Dana, Azeem (2021): Consciousness and Cognitive Process - A Case Study on Rajyoga and its effect on Neuroses.. figshare. Preprint. https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.16944064.v2

Abstract
“Eyes are windows of the Soul” (Shakespeare, 1609, Sonnet 46).  That which is seen in the eye, that is the Self (Sages, 1947, Chandogya Upanishad, p.124).  Self or Soul is the source of Consciousness and is Consciousness itself.  It is this Consciousness who experiences Awareness through the five senses by intention, attention, memory, attitude and behaviour.  A case study, the practice of an individual, deeply analysed, understood for more than 35years, applied to prevent and overcome neuroses is explained here with an attempt to know how Consciousness plays different roles in a human being’s cognitive process and how it affects Neurotic symptoms.  It is explained how Indian and Western Psychology understand consciousness and its application in real life.  The Case study proves that when the role of Consciousness and its physical location is understood, it would benefit enhancing the cognition capability of an individual in concentration, problem solving, creativity and modifying behaviour reducing anxiety, stress, depression and  protects from Non Communicable Life- style Diseases.

Dr. Abdul Kalam's Research and the proven Simple Secrets for Health Care

The main hypothesis was by adapting a healthy lifestyle of low fat high fibre vegetarian diet, moderate exercise and stress management through Rajyoga meditation, we can decrease load on the heart which in turn should reverse or halt the disease process. Similarly there are many types of meditation, which may suit certain groups of people. It has been recognized that keeping mind and body busy through good work is another way of Yoga.

Life Style Intervention

The life style given to these patients was very simple and rudimentary. In fact, they received a traditional Indian diet having lots of fibre, fruits and sprouts which I understand was a staple diet of every Indian family about five decades ago. The exercise given was simple; a brisk walk both in the morning and evening hours. The major component of the intervention was stress management through meditation. The main efforts were to empower patients with information and education on heart disease and how they themselves can control or reverse it.

Like any medical treatment a visibly marked improvement in cardiac health of these patients could be seen within seven days of the commencement of the intervention. Their requirement of drugs prescribed by their cardiologists decreased markedly. The symptoms of chest pain and uneasiness reduced. Their capacity to exercise improved dramatically. I understand that after six months of intervention some of the patients were even able to take to swimming. The so-called bad cholesterol, stress hormones profile improved noticeably. The psychological or mental health showed considerable improvement.

The heartbeat became very rhythmic and natural. The brain waves especially the Alpha that I understand are an indicator of mental tranquility increased dramatically. In fact, the increased Alpha waves could be recorded both during eye closed and eye open conditions suggesting that while they were doing their routine work mental tranquility was well maintained.

When their angiographies were repeated the control group showed an increase in artery blockage whereas the group, which received life style intervention, showed a substantial decrease in artery blockage. Thus, this experiment clearly gives us ample evidence to confirm our hypothesis about the efficacy of lifestyle intervention in promoting sustainable healthy hearts.

Replication of Experiments

However, I would suggest that the specialists gathered at this Congress should extend this experiment to their establishments in their countries so that what benefit a limited number of people have got today can be shared by the entire universe. This will definitely lead to savings in billions of dollars of expenditure as a large number of diseases are now well recognized to be due to faulty lifestyles. Also, the savings added to the well being of the people can result in faster development due to enhanced availability of healthy human resource and additional funds.

Now I would like to address all the doctors. When a patient comes to a doctor, he considers and accepts doctor as Godly person. He accepts that. Now imagine, when you treat that person, when you are treating a person, he get number of people from his family and friends to see the patient. As a doctor you spread the information, you tell his friends, you tell his relatives, how your relative got a heart problem because of the following reasons. So I will suggest these are the schedule of three dimensional schedules he should follow. If you spread this information, that will be the best teaching. You will become a teacher, not only a doctor, you should be a teacher also. They will believe you because you are treating the man or women. You agree? Yes or no?

On this occasion let me wish you success in your mission of removing the pain of the people by adapting the preventive strategy and giving a simple solution of healthy life style to the ailing humanity.

May God bless you.

Elevating Consciousness for Healing by being a Detached Observer - "How and Why" as spoken by J.Krishnamurti

Elevating Consciousness for Healing by being a Detached Observer - "How and Why" as spoken by J.Krishnamurti

How being an observer overcomes fear, anxiety, addictions and strong emotions: Is it ok to quarrel, have strong emotions and accept it as part of life ? Emotions and attachment are me, not separate from me. I cannot act on it/me but observe. When I act, there is suppression or interference. When I observe, there is full attention and there is no attachment or action or diversion of energy: https://youtu.be/5YIwmdXfxe4


Is it that we are afraid of Loneliness - being a detached observer?https://youtu.be/MS9r2_fUtWM


Difference between thinking and observing - Looking at the world without words but with full attention - beyond time : https://youtu.be/kswDO60A3h8


What is meditation? Why do we do meditation? Is it for parapsychological experience or superconscious experience or to repeat mantra or to experience illusions or neuroses or natural self awareness free of chattering or corrupt spiritually by listening to others for being silent? Or is it listening without resistance on self discovery to become naturally quiet being a self-scientist (self-observer) with self-interest (motivation)https://youtu.be/s9IS1zW6In4


What is Raja Yoga? To lead a high moral life - true ethical life. Balanced life, Clear thinking, doing right things with active mind. Yoga is not breathing or exercises. None of them have awakened Kundalini but had some experiences. The different kind of energy, keeping the mind young and fresh come when there is no sense of self of inner conflicts. When there is no struggle, there is a different kind of energyhttps://youtu.be/chPBmSzvStQ


Detached Observer: Observer is the Observed. Observer is always active when there is a difference. When both are same, there is no action or fear. There is awareness, there is a quality of attention when listener and listening is same, there is a newness, fresh quality for the mind. The close observation is the meditation. Thought creates time and time that creates fear. When there is end of psychological time (not real time), there is newness. Free the mind from fear to deal with the complex situations. What is mind? Mind is a response to memory and Mind is an alert state of awareness - discovery - freedom (Consciousness) when there is no memory. Religious mind is that which is no longer seeking, no longer demanding experiences, not caught in visions and it is active in totally different dimension which thought can never possibly reach. When one realizes this, thought never has a place at all freed from ugly little sentiments and emotions to function normally, healthily, sanely with the mind that is not cluttered up by thoughts.

 

Revolution in self will bring in a better society. As long as one is dependent (of LSD or doing something) one is in despair. Discover the process of knowing one's self which is the end of all misery. : https://youtu.be/_3FnVT_bOKY

AN INEXPENSIVE SUBSTITUTE FOR OXYGEN THERAPY

AN INEXPENSIVE SUBSTITUTE FOR OXYGEN THERAPY
https://jamanetwork.com › journals › jama › fullarticle

Crewe JE. BRINGING OUTSIDE AIR INSIDE: AN INEXPENSIVE SUBSTITUTE FOR OXYGEN THERAPY. JAMA. 1936;107(14):1125. doi:10.1001/jama.1936.92770400001011

Abstract
For many years, in cases of pneumonia or tuberculosis, and in a few cases of advanced cardiac diseases, I have used with excellent results the apparatus that is here described. The apparatus consists essentially of a small blower and a pipe about 2 inches in diameter. The blower is attached to an aperture in a board of adjustable length, so made that it can be fitted beneath a raised window. The pipe extends from the blower to near the patient's face. The middle portion of the pipe is rigid but can be made of adjustable length. To this portion of the pipe is attached a cord and counterweight. The cord runs through a hook or pulley that can be screwed into the ceiling or into an overhead frame. The ends of the pipe are flexible. Thus, the pipe can be hung in any convenient position.

The purpose of the apparatus, obviously is to supply gently moving outdoor air directly to the patient. In extremely cold weather, the patient chest is adequately protected and sometimes a woollen cap is worn. but it is rare for patients to complain of the cold air. They obtain so much relief from it that they object to having the air supply discontinued.

The chief advantage of the apparatus is that it can be used where oxygen is not available because of problem of transportation or of expense. The other advantage is that the atmosphere in the patient's room can be kept in a comfortable temperature and he lies or sits with his movements unhampered. by heavy bed clothes or a tent. Moreover it is sad to say that in many dwellings of our country the patient does not have a room to himself. In fact a large family must live in  one or two rooms. In such cases the atmosphere of the room must be kept warm in winter and is vitiated by heating stoves and by the breathing of other members of the family.

Those physicians those who practice in rural districts which have been hard hit in recent years will appreciate the circumstances which first suggested me an apparatus of the sort that has been described. I was called to see a child aged 5 years, who had pneumonia. The child was cyanotic and the air in the small, tightly closed home was very bad because of the crowded condition of the house and the  fumes from a kerosene stove. The outdoor temperature was 20F. I asked the father to find , if possible , a piece of 3 or 4 inch pipe. He was fortunate in finding an old boiler flue about 7 feet long. A hole, large enough to admit the pipe, was cut in  a board and the board was fitted snugly into a partly opened window. The cold air was rushed in and almost at once the cyanosis disappeared. The simple apparatus was used until the child recovered.

Since then, on occasions, I have reverted to this crude apparatus. For instance, in homes where electricity has not been available to operate the blower, I have used rain spout or any other pipe that could be procured and have fitted elbows to the external end of the pipe to catch the prevailing wind.

In one case, during an extremely hot spell, a patient aged 75 years, who had pneumonia, was experiencing great difficulty in breathing. With all windows open and several fans running, he was not relieved. The pipe was attached to a window, all other windows were closed, and as spray from a garden hose was directed past the inlet of the pipe. At once the breeze of cool, moist, outdoor air that was directed near the patient's face gave much relief from air hunger. After that experience I attached to the inlet of the pipe an automobile hot water heater and caused cold water to circulate through it.

Considerable experience over many years has convinced me that, by the methods described, most patients can be given all the oxygen they require, in nature's own mixture. Recently the apparatus was exhibited at the meeting of the Minnesota State Medical Association and attracted favourable interest, particularly among rural practitioners.

The Story of Attention & Suffering - the Principles of Healing with Attention by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

The Story of Attention & Suffering - the Principles of Healing with Attention by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Link: https://youtu.be/-WksoSu29zQ


Coordination between mind and body results in health.

Abnormality of function is due to abnormal coordination. When soul leaves the body there is no 100% coordination and hence the body decay.

Partial or lack of coordination leads to disease.

When there is attention, the coordination increases, there is more life energy and hence abnormality is eliminated.

If Executive never attends office or shop, the business begins to decay. Attention in all aspects improves whole business.

For the factory of the body, when the soul never gives attention, the organ starts crying.

When there is no attention, there is suffering to pull attention. When mind/soul starts giving attention, healing happens.

Attention of the mother strengthening the spirit of the child.

Bring the attention to the suffering organ to eliminate the abnormal function.

When we are meditating, we bring the attention from gross to subtle to transcendental to omnipresent.

Through meditation, When there is attention in all types of personality (gross and subtle nervous system), all gross and subtle layers will fuction very effectively. This is more than coordination between mind and body.

In meditation, there is not just attention, we create a situation that all gross and subtle organ system start fuctioning effectively. When we meditate, there is no need to focus on body but infinite.

When there is infinite(unlimited) awareness, the attention flows to all levels of body. The body opens to infinite spontaneously bringing attention to affected parts of the body.

Allowing the whole system function efficiently happens in meditation.

If a leaf begins to dry, it is a signal for the decay of whole tree, like petal to flower. When the Gardener starts attending to each leaf, it becomes impossible to bring life energy to every parts of tree or flower. There should be a method to connect with all organs.

If there is weakness in a limb, it is also associated with every part of the body. For such cases, Yoga Asanas-simple postures will help coupled with meditation which energizes the system from within.

We need to take care of body from physical, mental and gain energy from spiritual.

The Deep Secrets of Spiritual Effort by Dadi Gulzar and Dadi Janki.

The Deep Secrets of Spiritual Effort

The Deep Secret of Spiritual Effort: https://youtu.be/jUoGbHb3Wt0


1. The Stages of Spiritual Effort:

Beginning Soul Conscious stage is to experience peace, love and bliss.

At present (later stage) is to have the stage of world Benefactor in addition to Soul conscious stage.


2. Jwalamukhi stage is to transform the sanskars of self and others with the stage of light and might house.


3. Seed Stage is to be in essence without going into expansion.

To perform action being in Seed Stage to make the action powerful. If we dont remain in seed stage, we go into expansion.

Jwala mukhi stage pulls others attention towards it.

The main effort is to become soul conscious. 


4. Body-less stage is to get lost in deep sweet silence combined with God's love.

First, the soul become silent, there is power to detach and withdraw. In body-less stage, we are at home (paramdham).

In sweet and deep silence, we dont realize how much time had  elapsed and we become free from body. This create a good influence - vibration. It will help people forget sorrow.

Even just a minute/second of silence will spread its effect  for a long time and  throughout the day it would keep pulling you.

I am not mind. Mind belongs to me. I am the master of the mind.


5. Four Types of Thoughts: Positive, Negative, Waste and Ordinary.

The speed of waste thoughts is fast. Negative thoughts is poison and it needs to be transformed immediately.

There are 1. Positive and 2. Negative thoughts. 3. Waste thoughts depletes lot of energy. 

You receive energy when you never have waste thoughts. Positive thinking generates power.

Never remember own body or any other person.

Even 4. Ordinary thoughts by listening or speaking never make you great. The greatness become far distant. Ordinary thoughts lead you to waste thoughts.


6. Language of Eyes:

Our stage, vibration, feelings and attitude reflect in our language of eyes.

Rishis and Munis calm down even wild animals with drishti and our eyes with God's attainments and powers create wonders.


7. Power of Silence:

There is a difference between silence of subtle world and silence of Paramdham.

We need to taste-experience the silence of paramdham being here, to find the path of Home (soul world).

The power - current comes from soul world. Lightness comes from meeting Baba in subtle world.

There should not be leniency in my spiritual effort at any point of time. There should be constant attention.

Without the experience of deep silence of soul world, it is difficult to experience company of God (Baba) in subtle world and help others to come closer to Baba.

We become subtle by experiencing deep silence and by having company of God (Baba) in subtle world, then it becomes natural nature.

We have to do it. Not that we will do it or see about it.
