Enhancing Management of metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes mellitus throu...Yogacharya AB Bhavanani
Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani's invited presentation on "Enhancing Management of metabolic syndrome and Type 2 diabetes mellitus through Yoga" at Samanvaya – 2018, a National Conference on ‘Integrative Diabetology – Present Trend in Diabetes Care’ organised by Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education & Research, Kolar, Karnataka (SDUAHER), to update the recent trends in the field of integrative medicine and its integration with conventional care.
ABSTRACT: “Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,” said Rudyard Kipling. This dichotomy however seems to have been overcome in recent times, as many eastern healing traditions have slowly and steadily percolated the health care system worldwide. This is especially true of mind–body therapies that focus on the health promotive intrinsic connections that exist between the human brain, mind, body, and individual behaviour. This includes techniques of meditation (mantra meditation, mindfulness meditation, and others), qi gong, tai chi, and yoga.
This article appeared in the Annals of SBV 2014; 3 (1): 29-41.
Yoga as a mode of therapy has become extremely popular, and a great number of studies and systematic reviews offer scientific evidence of its potential in treating a wide range of psychosomatic conditions. Healthy life can be considered as a by-product of practicing yogic techniques since it has been observed that yoga practitioners are physically and mentally healthier and have better coping skills to stressors than the normal population. This review paper details some of the health promoting benefits of yoga as well as discusses the important cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and metabolic conditions in which it may have preventive, supportive, curative and rehabilitative potential. Role of yoga in stress, mental health, cancer, pregnancy and childhood are also detailed. Mechanisms for such beneficial physiological, biochemical and psychological effects are discussed. Psycho-neuro-endocrine changes including correction of GABAergic activity, and parasympathetic activation coupled with decreased reactivity of sympathoadrenal system and HPA axis are highlighted. Changes in the various evaluated parameters for different conditions are detailed and discussed with ample references. Though most studies and reviews suggest a number of areas where yoga may be beneficial, more research is required for virtually every one of them to establish their benefits conclusively. This is true in the process of introducing any new therapy into the modern health care system and is not surprising when we consider that the proper studies on yoga as a therapeutic modality are not older than a few decades. It is important to develop objective measures of various mind-body therapies and their techniques while including them in intervention trials. An overview is given of the lacunae present in the reviewed studies and suggestions given for improvements in future studies. In conclusion, we can say that yoga has preventive, promotive as well as curative potential and that a yogic lifestyle confers many advantages to the practitioner. Since lifestyle related diseases are alarmingly on the rise in our modern society, yogic lifestyle that is cost effective and relatively safe, should be given a special place in preventing and managing these diseases.
We need to give more importance to our health and the treatment of diseases. A big number of medicines treat only the symptoms of the disease, and not the base cause. As a matter of fact, the cause of a lot of chronic ailments is still being researched.
It's here that Yoga therapy comes to our aid. Yoga stresses treatment of the base cause of an ailment. It works in a slow, subtle and marvelous manner.
Modern medicine may claim to save a life at a vital stage, but, for pure recovery and recovering of normal health, one should look into in the efficiency of Yoga therapy.

Introduction: Yoga is an applied science that re-establishes the lost balance by enriching our mind. It is a classical Indian form that creates a dynamic connectivity between body, mind and soul. Yoga helps one age better and improves flexibility and strength of the body through simple practices. Mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life and create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Research Findings: Yoga practice increases hippocampus gray matter volume in non-demented elderly. Comprehensive lifestyle intervention was associated with significant increase in telomere length and improved telomerase activity. A review included all studies of Yoga with older adults and concluded that there were trends toward improvement in strength, balance, gait and flexibility in older adults participating in Yoga. Interventions that are more holistic and comprehensive can address multiple aspects of health in well-being at the same time. Contribution of Yogic Practices in Old Age: Yogic practices aim at maintaining and improving the various motor skills and preserve physical, mental and social well-being in the seniors. The effort in trying to achieve the pose helps them gain the benefit which is of primary importance. Yoga is beneficial in prevention and control of common health and emotional problems that are linked with old age creating a positive approach in life. Conclusion: Old age can be made not only bearable but also pleasurable as it is not a matter of years but a condition of mind and Yoga brings a healthy state of mind. The simple yet immensely beneficial effects of Yoga slow down or even reverse the ageing process. Yoga may not only add a few years to life but also may add life to the years.

Modern medical advancements provide the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques including Yoga to promote healing, health, and longevity.

The antiquity of Yoga must be united with the innovations of modern medicine to improve quality of life throughout the world.
Lifestyle is the way people live and this has immense influence on the status of health or disease. Since one’s lifestyle is developed early in life, it is advisable to cultivate healthy lifestyle in early childhood. Many factors determine one’s lifestyle. Economic status determines incidence of under-nutrition in poor and obesity in the rich. Cultural values of the society dictate the dietary preferences in the population. Sedentary life is a major factor for coronary artery disease while personal habits like smoking and alcoholism determine the incidence of heart disease and cirrhosis of liver. Exercise, healthy diet and rest and relaxation are important components of lifestyle.
Yoga is the most perfect lifestyle module as it is comprehensive and holistic in its nature. Yogic lifestyle including diet, attitudes and various techniques help strengthen and develop positive health thus enabling us to withstand stress better. This Yogic “health insurance” is achieved by normalizing the perception of stress, optimizing the reaction to it and by releasing the pent up stress effectively through various Yogic practices. Yoga is a wholistic and integral science of life dealing with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of the individual and society.

Meditation Increases happiness. Scientists at the University of Wisconsin reported that people newly trained in meditation have shown an increase in electrical activity in the left frontal part of the brain, an area associated with positive emotion and happiness.
Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani's talk for the World Yoga Festival 2020 Sunday afternoon sessions held on 19 July 2020 .
Yoga is the original mind body medicine and is one of the greatest treasures of the unique Indian cultural heritage. As both an art and science it has a lot to offer humankind in terms of an understanding of both the human mind as well as all aspects of our multilayered existence. Yogic lifestyle, Yogic diet, Yogic attitudes and various Yogic practices help man to strengthen himself and develop positive health thus enabling him to withstand stress better. This Yogic “health insurance” is achieved by normalizing the perception of stress, optimizing the reaction to it and by releasing it effectively through various practices. Yoga is truly a wholesome and integral science of life that deals with multidimensional aspects of health in both the individual and society.
Yoga helps us to take the appropriate attitude towards our challenges and thus tackle them effectively and efficiently. “To have the will (iccha shakti) to change (kriya shakti) that which can be changed, the strength to accept that which cannot be changed, and the wisdom (jnana shakti) to know the difference” is the attitude that needs to the cultivated. An attitude of letting go of the worries, the problems and a greater understanding of our mental process helps to create a harmony in our body, and mind whose disharmony is the main cause of ‘aadi – vyadhi’ or psychosomatic disorders.
“Health and happiness are your birthright, claim them and develop them to your maximum potential” (Giri, 1995). This message of Swamiji Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj is a firm reminder that the goal of human existence is not health and happiness but is moksha (liberation). Most people today are so busy trying to find health and happiness that they forget why they are here in the first place. Yoga is the best way for us to regain our birthrights and attain the goal of our human existence.
Embark on a holistic journey with yoga: enhance physical fitness, reduce stress, foster emotional balance, improve focus, and build a supportive community. Experience the transformative power of Queens yoga.

Cultivating Strength,
Balance, and Flexibility:
Yoga Is Meditation
As you have probably gathered by now, -~nging mindfulnes~o
any activity transforms it into a kind of meditation. Mindfulness
dramatically amplifies the probability that any activity in which you
are engaged will result in an expansion of your perspective and of
your understanding of who you are. Much of the practice is simply
a remembering, a reminding yourself to be fully awake, not lost in
waking sleep or enshrouded in the veils of your thinking mind.
Intentional practice is crucial to this process because the automatic-
pilot mode takes over so quickly when we forget to remember.
I like the words remember and remind because they imply
connections that already exist but need to be acknowledged anew.
To remember, then, can be thought of as reconnecting with mem-
bership, with the set to which what one already knows belongs. That
which we have forgotten is still here, somewhere within us. It is
access to it that is temporarily veiled. What has been forgotten needs
to renew its membership in consciousness. For instance, when we
"re-member" to pay attention, to be in the present, to be in our
body, we are already awake right in that moment of remembering.
The membership completes itself as we remember our wholeness.
The same can be said for reminding ourselves. It reconnects us
with what some people call "big mind," with a mind of wholeness, a
mind that sees the whole forest as well as individual trees. Since we
are always whole anyway, it's not that we have to do anything. We
just have to "re-mind" ourself of it.
I believe that a major reason why the people in the stress clinic
take so quickly to the meditation and find it healing is that the
94
YOGA IS MEDITATION 95
practice of mindfulness reminds them of what they already knew
but somehow didn't know they knew or weren't able to make use of,
namely that they are already whole.
We remember wholeness so readily because we don't have far
to look for it. It is always within us, usually as a vague feeling or
memory left over from when we were children. But it is a deeply
familiar memory, one you recognize immediately as soon as you feel
it again, like coming home after being away a long time. When you
are immersed in doing without being centered, it feels like being
away from home. And when you reconnect with being, even for a
few moments, you know it immediately. You feel like you are at
home no matter where you are and what problems you face.
Part of the feeling in such moments is that you are at home in
your body too. So it is a little peculiar that the English language
doesn't allow us to "rebody" ourselves. It.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
