<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Practice makes a man perfect is the version we use very commonly but understand it very ofteny. <a href="http://www.speakingtree.in/public/topics/life/self" style="color: #0022b5; text-decoration: none;">Self</a>Management is not a easy play, it needs continuous practice. <a href="http://www.speakingtree.in/public/topics/health/yoga" style="color: #0022b5; text-decoration: none;">Yoga</a> is a lifestyle which regulates ones Thought – pattern, Character, and Behavior and it reflects into our attitude, personality and Designs. It is a total science of strengthening and improving the physical, mental, and <a href="http://www.speakingtree.in/public/topics/soul/spiritual" style="color: #0022b5; text-decoration: none;">spiritual</a> state of being.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
If we define Health, it is also not only the absence of disease or infirmity it’s a state of complete Physical, Mental Spiritual and Social well-being. Health is very nicely defined in ancient Ayurvedic text<em>Susrut Samhita</em> in fifteenth chapter verses 41 as:-- </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<em> Samdoshaḥ Samāgnischa Samdhātumalakriyaḥ /</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
<em> ; Prassanātmāendriyamanaḥ Swastha Ityabhidhīyate//</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Meaning - Only that person is healthy, whose <em>doshas dhatumal</em> and<em> agni</em> (the basic elements and functional energy streams as per one’s natural constitution) are balanced and free from all defects and disorders and whose mind and soul are in perfect harmony.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
True health is a state of wholeness where all organ systems of the body function at optimum levels 100% of the time. Health is not simply the absence of Sickness. What is the true definition of Healthy Living? It sounds silly that we need to define Healthy Living. After all, we know what Healthy is and we also know what Living is.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Interestingly enough, health is not simply defined as just the absence of disease. The actual definition of Healthy Living is the steps, actions and strategies one puts in place to achieve optimum health. Healthy Living is about taking responsibility and making smart health choices for today and for the future. Eating right, getting physically fit, emotional <a href="http://www.speakingtree.in/public/topics/health/wellness" style="color: #0022b5; text-decoration: none;">wellness</a>, spiritual wellness and prevention are all apart of creating a healthy lifestyle. Since the entire YOU, meaning all aspects of one’s self, must work in harmony to achieve wellness, you need to put balanced energy into each aspect of yourself.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
The body or <strong>Physical You</strong> requires good nutrition, appropriate weight, beneficial exercise, adequate rest and proper stress management. The mind or <strong>Emotional You</strong> needs self-supportive attitudes, positive thoughts and viewpoints and a positive self-image. You also need to give and receive forgiveness, love and compassion; you need to laugh and experience happiness; you need joyful relationships with yourself and others. The <strong>Spiritual You</strong> requires inner calmness, openness to your creativity, and trust in your inner knowing. And for some it requires having a relationship with a higher power.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
We all know when the Physical You is out of balance. Our body tells us right away. We feel fatigue or catch a cold or maybe become chronically ill. But how do we know when the Emotional You or Spiritual You are out of balance?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Sit down and outline your definition of Healthy Living. List all your negative habits, the ones that contribute to your unhealthy lifestyle (i.e. smoking, excessive alcohol consumption). You may even want to consider your sexual habits and ask yourself if you are practicing unsafe sex. Then take the time to list your current health conditions. Taking the Wellness Quiz will help identify other significant areas that you need to include while outlining your definition of Healthy Living. Once you have all your information written down it’s time to create your Healthy Living Plan. Below is an outline adapted from the American Holistic Health Association. You may find this helpful in listing your goals.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Add as many goals as you need to this outline. Once you have completed your definition of Healthy Living and have turned that into a concrete plan, it’s time to prioritize. Pick a few of the goals that you feel are most important to your overall health and happiness and start with those. Don’t try to do them all at once that’s a sure fire way to fail! Start with 2-3 for a month and then add one per month until you have achieved all your goals. Achieving total health requires taking responsibility, making a commitment to yourself, creating a plan and then taking action. If you can follow these simple steps you will be on your way to living a healthier <a href="http://www.speakingtree.in/public/topics/life/life" style="color: #0022b5; text-decoration: none;">life</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Health is a natural facet of liveliness - both by definition and realization. The ancient Indians had attributed the secret of <em><strong>”jivem shardah shatam”</strong></em> - hundred years of vigorous, healthy, happy and creative life - to the total harmony of the mode of living with the Nature and the spiritual inheritance of life. The yoga aims for healthy tuning of all the three bodies (physical, subtle and causal) of a person.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; margin-left: 0.5in; padding: 0px;">
yogasthah kuru karmaani sangam tyaktvaa dhananjaya /</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; margin-left: 0.5in; padding: 0px;">
<em>siddhyasiddhyoh samo bhuutvaa samatvam yoga ucyate//</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Remaining steadfast in <em>yoga,</em> oh <em>Dhananjaya (Arjuna)</em>, perform actions, abandoning attachment, remaining the same to success and failure alike. This evenness of mind is called yoga. </div>

<br />
<br />Stress Management, Anger Management,Lifestyle Management Diet Management and other practical aspects are the secondary components of this process.
<br />
<br />Management of self grows slowly and it develops the potentials and skills in life. What should be the next step in our life? Meditate for a while, Try to find out the objective and work hard to achieve that. It depends what we want to develop....... Strength grows when we dare, Unity grows when we cheer, Mission grows when we share... & Team grows when we care....

<br />The Practice of Meditation is to open the inner eyes. Explaining what mediation is, it can be said that it is an art of observation and Guru is the one who teaches us to observe. Negativity is prevailing because the art of viewing (circumstances) has deteriorated. It is the time to change our outlook and our attitude to stay away from negativity. Giving an example, Gurudev Pandit Sri Ram Sharma Acharya wrote a book 'Mahakal aur Yug Pratyavartan Prakriya' in six days during the acute pain of Sciatic in his legs. This is idealism of doing the constructive work even in the most adverse situations. The path of spirituality is like walking on a double edged sword. All the great saints like Meera, Kabir, Ramkrishna Paramhans, Shri Arvind and Vivekananda has faced immense difficulties. Sacrifice is the key for walking on the path of spirituality and the biggest sacrifice is to lose self, our own existence, our own ego. Dhyan is a process where Guru gives a new eye. Because the physical eyes can see the circumstances around but the INNER eye is to watch within i.e. our emotions and our thoughts. If we want to tackle the circumstances around we need to see within as the solution for the source of the problems around. The biggest barriers for Dhyan is our past sanskar and our way of living. These conflicts within us can be destroyed by Guru. Maharshi Arvind calls human beings as 'Mental Animals' whose biological nature dominates the psychological nature. Untill the sanskars are cleansed, a person cannot change. All academic degrees have no value in front of the art of Dhyan. Dhyan is a process of cleansing sanskars. One can run away from everything in this world except his own mind. Dhyan lessens the weight of mind. Dhyan gives us an introduction to our own self. Dhyan is a process to fill our self with light. If we want to have a wider vision as compared with an average person and if we want to develop our emotional quotient,we must perform Dhyan. Dhyan (Meditation) is the only process to develop the divinity withinAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12277717589920846114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730993930057311593.post-73226247287986852352011-08-11T21:28:00.000-07:002011-08-11T21:41:07.505-07:00Self Management Technique (Yoga Nidra)

<br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Yoga Nidra is one of the finest way to Self Management Yoga-Masters as well as Psychologists are using it now days as a Psycho-spiritual Technique of Healing. Ancient Indian scriptures are pregnant with the knowledge of self realization. </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Yoga Nidra</i><span style="font-family:arial;"> may be one such technique at the same path. It is a complete practice of Yoga Sadhana. It can lead the aspirant at the stage of Samadhi. These days </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Yoga Nidra</i><span style="font-family:arial;"> is practiced as a best-known technique to induce complete physical mental and emotional relaxation. </span><i style="font-family: arial;">Yoga Nidra</i><span style="font-family:arial;"> is a state</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> of consciousness, which is, neither sleep nor awaken, neither is it concentration nor hypnotism. It can be defined, as an altered state of consciousness.</span></span>
<br /><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">For the practice of <i>Yoga Nidra</i> one should lie flat on his back and follow the spoken instruction of yoga instructor. It is convenient to use <i>Yoga Nidra</i> tape. During the practice there should be no movement by the pra</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">ctitioner, as well as he should try to remain awake </span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">and aware of every given instruction. In <i>Yoga Nidra</i><i>, </i>it is not necessary to concentrate. One should just keep the mind moving from point to point and be aware of every experience. <i>Yoga Nidra</i> means sleep with a trace of awareness. Practice of <i>Yoga Nidra</i> in this study is t</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">he simplest method of relaxation which is being practiced in the flat lying position of <i>shavasana</i> and follows the spoken instruction of Yoga instructor. The practice includes the resolve, body part awareness, breath awareness and visualization.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Scientists are taking advantage of new technologies to see exactly what goes on inside the brains of Yoga nidra practitioners. The neuroscientists hypothesize that regular meditation actually alters the way the brain is wired, and that these changes could be at the heart of claims that meditation can improve health and well-being. But the rigors of the scientific method might never have been applied to studying the practice of Yoga Nidra.</span></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixoJjE5UxSKCJEx0HOEeNw_P1TZMo4FGhqCEoU6GcfqN_tXcUfGT0AxrmApcCUt22IAxjQBwSAsUSBzLw6e8LmbH7DEYxqotlo1SXzge5dmDQlXAAblRpGVZr0sz4tQqu-XCaoHEYHSgS6/s1600/0speechlecture912.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 238px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixoJjE5UxSKCJEx0HOEeNw_P1TZMo4FGhqCEoU6GcfqN_tXcUfGT0AxrmApcCUt22IAxjQBwSAsUSBzLw6e8LmbH7DEYxqotlo1SXzge5dmDQlXAAblRpGVZr0sz4tQqu-XCaoHEYHSgS6/s320/0speechlecture912.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639822529905691634" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">Dr. Kamakhya Kumar in 2006 awarded by Ph.

style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Stress is a cognitive or emotional response made by the individual towards any situation, which demands adjustment. Udupa (1978) suggests that stress-related disorders evolve gradually through four stages. In the first stage, psychological symptoms like anxiety and irritability arise due to over activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The second stage is characterized by related physical symptoms like high blood pressure, increased heart rate etc. In the third stage, the abnormalities manifest clinically in the organ systems. In the last stage, severe symptoms in particular organs result which need long-term medical management.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Scientists are taking advantage of new technologies to see exactly what goes on inside the brains of Yoga nidra practitioners. The neuroscientists hypothesize that regular meditation actually alters the way the brain is wired, and that these changes could be at the heart of claims that meditation can improve health and well-being.<span style=""> </span>But the rigors of the scientific method might never have been applied to studying the practice of meditation.<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Modern psychology as well as yogic philosophy believes in three kinds of tension - muscular tensions, emotional tensions and mental tensions - which can be progressively released through the systematic and regular practice of Yoga and Meditation. Muscular tension results from nervous and endocrinal imbalances. It manifests in the form of stiffness and rigidity in the physical body. In the practice of Meditation the body is progressively relaxed, which in turn releases the accumulated muscular tensions.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; color: black;"><br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Yoga nidra<i style=""> </i>is probably best-known technique to induce complete physical mental and emotional relaxation. Yoga nidra<i style=""> </i>is a state of consciousness, which is, neither sleep nor awaken, neither is it concentration nor hypnotism. It can be defined, as an altered state of consciousness<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Swami Rama (1998) is a state between sleep and Samadhi. It is a half- sleep and half waking state: it is not a waking state, and it is not really a sleep state. Yoga nidra is a state of conscious sleep in which one can record what is going on. There is a fine demarcation between Yoga nidra and Samadhi. In yoga nidra one can record those which he cannot receive in the conscious state. When one cannot register something properly in the waking state, they can go into yoga nidra to register it.<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Sri Ram Sharma Acharya (1995) Yoga nidra can be understood as scientific sleep. It is a total practice of yoga it self. The practice of Yoga nidra on the contrary allows one to attain a state of ‘awakened’ sleep. In this state, the body and the external mind (and hence the thought process) are made to sleep as per the order of the inner will. The determination, the willpower of the individual self remain active in this state and endeavor auto- suggestive experience of the power of the unconscious mind and its linkage with the soul.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Sw. Satyananda Saraswati (1975) explains Yoga nidra as a state of mind between wakefulness and dream. When someone practices Yoga nidra he opens the deeper phases of the mind. During the practice of Yoga nidra the consciousness is at different levels. Sometimes it is very close to the senses and at others, it is at a very remote distance. When the consciousness is at a remote distances.<span style=""> </span>It is only possible to understand through the auditory channels. During Yoga nidra the consciousness is suspended for a few moments periodically, which means that it alternates between the subconscious and unconscious states. For the practice of Yoga nidra one should lie flat on his back and follow the spoken instruction of yoga instructor. It is convenient to use Yoga nidra tape. During the practice there should be no movement by the practitioner, as well as he should try to remain awake and aware of every given instruction. </span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Various studies have been done in different part of world for observing the effect of <i style="">Yoga nidra.</i> M.J.

Various centers in the brain control, modify, and affect our bodily functions. In fact, there is a center in the brain for every act, whether willful or reflex, physical or mental. Experimental data have identified many such specific centers. Stimulation of these centers leads to appropriate actions, be they motor or sensory, secretary or emotive, affective or cognitive. Thus we have a holographic representation of the body on the brain.<br /></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">In Yoga nidra exactly opposite process is used to make the brain centers active by focusing awareness on the parts of the body in a definite sequence. Thus, the person tries to stimulate various parts of the brain by focusing the awareness on the corresponding parts of the body. By awareness is meant 'attitude of witness' towards physical or mental actions of the body. This stimulation ultimately results into relaxation and a reduction at Psycho-physiological level particularly stress in the practitioners of Yoga nidra.</span></p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When the individual fails to adjust to the situation, only then distress results. Some individuals are prone to developing distress due to their unconscious urge to remain tense. When distress continues for a long period, it may result in psychological disorders like neuroses or even psychoses. In the practice of Yoga nidra, the inherent tendency to become tense is rooted out and the individual starts viewing the situation as less demanding. Gersten (1978) said that the practitioner of Yoga nidra becomes his own psychotherapist, recognizing and systematically alleviating his own personal problems and interpersonal difficulties.<span style=""> </span>It can be concluded that the practitioners of Yoga nidra becomes his own psychotherapist to manage his stress to live a stress free life.<span style=""></span></span> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></p> </m:defjc></m:rmargin></m:lmargin></m:dispdef></m:smallfrac>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12277717589920846114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730993930057311593.post-15326083832691561702011-03-05T01:32:00.000-08:002011-03-05T02:14:56.779-08:00Kay Stairyam (Body Stillness) : Self management techniqueYou all will be agreeing with this statement i.e. there is a deep relation between body and mind. Practices of Hatha Yoga are based on same Principle - Cleansing of the mind through cleansing of the body. Practice of Kayasthairyam is also based on same principle - Stillness of the body : Stillness of the mind.<br /><br />Why this stillness is so important? Because all the major or minor accidents are due to the fluctuation of the mind only. Just control over your nerves and all the success is in your hand.<br /><br />How to practice Kaya stairyam? Sit comfortably in any meditative posture. Keep your eyes closed and try to normalize your breath. Become aware of the outer environment. With your closed eyes try to observe the surroundings. Slowly shift your awareness on your body and rotate your awareness on different body parts. Observe the stillness of the body. Say yourself I will not move, I will not move, I will not move.<br /><br />Now the mind game starts......... Just feel that your body is made up of water molecules……… There is too much cold outside and the water molecules are getting freeze. Slowly all your body parts are going to be convert into Ice. As the time being it will become more tough and hard. Now the body is like a statue made up of Ice………….. You can think, you can observe, you can analyze everything but can’t move because you are a statue…………. Observe Total Stillness of the body……….. Be in the same feeling until you are enjoying the practice. There will be no thought, no anxiety, and no negativity in your mind. Experience the inner silence and just observe the control over your mind<br /><br />Don’t quit the practice suddenly. Just become aware of the body and the surroundings. Slowly move your toes and figures. Rub your palm and sack your eyes. Gently open your eyes. Practice of Kayasthairyam is over.<br /><br />This is the time to observe the effect of this practice. You will find a total fresh mind for your new job. Just do it now and let me know your experiences.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12277717589920846114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730993930057311593.post-59755694294181735412010-12-14T21:25:00.000-08:002010-12-14T21:41:21.070-08:00Self Development technique - Savita Dhyan<div>Today I would discuss the self development technique, i.e Savita Dhyan. It gives lot of energy and lot of Vitality. Practitioners get success in every field of life through this practice.</div><br /><div>A disciplined mind helps in physical, mental and spiritual well being. There are several techniques of meditation among them Savita Dhyan (Meditation on rising Sun) is highly effective and beneficial.<br />Pandit Śrīram Sharma Acharya in a Sadhana Camp described the practical aspect of Savita Dhyan. In his words: Mental concentration on some gross objects e.g. the rising Sun, is most convenient for majority of people; because, the human mind, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX09CpP3EGIGldKg2-pupzVoayJxf1e79Fmvyo3ndh7IR1prLXccGBVtnnjNMeVH6gWMtWvf3P5tTZDBMIEuJDUcFkYrH9CFOGtsv6Xx3aXz35PM5toMdvKCmlDDfnva0WQCzS8k4hkJ55/s1600/images.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550777715295988002" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 255px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 208px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX09CpP3EGIGldKg2-pupzVoayJxf1e79Fmvyo3ndh7IR1prLXccGBVtnnjNMeVH6gWMtWvf3P5tTZDBMIEuJDUcFkYrH9CFOGtsv6Xx3aXz35PM5toMdvKCmlDDfnva0WQCzS8k4hkJ55/s320/images.jpg" border="0" /></a>in general, is not so developed that it could be focused for a stretch without any visible or perceptible symbol. However with sincere practice, one begins to realize the presence of spirit in his inner self and learn to meditate upon it.<br />How to practice it? Select a well ventilated calm and clean place for the practice. It will be more effective if the timing is of sunrise. Sit in padmasana, Siddhasana or Sukhasana (simple cross legged) with the spine erect and body parts relaxed. After the body part awareness observe the natural flow of breath. Slowly bring the awareness at center of brain and try to visualize the light spot of rising Sun. </div><div>For further assist your mind you can keep a picture of rising sun infront of you. Keep concentrating on this red bright ball. Later on feel the energy and warmness in your body. Just feel that with every inhalation you are absorbing the cosmic energy. You are gaining the physical strength, mental power and spiritual energy with the timebeing. Keep on practicing for 10 to 20 minutes or untill you feel comfotable. To quit the practice rub your palm and seck your eyes.</div><div> </div><div>After a few days practice the infusion of light in the brain in the mind should inspire the practitioner to become a witness of all the internal experiences. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12277717589920846114noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730993930057311593.post-34853809143273885032010-12-01T22:10:00.000-08:002010-12-01T22:19:42.883-08:00Self realization process (So- Ham Sadhana)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbCP665HXXgDWYZZUcLA_q6vsq-U9eqY5tgxNUifSID1HgIG6h0NFUGW2hwxMUgZvvP_0LX6uH-YhczYGUcii9FDJckIFvVhqgXbRvSWjWHVh7S4kwZbuOhaPbbVmwbkl-lNuuMIJ7zvc8/s1600/DSCN9192.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbCP665HXXgDWYZZUcLA_q6vsq-U9eqY5tgxNUifSID1HgIG6h0NFUGW2hwxMUgZvvP_0LX6uH-YhczYGUcii9FDJckIFvVhqgXbRvSWjWHVh7S4kwZbuOhaPbbVmwbkl-lNuuMIJ7zvc8/s320/DSCN9192.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545964738349902850" border="0" /></a><br />One of the effective technique which helps in Self management, is the topic of discussion today. So-ham Sadhana is a technique of meditation to realise the oneness of human consciousness and super consciousness. I am Thou- is the base of this sadhna-the meaning of this mantra. Only due to ignorance we are not able to recognise ourselves. We repeat the mantra with every breath but because of lack of awareness we are not able to understand it. <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Method: -</b> Sit in padmāsana, Siddhāsana or Sukhāsana (simple cross legged) with the spine erect and body parts relaxed. After the body part awareness observe the natural flow of breath. With every inhalation the sound of “So” can be observed and with every exhalation “Ham” sound can be observed. Just watch the breath and feel it. No breath should enter or pass out without your knowledge. The breathing will become slow and the total concentration will be on “So-Ham” mantra. The sound of this mantra is <i>śāswat</i>, you don’t have to produce. It will come itself. With every inhalation So-o-o and with every exhalation Ham-m-m.<span style=""> </span>The feeling will be I am Thou (This means supreme God, Thou means supreme power, Thou means super consciousness). </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Watch the breath, observe the mantra, feel the oneness of soul and body. Concentrate on it for at least ten minutes. The feeling of So-Ham will become stronger (I am Thou) for end the practice slowly remove the awareness from “So-Ham” mantra and observe the outer environment. Move the fingers and toes, hands, legs and neck slowly. Rub the palm and keep on the eyes. Open the eyes slowly.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">After practice sit quietly for a moment and feel the change in your mood, in your behavior in your thought process........<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12277717589920846114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730993930057311593.post-70561506444551560172010-11-30T21:37:00.000-08:002014-11-27T21:30:53.708-08:00Self Management Process<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Managing the self is not so easy, therefore it needs lot of practice. One can start managing the self through health consciousness. If the physical body is fit he can manage the inner self. Just watch how do you feel today........? If the body functioning is well one can think beyond it. otherwise the body becomes the obstacle in the path of self upliftment.<br />
Be conscious of your body weight, according to your height. Be conscious of your Pulse-rate, Heart bit, Respiration -rate, Blood pressure and other normal parameters through the general physical health check-up. Just watch there is no pain in the joints, there is no fatigue in the body......<br />
If you are lacking somewhere this is the right time to manage your physical self through Yogic practices like Asana, Pranayama, Shatkarma etc...<br />
If you are totally fit you should now watch your mental health.........<br />
The stress level, the anxiety level, the concentration level, the memory level and so on.........<br />
If you feel lacking on these point this is the time to practice Yogic Techniques again.<br />
This all come under self Management</div>
