TOP 5 HIKING TRAILS IN HONG KONG

1. Folding Screen Buildings

Tung Chung and Hong Kong International AirportScreen-like Buildings (Photo by Brian H.Y)

You can get a bird view of Tung Chung and Hong Kong International Airport near Por Kai Shan. I know the sunset is pretty, but you can view it elsewhere. Now let’s focus on the screen-like 50- to 70-storey buildings standing in front of you, which can be found in cities with a high population density.

After the Hong Kong International Airport was relocated from the center of the city to Lantau Island, the restriction of the height of the buildings was removed. Therefore, to fight for a wide angle of sea view on seafront sites, most real estate developers try to grab as much space in the sky as possible. Such “wall effect” not only hides the beautiful skyline in the city, but also blocks air circulation and leads to an urban heat island.

2. Volcanic Eruption

You can tell the “volcano” is fake. Sharp Peak is a tough hiking trail in Sai Kung Country Park for professional hikers. In clear weather, people can see the sharp peak from almost every angle in the east of Sai Kung.

The real volcano in Hong Kong actually died millions of years ago, left thousands of hexagonal volcanic rocks along the coastline in Hong Kong Global Geopark. The most popular spots to see those grand volcanic rocks are High Island Geo Trail, Fa Shan and Ninepin Islands.

 

3. Hsien Ku Fung

Hsien Ku Fung (仙姑峰) is at the east end of Pak Sin Leng mountain range and Wilson TrailStage 9, and it is one of the best peaks to get a 360-degree view of the nature of northeast New Territories.

To the east is Plover Cove Reservoir, the first “reservoir in sea” over the world. Hikers can also see the Sharp Peak in Sai Kung when the sky is clear.

 

4. Grass Island

Grass Island, a.k.a. Tap Mun, only one hour ferry away from the city, is one of the most beautiful islands in Hong Kong.

Surrounded by multiple nature parks, Grass Island has also got perfect grassland, thus, it is a perfect place for camping, although there is no government designated camp sites on the island. It provides a brief escape away from the busy city life.

 

5. Dragon Diving into the Sea

Rock Strata, Dragon Diving into the Sea at Tung Ping Chau

At the west coast of Tung Ping Chau, hikers can see an interesting geological phenomenon called “Dragon diving into the sea”. The white rock strata lying obliquely on the coast looks like the backbone of a dragon and extends from the coast into the sea.

It is actually caused by differential weathering between rock strata consisting mostly of quartz and surrounding weak rocks. The hard and white rock strata is more resistant to weathering than the surrounding rocks, so the less-resistant dark rock strata were eroded first and broken in the stormy and torrential coastal environment, leaving the most resistant white rock strata extending from the shore into the sea.

The Many Health Benefits of Sensual Massage

Erotic Massage or also known as Sensuous Massage or Tantric Massage is a technique and a one of a kind type of physical therapy that involves naked bodies to achieve or enhance sexual arousal. This massage can be utilized as a sex therapy which is to stimulate libido.

While we know that traditional massage can help improve physical and mental health, erotic type of massage on the other hand is focused on different erogenous zones of the body to boost sexual arousal between couples. Erotic massage does not necessarily mean you are obliged to do a “Sexual Activity”, but it is commonly a large part of lovemaking which includes foreplay or just a plain sex act.

Erotic massages makes the couple in a stage of trance where physical limitations are surpassed to a positive extent in life which leads to mental relaxation, emotional rejuvenation and body’s over all physical improvement.

Although erotic massage is designed for married couples, today’s session can be done through non-married individuals. Erotic massage doesn’t really mean that there is a need of sexual intercourse, but to also explore each others weaknesses through naked body therapy.

This massage can help suit your emotional weaknesses and enhances it to give out your inner strength. It can help take out physical disadvantages as well as improve your social capabilities. You can do this by taking out negative thoughts, stop the shy feeling and let go of life’s insecurities.

All focal areas such as breast and pubis for women and the genitals in men, are all exposed to increase the responsiveness of the couples sensual stimulus. The oil are applied to the most part of the body and are carefully and gently pressured with various massage stroke to help achieve sexual arousal.

Different stroke in a therapy style are applied not just to stimulate libido, but to many health benefits as well. Massage helps the muscles and bones strong and healthy plus it can help refresh the mind during and after an erotic massage session. Tantric massage also gives energy throughout the body and keeps your senses awake.

Sadly, most people foresee the term “erotic massage” as an immoral act out of human’s sexual boundaries because of the wrong doings of some erotic massage parlors offering sexual services. This is because of its main objective – to achieve orgasm through many forms such as masturbation, oral sex and the actual sex act which some people are taking advantage of. But unknown to many, erotic massage have many health benefits which includes the following.

Erotic massage doesn’t have to be tainted with malice and should be given a chance to be seen as a regular physical therapy. Some massage parlors do offer this kind of services and before you dive into a certain parlor, make sure that its legal and conducts proper and non-penetration erotic massage therapy. If you wish to go all the way, make sure that you do it with your spouse to achieve sexual enlightenment.

The Tantric Approach to Premature Ejaculation

It’s late, you’ve just finished a nice romantic dinner date with your partner. A clear sense of lust within the air means you both rush back to your apartment. Once you’ve landed at home, one thing leads to another and you both end up in the bedroom. At this time, the moment becomes too overwhelming and the passionate conclusion to the evening you had in mind has taken an abrupt end; leading to a sense of dissatisfaction, embarrassment and an early night.

Why did this happen? The situation became uncontrollable, the brief passion experienced and heightened sensitivity was great enough to cause a premature ejaculation episode. Game over.
Many males experience premature ejaculation at some point within their lives. The issue has long suffered from a stereotypical stigma that results in the issue often being lowered to a joke or jibe, meaning that a serious issue is not appropriate dealt with. In reality, premature ejaculation can have huge implications for the individual and relationships involved. A person’s confidence can be damaged greatly by the issue. The fear of embarrassment can become so pertinent that some men may end up living alone.
Suffering in Silence
Sadly, many do suffer in silence without the trust to confide in another to discuss their situation. Even those that do pick up the courage to visit their doctor are often told that the issue is psychological but not given suitable advice, in some cases prescribing individuals with different medication and in a great deal of cases do very little to help the situation.
In fact, treating premature ejaculation does not need to involve prescriptions at all. There has been great success involving the practice of Tantra to enhance male performance and sexual relationships.
What is Tantra?
The basis of Tantra is the practice of yoga/mediation. There are hundreds if not thousands of practices that fall under the Tantric teachings umbrella, many with slight differences in approach.
For Premature Ejaculation, we shall look at Tantra practices that focus on actively harnessing life force energy or ‘sexual energy’, by harnessing this energy we can utilise the energy for optimum health and vitality through mental and physical techniques and exercises.
An important step for individual sufferers of Premature Ejaculation is to build a new relationship with mind and body around sexual pleasure. By reassessing the existing patterns of behaviour and events that contribute to the levels of heightened sensitivity that makes the situation uncontrollable. By bringing more awareness to these patterns and understanding, the individual can adapt to learn techniques to change the existing patterns and feelings generated.
 
The benefits of Tantric treatment as an aid for premature ejaculation
Tantra helps individuals become more aware of their individual relationship with their self, their physical body, their personal relationships and their relationship with their environment. Assessing these aspects of an individual’s life will enable the individual to evaluate the existing patterns that are leading to episodes of premature ejaculation.
By understanding and assessing your own individual situation, one learns more about the sources, causes and potential triggers of the issue. These may be deep-rooted (developed in puberty, a particular event or related trauma). On the other hand, the issue may be stress-related, by assessing the sources and causes the individual will be better placed to manage those elevated stress levels, introduce methods to prevent and manage stress in a better manner.
By introducing a new relationship with mind and body, assessing the levers involved in your sexual pleasure and reacting accordingly can have fantastic results. Confidence is often boosted by the better understanding of their situation, surroundings and relationship with themselves and others.
Key components of the Tantric Treatment
  • Re-evaluation of your sexual pleasure relationship. Assess elements of yourself, physical body, personal relationships and relationship with your environment that all contribute to the issue of premature ejaculation. By impacting these areas positively, your approach and ‘journey’ to sexual pleasure will be benefitted.
  • Being present in time. One of the biggest teachings from Tantra in general is your presence in the moment. Mental contributors to premature ejaculation include anxiety and fear which are spawned from the past or thoughts about the future. By ‘living in the moment’, only focusing on yourself, your partner and immediate surroundings you will become fully immersed, engaged within the act and connected to one another. This benefits by removing space for the negative aspects of your former relationship with sexual pleasure that included feelings such as anxiety and fear, leading to a premature ejaculation episode.
  • The break-away from the existing negative relationship with sexual pleasure that would contribute to premature ejaculation needs to be consistently implemented and practised. Repetition reinforces the new processes and relationship with sexual pleasure, ensuring relapses and reverting to the previous states do not occur. The mind and body are amazing and have the ability to adjust but need to be nurtured to reach the desired state.
In the case of premature ejaculation, it is always advisable to consult your doctor to help rule out potential medication conditions that may be contributing to the problem of premature ejaculation. The Tantric approach is a complimentary approach and focuses on re-establishing the sexual pleasure relationship with mind and body.

All About Japanese Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a form of Japanese therapeutic massage developed in Japan, which has spread worldwide that regulates your nervous system and promotes natural healing by stimulating chemical responses within your body.

Japanese Shiatsu is a combination of the right foods, proper intake, energy work, and massage therapy. The therapy is done to promote wellness, treat painful body conditions, enhance body functions, and other benefits with the blend of staying in shape through the proper foods being eaten as planned.

The therapy practices the balancing and maintaining of ki or energy within the human body. This practice and principle is common on Asian massage techniques that are known for their belief to unclog any blocked passages of life force. Any blockage may represent a threat on the current healthy condition of the human body which is due to the proper flow of energy throughout the whole body.

Among the health benefits and effects any client can receive from the therapy includes the relaxing and soothing experience during and after the therapy session. The approach is quite gentle but uses fairly firm touch and pressure which is great for relieving pain while at the same time setting the body in a condition capable of de-stressing and calming. The massage work done during massage therapy sessions to the client’s body can benefit a person with magnificent results such as the improvement of blood and oxygen circulation, proper respiratory function for correct breathing pattern, improved sleeping quality and time, enhanced mood, improvement on the range of motion and flexibility, treatment of all sorts of body pain such as joint pain and back pain, relief from headaches, stress, fatigue, and tension, treatment of indigestion and many other medical conditions, disorders, and dysfunctions.

Aside from the health benefits the client receives from the massage therapy, the dietary plan also contributes to a healthy body due to the right types of foods and the quantity being eaten. Practitioners of the therapy believe that the foods have their own energy or ki that can improve and maintain the present life force inside the human body. By eating the right foods, the body accumulates enough energy to be used in aligning and balancing it in order to keep a healthy constitution inside and outside. As a result, the massage therapy acts only as a support in energy work as most of the ki required is supplied by the foods.

Aside from the health benefits and all sorts of advantages a person can get from Japanese Shiatsu and any type of massage therapy, it is equally important to research on the risks and dangers that are also included in the natural healing art. In doing so, you can make sure that you only get what you want and avoid going through the risks of the therapy.
