How do I motivate my wife to lead a more active lifestyle ?
She tells me she wants to get in better physical shape, and I buy her all of the equipment she needs, the running shoes, the outfits, the pilates mat and ball, the videotapes, the baby jogger, the iPod, but she never does anything. Am I being manipulated, or is there something else I can do to get her motivated without getting angry?
Serious answers only. Thank You.

Natural ways to increase progesterone in the female body?
For the last 5 months I have been getting my period every 40 to 50 days versus my usual 28 to 32 days. My gyno says I am not producing enough Progesterone and should perhaps take a pill called “Provera” to help with this and to regulate my period again. Honestly I am hoping that it goes back to the way it use to be without having to take any pills. I did not have a good experience with birth control so I am very hesitant in taking any hormones. I would rather do something natural. Perhaps a slight change in diet, more exercise, Yoga, aromatherapy..things of this nature which I hear can help. I suffer from IBS and GERD so I am almost certain that the change in diet and lifestyle I have had to make over the last year or so have contributed to these irregular periods. I was fairly sick over the last year as I tried to get control of my IBS and GERD, which have both improved greatly in the last year. My period seems to be the problem now, which in turn is making my GERD and IBS act up.
How to start a Buddhist / Zen lifestyle?
I want to become a Buddhist. I am most interested in the Tibetan and Zen types of Buddhism. I have several questions…
1. How do I become a Buddhist?
2. What should I eat in my diet?
3. Do I have to give up all material possessions or do I just not let them own me?
4. Should I practice meditation, Tai-chi, yoga?
5. Any other suggestions?
I’m 13 and my family is all Catholic, so I really would like to hear this from a real Buddhist, and I still practice Catholism because Buddhism is not a religion but a way of life. Now I would not like to recieve comments saying “Read the bible.”

Is it important to meditate?
There are so many different types of meditation for relaxing the body and mind. It seems the fad now to join some meditation or the other. But i see people benfiting from it immensely. I was wondering whether meditation gives a new lifestyle or a new perspective to the same life we are living.
