    salt crystal deodorant stone is pretty great

    "Crystal" deodorants are typically made from mineral salts, such as potassium aluminum sulfate (also known as potassium alum)

    It has aluminum in it, I can't use that :/

    Thank you so much kara_mia I have been doing a lot of research on this, I am still doing research before I post anything here. I thank you for your input and I will include those ideas in my research. I've never even heard of corneotherapy before. 

     

    Thank you so much!

    I consider good manners and impeccable hygiene essential to a cordial daily life.

    I'm having trouble finding good products for men that have a good natural impact on my body. Let's just say as I have meditated I have also slowly become more sensitive to the chemicals I have put in and on my body. Anything that goes on my skin eventually absorbs and becomes part of me so I don't want any hazardous chemicals. Does anyone know anything about this?

     

    There is the Environmental Working Group's Cosmetic Ingredient Database that rates the chemicals used in every day products according to safety for your body. 

    Please women feel free to post your personal selections as well, it may help us all out.

    Boy do I have a lot to learn here, I have really just been practicing breathing as a release and observation of the subtle sensations in the body for the last 10 years. What is Bagua Zhang?

    Hello home,

     

    I am a new student, you've probably been lurking way longer than I've been here, honestly I am in the lurking phase and just posting in the welcome forums for a bit while I read up on topics. It's easy to "be a good person" it just takes time and dedication, don't put too much thinking into it, writing about being good doesn't make you good either, it's something that has to be a verb in your life, not so much a concept. It sound like you have strong humility and courage already, I think you kind of hit the nail on the head when you said you should just relax and not try so hard to strive for something that is already in you. Self control is key. :)

    I am an experienced meditator,   having done so for about 10 years now daily, I am entering a new phase in my life where I want to practice celibacy, that has lead me to this site, I'm still fairly young (late 20s) but I really want to have my life take on new meaning and depth/heights.

     

    Please take a moment to stop here and say hello, drop some of your favorite all time threads in here, and private message me if you wish to be my tutor/mentor. I am searching the last few years for someone to teach me worldly knowledge, historical, esoteric, tao, religions, science, medicine. I am a passionate learner. I can even possibly compensate you for your time tutoring me, I am hoping this was meant to be. 

     

    Thanks,

    5am
