The effects and results of Yoga are so profound and almost incredible that it is fast becoming a ‘must’ for healthy living. It is there for ages but recent scientific research has reconfirmed its beneficial effects on health, psychological state and even on improving the entire quality of life. Therefore it is not surprising that in today’s stressful life, people are making Yoga a part of life to keep healthy both physically and mentally. 

What is Yoga

The word Yoga has different meaning for different people. For some it is a type of exercise to keep healthy. For others it is a way to develop spirituality or mental peace. Yoga gives both but it is much more than these. Yoga refers to Yog derived from Yuj which in Sanskrit means ‘to unite’. Yoga or Yog Sadhna is the holistic unification of Body Mind and Soul with internal and external harmony. It is a systematic process to bring about transformation of physical fitness, mental calmness & function and spiritual awakening to enable one to live in good health of body & mind and to pursue higher purpose of living. By breaking physical barriers (of sickness & poor health) and mental barriers (of mental weakness & distress) it opens up new horizons of self awareness, self control & self growth. In short it is the way of good living. 

History

Yoga was originated in India about 5000 years ago. The ancient scriptures in India are replete with text on Yoga. Vedas, Upanishad contains yogic teachings which give the background philosophy of Yoga with explanation of atman (self), karma (deeds), dharma (duty) and brahma (the ultimate reality). It tells that higher purpose of living is to perform duty and transcend self to ultimate reality. . It is not possible for someone to live in happiness and progress if one is sick. Yoga is the stepwise process of doing this and helps to achieve required mental & physical health and harmony for the purpose of higher living 

Schools of Yoga

There are various paths (types) of Yoga. The goal is same but these different paths have different philosophy and methodology. Some of them are – (1) Bhakti Yoga – The Yoga of devotion (2) Jnana Yoga – The Yoga of knowledge (3) Karma Yoga – The Yoga of rightful deeds (4) Kundalini Yoga – The Yoga of awakening dormant energy or kundalini. (5) Tantra Yoga – Yoga of wholeness (6) Sahaja Yoga – Yoga of being spontaneous (7) Hatha Yoga – Yoga of Energy balance and  (8) Raja Yoga – The Royal Yoga also called Classical Yoga, the Yoga of self awareness & self realization. Of these Raja Yoga is the one which is most popular and being studied as a mean to attain good health of body and mind. Its most popular text is given by sage Patanjali in Yog Sutra (aphorism). Patanjali Yog Sutra focuses on means and stages of achieving ultimate liberation through Samadhi (ultimate unification & consciousness) through Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga means eight limbs, Ashtanga Yoga gives eight progressive steps of Yog Sadhna. Every step is thoughtfully developed to improve one’s present state and prepare for next stage.

Yoga for weight management

Overweight and obesity have become one of the major health concerns today. It could be because of poor lifestyle, overeating, thyroid dysfunction, genetic condition or even virus infection as indicated in one recent study. Cause may be any but the damage it causes is too big to ignore. Apart from psychological and social problems, it makes one prone to many life threatening diseases like hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease etc. One way of losing weight is diet control and exercise. These are helpful and good for health but most of the times are not sufficient and some people find them very tedious. Yoga offers an effective solution to this. It improves body metabolism, balances hormonal system, removes water retention and keeps the skin healthy as one loses weight. One looks younger with yogic weight management. As Yoga becomes part of life, there is no slipping back and one continues in good shape and health. Yoga is equally good for underweight conditions and can bring body to good shape naturally. 

Precautions

• Yoga must be done under supervision of a trained therapist. There is a trend now a day to get into Yoga after reading books or watching TV. This can harm instead of helping. Yoga requires assessment of the health so that proper precautions may be taken. Certain conditions contraindicate some asana and pranayama. Secondly if Yoga is not done in right manner, it will harm the health in place of helping.
• Yoga must be done in a stepwise, regular manner. There should be no hurry. Asana may take 4 – 6 months to perform fully. Hurry will only injure the body tissue and organs.
• Yoga must be done with a calm mind. There should be no distraction. One must get fully involved to get good benefit. Do not mistake Yoga for any ordinary exercise.
• Yoga must be done empty stomach. Early morning is the best time to do Yoga. Otherwise it can be done in the evening and there must be a gap of at least .2 hours after a meal.
• Select a calm, clean place for Yoga. It must be done on floor where one can use a mat. Wear light & loose / stretchable clothing.
• Do it gently, take breath through nose except when indicated.
• Avoid Yoga during acute illness.
• Adopting positive lifestyle with light & nutritious diet helps in getting greater benefit from Yoga.

When I experience sometimes, I go within my brain, discover a plenty of area, and discuss to myself. I often discover comedy whether it is interesting, absurd black, entertaining, or what have you. Anything that results in me have fun often eliminates the worry my personality believes when I am furious. Growing at the supply that designed us furious is not the reply.

This only results in a more challenging issue. Therefore, if you have a issue with anger you might want to go to anger management where therapy is available. Frustration management allows a individual to get in contact with his or her brain. It allows them to see that anger is the actual of feelings that are out of management. It also allows the individual to see that anger can be handled if you master behaviour techniques to change your mind-set.

If you have issues with anger, you might have an actual scenario, such as psychological disease, liquor or medication. Do you beverage heavily? If so this impacts your shape, brain, and will develop it challenging to deal with your anger when you are confronted or experience as though someone let you down. If you are taking medication, you may want to consider that medication can cause excellent damage to both your personality and increase your feelings, generating it simpler for you to increase when you are anger. Drugs never help, they only cause more damage.

Indicators are a part of psychological disease and anger is one of the many symptoms that psychological disease features.

The symptoms may contain failure to understand, which often causes anger to become since the individual has problems knowing the individual discussing with them. Another indication in psychological disease that causes anger is comments outside the head. If you are experiencing those unfavorable comments informing you that someone is going to eliminate you, or training you to eliminate someone you love it can generate a individual mad. Hallucination is another indication in psychological disease that can develop a individual deranged or furious.

When you are seeing things that do not are available, yet appear real, it results in you furious within when the symptoms decrease and you discover that you are out in eventually left area. Delusions can also technique the feelings and develop us experience out of management. When a individual does not have management of his or her being, it often irritates the individual, generating them furious.

Anger is also designed when individual’s habits are legal, or possibly legal concentrated. If you have a uncontrollable relaxing practice then it often degrades your being and results in you furious. You might strike up at someone for simple thoughts, but the supply that designed you furious is no one but your self.

Likewise, if you are criminal it is also degrading and will only dehumanize and rob you of the capability to management your feelings.

A nightmare is a warning from the subconscious mind. It might signal a medical condition that needs to be treated, but it may also mean that you are ready to release pent-up negative emotions, negative scripting or trauma. Dream expert Patricia Garfield, author of Creative Dreaming, The Universal Dream Key and other books, tells us that most dreams are negative. I like what Robert Van de Castle says in Our Dreaming Mind:

Many people are surprised to learn that the majority of dreams are unpleasant. Since most people don’t share dreams with others on a regular basis, they tend to assume that their own dreams are more negative, troubling, bizarre and unusual than those experienced by others. Knowing that other people often have disturbing dreams may be a source of relief to those who worry that their dreams may indicate some psychological disturbance or abnormality. But other individuals may use this information as an excuse to distance themselves from their dreams. ‘I have enough unpleasantness in my everyday waking life. Why would I want to expose myself to further unpleasant events and emotions in dreams?’ they may say.

I would respond that by paying attention to the troubling events in our dreams, we improve our long-range chances of reducing stress and anxiety in our waking life. Dreams tell us things we need to know to function more effectively when we’re not dreaming. They inform us about conditions which require remedial action and give us hints as to which plans might be most successful.

I want to tell you a story about a client of mine who stopped recurring nightmares after one hypnosis session – essentially taking charge of a condition that required remedial action, and how together we created a plan that led to a surprising and dynamic shift. Marion is an elderly woman who lives in an assisted care facility because she has MS. One of her caregivers called me to say she’d been waking up at night frightened by recurring dreams about an angel of death. Sometimes she cried out, alarming staff members. They tried to console her, but the nightmares continued.
Marion was sitting in her wheelchair when I arrived. I pulled up a chair beside her, I explained how hypnosis works, prepared her for trance and began. Under hypnosis she described a woman who represented Death. She came down from the sky and looked like an angel in a dark robe. Recalling the figure, Marion became sad and teary eyed. “I’m not ready to die,” she said in a faint voice. “Good,” I responded. “Imagine, now, that you tell her that.” Resistance surfaced. “But I grew up believing that when Death comes to tell me it’s time, I must go.”

“If you still have something you want to do here on earth, I wonder if you can ask for more time. If you think that’s possible, please nod your head.” She nodded. Mistaken literalism is the biggest dream interpretation error, says Jeremy Taylor, author of Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill and The Living Labyrinth. Marion’s strict religious upbringing led her to believe the dream figure announced her impending death. She took it literally, as most people would have done. But dream experts tell us that death symbols may indicate our readiness for a transformation – a letting go of an aspect of our personality that no longer serves us.

Marion and I prepared for a visualization in which she would meet the woman in the dark robe and ask for more time. She would explain why she wanted to continue living. I asked Marion to verbalize her reasons. We converted her initial plea of “I’m not ready to die” into statements beginning “I want to live because…” When she was ready, I took her deeper into trance and we began the visualization. Marion was motivated and cooperative. The figure from her dreams agreed to her request. We expressed appreciation for the agreement, I deepened the relaxation again and gave her the post-hypnotic suggestion that before our next session she would have a pleasant dream and she would remember it so she could share it with me.

That was all it took. The nightmares stopped. When I went to see Marion two weeks later, she looked cheerful. “The angel in the dark robe has not come back – and I had a good dream.” I’m going to share it with you here because it shows the power of the mind to make a course correction. I think important dreams deserve to have titles, so I asked her to title it. “The River,” she said. In her dream, Marion can walk. At four in the morning she opens the door and walks to a river. “I knew which path would take me there.” While walking on the path, she feels she is going to accomplish something and that it will be enjoyable. Though she lives in Seattle, the river is in Eastern Washington. She knows this because of the vast, open landscape and the rock formations. She’s wrapped in a blanket of many colors that reminds her of Joseph’s coat and Indian blankets.

She reaches the edge of a cliff and gazes at the river below, transfixed by its movement, “It’s not rushing, just flowing.” Across the river wild flowers and bushes are blooming in a rockery. I ask her if the scene reminds her of anything. She says, “It makes me think of the Mormon Tabernacle choir singing ‘How Beautiful Upon the Mountain’ because this is like a painting, entirely different than a real landscape. It is so beautiful that I’m awestruck.”
At this point in the dream Marion worries that someone might realize she’s missing, so she walks out to a road. A car stops. Inside are two women who say they’ve been looking for her, so she gets in. When they arrive home, a man is waiting at the door for her. She feels safe and supported.

After hearing her dream, I asked Marion if she would like to do a guided visualization to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. She agreed and we imagined her going to Salt Lake City, entering the Temple and sitting down as the organ begins. When the visualization was clear in her mind, I asked her to describe it. “The organ is so powerful, my body is vibrating. The choir has such magic that anyone who heard it would be uplifted and changed by it.” I suggested that now they would sing How Beautiful Upon the Mountain and asked if she would sing along. Still in the trance state, she began singing. She looked blissful. I gave her the post-hypnotic suggestion that she would sing for someone else after our session.

Days later, I learned from Marion’s caregiver that she not only sang for the staff and residents, she sang for her doctor during an appointment she had later that day. Bubbling with enthusiasm, she shared her joy with others.
Jeremy Taylor says that all dreams come in the service of health and wholeness and that no dream comes to tell us what we already know. Dreams have multiple meanings and when we have a Big Dream, as Marion did, sharing it with someone you trust can have an expansive impact. Robert Moss, another well-known dream expert says that to harness the power of your dreams you need only two things: the ability to recall and the willingness to be open-minded about what your dreams are telling us.

When you have a bad dream, think about these words from Dr. John Kappas, founder of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, “Venting dreams are the most important to dream analysis since they represent events, traumas, doubts and fears that you are removing from your past and your present. They reflect what you no longer need to hold on to. They must always be recognized and accepted as a venting process, and not misinterpreted as having precognitive value. The purpose of venting is removal.”

The next time you have a bad dream, remind yourself that you are venting. If you dream about someone you knew in elementary school or high school, you are releasing something from that period of your life – so you can feel good about that. Instead of getting up and stewing about it, you can say, “Whew. Glad I vented that!” It’s been 18 months since Marion vented her death nightmares.

Every time you consciously acknowledge material that emerges from your subconscious in dreams, you promote greater communication between your subconscious and conscious minds. Let’s reflect on the big picture: the evolution of consciousness. “As a species, consciousness is our primary choice for evolution,” says Jeremy Taylor. “The evolution of consciousness is the ONLY reliable avenue of evolution.” When a nightmare offers us an invitation for transformation on a conscious level, let’s say yes..

Achieving this state of a calm using breathing and visualization techniques, the Hypnotist puts new ideas across to the patient to discourage smoking. They could be ideas about the benefits of quitting. Or about the health hazards of not quitting. But the outcome is that the old patterns of thinking are disrupted with newer, better suggestions.

The new ideas planted in the patient’s subconscious have a double benefit. They help the person to relax and at the same time give the courage of conviction to resist the temptation of smoking.
Some patients might need more than just one session to quit for good. But there are reports of many successes! Many people who have wanted to quit, have quit the habit using Hypnosis.
How does Hypnosis work to quit smoking?

There are a few reasons for smoking that work against you when you try to quit smoking the old-fashioned way: there is the physical aspect: you are addicted to nicotine. There are also psychological reasons and this is where Hypnosis can be most effective.

You might have subconsciously conditioned yourself to crave a cigarette because you always smoke in certain situations. You smoke after a meal, when driving a car, drinking a cup of coffee. When you try to quit, any of these situations will remind you subconsciously of smoking and trigger a huge craving for a cigarette.

Hypnosis can create a picture in your mind where you can replace the relaxation and pleasure you derive from smoking with something else, it can help you to derive relaxation from a different trigger and can even put a negative association with cigarettes in your mind. Hypnosis can also break the association of smoking with certain situations and therefore break your conditioned reflex that triggers craving in these situations. Once these two powerful motivations for smoking are gone, you have successfully used hypnosis to stop smoking and quitting for good will be a goal within your reach.

The Cures

There are different homeopathy sciatica cures depending on the severity and nature of the pain. One of the most effective and recommended homeopathy sciatica cures that are prescribed is the use of colocynth. Used with a combination of other remedies it is thought to be a very effective cure for sciatica.

If you experience pain at intervals during the night that is worsened by cold weather then you should think about using Arsecium. Combine treatment with keeping the body warm and you should find relief from the pain. It is especially important to keep warm, though using warmth alone will only give you temporary relief.

If your sciatica is not severe then you may want to consider using Pulsatilla as a homeopathy sciatica cure. If the pain is along your spinal cord and you feel shooting pains down to your feet then you will need a different remedy. Nux Vomica is a good remedy if your pains are along your spinal cord.

Determining the Type of Pain

Talk to your homeopathic practitioner about what homeopathy sciatica cures will work for you best. You need to discuss in detail the type of pain you feel and where exactly you feel it. It would also be helpful to discuss the time that you feel the pain, such as at night or when the weather is damp. All these things will help your homeopath to determine what to prescribe you to relieve the pain.

Some of the things that are used in homeopathy to treat sciatica may seem strange at first but they do work. If you have found no relief with mainstream medicine then you should try these homeopathy sciatica cures to help you. They are natural and rely on holistically healing your body and helping the nervous system.

Over the years it has grown in popularity in the UK and with this has come greater attack and negative press. It is hard to understand why, when it has such a wonderful track record, people go to homeopaths because of referrals, not because of big advertising and marketing campaigns. Just because we do not fully understand something we should not be so quick to judge it. It was not so long ago we all believed the world was flat. Is it that hard to believe in this day and age that there is more to life than just the Newtonian model of molecules and physical matter? Energy drives everything in nature – molecules are held together by it; the universe is full of it; homeopathy works with it.
Homeopathy is based on three fundamental principles:

Like cures like

The first principle of ‘like cures like’ can be looked at in several ways. One way is to assume that the body knows what it is doing, nature knows how to survive and will do its best to ensure the survival of the organism. Symptoms are the body’s way of taking action to overcome illness. Some ‘thing’ has disturbed the body, it could be a virus, or continued stress levels at work, or being caught out in cold rain. The body produces symptoms; this is its defence against illness; nature’s way of shaking the illness off. This healing response is automatic in living organisms; we term it the vital response. The similar medicine acts as a stimulus to the natural vital response, giving it the information it needs to complete its healing work – ‘like cures like’.

A crude example may help to explain this. If your hand is cold and you want to warm it up you can either plunge it in hot water (opposite) or into icy water (similar). By making the hand colder you stimulate the internal vital response to naturally heat the hand.

Single remedy

No matter how many symptoms are experienced, only one remedy is taken, and that remedy is aimed at all of the symptoms. For example there is no such thing as a standard homeopathic flu remedy. The remedy you take has to match your particular flu – where it occurs, what brings it on, what type of pain it is, what aggravates it, what makes it feel better, your state of mind and other symptoms you experience. Everyone is unique; everyone experiences disease differently. Homeopathy asks ‘why do you have the flu, how is it individualised in you and what is it an expression of’ and then looks to treat this, just stopping flu symptoms with orthodox medicine is like putting tape over a warning light without getting to the source of the problem.

The minimum dose

Only enough is administered to initiate the healing process, which then carries on, driven by its own internal healing mission. Homeopathic medicines given in minimum doses stimulate the body’s vital response and do not produce the gross side effects that are so often the pit-fall of conventional treatment.
Homeopathy works on all levels – physical, mental and emotional. It treats all the issues as one, it addresses the cause, not the symptoms. Homeopathy does not have treatments for diseases, it has remedies for people with diseases. It takes into account the whole person and their situation.
Prescribing the right homeopathic remedy takes a little more time and patience than conventional medicine. It often is a highly rewarding process – healing in itself. Just taking the time to talk about what is troubling you, and to hear yourself say it, shifts things and being truly listened to is often a rare occurrence in our busy lives.

Why is homeopathy so popular?

• Homeopathic treatment works with your body’s own healing powers to bring about health and well being.
• You are treated as an individual, not as a collection of disease labels.
• Homeopathy treats all your symptoms at all levels of your being – spiritual, emotional, mental and physical and finds the ‘like cures like’ match for them.
• Homeopathically prepared remedies, providing the minimum dose, are gentle, subtle and powerful. They are non-addictive, and not tested on animals.

Studying the control group (who received standard care) as well as the trial group, researchers made some remarkable observations. Though the first week of the research yielded no significant difference between the two groups; the ensuing week showed that weight gain of infants was substantially higher in the trial group. These results are promising as acupressure may be an effective and natural health treatment, which neonatal nurses can administer (to premature infants) to improve health and to stimulate growth.

What is acupressure?

Derived from acupuncture, acupressure is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that stimulates pressure points along the meridians of the body. As a noninvasive, natural health care treatment, acupressure is believed to remove blockages from Chi (life force/energy), thus restoring balance to the body and promoting self-healing capabilities.

Acupressure is both an energy medicine and a form of massage therapy, and treatment is typically pain free. In addition, needles are not necessary in this gentle but firm touch therapy (as with acupuncture).

Acupressure Health FAQs

In addition to helping promote health and wellness in premature infants, acupressure is known to help relieve pain, restore balance to the body, reduce stress, improve immune system functioning, enhance blood circulation, and promote overall wellbeing in children and adults.

Some of the many health conditions that acupressure can be helpful in treating include nausea (especially in cancer patients), fibromyalgia, back pain, and arthritis, among others.

Who can Practice Acupressure?

Though there are community courses that offer basic acupressure techniques for self healing, there are a growing number of massage therapy schools and Oriental medicine colleges that provide acupressure certification programs. Whether offered as an advanced study or as an individual training program, acupressure instruction generally entails the history and application of the healing art, as well as TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) philosophies. Other related studies include Five Element theories, meridian therapy, anatomy, physiology, and pathology.

Professional certification in acupressure can be achieved on a National level through the ABT (Asian Bodywork Therapy) exam, which is given through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). However, examine your prospective course of study carefully to make certain that it meets all educational and State training requirements (for National certification level).

Because massage therapy is growing in demand, diverse and specialized training like acupressure is essential to holistic health and conventional health practitioners. As mentioned in the clinical trial above, nurses who have acquired training in infant acupressure may well gain an advantage in employment in neonatal units. Other conventional medicine practitioners like veterinarians and vet technicians are turning to acupressure training to better serve their equine and canine patients. Massage therapists who have achieved acupressure certification are better equipped to offer more in-depth bodywork treatments to clients; and can earn a substantially higher income by adding these educational credentials.

Article source: In a recent double-blind clinical trial* (at the School of Nursing at the China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan), premature infants received meridian massage (acupressure) three times per day for 15-minute sessions over a course of 10 days. During the acupressure sessions, (prior to feedings) the study group (of premature infants) had their abdomens rubbed, received stomach meridian massage and other acupressure kneading applications.

Studying the control group (who received standard care) as well as the trial group, researchers made some remarkable observations.

Simply apply acupressure to the appropriate pressure points, using either one of your fingers, or your palm. Apply a steady pressure to the point for only five seconds, to draw warm energy to that area. Repeat this healing acupressure three to five times per session.

There are many pressure points within the body that, as per Eastern medicine adherents, can better the overall wellness of the body when pressure is applied. Here are a list of the healing acupressure points, that when stimulated, may prevent colds and the flu virus with the body:

Poong-mun: This is said in Eastern medicine to be the most vulnerable area with respect to gathering cold energy. This point is located approximately two fingers width from the thoracic vertebrae, on either side.

Joong-bu: Just outside the upper breastbone area, there are two hollowed areas that lie directly below the protrusions of an individual’s collarbone. Gently tapping this area, or pressing your thumb directly into it, in three second intervals, warms this area. Also, tapping directly over this area with a cupped hand, is a common healing acupressure practice.

Oon-mun: On either side of each shoulder there is a point directly below the collarbone. Gently tap or push into this point with the pad of your thumb or finger for a few seconds. Repeat three to five times in this area per session.

Dae-chu: When feeling directly below the seventh vertebrae, bend neck and head forward. There is an indentation wherein the neck and shoulder line meets, below the largest bone. Keeping that point stationary with your finger, return your neck and head back to an upright position. Tap over this healing acupressure point with a hand that is cupped.

It is important to remember that when practicing healing acupuncture as a method of holistic health in Eastern medicine, not to ever tap or press on: skin infections, scars, open wounds, varicose veins, broken bones etc. These methods are only to be used on healthy portions of the body, and should not cause intense pain when practicing.

These Eastern medicine methods can be practiced at any point of the day, wherever you are. Healing acupressure allows for the body to experience self-control as well as enhanced health.

2. Priorities change – There was something that brought you together but that no longer is your need or priority. Or you have developed some other priority. His need was sex, he got that. In earlier days you loved to spend time together but now rising high in your profession excites you more. What is your priority?

A selfish person may give costly gifts but will not be able to feel the emotional need of other person.

To love one needs to think beyond I.

But the state of such selfish person is so miserable. He or she is deprived of the real happiness, the ability to give and receive love. Such selfish people gather possessions even people around them to cover up their deficiency. But they do not have happiness, the bliss that comes from love. Those who stays with them are there only for their own selfish interest. The joy of relationship can never be felt by selfish.

Such people live with a feeling of loneliness even if they are surrounded by others. The frustration comes to surface in moments where there is real need of true love. But sometimes it gets too late.

True love comes from giving true love. If you want it, give it.

Healthy relationships are good for mental health & happiness. We want happiness and share this happiness with our loved ones. Then why do people feel so lonely today? Why do we get hurt or feel uncared by others? Why we are getting more and more isolated even after having many people around both in real and virtual life?

Situation is painful but fortunately easy to understand and rectify. To understand one must understand the spectrum of relationships, its interdependence and interactions. Relationships go sour because we let them go sour. Relationships can be kept healthy by proper management. There are many factors which play crucial role in keeping relationships healthy. These are :

Priority : One must be clear about priorities in relationships giving due space, time and involvement to each relationship. Be sure about who is important and how much. But one must make sure that this should not be defined by selfishness. Priority should be in fair proportion done with honesty and giving due importance to sense of responsibility.

Roles : One must clarify the role one is required to be play in relationship. Whatever your role is be it parent, sibling, friend, boss or any other. See honestly, are you playing your role with sincerity or not? There is no harm in making a realistic self assessment and / or get feedback. Carefully watch complaints or situations which will give you fairly correct idea how you are doing. But be careful to be realistic as people’s expectations will run high. So must know how to have balance in life. This is possible if you can have balance of playing your role nicely on one hand and have the ability to say polite no to undue expectations.

Expectation : One must have realistic expectations for healthy development of relationship. This is true for both expectations from yourself and from others. It is common to see guilt feeling if you try to overdo. In this case either you will have frustration or guilt. You may also feel used by others. Make fair assessment of own and others expectations and have a balance in life keeping in view your other priorities of life.

Space : one must create sufficient self space and respect others space. Just like expectations, space must also be balanced. You must have your own space. Learn ways to maintain your space without getting harsh with others. Similarly respect others space and honor that if they resist your intrusion even if in your point of view that was ok.

Independence: Interdependence is necessity of relationship but independence is necessary to keep relationships healthy. Just like financial independence, emotional and intellectual independence is necessary in every relationship. This will allow you to resist possessiveness and other negative traits.

Values : Values like honesty and sincerity are crucial for healthy relationship. We wish to have honesty and sincerity from others but we fail to do same from our side. Our selfishness and greed does not allow us to be fair. How often we find excuses for our selfishness and justify it to our self or others. But when it comes to other person we get furious and ready to take revenge be it verbal or in deeds.

Communication : Lack of proper communication is the cause of most relationship problems. All above factors will play role in your relationships and you are required to communicate. But most often we communicate in harsh or sarcastic manner. Our focus is on blames. We must learn how to communicate own point of view and similarly listen patiently other persons point of view. This is art. Learn the art of communication.

Transformation : No relationship is static. They change with time. But unfortunately we do not understand the necessity of such transformation. Siblings or children share one kind of relationship before their marriage and different after. Some personality traits and temperament are likely to change. This does not mean that there is less affection after their marriage or they have changed. If one understands the transformation process then it would be easily to relate under new circumstances.

Conflict resolution : Human beings think and act differently. But it is not necessary to allow these different ways to become conflicts. And even if they occur do not allow conflicts to linger on. Discuss and solve at earliest opportunity. One most important thing is to handle each other gently. Attack on the person is not the strategy. One should instead adopt solution oriented strategy.

Why even after years of meditation and other practices, there is no growth?

Why people are not ‘happy’ inspite of spirituality?

There is no spiritual growth. People only gather so called spiritual words but nothing happens. All that happens is spiritual arrogance. You start feeling spiritually grown but where is the ‘growth’.

The answer is simple. No one can ‘teach’ spirituality.

Intellectual growth is through ‘knowledge’.  You can gain spiritual knowledge by reading or listening.

Emotional growth is through ‘feeling’.  You can gain spiritual feeling by meditation.

And…

Spiritual growth is through ‘realization’.  Spirituality is and can only be realized. It comes from within.

Let it happen, naturally and spontaneously.

Bhagwan :

Bhakt : Prabhu, I was saying….

Bhagwan : Hmm I know.

Bhakt : So prabhu who is better. Conservative people say that modern people have forgotten values and are prone to evils and crimes. And modern people say that conservative people are non progressive and their mindset is the root cause of evils and crimes.

Bhagwan : Hmm I know.

Bhakt : Then prabhu who is better and who is the cause of problem.

Bhagwan : You mean to say modern people do not have values and conservative people are not progressive.

Bhakt : No prabhu I do not mean that but I came to know about many such comments and TV channels are having heated debates about this.

Bhagwan : Human society is complex and will always have people of different shades of lifestyles, opinions and mindsets. Humans should learn to accommodate. People can have different lifestyles, wear different types of clothes, have different hairstyles, speak different languages, go to religious places or discos, chant mantras or dance on pop music. This is all individual choice. This does not make a good or bad human being. Nor does it make forward or backward, modern or primitive, progressive or regressive. Humans are humans. One who respect others, has logical thinking & learning ability, has honesty & integrity and live a life that is good for self and society is real human being irrespective of being man or woman, living in big city or village, has so called modern education or no education. These are human qualities and those who do not have these are real culprits of evils and crimes. All this debate of rooted in culture or uprooted from culture is a waste of precious time.

Bhakt : But prabhu…..

Bhagwan : Modern too have the value system and conservative too are progressing. Together they make the nation. They all have brains and must use them in eliminating evils & crimes from the society. And any comment that goes against humanity must be completely discarded.

Bhakt : Prabhu some men are saying that certain crimes like rape occur because of women’s faults.

Bhagwan : This crime of blaming women for rape is even bigger than rape. Strange but such thoughts mostly come from those who talk about value system. This is destructive of society. That is why I told you value system has nothing to do with being conservative or modern. If you have value system you will honor women in discos and if you do not have value system you will assault them in religious places.

Bhakt : Got it prabhu. Naaraayan Naaraayan !!!
