Natural Therapy For Headaches ! In about 5 minutes, your headache will go…

The nose has a left and a right side. We use both to inhale and exhale. Actually they are different. You’ll be able to feel the difference.

The right side represents the sun. The left side represents the moon.

During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe.In about 5 mins, your headache will go.

If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to ‘hot’, so it gets heated up easily. Left side belongs to ‘cold’.

Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get “cooled off” faster. Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.

Do you notice, the moment you awake, which side breathes better?
Left or right ?
If left is better, you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing. You will feel refreshed quickly.

Do you suffer from continual headaches?
Try out this breathing therapy.

Close your right nose and breathe through your left nose. Your headaches will be gone. Continued the exercise for one month.

Parenting tips

“It is not what you do for your chidren, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings” – Ann Landers

Forwarded by : Satya || Source : Unknown

Dear parents, give your finger to support your child not your entire hand to hold for life time else they never be able to survive without you. If you want to make your child independent and confident in future, follow the below steps from now.

Don’t feed your child let him eat by himself. Let them starve to develop sense of hunger.
Let them wear their clothes on their own, you can help a little. Let them pack garden bag.
Let them to choose which color things they want. This helps them to develop decision making power in them.
Let them pack their school bag, if they forget anything let them face situation so from very young age they become very particular.
In school if they have not completed their books, please don’t call other parents, but tell the child to copy from friends’ book next day. This creates realization as to how it feels if they don’t complete the books and will make them responsible.
Never ever sit with your child when he is doing homework otherwise even in 10th standard also child will need your help he /she will never develop confidence.
Whenever you make monthly budget involve your child. Discuss what is your income, how much you need to save? Why you need to save? .This develops planning sense and awareness in the child from a very young age and definitely he/she will never do unnecessary expense.
Let them make their own decisions in set boundary, it develops freedom.

A convincing explanation on Neivedhyam

Even when I was young I used to wonder about Neivedhyam to God and have asked my parents.. Will God come and eat and even waited curiously to see HIM in action. But then my parents were not able to give me an acceptable explanation. I was just advised to have BELIEF.

Forwarded by : Sapna Rangarajan || Source : Unknown

Here is a very good explanation with which we can convince our kids… A Guru-Sishya conversation:

The sishya who doesn’t believe in God, asked his Guru this: “Does God accept our ‘Neivedhyam’? If God eats away the ‘prasadham’ then from where can we distribute it to others? Does God really consume the ‘prasadham’, Guruji?”.The Guru did not say anything. Instead, asked the student to prepare for classes.

That day, the Guru was teaching his class about the ‘Upanishads’.He taught them the ‘mantra’:”poornamadham, poornamidham, poornasya poornaadaaya….” and explained that: ‘everything came out from “Poorna or Totality.” (of Ishavasya Upanishad).Later, everyone was instructed to practice the mantra by-heart.

So, all the boys started practicing. After a while, the Guru came back and asked that very student who had raised his doubt about Neivedya to recite the mantra without seeing the book, which they did.

Now the Guru gave a smile and asked this particular sishya who didn’t believe in God. Did each of you really by-heart everything as it is in the book? The sishya said: “Yes!! Guruji”, I’ve recited whatever is written as in the book. The Guru asked: If you have taken every word into your mind then how come the words are still there in the book?

He then explained: “The words in your mind are in the SOOKSHMA STHITI (unseen form). The words in the book are there in the STOOLASTHITI (seen form).

God too is in the ‘Sooksma sthiti’. The offerings made to Him is done in ‘Stoola sthiti’. Thus, God takes the food in ‘Sookshmam’.

Hence, the food doesn’t become any less in quantity. While GOD takes it in the Sookshma sthiti, we take it as ‘prasadam’ in ‘stoola sthiti’.Hearing this the sishya felt guilty for his disbelief in God and surrendered himself to his GURU.

Rules for staying happy in your journey of life

This a very beautiful article written by Late Khushwant Singh. Happy reading.. Stay Happy!!

Forwarded by : Rakhi || Source : Unknown

How To Live & Die

I’ve often thought about what it is that makes people happy—what one has to do in order to achieve happiness.

First and foremost is good health. If you do not enjoy good health, you can never be happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will deduct something from your happiness.
Second, a healthy bank balance. It need not run into crores, but it should be enough to provide for comforts, and there should be something to spare for recreation—eating out, going to the movies, travel and holidays in the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be demoralising. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in one’s own eyes.
Third, your own home. Rented places can never give you the comfort or security of a home that is yours for keeps. If it has garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom, and cultivate a sense of kinship with them.
Fourth, an understanding companion, be it your spouse or a friend. If you have too many misunderstandings, it robs you of your peace of mind. It is better to accept the differences than to be quarrelling all the time.
Fifth, stop envying those who have done better than you in life—risen higher, made more money, or earned more fame. Envy can be corroding; avoid comparing yourself with others.
Sixth, do not allow people to descend on you for gossip. By the time you get rid of them, you will feel exhausted and poisoned by their gossip-mongering.
Seventh, cultivate a hobby or two that will fulfill you—gardening, reading, writing, painting, playing or listening to music. Going to clubs or parties to get free drinks, or to meet celebrities, is a criminal waste of time. It’s important to concentrate on something that keeps you occupied meaningfully.
Eighth, every morning and evening devote 20 minutes to meditation or introspection. In the mornings, 10 minutes should be spent in keeping the mind absolutely still, and for listing the things you have to do that day. In the evenings, five minutes should be set aside to keep the mind still and 10 to go over the tasks you had intended to do.
Ninth, don’t lose your temper. Try not to be short-tempered, or vengeful. Even when a friend has been rude, just move on.
Above all, when the time comes to go, one should go like a Person without any regret or grievance against anyone.

The Holy Grass : Darbha

Forwarded by : Roopa Hebbar || Source : Unknown

Why Dharba (holy grass) is used as ring during on our auspicious and inauspicious occasions !!..
This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Darbha, Dharbham or Dharbai.

The botanical name is Eragrostis cynosuroides and in Hindi they call this as Kus or Kusha. Brahmins use this Dharbai grass in all functions, auspicious or inauspicious. A performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place.

What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner. A Medical Practitioner once visited my home. When the topic turned to many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass named Dharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words. So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an X-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham.

To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the (X-ray) radiation!

When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass, why can it not absorb the ill-radiations spread over the atmosphere?
At the time of Solar eclipse or Lunar eclipse,our elders used to keep this Holy grass in all the food containers in the house to protect from radiation of eclipses.

While chanting and reciting some Vedic phrases and verses, one needs to wear a ring made of Dharbham on his right hand ring finger. This is most essential, while performing all the rituals, such as Agni Santhanam, Thiru-Aaradhanam, all sorts of Havans known as Homam etc.

The count of leaves depends upon the function that is held viz. for some functions related to death only single leaf Dharbham is used; for auspicious and daily routine a ring made of two leaves is used; for inauspicious but not death related (i.e.AmavasyaTharppanam,Pithru Pooja etc) a three-leaf Dharbham ring is used. And for the Temple Prayer and Pooja, a four-leaf Dharbham ring is used.

Also, when a fire ritual known as Agni Santhana is performed, these Dharbham are spread all the four sides of the Agni Kundam. Also, during the Eclipse time, these Dharbham are used to cover all food items to protect them from the harmful ultra violet radiation.

Whenever any function is held, firstly they perform a site-cleansing act known as “Sudhhi Punyaahavachanam”. While reciting the selective versus, they hold the Dharbham bunch in their hand and
placing the tip point of it over the vessel containing water. Thus the recited vibration values are absorbed by water in the vessel through the Dharbham.

They found that the Holy Grass known as Dharbham has the highest value in conducting the phonetic vibrations through its tip. Later, they sprinkle the Holy water at every nook and corner of the place, where the function is held. A Dharbham without the tip is considered of no value, as the conductor-type value is lost in it.”

Our Rishis were of greater knowledge than today’s scientists , today’s science is struggling to understand the inventions of ancient Great Rishis..
“Let us save our ancient science and our great heritage ”

Prayer can do miracles: Pray, pray and pray…

Miracles and prayers goes hand-in-hand. Anything is possible with prayers. Read this beautiful forward and see how miracle happens.

Dr. Mark, a well-known cancer specialist, was once on his way to an important conference in another city, where he was going to be honoured by an award in the field of medical research. He was very excited to attend the conference and was desperate to reach as soon as possible. He had worked long and hard on his research and felt his efforts deserved the award he was about to obtain.

However, two hours after the plane took off, the plane made an emergency landing at the nearest airport due to some technical snag.
Afraid, that he wouldn’t make it in time for the conference, Dr. Mark, immediately went to the reception counter and found that the next flight to the destination was after ten hours.

The receptionist suggested him, to rent a car and drive down to the conference city which was only four hours drive.Having no other choice, he agreed to the idea, despite his hatred for driving long distances.

Dr. Mark rented a car and started the journey.However, soon after he started, the weather suddenly changed and a heavy storm began.
The pouring rain made it very difficult to see the road and missed a turn he was supposed to take. After two hours of driving, he was convinced, he was lost.

Driving in the heavy rain on a deserted road, feeling hungry and tired, he frantically began to look for any sign of civilization.After some time, he finally came across a small tattered house. Desperate, he got out of the car and knocked on the door.

A beautiful young lady opened the door.He explained the situation and asked her if he could use her telephone.However, the lady told him that she doesn’t have a phone or any electronic gadget but told him to come inside and wait till the weather improved.

Hungry, wet and exhausted, the doctor accepted her kind offer and walked in.The lady gave him hot tea and something to eat. He was feeling relaxed.The lady requested him to join her for prayer.

But, Dr. Mark smiled and said that he believed in hard work only and told her to continue with her prayers.Sitting on the chair,doctor watched the woman sitting in the dim light of candles as she prayed next to what appeared to be a small baby crib.

Every time she finished a prayer, she would start another one.Doctor felt that, the woman is in need of some help, and spoke to her as soon as she finished her prayers.The doctor asked her, what exactly she wanted from the God, and enquired if she thought God will ever listen to her prayers.
He further asked about the small child in the crib for whom she was apparently praying.

The lady gave a sad smile and said that the child in the crib is her
son who is suffering from a rare type of cancer and there is only one doctor named Mark, who can cure him but she doesn’t have money to afford his fees and moreover, Dr.Mark lives in another far off town.
She said that God will certainly answer her prayer one day and will create some way out one day and added that she will not allow her fears to overcome her faith.

Stunned and speechless Dr.Mark was in tears, which were rolling down his cheeks.

He whispered, God is great !!!!
He recollected the sequence of events:
there was malfunction in the plane, a thunderstorm hit,lost his way;
and all this happened, because, God not only just answer her prayers, but also gave him a chance to come out of materialistic world and spare some time to help the poor hapless people, who have nothing but rich prayers !!!

Always be prepared to do, What God has prepared you for…
“There are no accidental things in Life . Everything happens for a reason”.

The Fable of Porcupine : A great story for any family !!

Yet, another story to reassure : United we stand, divided we fall.

Forwarded by Velu || Source : Unknown

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold.
The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered & protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companion.

After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other & they began to die, alone & frozen. So they had to make a choice.
Either, accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together.

They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth & heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.

The best group is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others & can admire the other person’s good qualities.

Better to be surrounded by warm pricks than be frozen in solitude!!!!!!

Simple and smart ways to spot adulterated food

Generations back, everyone had their own backyard and everything was home grown which used no chemicals or any adulteration items.But now, be it milk, paneer, tea or oil, nothing comes in its purest form. Until the time it reaches you, it is adulterated and it then becomes harmful.. Read on these simple tricks and stay away from adulterated food..

Forwarded by : Lakshmi || Source : Unknown

Tea: The chai you are drinking isn’t coming straight away from the Assam fields.
Fake check: In order to check whether the chai powder is pure, put a teaspoon of it in cold water; if the cold water turns brown then your chai is adulterated!
Frozen peas/green peas: We stock frozen peas in our refrigerators because they come in handy. However, some packets consist of a dye compound called ‘malachite green’, which can trigger stomach related ailments.
Fake check: Take water in a kadhai and put some peas and stir. If the water turns green, then immediately discard the packet as they are unsafe to consume.
Cinnamon sticks: You can find out if you have bought authentic cinnamon sticks.
Fake check: Smash the sticks with your hands, if your hands get coloured then they are authenticate, if not then they aren’t.
Turmeric root: Even if you’re crushing the turmeric roots and consuming it, the roots can be fake.
Fake check: Take a turmeric root on paper and pour cold water over it. If the root leaves colour, it’s a polished one and is impure.
Apples: A polished apple will not keep you away from the doctor, but will take you to one. Did you know that apples are polished with wax to give them a ‘fresh’ look?
Fake check: To see if your apple isn’t wax covered, take a knife and slowly scrape the skin of your apple. If the knife extracts white, then that’s wax!
Black Pepper: Even pepper can be adulterated with mineral oil!
Fake check: An adulterated pepper would shine and emit kerosene smell.
Cumin seeds: Cumin seeds (jeera) are very essential part of cooking as we use it in our tadka daily. They can be coloured with charcoal dust.
Fake check: Crush the seeds in your palm, if your palm turns black then they contain charcoal.
Milk: Our milkman not only fools by adding water to it. Milk can be adulterated with detergent and synthetic milk too.
Fake check: Mix 10 ml of water and milk in the same proportion. If you notice foam or lather, then the milk contains detergent. To detect synthetic milk, boil the milk. If a yellowish lather forms, then the milk is synthetic milk.
Coriander powder: There could be sawdust in your coriander powder.
Fake check: Put some coriander powder in the water, the flakes of sawdust will float on water.
Coconut oil: Coconut oil can be adulterated with other cheap oils.
Fake check: Put the coconut oil bottle in refrigerator, the solidified layer is coconut oil, whereas the liquid oil is an adulterant.
Honey: To find granules of sugar is not a foolproof way to check the purity of honey.
Fake check: Take a cotton wick and dip it in honey. Then try to burn it. If the wick burns readily then the honey is pure, and if it crackles then it’s not.
Paneer: That paneer in your paneer mutter is not really paneer. It’s starch. Paneer is one of the most adulterated items in our country.
Fake check: Take water and put a cube of paneer and boil it. Once it cools down, put some drops of iodine solution on it. If the paneer turns blue, then the starch is present in it.
Chilli powder: Did you know you could be eating brick instead of chilli powder? That’s because crushed red brick looks exactly like chilli powder and therefore it is put in your masala.
Fake check: Put a teaspoon of chilli powder in a glass of water. If the solution emits colour then your chilli powder is adulterated.
