People are panicking; schools are closed, highways are closed, towns are closed, and everyone is forced to stay at home with their families. As a result, we are at a critical juncture. I was just reading the Charaka Samhita, and there's a chapter there named "Janapada Dvamsa Vyadhi," which means "world-wide epidemics." There, Charaka says that being at home is a wonderful opportunity. This is a time for us to stay inside our dinacharya [daily routine]. Clean your teeth, scrape your lips, rinse your mouth, and drink hot or ice water first thing in the morning. Tea with ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom, or standard tulsi chai (holy basil, one or two leaves) [Here Vasant Lad quotes a sutra:  rogāhāsaravepimandegnam sutarambhuterānitu ] [This sutra states:] As long as our agni (digestive fire) is solid, we will be free of illne

Intermittent Fasting  Intermittent fasting is a new name. What we have known by experience in the Yogic sciences, today modern science also is coming in-line with it. Your body and your brain work at their best only when your stomach is empty. We always make sure that we eat in such a way that however much we eat, our stomach must always be empty within two to two-and-a-half hours’ time. For any correction and purification that needs to happen in the body, your stomach needs to be empty. This is very important. Otherwise, the purification on the cellular level will not happen. You will pile up things and then you will get all kinds of problems. The first thing is that the inertia in your body will increase. There are many levels of inertia, but one thing you can notice is sleep. The amount of sleep that you need is inertia.  Your body and your brain work at their best only when your stomach is empty. All American doctors say that you must sleep for a minimum of seven to eight hou

The life we have is the best one, all we need is to work to bring out it's the best version. We all are given with the capabilities to deal with the hurdles we go through our path, what we have to do is to recognize them without underestimating ourselves.  Remember one thing when we say we can't , we underestimate our own strength. When life gives you punch, stand again and fight back, after all, it's all about the next step. We go through  different of riddles(issues) in our life on a daily basis and that's how life is, a lesson with a number of headings. In thestead of panicking at  any particular topic, we should stay calm and solve the riddles with focus and with a healthy mind. There is nothing in our life which is not supposed to be in, everything is a part and has its own significance. Relatively if we see things then they all connect with our life somewhere anyhow  or somehow. The life we have is a blessing don't refer it as a curse just because o

A single positive thought in the morning can change your whole day. Right now wherever you are there are millions of smells around you and your body registers all of them. Before moving on to subconscious mind lets first know what is conscious mind "The things which you do knowingly are regarded as a work done by the conscious mind".
