Fickle Weather

Waking up to a picture perfect morning with bright sunshine and a clear blue sky, it is easy to forget that there is a storm brewing somewhere in the country.

But yes there is as this hard driving rain made me remember just a few hours later..

Healing Origami

People may know that origami is the art of Japanese paper folding. What is not commonly known though is that origami has some health benefits that can be helpful to some people.

As an origami practioner, I can vouch that origami can be very relaxing and that it helps me fight stress. For that reason, I suspect that it can even help lower blood pressure even without medicine. This I want to find out in a more scientific way though.

It is said that origami can also help people who are suffering from depression. But apart from that, I believe that origami can help improve mental health in general as it exercises the mind and engages both our left and right brain.
