much to be desired, we end up missing. As it does not come early enough, it ends up devaluing, lose confidence, by telling himself that it is zero, we will never know love – and this will eventually happen . Indeed, it is what you think. All these negative thoughts will accrue to you, your character, your behavior and you will flee, unwittingly, people.

So to experience the great love, do not think, do not try at all costs, adopt a positive attitude, have confidence in you and you will attract eyes on you. You can only be appreciated. And, finally, is not the only way to meet the person who will share your life with whom you build your future?

To understand the purchasing behavior of consumers, a new technique emerged in the early 2000s in the United States and has recently appeared in France. This is the neuromarketing. As its name implies, this method combines two elements: neuroscience and marketing.

This is to analyze the brain activity of consumers view a product (at the time of his act of purchase) or by advertising, using a scanner (MRI). According to the inventors of this sophisticated technique, when a person buys such a product, it means she wants a strong, and in this case, the MRI, it appears clear that a particular part of the brain is stimulated: it is the putamen, which is the seat of pleasure and immediate and instinctive part of the “unconscious zone” on the brain.

The excitement of consumers are somewhat crude but may be troubled by his environment, his conscience. That is why the old methods of marketing based on polls, the tests appear unreliable because it decides that the mouth may be different from what the brain feels now (the design, the idea that there is a brand – can change everything!)

With this discovery, companies (like Coca-Cola, U.S. banks) have decided to analyze the responses obtained through their products to better adapt to them and their advertising to “taste” of consumers.

The neuromarketing appears as a new branch of marketing. It’s like the El Dorado for businesses. What’s more magical than going into the brains of consumers to know exactly, precisely what and how to sell them.

This opens the way for new advertising campaigns of another kind: more focused, more attentive to the desires of consumers – The neuromarketing would become the panacea –

But is not this too rosy a picture of this new marketing technique?

Indeed, from the outset, we note something very questionable: with neuromarketing, using the techniques of science, namely MRI, for purely commercial. Medical ethics opposes strongly elsewhere. Safeguards the rest have been put in place to monitor the use of neuromarketing in the United States.

Moreover, the idea of manipulation is underlying, pervasive. Now who said manipulation, deception said. The aim of companies is to manipulate the brain so that the consumer buys the product. There, with the neuromarketing, handling seems more profound: it is the primary emotions, almost unconscious of consumers who are targeted. Therefore, it runs the risk of being operated without his knowledge!

Then, finally, neuromarketing is it safe for consumers?

It does not appear, at least for now.

Indeed, few companies have used since neuromarketing studies are very expensive (the MRI does not lie in any street corner!). Moreover, companies that control them prefer to quietly because the opinion is unfavorable to the idea that we can enter such a way into his brain.

Certainly, companies have rushed into this niche “juicy” but upon closer inspection, studies have suggested anything truly scientific.

Anyway, is it that easy to manipulate the minds of people? Apparently not. The act of purchase is extremely complex and comes in a multitude of factors other than the immediate pleasure and instinctive.

Finally, the neuromarketing appears, for now, just as a new way of marketing as a new way for companies to sell more. It just seems to open the way for new ads that will act differently on the consumer: they will aim to boost our implicit memory, to leave traces in our brain without one is really aware. Another kind of manipulation can be?

Some people come to work in noise, to write books with music, writing fabulous speech with a crowd around them, to break records in a manic stage or hostile. How do they succeed?

They come with their power of concentration.

They come to isolate, to go somewhat deep within themselves.

Concentration is the power of focusing on one specific thing while ignoring everything that surrounds us is the mental control of his body and mind.

Concentration is necessary for human progress, to succeed more reliably and faster, easier to achieve its objectives. The concentration can not be dispersed in all directions ( “how puzzle”) and not lose sight of the essence, the goal. It is always difficult to properly perform several things at once.

The man who knows how to concentrate, which focuses on her work or her task, succeeds. It will not be disrupted by external factors that will prevent him from advancing. It will delight his employer, his associates because he will do his work without interruption and especially with more speed, more performance.

But the power of concentration is not only useful in life. In private life, social, but also a valuable ally. It avoids falling into depression while hunting from our mind the dark thoughts. If these were the bad idea to interfere in our brain, it suffices to focus on positive thinking, happy, to make it disappear inevitably. If you’re mentally tired at the end of the roll, he must perform an activity such as reading, painting – By focusing on it, shows that the brain regenerates, the ugly thoughts disappear or are less present. Of course, the obsessive thought is still there in a corner of the brain but is less involved, less crippling and does more to advance.

The merger is just a matter of will and practice. Some make it easy (at home, it is a reflex innate), others more difficult. They must learn the technique and train regularly.

To do this, there are two basic rules:

- Isolated from the outside world, not to be disturbed by external factors.

- Full control of the body and mind. The mind must control the mind and body must itself be controlled by the will. These three interlocking elements that achieve perfect concentration.

Finally, the key is to perform each activity without having their minds elsewhere. This can then be satisfied with ourselves because the task has been completely accomplished. The work, even the most banal, even the most ungrateful, has been achieved without distractions, without wasting unnecessary time to think about different things often negative.

All the power of thought, will lead to a whole towards a precise point so it is natural that the success is the appointment.

Concentrate and you will succeed!
