As you read through Christian texts, you might notice a number of commonalities to Hindu readings. You might see that both religions emphasize love and surrender, for example. The idea that God is ever-present is another similarity. As you come upon these similarities, make note of them because they can help you weather the transition process. For example, Hindus often emphasize the idea of long-standing devotion to God, including the surrender of one's body and mind. Christians often teach the same beliefs. Some Hindus choose not to consume meat and, if that was your choice, you can continue to do so as a Christian. There are many Christians who choose to lead a vegetarian lifestyle for personal, health, or religious reasons. You can decide to wear a cross around your neck. Or, you can continue to don the bindi, if you are a woman. If you are a man, you may want to untie the Hindu white thread around your torso, or leave it intact. These are also changes that you can make over time. As you go through the conversion process, you may want to 'feel out' your Hindu friends to see how they feel about your choices. If they are supportive, you may be able to open up to them about your struggles. If they are resistant, then you may need to get some distance from them and try to rebuild your relationships later. Depending on the religious restrictions where you live, you may need to contact a local government official to let them know about your conversion. If this is the case, you will generally have to attest that you made this decision out of free will and without being pressured. For example, in India many personal religious changes must be logged by a local oath commissioner. Understand any perils to your personal safety as a result of your decision to convert and take the proper safeguards. In some areas, Christian converts are targeted for violence. Try to determine if your conversion may have a larger impact on your ability to live safely in your current home. Depending on your local situation, if you are persecuted because of your faith, you may want to reach out to law enforcement authorities. You can also talk to church authorities about other options for personal protection.

Q: As you rinse the boneless fillets under cool water, use your fingers to remove any remnants that are stuck to the fillet from the gutting and bone removal process. Gently shake excess water from the fillets, and place them into a glass baking dish. Place the fillets skin side down into the baking dish to make it easier to marinate. Coat the fillets with 2UStbsp (30mL) of olive oil, 4 cloves of chopped garlic, and 1 1/2 tbsp (2.55 g) of chopped, dried rosemary. Use your fingers to rub the seasonings into the meat. Then, cover the baking dish and set it in the refrigerator so the fillets can marinate overnight. If you do not want to season your fillets before smoking them, then proceed to soak the fillets in brine after rinsing them. Pour the water into a large container that can hold about 4 US quarts (3,800mL). Add the kosher salt, and use a spoon to stir the water for 1-2 minutes or until the salt is completely dissolved. This will create a basic brine that will moisten and add flavor to the trout. Sweeten the brine by stirring in 1/2 cup (100 g) of brown sugar. Arrange your trout fillets so that all of them are submerged within the brine. Then, place a cover on the container and set it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours. Take a fillet out of the container with the brine, and rinse it under cool water until any excess brine has been removed. Then, use a paper towel to gently dry off the fillet. Discard the brine by pouring it down your kitchen sink, and then thoroughly rinse your sink with hot water. Take each fillet and place them on a baking rack. Make sure the skin side of the fillet is against the rack, as this will help expedite the drying process. If you do not have a baking rack large enough to support all of the fillets, use 2 smaller baking racks instead. Smaller baking racks might also be easier to place inside your refrigerator if it is filled with food. Rest the baking rack in a spot of your refrigerator where the fillets won't be disturbed. Leave the fillets overnight or for a full 24 hours so they can dry. The skin on the fillets will be shiny or slightly sticky when ready. If the skin does not seem shiny or sticky, then continue to refrigerate the fillets until the skin appears shiny. The tackiness is key to getting the smoke flavor to adhere to the meat. To make the baking rack easier to transport, set it inside of a baking sheet. This will also keep the raw fish from contaminating other items in your refrigerator.

You should be somewhat comfortable and have easy access to your vaginal opening. Take your non-dominant hand and separate the lips of your vulva (the labia) so that your vagina is exposed. Your dominant hand should be holding the applicator filled with cream. Relax and place the applicator into your vaginal opening. Insert it in your vagina and depress the plunger of the applicator using your index finger. Depress the plunger completely so that it stops moving and all the cream is inserted. It may help to point the applicator towards the small of your back when you place it into your vaginal opening. Remove the applicator and dispose of it if you won't need it again. If you used a reusable applicator, wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse it well and let it air dry completely. Remember to wash and dry your hands. Since some of the cream may leak out, you might want to wear a sanitary pad (not a tampon) to collect any discharge.
