You are not Ready for the Laughing Buddha


Buddha - the enlightened bringer of prosperity and calm.


Pewter - a metal allow, consisting of tin and copper, used to forge decorative items.


So a pewter Buddha should be all I need to make my journey into prosperity, health, calm and enlightenment.


But the Bravisa Gold Trimmed Pewter Laughing Buddha has exceeded my reach. It's greatness does not fall in with my budget.


Is this not a paradox?

Shouldn't I be forsaking my budget to achieve my Buddha?


And if I am worrying about my Buddha, does that mean that I need it MORE than I thought?


And is trimming the Buddha in gold sacrilege? In fact, is this or is this not a False God?


But on the other hand, isn't the Gold Trimmed Petwer Laughing Buddha laughing because he KNOWS that these questions will be asked...and their answers will never reach a meaningful conclusion?


In fact, is he not laughing becasue he KNOWS too much thought is going into the attaining of this wonderful 5" x 4" statue?


Has Yoga for Men enlightened me....or only led me FURTHER into the darkness called 'choices'?


AH! Gold Trimmed Pewter Buddha! You tooy with my Kharma! My very EXISTENCE is now in question! Should I persue the Buddha, the Budget or Both?!?!?!

Back Strength and Lumbar Support


What a lot of men do not realize is the importance of a healthy spine.

Sure, you look old and funny if you are walking around bent over like Igor...

But more importantly, the spine does more than just stand you up straight. Neuros/pain sensors, oxygen and blood all flow through the spine as it makes it way through the rest of your body.

Have you ever caught yourself sitting 'stooped over' after a period of time? and when you straighten yourself out, aren't you amazed by how good you feel? (In fact, I'm often ALARMED at just how hunched over I was!)

By keeping your posture strong and your spine healthy, blood and oxygen moves more easily through the body.

This is one of the BIGGEST principles of Yoga! Even the most Basic Yoga poses enhance stretching, reaching, flexibility and holisitc health.
No, you do not need blood thinners and diet supplements. You need to keep your entire body healthy and strong.
Outside of being conscience about your posture, there are many inexpensive, easy to use tools for ensuring a strong, healthy spine. Click to see the unit that Bravisa/Defmall offers .
In all, you need to do more than build a 'strong' spine. You need to build a healthy and flexible spine. It's good for more than just your back. It's good for your life!
