SEVEN RULES TO BEAT

THIS IS ONE OF THE GOOD ARTICLE FOUND IN TIMES OF INDIA (ECONOMIC TIMES WEB PAGE)

(1)
Personal is the new professional. You spend 12-16 hours at office. Your work is your .
Leaving any facet of yours out of the office will fragment you. Be yourself. Take personal calls. Put up pictures of your baby. This helps you give all of yourself to work too.

(2) Bring your ‘being’ in
More rules = more stress

Do you need that cup of tea, made just that way, at just that time of day? rules enhance stress levels. When you don’t get that cuppa at that time or get it too hot, you stress out. The lesser rules you bind yourself by, the lesser the stress.
(3)
Stop looking for similarity

If you look for like-minded people, you get stressed. There will always be people who won’t agree, who do things differently yet are as efficient. Respect differences and your stress will go down by volumes. Keep looking for people and resistance will be persistent, as will stress.

(4)
Forget focus

The 21st century is not for the focused. It belongs to the spontaneous, who go with the flow and change gears with ever changing whims of the team, hour or boss! spells success. Being focused gets you more stressed. Some things are always beyond your control.

(5) Perfection is a tragic flaw

your mistakes. Flawed people who accept their mistakes and are willing to improve constantly are valued much more than perfectionists who insist on everything going in a streamlined way. Being a perfectionist will only add to your stress. Being flawed and knowing it will set you free.

(6) Adventure is the game

Most stress stems from doing the same thing over and over again. Playing safe? More like recycling garbage! Do different things everyday. Without the stress of doing it ‘just’ right, you can let yourself goof up and actually have fun! Start from trying another dish at your restaurant.

(7) Stop using the S-word

For a , stress is the anticipation of meeting his lover. For an athlete, stress is the much needed rush. For many, stress is a much-abused word. Sometimes we are plain busy, fatigued or irritated but we call ourselves ‘stressed’. And when we believe we’re stressed, we actually are! Seven rules of survivors

Your

WITH YOGA. In fact helps to Leverage your personality.

A whole body of research indicates that the damage stress inflicts on the body is not restricted to only ulcers and heart disease, but also extends to the loss of immune function and memory. in the short term, stress is damaging, but over time it turns destructive - in the adrenal glands the cortex secretes cortisol which becomes toxic to brain cells, potentially damaging cognitive ability and increasing fatigue, anger and depression. the immune system gets weakened due to repeated suppression of disease-fighting cells, decreases in blood flow leave mucous lining vulnerable to ulcers, and the elevated blood pressure and heart rate damage elasticity of blood vessels. the above stress syndrome is not exclusive to executives in the corporate sector - it increasingly affects young women married in a joint family and school-going children too. the body of research on stress also confirms, based on empirical evidence, that both yoga and meditation are proven stress busters. the six personality types identified by american psychologist j.l.holland still constitute the most widely used vocational guidance test in the world. the conventional personality - people who are conforming, methodical, conscientious and efficient - tending to be inhibited and not wanting to stand out from the crowd suit occupations such as receptionists, accountants etc. the social type, who like people and enjoy mixing with them, make very good teachers, counsellors/therapists and management consultants. then there are the investigative personality - analytical, complex, curious and precise - usually researchers; the artistic personality - deeply nonconformist and original; the down-to-earth realistic personality - natural and genuine, usually pilots and engineers; and the enterprising personality, very self- confident and outgoing who are optimistic and inspire confidence in others. there is a persistent belief that we fall in one or two of the above personality types, but people do not realise that personalities can grow to include a balance of all the six. jung referred to this growth process as "individuation", and associated it with life's spiritual dimension. danah zohar evolves a model of spiritual quotient (sq) based on the six petals of a lotus and its centre, corresponding to the seven chakras described by the hinduism's kundalini yoga, as an aid to the process of individuation. in the mid-1990s, daniel goleman popularised the "emotional quotient" (eq) - a degree of emotional intelligence, awareness of one's own and other people's feelings such as empathy, compassion, motivation, and the ability to respond to pain or pleasure appropriately. his hypothesis was that for an effective use of iq, eq is a necessity - "it is not iq, but emotional intelligence that matters". danah zohar extended the concept to conclude that the spiritual intelligence is the basic foundation for an effective eq and iq. yoga and meditation can contribute to developing a balanced personality, enhancing one's emotional intelligence and managing stress. yoga refers to the union with the "all pervading power" as well as to an attainment of inner harmony between mind, body, emotions and the spirit, and the outer balance between social, material, career and family related aspects in an individual. meditation is a process of attaining "thoughtless awareness" and not the often mistaken notion of a mental process of developing "concentration". according to the upanishads , meditation is the route to the highest knowledge (spiritual knowledge) when self-realisation, which is integration of inner self or spirit into the cosmic spirit, occurs. if stress is to be managed, our intelligence is to be leveraged and additional personality traits are to be developed, one needs a practical system that allows you to achieve all these without changing your living style - it is not feasible for everyone to lead a stress-free life or search for self-knowledge in the himalayas. sahaja yoga founded by mataji sri nirmala devi is one such system that lets you have the first encounter with the reality (self-realisation) in a simple practical, consistent manner, without requiring any change in one's style of living.

CURES PAIN

Sometime back I found a good article in Times of India on and Pain, which is a good article to read.

Have you ever had the embarrassment of a pain that moved around in your body?
One moment it was constricting your heart, the next burping and belching from the mouth or out the anus as rectal gas, finally settling down to a nagging ache in the head, lower back, or the hip?

If you have, then this information is vital for you! Here is the answer that you have sought...

Much pain is caused by chemical reactions in the body producing gases that shift around and cause what appears to be many types of pain and different diseases. The patient isn’t sick, he’s toxic and the gases must be released in order to gain a cure.

Yoga has a specific answer to the problem in the Pavana Mukta Asanas and Kriyas. P avana, which is the Sanskrit term for all types of body gases, including rectal gases while Mukta means ‘to free’ these gases.

What Is Pain?
Pain can arise from a number of sources of the body, from emotions and from faulty thinking. Injury can cause real pain. Tension may cause refractory pain. Anxiety and other neurotic thoughts can produce psycho-somatic pain. Pain may also be felt in certain hysterical states.

Pain may arise from hunger, overeating, eating the wrong foods, or, from diseased conditions that are interfering with the chemical changes of the body in the process of metabolism.

Specifically, pain is an unpleasant sensation or feeling associated with or resulting from some injury, overstrain, tension, derangement or obstruction of physical powers, like movement of a joint or muscle group, or restriction of the normal activity of an organ.

Distressing or conflicting emotions are often the cause of, or accompany, physical pain. Pain is a most general term. More descriptive terms are; ache, throes, pang, twinge, stitch, cramp, jab and throb. An ache is a long lasting pain usually dull rather than stabbing or sharp, and usually associated with a particular body part such as a stomach, head or tooth.

Throes are violent, usually convulsive and relieve pain without loss of tactile senses, but do not deal with the cause of the problem only giving a temporary relief from the crisis of the pain. Yoga does not offer pain killers, but rather a method to get at the relief of conditions creating or sustaining the pain.
Breath Cycle >>

Breath Cycle For All Of The Pavana Mukta Asanas



Each of the variations of Pavana Muktasana are done in the same breath cycle. Two full rounds of breath are used for each single action.

One needs to lie flat on the floor first. On the in-breath, the knee (or knees) is raised and clasped with the hands. The head is raised (or lowered in the sitting postures) after the breath is expelled with a whoosh.

The breath is again taken in with the fullest, deep inspiration possible and the knee pressured to force internal barometric changes releasing and shifting the gas. The leg is returned to the starting position on the next outgoing breath. This final act may be done with another whoosh out of the breath is desired.

The leg should be flung out rigidly, then returned to the floor. This rapid action often relieves sharp, painful conditions that may not be relieved by the more passive form. The breath cycle can be like in Savitri Pranayama where the count is 8 by 4. Eight beats for inspiration and expiration. Four counts for the held-in and held out breath (8-4-8-4).

In this busy world everybody is going to feel and strain. Even housewifes will feel tension and stress. Even a smallest worry is a cause for tension. For example cathing a local bus or local train or cab for office goers and completed household tasks by the houswives will give some worry and strain on your mind. Thse stresses and strains will give you tension and they may lead to number of deceases such as high blood pressure or low blood pressure and even diabetics. You will also get some kind of tension or stress when things are upset and not being done according to your expectations.

IF MIND IS COOL AND CALM, YOU CAN PERFORM MANY THINGS EFFECTIVELY AND LEAD A HEALTHY AND HAPPY LIFE.

Hence for leading happy and healthy life do
1) An half an hour walk early in the morning and evening. One hour for diabetic patients.

3) Take breakfast daily. This is a must for office goers and diabetic and heart patients.
4) Try to go office or school in time. If leave your home early, then you can catch local bus or train leisurely and walk into office without hurry. You feel great when you sit in your chair in time and you will not feel any guilt that boss may say something.
5)During lunch break, after having lunch have some 5 to 10 minutes leisure walk.

8) Avoid gossip people, who gossip something else, and sometimes you may end up in bad taste.
Because such people have no work and during their gossip they complaint about others or mock at others, which sometimes may hurt you.
9) Every weekend go out with your entire family, if possible. Or go for atleast in a month.
10)Have a nice vaccation at a place which is loved by entire family.
