the new life style for healthy heart by yoga asanas

Introduction

Heart is the most important organ of our body. Thirty percent of all deaths in the world are heart related issues.  While medical science has its own prescription for preventing or curing heart diseases. yoga provides an excellent preventive lifestyle.

Mind - Heart relation

Stress is not the enemy of heart. stress is identified as main problem for heart diseases .Stress is a result of speed of thought in the mind and negative emotions. Yoga is a technique, for slowing down speed of the mind.  it makes it quieter and more focused. Yoga benefit to body comes through mind improvement. Patanjali definition of yoga is 'yogaschit vriti nirodhah' - controlling modification of mind is yoga. Vashishta said 'manasah prashamansya upayah' -yoga is a technique of making the mind quite.

Healthy Eating

Common heart diseases are caused due to high cholesterol, obesity and diabetes. Therefore, it is important to consume a balanced diet. The diet should consist of 'heart-healthy' foods such as green leafy vegetables, whole grains, fatty fish and fish oils, healthy nuts like almonds, legumes like lentils, and fruits, among others. Consume foods that soothe your taste buds, as long as 80 to 90 per cent of what is on your plate comes from a plant or a grain. Don't give into the temptation to consume oily, sugary and junk food items, especially after the age of 40.

Stress management

Heart is associated with cleaning and pumping fresh blood in to the body. Blood gets purified by oxygen and oxygen enter blood  by prana. Pranayama is part of yoga. it is a very useful technique for regularizing flow of breath in to the body. it helps our blood, heart and thoughts cleaning process. This techniques of yoga are called kriyas. such as kapalbhati, for people who have been screened for heart related issues.which is also useful in detoxifying our lungs but under proper guidance. That improves supply of oxygen too. 

Yoga - pranayama

Heart is more then an organ, it signifies emotions. When someone is in love, he feels it in his heart. when someone love fails, he says his heart is broken. Love comes with a set of other emotions. such as care , concern for the beloved and devotion, loyalty, trust, happiness,surrender towards the person . These emotions are part of bhakti yoga. Bhakti yoga promotes true love. the trust in the justice system of god and having unconditional loving relationship with god is bhakti yoga. It makes us secure . It reduces stress.
Heart is also associated with compassion. When we say , i have a heart, it means being compassionate and  having mercy . Compassion to all is a divine quality. It comes from the heart. And it fills heart with good feelings.  When we have enjoyed something thoroughly.  we say I had a heartful of music today.

Significance of Yoga pranayama

This signifies contentment one of the prescriptions of ashtanga yoga.Heart signifies courage , too. We say this all the time - someone who shows courage is called  a brave-heart.Courage comes from strong will power . It comes from understanding the reality of who I am. When one knows self to be an indestructible. so ever present entity, and not mere body mind complex,  one gets real to do big things.  This knowledge of self comes from jnana yoga, logical understanding of who I am, through study of vedanta.

Yoga for heart

yoga means asana and pranayama. its a way of  life for healthy heart.
Asana, Pranayama and meditation have to be a part of one's daily routine. But in addition to this, one has to  understand and follow principles of karma yoga, bhaktiyoga and jnana yoga.
karma yoga is carrying on duty of life without selfishness,  carelessness and ego.  Having trusting relationship with creator is bhakti yoga.  And daily study of scriptures,  good literature to understand who I am is a part of jnana yoga. Adopting these practices is to live a yoga way of life.

Regular Screening

Regular screening is essential for monitoring overall health. This becomes While the life expectancy has increased over time, it is worthwhile only when it's disease free. The fundamental focus should be on right living, and the approach to healthcare and wellness should be based on this principle.

Assessment of children for exams

Tune your neurons of mind to beat the final exam stress. We, along with a group of Gynan Kunj educational society members, have visited the school. The school name is Telangana  State Minority Residential School. Bhagyamathi,Hayathnagar,RangaReddy. To know the stress levels of children by a psychometric questionnaire on 18th March 2016. We reached the school early morning at 8 o clock. By then, the students of class 10th were in the digital classroom.

First, we introduced ourselves to the students. Then we had an ice-breaking session. To build up the firm rapport with children. Later, they were explained about the questionnaire. which will be used to assess their performance levels in the coming final exam. There were 32 students present in the hall. The children were given the questionnaire to assess exam stress. for assessment of factors present in us. It has been divided into 3 sub-categories. The below table indicates the results obtained by the children.

TEST RESULTS

I. PHYSIOLOGICAL PROBLEMS :-

category	More problems.	Medium problems.	less problems
No. of students	0	12	20

II.PSYCHOLOGICAL  PROBLEM'S :-

category	More stress.	Medium stress.	less  stress.
No.of  student's	0	13	19

III. OTHER FACTORS :-

In each category, we have 5 questions. The child has to tick either of the answers given in the questionnaire, which strikes first at his thought. We can improve the strength, weakness and capabilities of children based on the answers given.

Neurons can be conditioned

Learning is the formation of conditioned reflexes. So controlled learning is conditioned learning. Conditioned learning is also accompanied by a generalization of experiences. we can tune our neurons towards the betterment of the neural networks in our brain. It can keep pressures under control and use them in the proper direction. for the attainment of the future goals. The above process is used for the assessment of children & their stress level to handle the pressure of the final exam.

examination final countdown run children run

There is an unfortunate trend prevailing now a days in our education system. Each teachers or parents wants children to be Super Kids. who can perform multi-tasking like scoring highest marks,performing well in sports,singing ,dancing and many others.so due to this reasons examination phobia arises. Among some of the teachers and parents point examinations as great trials. This abnormal approach generates great tension in the minds of children. leading to nervousness, anxiety, lack of appetite, empty stomach, and poor performance in the examination. Even parents also take a lot of tension during their kids exams.they are prone to nervousness,anxiety .

The reason for the above is the corporate culture ,High expectation from our near and dear people. To overcome the above situation,the children should prepare systematically with total dedication and face examination with confidence. they should not worry about the results while they are writing the answers.

Exams phobia is due to the pressure on them. Now a days parents are pressuring the kids to get very high marks and insisting upon them to stand first in class. More over some kids are also afraid of exams because they are not well prepared for the test and they lack confidence. So parents to remove fear from them should first find out the basic problem and then try to tackle it accordingly by boosting up their confidence levels.

Exam phobia is a normal feeling that a child has while appearing for the exam. It is the fear of failure.in such case you as a parent/teacher should counsel kids by saying that the failure mean delay not defeat.so we should remember what ever we read and write it in the appropriate given time and if they score lesser marks.they will be having another set of exams in which they can score higher marks.

By saying this kind of words support kids in preparing for the examination. by helping her in studying and make her feel comfortable .if she is not in a position to learn anything while preparing for the exams. Sometimes difficult lessons or subject keeps them awake the whole night and the result is a failure .so  anxiety level increase which may lead to depression.  always be with them. Encourage them by saying life is a challenge, be a learner.

To get rid of Exam phobia .expose them directly to to the cause i.e, assure them with love that the sky is not going to fall if they fail.Assure her even if she submits a blank paper that you are not going to be annoyed or punish them.Parents should not intimidate the children in any form. Once they tastes the sweetness in success no one can stop them. You as the parent/teacher should be prepared for the worst until they gains their normal self. try it.

Good luck.

how to cope with valentines day addiction,do not blame

love is the most effective coping mechanism. to balance  the pain of one’s loneliness. the people make false statements because they mistake common causes of  pseudo-love with rare genuine love. unlike friendship, one is dependent on the relation for a sense of well being and balance. any disturbance  to the integrity of the relation may be experienced with great anxiety and distress.

the people have become so mechanically, that they turn the situation favorable to them. like getting into relationship or breakup on valentines day. valentine day is the  most costliest day around the world. people express their affection by giving different gifts to their loved ones. the word love was divine, infinite, eternal. but now it has changed peoples thinking a lot.but now love towards people has transformed  into a feeling of being loved.

Types of love

only consummate love is to satisfy their sexual needs.addiction  towards this type of relation is alive  in the beginning. but later the sense that people we care about are not really listening. we never out grow the need to have our feelings known. talking without listening is like lighting up a lamp without power.

Present scenario

modern culture has developed new ideas of love .addiction  to keep the relation  alive in  the beginning.  unfortunately when we fail to get through to each other,  we  have  a  tendency to fall back on blaming. its his fault to not understand and accept the feelings  of a  person.  the safer she feels to go deeper into the issues. the mechanical and repetitive   feelings of  some complaints   come partly from the fact they rarely get  a sympathetic  hearing.  loving is a the greatest  gift you can   give to help soothe a persons feeling.

i have seen one of the person who communicates their message in such a manner. that the anger and upset of the opposite  listener become so anxious . that he or she does not remember the content he spoke.
