last night we went to see fireworks display at nagatoro, country side.
in the summer evening, we enjoyed fireworks and the breeze from the river ...wish i could say so, but in fact...
hey, the temperature was 37℃ at around 3p.m. here, and the floor of the place was rocks...(nagatoro is known as the sightseeing area with the beautiful river and the beautiful rocks)can you imagine? the terrible heat kept the floor hot even at the night, so we saw fireworks just like being at the hotstone spa in the nature...too hot, we were almost faint...!!! (but the fireworks display was really really fantastic!!!)

Foot Reflexology
Foot reflexology is "pressure therapy" and involves applying focused pressure to certain known reflex points located in the foot to cure or prevent disease. Foot reflexology is based on the premise that our nerve zones or reflex points go from the bottom of our feet to the top of our head, encompassing all vital organs on the way.
Neck & Back Massage
A massage is the most basic of all healing techniques. Studies indicate that this touch therapy reduces stress, depression, lessen pain and boost the immune system. A back massage is the most preferred massage treatment as poor spine, postural defects and sleeping disorders are effectively addressed through this simple, nurturing and powerful touch therapy.
Swedish Massage
Swedish body massage is the original massage technique involving a sequence of movements working superficially and deeper into the tissue layers. The main purpose of Swedish massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Massage helps in flushing the tissues of harmful deposits such as lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes . Swedish massage also stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable, and stimulates the skin and sooth the nervous system at the same time. As a treatment it helps reduce stress, both emotional and physical, and is often suggested in a program for stress management. It also has many specific medical uses.
Balinese Massage
A Balinese massage uses a combination of gentle stretches, acupressure. Aroma oils used in the massage stimulate the flow of blood, oxygen and energy around your body, and bring deep relaxation and wellness. Massage is a rigorous and luxurious spa treatment and a great one to choose if you want to experience a variety of massage techniques, relax and feel spiritually renewed at the same time. Balinese massage is related to the ancient Ayurveda, the Indian holistic medical system.
Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is an ancient science of healing, relaxing and energizing by the use of plants and their parts. The roots, barks, flowers, fruits, seeds and nuts play a crucial part in this massage. The word aromatherapy is derived from two words aroma which means smell and therapy which stands for healing and overall relaxation and wellbeing.
Thai Massage
Thai massage is an ancient healing art. Through application of pressure on energy lines and points, and a vast array of passive stretching movements performed with the hands, feet, knees and elbows, the body experiences profound relaxation, peripheral stimulation of internal organs, increased flexibility and increased flow of energy. Thai massage is that you get the flexibility, inner organ massage, oxygenation of the blood and quieting of the mind that is attained with yoga. Through deep muscle stretching, joint release and emphasis on breath, Thai massage offers many of the same benefits as yoga.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is a particularly effective massage for people with muscular pain. Massage helps to refresh and relax muscles, increasing the blood flow and therefore the oxygen flow around your body. This gets rid of toxins in very sore and strained muscles, which helps them to strengthen and heal. Deep tissue massage is often used to treat people who are recovering from accidents, and for sports injuries as it increases blood circulation in muscles that are underused, relieves chronic muscle tension throughout the body, and can also break down scar tissue and "knots" deep in the muscles.
Ayurveda Massage
According to Ayurveda each individual is a combination of the 3 doshas namely vata, pitta and kapha. These 3 govern the metabolic activity in an individual. The detoxification methods like panchakarma and other health remedies ( herbal) when applied wholly/singly make the body, more responsive to medicines thereby hastening the healing process. Various yogasanas achieve, the twin propose of strengthening the body, vital organs like heart, liver etc. as well as keep the physical and psychological condition strong. Not only do the herbal remedies play an important role in internal health and well being but also external health and beauty which is quite evident from the overall appearance.
One of the most important reasons for increasing use of Ayurveda in beauty and skin care is that this system can clearly bring out a youthful clear skin in conjunction with happiness and relaxation which otherwise can’t be achieved by cosmetics. A well regulated lifestyle along with suggesting a discerning diet according to ones doshas will go a long way to strengthen ones natural immune system. Ayurveda is perhaps the first such system that recognises that all diseases are, but the direct manifestations of one’s mental conditions. Any disturbance in the 3 states of human mind (Trigunas) namely Satwa, Rajas as and Tamas manifests in the form of physical illness.

I particularly enjoyed Barbara Luel's interpretation and tribute to Banksy and his famous " Wrong War " work. which began my idea for creating this mosaic....
Although not seen so well here, ( due to square cropping of mosaic tiles ) we can link to the photopage, where the flowers and words are seen perfectly..... Barbara Luel's
As well as the art, realism and beauty of the different photos, there is also represented here the devastated city of Aleppo, Syria... A USAID photo of a bread oven there ... It looks so satisfying, yet so many hundreds of people needed bread for survival which they could not get.....
There is also here, a now famous village / town called Bil'in and larger area of the Palestinian West Bank border area ...and one of the remaining family members of Bassem Abu Rahma killed by a tear gas cannister during a peaceful march.. His young son lights the fire ready for preparing bread and a meal.
Each Friday, at Bil'in and other villages, there is a peaceful Non-Violence Resistance march along the land and it is walked well inside the dividing wall, on the Palestinian side, ( of course the other side was/is Palestine too ) and yet tear gas, 'rubber' bullets, arrests and armoured vehicles and well armed IOF Israeli soldiers are here too. ( Israeli Occupation Force ) . There is never any peace... Many of these IOF personnel have never even spoken to a Palestinian in their lives ...
Without the presence of International visitors and activists, casualties would be far higher... although visitors are not safe either....
The round bread which we see baking is cooked on hot stones ( not on coals as we might first think ).... The heat from the stones being sufficient to cook but not ( hopefully ) burn the bread......A simple life which has been so disrupted over the years....This particular family is living at Beit Ommar just south of Bethlehem...and north of Hebron.... Palestine.
The Lavash ( Ukraine but other names in different places ) is a soft, thin flatbread popular in several countries of the northern parts of the Middle-East and the southern parts of the Caucasus.
The robust colour of figs and clay pots adds a real richness to the photo....
I enjoy the silvery look to winter leaves created by Zsaj who has a unique way of processing most things.
I hope you enjoy the Mosaic .....

If any of you are moved or interested by the conflict in the area of Palestine near to the Separation Wall ; keen to understand a little more and to hear from one man speaking of his life, his friends, the economic and psychological effects of ' The Wall ' particularly on his small children then please do watch this following video... At the end, he talks of the effect upon his children and how it also causes him to struggle in his explanations to the young ones and how to try to alleviate their pains and fears..... Thank you.
