The document discusses the concept of kundalini in Hindu traditions and other spiritual traditions. Kundalini is described as a mysterious energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine, and when awakened, rises up the spine through chakras, purifying the body. Its awakening can cause involuntary body movements and experiences as it rises and opens the chakras. Its rising also initiates a spiritual purification process as it moves through subtle energy channels in the body, releasing stored trauma from the subconscious mind. This process can be distressing without guidance or understanding of what is occurring.
This document provides an overview of the tantric concept of Kundalini. It describes Kundalini as the coiled female cosmic energy that exists latently within all humans and the universe. The goal of Kundalini yoga according to tantric practice is to awaken this inner energy and cause it to unite with Shiva, achieving liberation. It discusses the chakras or energy centers located along the spine where Kundalini rises through during its awakening. The document outlines some key tantric texts and concepts regarding Kundalini, such as its symbolization as a sleeping serpent and the nadis or subtle energy channels in the body.
The document provides an introduction to The Essential Patanjali Yoga Sutras. It explains that the text selects 74 sutras out of 196 that are most practical for meditators. It was written in a narrative form for ease of reading and to make the difficult concepts more comprehensible. The text is meant for sincere seekers who want to use the sutras as a tool to deepen their meditation practice, rather than for intellectual debate. Readers are advised to print it out and read it before bed to slowly integrate the teachings into the unconscious mind.

UNDERSTANDING THE YOGA DARSHAN
(An exploration of the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi Patanjali)
Yogacharya Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani
The yoga tradition is pan-universal and para-universal in its perspective. In this ancient art and science of right living, reverence is one of the most important qualities required in any sincere aspirant. Without reverence it is difficult to value “that” which we have and “that” which we have been given. It is difficult to understand how blessed we are if we choose not to realize it. The shat darshan are not just mere, philosophical perspectives of the dynamic universe but are a reverential witnessing of the Divine Universal Nature. All aspects of yoga are sacred, not in a limited religious sense but in an unlimited spiritual one. All aspects of yoga need to be respected. It is only when we have such an attitude of respectful love, profound interest, that we can become a yoga bhakta. Then, and then only, will we be fit for these teachings of the highest nature. Any attempt to explore the Yoga Sutra of Maharishi Patañjali must spring from an attitude of respect, reverence and love for these teachings. If that is absent, then one may as well as be reading any common magazine or newspaper instead. The place, the time and the frame of mind will enable us to develop the right attitude, the universal beatitude towards these elevating teachings. This reverence would be completely lost if we choose to treat them like other mundane information or data. What attitude will you choose? The choice you make determines whether or not the treasure house of the Yoga Sutra opens its doors to you or not!

Man is constantly searching for happiness and peace of mind, but this search never ends as he remains dissatisfied even when achieving objectives. While we are all created with a purpose, few realize it as their focus is often on material pleasures and gains. Living without purpose will certainly lead to peril, as one who does not serve a purpose will be ignored by society. The real purpose of human existence is to use our mind, body and skills to help others, which research shows improves mental health and feelings of gratitude.
In learning how to manage the mind, it is important to understand the nature of the mind, otherwise known as consciousness, and how it arises.
The Buddha taught that consciousness is not something permanent that always exists. Consciousness is something that arises at each of the internal sense bases (ayatana) dependent on causes and conditions, and passes away when the causes and conditions cease.(The six internal sense bases are the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind.)
For example, eye consciousness arises dependent on the eyeand visual form. We can use a simple metaphor to illustrate this mechanism. Think of the eye as the head of a matchstick, form as the side of a matchbox. Eye-consciousness is like the flame that results when the head of the matchstick strikes the side of the matchbox, or when the eye and visual form strike each other. The meeting of the three – eye, form, and eye-consciousness – is what is known as “contact” (phassa). With contact as condition, feeling (vedana) arises. With feeling as condition, craving (tanha) arises. This is how suffering originates.
The key point to understand is that consciousness (vinnana or citta) and the mental factors or mental concomitants (cetasika) which arise with it, are the result of the meeting of internal sense bases and sensory stimuli or input(also known as external sense bases). Thus, it is possible to influence or “manage” the mind by managing the sensory input it receives.
Another essential principle to remember is that a wholesome mind, ie. a mind with wholesome mental factors, cannot arise at the same time as an unwholesome mind, that is, a mind with unwholesome metal factors. At any one time, the mind can either be wholesome or unwholesome.
It is thus important to create the causes for the wholesome mind to arise as often as possible because otherwise the unwholesome mind will arise.
The document discusses how science and spirit merge in the coaching process, noting that coaching models should access a client's subconscious, conscious, and superconscious minds to find innovative solutions and create permanent positive change at the cellular level by changing limiting beliefs. Quantum physics and epigenetics are referenced to explain how thoughts and environment influence our cells, genes, and future.
This document provides an introduction to the principles of successful living. It discusses that these principles are universal truths that exist independently of human beliefs and can be discovered and used to improve one's life. The principles are not unique to any particular group, religion, or time period. Chapter 1 notes that the teachings should be viewed scientifically and tested through application rather than blind faith. The basic theory presented is that a universal mind exists both surrounding and within humans, and that when a person thinks, their thoughts set a universal spiritual law in motion to materialize what they think.
In our day-to-day personal and inter-personal social life, Yoga has given us multitudes of tools, concepts, attitudes and techniques through which we can attain inner contentment leading to happiness and spiritual realization while simultaneously creating harmony in all relationships. All psycho-social qualities essential for healthy inter-personal relationships are cultivated when we live a life of Yoga that is in tune with the eternal Dharma.

Ra Uru Hu dedicated the last 25 years of his life to educating people about Human Design and passed away in 2011, leaving behind an archive of his works to continue sharing the system.

10 Good Reasons Why You Should MeditateOH TEIK BIN
Meditation provides many benefits such as reducing stress, improving concentration, and developing compassion. It allows you to observe your thoughts and actions with more awareness. While the modern world causes high levels of anxiety, meditation gives the mind a break from constant thinking. It teaches us to be present rather than multi-tasking. The Buddhist teachings explain that our personality consists mainly of mental aspects like feelings, perceptions, and consciousness. Therefore, we must care for our mental health as much as our physical health by practicing meditation to train the mind in wholesome qualities and reduce unwholesome tendencies like greed, hatred, and delusion.

Chris feels fulfilled in his career as a welder and has worked through childhood traumas through counseling. He keeps most people at a distance due to trust issues but deeply cares for close friends and family. He struggles with the past, present and future but tries to live in the moment. Chris prioritizes health, self-improvement and learning despite not enjoying reading much. While their beliefs differ, the interview process was insightful for both of them.

This document summarizes the myth of Osiris from Egyptian mythology. It discusses how Osiris was killed by his brother Set out of jealousy. It then describes how Isis reassembled Osiris' body and conceived their son Horus. The myth is used as an allegory to reflect on aspects of human psychology, asking how the characters like Osiris, Set, and Isis represent parts of oneself and one's inner journey.
The document outlines seven distinctions of a powerful individual: integrity, being racket free, being powerful, being courageous, being peaceful, being charismatic, and being enrolling. For each distinction, it lists an action and giving up something as ways to embody that distinction. The document was created by E-Cube India Pvt. Ltd. on February 22, 2020.
Dance movement therapy uses movement and dance to address emotional, cognitive, physical, and social needs. It helps individuals express themselves nonverbally and release suppressed feelings. This allows negative feelings to be released rather than stored in the body, bringing a sense of healing. The therapy can be used preventatively or for destressing, and in group settings helps with opening up, sharing, understanding others, and building confidence. It provides a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals to move in their own unique ways. The document focuses on using dance movement therapy to help women, who often neglect their own needs while caring for their families, restore self-esteem and engage in simple self-care activities.
This document discusses the importance of setting goals and provides guidance on how to set SMART goals. It explains that goals provide direction and motivation, and can be applied to personal, financial, health, relationship and career areas. Well-defined goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound are more likely to be accomplished. Setting smaller sub-goals and celebrating progress can help achieve larger goals. Overcoming challenges like a lack of skills or motivation requires exploring resources, stretching abilities, using rewards and feedback, and changing one's perspective to view failures as learning experiences.
This document discusses connecting to one's body for health and happiness. It explains that connecting to the body through practices like grounding, experiencing sensations and feelings, and staying present can help transform negative experiences, build resilience, and improve focus, activities, clarity and well-being.

The document discusses the differences between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. A fixed mindset views skills as innate and unchanging, leads one to avoid challenges and feedback, and sees setbacks as discouraging. A growth mindset believes skills can be developed through effort, embraces challenges and feedback to improve, and views setbacks as opportunities to learn and make changes. The growth mindset is key to continual progress through developing one's skill set and embracing challenges, effort, feedback, and setbacks.

This document discusses creativity and how to recognize and encourage creativity within oneself. It defines creativity as doing something different, having new ways of thinking and being the creator within.

This document discusses Vibhishana, the youngest son of Kaikesi and Sage Vishrava and younger brother of Ravana. It describes how Vibhishana, unlike his brother Ravana, chose to oppose his kin and side with Rama when Ravana strayed from the path of Dharma. As a result, when Rama's reign ended, he ordered Vibhishana to stay on earth and serve the people by guiding them to the path of truth and Dharma, making Vibhishana one of the seven immortals. The document encourages reflection on being habitually loyal, knowing right from wrong, and acting accordingly.
Intergenerational trauma can be passed down through families over multiple generations. Trauma affects the body and nervous system, and can lead to various physical and psychological symptoms, even appearing years later. Recent research shows trauma can be transmitted epigenetically to following generations. Healing involves understanding one's core trauma and entanglements within the family system, using techniques like family constellations, psychodrama, and somatic experiencing to work through patterns of suffering that have been passed down. Acknowledging one's feelings and experiences is key to taking full charge of life and healing from generational trauma.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

15. the most miraculous thing in this existence in
terms of instruments, is not the computer, car or
spacecraft, but the human mind.
It is the most miraculous thing if only
“we could use it consciously”
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 15
16. For most people, the mind has turned into a
‘misery-manufacturing unit’, which is simply
because we have not studied its ‘user’s manual’,
the mind has the fantastic quality of remembering
things and projecting them into the future, which
people rarely use- Law of Attraction
Men and women are simply damaging their minds
through the way we live - like the way we sit and eat.
If one uses two per cent of the capacity of one’s mind
and brain one could become super successful in life
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 16
26. The element of a person that enables them to be
aware of the world and their experiences, to think,
and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought.
The mind is the set of cognitive faculties that enables
consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, and
memory.
The mind is the faculty of man's reasoning and
thoughts.
Mind is the software while brain is the hardware
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 26
27. In the yogic understanding, there are 16
dimensions to the human mind.
These 16 dimensions fall into four categories.
These four categories are known as
buddhi, manas, ahankara, and chitta.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 27
28. Buddhi is the intellect – the logical dimension of
thought.
Modern education systems and modern sciences
have largely limited themselves to buddhi.That
is a buddhu (foolish) way of existence.
What is in the brain is intellect, not intelligence.
Intelligence and memory are right across your
body.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 28
29. Manas has many layers to it.
Manas is not just the brain – it is right across the body.
Every cell in the body has a phenomenal memory – not just of this
life but of millions of years.
Our body clearly remembers how our forefathers were a million
years ago.
Top to bottom, there is manas – this is called manomaya kosha.
In every cell in the body, there is memory and intelligence, but no
intellect. Intellect is only in the brain.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 29
30. The intellect directly connects with the third
dimension of our mind, called ahankara.
Ahankara is sometimes translated as ego,
It is much more than that. Ahankara gives
one a sense of identity.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 30
31. Chitta is mind without memory – pure intelligence.
This intelligence is like the cosmic intelligence – simply
there. Everything happens because of that.
It does not function out of memory – it simply functions.
In a way, what we call cosmos is a living mind, not in the
sense of intellect but in the sense of chitta.
Chitta is the last point of the mind. It connects to the basis
of creation within you.
It connects us with our consciousness.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 31
32. When people touch this dimension of the mind, it is
called ishwara pranidhana in yoga.
This means God becomes your slave – he works for you.
You know, yogis say, “Shiva is my servant. He does
everything for me.”
Once you know how to consciously access your chitta,
everything that is needed will simply happen in the best
possible way.
If we go by our intellect or our buddhi, today we think “this
is it,” tomorrow morning we think “that is it” – like this it
goes on endlessly.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 32
33. Chit Shakti is about touching the dimension of our mind
that is pure intelligence – unsullied by memory, unsullied
by identification.
It is beyond ahankara, beyond buddhi, beyond judgment,
beyond divisions – simply there, just like the intelligence
of existence that makes everything happen.
If we access this, we do not have to worry about what
happens or what does not happen.
It will happen in a way that we never imagined possible.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 33
34. Once we have access to your chitta, it is also a multi-pointed
telescope.
It makes us see things that no one else can see – in every direction.
It is our crystal ball.
It is a magnifying glass that brings the very core of life close to us.
The moment we start looking at life through your chitta, where
there is no memory, there is no karmic substanceand no division.
Suddenly, the Divine is right there, bang on, in our face all the
time. We cannot miss it.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 34
35. The idea of Chit Shakti is not to keep asking for things.
The idea is that if the physical arrangements of life happen
easily, one can dedicate more time for our spiritual
wellbeing.
It would be stupid if just because it happens easily, first we
want to be a millionaire, then we want to be a billionaire.
The main intention is that our physical life happens more
easily, that it does not take our entire time to handle it, so
that we will have time to close our eyes and sit.We must
make use of it for this purpose only.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 35
36. A few hundred years ago, only 5-10% of people had mental
problems.
Others only had physical problems. Even today, in the villages,
most people only have physical problems, not mental problems.
But generally, in the last few generations, people have had more
mental problems than physical problems, because they use their
mind more than they use their body.
This is a big shift for humanity. Until 100 or 200 years ago, human
beings used their body much more than their mind.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 36
37. The way our education system is structured, it will
invariably lead to disturbed minds.
A child is going from reading poetry to mathematics –
both are connected, but there is no one to make the
connection.
From mathematics, they go to music – both are
connected, but there is no one to make the connection.
From music, they go to chemistry – they are connected,
but there is no one to make the connection, because the
music department and the chemistry department do not
get along.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 37
38. Everything is taught in disjointed ways because
after all, no one is studying with a passion to
know.
Everyone is studying to pass the examination
and get a job.
This is a very destructive way of educating
yourself and a pathetic way to live.
But no matter how senseless it is, the majority of
people in the world have chosen to live like that.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 38
39. We are culturing human minds in a completely wrong way.
Then how can we expect them to be peaceful and blissful?
It will not work. Unless you do the right things, right things
will not happen to you.
If our body is not at ease simply sitting here, obviously,
something is not okay with it, even if you are medically
certified as normal.
It was surprising to know that according to the medical
textbooks in the United States, going to the toilet twice a
week is considered normal
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 39
40. According to yogic culture, we must go to the toilet twice
a day, because excreta should not remain in the system.
What should go out must go out at the earliest possible
time. First thing when you get up in the morning, it should
be done.
Twice a week means on an average, you keep it in your
body for three days, and you expect your mind to be okay?
It will not be okay because our colon and your mind are
directly connected.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 40
41. The colon is at the muladhara, which is the foundation of our
energy system.
Whatever happens at the muladhara, happens to the whole
system, one way or the other – and particularly to our mind.
Today’s scientists are arriving at such conclusions because they
study the human being under a microscope – piece by piece.
Therefore, about every bit, they come to a different conclusion.
The whole cannot be perceived from outside – it can only be
perceived from within.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 41
47. The Placebo Effect
Laughter Attracts joy, releases negativity
Disease is held in the body by thought
Beliefs about aging are all in our minds
Do not listen to society message about
diseases and aging
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 47
73. 1.According to a research done at the Cleveland University,
USA, the rhythmic tones involved in chanting create a
melodious effect in the body called the Neuro-linguistic effect
[NLE]
2.When we know the meaning of the mantra we are reciting, it
creates a Psycholinguistic effect [PLE] on the body.
3.The NLE and the PLE effects are by-products of the production
and spreading of curative chemicals in the brain. The research
concludes that this is the real reason why chanting provokes
curative effects in us.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 73
74. 1.Each tone vibrates the bones, muscles and fluids of
the chanter. The elongation of the vowel sound is
remarkably healing to the brain and the body.
2.Brainwaves begin to balance after three or four
minutes, and the muscle and skin temperature
increases.
3.The ancients intuitively knew that the balancing of the
body, heart and mind through the voice is a direct
path to healing and higher consciousness.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 74
76. Placebo effect - In layman’s terms this means that the
treatment works not because of any scientific or medical
effect of the treatment but because the patient believes
that the treatment will help.
According to research done by cell biologist, B. Lipton, PhD,
30% of all diseases (including surgeries) are cured by placebo
effect
Our thoughts and feelings influence the body through
nervous and circulatory systems (WilliamCollinge, M.P.H.,
Ph.D.)
This allows the brain to affect the behavior of the immune
system
Cell receptors receive chemical messages from the brain and
react based on those messages changing body metabolism
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 76
77. Reversal of psychosomatic diseases such as:
Constipation
Indigestion
Skin diseases
Menstrual irregularities
Skin allergies
Respiratory allergies
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 77
79. Modification in breath creates changes in body
and mind.
For example, slowing down the breath to 6 breaths
per minute results in all body systems resonating with
each other, mutually reinforcing and resulting in:
▪ Better functioning of immune system
▪ Reduction of inflammation
▪ Better regulation of blood sugar levels
▪ Induced calmness and clarity of the mind
▪ Feeling of inner peace
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 79
80. Effects are on 3 levels:
20 breaths will produce effects on the body level
40 breaths will produce effects on body and
mental levels
80 breaths will produce effects on body, mental
and spiritual levels
The effects will be temporary unless the
practice is regular for at least 6 months, then
it gives 10hr of sustained effect.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 80

Moods like depression is significantly reduced
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 88

cortex dominance
Cortex (intellect) takes over from limbic brain
(emotions) the management of cerebellum
(controlling muscle functions) – results in calmness
and peace of mind
Reduced negative or dysfunctional thoughts and
rumination
Relaxed and quiet mind
Prevailing acceptance and tolerance
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 89

how we consume is also critical
Traditionally, in the East, we have always
been taught how you should be when food

93. One life transforms itself into another – that
is what eating means. It is not just digestion –
it is one life fusing into another.
When you put another piece of life into you,
how it merges with your body and what this
produces depends on how you keep your
chemistry while you eat.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 93
94. InYoga, we do not look at foods in terms of vitamins, minerals or
proteins.We categorize food in the three following ways–
positive pranic food, and
negative pranic food,
zero pranic food.
Positive substances are those which, when consumed, add prana to the
system.The pranic energy, the vital energy in the body, will increase.
Negative pranic -If we consume negative pranic substances, they take
away prana from the system.They will stimulate you on a nervous level
but it will take away your vital energies.
Zeropranic food neither adds nor takes away. It is only eaten for taste.

95. 1. “Garlic is definitely a very powerful medicine if it is used properly. But if
you put it in everyday food and eat it, it can cause much damage to
you.(Lahasun)
2. Onion: The body does not prefer onion. It shows it dislikes with
irritation that the eye feels when we chop it.
3. Asafoetida is also one of the negative pranic items but is generally
used in small quantities. (Heeng)
4. Brinjal is the only vegetable that actually has some poison in it.There is
a certain enzyme in brinjal, which is capable of damaging the
hypothalamus.Children should avoid this vegetable. (Baingan)
5. Chilli can be experimented with. However, if we abstain from it for
some time and then take it, the body will reject it.
6. Coffee or tea are very powerful nervous stimulants.Constant abuse of
nervous stimulants will destroy the stamina in the long run. It will
reduce the energy storage ability and make the period of old age a bit
difficult.
7. Needless to say, all drugs and other nervous stimulants are negative
pranic.”1
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 95
96. zero pranic foods are eaten for taste - foods in
this category include the tomato and potato,
which enrich the flavour of our meals, but
contain no particular pranic functions.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 96
97. Instead of refined white sugar, make use of jaggery (unrefined,
raw cane sugar) and honey as sweeteners.
“Whole grains, lentils and nuts are an excellent alternative to milk,
in order to get the daily dietary requirement of calcium”2, such as
peanuts and horsegram.
Rather than consume refined grains that have been largely
stripped of their nutrients, minerals and dietary fibre, why not try
out whole grain alternatives like brown rice and whole wheat, or
even finger and pearl millet?
Many of us rely on coffee and tea to stay awake or for short term
energy, but as we now know, these are negative pranic foods in
the long run. Ashgourd juice and lemon-ginger tea can
provide greater sense of energy as an alternative.

103. Eating food with the hands in today’s
Western society can sometimes be perceived
as being unhygienic, bad mannered and
primitive. However within Indian culture
there is an old saying that,
” eating food with your hands feeds not
only the body but also the mind and the
spirit”.

105. Mudras are used during mediation and are very prominent within the many
classical forms of dance, such as Bharatnatyam.
The hands are considered the most precious organ of action.This is linked to the
Vedic prayer of
“Karagre vasate Laksmih ,
karamule Sarasvati Karamadhye tu Govindah prabhate karadarsanam
Each finger aids in the transformation of food, before it passes on to internal
digestion.
Gathering the fingertips as they touch the food stimulates the five elements and
invites Agni to bring forth the digestive juices.
As well as improving digestion the person becomes more conscious of the tastes,
textures and smells of the foods they are eating, which all adds to the pleasure of
eating.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 105
106. 1. Keeps all your vital life energies in balance
2. Improves digestion
3. Promotes mindful eating
4. Protects your mouth from getting burnt:
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 106
107. Helps improve your digestion:
When you sit on the floor, you usually sit cross legged – an
asana known as sukhasana or a half padmasna which are
poses that help in digestion (since it is believed that when
one sits in this pose in front of food it automatically signals
your brain to prepare for digestion). Apart from that when
you eat from a plate placed on the floor, you will have to
naturally bend forward slightly and go back to your starting
position to swallow.This constant back and forth movement
causes the muscles of your abdomen to be activated and
also leads to increased secretion of stomach acids – making
it much easier for you to digest food.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 107
108. Helps you lose weight:
Sitting on the floor and eating has significant weight loss benefits
too.When you sit in this position, your brain automatically calms
down and is better equipped to focusing on the food you eat.
Moreover this position helps you cognate the amount of food you
have eaten and helps you feel full faster. How does that work? Well,
the main reason people overeat is because they do not know when
they are full.This happens because the vagus nerve (the main nerve
that transmits signals from the stomach to the brain) sends signals to
the brain as you eat, telling it if you are satiated or not.When you sit
on the floor this nerve is able to perform better and transmit signals
more efficiently. Also, since this position makes you eat slower than
you would while sitting on a table, it gives your stomach and brain
time to cognate the signals of feeling full{2}, thereby preventing
overeating and bingeing.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 108
109. Makes you more flexible
When you squat or sit in padmasana, the muscles
in your lower back, pelvis, around your stomach
and those of the upper and lower abdomen stretch
– reducing pain and discomfort.This, in turn helps
your digestive system relax and stay in a normal
position. Moreover, this position does not
compress your stomach in anyway helping you eat
and digest better. Moreover, the regular stretching
of these essential muscles also helps make you
more flexible and healthy.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 109
110. Aids in mindful eating:
When you sit on the floor and eat as a family it aids in
mindful eating. Not only does it help you focus on your
food, but it also helps you make better choices when
you eat. Since your mind is calm and your body is ready
to accept nutrition, sitting on the floor is the best way to
eat the right amount and kinds of food. According to
leading nutritionist, Rujuta Diwekar, eating food while
concentrating on every aspect of the food – its smell,
taste, texture and how much you are eating is the key to
losing weight – which is what sitting on the floor and
eating gives you.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 110
111. Helps you bond with your family:
Usually the practice of sitting on the floor and
eating is a family activity. This time is great for
you to bond. One of the reasons sitting on the
floor is better at helping you bond is because it
leads to a calm and happy mind – helping you
listen more intently and peacefully.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 111
112. Improves your posture:
Posture is very important when it comes to staying
healthy. Good posture not only helps prevent
injuries but it also reduces the chances of excessive
strain on certain muscles and joints, which can
lead to fatigue and quicker than normal wear and
tear.When you sit on the floor your posture is
automatically corrected, making your back
straight, lengthening your spine and pushes back
your shoulders – beating all the common aches
and pains that come with bad posture.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 112
113. Can make you live longer
Sounds a bit unbelievable right? Well, it’s true, sitting on
the floor and eating can actually help you live longer. A
study published in the Journal European Journal of
Preventive Cardiology{2} found that people who sat on
the floor in padmasana and were able to get up without
any support were more likely to live longer.This is
because being able to get up from that position takes a
considerable amount of flexibility and lower body
strength.The study found that those who were not able
to get up without support were at the risk of being 6.5
times more likely to die in the next six years.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 113
114. Lubricates and keeps your knees and hip joint
healthy:
According to PSVenkateshwara, author of the
book Yoga for Healing{3}, padmasana and sukhasana is
one pose that has health benefits for your entire body.
Not only does it help your digestive system function
better, but it also helps keep your joints supple, flexible
and less prone to injuries and degenerative diseases like
arthritis and osteoporosis.That is because the constant
bending of the knees, ankles and hip joint helps keep
them flexible and free of diseases.And with flexibility
comes better lubrication between the joints making it
much easier to sit on the floor.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 114
115. Relaxes the mind and calms the nerves:
Sukhasana and padmasanaor the cross legged
way one sits on the floor while eating has a
number of benefits, and one of its most
significant ones is that it calms the mind and
relaxes frazzled nerves. A very handy tool, it is
believed in Ayurveda that eating with a calm
mind helps better digestion and in some cases
has even helped people relish food better
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 115
116. Strengthens the heart by improving circulation:
Have you ever noticed that when you eat, you tend to feel warmer
and in some cases even sweat?Well, that is because when we eat our
stomach needs all the energy it can use to digest food. One of
digestion’s most important element is a sound blood circulation.To
keep up with this process, your heart tends to work overtime to help
out your digestive system. Here is where sitting on the floor and
eating can help you out.When you sit on the floor your heart gets the
benefits of circulation as the blood is easily pumped through the
heart to all the organs needed for digestion.This is in contrast to the
pattern of circulation when you sit on a dining table and chair,
wherein the blood flows to the legs as they are lower than the heart.
Therefore sitting on the floor and eating, affords you a healthy heart
with strong muscles to help it cope with the pressures of daily life.

4. Increases the amount of insulin in your body
5. Makes you put on weight
6. Water helps to gulp down food which is not
good for the body as it needs to be chewed well
7. Drink water 30 minutes before your meal
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 117
118. 1. Your stomach contains digestive acids that help in the digestion and breakdown of food.
2. Apart from this, these juices are also responsible for killing any infectious agents that
might be ingested along with food.
3. Also known as the ‘digestive fire’ (according to Ayurvedic texts) these digestive enzymes
are essential for our overall well-being as they also allow the stomach to contract and
pulverize the food we eat.
4. When this fire is diluted with water, it not only dulls the entire system but may cause
cramping of the intestinal wall in some individuals.
5. This stagnation of the entire digestive process allows food to remain in the stomach for
longer and slows the process of passing digested food into the small intestine for the
absorption of nutrients.
6. In a statement toTOI Shonali Sabherwal, Macrobiotic counselor said, ‘Our stomachs
have a knack of knowing when you will eat and starts releasing digestive juices
immediately. If you start drinking water at the same time, what you are actually doing is
diluting the digestive juices being released to digest your food, thereby hindering them
from breaking down food.’
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 118
119. 1. Your saliva is the first step to digestion. Not only
does it contain enzymes that help break down food,
2. it also helps stimulate the stomach to release
digestive enzymes and ready itself for the process of
digestion.
3. When you drink water during your meals, your saliva
gets diluted.
4. This not only sends weaker signals to the stomach
but also stops the breakdown of food in your mouth
– making digestion that much more difficult
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 119
122. it does not fully quench the thirst and
does not settle in the stomach so that the liver can distribute the
nutrients to other parts of the body.
it comes to the stomach with speed and force, and there is the
fear that it will cause a chill or disturbance, and may pass quickly
to the lower parts of the body without moving gradually.
It lets water hit the lower part of the esophagus strongly, & by
time this leads to a dilation and relaxation of the sphincter that
connects the esophagus and stomach, which finally leads to a
medical condition called "GERD: GastroEsophageal Reflux
Disease"
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 122
123. Stomach damage : when we stand and drink water, it flows easily
and in great volume down the food canal and splashes onto the lower
stomach wall.This splash damages the stomach wall and the nearby
organs. Long term practice disturbs the digestive system and further
causes heart and kidney problems.
Kidney damage : water intake while standing lets the water pass
through kidneys with a push without much filtration.This may cause
impurities to gather in the bladder or in blood. Now kidneys ,bladder
and heart are at stake.
Arthritis : if water is taken while standing it disturbs the balance of
other body fluids. Ultimately it also affects the joint regions and
cause deficiency of required fluids in joints.This results in joint pains
known as arthritis.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 123
124. 1. It is better to drink water while sitting than while standing.
2.You should drink it slowly and avoid gulping down large volumes of water in a single breath.
3.Tepid water is best to drink and it is advised to avoid drinking ice cold water.
4. It is best to drink when you are feeling thirsty.When you listen to thirst cues and sip water
throughout the day you’ll be drinking the right amount.

5.You should stop drinking water after you feel satiated as it is a signal from your body to stop
drinking.
6.The color of your urine may indicate whether you are sufficiently hydrated or not.The color
of your urine should be fairly clear and straw colored. Dark yellow urine may indicate a sign of
dehydration.
7. Dry chapped lips may also indicate the lack of sufficient water being supplied to your body.

THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 124
125. 8. Normally the minimum gap between food and water should be between
1.5 to 2.5 hrs.Though it may vary according to different geographic
locations, as the body’s ability to digest food depends on external factors
like the outside temperature.
9.Though very contradictory, but the right time to drink water while taking
food is to drink just the required amount of water, along with your food
rather than drinking water before or after food.
10. If really thirsty, one can have fresh fruit juice after morning meal,
buttermilk after lunchand milk after dinner.Though these also contain
mostly water, the properties are completely different and are good for our
digestive system.
11. Ushapan is a famous Ayurvedic practice of drinking water in the
morning. A regular ushapaan helps in keeping the body healthy. It also
helps to get rid of many diseases and disorders like headaches, blood
pressure, anemia, obesity, arthritis etc
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 125
127. According to Ayurveda, water stored in a copper
vessel has the ability to balance all the
three doshas in your body, (vata, kapha and
pitta)and it does so by positively charging the
water.
The water stored in a copper vessel is known as
‘tamara jal’ and is supposed to be consumed
after storing the water in a copper vessel for at
least eight hours.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 127
128. When water is stored in a copper vessel, the
copper gently leaches into the water and
lends it all its positive properties.
The best part about this water is that it never
becomes stale and can be stored this way for
long periods of time.

2. For Good digestion one must eat before sunset since post that the metabolism slows down
3. According to the principles of Ayurveda, human body has a lot to do with cycles of nature and
sunlight. It recognises the ratri as a period that starts an hour after the sunset.This period is divided
into four phases and it is recommended that one should eat dinner in the first phase of ratricharya, if
the body’s cycle has to be in sync with the nature’s cycle. Only if it is in sync with the nature, will it help
you keep diseases at bay and lead an overall healthy life.

2. The systems propounded in theVedas and Shastras coordinate man's
biological rhythms with the cycles of nature.
3. One of nature's most fundamental rhythms can be observed in the
phases of the moon. Scientifically it is known that the tides of the
ocean rise during full moon and by dark moon they have completely
ebbed.
4. These phases must therefore affect the human body, considering it is
approximately 70% water.
5. The systems of fasting are based on the different stages of the moon's
waxing and waning.
6. The cycles of the moon influence women in particular through the
menstrual cycle, so fasting is practised more extensively by women
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 132
133. 1. According to this ancient discipline, fasting is an effective way to
kindle the digestive fire and burn away accumulated toxins from
the body and mind.
2. It also eliminates gas, lightens the body, improves mental clarity,
provides a clean tongue and fresh breath, and preserves overall
health.
3. However, it also does not recommend infrequent and long term
fasting, that could deplete bodily tissues and create imbalance
to the constitution.
4. It favors regular and short term fasting, which could be on the
same day each week or setting aside a few days each month, all
depending on individual constitutions and cleansing
requirements.

135. 1. Alkaline water is different from tap because it's less acidic—it has a pH
over seven, meaning that it has a lower concentration of hydrogen ions
2. All liquids have a measure of acidity, which is determined on the pH
scale.The pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in the
liquid, which is expressed on a scale of 0-14.Anything under seven
(think black coffee, orange juice, and vinegar) is acidic, seven is neutral
and above seven (like baking soda) is alkaline territory,“
3. It helps neutralize acid in the bloodstream, which leads to increased
oxygen levels and improved energy and metabolism; it contains
antioxidant properties (anti-aging and anti-disease); cleanses the
colon; rejuvenates the skin; and lubricates muscles and joints. Evamor,
a popular brand of alkaline bottled water, states that "increased dietary
alkalinity reduces body fat and fatigue, protects bones, supports the
immune system, and achieves better overall health."
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 135
136. 1. The human body is alkaline by design but acidic

2. Every living cell in the body creates
metabolized waste, which is acidic.
3. The nutrients from our food are delivered to
each cell, the cells burn with oxygen in order to
provide energy for us to live.
4. The burned nutrients become metabolized

141. The consumption of neem and turmeric with tepid, light honey
water is a wonderful way of cleansing and dilating the cellular
structure in such a way that it is able to absorb energy. When you
do sadhana, the dilation brings flexibility to the muscles.The
flexibility helps you to slowly build the system into a more
powerful possibility.You will feel it – as you do your asanas, the
body will crackle with a different kind of energy.
The inertia levels will increase if the body does not allow a certain
amount of energy to enter the cellular level. Neem and turmeric as
a combination dilate the cellular structure of the body in such a
way that it allows energy to enter and fill up every crevice. Neem
and turmeric are a physical support towards that, but sadhana
itself does it too.
THEWELL BEING ACADEMY 141
142. You can generate enormous energy by means other than
sadhana, such as stimulants – like a strong cup of coffee or
nicotine – but it will not dilate the cellular structure and
allow the energy to enter the system to be stored and
released over a long period of time.
When, instead of being stored, energy finds expression
right there, it becomes destructive – not only for the body,
but also for the mind, for the activity that you perform,
and for the world around you.
When we generate energy in the body, it is important that
it does not simply burst out but that we are able to hold it
and release it by choice.
