athletes are practicing meditation or mindfulness to improve performance and get mentally healthy. These two practices have many similarities and intersect at times, but there are stark differences between them. Meditation can be considered a type of formal spiritual or mental practice, while mindfulness is a quality we embody as an informal practice.
Meditation has been around for millennia, used for contemplation, reflection and/or focus. There are many different meditation lineages, including Transcendental Meditation, where we focus on a mantra for a specific duration, to vipassana, where we meditate in complete silence, focusing our attention on the breath. The similarity between all of the different types is a specific focus with the goal or purpose of stilling the mind and ideally moving towards a state of enlightenment.
Mindfulness is slightly different in its approach. According to founder Jon KabatZinn, mindfulness is “paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, nonjudgmentally.” This essentially is a quality that we begin to embody in our day-today life and cultivate through practice. In mindfulness, we follow specific precepts to help us live a more attentive state which include: beginner’s mind, patience, trust, non-striving, acceptance, letting go and non-judging. Mindfulness becomes more of a philosophy or way of life, rather than a specific technique to meditate. Many people practice living mindfully by becoming more present, using their senses intentionally and focusing on doing one thing at a time, rather than multitasking.
When we meditate, we can incorporate the qualities of mindfulness into the formal practice by paying attention to whatever the specific focal point is, depending on the type of meditation, being more present from minute-to-minute without judgement. We can become more aware our bodies by using our senses and allow our thoughts to come and go with greater ease by incorporating the foundations of mindfulness. Most of us want to avoid the mental, emotional or physical pains we feel when stop to meditate, but with the idea of acceptance, we can learn to ease up the fight or struggle, move toward a state of letting go and ultimately trust in the process.
Mindfulness is a way of living, while meditation is a way of being. Living mindfully can be enhanced with a daily meditation practice, and our meditation practice can be enhanced by becoming more mindful. They two go hand-in-hand and complement one another.

How Fair Trade Can Change the World
netrun78/AdobeStock.com
Fair trade is an alternative international business model that puts people and the planet first. It is designed to help growers and producers in developing countries achieve sustainable, fair relationships with exporters and consumers in wealthier parts of the globe. It focuses particularly on commodities like coffee, tea, textiles and seafood, and works to ensure sustainable prices, better working conditions and higher environmental standards.
According to the Fair World Project, “The fair trade movement shares a vision of a world in which justice and sustainable development are at the heart of trade structures and practices both at home and abroad, so that everyone through their work can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood.”
At least five fair trade organizations certify compliance. While the criteria of each varies, certification typically requires companies to allow a third party to audit their business practices and monitor production to ensure standards are met.
Fair trade goods can cost slightly or significantly more than conventionally traded purchases, which may explain why ethical and fair trade products make up only 1 percent of the total market. But the trend is growing: In 2018, sales of fair trade produce in the U.S. rose by 30 percent, with 60 products available. International sales of a major German-based certifier, Fairtrade International, increased almost 10fold between 2004 and 2016, from $939 million to $8.9 billion.
Consider these steps to achieve ethical, sustainable shopping:
Protect the rights of produce work-
ers. Fair trade bananas, avocados, coconut products and cashews often come from small growers in Africa, Latin America and Asia, where cooperatives ensure them a living wage and better working conditions. These products may cost marginally more, but are readily available at many supermarkets.
Protect sustainable tea and cof-
fee farming. On fair trade tea and coffee farms, agrochemicals and genetically modified organisms are strictly prohibited, sustainable farming methods are encouraged and stringent programs for water conservation and proper waste disposal provide environmental stewardship.
Protect the oceans with fair trade
cotton. Buying clothing made with fair trade cotton means less synthetic apparel, so washing won’t shed microplastics that make their way into the ocean, fish and then our dinner plates.
Help build strong communities
with fair trade cosmetics. When the shea butter, cocoa butter, sugar and coconut oil used in many skincare products comes from fair trade producers, a fair price is paid, decent working conditions without child labor are assured and a portion of the money is returned to infrastructure or community projects. Makers of fair trade cosmetics often use vegan ingredients and animalfree testing, as well.

Nature’s Virus Killer
Copper can stop a cold before it starts
By Doug Cornell
Scientists have discovered a natural way to kill germs fast.
Now thousands of people are using it against viruses and bacteria in the nose and on the skin.
Colds start when cold viruses get in your nose. Viruses multiply fast. If you don’t stop them early, they spread and cause misery.
In hundreds of studies, EPA and university researchers have confirmed that viruses and bacteria die almost instantly when touched by copper.
That’s why ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper to purify water and heal wounds. They didn’t know about microbes, but now we do.
Scientists say the high conductance of copper disrupts the electrical balance in a microbe cell and destroys the cell in seconds.
Tests by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) show germs die fast on copper. So some hospitals tried copper for touch surfaces like faucets and doorknobs. This cut the spread of MRSA and other illnesses by over half, and saved lives.
The strong scientific evidence gave inventor Doug Cornell an idea. When he felt a cold about to start he fashioned a smooth copper probe and rubbed it gently in his nose for 60 seconds.
“It worked!” he exclaimed. “The cold never got going. That was September 2012. I use copper in the nose every time and I have not had a single cold since then.” “We can’t make product health claims,” he said, “so I can’t say cause and effect. But we know copper is antimicrobial.” He asked relatives and friends to try it. They reported the same thing, so he patented CopperZap® and put it on the market.
Soon hundreds of people had tried it. The feedback was 99% positive if they used the copper within 3 hours after the first sign of unwanted germs, like a tickle in the nose or a scratchy throat.
Early user Mary Pickrell said, “I can’t believe how good my nose feels.”
Pat McAllister, 70, received one for Christmas and called it “one of the best presents ever. This little jewel really works.”
Frequent flier Karen Gauci had been suffering after crowded flights. Though skeptical, she tried copper on travel days for 2 months. “Sixteen flights and
not a sniffle!” she exclaimed. Businesswoman Rosaleen says when people around her show signs of cold or flu, she uses copper morning and night. “It saved me last holidays,” she said. “The kids had crud going round and round, but not me.” Attorney Donna Blight tried copper for her sinus. “I am shocked!” she said. “My head cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.” A man with trouble breathing through his nose at night tried copper just before bed. “Best sleep I’ve had in years!” he said. In a lab test, technicians placed 25 million live flu viruses on a CopperZap. No viruses were found surviving soon after. Dr. Bill Keevil led one of the teams confirming the research. He placed millions of disease germs on copper. “They started to die literally as soon as they touched the surface,” he said. Some people press copper on a lip New device puts copper right right away if a warning tingle suggests where you need it. unwanted germs gathering there. The handle is curved and textured to increase contact. Copper can kill germs picked up on fingers and hands after you touch things other people have touched.
