Slid from the kitchen shelf;

Could not unfrown itself.
The hand that held may wrist

My right ear scraped a buckle.
You beat time on my head

With a palm cake hard by dirt,
Then waltzed me off to bed
Still clinging to your shirt

Soma taarifa hii kisha ujibu maswali ifuatayo.
Ukandaji
Je,unajua kuwa ukandaji wa mwili umetumika kama njia mojawapo ya matibabu toka dahari?
Watu wanaofahamika kutumia ukandaji kimatibabu toka jadi ni Wahindi,Wachina,Wagiriki,Warumi na
Waafrika.
Ukandaji unajulikana kuwa na manufaa makubwa kimatibabu. Mathalani,ukandaji hufungua

vitundu vya ngozi. Ufunguzi huu huondoa sumu mwilini kupitia kwa utoaji jasho. Pili,ukandaji
hupunguza mkazo wa misuli. Misuli ikiwa na mkazo zaidi kwa muda mrefu huleta urundikaji wa asidi.
Ukandaji huondoa asidi hii,huufanya mwili kuwa mlegevu,humletea mtu uchangamfu na kuondoa
uchovu.
Halikadhalika,ukandaji huimarisha mzunguko wa damu mwilini kwa wepesi. Hali hii

huhakikisha kuwa virutubishi vya mwili huweza kufikia viungo vyote vya mwili. Hili nalo huchangia
kuzidisha uwezo wa mwili kujikinga na maradhi. Hewa safi ya oksijeni huweza pia kusambaa kote
mwilini kupitia kwa uimarishaji wa mzunguko wa damu. Aidha,ukandaji wa taratibu na polepole
hupunguza mkazo wa neva na kuziliwaza ukandaji wa kasi huchangamsha neva na kuimarisha utendaji
kazi wake.
62 | P a g e
Ukandaji unaweza kufanyiwa kiungo chochote mwili ni. Ukandaji huu huweza kuwa na matokeo
mbalimbali mwilini.
Mathalani,ukandaji wa njia ya chakula mwilini,hasa tumbo na utumbo,huimarisha usagaji wa

chakula na kuchangia uondoaji wa uchafu na sumu mwilini. Nao ukandaji wa njia ya mkonjo hustawisha
uondoaji wa chembechembe za sumu mwilini.
Kwa kawaida,viganja vya mikono hutumika katika ukandaji. Viungo hivi vinapaswa kuwa na
wororo. Wororo huu hupatikana kwa kutumia mafuta. Mafuta ambayo ni bora zaidi kwa shughuli za
ukandaji ni ya ufuta au simsim. Matumizi ya kitu chochote kama ungaunga kinachoweza kuziba vitundu
vya ngozi hayapendekezwi.
Ukandaji wapaswa kutekelezwa kwa njia ifuatayo. Mtu aanzie mikono na miguu. Kisha aingie
kukanda kifua,tumbo,mgongo na makalio. Hatimaye,akande uso na kichwa. Mtu anaweza kutumia
kitambaa kukandia mgongo. Ni bora kutumia viganja vya mikono kukandia. Kwa njia hii,manufaa huwa
maradufu. Kwanza,tutanufaika na ukandaji na wakati huo huo tutakuwa tukifanya mazoezi ya viungo.
Wasioweza kujikanda,wanaweza kuomba msaada. Ni muhimu ukandaji ufuatiwe na kuoga kwa maji
vuguvugu.
Kwa walio na tatizo la shinikizo au mpumuko wa damu wanaweza kubadilisha utaratibu wa

ukandaji. Waanzie kichwani,kisha waelekee usoni,kifuani,tumboni,mgongoni,makalioni,miguuni na
kuhitimisha mikononi.
Hata hivyo,ukandaji haupaswi kufanywa wakati mtu anaugua maradhi yoyote. Wanawake
wajawazito nao wanatakiwa kuepuka ukandaji wa tumbo. Halikadhalika,ukandaji wa tumbo hauruhusiwi
wakati mtu anaendesha,ana vidonda vya tumbo au uvimbe tumboni. Hatimaye,ukandaji haupendekezwi
iwapo mtu ana maradhi ya ngozi.

(C) UFUPISHO
Soma taarifa hii kasha ujibu maswali
Kuna wataalamu siku hizi wanaosema kuwa jela si pahala pa adhabu bali pa matibabu. Yaani
madhumuni ya kumtia mhalifu jela isiwe kumwadhibu kwa makosa aliyofanya bali iwe kumtibu na
kujaribu kumrekebisha tabia yake ili awe raia mwema.
Zamani wahalifu waliadhibiwa kwa mujibu wa makosa waliyoyafanya. Mhalifu aliyefanya

makosa madogo madogo alifungwa lakini mtu aliyeua naye aliuawa. Sasa wataalamu wanatuambia kuwa
mhalifu akiadhibiwa anapokuwa kifunguno,basi akitoka hurejea tena kufanya uhalifu. Madhumuni ya
kumtia jela iwe si kumwadhibu bali kumfunza tabia njema. Wanatuambia kuwa makosa afanyayo
mhalifu yanatokana na matatizo ya jamii kwa jumla,nayo ni matatizo kama ya umaskini, msongamano
wa watu,kosa afanyalo mhalifu si kosa lake pekee bali ni kosa la jamii nzima.
Jitu lilizoea kuua halioni kitu kumpiga mtarimbo au rungu la kichwa na kumyang’anya kila alicho
nacho. Siku hizi,jitu kama hili baadhi ya wataalamu husema lisiuawe lifungwe maisha tu. Lakini
‘kifungo cha maisha’ ni kama tunavyokijua. Muuaji hufungwa pengine miaka kumi tu kisha
husamehewa muda uliobaki. Hapo tena huwa huru ama kuifichua mali aliyoiiba na kuistarehea raha
mustarehe au kurejea tena kufanya uhalifu.
Haya ni kinyume kabisa na mambo yaliyokuwa zamani. Aliyeua aliuawa kwa hivyo watu
waliogopa kuua. Raia na pia askari waliokuwa wakiwasaka wahalifu walinusurika vifo kwani wahalifu
wengine walichukua silaha za hatari kama bastola na bunduki.
Sasa wale wahalifu wabaya sana – mijizi, minyang’anyi na wauaji ndio wanaotukuzwa. Magazeti
huwashawishi makatili hawa na kuwapa mapesa chungu nzima waeleze maisha yao ya kikatili. Magazeti
haya sasa ndiyo yanayopata wasomaji wengi. Pia wachapishaji vitabu vya hadithi zinazohusikia na
uhalifu, biashara zao zinazidi kustawi. Kadhalika sinema zinazoonyesha picha za ukatili; wizi na mauji
hujaa watazamaji wanaoshangilia uhalifu ufanywao.
Wahalifu kwa upande mmoja wanatukuzwa na masinema vitabu na magazeti na kwa upande
mwingine “haki” zao zinapiganiwa na baadhi ya wataalamu. Watu wanaowalaani wahalifu ni wale
waliohasirika tu na kuteswa na wahalifu . Baadhi yao hata kulaani hawawezi kwa sababu
wameshauawa,hawana tena kauli.
