Milk: The Amrit on Earth!

Dear friends,

When a friend told me about his sorrow that his 6 months old son could not see and the optic nerve had not developed.

This set me thinking and next day I asked him whether the child had been getting mother’s milk.

He told me that mother’s milk had stopped within a few days and the Doctor at his place, Durgapur, advised to switch to Lactogen.

This seems to have been a grave mistake.

 Milk, especially mother’s, is not just a health supplement or a food.

As per the latest researches Milk is a highly specialized, complex nutrient system developed by mammalian evolution to promote postnatal growth. In contrast to feeding artificial infant formula, only human milk allows appropriate metabolic programming and protects against diseases of civilization in later life.

Also the mother’s milk serves as a genetic transfection system or in other words a genetic supplement also as being found out by researches

(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3725179/#B1 )

 

Mother’s milk by itself is the complete growth and development package for the infant. No artificial supplement(s) can even dream to come close.

 For adults also the milk is the best health supplement for vitamins, minerals, amino acids etc. Also a good source of Oxytocin.

In old days our ancestors could not get fortified health drink or access to medical facility yet Milk was good source of good health for them.

However milk should be taken at room temperature or cold as hot milk is less amenable to digestion.

In case of lactating mothers their nutrition is also paramount and should be taken well care of.

Unfortunately, Good quality milk availability is an issue. Even Packets and tetra packs fall short in quality. If we can get good milk from any dairy we should take it any cost.

Life is a Fugu Fish!

Life is like a Fugu fish!

Living the life is much like eating the Fugu fish.

The Fugu fish is most delicious yet very vey poisonous. The poison is said to be 1000 times deadlier than Cynide.

In Japan, chefs go through 2-3 years of apprenticeship and training to learn cooking of Fugu fish. They learn the location and technique of poisonous portions. Finally they go through a test and become a licenced Fugu Chef.

Similarly life has many hazards and is also full of deadly and painful poisons.

To survive the life happily one should know how to avoid partaking the poison and enjoy the delicious bits.

The poisonous parts are poor habits leading to ill physical and mental health, burdens of guilts, obsessions, grievances etc. The delicious parts are compassion, forgiveness, contentment, good health and reconciliation to oneself and the universe in general.

Enjoy the Fugu that life is ! Cheerio!
-Amit

Negativity?

Negativity?

We have heard about Negativity, negative energy, negative vibes etc. In fact, a lot is being said and sold to remove negativity.

Let's find out the source of positive and negative energies in our houses.

The source of positive vibes in my house is me .

The source of negative vibes in my house also is me.

What actually is Negative energy.

Technically, there is no Negative energy.

There only is 'Energy' , which is known as
•Pran in yog,
•Qi or Chi(China- Taoism and feng shui, tai chi),
•Ki (Japan-Reiki),
•Vitality, life principle, life force, vitality, dynamis, regulatory force, or vital energy, spirit in ancient and medieval  Europe,
•Life force in alchemy
and
•Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, called it the Vital Force.

• Ancient Egyptians called it Sekhem

• This energy is also known as “Mana” in Polynesia, “Ruach” in Hebrew,  "Pneuma" in ancient Greece, one usage of "Baraka"  in Sufism.

and there are
'High energy' and 'Low Energy' states of this energy.

The low vitality states are negative energy states.

Wherever we go, we affect our surroundings  and people with our energy level.

That is why with certain people or at some places we feel relaxed and happier and with certain people or places we feel depressed.

This is also why doctors advise to visit hill stations etc, where due to less population, energy levels are not depleted.

High Energy: Good health, high activity, optimism, good social life, success against all odds, high intelligence and fighting spirit

Low Energy: Poor health, sickness, depression, pessimism, withdrawal,  defeat,failures, confusion and surrender

Normally Body temperature is a direct indication of Energy level.

Low energy states are symptoms of impending serious health issues also.

How to restore High Energy state:
•Breath is the main source of energy. World over breathing techniques has been used for this purpose.
•good sleep,good diet and water, breathing exercises,
•Meditation or Prayer is wonderful, but both need a cler mind
•a flexible, forgiving approach, a positive mindset, less ego, less memory, less worry are great help
•light exercises, yog, pranayam also a good help.

Be the source of positivity for yourself, family, your surroundings and circle.

Attachment leads to possession, possession leads to discontent,
Discontent leads to crime.

Greatness of silence and subtlety!

The greatest wars are invisible, the greatest victories are silent.

The Way of The Tao!

No action can be as powerful as action,
Silence can be as powerful as a spoken words,
Non interfering can be as fruitful as interfering.

The Wise man realizes this and uses non action, non interfering and silence, as good as, action, speech and interfering, as the situation demands.
This is the way of Tao.

Forgiveness: the true elixir!

How many people have we forgiven lately. Routinely forgiving one and all is the true elixir for the mind.
This forgiveness practice gets rid of all accumulated negativity in form of grudges, grievances, complaints, that we gather against each persob we know from spouse, family, friends, neighbours, colleagues to even politicians etc.
This same negativity keeps us distracted, turbulent, impulsive, without peace, unhappy, awake at nights, diffident, pessimistic and also sick in many ways.

Forgiveness is panacea for all psychological problems such as stress, anger, bipolar, anxiety, panic and so on.

Those who haven't so far, let us start this practice today and do it lets us say fortnightly or so.

For best results plz also ensure 8 hrs sleep. Sleep is the medicine for a hundred diseases such as high bp, skin darkness, high uric acid, low immunity and so on.....
And lack of sleep a root of all these  above diseases!
