FIND YOUR CENTER WHEN THINGS FEEL CHAOTIC
Chaos usually feels like things are scattered, moving in all directions or shifting unpredictably. When things are chaotic and you need to quiet your mind, it is essential to find you center, that place of balance within yourself, so you can become calm. They are many techniques in yoga that can help you do this. You can close your eyes and meditate, blocking out the external visual world to concentrate on your own inner world. You can observe you breathe, offering your attention to something simple and powerful on which to focus. You you chant a mantra or a single word that calms you. When you need to quiet that raging world outside, these techniques offer you access to your calm center.

Vitamin D and Immunity
Vitamin D has in recent times come under greater scrutiny for its role in immunity. And it appears that the role has even greater connotations that previously thought. According to peer-reviewed published articles of US NAtional Library of MEdicine, without vitamin D we are at an increased risk of developing a host of infections when serum levels are not at par.
All vitamins play a huge part in helping us maintain homeostasis and subsequent health. Their specific roles are in a constant state of evolution and more and more research is being done and a plethora of new information comes to light.
In the age of “the virus” and many other bugs that seeks to injure us, our immune system is called upon to soldier up and defend its home. Information is constantly being passed down through various sources referencing the use of vitamins, more recently, vitamins C, D and zinc.
We know from past teachings that these vitamins play a pivotal role in boosting our immune systems an

This is a saying from the Pali canon, upadhi dukkhassa mūlanti, which means “Attachment is the root of suffering.” So this is a genuine canonical quote.
You’ll find it in this sutta, but translated by Thanissaro as “Acquisition is the root of stress.” His translations are rather idiosyncratic.
In this translation of the same sutta it’s “acquisition is the root of suffering.”
Bhikkhu Bodhi’s translation (not available online, but in The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha, page 868) has “attachment is the root of suffering,” although he sometimes has “acquisition” in place of “attachment,” in various repetitions of the phrase.
