Re: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Debate] Silicon Valley Performance Enhancing Drug Vs Nap

Dear All,

Yoga exercise needs no expenses, no special equipment, no special space but one has to spare say 30 minutes
regularly, evening or morning, and the schedule can be something like this (I normally follow this):
1.
Squatting: 50
2.
A few warming postures like Parvatasan, followed by Shirshasana.
3.
Danda: 25 (similar to Suryanamaskar)
4.
5-10 postures: Sarvangasan, Shawasana, etc. (feasible and as per need).
5.
Omkars 5.
6.
Prayer in Samskit including Hanuman and Sarswati Strotra, Guru Bramha, reciting 10-15 saints' names followed
by Bhasrika and 5 Omkars, end session with Pranayama: Right Nostril: 1 (inhale):2 (retain):1 (exhale), Left
Nostril again !;2:1 pattern.
,
Patanjali wrote a treatise on "Patanjali Yoga Sutras" about 2500 years ago, a scientific (micro-psychology)
book leading to total evolution of human beings. It has 8 folds, the first four help attain integrated
personality development, useful for promoting healthy social climate and include Yama (values), Niyama
(rules, procedures and code of conduct), these two are abstract; next two postures and pranayama for mental
and body fitness exercise that include Asanas (more than 80), Mudra (like Dnyanmudra, Vyaghra), Bandha (like
Tribandha: pressure at neck, at naval and at anus with holding breath inside), Kriya (like Jalneti) and
several types of Pranayamas (breath control exercises). These four folds and remaining three Dhyan, Dharana
and Samadhi are connected by a bridge fifth fold called Pratyahar (dieting), un-learning 5 senses' (past)
habits/experiences and building of mind, and re-learning new trends for both senses and mind (retraining)
so as to help progress further on the path to Dhyan, etc.

See the attachment.

Regards.

Thanks for the note Dr.

I am sure there is a tremendous wealth of different yoga styles, techniques, approaches in India and this
confuses me.
Is there anything brief and practical, like the exercises mentioned in your note, for someone who would like
to do a bit yoga but is not interested in reading
volumes about it? Specifically, anything that may help eyesight?

Thanks and regards

Thanks to Prof. V Kumar for his say in the matter that is the same expressed by me. I have stated that
(drugs) addiction may turn to be fatal. It may at times improve concentration but at the cost of future
heavy loss, both mental and physical. Doing Yoga
(addiction so to say) as a habit is wonderful. But I am referring to only Dnyanmudra and Shavasana that
help relax our body and mind. In Dnyanmudra place a mind on the pulse of a thumb sitting in a squatted
posture, even 40 seconds feeling (concentration on)
the pulse is difficult, next moment some thought peeps in the feeling goes away, whereas in Shawsana one
has to lie down on back, relaxing all body organs, and placing sequencing mind on different organs, feeling
the mind movement in a systematic way from
say tow then fingers, knee, laps, heart, shoulders to head top. It is an attempt to reach to like a dead
body state. In both the cases breath movement plays a key role.I have been practicing these postures. For
example, if I am feeling pain in legs, sit on
the chair, let the legs touch the ground, and let the mind travel from tow to hips along with the
realization of breathing movement. Within 3-5 minutes one gets relaxed. There are different posture more
than 80, Mudra and Bandhas.One has to be selective for
such postures and to perform them for a few minutes say 30 minutes daily at the appointed hours and place
forming a habit. Now this habit becomes your nature and knowing or unknowingly you turn to your schedule. Is
it a sort of addiction, let me allow to
say so, but certainly positive.

Dear All,


Some thing is terribly wrong here! It is a myth that smoking/chewing(tobacco) or drugs will enhance brain
power! They
do exactly opposite effect!! All these drugs will destroy brain cells and have
adverse effect on brain power.


Aphethamine derivatives(like
adderall) do enhance wakefulness and improves one's concentration, however, they also have more side effects
than it is
usefullness
for normal people. They will be good for people with psycho-neurological problem, where it reduces their
excess
behaviour and help caretakers to manage them well. Opium was wonder drug once upon a time for many
pain and sleep related illnesses, but not nowadays.


Addiction is a disorder and it does not have any positive benefits.
it disturbs one's peace of mind, wellbeing and performance or may be others (like gambling, here,
addict does not feel disturbed, but his family goes through the impact).





Yoga does not have an addictive property! Even if you practice 10 hours a day (here, 10 hour practitioner
may have some other issues like compulsive
behaviours, which is unlikely!!)


A short nap or relaxation does wonder in performance enhancement.


Let us always be in the mode of critical thinking

It is true that many a times addiction
plays a major role in achieving
set goal. I have come across many students smoking/chewing something like tobacco while working at night
especially on PCs that promote their concentration, less fatigue prone. Addiction gives a sort of strength
or a
tedency
to our brain (neurons/ nervous system) and material of
body. This turns to be a habit. After all, neurons and body material are just materials subjected to their
own behavioral pattern called habits which can be changed with little bit mindful extra physical effort.





Addiction may lead to a permanent behavioral pattern,
later hard to change.
Hence one has to be wary before turning to be addicted. Some addictions may lead to fatal end. Drug
addiction is of this category affecting adversely both mental and physical
power. A few decades ago, it was a practice to give a very small dose of opium to a
kid so that it can be in
a addicted state, sleeping making mother free, but it affects the mental power of
kid making it dull!





Nap
is not an addiction. It is relaxation, stopping all actions,remaining still, in a peaceful, thoughtless
state, energizing oneself, drawing mind inwardly. Nap is a sort of productivity improvement tool.
Dnyanmudra, Shavasan are other tools that provide relaxation to human organs. But napping while on actual
operating a job is dangerous to man, machine and environment.

told
newspaper reportersthat, as someone who has worked with clients from Apple, Twitter, Facebook, Google and
Yahoo, he can attest that the Silicon Valley drug problem is real. And it's "a lot worse than what people
think because it's all covered up so well."


Do you support the employees should be allowed to have
few minutes nap at the work place as research suggests that event 10
minutes nap can enhance the performance manifold. Request Views…………..
