How to cure just about anything

February 1st, 2010

Medical Science is wonderful at certain
issues, like trauma. If you are in an
accident, medical doctors are saviors and magicians.

However, for the majority of illnesses,
medical doctors do a mediocre job fixing symptoms but a terrible job at fixing the cause — and they also unfortunately do a great job at creating new problems (which they call side-effects).

This email presents one way to look at almost all illness.

When you (or, at least, when your cavemen
ancestors) were confronted with a
life-or-death issue like an attack by a
fierce carnivore, you needed to immediately activate your fight-or-flight mechanism in order to save your life.

That was a good thing and it worked.

It worked to save your caveman’s life.

It had negative side-effects but these were not as significant as the fact that you survived the incident.

What is the fight-or-flight mechanism? It is the release of degenerative hormones:
Cortisol and Adrenaline.

They spur you into action. They save your life. They put you in top performance. But, alas, they also create stress. These two hormones and the related stress they cause are believed to be the leading cause of the most serious diseases like cancer, shingles, heart ailments and many others.

If the release of these hormones was so good for your cavemen ancestors, then why is it not good for you now?

The reason is that the issues which cause you worry and stress today are no longer life-threatening. They may include someone angry at you, a very long red light, a nasty email, etc.

Though there is no danger involved in these incidents, the body still perceives these incidents as danger and triggers the fight-or-flight mechanisms. The unused hormones in your system are the cause of the degeneration.

These unused and mostly unneeded hormones accumulate in your system and are the beginnings of the degenerative diseases you fear.

The cure of the most common AND the most dreaded diseases can be traced back to curing the release of, and the consequential accumulation of, the Cortisol and Adrenaline hormones in your body (at least in many, if not most, cases).

And, how is that done? The ultimate answer
is: relax.

There are a variety of ways to do that…

… being calm

… playing contemplative music

… resting during the day

… getting sufficient sleep

… enjoying the occasional massage

… meditating or praying

… having peaceful retreats in your day

… smiling

… taking deep breaths when you feel stress

… soaking in hot baths and

… other such restful practices.

So how do you cure just about anything that’s making you sick?

The answer may be as simple as…

Chill out.

Your Mission

January 22nd, 2010

I believe I know what your mission is.

Does that seem like a big claim to make?

Follow me on this…

Imagine you are in a huge dark room.

Everyone in the room is holding a candle and so are you.

You are at the front of the room looking out at the others.

They are doing their best to look at you, but the room is so dark that they cannot see much.

There is only one difference between you and them.

Your candle is lit.

When you light the candles of everyone else in the room, their lives are brightened.

When you see their happiness, your life is enlightened too. And, here is the best news:

your candle is diminished in no way by sharing your flame with hundreds or millions of others.

Share your light. Teach what you know.

You may be hesitant fearing that you have nothing to teach. My experience is that you indeed do have valuable information to teach others.

If you have been at your job for at least one year, you know immeasurably more than you knew when the job started.

If you have children, you have learned giant life lessons.

If you are single, married, divorced, or remarried – in all those matrimonial states, you have learned huge lessons.

If you’ve recovered from a severe illness or a big accident or a huge business failure or an investment calamity, then for sure you have learned lessons.

Your candle is lit.

There are so many others standing hopefully in front of you wishing that they knew those lessons you have learned. They want you to light their candle.

Light their candles.

Teach them what you know.

Brighten the world.

Change Begins with Choice

December 30th, 2009

Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year. We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, “The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth. We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives. And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life—if you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life, and it all begins with your very own power of choice.

by Jim Rohn

Beautiful Thoughts

December 28th, 2009

Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.

You can’t change the past, But you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.

Love…and you shall be loved.

God always gives His best to those Who leave the choice with Him.

All people smile in the same language.

Everyone needs to be loved…Especially when they do not deserve it.

The real measure of a man’s wealth is what he has invested in eternity.

Laughter is God’s sunshine.

Everyone has beauty…..But not everyone sees it.

It’s important for parents to live………..The same things they teach.

Thank God for what you have, TRUST GOD for what you need.

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, You have no today to be thankful for.
Man looks at outward appearance; But the Lord looks within.

The choice you make today…Will usually affect tomorrow.

Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.

Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.

To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.

We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for.

Love is the only thing that can be pided without being diminished.

Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend upon others.

For every minute you are angry with someone,You lose 60 seconds of happiness that you can never get back.

Do what you can, for who you can, With what you have, and where you are.

Parents are Precious

December 28th, 2009

This was narrated at a Seminar recently on Human Relations :

Venkatesh Balasubramaniam (who works for IIT) describes how his gesture of booking an air ticket for his father, his maiden flight, brought forth a rush of emotions and made him (Venkatesh) realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents.

My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never travelled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on Jet Airways. The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of
travel. Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for a window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen. He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these things.

As they were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional and it was not as if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to him. When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me. But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life. As a child, how many dreams our parents have made come true. Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for cricket bats, dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they have catered to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes? Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us? Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good school. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will ensure that we will have t give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc. But we tend to forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed to see when they were young. It is our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life is complete.

Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very polite in answering. Now I realize how they would have felt at those moments. Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and just as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care needs to be given to our parents and elders.Quality time and politely answering them with out making them wait is important. Now I realise that I must look at their eyes and answer them pleasantly and not pretend to be reading papers and answer in mono syllables. Rather than my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes.

Just because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes, too.

Take care of your parents. THEY ARE PRECIOUS.

Inspire Others and Gain Respect

November 1st, 2009

10 Vital Actions To Inspire Others And Gain Respect

1. Make a small difference in someone’s life every day. It can be simple as helping a total stranger or an act of appreciation. The personal benefit, however, is huge in terms of how you’ll feel when you go to bed at night. It really is a nice feeling to realize that you have made a positive difference in the life of another human being. Sometimes the people you help will know it was you who did it, and other times they will never know.
Sometimes your efforts are noticed and appreciated; other times they are not. None of this matters. All that matters is that you know and that you get the positive feelings that result.

2. Trust Yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, why would anyone else? Have confidence in your abilities. We all have something we are good at. For as long as you put your heart to it, you have the ability to make important changes.

3. Keep your word. Your reputation can take you places or bar you from them. If you say you will do something, do it! Don’t commit to something you can’t follow though, as it will create hairline fractures in your trustworthiness.

4. Be a good communicator. Increasing your ability to communicate effectively is a critical element to inspire others. Learn to listen more and speak less! Pay close attention to both what you say and how you say it. Your body language and tone of voice will give you away!

5. Get better at giving feedback. Be generous with words of praise. Give credit where credit is due, including public praise for a job well done. If you have to criticize, do it gently and give suggestions for improvement.

6. Give people confidence to reach their full potential. Fear is one of the main elements that prevent us from doing our best. From time to time, we all need some encouragement and a “gentle push” to do our best.

7. Share from your own experience. You have certain experiences that are unique to you. Stories are a way of revealing who we are and how we think. Stories allow you to point out behaviors and values without sounding as if you’re bragging or giving a lecture.

8. Be vulnerable. No one is perfect; when mistakes occur, graciously accept the consequences.

9. Develop a sense of humor. Finding humor in things is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Most people are drawn to a person who can make them laugh; a person with a good sense of humor is a joy to be around.

10. Don’t forget your roots. You are what you are today because of your family, friends, schools, previous jobs, and places you’ve lived. If you leave it all behind, you lose touch with an integral part of you.

Who are the most inspiring people in your life? What distinguishes them from the rest of the crowd?

Masala Dosa Psyche

November 1st, 2009

There are many ways to eat a masala dosa .What ever the way one eats; there is a very good reason for doing that. It shows some traits of the person…

Case 1: People who open the masala dosa and eat it: These are the people who are very open about their life. Everyone one the persons friends would know all about him/her. I have generally seen guys do this rather than girls. Some people think that it is a gross way of eating but in truth, these people are just portraying who they are and how their life is.

Case 2: People who start from both end and approach the masala later: These are the people who like to wait for the exiting things to come to their life. Sadly when the times comes, they are not too interested or just do not know how to enjoy it to the fullest. These are the folks who just want life as either dry or exiting. They just do not know how to phase their life and enjoy it no matter what. There are two types of people within this group

Case 2.1: People who do not finish all the masala: These folks just do not care as much for the fun times as they are already brought down by the harsh reality of life. The dry periods in their life has left them with so much scars that they do not want to be really happy when the time is right. They just take only as much as they needed and end their life. A very sorry state indeed.

Case 2.2: People who finish all the masala with the little dosa they have: These are the folks who just are the extremes. They just go all out in life. No matter it is dark or bright. They may not enjoy life to the fullest but they sure make sure that they get every single good and bad thing out of life. Sometimes these folks are really hard to get along with. They are either your best friends or your worst enemies. They do not have a middle path at all.

Case 3: People who start from the middle and proceed to both ends: These are the people who like to get right to what they think is their best part of life. Usually these guys finish of the good portions in a hurry and get stuck with nothing but worst parts of their life. The thing to note among these people is that the tendency to burn out very early in their life. Like the above case, there are two kinds of people in this group too.

Case 3.1: People who do not finish the dosa: These folks are really the saddest of people. They are the ones who tend to end their life as soon as it hits the bad patch. For them, they only need and want the best things in life and nothing more. Typically, they are not prepared or tuned to life as a whole. They just want to enjoy from first till last. Sadly, no one in the world can live without even an ounce of sadness in life. Not even the richest of the richest. But to self destruct at the mere sign of distress is very bad. That is what these guys tend to do. Some learn to live life but most of them do not.

Case 3.1: People who do finish the dosa: These folks are the typical human beings. We all enjoy the greatest of times in life and push the sad parts thinking about the great times in life. Typically the plate is clean and nothing is left for fate or in life. Happiness and sadness are part of life and these guys know that and are kind of prepared for it. Life is not always happy but there are moments of happiness here and there.

Case 4: People who eat the dosa making sure that the masala lasts for the whole dosa: These people are very rare. These are the people who like to attain balance in their life. It is hard to displease these people and it is hard to make them really happy. They like their balance and are very protective of it. Sadly these are the people who tend to be lonely as anyone else may upset the balance of their system. Perfectionist to the core and are very careful. These guys do not make the best company but are needed in any group to make the group from going hay wire.

Case 5: People who do not share and eat the dosa as if it is precious: These folks are very protective about their life. They do not want anyone to come and interfere in their life. They like to hide their true nature and intensions for their benefit. Beware of such people as they are in every group for their own need and nothing else.

Case 6: People who offer their first bite to others: These guys are overly friendly. They do anything to be part of a group and make everyone feel like the group is important than the individuals. They are the glue that holds any group together. They are very friendly and bring the best of all the others in the group. They go out of their way to help other friends. Most groups should have a person like this and they are the ones who plan the group outings and other group activities. Once this person is out of the group, typically the group slowly falls apart.

Case 7: People who take one or two bites and then offer the dosa to others: These guys care about friends and friendship but they take their time to get into the group. They take their time in making friends and they typically are very committed once into the friendship. These guys like to always be in the side lines and typically do not jump into anything in life. They always take their time to analyze the situation and then make a decision. These guys take the better safe than sorry approach.

Case 8: People who wait for others to make the offer first: Typical people I must say. They are unsure about everything. Even if they wanted to offer, they will wait till the other person offers the food first. If the other person is silent, so are these people. They are the followers. They do terrific idea, they will pitch it to someone else and get their advice before proceeding. Sadly, most of the elderly world like these types of people.

Case 9: People who offer dosa only when they cannot finish it on their own: You all may be familiar with these kinds of people. People who are very generous only when all their needs are fulfilled. These folks are selfish but at the same time not misers or greedy. They just want to satisfy themselves before they give it to the world. They typically do not stuff themselves nor do they tend to starve. They are very good people who would give you the best of advices in life. They would make sure that you are not sad following their advice.

Case 10: People who offer the whole dosa and eat from others plates: These folks are other extreme. They know what they want, they get what they want but they cannot enjoy what they want. Instead they tend to settle for other things in life which satisfies the needs but does not satisfy the person completely. These guys are termed as born losers cause even when they have the thing they wanted, they can’t stop others from stealing it from them.

So next time you sit with a person eating a masala dosa, look closely and see if he/she falls into one of the above categories. You may be surprised as how much it reveals about the person.

Enjoy eating Masala Dosa !!!

But I dont know how they do a Dosa Psyche Research

on this 6 FEET FAMILY DOSA which served to the family

of four and above only…

Enjoy your dosa anyway
