Natural Ways to Quit Smoking-This Cancer Day Take Your First Step Towards Kicking The Butt
Cancer Day is observed on 4th February. Readers will remember the remarks of MARK TWAIN when the cigar-smoking habit badgered him. Often he tried to quit. He realized the harm and the necessity of quitting when he humorously said something like this - "Quit smoking. Why anybody can do that. I quit a thousand times." One wonders if the same recurrence of desire which caused Mark Twain to quit thousand times, only to return to the habit is a part of all the ‘so-called' cures that have been offered to destroy the habit. Here is a system that works since which is physiologically based. Breathing has always been involved in the smoking habit; whether cigars, cigarettes, pipes or, bidis. All smokers, when they reach for a cigarette feel deprived of air. The deep inspiration drawing the first smoke into the mouth is an effort to get more air, more oxygen, albeit contaminated with nicotine & whatnot. By the act of smoking, the mechanism of respirati

Digital Detox - Why & How To Do It?
With the influx of gadgets, the convergence of technologies, and the overload of information many of us are experiencing an information deluge. The inability to prioritize tasks, lack of attention at work, and reduced level of energy are some of the signs of our obsessive digital consumption which need our attention. This article gives an idea of the digital content consumption pattern and highlights why it is important to exercise some restraint. It also suggests ways to effective digital detox in city life. Digital Detox Being an early consumer of the emerging technologies, I was exposed to digital routine and its ill-effects much earlier. Experiencing lack of quality sleep, distraction, and energy drain during the day, I realized I needed to take corrective measures. I also realized doing away with the use of IT is not feasible, so the best thing was to look for a planned timeout. It started with disconnecting the internet for a short period, and then I expanded it to accommod
How Mental Disorders are formed
What is a mental disorder? Mental Disorder is a disease at the mind level. Like distress and disease, it is also caused by an imbalance in the Emotion-Body-Mind trio. The good news is that any simple, chronic or complex form of mental disorder is easy to reverse. Based on the book - 'Meditation the cure', where the complete science and techniques are detailed out for any patient (care giver) to start reversing disorders at home, we have been helping patients with all kind of disorders. Here are facts and science which trigger mental disorder in a person: - When an event(s) of your life has bigger impact than your faith in life, it triggers disappointment. Disappointment leads to hopelessness. Hopelessness triggers negative emotions within, which the mind tries to control and keep inside. State of hopelessness kills curiosity, which is disconnection with mystery; leading a person to feel unattended and unsupported. At energy level, this causes massive di
Parent-Child Relationship
Today, the skillful use of praise and criticism to smooth parent-child relationships and increase harmony in the home seems more important than ever. Parents need not waste energy on crisis and confrontation that might have been avoided with more adept handling. Haim Ginott, author of "Between Parent and Child" and "Between Parents and teenagers", defines the goal of all criticism as the solution of a particular problem. Criticism that doesn't accomplish this goal has failed as a tool in family management and should be improved. In his book, Dr. Ginott insists that the following three rules are important when we criticize: Don't attack personally attributes Don't criticise character traits Deal with the situation at hand A friend whose son had a mishap with a ballpoint pen followed these rules with good results. Somehow, black permanent ink showed up one day, first on his shirt and jeans, then on the living room sofa. Such apparent c
Part 1 - The Art of Surrendering
How many times have you made plans, predictions or tried to control situations, but life took its own course? Are you one of those people who think that there is a written destiny cast in stone? Are you always anxious that something bad is going to happen and it actually happens? Do you have trouble trusting anyone? If this vibes with you, this series of articles on the art of surrendering is for you. “Ye yathā mām prapadyante tāms tathaiva bhajāmy aham mama vartmānuvartante manusyāh pārtha sarvaśah." As quoted in Bhagavad-Gita Ch4, V7 which means "In whatever (manner) they approach Me, in the same manner, I reward them. Oh Partha, human beings follow My path in every way.” What is surrender? Story 1: Draupadi Vastrapaharan We all know the story of how Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas gets disrobed in front of the entire court of Dhritarashtra. The Pandavas lost their wife as a wager in a game of dice. Duryodhana orders his brother Du
Memory Loss or Dementia
Unless there is physical damage or fault in our brain, there is nothing which we ever forget to remember. Human life is designed in such a way that it records every experience and stores it within. It is the size of our consciousness, which decides how much we can keep in our awareness while doing our daily routine. We are trained since childhood to be useful and productive; our consciousness is, thus, kept constrained or limited only to the issues which are important to earn a living and be a provider for the family and economy. Any other aspect of our life is kept buried inside. Take a case: I conducted 2 hours of lectures on senior citizens. I had no clue about their illnesses. Almost everyone was below 70 and it came as a surprise that almost 30% of them reported memory loss during an interaction. Most of them retired from a senior post as engineers and were well to do. In a rat race, we do not pay attention to holistic aspects of life and identify ourselves only wi

Healthy Party Hacks - Balance Festivities & Health
Often people ask me how to manage a healthy lifestyle that's harmonious with nature and social life. Just because one is health conscious does not mean he surrenders to a hermit's lifestyle. Where there are problems, solutions show up if we stick to our principles and keep an open mind to recognise it. In the past, partying, celebrations, big gatherings were fewer than today. But the trend seems to be increasing and so is the decline in the health of people. The rate of consumption of animal foods has skyrocketed. The more widespread the food varieties at a social gathering, the more satisfied is the ego. Our ancestors lived relatively healthy lives even without a lot of raw food-reason being that they stuck to simple uncontaminated foods, disciplined consumption, regular fasting, mental poise, working hard under the Sun and led a stress-free lifestyle. Today most of the birthdays are celebrated in fast food joints, festivals are lavish, marriages are too loud, with plen
