THROAT ENERGY CENTRE (VISHUDH CHAKRA)

 

Its Sanskrit name is Vishudh i.e. harmony with others, self-knowledge, creativity, the power of choice, communication and self expression. Vishudh Chakra is also called Throat Chakra. Its physical counterparts are thyroid gland (one) located in the anterior throat, parathyroid glands (four) located on the dorsal aspect of the thyroid gland. Its location is centrally at base of neck, throat, ears, nose, teeth, and mouth. Its associated body parts are throat, ears, nose, teeth, tonsils, voice-box, food-pipe, tongue, mouth and neck. Their glandular connections are thyroid, parathyroid.

Its symbol is a blue shaded lotus with sixteen petals. The lotus flower contains 16 petals and a downwards pointing triangle and a circle representing the moon. In it, lapis lazuli crystal is embedded for its properties in relating to spirit guardians. The frequency of vibration of this Chakra is 16 per second. Its main elements are air and space. Its colour is bright blue. Its ruling planet is Mercury. Its constituents are ether and sound. Its crystals blue stones are turquoise, lapis lazuli, aquamarine, agate & sapphire. Its associated metal is mercury. Itstrait (guna) is rajas and its incenses are chamomile and myrrh. No poison may cause any harm to the body.

This Chakra allows one to deeply connect to one’s soul and allows one to listen to one’s soul speaks. It is here that one can use one’s voice to make sound. This Chakra is also connected to creativity through speech, music & art. It is about expression of the self. When one’s mind is clear, much comes easily with little effort as one is not struggling against life itself. It helps to balance the throat, teaches power of the spoken word and harmonises conflict. It is also good for self-expression and truth. It is a good thought amplifier of the higher mind creating objectivity and creativity. It uplifts human qualities like affection, love, high-thinking, concentration, self-control, unselfishness, balanced-temperament, purity of mind and heart. Its inner state is synthesis of ideas into symbols and outer manifestation is vibration. When open and balanced, one is able to accept things, as they are, and organise ways of working with situations. One is able to make changes and to assume responsibility for one’s personal needs.

Thyroid follicles store colloid containing thymoglobulin, a glycoprotein from which thyroid hormone is derived. Thyroid hormone (TH) includes thyroxin (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3), which is concerned with the body’s heat, increase the rate of cellular metabolism. Consequently, oxygen use and heat production rise.

The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH), which causes an increase in blood calcium levels by targeting bone, the intestine and the kidneys. PTH release is triggered by falling blood calcium levels and is inhibited by rising blood calcium levels. Hyper-parathyroidism results in hyper-calcaemia and all its effects and in extreme bone wasting. Hypo-parathyroidism leads to hypo-calcaemia, evidenced by tetany and respiratory paralysis. These hormones are necessary for mental and physical development. It controls lungs and heart. It also controls temperature regulation, governs energy production through the control of calcium. A person becomes too talkative, ungrateful and mentally unsteady when the thyroid is deranged. Its under-working leads to rickets, convulsion, teeth problems, twisting of muscle, fatness and dullness. Its over-working leads to over-growth, goitre and stone in kidneys etc. Its emotional dysfunctions are perfectionism, inability to express emotions and blocked creativity. Its physical dysfunctions are sore throats, neck ache, thyroid problems, hearing problems and asthma.

Some people anoint lavender, lilies, magnolia, narcissus and violet on throat chakra with a single drop for accessing oracular wisdom, more advanced dream work, out of body travel and 'clairaudience' or psychic hearing in which one hears voices from other dimensions.

BROW ENERGY CENTRE (AAGGYA CHAKRA)

 

Its Sanskrit name is Ajna i.e. to perceive — Ability to "see" other than the eyes, emotional intelligence, intuition, wisdom (sixth sense). Aaggya Chakra is also called third eye or brow chakra. Its counterpart is pituitary gland (one). This chakra is situated slightly above and between the eyebrows. Associated body parts are hypothalamus (A.N.S.), left eye, ears and nose, base of skull.

Its symbol is an indigo shaded lotus with two petals. This lotus flower has two petals which represent eyes of the meeting serpent of energy, which is around a circle containing a downward triangle. In the circle, a cosmic energy is depicted. Amethyst and Azurite are embedded in it. Azurite guides psychic and intuitive development. It cleanses and stimulates the third eye and it is great for meditation and channelling. Amethyst is used as a powerful healing stone and adds protection while meditating on the third eye. In addition to it, Amethyst is great for spiritual vibration.

 The frequency of vibration of this Chakra is 96 per second. Its main element is also space. Its essential form is image. Its incenses are velvet hyacinth and rose-geranium. Its colour is indigo. Its ruling planets are Neptune & Jupiter. Its basic is light telepathic energy. Its crystals are purple stones, amethyst, azurite, calcite, sapphire, fluorite and lapis lazuli. Its associated metal is silver. Its trait (guna) is Satwa. This Chakra has the ability to see other than the eyes. It is the centre of divine wisdom and intuition (sixth sense). This Chakra is the seat of the soul and it acts like a gateway to knowledge and expanded consciousness. It is here where the Ida and Pingala, the spiralling life's currents meet. Everything has a positive and a negative and it is the resting place between the two. Stillness and bliss known as Sushumna is found herein. It is here movement stops and the energy flows towards the sacred light of the divine as we rest here in this inner space. It is a time of great healing where our negative thoughts can be cleared from past, present and future. We can arise from limitations and ascend towards liberation.

It is the centre of the highest spiritual knowledge. The practitioner undergoes a fine experience and the bliss of spiritual world. He becomes able to make out what others have in mind i.e. he can read minds. He can also foretell and visualise past events like a movie. Its glandular connection is pituitary. The pituitary gland hangs from the base of the brain by a stalk and is enclosed by bone. It consists of a hormone-producing glandular portion (anterior pituitary) and a neural portion (posterior pituitary), which is an extension of the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus regulates the hormonal output of the anterior pituitary and synthesizes two hormones that it exports to the posterior pituitary for storage and later release. Four of the six adenohypophyseal hormones are tropic hormones that regulate the function of other endocrine organs. Most anterior pituitary hormones exhibit a diurnal rhythm of release, which is subject to modification by stimuli influencing the hypothalamus.

The pituitary gland produces hormones like TSH which controls the thyroid, ACTH which controls the adrenals, LH and FSH which ensures growth of body. It also controls the growth of body, brain power and memory. Its malfunctioning leads to dwarfish or giant body, bullying and mental-retardation. Due to its insufficient working, children tend to become mean, heartless, mischievous, bullies, liars and disobedient. When it is open and balanced, the bearer has a healthy sense of an ego or separate-self and may also have clairvoyant faculties. Its emotional dysfunctions are nightmares, learning difficulties, hallucinations and physical dysfunctions are headaches, poor vision, neurological disturbances and glaucoma. Somatotropic hormone or Growth hormone (GH) is an anabolic hormone that stimulates growth of all body tissues but especially skeletal muscle and bone. It may act directly or indirectly via insulin-like growth factors (IGFs). GH mobilizes fats, stimulates protein synthesis, and inhibits glucose uptake and metabolism. Secretion is regulated by growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH) or somatostatin. Hyper secretion causes gigantism in children. Hypo secretion in children causes pituitary dwarfism.

Some people anoint papyrus flower, lemon balm, sandalwood, juniper and thyme above and between eyebrows on brow chakra diluting juniper well in olive or almond oil for accessing knowledge from universal memory through meditation, divination or clairvoyance or psychic seeing. It is not used for anointing during pregnancy.

Its Sanskrit name is Sahastrar i.e. thousand fold- expanded consciousness, selflessness and spirituality. Sahastrar Chakra is also called crown chakra. Its physical counterpart is pineal gland (one). The crown chakra lies at the top of the head, upper skull. Its associated body parts are upper skull, cerebral cortex, skin, pineal gland, cerebrum and right eye. Its symbol is a purple or golden shaded lotus with one thousand petals. The constituent for this chakra is thought and cosmic energy, its meaning is thousand fold. Hence, the lotus flower petals are a thousand. The crystals that are embedded into it are clear quartz and amethyst. Clear quartz is the most powerful healer and energy amplifier on the planet. Quartz is a master healer and can be used for any condition. Amethyst for its potent safeguard when working high spiritual vibration is love energy.

The frequency of vibration of this Chakra is 960 per second. Its main element is space. Its incenses are lavender, rosewood and frankincense. Its ruling planet is Uranus. It manifests information. Its colour is violet to white. Its crystals are white gold, violet stones, clear quartz, amethyst, diamond, white jade and white tourmaline. Its associated metal is gold. Its trait (guna) is satwa.

It is the centre of the highest spiritual force. The practitioner undergoes the highest degree of transformation in character, outlook and personality. He attains supreme super natural powers. A new awakening (knowledge) emerges out and the meaning of life changes absolutely. He acquires a great wisdom, tenderness of heart and a strong will-power. He is not affected by physical sufferings.

It is home to our pure spirit, this is where a person becomes one with the divine. As one goes through the darkest times, and tragic things happen, and when one has been disillusioned by material gains, one searches for something to answer one’s calls, this is when one starts to look within for the answers one seeks. When that inner peace is found, one becomes whole again.

Its glandular connection is pineal. The pineal gland is located at the top of head. Its primary hormone is melatonin, which influences daily rhythms. It releases the hormones concerned with intuitive and extra-sensory powers. It manages, organises, regulates and controls the functions of all other endocrine glands. It regulates water balance; it controls sex desire. It stimulates growth of nerves. The effect of malfunctioning leads to a premature sex development, sex delinquency, increase in water content and the high blood pressure. It controls the proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid and thus keeps the body strong and healthy. Apart from it, it controls the level of potassium and sodium balance in the body. Its emotional dysfunctions are depression, obsessional thinking and confusion. Its physical dysfunctions are sensitivity to pollution, chronic exhaustion and epilepsy.

Some people make use of lotus if possible or frankincense in which case other fragrances like chrysanthemum or amber camomile are used for the crown chakra though not through pregnancy for accessing star magic such as mystical experiences and direct channelling.

CHAKRAS (CENTRES OF ENERGY)

 

{	Sahastrar Chakra
z	Aaggya Chakra
y	Vishudh Chakra
x	Anahat Chakra
w	Manipur Chakra
v	Swadhisthana Chakra
u	Mooladhara Chakra

The Chakras are the centres of spiritual and physical powers. All the chakras continually vibrate. Manipur Chakra and other chakras located below it have slow but strong movement while Anahat Chakra and the chakras above it have very swift motion. The Anahat Chakra establishes coordination among the Chakras below and above it. The Chakras located above Anahat Chakra are called space elements and those below it are called earth elements. Both of them are two different types of powers which meet at Anahat Chakra. Every Chakra has its own importance. However, all the Chakras are inter-related and inter-dependent. Any disturbance in one leads to a considerable disturbance in the functions of all other Chakras. By and large all the Chakras perform their physical functions naturally. But their spiritual powers remain dormant until awakened with the help of meditation.

This process of awakening latent spiritual powers is very fine, hard and time consuming. It demands a high level of self-control. There are 48 perpetually vibrating Chakras in our body. Of these, 7 are major Chakras namely Sahastrar Chakra, Aaggya Chakra, Vishudh Chakra, Anahat Chakra, Manipur Chakra, Swadhisthana Chakra and Mooladhara Chakra, 21 are minor Chakras and 20 are mini chakras.

Generally, Chakras may be awakened in any one of three ways: 1. By instinct: natural awakening at the time of birth. Meditation was an inborn trait in case of Guru Nanak Dev of India, Nostradamus of France, Rasputin of Russia and many others. Only a few people out of millions possess inborn skill of meditation; 2. By practice: awakening through exercise of meditation and 3. By pass-process: transmission of spiritual powers from one person to another.

The counterparts of these Chakras are respective endocrine glands. Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The main endocrine glands include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland and parathyroid glands, thymus gland, pancreas, gonads (ovaries/testes) and adrenal glands. The hypothalamus is a neuro-endocrine organ. Other organs which are not so well known for their endocrine activity include the stomach, which produces such hormones as ghrelin. Endocrine organs are activated to release their hormones by humoral, neural or hormonal stimuli. Endocrine glands derive from all three germ layers. Those derived from mesoderm produce steroidal hormones; the others produce the amino–acid based hormones. The efficiency of all endocrine glands seems to decrease gradually as aging occurs.

THE HEIGHT OF DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS

 

Samadhi is natural state of equipoise. Samadhi is the ultimate aim of yoga. When, while sitting in meditation, you become unconscious of yourself and the act of meditation itself, that state is called Samadhi.

Samadhi is a divine state of consciousness. Samadhi means "to bring together to merge". Once Dharana has occurred, meditation and Samadhi may follow. It has been explained as a non-dualistic state of consciousness in which the perception of the experiencing subject becomes one with the experienced object and in which the mind becomes still, one-pointed or concentrated while the person remains wide awake. Hence, Samadhi is union with the Divine. It refers to an abiding in which mind becomes very still but does not merge with the object of attention and is, thus, able to watch and gain insight into the changing flow of experience. The final step in the eight-fold path of yoga is the attainment of Samadhi.

In the condition of Samadhi, the body and senses are at peace as if asleep yet the ability of mind and reasons are attentive as if awake. One goes beyond consciousness. During Samadhi, we understand what it is to be an identity without differences and how an enlightened soul can enjoy pure awareness of this pure identity. The conscious mind drops back into that unconsciousness from which it first emerged. There is an end to the separation that is formed by the "I" and "mine" of our misleading perceptions of reality. The mind does not differentiate between self and non-self or between the object contemplated and the process of contemplation. The mind and the intellect have come to a close and there is just the experience of consciousness, reality, unimaginable and unexplainable ecstasy.

The attainment of Samadhi is a hard task. Entering Samadhi primarily takes great determination and maintaining it takes even more will. The opening stages of Samadhi (laya and Savikalpa Samadhi) are only provisional. Normal levels of meditation can be held involuntarily, as in "being in the state of meditation" rather than obviously "meditating". The ability to obtain positive results from meditation is much easier said than done. Samadhi is the only stable reality. All else is ever-changing and does not bring eternal peace or contentment.

Among the minor Samadhis, Savikalpa Samadhi turns out to be the uppermost. Ahead of savikalpa comes Nirvikalpa Samadhi, but there is a great gap between these two. They are two drastically different Samadhis. Again, there is something even beyond Nirvikalpa Samadhi called Sahaja Samadhi. Savikalpa is a crossing point of trans-meditation and higher awareness state — Asamprajñata. The state is so named because mind preserves its consciousness that is why in Savikalpa Samadhi one can experience guessing, thought, bliss and self-awareness. In Savikalpa Samadhi, for a short period of time you misplace all human consciousness. In this form, the conception of time and space is on the whole poles apart. For an hour or two hours, you are fully in another world. When you are in Savikalpa Samadhi, you see that almost everything is done; you have nothing to do. In Savikalpa Samadhi, there are thoughts and ideas coming from different places but they do not influence you. While you are meditating, you remain composed and your inner being functions in a dynamic and confident way. From Savikalpa Samadhi, everyone has to revisit to ordinary consciousness. Even in Savikalpa Samadhi, there are grades. Some aspirants reach the highest grade while less aspiring seekers reach a lower step of the ladder where everything is not as lucid and dramatic as on the highest level. Asamprajñata is a step forward from Savikalpa. According to Patañjali, Asamprajñata is higher awareness position with non-existence of gross awareness.

Nirvikalpa or Sanjeevan is the highest uplifting state of consciousness. Nirvikalpa Samadhi is the highest Samadhi. It lasts for a few hours or a few days and then one has to come down. Very often, one fails to remember his own name and age. One cannot speak or think accurately. But through continued practice, one becomes able to come down progressively from Nirvikalpa Samadhi and directly function in a normal manner. In this state, there is no longer mind, duality, a subject-object attachment or experience. Upon entering Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the discrepancies we saw before have faded and we can see everything as one. In this state, only pure awareness remains and nothing detracts from comprehensiveness and perfection. When you are a little higher, when you have turned out to be one with the soul in Nirvikalpa Samadhi, there will be no ideas or thoughts at all. The realization of Nirvikalpa Samadhi can never be satisfactorily expressed. In Nirvikalpa Samadhi, there is no mind; there is only immeasurable peace and bliss. In Nirvikalpa Samadhi, there is unlimited bliss. When you enter into Nirvikalpa Samadhi, still, you not only be aware of bliss, but essentially grow into that bliss. There you enjoy an utterly divine all-pervading ecstasy. When you are in Nirvikalpa Samadhi, you see the universe as a tiny dot in the interior of your huge mind. Staying in Nirvikalpa Samadhi is natural but even from this condition one must ultimately return to ego-consciousness. Or else this highest level of Samadhi leads to Nirvana, which means total unity, the logical end of individual identity and also death of the body. Usually, when one enters into Nirvikalpa Samadhi, one does not want to rush back into the world again. If one stays there for eighteen or twenty-one days, there is every chance that the soul will go away from the body forever. One cannot function in the world while in that condition of consciousness; it is simply not possible. But there is a divine privilege. If the Supreme wants a particular soul to work here on earth, even after twenty-one or twenty-two days, the Supreme can take that human into another channel of lively divine consciousness and have him revisit to the earth-plane to be active.

It is exclusively feasible to stay in Nirvikalpa Samadhi and yet be completely functional in this world. This state is known as Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi or Sahaja Samadhi. Sahaja Samadhi is by far the highest kind of Samadhi. In this Samadhi, one is in the uppermost consciousness but, at the same time, one is capable to work in the gross physical world. One upholds the experience of Nirvikalpa Samadhi while at the same time entering into worldly actions. One has become the soul and, at the same time, is utilising the body as an ideal tool. In Sahaja Samadhi, one does the customary things that a common human being does. But in the intimate recesses of the heart, one is surcharged with divine enlightenment. When one has this Sahaja Samadhi, one becomes the master of truth. One can go to the highest and then come down to the earth-consciousness to manifest at his sweet will. Even after achieving the highest form of consciousness, anyone is rarely blessed with Sahaja Samadhi. For Sahaja Samadhi, the Supreme's immeasurable grace is necessary. Sahaja Samadhi comes only when one has recognized indivisible oneness with the Supreme.

EFFECT OF DIET IN MEDITATION

 

Human body is made of three humours namely Vatt (Air), Kaph (Phlegm) And Pitta (Bile) which are determinant of person’s mental and physical qualities. Usually, only one type of humours dominates. Therefore, one’s diet should be planned keeping one’s respective humour in view otherwise one has to suffer with physical as well as mental health problems. Be choosy and disciplined as far as health is concerned. For Vatt humour, the indifferent things like cereal and oily food are suitable. For Pitta humour, things having cooling temperament are suitable while for Kaph humour, things having heating temperament are fit for consumption.

Do not follow the rule ‘Eat what you get’. Be conscious of your intake. Take food only when your body makes a demand for it. Take meal in time and do not stuff food. The condition of our mind and our life-style are directly influenced with our intake. Our intake modifies the inner climate of mind. The favourable condition for controlling the mind may be moulded with a well thought-out intake of food. As a matter of experience, the practice of meditation just after taking meal is not feasible because digestive system hinders in concentration.

A nutrient, well-balanced, vegetarian and simple diet is called Satwik diet. Satwik diet is fit for meditation because it lets one undergo peace and concentration. A non-vegetarian, fried and spicy diet and highly processed diet is called Tamasik diet. Tamasik diet causes laziness. A mix of both satwik and tamasik diet as well as junk food and fast food is called Rajasik diet. Rajasik diet causes nervousness and a fall in concentration. Although human-being is omnivorous yet a Satwik diet should be preferred as a routine for the purification and the elevation of positive qualities.

Annamaya kosha, the physical body visible to us, is made of the food that we consume. Positive and negative properties of sun energy exist in all types of natural foods and drinks in varying degrees which our body requires in different proportions. Keep yourself away from preserved, high sugar and fatty foods the quality of which becomes low due to high processing. You should take a nutrient, well balanced and fresh diet containing green leafy vegetables, fruit, just cooked vegetables, plenty of salads, sprout and roots rich with high protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and fibre etc. As a rule, an ideal ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fats should normally be 100 gram: 400 gram: 100 gram.

Like meditation, the mental balance may also be discovered through food. Avoid intoxicants. Do you notice any person, who is drunk, practising meditation? A person, in case of intoxicant state, is in a darkened state of mind in which meditation is not easily possible. Food items that cause harm to body are also injurious to the mental state. Abstain from those things which are unfit for both mind and body.

In case of empty stomach, no meditation is possible. Mind works well when you are well satisfied with sufficient food. Hunger creates physical and mental disorders and deficiencies. As body becomes weak in case of less, imbalanced and deficient intake, so happens with the mind. As a rule, avoid the practice of both overeating and undereating.  

A good meal is different for different categories of people. A good meal is that, after consumption of which, you feel healthy, you sleep well and your digestive system is in order. More quantity of food is needed in case of men, growing children, people doing hard physical work and pregnant women in comparison to women, people doing mental work, old people and people suffering from illness. However, the quality of food must be high and it cannot be compromised what come may.

MEDITATION AND HUMAN ENVIRONMENT

 

When a person starts feeling sense of uprooting and dissatisfaction and the person gradually loses the sense of meaningfulness in life, he should secure a little time for himself to lead himself to the right direction in which he could feel a strange bliss of solitude for realization of his existence in the world. Mental health is helpful for the realization of the goals of the life which may be different for every person on account of different life-styles and the philosophies of life. The company of the holy, which makes the thoughts positive, creates a favourable inner climate whereas the evil company, which introduces low quality thoughts, causes unwanted protest in the mind resulting into diversion of the mind from its real motive.

Meditation is one of the effective techniques for attaining inner peace, contentment and stability of mind by opening the mind to new ideas and improving the resourcefulness. The environment for performing meditation should also be peaceful and the factors causing interference and disruption should be prevented in advance.

A favourable environment, which exerts a positive influence on our mind, must be created around us with a hard and methodical work by making a systematic and disciplined struggle and by limiting our desires. The common conditions of mind are scattered, darkened, gathered, one-pointed and concentrated. Normally, it manifests itself in darkened and scattered conditions which are negative conditions of mind. As soon as we make an unstable mind pure by bringing its confused state under control, full trust in the Divine replaces suspicion and instability.

Passions, which keep a person disturbed, result from the weak will-power, absence of self-confidence, indiscipline, any disease, any disorder in the endocrine glands or the lack of self-control. Passions considerably exert their influence on natural environment of the mind. The cause exists in the external environment whereas its effect may be felt in the internal environment of the mind. In search of peace, people look for isolated places where there is no disturbance of any kind in order to practise solitude. However, the peace of mind remains miles away from them due to collective forces of these passions. As long as scattered and darkened state of mind exists, nothing serves the purpose. All our efforts should be directed towards one-pointed state of mind. It can be done in any atmosphere if a person has devotion and a strong will power.

A person who has tamasa type of life-style leads a low quality of life by deterioration of the mind, the body and the intellect. A person who has rajasa type of life-style leads a luxurious life by ambition to possess and become important. A person who has satwa type of life-style leads a high quality of spiritual life by upliftment of the mind, the body and the intellect. Each type of these human life-styles interacts in absolutely different environment and manipulates the surroundings in a unique manner. A pyramid has capacity to produce stability and reawaken the dormant strength of a person by playing an important role in developing physical, mental and intellectual competences.

Everything in the universe including our thoughts and consciousness seems to be just a vibration. Aura, an electro-photonic vibration response of an object to some external excitation, contains information about the object. Aura around living objects changes with time in comparison to aura around non-living object which is basically fixed but changeable by our conscious intention. The practice of meditation along with satwik life style makes the aura healthy. Positive vibrations, which emits from the mind and body of the practitioner, also make the aura of non-living objects around him positive. Consequently, his surrounding becomes charming and a pleasant affair.

SELF-HEALING IN MEDITATION

 

Our body has a natural tendency to heal. Since we are part of nature, we get a natural healing touch of God. Usually in most critical moments, we remember God for a help. When all the methods and efforts to cure a disease fail, we naturally turn to God for a help and surprisingly a miracle takes place and healing process comes into force automatically and secretly. The practice of meditation in the treatment of a disease is to avail the favour of God.

When we seek the help of meditation for the treatment of a disease, primarily, we ought to have a will, moral strength, motivation and a target to be cured. When you prefer meditation for the treatment of a disease, you become your own Doctor. While making use of meditation, do not ignore any other traditional system of treatment if that is also in use. However, establish coordination in both the systems. Meditation neither causes any side-effect nor does it pose any hindrance in the way of any other system because all the medicines used in other systems are made with the natural elements. Therefore, meditation supplements and enhances the effect of other systems.

Relax whole body especially the effected body part. Have deep, consistent breathing. Keep the effected body parts relaxing with a faith that you are being healed with the grace of God while the disease in question is vanishing like a puff of smoke. As you relax, the process of deep breathing naturally takes place. Thus the strength of blood cells boosts up with an increased supply of fresh oxygen. Consequently, immunity system works efficiently. Repeat this process a number of times daily until you are fully cured. What is more, it should be practised after immunity to and fro so as not to let the disease reoccur. When this practice is performed while performing pranayama, pratyahara and asana, its influence multiplies a number of times.

Outcomes of meditation are sometimes quick while many a times it is time consuming due to improper techniques and lack of trust. In fact, readiness of mind, our purpose to use the meditation, perfection of technique and devotion works. Most of the time, meditation has done the job, but we do not come to realize the fact or we do not easily believe. Diseases may be divided into two classes i.e. diseases caused due to internal factors such as disturbances in the natural make up and working of mind or body etc. and the external factors such as attack of germ like bacterial infection, virus attack etc. In case of internal factors, meditation can be fully depended upon for immunity. However in case of external factors, the sufferer should look for a traditional system of treatment along with meditation as a supplementary aid. In such a case, meditation strengthens natural immunity system by injecting sufficient Universal life force into the white cells of the blood which, in turn, fight well with the germs in order to restore overall health.

Do not follow the so-called health tips blindly being propagated these days. They do not have universal applicability. The needs, environment and physical and mental conditions of every person are different. So are the health tips. Let no stone unturned as far as health and hygiene are concerned. Keep the clothes, surrounding, mind and body clean as much as possible. Ensure supply of clean water and pure air containing sufficient oxygen.

All the edible and potable things can be divided into three groups according to their effect namely things having cooling temperament, things having heating temperament and the indifferent things.  In case of a disease, body demands only one type of groups of edible or potable things. Therefore, you must observe what is fit for your health needs under certain circumstances and accordingly you should respond to the expectation of Nature.
