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.
Mental health is concerned with well-being, positive attitude, life satisfaction and so on. All these may be
influenced by following and practicing integral yoga. The present study was intended to compare mental
health between followers of Sri Aurobindo and others. Sixty adults volunteered for the study. Hundred
followers of Sri Aurobindo from different ashrams and hundred other adult people were considered as
subject for the study. Their mental health was tested with the Mental Health Inventory Questionnaire. All
the responses were then converted into scores following the guidelines. T –test was used to compare the
result. The level of significance was set at 0.05 level. Significant difference was found in General

Dr Ananda's presentation for the National Conference on “CHANGING TRENDS IN HEALTH PROFESSIONS EDUCATION – 2016”- 20th August at Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherry
Introduction: Recent developments showcased through social media highlight a lack of human values in modern medical professionals. Compassion, empathy and a sincere desire to relieve suffering are found lacking and this seemingly becomes even rarer as qualifications increase. Kidney rackets, unnecessary surgeries, laboratory referral commissions and inflated bills are commonly bemoaned and even recently medical students in Chennai were found throwing a poor dog off their rooftop in glee.
This paper presents the view that introduction of Yoga in medical education may help stem the rot and restore values.
Why yoga?
Yoga is an ancient cultural heritage of India spreading rapidly and being practiced by millions across the globe. It offers a broader perspective of life and refines the personality thus enabling the practitioner to attain their inherent potential in a holistic manner. Yoga is not just a system of exercise but is a way of life. It stresses the importance of social and personal values through the yama (restraints of subhuman tendencies such as violence, stealing and greed etc) and the niyama (humane observances including cleanliness, contentment, self-introspection and dispassionate discipline). The inculcation of these universal values in medical students at the start of their professional career can help them be more humane in their life and profession.
Suggested mechanisms: Numerous physical and mental techniques of Yoga such as asana, pranayama, dharana and dhyana enable attainment of physical, mental and emotional fitness thus enabling them to be skillful and efficient in dealing with omnipresent stressors. A broader worldview enables them to perform their duty in the spirit of nishkama karma (non-attachment to results of actions) thus preventing the unhealthy “Me first”, “Make the most money”, “who cares as long as I am safe” type of attitudes in them. A healthy connection with their inner self creates a cheerful, strong and compassionate being empathetic towards the suffering.
In conclusion: Introduction of Yoga as a holistic way of life with stress on its astha anga (eight components) in the medical curriculum can inculcate a compassionate sense of karuna and seva (selfless service) towards our human brethren. The understanding that illness becomes wellness when we consciously move from the limited sense of “I” to a broader inclusive “WE" will motivate young doctors to be vehicles of change thus restoring once again the much extolled nobility of our medical profession.

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.
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.

Cultivating Harmony in Body, Mind, and Soul.pdfKhouloud Mekni
Embrace the holistic tapestry of well-being by integrating mindful practices into your daily life, fostering a harmonious balance between your mind, body, and soul, and embarking on a personal journey towards a richer, more fulfilling existence.
In an era dominated by advancements in medical science, the concept of holistic health has emerged as a beacon guiding individuals towards a more comprehensive approach to well-being. Holistic health, often referred to as wholistic health, is a philosophy that considers the entire person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit—when addressing health issues. It goes beyond the conventional focus on symptoms and diseases, aiming to achieve balance and harmony in all aspects of an individual's life.
Meditation is a word used to identify a variety of different methods, to the point where we often find it difficult to determine what it exactly is.

The benefits of spiritual healing extend beyond physical health. It can aid in pain management, stress reduction, and improved sleep quality. Moreover, spiritual healing promotes a sense of purpose, hope, and inner peace.

function at our full potential. These blocks obstruct the vital flows of ener-
gy through our body and energy systems that are necessary for our health
and wellbeing. Over time this leads to illness and depleted mental and
emotional reserves. Energetic Healing helps restore these vital flows and
stimulates the body’s natural healing ability and facilitates growth
and self-awareness.

and emotional levels, as well as in their general and physical well-being.

healing intelligence to restore balance to
body and mind.

ciplines which use the gentle art of muscle
monitoring to access information about a
person’s well being. It combines contempo-
rary Western techniques and Eastern wisdom
to promote physical, emotional, mental
& spiritual health. Kinesiology identifies the
elements which inhibit the body’s
natural internal energies, and accesses the
life enhancing potential within the individual.”
Practitioners of Kinesiology undertake
years of training to access the movement
of energy - what the Chinese call ‘Chi’ -
throughout the body.
Holistic Kinesiology (kin-easy-ology) is

Practical Healing Modalities
8. A multi-modality healing programme
Aimed at high achievers who want to keep an upward trajectory in their lives - ReSet is a synthe-
sis of practical healing modalities and inspirational motivation techniques that is a proactive and
enjoyable catalyst for change.
The ReSet approach to holistic healing is a fascinating and comprehensive mind-body-spirit pro-
gramme addressing and transforming your habitual array of unconscious life responses, while si-
multaneously working on the physical symptoms that have developed in response to these mental
habits and life challenges that have formed you as you are now. It is a positive programme of men-
tal and physical growth that allows you to transcend your current self and find new levels of energy,
motivation and inspiration that is empowering and healing, sets new goals and allows growth and
real transformation towards fulfiling your true potential in life.
Using Holistic Kinesiology, your body’s inherent knowledge and unconscious
physical responses are tapped to reveal and release stress points and psycho-
somatic limitations.
Parallel to reading your hidden physical responses with Kinesiology, we embark
on a “question and answer” life coaching programme that uncovers your habitual
and unconscious fears, limiting thoiughts and self beliefs, and breaks through
to discover your true inner desires and action the full potential you hold within.
Forrest Yoga is renowned as an intensely physical and internally focused prac-
tice that emphasizes how to carry a transformative experience off the mat and
into daily life. The practice challenges students to access their whole being
and to use Forrest Yoga as a path to finding and then cleansing the emotional
and mental blocks that dictate and limit their lives.
What is known in the West as Thai Massage is not massage at all, but rather an
ancient energy-based healing system that combines acupressure, reflexology,
and assisted yoga postures to free your body, remove stress and allow the re-
turn to natural posture.

dent and empowered, comfortable with yourself. You know you could be health-
ier in mind, body and spirit. ReSet is your tool for life transformation.
9. Chi Nei Sang Abdominal Massage
Chi Nei Tsang is a holistic approach to the healing touch modality of old Taoist Chinese origin.
It integrates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being. CNT goes to the
very origin of health problems, including psychosomatic responses locked in our internal organs.
Chi Nei Tsang literally means “working the energy of the internal organs” or “internal organs chi
transformation.” CNT uses all the principles of Kung-Fu and Tai Chi Chuan known as Chi-Kung;
therefore, CNT is a form of “applied Chi Kung.” It is soothing and transformative.
CNT practitioners work mainly on the abdomen with deep, soft and gentle touches, to train inter-
nal organs to work more efficiently. Unprocessed emotional charges are also addressed in this
manner, as well as all of the body systems: digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, ner-
vous, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, muscular-skeletal, and the acupuncture meridian system
(Chi).
