Healing illnesses through mind power

In today’s times most of us are facing stress, tension, fears, phobias and diseases.

Everyone wants to know the different ways of healing diseases. But can this be achieved? Yes, it can be achieved.
Our mind, specially the subconscious mind, is a miraculous tool. And we must understand that any disturbance in the mind causes disturbance in the body. So you have understand the mind in order to use the mind to heal illnesses.

Rules you need to follow to heal any illness

Stop talking about your illness.

Don’t gossip with friends, relatives about your illness as when you do that you are stopping yourself from becoming healthy

Stop thinking about your illness

Think, talk, and pretend that you are healthy.

Before visiting a doctor, sit in silence and ask yourself what is it that you need to know, what your illness is teaching you. Our body is constantly talking to us. We just need to listen to it. Whenever anyone is not well, he/she says, "I am not well".

Now when you say I am not well it means it is me who is not well, which results in showing up on your body in the form of illnesses. The root cause of all illnesses is the mind. Our mind has its own language. Our mind can understand through power of words and images. So you need to speak health, think health, feel heath, through affirmations. Affirmations are positive therapeutic commandments (PTC) to programme your mind. For eg: 1) I am healthy 2) I have very high energy level. 3) I realise the need of this condition (illness) 4) I am at peace 5) I forgive everyone.

Meditation should be done for 20 mins morning/evening. By practicing mediation everyday you are actually increasing power of the mind. Research has proved how meditation is beneficial in lowering down your blood pressure, stress, tension and any other illness.

Here’s how simple meditation should be done

Sit comfortably, loosen your body, with complete back rest, not at all a erect spine.

Close your eyes, clasp your fingers, put it on your lap or as you are comfortable.

Chant the word 'shanti' to yourself in your mind.

Count 20-1 backwards very slowly in your mind

Now focus on your breath, let the thoughts come and go.

Don’t try to push thoughts away (many people do that, don’t do that)

Let it come and go, you come back to breathe

Sit for 20 mins, then slowly open your eyes.

Note: Switch off your mobile, door bell, lights before starting meditation. Follow the above steps faithfully, and say in your mind, "I am taking responsibility of my health, I am going to heal myself with the power of my mind." Say this 10 times in your mind and see how your life will start changing miraculously.

Mother's diet linked to baby's sex

पेरिस:Oysters may excite the libido, but there is nothing like a hearty breakfast laced with sugar to boost a woman's chances of conceiving a son, according to a study released on Wednesday.

Likewise, a low-energy diet that skimps on calories, minerals and nutrients is more likely to yield a female of the human species, says the study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, Britain's de facto academy of sciences.

Fiona Mathews of the University of Exeter in Britain and colleagues wanted to find out if a woman's diet has an impact on the sex of her offspring.

So they asked 740 first-time mothers who did not know if their unborn foetuses were male or female to provide detailed records of eating habits before and after they became pregnant.

The women were split into three groups according to the number calories they consumed per day around the time of conception.

Fifty-six per cent of the women in the group with the highest energy intake had sons, compared to 45 per cent in the least-well fed cohort.

Besides racking up a higher calorie count, the group who produced more males were also more likely to have eaten a wider range of nutrients, including potassium, calcium and vitamins C, E and B12.

The odds of an XY, or male outcome to a pregnancy also went up sharply "for women who consumed at least one bowl of breakfast cereal daily compared with those who ate less than or equal to one bowl of week," the study reported.

These surprising findings are consistent with a very gradual shift in favour of girls over the last four decades in the sex ratio of newborns, according to the researchers.

Previous research has shown -- despite the rising epidemic in obesity -- a reduction in the average energy uptake in advanced economies. The number of adults who skip breakfast has also increased substantially.

"This research may help to explain why in developed countries, where many young women choose low calorie diets, the proportion of boys is falling," Mathews said.

The study's findings, she added, could point to a "natural mechanism" for gender selection.

The link between a rich diet and male children may have an evolutionary explanation.

For most species, the number of offspring a male can father exceeds the number a female can give birth to. But only if conditions are favourable -- poor quality male specimens may fail to breed at all, whereas females reproduce more consistently.

"If a mother has plentiful resources, then it can make sense to invest in producing a son because he is likely to produce more grandchildren than would a daughter," thus contributing to the survival of the species, explains Mathews.

"However, in leaner times having a daughter is a safer bet." While the mechanism is not yet understood, it is known from in vitro fertilisation research that higher levels of glucose, or sugar, encourage the growth and development of male embryos while inhibiting female embryos.

Glory of RUDRAM

Rudram is treated as the celebrated portion of Yajurveda with the sacred Sivapanchakshari mantram (Namasivaya) enshrined within it. It has got two portions called Namakkam and Chamakkam each containing eleven chapters or Anuvakams. Most of the chapters in the first portion end with the letter namaha or namo namaha while the ending letter of the second portion is “cha me”

It is firmly believed that every deity is pleased with Rudra japam, also that by chanting it whatever be the genuine prayers of one the same will be granted. Rudra japa is spoken of as a great purifier and the most effective expiation (pariharam) for even the worst sins. In summary Rudra japam is the best sadhana for attaining both material and spiritual benefits from Almighty.

Method of Rudra japam:

Rupam: Chanting Namakkam once followed by chanting Chamakkam is called Rupam.

Rudra Ekadasini: First the eleven Anuvakas of Namakkam, followed by the first Anuvakam of Chamakkam are chanted. Next again the eleven Anuvakams of Namakkam with second Anuvakam of Chamakkam will be chanted. Like this for 11 full chantings of Namakkam one full chanting of Chamakkam is completed. This is called Rudra ekadasini.

Laghu Rudram & Maharudram: If in the above method eleven Rudra ekadasinis are repeated it is called Laghu rudram. Eleven Laghu rudrams is one Maharudram.

Athirudram: Athirudram the biggest of all Rudra japam is eleven times of Maharudram i.e in the Athirudrabhiskekam going to be conducted now, ultimately 14641 times Namakkam and 1331 chamakkams will be chanted totally along with abhishekam. Moreover on the last day in the final Rudra homam again 10% of this i.e. 1465 Namakkam and 134 times Chamakkam will be chanted and in this way the whole yagna is going to be a real great performance.

The Shata Rudriya forms a part of the Yajurveda.It is extolled as the death defying hymn to the Diety Rudra .This deity is a Vedic Deity and as much symbolizes nature as it symbolizes the Godhead contained within it.

Having said this it also signifies the Almighty who bestows breath and takes away life.It symbolises the indivisible Tattwa which runs through Life,Death and the Afterlife.
