how to change unhealthy habits?

The secret to personal change is to stop fighting yourself.

Most people want to change something about themselves. We have an optimistic tradition about ‘getting somewhere’ and’ reaching higher’, which incorporates getting somewhere with the self. Change and optimism go together. It seems , in an economic downturn situation, that optimism is lagging but there’s still a strong motivation to succeed, which means overcoming of obstacles. Many, if not most of the obstacles that people face in there rise rise to success, are personal-Which is why almost everyone wants to change the habit, a personality trait, a chronic state of anxiety, and so on.
The problem with personal change is that if you attack your old habits directly, the task is quite difficult. The mind that desire change confronts the mind that is bound by old conditioning. The result is inner conflict, with one side pushing and the other side is resisting. Countless people feel trapped inside this war, whether their goal is to stop overeating , managing their anger, become more assertive, or stop being fearful-The desire to change is not enough, and keeping up the motivation of change soon wear out.
Explore your mind.

The secret to personal changes to stop fighting against yourself. In the inner war was winnable, you do have won it long ago. I am not advising you to give up. Giving up takes you out of the combat zone , but that’s not enough to make positive change. Your brain remains trained to follow the pathways set down by habit and conditioning. This is where the secret of personal change comes in. Change occurs by giving the brain new pathways. Without this new pathways your default reaction will remain in place. Brain wiring is not the same as house wiring. Even if you are wired to overeat or to lose your temper quickly, this reaction can be overridden.
The Process has a few steps that need to be repeated anytime you find yourself having a similar, undesirable reaction.

👉1. Notice what you are about to do.
👉2. Pause, close your eyes and wait until the surge of your reaction quietens down.
👉3. Ask yourself if you really need to react this way.
       
What you are doing with these steps is bringing in the higher brain, which is the only part that can decide to change and then carry out the change. The part that keeps you from changing is, emotional and impulsive-In other words, the lower brain. The lower brain has quicker access than the upper brain which is why you jump once you hear a car backfire and only seconds later make the choice that you are not in danger. Survival impulses like hunger, aggression, and fight- or- flight are not stronger than reason; they are just faster and thoughtless.

By pausing and expecting the surge to pass, you give yourself time to try to to the items that the upper brain is expert at: considering, reflecting, weighing options, etc. But here comes the tricky part. If you have given into impulse and habit many times, ignoring the choices available to your higher brain, grooves of habit become the path of least resistance.
In a word, the more often the lower brain is favored, the weaker your decision-making becomes. That’s why over-eaters feel helpless to change their eating habit. They are not hungrier than other people; they have weekend their other choices. So your campaign , whatever quite change you're aiming for, is to require back your power to settle on . You must do this over and over. Only repetition can re-balance your brain, allowing stronger pathways to be built and older grooves to wear out. Besides the three steps given above, the subsequent also are very useful:

👉Write down how you feel.

👉Make a note whenever you create a far better choice.

👉Appreciate your good choices and celebrate the very fact that you simply made them.

These additional steps reinforce higher- brain awareness. They reconnect you to your emotional brain and teach it to see that it does not feel good just too overeat , lose your temper or act aggressive. It feels just as good to make a better choice.

Celebration , which many people live out, enforces the positive emotional side of making better choices. When you put all this steps together, they make change possible, not by fighting against yourself, but by adding the fulfillment of knowing that you are the author of your own biography and may turn the plot.

The right way of living

The right way of living. -Find balance in your life Just by living simply.

I have only three things to say: Simplicity, patience and compassion-and with these three, you can go a long way.

I have only three things to teach: Meditate, exercise the body- mind and Live Simply. With these three, your health will go a long way.

Know your lifestyle 

Balancing your life by living simply is about simple living, a simple daily routine that involves living consciously and in the moment. Consciousness is about awareness and this ‘Simple living’ process help you to raise your awareness of how you are living your life-and teaches you to live in the Magic of life unfolding.

Here are a few steps to help you alone.

👉Mediate -Give yourself time for deep inner nurturing and nourishing.

👉Find your sweet spot- Go to your’ sweet spot’ regularly. Listen to meditative music. The ancient Yogi’s believe that we have a little sac of Amber Nectar, the nectar of the gods, deep within our brains. The way to connect with our sweet spot is through relaxation and music to raise our body-mind vibrations.

👉Right diet-Dietary control is important in living our life with simplicity. We eat food, which contain the most life force energy, and which feed our body-mind emotions and spirits. Traditionally, vegetarianism suits the body-mind of meditation and yoga practitioner-but life teaches us that not everyone can be vegetarian, vegan, or eat a raw food diet.

Understanding a little about the ayurvedic doshas can

also be very illuminating. Learn about your body and the food that is going to bring you to optimum health. Eating little often suits the body-especially when we are attempting to bring balance-It allows consciousness to flow.

Please refer to my earlier post regarding Doshas-

https://yoursdairy.blogspot.com/2020/06/what-are-three-dosas.html

https://yoursdairy.blogspot.com/2020/06/how-to-identify-which-dosas-are-present.html

👉Mindfulness-Be focussed. Be fully aware of your actions through the day, begin at the moment as much as possible. Become familiar with the Seven spiritual laws of yoga-these are beneficial and can give you a daily framework for mindfulness practise.

👉Get inspiration-Try to read uplifting books, watching inspiring videos, listen to beautiful poetry and teaching. The spiritual masters through the ages have always insisted that a dedicated spiritual practitioner attends Satsangs and practises the teaching of Great Masters. This can be an important part of your sadhana, which teaches you humidity.

👉Nourish yourself- Spend some time caring and nurturing yourself. Spare quality time for “Time with yourself”. Ayurvedic self-care rituals are a wonderful way of doing this: For example, make a weekly ritual of self-massage, before relaxation. Investing a little attention, time, money and care in your practice adds emerge immeasurably to the quality of your experience.

👉Daily intention- Focus on a simple and positive goal every day. This will teach you about the power of intention in your life.

👉Express yourself created creatively-Art, music, beauty and writing were all important to ancient Yogi’s because they said that they experienced the thrill of the vibration of the universe through creativity. Universal life force energy is creative energy. Write regularly, if this is your only means of creative expression.

👉Slow down-You can only experience the miracle of life and living, Seeing the magic in life, if you slow down. Learning Pranayama breathing is wonderful for this, as it appreciating your senses. In the yogic meditation, you withdraw your senses to heighten your sensitivity. Life then becomes an experience to be lived and not just something that we have to do.

👉Move- Move your body and mind regularly. Allow the energy to flow through your mind, body and emotions. Make your body-mind a more comfortable place for your soul to dwell in.

Go through these steps slowly, Introducing one step at a time into your routine until your life transforms.

        Practise for many years have proved to teachers of yoga that the value of simplicity, practise, time and dedication, work for us very beneficially to enrich our experience of life. Practise may not be easy, but it’s the only way for some of us. And balancing in our life comes when we know the right way of living.

10 happiness points. Why don’t wish to be happy? Here are some guidelines to make happiness your reality. 

1. Hear your body’s wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing a certain behaviour, ask your body,’ How do you feel about this?’ If your body sends a sign of physical or emotional distress, watch out. If your body sends a sign of comfort and eagerness, proceed. 
2. Live in the present for it's the sole moment
   
   you've got. Keep your attention on what's here and now; search for the fullness in every moment. Accept what involves you totally and completely so that you'll appreciate it, learn from it, then let it go. The present is as it should be. It reflects infinite law of nature that has brought you this exact thought, this exact physical response. This moment is as it is because the universe is as it is. Don’t struggle against the infinite scheme of things; instead, be at one with it. 
3. Take time to be silent, to meditate, to quiet the internal dialogue. In the moment of silence, realise that you are re-connecting your source of pure awareness. Pay attention to your inner life so that you'll be guided by intuition instead of externally imposed interpretations of what's or isn't good for you. 
4. Relinquish your need for external approval. You alone are the judge of your worth, and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks. There is great freedom in this realisation. 
5. When you find yourself reacting with anger or opposition to any person or circumstances, realise that you are only struggling with yourself. Putting up resistance is the response of defences created by old hurts. When you relinquish this anger, you'll be healing yourself and cooperating with the flow of the universe. 
6. Know that the world “out there” reflects your reality “in here”. The people you react to most
   
   strongly, whether with love or hate, are projections of your inner world. What you most hate is what you most deny in yourself. What you most love is what you most wish for in yourself. Use the mirror of relationship to guide your evolution. The goal is total self-knowledge. When you achieve that, what you most want will automatically be there; what you most dislike will disappear. 
7. Shed the burden of judgement- you will feel lighter. Judgement imposes right and wrong on situations that just are. Everything can be understood and forgiven, but when you judge, you cut off understanding and shut down the process of learning to love. In judging others, you reflect your lack of self- acceptance. Remember that each person you forgive adds to your self- love. 
8. Don’t contaminate your body with toxins, either through food, drink, or toxic emotions. Your body is more than his life support system. It is the vehicle that will carry you on the journey of your evolution. The health of each cell directly contributes to your state of well being, because every cell may be a point of awareness within the sector of awareness that's you. 
9. Replace fear- motivated behaviour love- motivated behaviour. Fear is that the product of memory, which dwells within the past. Remembering what hurts us before; we direct our energies toward making certain that an old hurt will not repeat itself. But trying to impose the past on the present will never wipe out the threat of being hurt. That happens only when you discover the safety of your being, which is love. Motivated by the reality inside you, you'll face any threat because your inner strength is invulnerable to fear. 
10. Understand that the physical world is simply a mirror of a deeper intelligence. Intelligence is the invisible organiser of all matter and energy, and since a portion of this intelligence resides in you, you share in the organising power of the Cosmos. Because you're inseparably linked to everything, you can't afford to foul the planet’s air and water. But at a deeper level, you can't afford to live with a toxic mind, because every thought makes an impact on the entire field of intelligence. Living in balance and purity is the highest good for you and Mother Earth.

Laugh out Loud

👉Laugh out Loud👈

Laughter is one of the most repressed things by society, all over the world, in all ages. Society wants you to be serious. Parents want their children to be serious, teachers wants their students to be serious, the boss wants their employees to be serious, the commanders wants their armies to be serious. Seriousness is required of everybody.

Laughter is ‘dangerous’ and ‘rebellious’. When the teacher is teaching you and your friends start laughing, it will be taken as an insult. Your parents are saying something to you and you begin laughing- it'll be taken as an insult.

The Japanese secret to a long and happy life

Seriousness is thought to be honorable, respectable. Naturally, laughter has been repressed such a lot that albeit life all around is hilarious, nobody is laughing! If your laughter is freed from its chain, from its bondage, you will be surprised-at each step there is something hilarious happening.

Life is not serious. Only graveyards are serious, death is serious. Life is love, life is laughter, and life is dance, song. But we'll need to give life a replacement orientation. The past has crippled life very badly; it has made you almost laughter-blind, just like there are people who are color blind. There are 10% of people who are color- blind. It is a big percentage, but they may not be aware that they are  color blind. The constant repression of laughter has made you laughter- blind. Situations are happening everywhere, but you can't see that there's any reason to laugh. If your laughter is free of its bondage, the entire world are going to be filled with laughter. It must be filled with laughter; it'll change almost everything in human life. 

You will not be as miserable as you are. In fact, you are not as miserable as you look- It is misery, plus seriousness that makes you look so miserable. Just do this misery plus laughter, and you'll not look so miserable. 

Just look around at life and try to see the humorous side of things. Is not life funny? Every event that's happening has its own humorous side., you only need a way of humor to experience it. 

Do you know, no religion has accepted the sense of humor as a crucial quality? We should acknowledge a sense of humor to be the fundamental quality of a good man, of a moral man, of a religious man. And it does not need much looking; you just try to see it and everywhere..... There’s plenty to laugh about.

 Seriousness has become almost a part of our bones and blood. You will have to make some effort to get rid of seriousness, and you will have to be on the lookout- Wherever you can find something humorous happening, don’t miss the opportunity; throw inhibitions to the winds and easily laugh with all of your being. 

Laughter needs a great learning, and laughter is a great medicine. It can cure many of your tensions, anxieties. worries;, the whole energy can flow into laughter. And it's not necessary that there should be some occasion, some cause for you to be ready to laugh. 

I have seen some laughing meditation session; for no reason, people would sit and just start laughing. At first they would feel a little ever awkward that there was no reason- but everybody is doing it.... they would also start. 

Soon everybody was in such great laughter; People were rolling on the bottom . They were laughing at the actual fact that numerous people were laughing for no reason at all; there was nothing, not even a joke had been told. And it went all like waves .Laughing, laughing....... 

So there is no harm... Even just sitting in your room, close the door and have one hour of simple laughter. Laugh at yourself. But learn to laugh. 

Seriousness may be a sin, and it's a disease. Laughter has tremendous beauty, lightness. It will bring lightness to you, and it'll offer you wings to fly. And life is so full of opportunities. You just need the sensitivity. And create chances for other people to laugh. Laughter should be one among the foremost valued, cherished qualities of citizenry - Because only human beings can laugh; no animals are capable of it. Because it is human, laughter must be of the highest order. 

To suppress laughter is to destroy a human quality. 

👉We change psychologically when we laugh. We stretched muscles throughout our face and body, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues. 

People who believe in the benefit of laughter say it offers some of the same advantages as work out. Combining laughter and movement, like waving your arms, may be a good way to spice up your pulse .

👉Some studies have shown that the power to use humor may raise the extent of infection- fighting antibodies within the body and boost the amount of immune cells. 

👉Researchers at the University of Maryland found that the blood vessels of people who watched comedy movies expanded and contracted easily. But the blood vessel in the people who watched serious movies tended to tense up, restricting blood flow. 

👉One study of 19 people with diabetes looked at the effects of laughter on blood sugar level. After several sessions on humor and entertainment, it was found that the group had lower blood sugar levels.

Laughter is said to be contagious, because people laugh up to 30 times more when they’re in the company of others then when they are alone. Also, people who laugh a lot may just have a strong connection to the people around them. That in itself might have health benefit benefits. 

Darkness

Does Knowledge is darkness?

Knowledge is darkness-Bookish learning doesn't always banish ignorance.

The Upanishads say that the ignorant attend a World of Darkness but the learned enter an even darker world. But isn’t knowledge a lamp that banishes the darkness of ignorance? How can knowledge that dispels ignorance, extolled because the panacea for all ills and Evils, leads one to a world that's darker than the ignorance itself? ? 

The process of acquiring knowledge which illuminates an individual inside

and lets him become conscious of the external reality, begin with sense data. This data, when contextualised, transforms into information, which again turns into knowledge once we skill to use it. But knowledge is bipolar; counting on the context, sometimes one aspect of the knowledge is true and sometimes the opposite. there's no knowledge within the world which isn't dichotomous Experience including knowledge during application results in the germination of discerning wisdom. that's why it's said wisdom dawns as men get older. 

The external world

But what's the Teleological objective of this whole effort of knowing the external world? Why in the least, this process of data acquirement between the topic and object should take place? Simply put, this is often an attempt to become one with the external world. This process of data acquirement would continue until such time, the equilibrium is established. that's to mention, the method begins with a state where the topic and object are two separate realities and transfer of knowledge continues to facilitate state the identity of the objects within the subject. This process ideally would continue to tell there's no object left to understand. 

Every object has innumerable qualities then it might take very large if not Infinite amount of your time before this equilibrium is struck. Anyone who sticks to the present process contending that this process of data acquirement banishes ignorance is ignorant because he's never getting to achieve this process. the matter is that we have a brief and limited span of a lifetime, and they're is required another way, another practise if we were to achieve the equilibrium during this life itself or a minimum of during a definite time-frame in future. And this path isn't the trail of data but the trail of Pratyabhigna, direct experience. 

In his book ‘Tibetan yoga of dreams and sleep’, Tenzing Wangle Rinpoche’s explains with a gorgeous allegory, how knowledge became a hindrance to enlightenment. He says, in Tibet, new leather skins are put within the sun and rubbed with butter to form them softer. When a sentient being entered this world with the hundreds of past sanskaras, it's just like the new skin, tough and hard with narrow views and conceptual rigidity. 

Knowledge is just like the butter, rubbed in through practice, making it soft and pliable. But an equivalent butter, when stored in leather bags for a few years, make the luggage hard as wood and no amount of latest butter can soften them. Someone who spends a few years studying the teaching-acquiring knowledge, intellectualizing an excellent deal of little experience of practice, is like that hardened leather. The teaching can soften the hard skin of ignorance and conditioning, but once they are stored in intellect and not rubbed into the practitioner with practice and warmed with direct experience, the person becomes rigid and hard in his intellectual understanding. Then new teaching won't soften him, won't penetrate and alter him. We must take care to not store the teaching as only conceptual understanding, least that conceptual understanding becomes a block to wisdom. 

Tenzing Wangle Rinpoche further says that many philosophical systems are developed to lead beings to wisdom, but they produce ignorance in their followers hold close a dualistic understanding of reality. this is often unavoidable in any conceptual system, because the conceptual mind itself may be a manifestation of ignorance. 

Breaking the circle

Ignorance has a scope of redemption a minimum of sometime in future, But those believing within the inviolable supremacy of data and adhering to the trail of data acquirement would still trend on the never-ending path infinitely. The Upanishads warn us of the danger of being stuck within the furrows of data and wake us up to interrupt the circle and proceed on the trail of direct experience- one that doesn't depend upon the sense- mind interface between subject and object. 

Osho says, for aeons, people are moving round and round during a circle in a small room, wondering how enormous their room is since, despite many steps for aeons together, they failed to find the end of the room. Suddenly,  amongst them one of those circling morons decides to manoeuvre in a perpendicular direction, breaking the accepted path and lo from there he discovers the door-the entry and exit to the present presumably infinite- sized room- and gets liberated from the space. 

Physical Health

Why Physical health is important?

Healing through yoga

Let Prana Flow- Practice of asanas and praynam increases the life force.

Prana or life-force is the basis of all our physical activity.Its keeps our entire body regulated and healthy.According to the philosophy of Yoga,the body remains physically fit as long as the life force is circulated properly within it.If there is any hindrance or irregularity in its flow,the body becomes ill.Yoga is a method of regulating energy in the body by removing disease from it.Yoga has positive impact on all parts of our body.including nerves,veins,tissues,endocrine glands,and even our little cells.Hence,it has a positive effect on all activities of the body.

Secret to a long and happy life
The human body is an important vehicle, beside being a tool for spiritual growth. If your body is not healthy for a prolonged period of time,You will not even be able to mediate or do any sadhana. So, first and foremost Keep your body healthy. Asanas do not provide health benefit alone. The word Asanas means 'kaya sthiram'-That which steadies the body and comforts you.With regular practice of the  pranayamas and asanas, you can increase the power of mind as well as strengthen your immunity.

In the Sirsasana  ,the body goes upside down. One needs to train oneself to get the right coordination and balance to be still and steady as well as comfortable in Sirsasanas. This is often called king of asanas. One can derive great benefits from this asana. , since we are always standing on our feet. This asana increases blood flow, to the brain, lungs, and several other organs. The heart rest because it does not have to work against gravity to push the blood up. This rush of blood soothes and calms all organs with oxygen oxygenated blood and this ensures perfect functioning of the body.
Similarly, Sarvangasana is called the Queen of all asanas. It has a specific effect on the thyroid and parathyroid glands. Every asana has a particular effect on specific organ and muscles. Therefore, one needs to have an in depth understanding of asanas, including the right way to do them.

Mindful movements-Focus on your movements and on your breathing while Practising Yoga asanas to keep your body an mind healthy.
Since asanas have a profound effect on your body, it is important to perform them with awareness. If you are doing leg raise, then you should raise and lower your legs with awareness, being alert to the action. If you don’t move your legs with awareness, then it is not an asana, but merely a form of exercise. Asanas should be done with awareness of body and breath.

In Tadasana , you raise your arm straight up while breathing in. When you raise your arm while breathing in, oxygen reaches all parts of the lungs-Posterior, anterior, Superior and inferior. When you breathe in without raising your arms, only the upper, and to some extent, the middle part of the lungs is oxygenated and carbon dioxide accumulates in the rest of lungs. Carbon dioxide is toxic to the body and the accumulation of toxins is akin to invite illness and early death. While performing asanas, it is extremely important to keep the mind alert, to remain aware, an establish coordination with the breath. Yoga practitioner said that if your spine is young, you are young- So to keep your spine young, you should practise all asanas which make the spine flexible and strong, including Bhujangasana, Sarpasana,  Makarasana,  Kandhar. All these are good for the spine. And learn them under the guidance of a yoga practitioner only.
According to Hatha yoga, a major advantage of doing asanas is that they have a direct effect on our - thus helping immensely in the awakening of Chakras. While doing an asan , you also breathing in rhythm; this balances the Ida and Pingala Nadi and helps in activating the Sushumna nadi. It may seem that you are doing asanas ,but  actually you are preparing for the opening of the chakras and awakening of the Kundalini. If your Mooladhara and Swadhisthana Chakra are not activated , you cannot be free from desire, no matter how much knowledge you gather by listening to spiritual discourses.

Chakras- Mooladhara, Manipura. Kumar, swadisthana , Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, Sahasrara
The Mooladhara Chakra controls all the system related to West elimination at both the physical as well as psychological level ,and is the point where all primal urges are stored. All your longings and desires are trapped in the Swadhisthana Chakra.
The mechanism of this chakra is so subtle that it understanding is beyond the intellect of an average person. Our conscious mind is unaware about how the Swadhisthana Chakra controls our Samskaras or our mental impressions, choices, decisions and actions. Even your friend are, in a way, selected by the Swadisthana. No one can control the mind and the body without activating the Swadhisthana Chakra.

Note-Refer to my earlier post post about Chakras for details.

Emotional health

Why Mental health is important?  

👉Mental Health👈

I want you to imagine this for a flash. Two men, Sanjay and Yash, living within the same neighborhood, from an equivalent educational background, similar occupation, and that they both happen at their local accident emergency complaining of acute chest pain. Sanjay is offered a cardiac procedure, but Yash is sent home. What might explain the difference within the experience of those two nearly identical men? Rajiv suffers from a mental illness. The difference within the quality of medical aid, received by people with mental disease is one among the explanations. Why they live shorter lives than people without mental disease. Even within the best-resourced countries within the world, this anticipation gap is the maximum amount as 20 years. In the developing countries of the planet, this gap is even larger. But in fact, mental illnesses can kill in additional direct ways also. The most obvious example is suicide it'd surprise a number of you here because it did me once I discovered that suicide is at the highest of the list of the leading causes of death in young people in all countries in the world including the poorest countries of the world But beyond the impact of a health condition on life expectancy, we; re also concerned about the quality of life lived Now, in order for us to examine the overall impact of a health condition both on life expectancy also as on the standard of a life lived, we'd like to use a metric called the DALY- which stands for a Disability-Adjusted Life Year, Now once we do that, we discover some startling things about mental illness from a global perspective We discover that, for example, mental illnesses are amongst the leading causes of disability around the world- Depression, for example, is the third-leading cause of disability, alongside conditions such as diarrhoea and pneumonia in children. When you put all the mental illnesses together, they account for roughly 15 per cent of the entire global burden of disease. Indeed, mental illnesses also are very damaging to people’s lives, but beyond just the burden of disease, allow us to consider absolutely the numbers. The World Health Organization estimates that there are nearly four to 5 hundred million people living on our small planet that is suffering from a mental disease. Now a number of you here look a touch astonished by that number, but consider for a flash the incredible diversity of mental illnesses, from autism and intellectual disability in childhood, through to depression and anxiety, substance misuse and psychosis in adulthood, all the way through to dementia in adulthood, and that I am pretty sure that every and each one us presents here today can consider a minimum of one person, a minimum of one person, who’s suffering from a mental disease in our most intimate social networks. But beyond the staggering numbers, what’s truly important from a worldwide health point of view, what’s truly worrying from a worldwide health point of view, is that the vast majority of those affected individuals don't receive the care that we all know can transform their lives, and remember, we do have robust evidence that a variety of interventions, medicines, psychological interventions and social interventions, can make a huge difference. And yet, even in the best-resourced countries, for example in Europe, roughly 50 per cent of affected people don’t receive these interventions. In the third world countries, that so-called treatment gap approaches an astonishing 90 per cent.

secret to a long and happy life

It isn’t surprising, then, that if you ought to speak to anyone suffering from a mental disease, the probabilities are that you simply will hear stories of hidden suffering, shame and discrimination in nearly every sector of their lives. But perhaps most heartbreaking of all are the stories of the abuse of even the most basic human rights, sadly, even in the very institutions that were built to care for people with mental illnesses, the mental hospitals. It’s this injustice that has really driven my mission to undertake to try to to a touch bit to rework the lives of individuals suffering from mental disease, and a very critical action that we should focus on is to bridge the gulf between the knowledge we have that can transform lives, the knowledge of effective treatments, and how we actually use that knowledge in the everyday world. And an especially important challenge that we had to face is the great shortage of mental health professionals, like psychiatrists and psychologists, particularly within the developing world. This is a reality of a world in which there were almost no mental health professionals at all. In Zimbabwe, for instance, there have been almost a dozen psychiatrists, most of whom lived and worked in Harare city, leaving only a few to deal with the psychological state care needs of nine million people living within the countryside. In India, the situation was not a lot better. To give you a perspective, if I had to translate the proportion of psychiatrists within the population that one might see in Britain to India, one might expect roughly 150,000 psychiatrists in India. In reality, take a guess. The actual number is about 3,000, about two per cent of that number. It became quickly apparent to me that we couldn’t follow the kinds of psychological state care models that we've, one that relied heavily on specialized, expensive psychological state professionals to supply psychological state care in countries like India and Zimbabwe. We had to think out of the box about some other model It was then that I came across some books, and in these books, I discovered the idea of task shifting in global health. The idea is actually quite simple. when you’re in need of specialized health care professionals, use whoever is out there within the community, train them to supply a variety of health care interventions, and in these books, I read inspiring examples, for instance of how ordinary people had been trained to deliver babies, diagnose and treat early pneumonia, to great effect. And it struck me that if we could train ordinary people to deliver such complex health care interventions, then perhaps they might also do an equivalent with psychological state care. Well today, I’m very happy to report back to you that there are many experiments in task shifting in psychological state care across the developing world over the past decade, and that I want to share with you the findings of three particular such experiments, all three of which focused on depression, the foremost common of all mental illnesses. In rural Uganda, Paul Bolton and his colleagues, using villagers, demonstrated that they might deliver interpersonal

psychotherapy for depression and, employing a randomized control design, showed that 90 per cent of the people receiving this intervention recovered as compared to roughly 40 per cent within the comparison villages. Similarly, using a randomized control trial in rural Pakistan, Atif Rahman and his colleagues showed that lady health visitors, who are community maternal health workers in Pakistan’s health care system, could deliver cognitive behaviour therapy for mothers who were depressed, again showing dramatic differences in the recovery rates. Roughly 75 per cent of mothers recovered as compared to about 45 per cent within the comparison villages. And in a trial in Goa, in India, it again showed that lay counsellors drawn from local communities might be trained to deliver psychosocial interventions for depression, anxiety, resulting in 70 per cent recovery rates as compared to 50 per cent in the comparison primary health centres. Now, if we had to bond of these different experiments in task shifting, and there have in fact been many other examples, and check out and identify what are the key lessons we will learn that creates for a successful task-shifting operation. The first is that we'd like to simplify the message that we’re using, stripping away all the jargon that medicine has invented around itself. We need to unpack complex health care interventions into smaller components which will be more easily transferred to less-trained individuals we'd like to deliver health care, not in large institutions, but on the brink of people’s homes, and that we got to deliver health care using whoever is out there and affordable in our local communities. And importantly, we'd like to reallocate the few specialists who are available to perform roles like capacity-building and supervision. Now for me, task shifting is thought with truly global significance, because albeit it's arisen out of things of the shortage of resources that you simply find in developing countries, I feel it's tons of significance for better-resourced countries also. Why is that? Well, in part, because health care in the developed world, the health care costs in the [developed] world, are rapidly spiraling out of control and a huge chunk of those costs are human resource costs. But equally important is because health care has become so incredibly professionalized that it’s become very remote and far away from local communities. For me, what’s truly beautiful about the idea of task shifting, though, isn’t that it simply makes health care more accessible and affordable but that it is also fundamentally empowering. It empowers ordinary people to be simpler in caring for the health of others in their community, and in doing so, to become better guardians of their own health. Indeed, for me, task shifting is that the ultimate example of the democratization of medical knowledge, and thus, medical power. Just over 30 years ago, the nations of the planet assembled at Alma-Ata and made this iconic declaration. Well, I think all of you can guess those 12 years on, we’re still nowhere near that goal. Still, today, armed thereupon knowledge ordinary people within the community are often trained and, with sufficient supervision and support, can deliver a variety of health care interventions effectively, perhaps that promise is within reach now. Indeed, to implement the slogan of Health for All, we'll get to involve beat that specific journey, and within the case of psychological state, especially we would need to involve people that are suffering from mental disease and their caregivers. It is for this reason that, some years ago, the Movement for Global psychological state was founded as a kind of a virtual platform upon which professionals like myself and people suffering from mental disease could stand together, shoulder-to-shoulder, and advocate for the rights of individuals with mental disease to receive the care that we all know can transform their lives, and to live a life with dignity. And in closing, once you have a flash of peace or quoin these very busy few days or perhaps afterwards, spare an idea for that person you considered who features a mental disease, or persons that you simply considered who have a mental disease, and dare to worry for them.

👉Emotional strength👈

To lead a balanced life, emotional strength is important. We can enjoy our success, career and health only if we are emotionally strong. On the other hand, even after getting success, people who are emotionally weak, are prone to commit suicide because of depression. Emotional strength create balance in life and also help us to get success in a creative way.

Emotional strength is something that you acquire from childhood. It is related to how you felt as a child and now and not on how cool and image your branded clothes and expensive toys give us a child. Nobody want to relieve those bad feelings of childhood because those emotions do not seem important to us. Being vulnerable , children absorb negativity quickly.

As a child, we tend to absorb the negativity of consciousness and this becomes double if we belong to a dysfunctional family. We grow up with these thoughts in our subconscious- and this force can become very powerful. Therefore, it is difficult to lead a respectful and a successful life as an adult, later. We may have success, but these prove to be temporary, because that strong base is missing.

The biggest symptom of lack of emotional strength is that you lack meaningful relationship in your adult life. Emotional weakness ruins your relationship. That happens in young years. In such a case, one feels like a loser in a relationship without ever being a receiver. The fact is that being always a giver is no more a matter of pride, but receiving it equally important. Sometimes, these relationship manifest in loneliness.

Despite having a  large family and a group of friends, you might still feel lonely deep within.

Apart from loneliness, people who lack emotional strength tend to attract  lot of hardship in their work environment and this later affects their health,too.

Problem with the skeletal and digestive system indicate a lack of emotional strength in the person.

 However we can always work toward our welfare and change ourselves. The first need is to acknowledge this. Our parents concentrated on things which they could see- like our Physical health or  performance in school and they did their best to improve these. That could not work on areas which could not be seen. That is why the feeling harboured as children remained completely  ignored and buried deep somewhere in the subconscious.

Now that you know about these feelings you can acknowledge them and work toward balancing them. Work on increasing your emotional strength through the following:-

👉 Being emotionally weak, you may not know how to receive. If you think you lack emotional strength, work toward coexistence -that will help you more instead of working on your personal relationship. Coexistence teaches us to give and receive gracefully, and subsequently improve personal relationship.

👉Working on the heart Chakra is important; this seat of love balances giving and receiving. To work on the heart Chakra, get involved in something creative like art and literature from around the world.

👉Working with the inner child helps. It is wonderful to care for your inner child because it immediately starts showing positive results in your environment.

👉Get connected with nature or with life around you. There is so much of plant and animal life around us. Connecting with them helps in connecting with fellow humans in a better and respectful way.

👉Keep a check on your depression level. It is important to be relaxed while working with yourself for emotional strength.

Manifest things -the science of yoga is based on tapping the power of consciousness.

 It is a wrong perception that your spiritual existence is divorced from the physical body. The physical body is a vehicle in which the being makes the journey of the soul. For the journey to be successful, it is important for the vehicle to be in top form.

Asian texts abound with the description of men and women whose strength, beauty, attraction and Glow could mesmerize and attract not just earthly being but also gods and goddesses. These people did not go to gym and parlours for undergoing surgeries and implants; some of them spent a year in jungles and in Ashrams, begging for alms 

to meet their daily needs, yet there glow and Magnetism was unsurpassed and stayed so till the end.

On the other hand, man today spend hours in gyms, take all kinds of diet supplements and invest in the most sophisticated beauty and health products and yet good health and youthful looks elude them. The majority complain of the joint and back problem, hair loss, wrinkles and age lines, dullness of complexion and loss of strength and Vigour by the time they're in their 30s.

The reason for this is simple. Man of yesteryears relied on consciousness that was channelized by their Guru; Mann of today resort to machines and Chemicals. The former elevates you; the letter age you. Our body exists at the level of the elements- which we see, touch, hear, smell and test -and also at the level of consciousness. It is the latter which governs the former and not vice versa. It is the consciousness that manifests into the five elements that form our body and it is also by accessing this consciousness that we can manifest anything in our body and in creation, just like our ancestors had done. Trying to alter the consciousness by physical means has the reverse effect of ageing the body. This would be apparent when you go to meet a dietician; you will find that the dietician too does not exude any glow, will not have much strength and will be frail.

The science of yoga is based on tapping the phenomenal power of consciousness. When that happens, a practitioner's ability of thought manifestation heightens. Sanatan Kriya is an effective tool through which consciousness can change your looks according to your desire and make you look young, full of vigour and enhance the glow on your face. It is easy to practice and is well- suited for modern individuals...

 Miracles of the midbrain. 

More than 90% of our thoughts are negative. Make a commitment that I don’t want this thought that wastes my energy. Easier said than done, but it is easy to solve your problems-All you have to do is to manifest the image you want and you can have it. The way ahead is to abandon the logic the neocortex part of your brain hands over to you in the form of negative limiting questions like were what, how and why and instead lies in activating the midbrain region. Don’t waste your energy by staying in mind consciousness. Instead, go into the midbrain consciousness, you can manifest anything in your life if only you put the image inside your midbrain. once you have done that through the simple method that focuses on light entering your right eye, then stilling the right eyeball, before moving to the left part of your brain and finally coming to the centre of your forehead, near your Anjana Chakra, the rest is relatively easier. You now enter into a meditative state along with some simple chants like a deep, humming ‘ huh and humph’ sounds that are now combined with a series of Aums along with thought manifestation of what you want in your life

At this point, you can focus your mind on Divinity- and your meditation will become even more powerful. Of course, the sacred chants do not work If you insist on putting blasphemous and profane thoughts in your midbrain. It will help your meditation along If you draw a line with your finger from the middle of your forehead up till your hairline. If you are willing to experiment, the midbrain region- the pineal center-secrets beneficial juice at around 2:30 – 4:30 a.m. in the morning., so meditating at that time is most effective.

👉The midbrain is your miracle brain. Given that this is so then” why stay in your negative thoughts?”  That’s wasting your energy, almost like being unfair to yourselves. Most of our thoughts are garbage, so try to stay more in the midbrain. And if we keep thinking of garbage, it will soon manifest in our life.

👉Meditation is simple and anyone,  even illiterate people, can do this.  Where people will begin activating their midbrain region and surmount their financial health and relationship problem. Become the living consciousness of God. Produce thoughts from the midbrain. Living in poverty is an anatomical abnormality. One that can be corrected when we put the right thought manifestation in our midbrain.

👉The midbrain is what Yogis use,” in today’s, modern, technological, and logic-driven world, we ignore this part of our brain and give importance only to the neocortex reason -the part of our brain that is into logic, analytical thinking as well as into  negativity .”This part will not allow any miracles to happen. This is the frontal lobes that get into fear, and into complicated questions. In contrast, the midbrain never complicates and instead give you immediate thoughts manifestation.

👉“Patanjali says, Chitta vritti nirodha” or stop thoughts from flooding the brain. This wisdom is ancient, but we have got enmeshed  in the neocortex reason and fallen prey to hardcore logic and have lost the importance of Patanjali’s  wise word.” Instead, we should concentrate on thinking from our midbrain region. Doing so will make condition just right,  for it is the midbrain that takes us towards higher intelligence.
