Q: Lay paper towel, or a white fabric towel, flat on the spill. Don't press down or you might push the spill into the felt. Replace with dry towels multiple times until the majority of the spill is absorbed. The most important thing is to clean the spill up as soon as it happens to reduce the time it has to soak into the felt and the table board beneath it. If you spilled something besides water, gently dab at the spot with the damp towel. Rinse the towel multiple times to pull up as much of the spill as possible. Don't apply too much pressure as you dab at the spot. Never scrub at the spot because this will mess up the felt. After you have blotted the stain away with water, you can dab it with another dry towel to help it dry out faster, then allow it to air dry. If blotting the stain with water does not sufficiently remove it, mix a solution of vinegar and water at a ratio of 50/50. Dip a cloth in the solution and dab at the stain again. The vinegar will break the stains chemical bonds better than water. Rinse the cloth and dab repeatedly as needed. Vinegar is a less harsh solution than chemical cleaning products so it is safer for felt tables. If blotting the stain with a damp cloth does not completely remove the effects of the spill, use a cleaning product. Only use a cleaner that says it is specifically for pool table felt. Carpet cleaners and other stain removers can damage the felt worse than the spill did. Only use cleaners as a last resort if the spill is bad and can't be blotted away. Seek help from the manufacturer or a professional pool table dealer to determine which product you should use.
A: Place a dry, white towel on the spill immediately. Blot the spill with a white towel dampened with water. Use vinegar to lift stains. Use a pool table felt cleaner.

Q: Begin to concentrate on images of Shiva to guide your meditation. Envision Shiva as the victorious Yogi. Hold your hands in fists near your head. Shake them and think of a goal or intention. Say or think to yourself, "I am a winner. I reach my goal. My goal is," and name your goal. A goal or intention could be to succeed at a particular task or difficulty, like finding the motivation to complete a project, or improving a relationship with a friend or family member. Your goal could be more general, like being more present at work or when interacting with others, or being more honest and direct with yourself. Envision and become the strong Shiva with your next visualization. While sitting cross-legged, rub your feet on the ground. Visualize yourself high on the peaks of Mount Meru. Say or think to yourself, "I am sitting on the Mount Meru. I maintain equanimity in pain. I'm going with perseverance my way." Mount Meru is a mythical, five-peaked sacred mountain in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. It is also the name of a Himalayan mountain located in northern India. Make large circles with your hands around your body. Visualize the universe, cosmos, stars, and their interconnectedness. Say or think, "I live in the great system of the cosmos. I take things the way they are." Visualize within yourself the Kundalini Serpent. Envision your latent or primal power within your core. Twist your spine, move your toes and imagine the Kundalini uncoiling from your lower spine to your head. Say or think to yourself, "I am a Hatha Yogi. I save myself with my spiritual exercises." The Kundalini is your primal energy or latent power, thought of as a coiled serpent to be awakened. It rises from the base of your spine as it is awakened through meditation, chanting, yoga, and other spiritual practices. Envision and become Shiva the Good, who works for a happy world. Extend your hand with an upward- and outward-facing palm. Focus on your good intentions, and send all beings light. Say out loud or think, "I send light" and say a specific name or intention, or say to all things. Say, "May all beings be happy. May the world be happy."
A: Visualize Shiva as the Winner. See the strong Shiva. Envision the egoless Shiva and become egoless. Meditate on Shiva the Hatha Yogi. Visualize Shiva the Karma-Yogi.

Q: The most effective way to warm your hands is to exercise, which gets the blood pumping to your muscles and skin, warming your entire body. Pick up the pace a little if your hands get cold when you are out walking. Do some chores to get yourself moving. Do some squats, jumping jacks, or other aerobic exercises. Getting up and exercising on the spot isn't always an option, so if your hands get cold and you can't increase your heart rate with aerobics, do some hand and foot exercises. Wiggle your toes and fingers Move your hands in circles Clench and release your hands and feet Another way to get the blood flowing to your hands again is with a massage. Especially in the winter months when skin gets dry, spend some time massaging oil or cream into the skin of your arms, wrists, and hands. Don't forget to massage in between your fingers and your fingertips. Although this is a more long-term approach to warming your hands, both smoking and caffeine cause your blood vessels to constrict or narrow, and if there isn't enough blood flow to your hands, they will get cold. In cold months, try white teas instead of coffee to get your mornings going.
A:
Get moving. Do hand exercises. Massage your hands and arms. Stay away from cigarettes and caffeine.
