MIND SET – Part 2 of 2

To answer the above queries sufficient reasoning and logical power has to be developed. This comes through meditation. Pranayam is a method which is most important tool for Mind setting.  The process of Pranayam is different from breath holding. Though in Pranayam breath holding is an important constituent, but it is something more than that. In Pranayam the breath holding is for a short time. Some people argue that breath holding leads to transient ischemia in brain. True, this may occur if it is done for a longer period. But if Pranayam is learnt from an expert and properly practiced, it is rather beneficial. Now I shall elaborate this process of setting your mind through Pranayam Yoga.

This is an old method practiced by the Rishis, monies, warriors and thus everybody. The performer squats with spine straight up. The arms are stretched and the three fingers are folded. The thumb and index fingers are folded in such a way that their tips touch each other to make letter O. The three fingers are then opened and kept in straight stretched position. The fingers are placed on both the knees.  The head is held high and stretched. Both the eyes are closed. A complete blankness is felt. With the eyes closed, the mind is set in such a way that full concentration is fixed between the two eyebrows. A deep breath is taken, the breath is held for a moment. Then slowly the breath is exhaled. With the eyes closed this process is repeated three or four times. During this time individual concentrates on the problem or subject about which the mind has to be set. With regular practice one learns to be cut off from the external environment and the mind starts setting on the subject in question.

This posture is known as Kamal Asana or Lotus Asana. The importance of this Asana is that it puts your body, mind and soul in a state of complete discipline, which is very important for meditation.  When you are not speaking then you hear a voice within you. This is thought process and is controlled by your thought centre. You attain a stage where you are mentally cut of from the surroundings.

In the stage of strategic planning you need to perform SWOT analysis. In this you judge your strengths, weaknesses, obstacles and threats. In case you are not reaching any conclusion, you might be lacking something in the knowledge of the subject. You might need counseling or advice. The mind has to be set on some target or goal. Once the goal is set then only you can try to set your mind.

Mind setting is a process of practice and learning through personal experiences or having knowledge of personal experiences of others. But in all eventualities one should be under an aura of positive energy. Yes I can do it attitude is a must for positivity. Keep in mind the environment around or the place where you live, times of events around, the people around and culture of the people around. 



MIND SET – Part 1 of 2

Human mind is a complex organ. It has a great power to receive the information, to store and process the data and send instructions to act as per the needs of the body part or organ for action. For example, there is a simple prick on the finger, the information is sent to the higher centers, it is interpreted and the information is sent via the motor nervous system that the finger be removed from the site of prick. If required the order is given to the other parts of the body to assist in this task. This is one simple mechanism.

Thus there are three types of such systems namely:

1 The Sympathetic Nervous System

2 The Para Sympathetic Nervous System

3 The Autonomic Nervous System

Cosmetic Surgery in India

India is a land of mixed cultures.While life in metros is trying to keep pace with the international community,life in other cities and towns lacks in many newer facilities. Life style in metros is a lot different,and so are thier needs With the growing sense of having good looks, cosmetic medicine and surgery is picking up business opportunities.Thus many centres are opening and they are competing with each other to attract the clients. Not only western systems of meddicine are creeping in,but even Indian systems are advocating their supremacy over others. Whether it is herbal system or non herbal, in any case one must ensure as to who is treating and who is being treated.

Asense of looking good is prevailing in humans probably since the dawn of civilisation. It is not bad or sin. But the medicines are to be prepared in accordance with the priciples already laid down. But unfortunately the required precautionary measures are not being addhered to. With the result instead of a lot of harm is done. I always advise my patients to understand the proceedures. The treating physician, whether he/she opts for medical or surgical measures for the patient will definetly counsel before starting the therapy.

If you are going to unqualified or less qualified person you may be harmed instead. Therefore I always advice my patients to understand the therapy espacially the laser and other surgical treatments before the start of treatment.

Anti corruption movement in India Part -3

The various financial irregularities made in the form of scams were being tried by PUC then after JPC. Both these committees have proven to be lacking in their spheres of covering all affected persons. Now the introduction of LokPal being is being kept in waiting for the last 42 years.

People want a corruption free nation. Anna Hazare and his committee feel that LokPal Bill is the solution. If enforced with good intentions, the bill may prove to be of some use. But it is said that all is fair in politics. The political parties run on donations. The major portion of funds of political parties comes from corporate houses. They will definitely expect some sort of favor. Similarly wherever and whenever individual members of civil society will demand favors, the element of money consideration will creep in.

Nevertheless if entire power will go in the hands of one member of civil society, will it not be a sort of Anarchy? Instead of that, will it not be better to entrust these powers to the President? Let us see what shape the bill takes and how forcefully it is implemented? The motive behind the entire movement is not less important.

Thought of the day

It matters less as to who has said something; but it matters more as to what has been said.

Anti corruption movement in India Part -2

The entire nation is supporting the movement. Even the political parties agree to it.

No political leadership admits that it is corrupt. All agree that elected leaders are peoples' representatives.
They say this is a premature movement. Why don't the politicians realise that this an emergency situation.
The bill in question will be binding not only on the government but also on the people. Then why they donot
agree to the legitimate and just demand of the people. Are they waiting for casualties vis-a-vis mutiny? One thing is sure that in India there is democracy and not anarchy.

Anti-corruption Movement in India Part-1

Under the Leadership of Shri Anna Hazare

India is a peace loving country.Since independence, due the systemic structure the economic corruption is becoming the order of the day.Nobody could gather courage to come forward and take the lead so that the suffering community at large could get relief. Now that leaders like Anna Hazare,Swami Ramdev, Kiran Bedi have dared to come forward, the major part of population is behind them. I hope that before start of the movement these Wise of the country might have well worked the strategy, so that the movement gives relief to the suffering masses. The movement will definitely gain the momentum. I shall like to give my view point :-
