Celebrate Life with Yoga!
The practice of yoga expands your horizon and spurs you
on to positive thoughts. You are filled with feelings of
affection and compassion towards everyone and all your
confusion and doubts are cleared. Your face radiates
happiness as you develop integrity of mind. As you
continue to practise yoga, even adverse conditions fail to
perturb you. A yoga practitioner gradually accepts
inevitable actions, or the highs and lows that are part of his
destiny.
No wonder, yoga makes your entire life a celebration.
By Yogacharya Surakshit Goswami
Life is a celebration and should continue to be so for as long
as we live. With time, it should become even more
pleasurable. This ongoing celebration is not an external
phenomenon but an internal one. In fact, it is a state of mind
where everything appears blissful.
However, our fickle nature makes us act according to
whims and fancies. While flitting from one thought to the
next, the mind often becomes attached to unnecessary
things. One wonders if the mind is fickle because we are so
influenced by physical desires that our mind is always
wavering and is in turmoil. The mind appears happy so long
as things happen according to our desires. It becomes sad
and perturbed the moment life takes a sudden turn and if
our wishes are not fulfilled. It then alternates between sukh
and dukh.
Rise above materialism True happiness and peace does
not lie in material things. Happiness and peace will
continue to elude us if we remain unduly attached to
material things. This fact is even more important once we
realise that it is the state of our mind that controls our
physical health. A mind that wanders and causes tension
and despair leads to sickness and ill health in the body.
The question then arises: how does one understand the
mind? And how does one rein in the mind? The solution lies
in delving deep into the mind and establishing a
communion with the inner self. In the process, one
becomes an embodiment of love, compassion, equality
and bliss. This is the state of dhyaan or meditation. This is
the beginning of yoga.
Yoga fuels happiness According to Maharshi Patanjali the
basis of yoga lies in curbing certain traits of the mind,
like ego and attachment, in order to help individuals
break away from their worldly shackles. Maharshi
Patanjali calls this “yogaschittavrittanirodhaha”. Our mind
is constantly wandering - either in the past or in the
future - owing to a chain of thoughts or vrittis that cloud
the mind. These thoughts - influenced by the
environment we live in and arising because of certain
characteristics that we inherit - influence our responses
to the material world, giving rise to sanskaara, or traits.

How To Heal In Relationships
By NayaSwamis Jyotish and Devi
Our relationships can bring great joy or great suffering into
our lives. Either way, they can affect us on the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual levels.
However, we can learn to heal difficult relationships and
improve good ones by practicing some of these guidelines:
Listen: When communication becomes difficult, don't
shout or argue, but take the time to listen to what is
troubling the other person. Look behind their words to
understand their feelings and perspectives. Then let them
know that you've heard them.
Forgive and Forget: Don't hold on to past grievances, or
use angry words like, “You always…” Give both yourself and
your partner the space to change and improve. If we lock
people in a box of past behaviour, we block their potential
to develop. As someone put it humorously, “The secret to
our harmonious marriage is that we both have developed
poor memories.”
Live in Inner Freedom: Remember that no one belongs to
you, and you belong to no one. Enjoy your relationships
with a sense of non-attachment, so that your love is given
freely without demands, expectations or a sense of
ownership. Friendship is the foundation for all enduring
relationships.
See the similarities: Every soul is a unique creation, but to
build healthy relationships, focus on what on you have in
common. People, groups and nations have largely similar
needs and desires. Focusing on common ground
generates understanding and harmony.
Respect the differences: Respect the right of others to
have their own opinions and private space. Relationships
are much healthier when people feel respected, supported
and encouraged in their interests and enjoyments.
Change yourself first: As Gandhiji said, “We must be the
change we want to see in the world.” If there is disharmony
in your relationships, look honestly at your part in it, and
work to change your own attitudes or behaviour. Often,
what we criticise in others is merely a projection of what
we don't like in ourselves. If both partners can work at self-
correction, problems will begin to fade away. You can
prevent many difficulties if you communicate that you are
working on self-improvement and ask for support.
The real relationship is with God. Develop an inner
relationship with God that is meaningful for you. Feel that
God has come to you in the form of the people in your life.
See and appreciate their highest potential and express this
to them. Try also to feel God's impersonal love flowing from
you to them.
We are all God's children, and He loves us all
unconditionally. Be an open channel for God's love to
everyone you meet.

Work – A Confluence of Psychology,
Neuroscience & Spirituality
By Shantanu Nagarkatti
Work is the most important part of our lives. Our work
defines us. We are what we do. Yet, for most people, work is
merely a means to get what we want outside our work
hours, rather than a means of fulfillment in itself.
We need to define work, understand the psychological
dimensions of our worklife and understand how our
workplace can become an altar. Our work is a meditation
that connects us to that which is beyond boundaries and
limits
Work is the way we add value to the world, whether we are
economically compensated or not. When we create value
for the world around us, we discover unique value within
ourselves.
Even as work helps us to grow financially and intellectually,
it also becomes the means for us to transform ourselves by
evolving spiritually.
From the psychotherapist Abraham Maslow, we learn that
when we meet our basic hierarchy of needs (a hygiene
factor), we can move on to self-actualization. Through self-
actualization, we plumb the depths of our creative and
work potential, discovering our true intrinsic value to find
salvation.
Through the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, we
learn that by matching our skills and challenges, with clear
goals and feedback, all of us can enter Flow. In this state of
flow, we can suspend our ego, become oblivious of our
physical needs, lose all sense of time, and engage in work
as a meditation. Work that provides intrinsic rewards is
Auto Telic and work where external compensation is the
primary reward, is Exo-Telic. Those who find Flow in their
work, discover the Auto Telic nature of work. This Flow is
attained by those who work at their Svadharma, where
there is a perfect match between their skills and the
challenges they face on the job
The future lies in programming our unconscious through
education, learning and experience so that our perfect
actions will flow naturally in the right environment with the
fitting stimulus. At such times, the electrical activity in the
brain as well as its blood flow, is at the ideal levels, much like
the fuel consumption of an automobile on cruise control.
The human mind has a natural chaotic drift toward
negativity. All religions may have different philosophies,
cultures and rituals that form the outer wrapping, but at
essence, they all have a common purpose at the central
core – of silencing the mind
To silence the mind is hard work. Yet, hard work silences the
mind
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna teaches the principles
of performing work as a meditation and religion. His
teachings are congruent with modern discoveries in
psychology and neuroscience.

Do We Really Need Morals?
By Swami Shantatmananda
This is an extremely important, yet a very complicated
issue. Before we examine this, we must have an idea of
what morality is.
Morality can generally be understood as the guiding
principle for deciding what's right and wrong, what's good
and bad. Morality is a social phenomenon. It impinges on
our behaviour towards one another.
What would it be like if there were no traffic rules at all?
Would people be able to travel on the roads if there were no
traffic regulations? There would be total chaos, isn't it?
Similarly, rules and regulations are necessary for an orderly
functioning of society. There are several social issues such
as keeping promises, citizenship obligations, etc., which
help in maintaining order in society.
But morality often varies under different circumstances.
What is considered moral under one set of conditions, may
not be so under another set of conditions. For example, in
one country, it may be considered quite normal and moral
for cousins to marry, but in another country, it can be
thought of as abnormal and very immoral.
Similarly, shooting somebody on the streets without any
cause or provocation is considered homicide and can invite
serious punishment, including a death sentence, under the
criminal laws of any country. But killing thousands of
enemy soldiers on the warfront is considered an act of
great bravery and the person gets decorated with
gallantry medals and awards.
Thus, the perception of morality often varies according to
the circumstances.
The idea of morality, in individual as well as social life, is
largely based on fear. It is either a fear of the police or
public ridicule or God's punishment or Karma. However,
the existing theory of ethics does not explain why a person
should be moral and good to others.
One of the strongest and most compelling pursuits of
humankind is the idea of freedom. Everyone wants to be
free of all fetters. It is this desire for freedom that is largely
responsible for people not being moral. When a person
drinks excessively, it is because he wants to be free from
worries and depressing thoughts. Someone steals because
that person wants to be free from the clutches of poverty.
We get a wonderful idea of freedom as well as morality in
the words of Swami Vivekananda: “Each soul is potentially
divine. The goal is to manifest this Divinity…and be free.”
In order to attain true and complete freedom, we need to
understand our real nature - infinite, boundless, birthless
and immortal. In our real nature, we are pure and moral.
Hence the question – “Do we really need morals?” – does
not arise at all.

What Is Spirituality? A Connection
To The Spirit In All
By Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati
The term spirituality is used quite vaguely these days to
refer to anything ranging from those who subscribe to an
eclectic mix of practices, traditions and beliefs, to those
who may agree with the foundational aspects of a religion
while not adhering to all the rituals, to those who believe in
a divine power without necessarily subscribing to a
particular religion at all. The word is also used frequently in
contrast to religion. “I am not so religious,” we hear people
say. “But I'm very spiritual.”
Ultimately, spirituality literally means pertaining to the
spirit, of the spirit, in relation to spirit. It is not the opposite
or antithesis of religion, but rather it is the opposite of
materialism. To be spiritual, in essence, is to live one's life
focused on the intangible, omnipresent, pervasive spirit
rather than on tangible objects with distinct borders and
boundaries. To be spiritual, to be “of the spirit,” means to
focus on that which connects us to each other rather than
that which separates us.
Once I realize that I am one with Spirit, I realize that I am one
with you, for that same Spirit flows through you just as it
flows through me. Theoretically, that is actually what
religion should do as well – connect us to the omnipresent,
all-pervasive Divine and thereby connect us to all of
Creation.
In today's world, our illusion of separateness is killing us –
as individuals and as nations. Our individual feeling of
disconnection from God and from all of Creation leads us
to feel alone, isolated, ungrounded and uncentered. The
Isha Upanishad tells us Isha vasyam idam sarvam.
Everything in the universe is pervaded by the Divine.
There is no place He does not exist. There is no person, no
living being and even no inanimate object from which He is
absent.
When we become truly “spiritual,” when we become
focused on and connected to spirit, we realize that we are
not separate from anyone's joy and we are not separate
from anyone's pain. I am connected to the starving child
trying to sleep with pangs of anguish in his belly. I am
connected to the woman dying in childbirth due to lack of
medical care. I am connected to every animal tortured and
slaughtered. I am connected to every tree being felled,
every river being polluted, and every fish suffocating in the
fisherman's net.
To be truly spiritual requires one to live with an awareness
of spirit, and that spirit is all-pervasive. It leaves nothing
and no one out. If I am One with spirit, then by definition I
am One with you.

Heal Thyself: Chakra
Cleansing & Balancing!
By Smita Jaykar
Finding a perfect balance between the Universal energies
and keeping up our own energetic boundaries, is the main
purpose of Chakra balancing and Chakra healing. While
being “One with the Universe” may be the ideal state of
Being and the ultimate spiritual goal, first you need to learn
to differentiate between you, the Universe, and “others”,
who may not be spiritually advanced, and will only hold you
back or drain you.
The word Chakra is Sanskrit for wheel or disk. It signifies
seven basic energy centres in the body which are the
openings for life energy to flow into and out of our aura.
One reason why there is so much widespread interest in
spirituality today is because people want to learn more
about life, themselves, their minds and what's beyond.
However, taking charge of one's mind can be a difficult
task. Yet, it is necessary because it holds the answers to
many of our problems. It's also a practice that needs
guidance and divine intervention.
Finding the Divine that is sitting inside you, waiting and
yearning for your attention, is the beginning of a great life.
In our current state, we are all interacting and playing into
the hands of our minds and ego. Once a connection with
our Divine is established, we start communicating with that
power, instead of our foolish mind.
The situation created by the mind is much worse than the
actual situation itself. Thinking of what will happen next
can cause immense stress. While pain is something we
can't control, we definitely have a choice when it comes to
suffering. Our mind is devious and adept at making a big
issue out of inconsequential things, leading to anguish.
We have a chakra for each 'issue' that we commonly think
about, and it is worthwhile to know that by keeping the
chakras clean and balanced , your energy and life flow
smoothly, and you experience harmony and bliss.
On the contrary , if you hold any negative or obsessive
thoughts, the related chakra becomes dirty, withered, and
is unable to push through sufficient life force energy
resulting in both illnesses in respective body organs as well
as imbalance in that particular area of life.
The 7 main chakras in the body are located throughout our
body such that they correlate with specific body ailments
and physical dysfunctions; each energy centre also houses
our mental and emotional strengths.
With Smita Jaykar, you can learn to expand your
awareness and experience each of the chakras as a realm
of being. Each chakra is a realm with its own nature and
consciousness. This is not a thinking process, but one in
which you merely open yourself and allow impressions to
form in your whole being!

Brahmanaad – Divine Omdasji
Sound Meditation
His Holiness, Dhyanyogi Omdasji, is the third in line of the
illustrious Gurus of Kundalini Maha Yoga. His Guru is
Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji, who brought the Kundalini
Shaktipat and Yoga to the masses in India and the West.
And his Param Guru is Dhyanyogi Parameshwardasji.
Dhyanyogi Omdasji is renowned for the singing of the
Brahmanaad, or the Divine Omdasji Sound Meditation. The
Brahmanaad is a series of Bija mantras, mantras and
prayers. The power of his singing vibrates through the
pancha koshas or five sheaths of man and also through his
seven chakras. It soothes out stresses and kinks from the
body systems and brings peace and relaxation to listeners,
making them slide easily into a meditative state. All
listeners report experiencing divine love, peace and
stillness within.
The Brahmanaad does not differentiate between caste,
creed, race, religion, sex, language or nationality. There is
no need to know the language or understand what
Dhyanyogi Omdasji sings to receive the numerous
blessings of the Brahmanaad on one's body, mind and soul.
The Brahmanaad is Nada Yoga in its purest form. It's the
most effortless tool for meditation. It takes the listener
back to his or her roots – back to Godhead. The invisible
dimension of spiritualism and Godhead, thus, become
visible to a regular meditator of the Divine Sound.
Benefits of Brahmanaad
Brahmanaad helps in:
Relaxation of mind and body
Easy attaining of meditative state
Reduction of stress
Inducing sleep in insomniacs, otherwise
dependent on sleeping aids and pills
Subsiding overt hyperactivity in children
Overcoming habits of tobacco, alcohol and other
substance abuse
Many cases of healing of heart disease, diabetes
and obesity
Calm thinking and a positive attitude
Awakening of the Kundalini Shakti
What is Brahmanaad and how does it work?
Brahmanaad is vibration energy. The Aum, Amen, Amin
and Hum are universally accepted as the Divine Sound. It is
said that all creation came from that sound and responds
to that vibration. This sound is heard in deep meditation.
The rishis of yore were able to sense and distinguish 50
different variations of "Om", which later became the 50
alphabets of Sanskrit language.
There is an intricate network of 72,000 nadis and 7 major
chakras in the human body. These are the pathways
through which cosmic energy flows and is regulated in the
body. This network is directly affected by the chanting or
intoning of the Sanskrit mantra.
Dhyanyogi Omdasji, a renowned ParamGuru, MahaYogi
and Siddha, has performed intense tapas on sound for
many decades. This Siddhi of Sound and his personal
vibratory levels helps him to connect with his listeners
and put them into meditative state through acoustic
medium.

Everyone is
A Gem of A Person
A chance encounter with Art of Living changed my life
forever. I was heading towards a room on the 3rd floor of a
building for a Reiki course. My eyes fell on a signboard
across the 2nd floor that read 'The Art of Living'. Mistaking
it for an interior decoration programme, I chucked Reiki
and entered the Art of Living course in the hope of learning
something creative. Little did I know that the course would
actually decorate the interiors of my heart. The experience
was so profound and life transforming that I would never
forget it for the rest of my life.
After that, there was no looking back for me. I became a
lifelong volunteer for the AOL Foundation and resolved to
dedicate my life to meaningful service to society. I became
an instrument for transforming people's lives, thereby
making them experience the same happiness which I had
received in just six days! The rest is history.
Indeed, I have been able to touch and change the lives of
countless youths, corporate professionals and women
from all over the world using my creative talent and
spiritual knowledge. I'm a jewellery designer in the real
sense of the word. Whether I'm carving jewels or touching
human lives, I do not rest unless I make them shine with
brilliance.
As a Director of the Art of Living Teacher Training Course
and Head of the youth wing of The Art of Living
Foundation, I conduct youth empowerment and skill
workshops across various countries to uplift the young
generation. My real joy lies in empowering the youth with
strong human values so that they can make a difference to
the world.
Now, I travel the world teaching the Art of Living courses
and have created an exquisite brand of shining authentic
jewels in the form of my students. In fact, I still cherish
those moments when I conducted a programme for youth
representing 123 countries at the World Youth Forum at
the European Parliament in 2007.
So what's next on my to-do list? I am involved with
Volunteers For A Better India (VFABI) - a social initiative
started by AOL, that aims to inspire every individual to
come forward, feel responsible and contribute to uplifting
India.
I have a long way to go. I have been associated with the Art
Of Living for over 15 years and yet, I feel, my journey has
just begun. I have huge responsibilities on my shoulders
and I will not rest in peace until my last breath.

“Live your life the ThetaHealing way”
An individual can have certain subconscious beliefs that
limit him/her from progressing in life. These beliefs can be
acquired from childhood, from one's past life, from one's
ancestors, through one's genes, or at the soul level.
ThetaHealing is a way of empowering an individual by
changing the limiting beliefs with positive ones from the
Creator Of All That Is.
ThetaHealing was founded in 1995 by Vianna Stibal ,an
intuitive reader and naturopath from Idaho Falls, USA, after
she was able to cure the cancer in her leg miraculously.
What is ThetaHealing?
ThetaHealing is a simple yet powerful technique which can
bring everlasting positive changes in your life in a very
gentle way. It's a process of meditation that creates
physical, psychological and spiritual healing, using Theta
brainwaves.
In fact, in a pure and divine Theta state of mind, we are able
to connect with the Creator of All That Is.
ThetaHealing includes the Seven Planes Of Existence, that
compose the Essence of Divinity. The Planes of Existence
provide us with a conceptual instrument for understanding
how and why creation works on the physical and spiritual
level, and how this relates to us on all levels of our being:
mentally, psychically, physically and emotionally.
ThetaHealing also includes Belief Work and Feeling Work,
which help a person to identify, remove and replace
limiting negative thoughts and beliefs with positive ones. In
ThetaHealing, the Creator is the Healer, while the
practitioner takes on the role of a facilitator, witnessing the
healing in a non-judgemental manner.
ThetaHealing can become an excellent self-help guide,
when one learns this modality. After learning, one can not
only heal oneself, one's family members and friends, one
can also practice as a professional ThetaHealing®
practitioner. Practitioners of other healing modalities and
conventional and alternate medical professionals can
easily learn and combine this technique with their practice.
ThetaHealing includes innumerable processes that can be
used daily to lead a happy, healthy, successful and peaceful
life. In fact, ThetaHealing can become a way of life for
anybody who practices it regularly.
Home is where the heart is
Our home is the centre-point of our life. But not many
know that the objects in our house hold on to memories,
emotions, and imprints of everything that is happening
within the home. Our house retains the residual energy of
people who have lived in it. It also holds on to negative
energies and curses, making it difficult for people residing
in such homes to progress in their lives, or to achieve
mutual harmony.
However, ThetaHealing helps release all the negative
energies and curses using the Creator's energy, which
blesses the home with peace, love, joy and harmony.

“My Experiences With Integrated
Complementary Therapies”
“I offer a bouquet of complementary therapies, which I use
in an integrated, holistic and customised manner, for
healing and counselling. These therapies range from
hypnotherapy and foot reflexology to bio-guided music
therapy and art therapy.
As a result of the above approach, I have been able to
achieve remarkable results with both psychological and
physical problems. My goal has been to help individuals
understand the origin of their feelings and reframe them
for a cure.
Here are a few case histories:
A child who had met with an accident and was reduced to
an invalid state, was brought to me in a wheelchair. The
challenge before me was about how I could make a positive
difference to her health. Initially, by administering Foot
Reflexology at appropriate points in a specific manner, I
could restore some of the health energy flow, besides
providing comfort and a sense of well-being to the child.
Then, I used Tibetan Bowl Therapy by placing four bowls
around her head. The striking of the bowl, which gave rise
to sound waves, started showing good results. The change
in her expression, her ability to move and make eye contact,
all became positive.
I cured insomnia in another person who had suffered it for
many years and failed despite trying several traditional
routes to cure the problem. In his case, music therapy,
coupled with audio-visual relaxation therapy, proved to be
very effective. The patient felt relieved and his insomnia
also disappeared.
I have also treated stress-related “psycho-somatic”
disorders using hypnotherapy. A person was traumatised
by fears of death. When the person came to me for healing,
hypnosis and relaxation techniques over a period of time
helped subside his disorder. The person was finally able to
take charge of his life and lead a normal life.
Even palliative cancer patients have been treated using
this technique. Both music and verbal relaxation therapies
were effective in reducing chemotherapy-induced anxiety.
Patients with a high state of anxiety obtained the most
beneficial results from these techniques.
The brain is constantly changing, learning and evolving.
Therefore, neurological shifts were observed in a patient
suffering from obsessive compulsive behavior (OCD). The
patient was at a loss to understand why her thoughts,
feelings and behaviour were distorted. In this case,
counselling beyond words and administering music
therapy and hypnotherapy helped her to calm down. Her
disturbing memories soon began to fade away, giving way
to a positive change.
Thus, holistic healing used in an integrated manner
provides remarkable immediate and long-term relief to
individuals and patients. The opportunity to touch, hear,
emphathise and counsel through various therapies, makes
theirs as well as my life happier, healthier and calmer.”

Divine Healing: An Artist's Perspective
As the light of the Sun is received by
every human being, of all religions,
equally, so do Eashwar, Waheguru,
Allah and Jesus, shower grace on us all
equally - Sad Guru Vani
With the inspirational learning of Shri
Braham Rishi Kumar Swamiji, my
Guruji, I started realising how medical science in the 21st
century is belatedly discovering the powerful reality of
divine healing — a truth that men and women of faith have
known and experienced for centuries. Medical journals and
other secular media abound with recent studies that show,
for example, the documentable power of prayer in healing
sickness.
Divine Healing is also known as “spiritual healing” or “faith
healing”, but an increasing number of writers are
applauding the healing power of praying for the sick.
Understanding this aspect of spiritual healing, as an artist,
is what makes art special. Great art has universal appeal,
because it has a message that moves us deeply or awakens
us to new insights into human nature. Art touches us every
day and every where - at home, at school, in the office, and
on the street. Art is both a process and product of man's
creativity; it is an experience. Art in any form informs,
entertains, enlightens and educates people in all possible
ways.
Through art, people express their emotions, such as love,
happiness, sadness or sorrow. It is also close to the truth.
Art not only imitates life, it inspires life too. Throughout
Time, great artworks tell our history, express our desires,
and speak of our fears. In short, they help us to express
ourselves. Using just one piece of artwork, we can convey
many messages without saying a word.
Art is amazing and endless. In its every visible form, art is a
beautiful and divine source of energy. Even after the great
departure of an artist, art is successful in reflecting the
great knowledge of expression with its wonderful point of
vision. Finally, it can be a masterpiece. The powerful divine
healing art can be anything: just the way you walk can be a
great source of energy for everyone. We can easily feel the
difference between the materialistic world and the divine
world, in the perspective view of divine healings. In brief, in
my work, I love to reflect the spiritual, divine form in a more
culturalistic and prominent way. As India is rich in its
culture, so is art a non-deniable feature, and basically, a
significant part of our life.
To conclude, God is the greatest artist, and Nature is his
canvas.

KkuchhalPathi: Holistic Healthcare
Through Tattva Balancing Tools
People usually advice others: "You can't just trust
everyone". But ever wondered what we are actually
implying when we make a statement like that: We are
saying our mothers failed to become our gurus in the best
possible way!
Yet another advice we dish out is: "Dream Big!” But what
comprises “BIG” is the big question! Does “Big” mean
wealthier, or healthier?
So much confusion exists due to lack of self-confidence on
one hand, and inability of acquiring confidence from the
mother as Guru. The root cause of this "lack of self-
confidence" is an imbalance in the composition of the five
tattvas.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that our youth are not all
that attracted towards healthy options like Patanjali Yog
and Pranayam because there is no instant way to measure
the benefits received.
To remove all the existing confusion, EmbeddedTekGuru,
Prof Agarwal, also known as Krishnaansh, now with a new
name acquired from society - KkuchhalGuru – has
established two core technologies: Naveen SamayChakr:
which gave birth to GyanWatch technology, and
PranWatch Technology, which gave birth to Digital Shunkh
meter, which measures internal climate (immunity level) of
the person. This Shunkhmeter system became the
certifying agency for pranayam.
These technologies made it possible to know the
indigestive element in the self, which is the root cause of
falling ill repeatedly. Tap the shunkh value to know its
benefits instantly.
KkuchhalGuru has created Kkuchhalpathi-style yogasan
and breathing techniques to improve the internal climate.
One 15-minute session with any Kkuchhalpathi expert
ensures at least 15 per cent improvement in shunkh value.
Kkuchhal Constant is the shunkh value at which the person
achieves almost 90 per cent freedom from diseases,
calculated through Numocal technology.
Prof Agarwal is an electronics engineer from IISc,
Bangalore. An expert in Rejection Control, he was asked to
create something which could reduce the phenomenon of
everyone rejecting life. Indeed, Kkuchhalpathi is the system
of cure/recovery (supported by Digital Measurement
Systems) that he created. Fundamentally, Kkuchhalpathi is
a lifestyle methodology which ensures balance in tattva
and sattva, with a shunkh- protection cubicle being built
around oneself against external germ attack.
The best part of this healing method is that the “shunkh
shield” does not allow for any confusion. Prior to any
activity, it helps one predict the results of the activity.
So, energise yourself, remain disease-free and gear up to
be a part of a Nishchhal World - a confusion- and disease-
free global society!

How To Heal Your Life
From the time we are born till we grow up to become
adults, our minds are constantly conditioned to go along
with others' opinions on what is right and wrong.
As a result, we start drifting away from who we truly are at
the core of our being, which is - Pure Love and Perfection!
We begin to see ourselves through the eyes of other
people, thereby giving our own power away!
Most people today are unhappy with their lives. Either their
relationships are falling apart or they are constantly under
pressure to perform at work and no matter how hard they
work, they don't seem to be moving ahead.
While some live with a low self-esteem, thinking that they
are “not good enough”, others bend backwards to please
others, even at the cost of their own happiness, as it gives
them a feel-good factor about themselves, so they feel
appreciated and loved.
But all these mindsets result in constant stress and strain.
No wonder, more and more people are developing health
problems. Through it all, we fail to acknowledge even to
ourselves, that we all want just one thing: “To Love and Be
Loved”.
The Heal Your Life Workshop
The workshop empowers you on all levels of your being –
mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. It teaches you
that the Universe is like a mirror: what you give out is what
you get back. If you give out jealousy, you will attract luck; if
you give out happiness, you will attract joy. Therefore, the
most fundamental thing to learn is to love oneself
unconditionally, because it sets in motion positive changes
in other areas of your life.
All of us experience emotions like anger, guilt, fear etc. This
workshop teaches you how to accept and channelise your
emotions in an effective manner and how to reduce the
intensity and frequency of experiencing them.
You will identify the limiting, negative beliefs and patterns
that have stopped you from moving ahead in your life, and
change them into positive beliefs and patterns. You begin
to understand the power of your mind and how it's your
thoughts which create your reality and your experiences,
that you and only you is responsible for your life.

Healing Journey - Choices And Solutions
After Abuse
Before we talk about abuse, let us understand what the
word really means. Breaking the word abuse into “ab”
(about) and “use” (being used) - reveals that it's all “about
being used”.
Hence, abuse literally means being used in a way that is not
acceptable. This may be of various types - emotional,
physical, mental, verbal, substance, sexual and economical.
All the above types are equally damaging. Abuse could be
inflicted on oneself by ourselves or by others.
When we abuse ourselves, it is known as 'self-abuse'. When
we abuse others, it is an example of 'power play'. Any kind
of abuse is generally dealt with using silence, as talking
about it needs courage. Sadly, even today, it is the image of
the victim (usually a girl) that gets tarnished, making her
feel it's her fault. There is, consequently, a huge sense of
shame and vulnerability attached to the issue.
On the personal front, I've been trying to get over a sexual
abuse I went through as a child at six years of age. Today,
after resolving my own issues, I am fearless and have the
courage to break my silence and speak up for myself as
well as others. I hold no anger against anyone. Rather, I
have a massive learning to move ahead in life and help
others too.
My effort to speak on this topic is to help someone like me
and empower them tackle the root cause and it's effects
and make their life blossom.
The social virus known as abuse can strike anyone,
anytime. The 'feeling of shame' is a big reason that these
cases go unreported and result in silence, secrecy and
misjudgment.
Abuse is a 'huge silent killer'. It is a precursor to many
health issues e.g. bipolar disorder, Parkinson's disease,
polycystic ovaries, obesity, thyroid, endometriosis,
pimples, infertility, skin issues - the list goes on.
The process of Healing consists of three “A”s:
• Awareness
Awareness
Awareness means a realisation of the gravity of the
situation regarding what is abuse, who can be abused, how
does an abuser look and behave, and how does a victim
behave, how we can make her/him safe and who can she or
he seek help from.
Acceptance
Acceptance means taking the responsibility of tackling the
problem. This comprises making chances, choices, and
changes.
Action
Action means the process of doing something, typically to
achieve an AIM, which needs - Courage, Compassion
and Connection.
“So many unheard screams/ in silence/screams spoke
louder than words could ever speak. Today, together/let us
take a pledge to speak up/so that this never happens
again. Break your silence/speak up/and save the pattern
from repeating itself.”

Anger Management and Mind
Empowerment
The saying goes that anger kills and the mind heals. But it's
really not anger that kills; it is the way we process that
anger that hurts us or makes us very sick.
After all, our body is a mirror of our inner thoughts,
emotions and beliefs. Every single cell in the body has its
own intelligence and is able to listen to what we are
thinking and to feel what we are expressing emotionally.
Repetitive modes of thinking and suppressing negative
emotions can and will eventually manifest as a disease of
the mind, which leads to further diseases in the body.
Suppressed emotions, literally, act like ticking bombs
waiting for the perfect conditions to detonate and
manifest as disease.
Anger is, undoubtedly, a self-defeating and self-
destructive emotion. It can cause physical problems like
disturbed sleep, tiredness, hypertension, heart problems,
ulcers, stiffness in the joints, cancer and other physical
complications.
Anger, when out of control, can lead to violence against
someone you are close to, leading to physical injury, even
fatalities. You may say or do things that you cannot undo.
Relationships get damaged, sometimes irreversibly. The
victim may either retaliate or withdraw, giving in to the
“fight or flight” impulse. In either case, the relationship
suffers, as the relationship finishes at the emotional level.
But, understanding the root cause of anger enables us to
control it through mind empowerment.
The root causes of anger are:
• Unfulfilled desires and expectations.
• Ego and self-centeredness.
• Discontentment.
• Low self-esteem.
• Lack of self-control.
• Ignorance of the 'true' self or body consciousness.
The effects of anger are:
• It pushes back your good qualities.
• It sours relationships.
• It brings disrespect.
• It blocks co-operation.
• It takes away happiness.
• It ends in repentance.
• It depletes energy.
• It clouds judgments.
• It causes emotional imbalance.
• It results in an irritable nature.
• It leads to unbecoming conduct.
Anger management through mind empowerment
If we really want to get rid of anger, we will have to
empower our mind by:
• Being aware of anger and its effect on the quality of life
• Accepting that anger is irrational
• Acknowledging the role of the self in its creation
• Avoiding self- condemnation
• Accepting the responsibility of changing it
• Taking the action of changing it
For empowering the mind, you have to know what the
mind is, how it works, how it deceives you at every turn, and
by what methods it can be subdued. Eventually, you could,
indeed, become the master of your mind.

Acupressure - Cure ills Without Pills
We suffer from one physical ailment or the other since our
birth. But do you know, we have an inbuilt system to heal
any disease?
If you pay attention, you will find the answer to your pain in
the pain itself. For example, when you have a headache,
what is the first thing that you want to do? Press the area of
pain, isn't it? What if you have aching pain in your legs?
Again, massage the area, isn't it?
Indeed, acupressure, or applying pressure at the place of
pain, is a natural process of healing.
In Acupressure Therapy, all ailments - whether physical,
mental or emotional - can be treated by improving the flow
of energy to that part of the body. The therapy believes
that energy flows along a specific path in our body, known
as a meridien. There are 12 meridians or energy paths in our
body, each meridian representing one of the body organs.
Each meridian, in turn, has dense energy points.
For instance, the Liver meridian (Liv) has 14 dense energy
points, the Gall Bladder (Gb) 44, the Heart (H) 9, the Small
Intestine (Si) 19, the Spleen (Sp) 21, the Stomach (St) 45,
the Lungs (Lu) 11, the Large Intestine (Li) 20, the Kidney (K)
27, the Urinary Bladder (Ub) 67, the Pericardium (P) 9 and
the Tripple Warmer (Tw) 23.
Each Acupressure point has a specific action on the body
system when pressed, stimulated or massaged. Liv-1
enhances memory; Liv-2 treats excess bleeding during
menses and controls high BP in young people; Liv-3 is
good for muscle cramps, mainly calf muscles; Liv-4 treats
dribbling urination, especially in old people; Liv-5 treats
vaginal itching; Gb-20 is good for high BP; Gb-40 is good
for insomnia; Sp-2 is an excellent for curing uric acid and
the resultant joints pain; Sp-3 is good for concentration
and controls excess thinking; Sp-8 is good for treating
incontinence of urination in females; St-40 expels out the
phlegm from the body as well as stops excess phlegm
formation; St-45 treats hyperacidity; Lu-5 is good to cure
breathing from mouth; Lu-8 treats fear of lifts, crowds and
closed rooms; Lu-11 treats dry cough; Li-4 is a good pain
killer, especially in the head; Li-20 treats sneezing and
running nose; K-2 treats acne in youngsters; K-5 treats fear
of passing stool, especially in infants; K-7 treats bleeding
piles.
