The expression is like a bath sheet. Like a bath sheet. National achievement. And all the heavenly host will perish; and the heavens will roll up like a scroll of a book; and all their host shall fall as a leaf falls from a vine, and as a withered leaf from a fig tree

Bath is our everything! Health, beauty, relaxation, national identity, entertainment and an abyss of pleasure... Soar in the clouds of fragrant steam, carefully caress your charms with a lush broom, hoot, fall into the font, experience a lot of thrills, and then long and thoughtfully enjoy the bliss of the steamed body... Maria TARANENKO calls: "Go to the bath!"

I wonder when a person first realized the beauty of the heat?! At what point did our primitive ancestors pour water over the rocks of the cave heated by the fire? And, plunging into a cloud of steam, they felt such a surge of strength that they immediately killed all the surrounding mammoths. It is not for nothing that archaeologists claim that the ancients were very fond of taking a steam bath. And, if we consider the world history of mankind, you might think that people did nothing but sweat. In war, in work and in the bath! "How are you sweating?" - instead of greeting, the Romans, who raised their baths in a cult, asked their acquaintances. Baths existed everywhere: in Egypt, Syria, Babylon, China, Japan ... And, despite all the world's cataclysms, this tradition has not only survived to this day, but has remained virtually unchanged.

Although, if you think about it, what can be changed here? Wall cladding? Type of stones? Type of water or manner of reclining on a shelf? Creative did not cross the threshold of the steam room. The bath has remained unchanged and is good in its simplicity, proven for thousands of years. Although different types of sweat have their own laws and rituals, in the end they are all designed to make us sweat well. After all, it is sweat that removes the maximum of unnecessary and harmful from the body. By the way, this is why experienced bath attendants do not wipe it, but clean it off with special scrapers so that the sweat does not soak back. And that is why you need to drink a lot in the bath: all the incoming liquid will come out, taking with it toxins, pollution and other dirt. In addition, heat relieves tension, relaxes muscles, soothes. The body is followed by the mind, which wants to switch to the positive. It is not for nothing that men decide questions of business and politics in the bathhouse. And women ... Women take care of themselves. And only by yourself. Unlike men's bath companies, women's companies have an unspoken law: talk only about health, cosmetics and the bath itself. And leave all the vain at the threshold.

Watching no hours

My path through the clouds of steam is never short. Of course, you can lie down for 10 minutes in the sauna of the gym, but you can’t call this warming up of the muscles a bath. Bath - it's serious and for a long time. Like a good vacation, which should be at least two weeks, so the bath should last at least two hours. Better yet, more. I set my record on the day of my thirtieth birthday, which I spent alone in Sanduny. Arrived there for opening. And she left the divine place only at six in the evening, going straight to the restaurant. That day I understood what it means to be well-groomed from head to toe. The feeling is incredible. Fortunately, in the bath you can do all the beauty procedures, and the specialists working there will give odds to the staff of eminent beauty centers. Who tried - knows.

dressing room

Before entering the steam room, you need to thoroughly cleanse the skin. Remove makeup, shower without soap, and rinse your face (due to the heat, the remaining cleansing milk will irritate the skin). I rub Opalis oil into the ends of my hair. It consists of natural components, the structure of which does not change at high temperatures. The oil nourishes and restores the hair, preventing moisture loss.

I first remove the nail polish (heat and steam will damage it anyway) and apply the same Opalis oil on them. The structure and needs of nails are identical to hair, so the oil will also strengthen, nourish and protect them from overheating. In principle, any oil or honey can be suitable for these purposes. The main thing is not to forget to rub them into your fingertips before each entry into the steam room.

For warming up

Contrary to prejudice, you can bathe both naked and wrapped in a sheet. Many cover only sensitive areas of the body (chest, knees, etc.), which is very correct. It is better to start from the bottom shelf, gradually rising higher. The main law of any bath is that the legs should be at the same level with the head or higher. This will ensure even blood circulation, muscle relaxation and better detoxification. On the shelves you can often find special "corners" under the legs, on which many unknowingly put their heads. Sitting is better not to bathe - this leads to stagnation of blood in the legs and swelling. Therefore, I do not like crowded hours and try to come only at the opening.

By the way, in the East it is customary to go to the bathhouse in the morning. It is believed that after sunset, the body accumulates fatigue and is less willing to part with illnesses. I was convinced that the morning bath really energizes and gives an amazing ease of thinking. Especially if the steam is right, and the broom is lush and light.

Soar in the clouds

Creating the right steam is not for everyone. But from the outside it looks so simple: splashed water on the stones with a couple of drops of something fragrant - and fell on the shelf! In fact, the art of "giving in" is learned for a long time. Courses, of course, do not exist, everything depends on practice and, of course, the exchange of experience.

smoke screen

Bath attendants with experience skillfully master the technique of “throwing” water onto stones, they know how many ladles are required in one or another entry, and also how to properly unroll a towel to lower the steam. These professionals are well aware of how much and which extracts to add, in which run, which flavor is more effective. Herbal infusions give not only a pleasant smell, but also have a beneficial effect on the body. The heated essential molecules of plants increase their activity many times, thanks to which we leave the steam room literally saturated with benefits. For example, eucalyptus steam contains 40 most useful components. Mint improves mood and calms nerves. Linden repeatedly increases sweating and treats colds. There are lovers of beer, kvass and even tobacco steam. Cigarette smoke is unhealthy, but brewed tobacco treats problematic skin.

First, hot water is splashed on the stones to cool them slightly. Then - a diluted infusion, and then - water again. Infusion can also be sprinkled on walls and floors. But do not water those present - mixed with sweat, it will give an unpleasant odor.

Without extremes

The biggest bathing mistake is to endure to the last. I have seen women leave the steam room on the verge of fainting. And it happened that someone lost consciousness right on the shelf. It seems that the ladies set a personal record for temperature exposure (I wonder who rewards for this). Or they were uncomfortable in front of those around them, who famously whipped themselves with brooms, demanding to throw up the parka.

Drop shame. Your body does not know it: it signals without hesitation when the heat becomes harmful. It is important not to miss this moment. Otherwise, due to the excessive load on the vessels, the bath will give one harm instead of benefit. It is not for nothing that experienced bath attendants do not rise high on the first run and quickly leave the steam room: the body needs to gradually adapt to the high temperature. Then the rest of the time will be well spent.

Just in case, bring a damp, cool towel with you. At the slightest sign of dizziness, apply it to the forehead, to the back of the head or to the region of the heart. And very carefully, stepping slowly, leave the steam room.

seventh sweat

Overheating is often due to low sweating. The fact is that sweat cools our skin, entering the so-called thermoregulation chain. If it does not appear, body temperature and blood pressure rise sharply. And the body signals this dizziness. To activate perspiration, massage your body with a soft mitt or towel. Honey helps too. The fruit acids included in its composition exfoliate the skin, free the pores from impurities and facilitate perspiration. In principle, any exfoliating procedures help (the easiest way is to do a peeling in the shower right before entering), as well as diaphoretic teas.

It is better not to drink black tea and coffee in the bath: they excite the nervous system, which is absolutely useless for a relaxed body. Beer is also despised by experienced bath attendants: alcohol and the heavy wort of this drink increase dehydration of the body and block the removal of toxins. In the bath, it is better to drink mineral water or herbal tea.

Rules of behavior

* In the steam room, you can spend a total of no more than 35 minutes, regardless of the number of visits. Before each of them you need to rest for 10-20 minutes (do not forget to take off your jewelry).
* The body in the steam room must be dry, otherwise you can spoil the heat and harm your health. Wet skin makes the steam heavy.
* Going into the steam room, close your eyes: if you can not determine where the stove is (warmly enveloping, not puffing from one side), you are in luck.
* All synthetic materials (hats, towels, swimwear) are contraindicated in the bath. As well as ready-made cosmetics (their preservatives decompose in the heat and harm the skin).

Bad-banno

After a single visit to the bath, the body loses up to 2 liters of water - this is how a visible weight loss is achieved, which, unfortunately, is compensated in a day.

But in the bath you can really lose weight if:

* Avoid contrast procedures. The temperature difference perfectly trains the vessels and the immune system, but also causes the pores to close and the sweating to stop, in which excess calories are consumed. After all, the body spends a lot of energy on the production and evaporation of sweat.
* Go to the steam room often and sit for a short time. Then, wrapped in a sheet, wait until the sweating stops on its own.
* Drink only hot drinks that stimulate perspiration.
* Steam only lying down and in a not very wet steam room.
* He who bathes on an empty stomach loses weight, on a full stomach he becomes fat.

Get out!

A broom is a symbol, an attribute, a fetish of the Russian bath. It is impossible for a foreigner to explain what it is. Believe me, I tried, and more than once. They look as if they are insane, automatically classifying brooms as the next bends of the Russian soul. But I do not give up and resolutely carry enlightenment to the foreign masses. Once I managed to tell even Bryan Adams about our sauna and brooms. He was impressed. True, I still do not know if he managed to apply the knowledge received from me in practice. Not turned away from the story and Sharon Stone. Diva was impressed. But I did not fully understand the meaning of self-torture with dry birch branches.

Magic bouquet

Brooms can be described endlessly, like any work of art. And they are a good broom. Few manage to create a lush, light, fragrant masterpiece. Branches for it are cut on certain days, in accordance with religious holidays, in dry weather. When collecting, special prayers and conspiracies are read. Brooms are dried only in the shade, in the breeze. They do not lose their healing properties over time and do not fly around even after a dozen thorough visits.

In the bath, the broom is “steamed”: it is placed in hot water for several minutes. It is not necessary to leave it there for a long time - the aroma will go away. Some people like to hold a wet broom over the stones of the steam room - the steam from the wet leaves permeates the bath with a healing spirit. In this case, it is better not to shake the broom: the leaves that have fallen on the heater will burn with an unpleasant odor.

Botanical Garden

* Birch broom. The most popular and favorite. It is durable, flexible and comfortable. The leaves contain essential oils, vitamins C and A, which prolong the youthfulness of the skin. They adhere well to the body and absorb sweat like a sponge.
* Oak broom. Its leaves do not absorb sweat as well, but they are wider, they pump steam well and are perfect for those who like to steam.
* Eucalyptus broom. A real medicine for colds, lung diseases, bruises, sprains, joint pains. The disadvantage of the eucalyptus broom is thin branches. It is better to add 2-3 eucalyptus twigs to a birch or oak "bouquet".
* Coniferous broom. Pleasure is not for everyone. Although after processing the needles become softer, the skin must be prepared for such a broom. They say that a coniferous broom drives out any ailment. As a rule, fir, spruce and cedar branches go to it. The juniper broom enjoys special respect among experienced bathers.
* Nettle broom. Not a joke at all, but a real salvation for a sore lower back and joints. Before you start steaming, transfer it a couple of times from hot to cold water, holding it in each for 2-3 minutes. And then you can calmly bathe - there will be no burn.

There are also brooms made of wormwood, ash, hazel and bird cherry. The latter becomes relevant during influenza epidemics: bird cherry has bactericidal properties.

spring-cleaning

Stroking, lashing, whipping with a broom is like a real massage that stimulates blood circulation, increases sweating and energizes. Movements should be soft, flexible, and the broom should lightly touch the body, only pumping up heat. It is important that it is always moist and fluffy.

The steam intensity is determined by the temperature in the steam room. If it is high, they whip it gently with a broom, if not very - sweepingly. They usually start with stroking movements from the feet to the hips and abdomen, chest and neck. Then the legs, stomach, chest and arms are vigorously whipped. They finish by rubbing: with one hand they hold the handle of the broom, with the other they press the foliage to the body. Inhale its aroma more often, it will become a true massage for the lungs.

And then

A font, an ice-hole, a snowdrift, a pool - thrill-seekers adore the blissful lightness that the temperature difference gives to the body. Contrasting procedures have an excellent effect on the heart, blood vessels, increase immunity and rejuvenate the skin. But such extremes are not to everyone's liking. Many, on the contrary, prefer to enjoy the steamed-blissful state after the steam room and meditate wrapped in a towel. Everyone chooses for themselves, it is important that the bath is a pleasure. By the way, if you are going to have a massage, you should not supercool: the muscles relaxed by the bath heat will again become toned, and it will be more difficult to knead them.

Bath cosmetology

For a shower, you need to stock up on a natural washcloth or brush (synthetic ones leave microcracks on the skin and poorly polish its surface). As well as peelings for the face, body and a maximum of hair products. After washing your hair, generously oil your hair with a mask. She fully reveals her talents in the bath. Leave the product for as long as possible, hiding the hair under a felt cap. After such a spa treatment, the hair will look unreal. Just no plastic caps! At high temperatures, they release harmful substances.

In fact, the bath is simply made for masks. Face, body, hair, hands, feet - any steamed part of our body will gratefully accept the components of these products, the activity of which doubles. Moreover, after the first visit to the skin, you can apply a cleansing mask, and after the second or third - moisturizing or tightening.

Milk, oil, cream... The skin will gratefully absorb them, becoming soft and silky. Rub in upward motions. To enhance the feeling of lightness and bliss.

Hammam

The classic oriental bath is built on the principle of a palm, where each finger is a bath niche. "Wrist joint" and the beginning of the whole procedure - a locker room with a temperature of 28-34 ° C. Here you need to sit, warm up, then go to the "palm" - a large room with a warm floor. There are heated stone beds chebek-tashi. Several "fingers" - niches - extend from the "palm", the air temperature in which gradually rises from 70 to 100 ° C. Humidity in the hammam is 90%, and there are no problems with perspiration. The presence of rooms with different air temperatures allows you to choose the best option. They steam in niches for 5 minutes, and then return to the “palm” to rest on the couch, and then move to a more heated room. The main thing is how to sweat. The highlight of the hammam is the massage. Armed with a hard cloth glove, the massage therapist thoroughly rubs the skin from the heels to the back of the head, rolling up dead skin particles - proof of his excellent work. The body is then rinsed and another, this time a soap massage, is performed.

Experts say that it is possible to understand what a truly pure body is only after the right hammam.

Sauna

In Finland, the bath was considered a shrine: in the heat of the bath, a spirit was born that gave joy and happiness. Finnish saunas are famous for the fact that the air in them can be heated up to 140 ° C (with a humidity of 5-15%). Dry heat facilitates heat transfer and is easier to tolerate. Therefore, splashing water on the sauna stones is not necessary. Due to the high temperature and poor ventilation, the steam is “heavy”, harmful to health and skin. You can only lightly spray the walls with fragrant tincture or essential oil diluted in water with water. This will fill the sauna with aroma and make sweating easier. Attention: the oil is highly flammable and therefore can only be used in an aqueous solution; in addition, for the same reason, it cannot be stored in the steam room and added to the water directly in the steam room.

Be careful: in order to prevent overheating of the body, you can stay in the sauna for a maximum of 5-10 minutes!

Bath in Japanese

Surprisingly simple, unpretentious and exotic. A large barrel is filled with cedar sawdust heated to 50-60 ° C, mixed with several dozen types of exotic herbs. Climbing into this mixture, you can enjoy the warmth and aroma of 10-15 minutes. The released sweat is absorbed by sawdust, and the body is saturated with beneficial substances of medicinal herbs. The Japanese claim that such a bath perfectly absorbs body fat.

Irish bath

In it, hot air flows from the furnace under the floor and along the walls through special pipes. Thanks to this, it is easy and free to breathe in it. Like a hammam, it consists of several rooms with different temperatures.

Canadian bath

The main thing in it is a large bag filled with hay or leaves. It forms a special microclimate, which allows the procedure to be carried out. Climbing into the bag, you can not only sweat well, but also saturate the skin with a wonderful forest aroma.

Bath in Italian

A bit like Japanese, but instead of sawdust, it uses heated sand. After such a bath, it is good to swim in sea water and soak up the Italian sun. Such a bath cures diseases of the joints and regulates self-moisturizing of the skin.

Pros and cons

* Hammam is contraindicated for people with poor circulation and lung problems, and the sauna is contraindicated for those suffering from tachycardia or claustrophobia. All types of baths are not recommended for inflammatory and oncological diseases.
* Wet steam of the hammam is softer than Russian and gentler than the dry heat of the sauna. Therefore, it is better for beginners to start with it.
* Hammam is boring because of the fixed temperature (approximately 85 ° C), while in the bath and sauna it can be changed from 85 to 100.
* Sauna is more suitable for energetic people. It does not take much time, quickly relieves fatigue and instantly improves tone. It's the perfect way to start a new day or get ready to dance all night.
* A languid oriental slowness reigns in the hammam. And although in the East it is customary for them to start the day, in our latitudes it is better to dedicate the evening to the hammam, so that when you return home, fall asleep as a baby.
* Russian banya combines both eastern and western traditions. She will perfectly complete the working week, “evaporating” stress, worries and ailments.

cultural commentary: phraseol. goes back to the most ancient mythological form of understanding the world - animistic, i.e. personifying the inanimate: the creation of the image is based on the analogy "plant - man". At the heart of the image phraseol. also lie the most ancient archetypal oppositions "friend - foe", "man - woman". phraseol. bathhouse(from bath"the room where they wash and bathe") corresponds to the architectural and house-building code of the culture, and the component sheet- with vegetable.Image phraseol. is created by a comparison construct based on a comparison sheet, which, breaking away from the bath broom, sticks tightly to the wet body, and an annoying, obsessive person. In the image phraseol. ideas about the traditions of the Russian bath, rooted in ancient times, have come down to us. Bath in Russia was of particular importance. Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea (VI in.) wrote that the bath accompanied the ancient Slavs all their lives: they were washed here on their birthday, before the wedding and after death; Russian warriors, known for their courage, always went to the bathhouse before the decisive battle. The purification ritual was available to everyone - from young to old, regardless of class and other differences. The Russian bath is, first of all, a steam bath, an integral attribute and symbol of which is a birch or oak broom. According to the popular proverb, a broom in the bath for everyone, sir. In chronicles X-XIII centuries the Russian bath was also mentioned that in ancient Russia, the defeated tribes even paid tribute with birch brooms. One of the important stages of the bath ritual is whipping, beating the body with steamed brooms, after which leaves remain on it, which stick so tightly, stick to the body that it is difficult and not immediately possible to get rid of them. From here in the image phraseol. an idea of ​​importunity and obsession is formed. Image phraseol. displays a stereotypical idea of ​​a violation of behavioral etiquette: too persistent and relentless treatment, pestering someone. causes irritation and unwillingness to deal with and communicate with those who pester, and is also condemned and perceived as arrogant, impudent behavior. Image phraseol. is also associated with the idea of ​​the importunate behavior of a man who seeks to win the favor of a woman he likes, bothering her with his incessant attention, as a result of which he becomes unpleasant, disgusting and unbearable for her. phraseol. in general, acts as a standard for too intrusive, annoying behavior.

The Strugatskys have a wonderful scene in "Attempt to Escape":
Anton got up.

“By the way, what is a “ban list”? - he asked.

Vadim got up too.

- This, Toshka, is a dark question. There is such an archaic idiom: "tremble like a bath leaf." The bath sheet is such a brazier. He began to show with his hands. - It was installed in the hearths of smoking baths, and when they gave steam, that is, poured water over the brazier, the red-hot leaf began to vibrate.

Saul suddenly laughed. He laughed thickly and with delight, wiping his tears with the palm of his hand and stamping his shoes. No one understood anything, and in a minute everyone was laughing.

“Funny custom, right? Vadim said, coughing with laughter.

“Really, Saul, why are you laughing?” Anton asked.

- Oh! Saul said. “I’m so glad I arrived on my planet…

Vadim stopped laughing.

“After all, I am not a Slavic scholar,” he said with dignity. – My specialty is structural analysis.

- Well, - said Anton, - let's go outside.

Everyone left the cabin. Vadim, holding Saul by the elbow, said:

– This is not my conclusion. This is the most widely accepted hypothesis.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Saul answered quickly. He became serious. - This hypothesis of yours is so far from the truth that I could not resist. If I offended you, I'm sorry...

– What do you think? Vadim asked.

Saul said irritably:

- There is no such expression: "tremble like a bath leaf." There are expressions: "tremble like an aspen leaf" and "stick like a bath leaf."

“But sticking like a leaf is a primitive metaphor. It goes back to sticky linden leaves. How can a bath sheet stick? It's not a plant leaf. Why would the leaves of some plants get into the bath? That's funny!

That is, in the future, baths with brooms disappeared, and the realities were forgotten so much that people invent false etymologies because they do not understand the real origin and meaning of phraseological units.

I never thought that I would face something like this in our reality. But today langobard wrote:

I have a feeling that if we fly back in a time machine 30-40 years ago and ask the youth of that time what the meaning of the verb "stupefy" can be, they will answer that this is most likely an act of homosexual abuse.
Although, in fact, in the steady criminal argo, "stupid" meant something like to relax and unwind.
Now "stupid" is rapidly turning into "understand", "get it", "figure it out".
For the first time I heard at the consultation before the exam: "I did not fool this question."
Well, and the like: "I didn't stupefy what they want from me"; "These people can't fool it in any way, that ...".

In the comments they suffered something similar to what the Strugatskys wrote.

Hey guys, you don't know anything...
To hollow means to lay out a bone with two identical numbers in dominoes (a double, colloquially, a hollow). It is placed across the line. "Well, that's it, I'm stupid" - it means "it was lucky that, finally, a knuckle with the number of dots corresponding to that on my double fell on one of the ends of the line, and I was able to get rid of it."

"Inflate", "inflate" - from the same place, means "lay out a hollow, thereby preventing other players from getting out of a situation where they have only bones with numbers different from those at the ends of the line": players they are waiting for the one who has the move to put an ordinary bone with different numbers on the halves, and one of them will have a chance to lay out his own. Instead, they get the preservation of the same numbers that they do not have on hand.

I don’t know how 30 years ago - these were already late perestroika times, a lot of things appeared in jargon there, but 40 years ago (both 50 and 60) - the meaning of the word "hollow" was clearly and unequivocally associated with dominoes. And ALL men (and a significant part of women) played dominoes. It was a more socially approved pastime than playing cards.

By the way, about the "hollow" -anus, everything is not simple and not obvious. The word in this sense goes back to the Polish "dupa", through the expression "drunk in a snipe" - in the original version w dupę, that is, "in the ass".

Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea (VI in.) wrote that the bath accompanied the ancient Slavs all their lives: they were washed here on their birthday, before the wedding and after death; Russian warriors, known for their courage, always went to the bathhouse before the decisive battle. The purification ritual was available to everyone - from young to old, regardless of class and other differences. The Russian bath is, first of all, a steam bath, an integral attribute and symbol of which is a birch or oak broom. According to the popular proverb, a broom in the bath for everyone, sir. In chronicles X-XIII centuries the Russian bath was also mentioned that in ancient Russia, the defeated tribes even paid tribute with birch brooms. One of the important stages of the bath ritual is whipping, beating the body with steamed brooms, after which leaves remain on it, which stick so tightly, stick to the body that it is difficult and not immediately possible to get rid of them. From here in the image phraseol. the idea of ​​intrusiveness and obsession is formed. Image phraseol. displays a stereotypical idea of ​​a violation of behavioral etiquette: too persistent and relentless treatment, pestering someone. causes irritation and unwillingness to deal with and communicate with those who pester, and is also condemned and perceived as arrogant, impudent behavior. Image phraseol. is also associated with the idea of ​​the importunate behavior of a man who seeks to win the favor of a woman he likes, bothering her with his incessant attention, as a result of which he becomes unpleasant, disgusting and unbearable for her. phraseol. in general, acts as a standard for too intrusive, annoying behavior.

Bath sheet

From the book Kamasutra in French. Only for women by Gato Michel

Bath sheet It is easy to recognize. He always goes through a period between one failed love and another. He cannot live alone, but he cannot get along with anyone. He has a rather “feminine” sensitivity. He is great as a confidant. He is easily seduced.

What to do if the relationship is already established, you want to “untie” them, but your ex-chosen one is unbearably painful to hear this? So much so that a person does not let go, walks on the heels, asks (and sometimes demands) to return? And all this goes on for days, months, years on end?

The love that will lead us to a happy marriage and a golden wedding is already more of a myth than the truth. We search, we try, we stumble, we part, and we start searching again. Of course, it would be nice to learn how to find your soul mate the first time. But what to do if the relationship is already established, you want to “untie” them, but your ex-chosen one is unbearably painful to hear this? So much so that a person does not let go, walks on the heels, asks (and sometimes demands) to return? And all this goes on for days, months, years on end?

Leave, you can't stay!

I look at the clock: half past five. Andrei works until five and knows that on Fridays I come to visit my mother. I have a difficult choice in front of me: go to visit my mother and startle at the next rustle outside the door - or go with my friends to where he won’t think to look for me and where he won’t set foot: to a nightclub on the other side of the city.

Yes, my life has become a real madness ever since I decided to break up with my husband. Everything had been going to this for a long time: it was boring and joyless for me to live with him. With every year spent together, I realized that I had made a big mistake. We had nothing to talk about, the sexual attraction to him faded. It was not life, but an empty waste of time next to a stranger, not interesting to me.

The news that I was leaving, Andrei did not accept. He locked me at home, changed the locks in the apartment, nailed the cabinets. I got scared and ran away without taking anything with me. She went to her mother, who was waiting for another siege the next day.

Andrei called by phone, came to our house. He tirelessly guarded me under the entrance, sent his friends to us with chic bouquets of flowers. It was all terribly awkward, humiliating, embarrassing. A compassionate mother tried to persuade me to go out to talk to him, because he “is so killed, go ahead, he will also start drinking or die from the cold.” I knew that if I went out, I would give up.

I screamed: “No! Not! I'm filing for divorce! I don't love you, I don't love you in the slightest! GET OFF!"

But he did not understand, stubbornly stood his ground. He said: "Tell me what's wrong! Tell me what to do - I'll do it! I'll fix it - just tell me how!"

He got down on his knees and cried. He was shaking with cold and grief. And I felt that I was falling into another trap, shouted at him in impotent anger, suffered from pity, but stood my ground.

Time passed, but nothing changed. I rented an apartment in an area unfamiliar to him, went home by a confused route (I knew that he could follow), did not invite anyone to my place, and I rarely appeared at home. I've been to places that my ex-husband didn't even know existed. Andrei attacked my parents, called by phone (I could not change the number). And I "encrypted" further, while tirelessly looking for a way to get rid of his persecution.

You can't leave, you can't stay...

My dear. My only one You just don't understand how much I love you. You don’t understand that no one will love you more than me, no one will be able to.

You are naughty, you resist. You hurt me. But I'll wait.

After all, we lived so well together. We always had something to talk about and keep quiet. Rest - together, do something - also together, go somewhere - together again. You were satisfied with our life. What happened?

Maybe you are tired? From me? You just tell me what I'm doing wrong and I'll fix it. Just don't be silent, tell me - maybe I don't know what's eating you? But I won't know if you don't tell me.

Or maybe you met someone? Yes? Is that what it's all about? Did he screw your brains out?

But you understand that he will not love you the way I do. He won't want to do as much for you as I'm willing to do.

Just do not leave. Come back home. It's impossible to live here without you. Please…

History without a future

Breaking up with a man with an anal vector is really not easy. Not only because his ex-wife is often very sorry for him (such a man in their union usually feels good and comfortable, unlike her), but also because it is hard for him to understand and accept the fact that his family is falling apart, his wife does not want stay with him under the same roof, and their relationship no longer has a future.

How so - to leave? Why? All his wife's arguments about boredom, lack of common interests, sexual desire seem to him superficial, unimportant. After all, what is important for a person with an anal vector? Home, coziness, comfort. "We were so good together!" - the anal man says, and by "good" he means "comfortable", "convenient", "calmly". Not realizing that it is “good” for a wife with a different set of vectors (most often with a skin vector from below, opposite to the anal one) - a real mortal boredom, a useless waste of life and a synonym for despondency.

He asks his wife to tell him what's the matter, explain what's what ... Yes, this is in his repertoire: they have a rigid, somewhat clumsy thinking, so be flexible and put yourself in the place of another in order to understand what the problem is, they extremely hard. However, even after very detailed explanations, insight does not come if there is no understanding that the nature of his wife is completely different: she gets joy and pleasure from communicating with different people, frequent changes of scenery, fast movement around the city, but not from quiet evenings on the home couch at the telly.

However, the problem is not only this. The representative of the anal vector is monogamous by nature: if he has already chosen a wife, then she should be his one and only for life. In his understanding, the wife’s desire to leave is something frivolous, a whim, a “temporary insanity” that will surely pass. With time. We just have to wait. But he is very patient - and the truth will wait ...

Attached like a bath leaf, a husband with an anal vector goes to the “siege” of a capricious wife, confident that this will help. He gives her gifts, stubbornly waits under the porch, calls, connects friends and relatives to the attack, not understanding the main thing: there is no future for such relationships anymore.

Finally realizing that the marriage is over, the representative of the anal vector for a very long time cannot come to terms with the fact that his wife cannot be returned, as well as family happiness with his “only one”. It appears in his soul, viscous and sticky, from which it will be very difficult for him to get out. The resentment fixes his negative experience in the memory, grows to resentment against the entire female gender, and then there is a desire to take revenge as compensation for the “moral damage” caused.

How will he take revenge? It all depends on the level of development and fullness of his anal and other vectors. It can be just a threat, and which he will definitely carry out.

This, of course, is the most negative scenario for the development of events. But, unfortunately, it is also the most common one: offended, thirsting for revenge, our poor anal man not only will not be able to build new relationships, but also has every chance of getting bogged down in sexual and social frustrations.

I realized that if I do nothing, he will not leave. Should I move to another city? This is too much.

I recently learned about a new psychology that allows you to find out everything about a person - his true desires and motives for actions. It helps to communicate, understand myself and others, which means it will help in my difficult situation.

Having studied system-vector psychology, I came to the conclusion that there is a solution, albeit a very difficult one. I have long, serious conversations and exhortations ahead of me. I will take care of Andrei at the time of the breakup worse than his mother, in a confidential tone to explain that I am to blame for him, that our paths cannot continue to go together, that he deserves a completely different person. You just need to make sure that he does not blackmail me or insult me ​​- otherwise you will have to run away from him without looking back.

Well, with God!

Love or nostalgia?

Something has changed in our relationship with Anya. I began to understand that she is still not my person. Nice, sweet, but I really, really, probably need someone else. I don't know until I'm sure.

Anya stopped hiding from me and running around like a stupid girl. And I stopped being angry with her. We meet in a cafe, drink tea and talk. Turns out she can be a great friend. I like that Anya admitted her mistakes. But before all the time she poked a finger at me, saying that I was to blame for everything. Still, this is unfair - because both are to blame.

She is still so dear, close, so sometimes you want to return our family life. But as soon as Anya opened up and wanted to solve our problems in a human way, it became much easier for me. I do not know what will happen next, but I calmed down. Perhaps this is no longer love, but just nostalgia ...

The science of parting

The science of parting is a complicated thing, especially if there is a person with an anal vector in a couple. However, having knowledge of system-vector psychology, one can solve even the most complex problem. It just takes a little patience and desire.

How to competently part with a representative of the anal vector? Do not hide, do not run, do not cut relationships in one fell swoop (unless, of course, you are not a sadist, a murderer or a person close to that). Such behavior will be a strong blow for the anal, which it is very difficult for him to cope with alone. Failing to cope, he will plunge into difficult states of resentment and a thirst for revenge, which can be directed specifically against you.

Remember that such an event in the life of a faithful, devoted, loving man with an anal vector is always a tragedy, shock, injustice and a feeling that he was not given enough. Neutralize this feeling with carefully selected intonations, words, meanings that spare his mentality (use his own keywords: “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm guilty, I'm ashamed”). Communicate with him in a friendly way, listen to his complaints, support - but do not give up, be true to your intention to leave. Slowly but surely, he realizes that there has been a break. And it will not be as tragic for him as your abrupt departure, which does not tell him anything.

Breaking up with a man with an anal vector is important not only for you, but also for him, for his future, in which he can enter without resentment and disappointment, and with the knowledge of who next to him his life can be happier.

Alexey Novikov

Steam massage therapist at the Sandunovsky Baths.

Bath - an excellent tool for the prevention of colds and relieve emotional stress. In addition, it helps athletes regain strength by improving blood circulation and removing lactic acid. But all these effects can be achieved only under certain conditions.

Who should not go to the bath

The path to the bath is closed to those people who have:

  1. Neuropsychiatric disorders. This also includes alcoholism.
  2. Any abnormalities in the work of the cardiovascular system.
  3. Problems with the kidneys and digestive system.
  4. Violation of the skin.

But even if you do not suffer from any of these diseases, it is always better to play it safe and consult a specialist.

What not to do in the bath

Before the steam room, you can’t wash in the shower with soap, you can only rinse. The fact is that with soap the protective layer is erased and the skin becomes more sensitive.

Before visiting the steam room, you should not wet your head, otherwise the heat transfer will increase and you will get a heat stroke. For the same reason, it is better to protect your head with a special bath hat. She, among other things, does not allow the hair to dry out.

Do not drink carbonated drinks in front of the steam room. Alcohol is not recommended before visiting, during, or even after the bath.

You don't have to overeat. But you should not go to the bath hungry either. and herbal teas are the best choice.

When is the best time to steam

There is an opinion that it is better to go to the bath in winter. But you can steam in the summer. In the heat of the bath helps the body to adapt to high temperatures. The pores open, the work of the sweat glands increases, which helps to improve heat transfer. Plus, the body gets rid of toxins, it just becomes easier to breathe. Leaving the steam room in the summer, many note this fact.

So experienced bath attendants do not recognize seasonality.

If we talk about the time of day, it is better to listen to your biological clock. For example, many larks come to the first steam (in Sanduny it is at 8 o'clock in the morning). They assure that after the bath they work better and do everything in time. Owls, on the contrary, prefer evening sessions and after the bath they are only capable of a serene sleep.

How to steam

As a rule, the following formula is comfortable for the body: three visits to the steam room for 6-10 minutes with breaks of 20 minutes. But in the fourth run, you can go to the brooms: the body is already prepared for them emotionally and physically.

Which broom to choose

There are two types of brooms: those used for steaming and those used for inhalation or massage. Oak and birch are great for vaping, eucalyptus for inhalation.

The best steaming is provided by an oak broom. Its leaf is wide, the broom itself is more voluminous and takes more steam in one stroke. Such steaming is suitable, for example, for athletes and for those who experience great physical exertion.

But a birch broom is very useful for smokers: it helps to remove phlegm. It is also good for them to rub, as birch leaves have antiseptic properties, relieve irritation and soothe.

A good oak or birch broom can be used repeatedly. The main thing is to dry it well after the steam room so that it can breathe oxygen.

Bonus from Lifehacker: broom massage technology

Basic tricks

Stroking. 2-3 times slowly walk with a broom from the neck to the feet. Pay attention not only to the central part of the body, but also to the sides. Such slow movements are ideal at the beginning of the massage.

Compress. Raise the broom to the ceiling, shake, capturing hot air, and briefly (from one to five seconds) press against the body. The best places for compresses are the lower back, shoulder blades, feet or problem areas (for example, sore muscles).

Stretching. It is performed with two brooms: both are placed on the lower back, and then simultaneously spread to the sides (one - to the feet, the other - to the back of the head). The same technique can be performed in the area of ​​​​the shoulder blades and knees.

Fastening. Stroking movements with the end of a broom, which necessarily end with stroking. Can be performed on almost all parts of the body.

whipping. A stronger technique, before which it is necessary to raise a broom and capture hot air. It is optimal to do 2-3 blows to the body after each air capture. You can combine the procedure with compresses.

Plowing. Flying movements with a broom in the direction of the steamer, which are performed along the entire body. The goal is to surround it with a pleasant flow of hot air.

Trituration. A treatment ideal at the end of a massage. With one hand, the broom is held by the handle, with the other, slightly pressing on the leafy part, they rub the whole body. The trunk can be rubbed in all directions, and the limbs are better along.

Necessary clarifications

  1. During the massage, a wet broom is used, that is, it needs to be moistened periodically. If the broom is initially dry, it is first steamed out: first, it is kept for 10-20 minutes in cold water, then 1-3 minutes in hot water.
  2. Do not wave the broom strongly if it is very hot in the steam room (more than 60 ° C). Otherwise, you can burn the soaring.
  3. After the massage, you do not need to abruptly get up from the shelf. You should rest for at least a couple of minutes.

Is it possible to plunge into the snow after a bath

It is best to plunge into the snow during the bath, and not after: that is, after rubbing with snow, you need to steam again. In no case should you immediately gather and go out into the air after rubbing.

Only hardened and trained people can rub themselves with snow or pour cold water after a steam room.

Such temperature drops are an incredible load on the vessels. Therefore, people with varicose veins and thrombosis should avoid this.

What cosmetic procedures to perform

In the bath, peelings and scrubs are used. Someone buys them in stores, someone cooks on their own. Of the homemade scrubs, the most popular is salt with honey.

The task of such cosmetics is to cleanse the skin, improve its color and texture, and increase elasticity. Their use is most effective in the bath, because after the steam room the upper layers of the epidermis are prepared for the procedure, and it absorbs useful substances better.

But after the bath it is better not to apply any cosmetics, especially oils. The only exception is for those with dry skin.

Going to the bath, remember that this is not a place for disputes. Here everything happens in a measured and leisurely manner, so you need to adjust to the unhurried bathing rhythm. Just have fun and rejuvenate. After all, this is why we come to the bath.

Like a bath sheet. National Achievement

The Russian steam bath is one of the few achievements of the national culture that has survived to this day in good health and almost completely unchanged. We are steaming now in the same way as our ancestors during the time of Prince Vladimir the Red Sun - improvements and improvements are not fundamental. And the bath broom, the main source of steamy grace, has not changed even more.

For spirit and color

At a time when there were no detergents, and ash liquor (strained infusion of furnace ash) was used for washing, only a broom could help achieve the main goals of the bath procedure - warm up, steam, wash and get aesthetic pleasure.

With the advent of personal care products and washing powders, the beauty of the broom has not been forgotten. On the contrary, it even intensified. Broom is a natural product, without chemicals and preservatives, and in our time it is relevant.

Two types of brooms were traditionally used in the Russian bath - deciduous (birch, oak, linden) and coniferous (pine, spruce, juniper).

Oak brooms in Central and Northern Russia are in short supply. Linden is used by especially sophisticated bathing aesthetes. Coniferous brooms treat themselves to lovers of rather cool sensations with a certain amount of self-torture; of coniferous brooms, pine is preferable, since spruce and juniper, although fragrant and healing, are too prickly and short-lived.

How to prepare

The rules for harvesting and storing brooms are the same for all types.

Brooms are harvested in the first two decades of June, when the trees have blossomed into a full leaf, but the leaf itself has not yet had time to harden, and a cork layer has not formed at the bases of young shoots. It is better to cut birch, oak and linden brooms from young trees, acting from the ground. The thickness of the branches should not exceed 4-5 mm. In pines, the apical shoots are cut off, the lower part of which is cleared of needles. It is necessary to take the most densely foliated branches from the juniper bush, but in no case cut the entire bush - spare the juniper, it grows so slowly!

The main requirements for a bath broom: in shape it should be flat, like a fan, and light in weight, in a dry state it should almost not be felt in the hand. The best size of a broom is 40-45 cm in length and width.

Cut branches are dismantled, leafless twigs and knots are removed, then tied in 5-7 pieces. It is imperative to tie the ends of the branches in two places so that the broom does not "walk" and does not fall apart. For tying, jute or hemp twine is required. Kraft paper rope will swell and break due to moisture, and synthetic packing twine and metal wire are completely unacceptable.

Tied brooms are laid out in a dark, dry place, which is sheltered from the sun and well ventilated. You need to lay them out on a wide flat surface (flooring made of plywood or boards), in layers of 3-4 pieces thick - this helps the brooms keep their shape, stay flat. Once every few days, brooms are sorted and shifted. If the air temperature is high (over 26 ° C), and the humidity is low, brooms should be lightly sprinkled with water once a day - so that the leaves do not start to fly off from dryness.

On properly prepared brooms, leaves and needles do not dry out, but wither and ferment, retaining their natural aroma and beneficial properties.

"Competent" deciduous broom can be stored for several years, coniferous - about a year. It is better to store them 1-2 pieces in polyethylene or kraft paper bags.

An improperly prepared broom will give itself away - it will fly around and turn into a golik broom, suitable only for sweeping.

On shelves to the ceiling

The bath is heated, the heater is hot, it's time to take a steam bath. But even here there are tricks.

First, the broom must be steamed so that it becomes soft and "give spirit". In no case do not use metal bowls for this! An enamel basin will come off. But best of all - a bath tub made of wooden staves. Do not steam the broom with steep centigrade boiling water from the boiler - it will simply boil out and fly around. The water temperature should not exceed 60-70 ° C, and the steaming time should be one and a half to two minutes. There is another way: dip the broom in hot water, place it in a large plastic bag, tie the neck and leave for 10-15 minutes - this kind of zaparka is "delicate".

Contrary to popular belief, whipping with a broom backhand is not necessary at all. Much nicer and more useful other tricks.

"Tight steam". After removing the steamed broom and carefully shaking off excess water from it, turn on the steam, climb onto the shelves and twist the broom under the ceiling - a wave of hot "tight" steam and the corresponding aroma will cover you from head to toe.

Shaking. Warm up the broom for a few seconds over the heater, climb onto the shelves and shake the broom at a distance of 2-3 cm from the body.

Pat. Slightly pat yourself with a warm broom, holding it on the skin for 2-3 seconds with each blow.

Stretch The same as patting, but do not hold the broom, but stretch it over the body with a stroking movement.

If the steam has cooled down and become "sluggish", then the pleasure and benefits of a bath broom are reduced. Therefore, do not forget to regularly steam and warm the broom over the heater.

But do not be too zealous: one session of "tight steam" and broom procedure should not last more than 5-7 minutes, because their effect is quite strong. Then, within 10-15 minutes, you need to cool down and rest in the dressing room before the next entry into the steam room.

And the last thing: when steaming with a broom, do not drink alcohol, even light beer - this will not bring anything but harm. Bath thirst is best quenched with mineral water, kvass or green tea.

The Russian steam bath is one of the few achievements of the national culture that has survived to this day in good health and almost completely unchanged. We are steaming now in the same way as our ancestors during the time of Prince Vladimir the Red Sun - improvements and improvements are not fundamental.

Two types of brooms were traditionally used in the Russian bath - deciduous (birch, oak, linden) and coniferous (pine, spruce, juniper).

Oak brooms in Central and Northern Russia are in short supply. Linden is used by especially sophisticated bathing aesthetes. Coniferous brooms treat themselves to lovers of rather cool sensations with a certain amount of self-torture; of coniferous brooms, pine is preferable, since spruce and juniper, although fragrant and healing, are too prickly and short-lived.

How to prepare

The rules for harvesting and storing brooms are the same for all types.

Brooms are harvested in the first two decades of June, when the trees have blossomed into a full leaf, but the leaf itself has not yet had time to harden, and a cork layer has not formed at the bases of young shoots. It is better to cut birch, oak and linden brooms from young trees, acting from the ground. The thickness of the branches should not exceed 4-5 mm. In pines, the apical shoots are cut off, the lower part of which is cleared of needles. It is necessary to take the most densely foliated branches from the juniper bush, but in no case cut the entire bush - spare the juniper, it grows so slowly!

The main requirements for a bath broom: in shape it should be flat, like a fan, and light in weight, in a dry state it should almost not be felt in the hand. The best size of a broom is 40-45 cm in length and width.

Cut branches are dismantled, leafless twigs and knots are removed, then tied in 5-7 pieces. It is imperative to tie the ends of the branches in two places so that the broom does not "walk" and does not fall apart. For tying, jute or hemp twine is required. Kraft paper rope will swell and break due to moisture, and synthetic packing twine and metal wire are completely unacceptable.

Tied brooms are laid out in a dark, dry place, which is sheltered from the sun and well ventilated. You need to lay them out on a wide flat surface (flooring made of plywood or boards), in layers of 3-4 pieces thick - this helps the brooms keep their shape, stay flat. Once every few days, brooms are sorted and shifted. If the air temperature is high (over 26 ° C), and the humidity is low, brooms should be lightly sprinkled with water once a day - so that the leaves do not start to fly off from dryness.

On properly prepared brooms, leaves and needles do not dry out, but wither and ferment, retaining their natural aroma and beneficial properties.

"Competent" deciduous broom can be stored for several years, coniferous - about a year. It is better to store them 1-2 pieces in polyethylene or kraft paper bags.

An improperly prepared broom will give itself away - it will fly around and turn into a golik broom, suitable only for sweeping.

On shelves to the ceiling

The bath is heated, the heater is hot, it's time to take a steam bath. But even here there are tricks.

First, the broom must be steamed so that it becomes soft and "give spirit". In no case do not use metal bowls for this! An enamel basin will come off. But best of all - a bath tub made of wooden staves. Do not steam the broom with steep centigrade boiling water from the boiler - it will simply boil out and fly around. The water temperature should not exceed 60-70 ° C, and the steaming time should be one and a half to two minutes. There is another way: dip the broom in hot water, place it in a large plastic bag, tie the neck and leave for 10-15 minutes - this kind of zaparka is "delicate".

Contrary to popular belief, whipping with a broom backhand is not necessary at all. Much nicer and more useful other tricks.

"Tight steam". After removing the steamed broom and carefully shaking off excess water from it, turn on the steam, climb onto the shelves and twist the broom under the ceiling - a wave of hot "tight" steam and the corresponding aroma will cover you from head to toe.

Shaking. Warm up the broom for a few seconds over the heater, climb onto the shelves and shake the broom at a distance of 2-3 cm from the body.

Pat. Slightly pat yourself with a warm broom, holding it on the skin for 2-3 seconds with each blow.

Stretch The same as patting, but do not hold the broom, but stretch it over the body with a stroking movement.

If the steam has cooled down and become "sluggish", then the pleasure and benefits of a bath broom are reduced. Therefore, do not forget to regularly steam and warm the broom over the heater.

But do not be too zealous: one session of "tight steam" and broom procedure should not last more than 5-7 minutes, because their effect is quite strong. Then, within 10-15 minutes, you need to cool down and rest in the dressing room before the next entry into the steam room.

And the last thing: when steaming with a broom, do not drink alcohol, even light beer - this will not bring anything but harm. Bath thirst is best quenched with mineral water, kvass or green tea.

What to do if the relationship is already established, you want to “untie” them, but your ex-chosen one is unbearably painful to hear this? So much so that a person does not let go, walks on the heels, asks (and sometimes demands) to return? And all this goes on for days, months, years on end?

The love that will lead us to a happy marriage and a golden wedding is already more of a myth than the truth. We search, we try, we stumble, we part, and we start searching again. Of course, it would be nice to learn how to find your soul mate the first time. But what to do if the relationship is already established, you want to “untie” them, but your ex-chosen one is unbearably painful to hear this? So much so that a person does not let go, walks on the heels, asks (and sometimes demands) to return? And all this goes on for days, months, years on end?

Leave, you can't stay!

I look at the clock: half past five. Andrei works until five and knows that on Fridays I come to visit my mother. I have a difficult choice in front of me: go to visit my mother and startle at the next rustle outside the door - or go with my friends to where he won’t think to look for me and where he won’t set foot: to a nightclub on the other side of the city.

Yes, my life has become a real madness ever since I decided to break up with my husband. Everything had been going to this for a long time: it was boring and joyless for me to live with him. With every year spent together, I realized that I had made a big mistake. We had nothing to talk about, the sexual attraction to him faded. It was not life, but an empty waste of time next to a stranger, not interesting to me.

The news that I was leaving, Andrei did not accept. He locked me at home, changed the locks in the apartment, nailed the cabinets. I got scared and ran away without taking anything with me. She went to her mother, who was waiting for another siege the next day.

Andrei called by phone, came to our house. He tirelessly guarded me under the entrance, sent his friends to us with chic bouquets of flowers. It was all terribly awkward, humiliating, embarrassing. A compassionate mother tried to persuade me to go out to talk to him, because he “is so killed, go ahead, he will also start drinking or die from the cold.” I knew that if I went out, I would give up.

I screamed: “No! Not! I'm filing for divorce! I don't love you, I don't love you in the slightest! GET OFF!"

But he did not understand, stubbornly stood his ground. He said: "Tell me what's wrong! Tell me what to do - I'll do it! I'll fix it - just tell me how!"

He got down on his knees and cried. He was shaking with cold and grief. And I felt that I was falling into another trap, shouted at him in impotent anger, suffered from pity, but stood my ground.

Time passed, but nothing changed. I rented an apartment in an area unfamiliar to him, went home by a confused route (I knew that he could follow), did not invite anyone to my place, and I rarely appeared at home. I've been to places that my ex-husband didn't even know existed. Andrei attacked my parents, called by phone (I could not change the number). And I "encrypted" further, while tirelessly looking for a way to get rid of his persecution.

You can't leave, you can't stay...

My dear. My only one You just don't understand how much I love you. You don’t understand that no one will love you more than me, no one will be able to.

You are naughty, you resist. You hurt me. But I'll wait.

After all, we lived so well together. We always had something to talk about and keep quiet. Rest - together, do something - also together, go somewhere - together again. You were satisfied with our life. What happened?

Maybe you are tired? From me? You just tell me what I'm doing wrong and I'll fix it. Just don't be silent, tell me - maybe I don't know what's eating you? But I won't know if you don't tell me.

Or maybe you met someone? Yes? Is that what it's all about? Did he screw your brains out?

But you understand that he will not love you the way I do. He won't want to do as much for you as I'm willing to do.

Just do not leave. Come back home. It's impossible to live here without you. Please…

History without a future

Breaking up with a man with an anal vector is really not easy. Not only because his ex-wife is often very sorry for him (such a man in their union usually feels good and comfortable, unlike her), but also because it is hard for him to understand and accept the fact that his family is falling apart, his wife does not want stay with him under the same roof, and their relationship no longer has a future.

How so - to leave? Why? All his wife's arguments about boredom, lack of common interests, sexual desire seem to him superficial, unimportant. After all, what is important for a person with an anal vector? Home, coziness, comfort. "We were so good together!" - the anal man says, and by "good" he means "comfortable", "convenient", "calmly". Not realizing that it is “good” for a wife with a different set of vectors (most often with a skin vector from below, opposite to the anal one) - a real mortal boredom, a useless waste of life and a synonym for despondency.

He asks his wife to tell him what's the matter, explain what's what ... Yes, this is in his repertoire: they have a rigid, somewhat clumsy thinking, so be flexible and put yourself in the place of another in order to understand what the problem is, they extremely hard. However, even after very detailed explanations, insight does not come if there is no understanding that the nature of his wife is completely different: she gets joy and pleasure from communicating with different people, frequent changes of scenery, fast movement around the city, but not from quiet evenings on the home couch at the telly.

However, the problem is not only this. The representative of the anal vector is monogamous by nature: if he has already chosen a wife, then she should be his one and only for life. In his understanding, the wife’s desire to leave is something frivolous, a whim, a “temporary insanity” that will surely pass. With time. We just have to wait. But he is very patient - and the truth will wait ...

Attached like a bath leaf, a husband with an anal vector goes to the “siege” of a capricious wife, confident that this will help. He gives her gifts, stubbornly waits under the porch, calls, connects friends and relatives to the attack, not understanding the main thing: there is no future for such relationships anymore.

Finally realizing that the marriage is over, the representative of the anal vector for a very long time cannot come to terms with the fact that his wife cannot be returned, as well as family happiness with his “only one”. It appears in his soul, viscous and sticky, from which it will be very difficult for him to get out. The resentment fixes his negative experience in the memory, grows to resentment against the entire female gender, and then there is a desire to take revenge as compensation for the “moral damage” caused.

How will he take revenge? It all depends on the level of development and fullness of his anal and other vectors. It can be just a threat, and which he will definitely carry out.

This, of course, is the most negative scenario for the development of events. But, unfortunately, it is also the most common one: offended, thirsting for revenge, our poor anal man not only will not be able to build new relationships, but also has every chance of getting bogged down in sexual and social frustrations.

I realized that if I do nothing, he will not leave. Should I move to another city? This is too much.

I recently learned about a new psychology that allows you to find out everything about a person - his true desires and motives for actions. It helps to communicate, understand myself and others, which means it will help in my difficult situation.

Having studied system-vector psychology, I came to the conclusion that there is a solution, albeit a very difficult one. I have long, serious conversations and exhortations ahead of me. I will take care of Andrei at the time of the breakup worse than his mother, in a confidential tone to explain that I am to blame for him, that our paths cannot continue to go together, that he deserves a completely different person. You just need to make sure that he does not blackmail me or insult me ​​- otherwise you will have to run away from him without looking back.

Well, with God!

Love or nostalgia?

Something has changed in our relationship with Anya. I began to understand that she is still not my person. Nice, sweet, but I really, really, probably need someone else. I don't know until I'm sure.

Anya stopped hiding from me and running around like a stupid girl. And I stopped being angry with her. We meet in a cafe, drink tea and talk. Turns out she can be a great friend. I like that Anya admitted her mistakes. But before all the time she poked a finger at me, saying that I was to blame for everything. Still, this is unfair - because both are to blame.

She is still so dear, close, so sometimes you want to return our family life. But as soon as Anya opened up and wanted to solve our problems in a human way, it became much easier for me. I do not know what will happen next, but I calmed down. Perhaps this is no longer love, but just nostalgia ...

The science of parting

The science of parting is a complicated thing, especially if there is a person with an anal vector in a couple. However, having knowledge of system-vector psychology, one can solve even the most complex problem. It just takes a little patience and desire.

How to competently part with a representative of the anal vector? Do not hide, do not run, do not cut relationships in one fell swoop (unless, of course, you are not a sadist, a murderer or a person close to that). Such behavior will be a strong blow for the anal, which it is very difficult for him to cope with alone. Failing to cope, he will plunge into difficult states of resentment and a thirst for revenge, which can be directed specifically against you.

Remember that such an event in the life of a faithful, devoted, loving man with an anal vector is always a tragedy, shock, injustice and a feeling that he was not given enough. Neutralize this feeling with carefully selected intonations, words, meanings that spare his mentality (use his own keywords: “I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm guilty, I'm ashamed”). Communicate with him in a friendly way, listen to his complaints, support - but do not give up, be true to your intention to leave. Slowly but surely, he realizes that there has been a break. And it will not be as tragic for him as your abrupt departure, which does not tell him anything.

Breaking up with a man with an anal vector is important not only for you, but also for him, for his future, in which he can enter without resentment and disappointment, and with the knowledge of who next to him his life can be happier.

Alexey Novikov

Steam massage therapist at the Sandunovsky Baths.

Bath - an excellent tool for the prevention of colds and relieve emotional stress. In addition, it helps athletes regain strength by improving blood circulation and removing lactic acid. But all these effects can be achieved only under certain conditions.

Who should not go to the bath

The path to the bath is closed to those people who have:

  1. Neuropsychiatric disorders. This also includes alcoholism.
  2. Any abnormalities in the work of the cardiovascular system.
  3. Problems with the kidneys and digestive system.
  4. Violation of the skin.

But even if you do not suffer from any of these diseases, it is always better to play it safe and consult a specialist.

What not to do in the bath

Before the steam room, you can’t wash in the shower with soap, you can only rinse. The fact is that with soap the protective layer is erased and the skin becomes more sensitive.

Before visiting the steam room, you should not wet your head, otherwise the heat transfer will increase and you will get a heat stroke. For the same reason, it is better to protect your head with a special bath hat. She, among other things, does not allow the hair to dry out.

Do not drink carbonated drinks in front of the steam room. Alcohol is not recommended before visiting, during, or even after the bath.

You don't have to overeat. But you should not go to the bath hungry either. and herbal teas are the best choice.

When is the best time to steam

There is an opinion that it is better to go to the bath in winter. But you can steam in the summer. In the heat of the bath helps the body to adapt to high temperatures. The pores open, the work of the sweat glands increases, which helps to improve heat transfer. Plus, the body gets rid of toxins, it just becomes easier to breathe. Leaving the steam room in the summer, many note this fact.

So experienced bath attendants do not recognize seasonality.

If we talk about the time of day, it is better to listen to your biological clock. For example, many larks come to the first steam (in Sanduny it is at 8 o'clock in the morning). They assure that after the bath they work better and do everything in time. Owls, on the contrary, prefer evening sessions and after the bath they are only capable of a serene sleep.

How to steam

As a rule, the following formula is comfortable for the body: three visits to the steam room for 6-10 minutes with breaks of 20 minutes. But in the fourth run, you can go to the brooms: the body is already prepared for them emotionally and physically.

Which broom to choose

There are two types of brooms: those used for steaming and those used for inhalation or massage. Oak and birch are great for vaping, eucalyptus for inhalation.

The best steaming is provided by an oak broom. Its leaf is wide, the broom itself is more voluminous and takes more steam in one stroke. Such steaming is suitable, for example, for athletes and for those who experience great physical exertion.

But a birch broom is very useful for smokers: it helps to remove phlegm. It is also good for them to rub, as birch leaves have antiseptic properties, relieve irritation and soothe.

A good oak or birch broom can be used repeatedly. The main thing is to dry it well after the steam room so that it can breathe oxygen.

Bonus from Lifehacker: broom massage technology

Basic tricks

Stroking. 2-3 times slowly walk with a broom from the neck to the feet. Pay attention not only to the central part of the body, but also to the sides. Such slow movements are ideal at the beginning of the massage.

Compress. Raise the broom to the ceiling, shake, capturing hot air, and briefly (from one to five seconds) press against the body. The best places for compresses are the lower back, shoulder blades, feet or problem areas (for example, sore muscles).

Stretching. It is performed with two brooms: both are placed on the lower back, and then simultaneously spread to the sides (one - to the feet, the other - to the back of the head). The same technique can be performed in the area of ​​​​the shoulder blades and knees.

Fastening. Stroking movements with the end of a broom, which necessarily end with stroking. Can be performed on almost all parts of the body.

whipping. A stronger technique, before which it is necessary to raise a broom and capture hot air. It is optimal to do 2-3 blows to the body after each air capture. You can combine the procedure with compresses.

Plowing. Flying movements with a broom in the direction of the steamer, which are performed along the entire body. The goal is to surround it with a pleasant flow of hot air.

Trituration. A treatment ideal at the end of a massage. With one hand, the broom is held by the handle, with the other, slightly pressing on the leafy part, they rub the whole body. The trunk can be rubbed in all directions, and the limbs are better along.

Necessary clarifications

  1. During the massage, a wet broom is used, that is, it needs to be moistened periodically. If the broom is initially dry, it is first steamed out: first, it is kept for 10-20 minutes in cold water, then 1-3 minutes in hot water.
  2. Do not wave the broom strongly if it is very hot in the steam room (more than 60 ° C). Otherwise, you can burn the soaring.
  3. After the massage, you do not need to abruptly get up from the shelf. You should rest for at least a couple of minutes.

Is it possible to plunge into the snow after a bath

It is best to plunge into the snow during the bath, and not after: that is, after rubbing with snow, you need to steam again. In no case should you immediately gather and go out into the air after rubbing.

Only hardened and trained people can rub themselves with snow or pour cold water after a steam room.

Such temperature drops are an incredible load on the vessels. Therefore, people with varicose veins and thrombosis should avoid this.

What cosmetic procedures to perform

In the bath, peelings and scrubs are used. Someone buys them in stores, someone cooks on their own. Of the homemade scrubs, the most popular is salt with honey.

The task of such cosmetics is to cleanse the skin, improve its color and texture, and increase elasticity. Their use is most effective in the bath, because after the steam room the upper layers of the epidermis are prepared for the procedure, and it absorbs useful substances better.

But after the bath it is better not to apply any cosmetics, especially oils. The only exception is for those with dry skin.

Going to the bath, remember that this is not a place for disputes. Here everything happens in a measured and leisurely manner, so you need to adjust to the unhurried bathing rhythm. Just have fun and rejuvenate. After all, this is why we come to the bath.
