An ancient secret 

"FRESH SOURCE" CONTENT PART I

          One afternoon a few years ago, when I was reading a newspaper in the park, an elderly man appeared. He came closer and sat down next to me. He looked almost weeks old, with a bald head, loose shoulders and a full body on the stick. At the time, I did not expect that this meeting had changed my life completely.   

After a while, we enjoyed chatting together. From the story, I learned that this man was a retired British army officer and had previously served in the Royal Family's diplomatic service. That's why he had the opportunity to travel around the world. And Colonel Bradford - I'll call him that, even though this is not his real name - has fascinated me with his adventure stories.   

That day, when we parted we agreed to meet again and soon we became 2 best friends. On subsequent meetings, we often chatted or argued with each other until late at night, sometimes at a restaurant of his choosing, sometimes at my home.   

On one of these occasions, I suddenly realized that Mr. Bradford wanted to reveal something important, but he was still hesitant to speak. So for your peace of mind, I assure you that you can say what is bothering you and I promise to keep the story confidential. After some thoughtful thought, Mr. Bradford slowly looked at me, and then with increased confidence, he began to speak.   

According to Mr. Bradford, a few years ago, when he was in India, he had the opportunity to interact with nomadic groups living in remote areas of this continent and he heard many strange stories. about their life and customs. Here, in a district where he had set foot, there was a peculiar peculiarity that caught his attention and he heard many people here repeatedly; But the strange thing is that people in other districts don't seem to hear about it.   

It is related to a group of lamas (Tibetan monks) and according to the story, this group of lamas holds the secret of the "Young Source". For thousands of years, this strange secret has been transferred and preserved for generations of members of this monastery. And while not seeking to hide, but because the monastery is located deep in a mountain cavity of the Himalayas, so really cut off completely to the outside world.   

So for the people of that district, the monastery has long ago been the secret of the "Spring of Youth" has become a myth. Like fairy tales, they told of the strange men who had regained their vigor and strength after finding the monastery and living there. Unfortunately, no one in their group could know exactly where the monastery was located. 

 Like most people, when he turned 40 years old, Colonel Bradford's body also began with the aging process and from then on he did not see any signs of freshness rising again. The more he heard about the miraculous "Spring of the Source", the more convinced he was that there must be that monastery. So he sought to gather a lot of information about the geography, climate, characteristics of the territory and other data to determine where the monastery was located. And while rushing like that, he became more and more obsessed with the secret "The Spring of Youth" and was bound to find it to be fair. 

As he told me, the impetus became so intense that he decided to go to India to personally search for the monastery and the secret to youthfulness. And Colonel Bradford asked if I wanted to go with him. Usually I was always the first to suspect such a seemingly unthinkable thing, but in his words and actions Bradford was a completely honest person, and the more he heard him talking about the secret "The Young Spring of Youth" "I am even more convinced. At one point I tried to follow Mr. Bradford into the search, but then after considering the matter, I gave some reasons to decline his invitation.   

However, shortly after saying goodbye to Mr. Bradford, I began to wonder if my decision was right or not, and in order to be safe with myself, I thought it was wrong to try to win the progress. Aging process. Perhaps we should patiently enter the age and do not imitate others, demanding too much in life. Defending myself with the theory just mentioned, yet in my heart, I was still obsessed with the secret of "Spring of Youth". To be honest, I still consider it a strange, intriguing idea, and I hope Mr. Bradford can find it!   

As time went by and with daily chaos, the image of Mr. Bradford and his story had almost faded in my memory. Then one afternoon, when I returned home I received a letter from him. I hurriedly opened and read the letter that seemed to have been written in an outrageous joy. Mr. Bradford said that although there were difficulties and delays, he believed that he would soon find the secret "The Fresh Source". He did not give the address to reply to the letter, but I was relieved that at least he knew he was still alive.   

Then many more months passed, when the second letter came, my hands almost trembled when I opened it. For a moment, I thought I couldn't believe what was written in the letter. It was better than I expected. Not only did Bradford find the secret of the "Young Source", he also brought it home and will be coming in the next two months.   

So 4 years have passed since I met my friend. And I began to wonder how Mr. Bradford has changed in the past four years. Will "the Spring of Youth" help you stop the flow of age? Does he still retain the appearance of the last time I saw him? Or how will he disappear after 4 years?   

Finally the opportunity to answer these questions has come. One night, I was home alone, when the phone rang. When he picked up the phone, there was a voice of the janitor saying: "Colonel Bradford wants to see you". Stunned and amused, I said, "Please have him come immediately for me." A moment later, there was a bell and I hurriedly opened the door, but at that moment I was disappointed and shocked to find that in front of me not Colonel Bradford, but someone else, much younger. Noticing my surprise, the stranger said, "Surely you did not expect myself?" 

Hearing that, I replied puzzledly: "Yes, I thought you were someone else." The guest said in a friendly tone: "But I thought I would be warmly welcomed! Come on, look closely at my face. Should I introduce myself?"   

Looking at the man standing in front of me, my mood changed from embarrassment to disbelief and then I slowly realized that he had the same wear and tear that Colonel Bradford had when he was young. Instead of a pale gray man in front of me, hunched over a cane, now a tall, straight man with a robust face and thick black hair, with a hint of dew. Colonel Bradford said: "This is me but no one else! If you didn't invite me into your house, then I think your conduct is to blame. ” Relieved and amused, I hugged Bradford and impatiently poured out a series of questions. "Please wait," said Bradford happily. "Please calmly breathe, then I will tell you what happened." And then he began to tell.   

According to Mr. Bradford, as soon as he arrived in India, he went directly to the district where people heard the legend of the legend "Young Spring". Fortunately, he also knew a little bit of the vernacular so he could live for months in this area and get to know the people here and so he slowly tracked down. This was a long, slow process, but in the end, through perseverance, he achieved his goal. After a long and unpredictable expedition into the remote part of the Himalayas, he found the monastery that, according to legend, holds the secret of longevity and perfect rejuvenation. 

I just hope that time and space can allow me to record what Bradford went through after being admitted to the monastery. However, I realize that it may be better for me not to write them down here because those things seem more magical or magical than reality. The rituals practiced by lamas, their culture and their separation from the outside world are things that people living in the world of our age can hardly understand and grasp.   

In the monastery, Mr. Bradford saw no sign of anyone and for a long time the lamas had not seen anyone, so they happily called Mr. Bradford an "old man". . To them he was a symbol for something so strange. Then Mr. Bradford continued: "For the first two weeks after I entered the monastery, I had the impression that I was no different from a fish scooped out of the water. I was constantly amazed at what I was seeing and sometimes. I thought it was unbelievable in my eyes, and soon I found myself getting better; I could sleep well every night and when I woke up in the morning I felt healthier and more abundant. And just like that, a short while later, I realized that I only needed to use the cane during my climbing.   

"One morning, when I was in monastic life I had one of the greatest surprises in my life. That day was the first time I entered a large, neatly organized room; this was the library, There is a huge mirror on the other end of the monastery where a big mirror hangs in. Because for the past two years I have lived and lived in this remote area only, I have no chance to look at myself in the mirror; and curiosity moved me to walk towards that mirror. "I stared in the mirror, seemingly unbelievable. My appearance changed too much and I felt like I was 15 years old. For years I have been puzzled whether the "Spring of Youth" is a real thing or not. Yet now, before my eyes, there is concrete evidence for that fact.   

"I could not describe my excitement and joy back then. In the weeks and months that followed, my appearance became so young that everyone noticed that change and didn't. how long no one would call me "old man" anymore. Speaking of wire, Mr. Bradford had to stop because of a knock on the door. I opened the door, picked up a couple of guests and thought, even though they were people "Good friend, but it has really come at no time. Trying to hide my annoyance, I introduced them to Mr. Bradford and we sat down for a chat. Then, Mr. Bradford stood up and said:" Because there's one appointment so I regret not being able to sit and talk longer with you. I look forward to seeing you in the near future. " 

Then, when I took Mr. Bradford to the door, he turned to look at me and said, "I want to invite you to have lunch with me tomorrow. If you agree, I promise to tell you all about" The Source Fresh. "I nodded and we decided on when and where to meet. When Bradford left, I turned back to my two friends and one of the two of them immediately commented:" He is a strange and seductive person, but I do not understand why he was so young but he retired. "Hearing that, I asked immediately:" So how old is he in your opinion? "" ah? , he didn't go to 40. But through the story, I guess he must at least be 40. "I nodded vaguely:" Yes, probably about that. "   

And to avoid it, I moved the story to another topic. Because I don't want to mention Mr. Bradford's unbelievable story, at least until I get his explanation clear. The next day, after having lunch together, Mr. Bradford and I went to his room at a nearby hotel and here I was told by him all the details about the "Young Source Stream". 

Bradford said: "After I entered the monastery, the first thing I was taught by lamas was that the human body had seven centers of energy. Westerners called it the vortex points while Hindus These chakras are extremely powerful electric fields and they are completely real.Each chakra focuses on one of the seven endocrine glands of the body and its task is stimulating hormone production. These hormones regulate the entire function of the internal organs and also regulate the aging process. "   

"The first chakra or the lowest chakra is concentrated in the gonads. The second chakra is concentrated in the pancreas in the abdomen. The third chakra is located in the adrenal glands in the region of the tangle (the neural network). The fourth chakra is located in the thymus gland in the chest area, the fifth chakra is located in the thyroid gland in the neck, the sixth chakra is located in the pineal gland, at the posterior bottom of the brain. distal distance at the highest, concentrated in the pituitary gland, the anterior bottom of the brain ". [Please see the drawing to see more clearly] 

"In a healthy, robust body, the activity of these chakras is intense, enabling the" prana "(the vital force of life, also known as the universal life force) to flow smoothly. But if the activity of one or more of these chakras is stagnant, then the life force flow of life is hindered or stuck and thus leads to illness and illness. "   

"For a healthy person, those chakras spread life to the skin on the outside, as opposed to a sick body, these chakras can hardly push life to the surface. Therefore, the quickest way to regain youthfulness, health and vigor is to make these chakras work normally again. The following exercise: Each of these 5 exercises is very helpful for you, but if you want to get the best results, you should not miss one. In the Himalayas, lamas call them "Conscious". So here I want to use that word again. " 

"These centers of energy are extremely fast vortex motions. When all are swirling at such a rapid speed, the body is in perfect state. When one or more chakras are slowed down, Age and recession begin the process of aggression.
