Trekking at Nagalapuram Hills, Andhra Pradesh- A destination to fall in love with Nature…. A weekend getaway from Chennai.


If you are overwhelmed with the city life, buzzing traffic,  never ending pollution,  stressful work environments, routine family life….trust me, you have an option to escape for a day from every thing that makes your life bored, routine and never ending.   For those who seek peace and tranquility in the serenity of Mother Nature in its roughest, truest and modest form with no human intervention of manipulation, transforming for travel or recreation purpose,   here is one destination in its original form-  Nagalapuram Hills, close to Tirupathi/Srikalahasti in Andhra Pradesh.   2 hours drive from Chennai,  92 kms from the mid of the city and close to 8 hours package with Nature.  
The beauty of this place lies in the fact that it is natural.   Rough route, tough trek, original serenity of forests and rocky trails,   little touches  of zooming insects and possibly small snakes….the hills being Nagala’s original kingdom of peace!   As you drive close the destination, you don’t realize which of the mountains surrounded you are going to trek…. Few kilometers away from Ottukotai…you keep wishing the next road takes you to the trails beginning…. Be prepared for unexplored adventure in the forests, the rocky hills and steep climbs that is in store for you.   As you cross the Poondi Reservoir and couple of other smaller one’s you see a shady road with beautiful trees on either side…and then you enter a stretch of 3 kms which your cars will have a test drive!    The road is fit of cars and bikes…but bit rough roads so be prepared to manage this stretch.
For all the nature lovers,  remember this is the quickest, most wonderful destination from Chennai.   The visit to the forests, sloppy mountains, brooks and the narrow tunnels., the lively waterfalls and the pools that let you swim, dive, dance and fall in love all over again with life…..I would love to recommend this place for all that is closer to your heart.
Please remember this is a litter- free zone, and also to maintain the calmness and tranquility of the place, please do not pollute it by any means.

The Positive Effects of Reiki on the Human Body

Reiki is recognized for its positive effects for the human body.
However, lots of people of people who have not yet experienced its power know very well what exactly Reiki does and what its results are.
If you are thinking about the way in which Reiki can help
you, then please read on and pay attention to what Reiki are
able to do for your body, mind and soul.
1. Increases one's body's ability to heal itself.
Normally, our bodies carries a defense system which functions good as long as the Ki
flow is not interrupted. When the Ki is not capable to
flow through your body, illnesses and diseases can be shown. Reiki stimulates the flow of positive energy, thus enabling your body to heal itself and fight the internal and
external attacks more effectively.
2. Cleans one's body of toxins. Because it acts for the system,
it really is one of the few complete detox programs it's possible
to follow. In addition to that it does not involve refraining from
food or some other sort of activity. Yet, pessimism need to
be banned through the individual's mind since they may have a negative impact upon the treatment.


3. Promotes health, positive thoughts and relaxation. The principles of Reiki count on positive thinking, thus a satisfaction and relaxation is
induced for the individual. By removing negative energy and promoting a sense of peace,
the process of recovery will be easier and shorter,
regardless of the illness or disease that the person suffers.

4. Works for the digestive system and increases the benefic results of anything a person ingests, from food and water to
medicines and curative herbs. Thus, it could be successfully used
as being a complementary therapy for the people already taking medicine, but concurrently it can be just
the thing for maintain the individual's health in good parameters.

5. Works on personal feelings, helping people overcome negative experiences from other lives and dealing with unexpected or unpleasant situations from their
lives. People with depressions, anxieties or experiencing
stress can easily see dramatic improvements of their conditions following your Reiki
sessions.
6. Makes the transition from life to death much easier.
It helps the soul transcend into immortality and one's
body feel less struggling with this transformation. This is why many Reiki adepts utilize the Ki to produce their transition from one world to another smoother.



Reiki offers healing for those forms of bodily
conditions, and for the spiritual problems. It is like a best ally for all those people in need, but it also
can relieve healthy people from quotidian stress and problems.
