About Us: Happy 7th Anniversary BCalmBZen!

The website bcalmbzen.com was launched in March of 2017 by a person of modest means, intended as a portal to the world of information. Its purpose was and has always been to consider information about Living the Good Life and blogging and linking to publicly available information from all over the United States and the world. 

In October 2021, the site was expanded to include links to various religious and non-religious websites for the purpose of giving the reader the ability to explore the differences and similarities between individuals and groups.  But bcalmbzen has always been different from other websites.

First of all, the cost: time and money invested into this website is completely financed by the creator of the site. Since 2017, there have never been ads or requests for contributions.  There is no clickbait income or political comment.  There is no miracle pill or book for sale. There are no kickbacks from the links back to the author.  This has been the policy for seven years and will not change unless bcalmbzen no longer becomes financially sustainable. We hope that day never arrives.

The Calm Tab: For those interested in meditation.

The Chakra Tab: For those interested in the Seven Chakra stones and their meaning.  Bcalmbzen does not profess any meaning for any particular stone.  We provide details of explanations provided over hundreds and sometimes thousands of years from various disciplines.

The Diet Tab: Three well-known diet theories (nutritional programs) are collected in one place for the purpose of comparison. We clearly recommend that every person should discuss dietary needs and changes with their physician.  Our role is to let readers know of their existence.

The LoVE Tab: This page has a dual purpose. First, it is to make information about the major religions of the world available from a single page, directly from the organizations themselves. We do not speak on their behalf or opine on their beliefs. Secondly, many of the sites offer live services that can be viewed online.  This allows the reader to better understand others and it also allows people to attend a service that they otherwise could not attend due to distance, transportation limitations, health, etc. Bcalmbzen takes into consideration recommendations from the public to add links to additional sites. The page is not static. There is no attempt by this website to convert, recruit or fundraise any reader for any religion or point of view.   There is also no attempt to steer anyone away from their personal belief system. 

The Nature Tab: Previously populated with pictures submitted, it has evolved to links to publicly available video, providing hours of calming and beautiful imagery of nature and quiet music.

The Quotes Tab: Updated periodically, there are quotes promoting kindness and peace from across time and from across the globe.

The Tai Chi Tab:  This page is the most detailed. It is available for all to view and more recently is aimed at local students of Tai Chi and Qigong to expand their knowledge and understanding of the practice. With around 250 million practitioners around the globe, tai chi is often cited as one of the world's most popular physical activities.

The Taisou Tab: A Japanese exercise that can be easily performed by most people without the long learning curve of tai chi, Taisou is offered on the bcalmbzen website as a service to those looking for a quick and simple daily exercise routine.

The Travel Tab:  A link to official websites, the Travel page allows easy access to information about the United States for those inclined to travel the country.  Also included are links to virtual tours of museums and locations around the world for everyone to enjoy, regardless of their ability to travel.

The Yoga Tab: Access to videos for those that enjoy the practice of Yoga, informational, especially for beginners.  Yoga is practiced by more than 300 million people around the world.

The Zen Tab: Like other pages on the site, the Zen tab is updated periodically to provide video and music that will help people be a little more calm and a little more zen in a busy, hectic world.

It is our hope that bcalmbzen will be available for anyone to read for many years to come.

Happy 7th Anniversary, BCalmBZen.com!

Peace
