Classical Yoga Studies

Posted on by

Yoga is practised world-wide now. It is being used as a system of physical exercise. To address psychosomatic diseases like stress, depression, hypertension and other health-related diseases, yogic kriyas are being used. While categorising the websites, we find yoga being a sub-category under the category of Health and Fitness. It is clear that it became a health-related topic. But it is not a health-related subject. Its dimension is more. To understand that dimension and to get the maximum benefits of yogic kriyas, one should learn it from the perspective of ancient yoga treatises. For this very purpose, one should learn classical yoga treatises.

Yoga was taught by Gurus of ancient India without accepting any consideration or with a meagre consideration which was affordable to students of those times. An amount affordable to the student was accepted by Gurus. The amount or Guru Thatchana (the amount given by the student) was …

Ways to Diffuse Mental Health Stigma

Posted on by
  • Refrain from making it a taboo: Talking openly about mental health problems creates a platform where people can honestly discuss their struggles with mental disorders. This provides an opportunity to convey to those suffering in silence that they are not alone and that help is available.
  • Stay informed and spread awareness: When someone misrepresents mental illnesses, most people prefer looking the other way or staying silent. However, to reduce the brunt of the stigma, it is important to express how such beliefs affect a person and the need to spread awareness.
  • Avoid using stigmatizing language: The human language is continually changing and evolving and so have the applications of words, such as “insane,” “nuts,” and “mental” when referred to someone with a mental illness. Unfortunately, portraying mental illnesses through adjectives labels the individual and does no good in improving the situation.
  • Treat mental and physical disorders equally: Just like physical

When language becomes incoherent and an individual with Dementia becomes increasingly confused by spoken word, dance offers the opportunity to communicate with no words needed.

In moments of complete frustration when an individual living with dementia can longer remember the name or face of a loved one, dancing can present an opportunity to reconnect. Holding hands and swaying from side to side can mean that both individuals are connected physically and emotionally in the same moment of time. Shuffling around the room in a dance hold whilst looking into one another’s eyes can provide focus of individual and provide real insight to how one is really feeling.

As well as the many psychological benefits of dance, dance is a physical activity so …

Cedarwood Essential Oil

Posted on by

Cedarwood has been used in native American Indian ceremonies to enhance communion with the spirit and promote bravery against all odds.

Like all evergreen oils, cedarwood essential oil enhances feelings of security and protection. The aroma is used by aromatherapists to calm anger and relieve nervous tension. It quiets mind chatter, going over and over the same details and options ad nauseum. It promotes firm resolve and emotional stability, even against persistent opposition.

I recommend using cedarwood when you are going into strange or unfamiliar situations. It has been shown effective for those who suffer with ADHD.

I like to think of the essential oil of cedarwood as a powerful oil for breaking up phlegm and congestion not only in the physical body, but also congestion that may be cluttering our minds and emotions. Cedarwood is excellent for meditation and clarity of mind. It reduces tension and promotes restful sleep.…
