What is the Mediterranean diet?
Simply put this diet is eaten by people who live in countries that border the Mediterranean sea. Eating styles vary here but a few common factors are there. It is noticed that fewer deaths occur due to a heart attack. Extensive research was done. The reason was simple. A traditional diet which included Herb, nuts , vegetables and whole grains was the reason. Saturated and trans fats are not eaten. This is common sense but I guess common sense is not common.
Olive Oil
This is liquid fat got from olives. This is a traditional tree crop of the Meditteranean. This is used for frying food or used for salads. This is found to reduce t.otal cholesterol and has low-density lipoprotein.
Red Wine
Red wine in small quantity is good. It it is recommended that people should have red wine since it is good for the heart.

Swami Vivekananda as most people know was a Hindu. He introduced the Indian philosophies of Vedanta and yoga to western world. But few know about his book on mediation.
Mediation according to yoga.
Mediation is the power to resist things. Nature introduce us to a beautiful smell .I tell myself don’t smell it and the nose does not. When you mediate you can change all this .It is an attempt to change all this.
Change to getting freedom will come.
This about that change .Changing anything is difficult.
The mind is a strange thing .It keeps on wandering away here and there. It might wander off to places where you have been .This will be stopped by the power of mediation. If we can control the mind we can control anything.
Before any meditation methods it is important to know where to mediate. Otherwise it is no use to meditate.
These ideas will work since they have worked for me. Try to follow these ideas as closely as
you can.
The environment to mediate
All these things will help in the mediation
Whenever you are miserable or your mind is distributed, enter this room and you will be calm.
Time for mediation
Try to practice at least twice every day .Best times are towards morning and evening. These are times of calmness.
Now if you are ready now repeat and i quote “ Let all beings be happy , let all beings be peacefully let all beings be blissful. Do this to the north, south, east and west. When you continue to do this you will feel better.i tired this for a few days and saw it made me feel better.If you believe in god than pray.
Next look at your body and see how healthy it is.
Another example of mediation
Look at your heart, Think there is Space in your heart. In the middle of that space think that there is a flame that is burning .Inside this flame there is another flame.and that is your soul. Meditate on that. I know this is confusing when you read it for the first time. But keep on practicing it and you will understand it better.
There is another method of meditation :
First sit in the position that you can sit in for a long time. All the currents that are working pass along the spine. The spine is not intended to support the weight of the body. So the posture must be such that the weight is not on the spine.
In the end I would say meditation is a means of controlling your mind . Practice meditation for months to benefit from it. Remain cheerful and yes patience is the greatest virtue that man can have. You will see great transformation through meditation.
This book has lots of meditation methods. Try all and see which works for you.

Courage and determination are two pillars of any given life. We need these two when we are dealing with covid
I found a book recently dealing with courage. We all have witnessed or read what Hilter did.
Image your kids are in danger. Would you risk everything? I would.
Ariella Bannon had married a jew. But peter her husband disappeared one day. He is believed to be dead. The Jewish community watched in horror as Hilter leased a reign of terror on the jews. Liesl and Erich are Ariella’s children. She is scared for them and for herself. Then she remembered that Peter had a cousin in Liverpool.
A family friend arranges for them to leave on Kindertranport.
But she could not find words to tell the children all this. Crying she put the photos of herself and Peter in the suitcase.
Every Jews dreaded the knock on the door. It meant that you had done something wrong and could be taken away.
Imagine what she must have felt as she decides that the children must go to Elizabeth.
If you were told to go to a country with new customs and language, would you not find that frightening. Liesel and Erich felt the same way when they found out that they were to live with Elizabeth.. But I got inspiration from all this.
The children came and started living with Elizabeth. Slowly but surely the children got adjuted to life in Liverpool.
The story is touching and to be read.
