We each have our own unique learning style, and if we can identify a child’s learning style, we will be much better able to connect with them and support them in their learning. Our teaching will also be much more effective.

Children too can benefit from understanding their personal learning style. This knowledge can help them to access learning opportunities more effectively, and give them a sense of empowerment and control over their learning. It can also help them relate to and communicate better with the various people in their life, including their teachers.

Learning styles are based on the way we each receive and process information, an issue that is of particular importance for a child with dyslexia. There are four basic ways we each receive information. We can most effectively support a child’s learning by offering them materials and experiences designed for their unique learning style.

Visual learning style -This child receives information best through their eyes and what they see and read. Often these children teach themselves to read. They may find it difficult to concentrate on spoken instructions but respond well to visual aids such as pictures, diagrams and charts. The tend to visualise ideas and remember the visual details of places and objects they have seen. According to research about 65% of people have this learning style.

Auditory learning style - This child learns best by hearing things – either on tape or in a discussion. They are good at listening carefully and then repeating instructions either aloud or mentally in order to remember what they have learned. Research suggests that about 30% of people use this learning style. Children with this learning style tend to be the talkers as well as the listeners in group situations and benefit from being able to discuss ideas. Auditory learners can be easily distracted by noise and may concentrate better withbackground music to disguise potentially disruptive noises.

Kinaesthetic learning style – This child reminds us of the term ‘energy in motion’. They need to make physical contact with things that they are learning about. In fact, most young children instinctively prefer this method of learning – touching and experiencing helps them to make sense of new information. This is also a particularly important method of learning for dyslexic children of all ages. About 5% of adults prefer to use this style of learning too.

Social learning style – This child learns by interaction with other people. They thrive on one-to-one attention and again they learn well through direct experience.

It is important for us to remember that the children we are supporting do not necessarily have the same learning style as ourselves and we need to remain open-minded and have a range of approaches available to us. When working with a group of children, itmay be necessary to explore a subject in several different ways to ensure that we meet the needs of each child’s individual learning style.

Identifying your own learning style will help you to understand more about these ideas.

You probably have a visual learning style if you can answer ‘yes’ to the following questions:

When working out how to spell a word, do you try to visualise it in your head?

Do you talk sparingly and try to avoid listening for too long?

Do you use words such as ‘see’, ‘picture’ and ‘imagine’ a lot?

Are you easily distracted by untidiness or movement?

When reading, do you prefer descriptive scenes or pause to imagine the actions?

When learning something new, do you like to see demonstrations, diagrams, slides, or posters?

You probably have an auditory learning style if you can answer ‘yes’ to the followingquestions:

When working out how to spell a word, do you sound out the word or use a phonetic approach?

Do you enjoy listening but are impatient to talk?

Do you use words such as ‘hear’, ‘tune’, and ‘think’?

Do you become distracted by sounds or noises?

When reading, do you enjoy dialogue and conversation or hear the characters talk?

When learning something new, do you prefer verbal instructions or talking about it with someone else?

You probably have a kinaesthetic and tactile learning style if you can answer ‘yes’ to the following questions:

When working out how to spell a word, Do you write the word down to find if it feels right?

When having a conversation do you gesture and use expressive movements?

Do you use words such as ‘feel’, ‘touch’, and ‘hold’?

Do you become distracted by activityaround you?

When reading, do you prefer action stories or are not a keen reader?

When learning something new, do you prefer to jump right in and try it?

As we know in any battery, an electrochemical reaction occurs like the ones described on the previous page. This reaction moves electrons from one pole to the other. The actual metals and electrolytes used control the voltage of the battery — each different reaction has a characteristic voltage. For example, here’s what happens in one cell of a car’s lead-acid battery:

The cell has one plate made of lead and another plate made of lead dioxide, with a strong sulfuric acid electrolyte in which the plates are immersed. Lead combineswith SO4 (sulfate) to create PbSO4 (lead sulfate), plus one electron. Lead dioxide, hydrogen ions and SO4 ions, plus electrons from the lead plate, create PbSO4 and water on the lead dioxide plate. As the battery discharges, both plates build up PbSO4 and water builds up in the acid. The characteristic voltage is about 2 volts per cell, so by combining six cells you get a 12-volt battery.

A lead-acid battery has a nice feature — the reaction is completely reversible. If you apply current to the battery at the right voltage, lead and lead dioxide form again on the plates so you can reuse the battery over and over. In a zinc-carbon battery, there is no easy way to reverse the reaction because there is no easy way to get hydrogen gas back into the electrolyte.

Modern Battery Chemistry
Modern batteries use a variety of chemicals to power their reactions. Typical battery chemistries include:

Zinc-carbon battery – Also known as a standard carbonbattery, zinc-carbon chemistry is used in all inexpensive AA, C and D dry-cell batteries. The electrodes are zinc and carbon, with an acidic paste between them that serves as the electrolyte. Alkaline battery – Alkaline chemistry is used in common Duracell and Energizer batteries, the electrodes are zinc and manganese-oxide, with an alkaline electrolyte. Lithium-iodide battery – Lithium-iodide chemistry is used in pacemakers and hearing aides because of their long life.(such as laptop battery )http://www.udtek.com/laptop-battery-c-1.html Lead-acid battery – Lead-acid chemistry is used in automobiles, the electrodes are made of lead and lead-oxide with a strong acidic electrolyte (rechargeable). Nickel-cadmium battery – The electrodes are nickel-hydroxide and cadmium, with potassium-hydroxide as the electrolyte (rechargeable). Nickel-metal hydride battery – This battery is rapidly replacing nickel-cadmium because it does not suffer from the memory effect thatnickel-cadmiums do (rechargeable). Lithium-ion battery – With a very good power-to-weight ratio, this is often found in high-end laptop computers and cell phones (rechargeable). Zinc-air battery – This battery is lightweight and rechargeable. Zinc-mercury oxide battery – This is often used in hearing-aids. Silver-zinc battery – This is used in aeronautical applications because the power-to-weight ratio is good.

As you can see, several of these batteries are rechargeable. What makes a battery rechargeable? In the next section, we’ll check out how rechargeable batteries work.such as

High school is not merely a place for learning math, physics, history, etc. You can learn as well as enjoy yourself in your high school. There are various activities, clubs, cultural and sport events that are part of your high school life. Life at high school is all about enjoying studies as well as extracurricular activities. These activities make you relaxed and energized for your routine studies. They are also a means of exploring various areas of personal interest, which help you stand out in a crowd. Many high school graduates become great versatile all-rounders. There are various activities to get involved in. It is in your high school that many of you come to know about your hidden talents and capabilities. And your teachers are always there to inspire you to realize your potential to the fullest.

Student Government

In your high school you are exposed to various democratic processes. By demonstrating your leadership skills you caneven get an opportunity to participate in student government. Thus you will take part in planning various social and cultural activities like school dances, school trips, and various competitions. Capable students are offered positions like president, vice- president, treasurer, secretary, etc. While some schools have them at grade levels others have the system of only one student government who undertakes all such activities. These are positions of honor and responsibility and they make a good mention on your college application later on. Moreover, they offer you excellent opportunities to improve your leadership, communication and organizational skills, which can go a long way in boosting your confidence and preparing you for your future life.

Clubs

High school also has various student clubs. Such clubs may be related to science, humanities, etc. Students can also start their own unique clubs based on their hobbies, interests and skills. There aresome nationwide clubs like Key Club, which allow students to participate in community services. Another option is to be a part of the Best Buddies club, which places students in mentoring roles for the students who are disabled. Such clubs offer you a great opportunity to interact with students from outside your school. This helps build camaraderie among students as well as allows them to enhance their extracurricular skills.

Sports

There are a variety of sport activities in high school. Most schools have numerous sports like football, basketball, baseball, and softball and have their own teams etc. Students are allowed to participate in sports of their choice. The healthy blend of curricular and extracurricular activities help you pass out as truly well rounded high school graduates.

Music and Dramatics

Most schools conduct dramatics and music classes. If you like acting or playing an instrument suits your fancy,join one of these classes. You can get to be part of a music group, band or an orchestra. Some schools even have marching bands, jazz bands, choirs etc. On certain occasions schools organize performances as part of a social event.

Work

You can also avail of part-time jobs arranged by your high school. You can join any of the community groups that undertake part-time or volunteer jobs usually involving tutoring and training. Such activities help students learn to empathize with others and become a mature individual and a responsible citizen. Undertaking such jobs always boost your resume giving you an advantage over others.

Such activities are also important for those who wish to pursue higher education in college and university. Colleges prefer to admit students who have background of participating in academic as well as extracurricular activities. Your involvement in various high school activities can help shape your future.

Getting a college degree online can be one of the easiest ways for an individual to get an education. Thanks to the Internet, distance learning has become a mainstream medium for improving one’s education and career. Compared to traditional onsite colleges, online learning is not only time efficient but budget friendly.

Continuing an education can do wonders when it comes to increasing satisfaction in various areas of a person’s life. It can help develop a career path, increase earning power and give a sense of personal fulfillment. However, the idea of returning to school when life is already full can be intimidating to many.

Whether looking to branch off into a new career or give a boost to a current occupation, getting a college degree online can do away with much of the intimidation factor. Many adults in the workforce balance home and work on a regular basis while still wanting or needing to pick up knowledge along the way. Onlinelearning is a form fitting option that can meet the needs of nearly every individual in this category.

The three most attractive characteristics of this type of learning have to do with time, money and practicality. The working adult is one who is likely to have little time to work around a rigid schedule. They are also likely to be looking for an option that is affordable for their budget. Working adults also need an uncomplicated system that is easy to use and understand.

When getting a college degree online, learning can take place at any time of the day or night. Fitting in learning time when and where a person is ready makes for a relaxing learning process. This in turn allows for a better absorption of study materials.

The idea of a home or office based study environment can be a perfect option for those intimidated by the idea of returning to a classroom after a long absence. It allows one to better incorporate learning timesinto his or her schedule. This will also cut down on travel time and costs.

Being an adult can be expensive. With all the basics one has to afford, rarely is there any room for pricey tuitions and fees in a budget. Since online learning is all about the classes, there will be no relocation costs, room and board, parking or other extras one would expect to find with a traditional onsite college.

Because most online courses are accredited, financial aid is often available for those who qualify. Grants and student loan options can be found with the help of a financial aid specialist. This can make the choice to continue an education much easier.

One reason so many choose to get their degree online is the easy to follow instructions and curriculum. Most classes run from a point and click syllabus, allowing individuals to progress at their own speed. This means no waiting for others to catch up or struggling to keep up with others.
/>
As most adults have been out of a classroom environment for some time, following a syllabus is often preferred over classroom instruction. Most adults are in the rhythm of their lives where autonomy plays a great role. Adults prefer easy to follow options they know will not detract from other important aspects of their life.

Getting a degree online is not only considered a legitimate and reputable way of improving one’s station in life, it is also a great way to keep life fulfilling and exciting. Learning new skills and putting them to use is wonderfully stimulating and can lead to great places in life. It is no wonder that this type of learning has become one of the most popular tools of the internet.

CHAPTER ONE: From ‘Hell’ and Back.

- The Canadian Encyclopedia says: “The ancestors of the Iroquois can be traced backwards in New York State by archaeological evidence to at least 500 BC. And possibly as far back as 4,000 BC. The distinctive Iroquois culture of the historic period seems to have developed by about 1000 AD.” In order to take the Iroquois back to 4000 BC one has to find the Megwi and Adena before them were once people who lived in Poverty Point where Eurasiatic technology existed and tall people thrived in the Keltic mound building tradition.

CHAPTER TWO: Manitou’s Mounds and Mississippi Mud.

- Professor Jesse Jennings wrote what the Smithsonian called ‘authoritative’ and in its third edition says: “…are all the high cultures of the New World resultant from a diffusion of ideas, customs, artifacts, and religious-social practices of the OLD WORLD?”
- He also says: “Even more unusual at the two sites was the microflint work. Theindustry involved the striking of long, prismatic flakes from egg-shaped flint nodules or cores in a manner reminiscent of Eurasiatic Mesolithic industries.”

CHAPTER THREE: Guardians of the Iberian Gateway (ST. Lawrence, Hudson).

- J. V. Wright is one of Canada’s top academics and he wrote A History of the Native People’s of Canada, Volume I, (10,000 – 1,000 B.C.) and he says: “Historically documented native beliefs in Canada appear to have been quite similar to those of the pre-Christian Celtic, Germanic, and Scandinavian peoples as well as other parts of the world…”
- He also brings us: “The Allumette-1 and Morrison’s Island-6 sites, in addition to other activities, they functioned as manufacturing centres of copper tools.”

CHAPTER FOUR: The Great Wall of China Extends to Ohio’s ‘Giants’.

- Elizabeth Wayland Barber’s The Mummies of Ǘrümchi says: “Linguistically these twins show features lumping them most closely with the ‘westernmost’Indo-European languages: Celtic and Italic…. But they are not particularly similar to their nearest geographical neighbors…”
- Also, she states: “What Professor Mair {University of Pennsylvania} recognized there stunned him. The mummies appeared to be neither Chinese nor Mongoloid in facial type; they looked, in fact, distinctively Caucasian…”

CHAPTER FIVE: Peru Shakes Hands With Poverty Point.

- “The rise and fall of Celtic sea power has been strangely neglected… Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, most of Book III of Caesar’s De Bello Gallico is devoted to the greatest naval battle he was ever called upon to mount…. No less than 220 ships, all larger than and superior in construction to those of the opposing Roman navy under Admiral Brutus.” These words from Professor Barraclough Fell set the truth of ancient worldwide travel and trade in motion.
- He is the champion of many and the outcast of his Harvard ‘cronies’ and otheracademics. There is no part of this planet were we will not show the Kelts or ‘keltoi’.
- The artifacts found near the mound builder’s main sites that came to me after doing this book include a Dream Dancer’s Mask of metal which weighs two and a half pounds.

CHAPTER SIX: Memphremagog:

- The Catholic Encyclopedia says: “Finally, Josephus and others identify Magog with Scythia, but in antiquity this name was used to designate vaguely any northern population.” Scythia is central to the birthplace of the Kelts as genetic research shows in 35-30,000 year ago time. ‘Phre’ is ‘fire’ from the ‘sun’ of Druidic or Heliopolitan sun worship which is the original root of Phremasonry according to Thomas Paine.
- The most telling evidence of European involvement in North America before Christ might be the ‘extinct’ or should I say ‘immortal’ North American horse that I think was like a Shetland Pony because there were no horses or artifacts thereof for the previous 5000years. Here is an archaeologist of note by the name of Quimby, whose report goes most un-noted: “1954 The Old Copper Assemblage and Extinct Animals. American Antiquity 20: 169-170. Quimby analyses an occurrence of deeply buried copper artifacts and associated animal bones near Fort Williams in southwest Ontario. The discovery, made in 1913 and 1916, was recorded in a geological report. Quimby reasons that the site may date to the Altithermal, approximately 3500-2000 B.C., and that the bones are those of the bison and the extinct native horse.”

CHAPTER SEVEN: Copper Making Secrets and Speculations About Crystalline or Stone Age Knowledge.

- I can show the reason for red ochre on Mungo Man’s skeleton (and many other cultures around the world) is possibly connected to the alchemical (shamanic) use of cinnabar. This was adequate payment for the Beothuk who were in the northern Hudson Bay route for copper when the earth had not yet rebounded much from the glaciers retreatbefore moving with their Keltic family to L’anse Amour around the 6th Millennium B.C.
- Here is something spiritual about the ‘immortal’ element of mercury to consider. “Cinnabar will become mercury, and passing through a series of other sublimations, it is again turned into cinnabar, and thus it enables man to enjoy eternal life.” This is from J. Bronowski’s book and TV documentary produced by the BBC called The Ascent of Man.

CHAPTER EIGHT: Pre-Columbian and Post-Christian Americans from Europe.

- In Tucson we have on-going digs of irrigation canals and a civilization from 2000 BC but in the 1920s another more recent ‘find’ was made. It was by the top people in the science and handled in the appropriate manner but met a cover up to equal what happened at Manitoulin Island. Here is a little about this story from Ancient American. “Translation of the combined Latin text told a surprising story: ‘In Memoriam Romani Actius: In memory of Romans Actius and Theodore,Consuls of great cities. We are carried forward on the sea (to) Calalus, {The site of present day Ocala in Florida, the name was taken from the Latin name of Porto Cale, Portugal. These Jews now meet the Toltecs and a man from the city of Rhodes – which was a key enduring fortification of the Keltic Phoenicians past the time of Posidonius who thought highly of them.} an unknown land (and) a people ruling wildly (Indians?). Toltezus (and) Silvanus are won over, Theodorus brings his forces from the city, Rhoda. And more than 700 are captured. No gold. They are (or shall be) banished from the city.
- {The metal tablets decipherment continues.}Theodorus, a man of the greatest valor, rules during 14 years. Iacobus rules during (after Theodorus) six years. God helping it (?) is not to be feared. In the name of Israel, Iacobus born again (in) the city…. Benjamin was king of the people. He came from Seine to Rome, the bravest of the Gauls…” The Benjaminites are central players in theintrigues of New World Order that are throughout history.

CHAPTER NINE: Debunkers and the Flat Earth Fiction.

- The web brings me the words of Theosophist scholars who add an important observation about the propaganda Rome used to gain ever greater control of this world. Rome as an Empire expanded whenever the people of Rome were dispossessed of booty from the evil wrought by their leaders. “Jewish scholars had already proved the similarity between the Laws of Moses and the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle and Pythagoras. Christians claimed that Jesus was a unique character, while the entire pagan world knew that the legends surrounding Jesus’ life were identical with those of pagan gods. Students of comparative religion recognized their similarity to the traditions of great spiritual Teachers who had preceded Jesus.”

CHAPTER TEN: Manitoulin Island and Mooring Stones.

- “The site’s discoverer (Lee) was hounded from his Civil Service position into prolongedunemployment; publication outlets were cut off, the evidence was misrepresented by several prominent authors among the Brahmins; the tons of artifacts vanished into storage bins of the National Museum of Canada; for refusing to fire the discoverer the Director of the National Museum (Dr. Jacques Rousseau), who had proposed having a monograph on the site published, was himself fired and driven into exile; official positions of prestige and power were exercised in an effort to gain control over just six Sheguiandah specimens that had not gone under cover; and the site itself has been turned into a tourist resort.” It has actually been built upon by a tourist campsite, just as the Kennewick Man site was covered over and pylons and trees sunk upon it the day before a congressional Bill was to take effect to protect it.
- Professor Emeritus James Scherz of the University of Wisconsin says: “More likely than not, they were but one of numerous peoples from around the world who wereattracted to the copper riches found in the Upper Great Lakes Region of ancient America.”

CHAPTER ELEVEN: Easter Island and New Zealand Kelts Before History.

- From respected scholars in India who have succeeded in decoding the Ilavarta language that is similar to the Rongorongo on Easter Island we have:
- “On this point it is worth noting that the account of ancient Indian history found in most textbooks is completely wrong. They make the Harappan Civilization pre-Vedic while the latest research shows it to be the other way. In fact, it belongs to the closing centuries of the Vedic Age. The idea that India was invaded by ‘Indo-European’ Aryans who destroyed the Harappan or Indus Valley Civilization and then composed the Vedas has been thoroughly discredited. The language of the Harappans is Vedic Sanskrit and their civilization was Vedic. This was known even before the script was deciphered. There are Vedic symbols all over the place at archaeological sites – likeVedic altars, the Swastika symbol and the ‘OM’ sign among others. The ‘Aryan invasion’ and the ‘Aryan-Dravidian wars’ were created by European colonial and missionary scholars, to serve their own interests.”

CHAPTER TWELVE: Yonaguni and the Kensington Runestone.

- “Dear Mr. Collins: I am a high school world history teacher, Cuban born and Princeton educated. With great interest I have been reading about Atlantis and I am concerned about a great many things from a historical perspective. Please let me share these with you. First, I have no delusions that, as a Cuban I am related to any Atlantean peoples – they were gone long before I arrived on the Earth. Second, I have a strong suspicion that when we find Atlantis, where you say it is, our world will never be the same. Our notions of what is and what was will be changed forever. Our theories about time and the existence of civilizations predating Greece and Rome will send shock waves that will reverberate through out theknown world.”

Magnetized water it is important for people to learn and understand the characteristics of water as this is the main problem today. Chemical tests do not show the effects of magnetization of water on the economy, environment and human health.

Regrettably government bureaucracy greatly delays the need for our type of water purification. Until they refuse to acknowledge that chlorine and phosphates used in water treatment are dangerous and do not purify and that magnetism is not a form of magic. This is a strange idea for North America and the Middle East and will not earn huge profits for companies that deal in phosphates and chemicals for water treatment.

Biological magnetism – How it works:

Every particle, atom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ and creature has a resonance at a certain frequency. Electro-encephalogram (EEG) tests show that the human brain produces a field of very low frequency (between 7 – 8 Hz).This field is the outer envelope of all electro magnetic activity of the brain cells. Naturally this field is connected to the earth’s existing field (Schumann Resonance) however it can also be influenced by artificial factors. (This is also the theory on which pace-makers are based) This influence can affect any cell, organ or body system. Exposure to magnetic fields at various biological frequencies can also have an influence on the body. Thus molecular changes can occur in body cells such as changes in speed of cell activity, enzymes both chemical and organic and also general changes in the body. This is one of the theories on which the Royal Rife Theory is based, only this theory is based on acoustic and electric fields instead of magnetic ones.

As you already know now, a wide range of biological influences can be caused by magnetic fields in laboratories. In 1982, scientists discovered that magnetic fields can influence the flow of ions in cell membranes, forexample an increased flow of calcium ions in a magnetic field led doctors to place magnets on both sides of a fracture and thus increase the calcium ionic flow and shorten the healing period. In 1985, even sodium, potassium and magnesium ions were proved to have a similar effect.

We also know that molecules are enriched when exposed to a magnetic field. Test results show that in muscle tissue, membranes, and retinas and in large molecules (including oxygen) there is enrichment. This enrichment helps interaction with other parts of the body. Cell membranes are made of liquid crystals and extremely sensitive to changes in body temperature. Magnetic fields can influence the liquids (elasticity) and other properties. It is enough to have a low power field to influence the chemical reaction and have an immediate effect on the body. Imagine one of your blood cells, it is made up of a membrane separating two bio-electric charges produced by activity between the potassiumion (+ ve) and the sodium ion (- ve). This activity is present in all parts of the body, in the nervous system, red blood corpuscles and in blood in general.

Take a blood sample and separate a single red blood corpuscle, put it under a microscope and bring a magnet near. You will observe a clear movement towards one side. The magnet “arranges” or polarizes the ions and the iron in the cells (an ion is an atom with a +ve or –ve electron) the direction in which the blood cells move is very important. The North Pole causes the blood to flow in an anti-clockwise direction and reduces the concentration of hydrogen. The South Pole causes a clockwise flow and increases hydrogen concentration. The South Pole creates positive energy and stimulates cell activity while the North Pole creates negative energy and slows down cell activity. If we can understand the basic effect of magnets on the control of the hydrogen ion, then we can understand the term pH better. Hydrogen ioncontrol is the most important chemical action that takes place in our bodies. Sickness and health depend on the way our bodies cope with the hydrogen ion.

Every organ and all body tissue have a concentration of hydrogen ions known as potential Hydrogen-pH. The hydrogen ion controls the acid and alkali levels of organs and tissues. When we learn how to measure and control the potential hydrogen we have solutions to health problems by using external energy fields. The body generally controls pH via the nervous system. Medical sources define this system as consisting of two parts. The Para-sympathetic and the sympathetic even though it is confusing, when we understand this it is possible to greatly improve our self healing ability, so please continue to read.

The sympathetic system stimulates the defensive glands, thyroid, the sex glands, the brain and ovaries by increasing the hydrogen ions in them and suppresses the stomach, liver, intestines,pancreas and the sympathetic muscles by reducing the hydrogen ions. The Para-sympathetic system does the opposite. It stimulates the stomach, liver, intestines, pancreas and the sympathetic muscles while suppressing the defensive glands, thyroid, sex glands, brain, heart and ovaries. This energy change is used to stimulate or suppress the activities of organs and tissues. If, for example, the heart beats too slowly then the sympathetic system stimulates it and when it beats too fast then the Para-sympathetic system slows it down. A proper concentration of pH is necessary for normal functioning of the nervous system.

If our body can maintain the required balanced energy field, it can be immune to disease. According to Dr. Richard Braringmeir, magnetic energy placed in a proper location in relation to infected areas is a simple way to return the body tothis balance. The doctor uses medium power magnets for 1 – 3 hours daily in most treatments but if extendedtreatments are necessary he uses magnets in the form of a “bio-bandage”, in other words, if the treatment is long then he prefers low power magnets, in short term treatments he uses magnetic bed lining and” bio-bandages”.

The research scientist Johann Grander says “water that has undergone magnetized treatment returns to its natural energy level, preserves essential minerals thus making it more digestible, magnetized water improves digestion as this treatment lowers surface tension and makes the water more conducive for nutrients.”

Water treated by bio-magnetism conveys oxygen to every organ of the body and creates an oxygen-rich environment and destroys anaerobic organisms (cancer is an anaerobic) It creates minute water clusters that enhance cell ability to cope with stress, neutralizes the pH in the water and brings it to the normal pH level of the body.

In the night sky, the expanses of space between the stars of the Milky Way appear to be empty. In fact this space is occupied by a very thin gas that is mostly hydrogen and that has mere traces (less than 0.1% by number of atoms) of other elements such as oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. The gas is also dusty; it contains grains of dust (particulate matter) that, like an interstellar fog, impede one’s view of the stars. This gas is not evenly spread in space, but is clumpy. Although on average there is approximately one hydrogen atom for every cubic centimeter of interstellar space, a clump may be one thousand or more times as dense as a comparable volume of average density. Since about 1970 astronomers have been finding that these denser regions contain a great variety of molecules; about 120 different molecular species have been identified in the interstellar medium. The study of these molecules in the Milky Way and in other galaxies is calledastrochemistry.

Astronomers identify interstellar atoms and molecules via spectroscopy . For example, interstellar sodium atoms that happen to be in a line of sight going from a point on Earth’s surface toward a bright star absorb light emitted by that star at a wavelength that is characteristic of sodium atoms (about 589 nanometers; 2.3×10−5 inches). Most interstellar molecules are detected by spectroscopic analysis that measures absorption or emission at radio wavelengths rather than those corresponding to visual light. Astronomers use large radio telescopes to detect radiation emitted by interstellar molecules. These emissions arise because the molecules are set to rotating when they collide with each other. The molecules lose energy and slow down in their rotations by emitting radiation at wavelengthsthat are specific for them, such that each emission is a “signature” of one type of molecule. For example, the molecule carbon monoxide, CO, may emit at various radio wavelengths, including 2.6 millimeters (0.1 inches), 1.3 millimeters (0.05 inches),0.65 millimeters (0.03 inches), and 0.32 millimeters (0.01 inches). Interstellar gas is usually very cold (around 10 degrees above absolute zero), but even under these conditions the molecular collisions are energetic enough to keep the molecules rotating and, therefore, emitting radiation. About 120 types of molecules have been identified in the space between the stars in our galaxy.

Sometimes these interstellar molecules may be located in warmer regions. If the gas of which they are a part is close to a star, or becomes heated because one clump collides with another, the temperature of the molecules may rise considerably, perhaps to several thousand degrees above absolute zero. In these cases, the collisions between gas moleculesare correspondingly more energetic, and molecules may be set to vibrating as well as rotating. For example, a carbon monoxide molecule, CO, vibrates to-and-fro as if the two atoms are connected by a coiled spring. A vibrating molecule also eventually slows down and loses energy (unless it is involved in further collisions) by emitting radiation that is again specific to that particular molecule. In the example of CO, that radiation has a wavelength of about 4.7 micrometers (18.5 × 10 −5 inches), the detection of which necessitates the use of large telescopes that are sensitive to infrared radiation.

The Milky Way, like all other galaxies, was formed from intergalactic gas that was essentially atomic. So where do the molecules come from? One can deduce that they are not left over from the processes that formed the Milky Way because scientists can detect molecules in regions in which they are (currently) being rapidly destroyed; therefore there must be a formation process inoperation now. For example, the hydroxyl molecule, OH, can be observed in rather low density interstellar gas regions (containing about 100 H atoms per cubic centimeter) in which it is being destroyed by stellar radiation in a time frame, typically, of ten thousand years. This seems a long time but because the Galaxy has been in existence for a much longer time (about 15 billion years), the OH radicals (and many other species) must have been formed relatively recently in the Galaxy’s history.

Simple collisions between O and H atoms do not lead to the formation of OH molecules, because the atoms bounce apart before they are able to form a chemical bond. Similarly, low temperature collisions between O atoms and H 2 molecules are also unreactive. Astronomers have now determined that much of the chemistry of interstellar space occurs via ion-molecule reactions. Cosmic rays (fast-moving protons and electrons pervading all of interstellar space) ionize molecular hydrogen (H2) and theresulting ions (H2+ ) react quickly with more H2 to form other ions (H3+ ). The H3+ ions drive a chemistry that consists of simple two-body reactions. The extra proton in H3+ is quite weakly bound (relative to the bonding of one proton to another in H2); in a collision an H3+ molecule easily donates its proton to some other species, creating a new molecule. For example, an H3+ ion reacts with an O atom to give OH+ , a new species and the OH+ then reacts with H2 molecules to make, successively, H2 O+ and H3 O+ ions.

This process of H abstraction finishes here, because the O+ ion in H3 O+ has saturated all its valencies with respect to H atoms. However, the H3O+ ion has a strong attraction for electrons because of its positive charge, and the ion-electron recombination leads to dissociation of the ion-electron complex into a variety of products, including OH (hydroxyl) and H2 O (water). Other exchange reactions occur; for example, CO may be formed through the neutral exchange.Similar ion-molecule reactions drive the chemistries of other atoms, such as C and N, to yield ions such as CH3+ and NH3+ . These ions can then react with other species to form larger and more complex molecules. For example, methanol (CH3OH) may be formed by the reaction of CH3+ ions with H 2 O molecules, followed by recombination of the product of that reaction with electrons.  

Ion-molecule reactions, followed by ion-electron recombinations and supplemented by neutral exchanges, are capable of forming the majority of the observed interstellar molecular species. Very large gas-phase reaction networks, involving some hundreds of species interacting in some thousands of chemical reactions, are routinely used to describe the formation of the observed interstellar molecules in different locations in models of interstellar chemistry.

The dust has several important chemical roles. Obviously, it may shield molecules from the destructive effects of stellar radiation. It alsohas more active roles. We have seen that free atoms in collision may simply bounce apart before they can form a chemical bond. By contrast, atoms adsorbed on the surface of a dust grain may be held together until reaction occurs. It is believed that molecular hydrogen is formed in this way (i.e., through heterogeneous catalysis) and is ejected from dust grain surfaces into the gas volume with high speed and in high states of vibration and rotation. Other simple molecules, such as H2 O, CH4, and NH3, are also likely to form in this way.

In the denser clumps where the gas is very cold, the dust grains are also at a very low temperature (around 10 degrees above absolute zero). Gas phase molecules colliding with such grains tend to stick to their surfaces, and over a period of time the grains in these regions accumulate mantles of ice: mostly H2O ice, but also ices containing other molecules such as CO, CO2, and CH3 OH. Astronomers can detect these ices with spectroscopy. Forexample, water ice molecules absorb radiation at a wavelength about 3.0 micrometers (11.8 × 10−5 inches), having to do with the O–H vibration in H2O molecules; the molecules do not rotate because they are locked into the ice. In instances in which such ice-coated dust grains lie along a line of sight toward a star that shines in the infrared, this 3.0 micrometer (11.8 × 10−5 inch) absorption is very commonly seen.

Interstellar solid-state chemistry can occur within these ices. Laboratory experiments have shown that ices of simple species such as H2 O, CO, or NH3 can be stimulated by ultraviolet radiation or fast particles (protons, electrons) to form complex molecules, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) containing several benzene-type rings. The detection by astronomers of free interstellar benzene (C6 H6) in at least one interstellar region suggests that this solid-state chemistry may be the route by which these molecules are made.

The primary rolethat interstellar molecules play is a passive one: Their presence in regions so obscured by dust that we cannot see into them using optical telescopes is used to probe these regions. The most dramatic example of this is the discovery of the so-called giant molecular clouds in the Milky Way and other galaxies via the detection of the emission of 2.6 micrometers (10.2 × 10−5 inches) wavelength radiation by CO molecules present in these clouds. The existence of these huge gas clouds, containing up to a million times the mass of the Sun, was not suspected from optical observations because these clouds are completely shrouded in dust. However, radio astronomy has shown that these clouds are the largest nonstellar structures in the Galaxy, and that they will provide the raw material for the formation of millions of new stars in future billions of years of the Galaxy’s evolution.

The radiation from molecules that we detect can represent a significant loss of energy from aninterstellar cloud. Some molecules are very effective coolants of interstellar gases and help to maintain the temperatures of these gases at very low values. This cooling property is very important in clumps of gas that are collapsing inward under their own weight. If such a collapse can continue over vast stretches of time, then ultimately a star will form. In the early stages, it is important that the clumps remain cool; otherwise the gas pressure might halt the collapse. In these stages, therefore, the cooling effect of the molecules’ emission of radiation is crucial. The formation of stars like the Sun is possible because of the cooling effect of molecules. Interstellar chemistry is therefore one factor determining the rate of star formation in the Galaxy. Astrochemists have shown that it takes about one million years for the molecules of a collapsing cloud to be formed; this is about the same amount of time as that required for the collapse itself to become established. Theaccompanying image illustrates a region of star formation in the Galaxy.

Astrochemistry also has a role that is particularly significant to the human species here on planet Earth. The planet was formed as a byproduct of the formation of the star that is the Sun, and is in effect the accumulation of dust grains that were the debris of large chunks of matter that subsequently impacted and stuck together.: Its aim is to study the transport of prebiological material in the Galaxy and the development of life within suitable environments in the universe. Earth is still subject to the occasional impacts of debris left over from the formation of the solar system. These impacts, now seen as a source of potential danger, in fact once brought prebiotic material to Earth. The oceans arose from the arrival of icy comets, and carbon, nitrogen, and elemental metals were brought by asteroid impacts. These elements and others are necessary for life on Earth, and a new discipline, astrobiology,is coming into being

Checklist #6: Does the online university offers financial aids to its student?

Most universities do offer some sort of financial aids to their students either in term of student loans, grants or scholarships. Unless you don’t need it, else try to access the financial aids information from their website, or call the admission officer of these universities to find out the details and to ensure you are qualified to apply them.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Cataclysm is the third expansion in the World of Warcraft series by Blizzard and has been long awaited by many. The Shattering of the world by the reemergence of Deathwing has allowed for Blizzard to redo both Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms to revitalize the game, while giving the player base another annoying boss to get excited about killing later in the expansion. It also afforded them with the ability to put forth several other changes, increasing the level cap to 85 and adding a few new zones including Vashj’ir, which is completely underwater. Goblins and Worgen were also added as playable races and several new race/class combinations. A unique profession, Archaeology, which requires one to farm endlessly for unique rewards, has also been added to the game.
What’s Good The Shattering – The Shattering was a good excuse for Blizzard to finally redo the entire world and fix awful questing zones that were almost entirely neglected by thecommunity. The changes are gorgeous and make questing 100x more fun. Azshara used to be a bleak empty zone that would only contain one or two people farming for the azure whelping pet, or searching for the Azuergos world spawn back in the day. Now it supports a large Goblin population and many entertaining quests. Time is money, friend – Goblins are here and about time too. Worgen are also available. Being the two new races added in the expansion, they can be seen everywhere you look across Azeroth. Goblins may have the best racial for penny pinchers, such as myself, where they always get a 20% discount at vendors. Goblins are sweet, simply because they make weird giant cannons like the one pictured below.

WoW Review Azshara Goblin Cannon

Dr. Jones – You too can be just like Indiana Jones, without the actual adventures, by picking up the new Archaeology profession. It definitely has some nice rewards, but if you are picking it up just to tryto get the new gear, you just might end up pulling your hair out. However, the cosmetic rewards are pretty sweet. Who doesn’t want to turn into a giant Naga Naz’Jar Honor Guard or a green AQ40 mount bug? Maybe they should add some dig sites to raids where you can have a close call with having your heart pulled out from your chest and thrown into the fire before your own eyes. Rubik’s cube difficulty – Heroics are hard… the first time through. After you learn the boss fights and the tricks to the trash, the heroics become insanely easy. They do definitely have a gear check requirement and are immensely fun when they still required CC to be used on every trash pull and when you can’t make any accidents at all on bosses. Note to Blizzard: please stop nerfing the heroic dungeons. Make sure that the majority of your group is comprised of people you know, otherwise you are looking at long downtimes and many wipes.

WoW Review Goblin Rocketway

Playby yourself – Questing has never been this much fun before in World of Warcraft.  It used to be a chore to level up a 2nd alt character, but now it has become extremely easy. There are so many advantages to leveling up new characters other than the awesomely revamped quests. You can generate a ton of gold just from leveling up, especially with gathering professions, and eventually you could cover most of the important professions to further advance your main character. Or you can simply enjoy the variety, as well as the single player experience. From level 1-60, you can pretty much knock out a level every 30-45 minutes. Not bad at all! Fly Like an Eagle – There is no mixed reality and cartoon characters running around for a basketball game, but you can fly everywhere within Azeroth now. Except for in the BC territories that are attached to Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms (Silvermoon City and Exodar). Flying not only makes leveling faster but it really allows you to explore zones andsee areas that you never noticed before. Prior to old world flight, I never knew how impressive the Ruins of Lordaeron are above the Undercity. Check it out if you haven’t, it’s pretty neat. I’m still trying to find the location that inspired the Arena map of the same name.

WoW Review Ruins of Lordaeron

Guilds matter – With the new guild leveling and rewards system, remaining in your guild actually means something. No more guild hopping as you won’t be able to access rewards and some perks without having previously hit a certain rep threshold within the guild. This also promotes more guild activity and cooperative play for guild runs. Now you really have an excuse to yell at the moron who goes off and pugs BH instead of waiting for a guild run to doubly benefit the guild from the guild exp/rep and keeping loot inside the guild.
What’s Bad Got no team – Rated BGs are just horrible. Takes 15-45 minutes for a queue and then you getmatched up against a team where everyone is rated over 2k with a few Gladiator and Defender of the Shattered World titles. Not fun to be steamrolled just based on their gear even though they don’t have proper strategies. Defense wins championships – No championships are at stake here, but the new Tol Barad world PvP zone is completely broken and it is extremely difficult for the attacking team to win. I’m just glad I’m Horde on my server as we maintain TB for 6 out of every 7 days. All you have to do is turtle with half the raid at one point and let the other half recapture whichever section the offensive team attacked when they move on to the next section. Capturing all three while on offense is near impossible.

/>WoW review Worgen

Twilight fan boys – Werewolves Worgen have taken over the Alliance cities. Everyone and their grandmother has race changed to a Worgen. They look funny and don’t require a mount, what’s so special about that? The sprint buff they get is nice, but where do they really fit in with the lore of Warcraft? As long as Blizzard doesn’t add Vampires to the Horde next, I think all will be well with the next expansion, whenever that is. Please don’t drop me – What’s up with the new drake mounts? You don’t ride them but instead are being carried in their claws, just dangling in the air. And when the mount is on the ground, you’re character is halfway beneath the world. I earned my Volcanic Stone Drake from the Glory of the Cataclysm Dungeon Hero meta achievement and it has taken me quite a while to get used to flying around without actually being able to see my character mounted.

WoW review Deathwing Destruction />
Fire is bad – Yes we all know that by now. Dying to Deathwing several times is annoying and you can only get the achievement once. I guess I have been unlucky to be in the wrong zone at the wrong time. I believe Deathwing picks one zone a day or it may be entirely random, but I’ve died three or four times to his destruction. Shouldn’t he be getting bored of just soaring over the skies burning everything in sight by now? If I had to do that for two months straight, I’d get bored. But maybe that’s just me. Dude, where’s my mana? – Healers are going through a hard time trying to adapt to the new ways of Cataclysm. No longer do they have endless mana pools like in WotLK, due to increased mana costs as well as a reduced mana regen. It isn’t entirely harder to heal, but considering you used to be able to spam one or two abilities in the past, healers are now required to play more efficiently, which is a difficult concept for a lot to grasp.

Modern medical science and Yoga are rational, scientific and universal in outlook and hence are natural allies. Their combination has the potential to provide us with a holistic health science that will be a boon for the psychosomatic health of our masses. Yoga involves a holistic approach to healing and  integrates healing with the culture, diet, environment, and tradition.

Modern allopathic medicine that originated from Greco-Roman Medicine and Northern European traditions is built on the science of anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry and the structure-function relationship between cells, tissues, and organs. Allopathic medicine focuses on diagnosis, treatment, and cure for acute illnesses via potent pharmaceutical drugs, surgery, radiation, stem cell and other treatment modalities.

Modern medical advancements provide the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques including Yoga to promote healing, health, and longevity. It isimperative that advances in medicine include the holistic approach of Yoga to face the current challenges in health care. The antiquity of Yoga must be united with the innovations of modern medicine to improve quality of life throughout the world.

Modern medicine has the ultimate aim and goal of producing a state of optimum physical and mental health thus ultimately leadings to the optimum well being of the individual. Yoga also aims at the attainment of mental and physical well being though the methodology differs. While modern medicine has a lot to offer mankind in its treatment and management of acute illness, accidents and communicable diseases, Yoga has  lot to offer in terms of preventive, promotive and rehabilitative methods in addition to many management methods to tackle emerging challenges like Obesity, Diabetes, Heart, Joint and Psychosomatic Disorders etc to modern medical science.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY:

The study of anatomy andphysiology is a great meeting point for modern medicine and Yoga. Yoga therapists and practitioners can benefit from the intricate and detailed ‘break-down study’ of modern medicine where the body is broken down into many systems, then into many organs, many tissues and finally into billions of cells including the emerging concept of stem cells. On the other hand the Yogic ” holistic” view of the Pancha Kosha (the five sheathed existence) can help modern doctors realize that we are not just, ‘one-body’ organisms but have four more bodies that are equally if not more important. We are a manifestation of the Divine and have, not only the physical body but also an energy body, a mental body, a body of wisdom and a body of eternal bliss. An understanding of the psychic anatomy and physiology of Nadis, Chakras and Bindus when coupled with the practical understanding of the details of the physical body can inspire real knowledge of the self in all health care personnel. Maharishi MaheshYogi has tried to correlate 37 areas of human physiology with 37 areas of intelligence or consciousness as available in Vedic literature. Some of the examples are the correlation between Nyaya and the Thalamus as well as Samkya and the types of neuronal activity.

In his excellent book, “The Shambala Guide to Yoga”, Dr. George Feuerstein says, “Long before physicists discovered that matter is energy vibrating at a certain rate, the Yogis of India had treated this body-mind as a playful manifestation of the ultimate power (Shakti), the dynamic aspect of Reality. They realized that to discover the true Self, one had to harness attention because the energy of the body-mind follows ‘attention’. A crude example of this process is the measurable increase of blood flow to our fingers and toes that occurs when we concentrate on them. Yogis are very careful about where they place their attention, for the mind creates patterns of energy, causing habits of thought and behavior that canbe detrimental to the pursuit of genuine happiness”. Professor Dr SV Rao, an eminent medical doctor and Yoga Scientist says, “Yoga is a science because it is verifiable. Yoga as a science of living is also an art. Yoga, therefore, may be defined as the science and art of optimum living”

PREVENTION OF DISEASE:

As per the concept of great Maharishi Patanjali, Yogic lifestyle that includes the Yama and Niyama can help prevent a great many of the modern diseases like Hepatitis B and AIDS. Cleanliness that is taught through Soucha can help prevent and limit the spread of contagious and infectious diseases. Mental peace and right approach to Yoga such as Samatvam (equanimity of mind) and Vairagya (dispassionate detachment) can help prevent many of the psychosomatic ailments running wild in the modern world. If these Yogic values as well as practices such as Asanas, Pranayamas, Kriyas and Dhyana are inculcated in the modern human race, we can preventvirtually all diseases that abound today.   However the ‘will’ to do so is also of paramount importance as there is no money or fame in prevention and we don’t know what we have prevented because we have prevented it from happening!

To quote the eminent neurosurgeon  Dr B Ramamurthi, “The widespread revival of the Science of Yoga by modern Yogic teachers and Gurus, bodes good for mankind. The only way to keep fit & healthy is through the Science of Yoga, which transcends all religions and cults. It is a science of the mind and the body and needs to be practiced by all human beings to ensure their own future”.

PROMOTIVE HEALTH:

The practice of Yoga leads to the efficient functioning of the body with homeostasis through improved functioning of the psycho-immuno-neuro-endocrine system. A balanced equilibrium between the sympathetic and parasympathetic wings of the autonomic nervous system leads to a dynamic state of health. Yoga not onlybenefits the nervous system but also the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, muscular, endocrine and immune system.

Hath Yoga introduced by Yogi Swatmarama, a sage of 15th century India, in his book  Hatha Yoga Pradipika, is the most practiced form of body discipline. In the last forty to fifty years, Hath Yoga has also been accepted as  ” Therapeutic Modality” all over the world , supported by many scientific studies Various types of yogic ‘ Kriyas’ or techniques, may be Asans, pranayama, mudras, bandhas and Meditation etc have been administered to demonstrate their effect on health and diseases in ascientific manner.

DISEASE REVERSAL

Yoga has a lot to offer in terms of psychosomatic disorders and in stress related disorders such as diabetes, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, epilepsy, hypertension, back pain and other functional disorders. Yoga can help reduce and in some cases eliminate drug dosage and dependence in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, hypertension, epilepsy, anxiety, bronchial asthma, constipation, dyspepsia, insomnia, arthritis, sinusitis and dermatological disorders.

Asanas are probably the best tool to disrupt any learned patterns of wrong muscular efforts. Pranayama and Pratyahara are extremely efficient techniques to divert the individual’s attention from the objects of the outer environment, to increase a person’s energy potential and ‘interiorize’ them, to achieve control of one’s inner functioning.

We must remember Plato’s words when he said, “The treatment of the part shouldn’t be attempted without atreatment of the entirety,” meaning that the treatment of the body without treating the mind and soul would be waste of time. Efficient medical scientist does the same. A smiling, caring physician with sweet voice and gentle touch is more of a Yogic therapist.

Yoga can help those recovering from accidents and physical traumas to get back on their feet faster and with better functional ability.

KUNDALINI JAGRAN

Lajpat Rai, an eminent Physiologist has conducted extensive study on Chakras and Kundalini Jagran. According to Kundalini Yoga, the potential energy located in the Chakras can be converted into kinetic form either spontaneously or by meditational practices. This phenomenon of conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy has been termed as “Awakening of Kundalini” which leads to self actualization. Kundalini Chakras are claimed to be vortices of energy spinning in circles like transformers. They are said to govern and regulate the flowand dispersion of power (etheric or pranic energy of yoga) in an electrical human infrastructure comprised of an extraordinary circuitry of 72 thousand subtle channels (sukshama prana nadis). Quantitatively, the five chakras on the spine are further claimed to be endowed with the qualities and attributes possessed and manifested by five cosmic elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether respectively. Intensive meditation on the chakras sites at spine and cranium by way of visualization of a given chakra symbolically in terms of a number of petals of a lotus, its colour, sound and other ingredients surcharges the body-mind-consciousness complex at all the five levels.

Sahasrara: The Crown Chakra

NEUROPLASTICITY

Thinking and engaging in activity can physically alter the brain, a concept called, “neuroplasticity”. Repeated thoughts and activities can turn our genes on or off.

Modern scientists have observed that when you thinkrepeatedly, concentrate or meditate, you turn on genes to make proteins that change the structure of the neurons and increase the number of  connections between brain cells. In essence, neurons become better communicators.

University of Wisconsin neuroscientist Richard Davidson demostrated the effect of meditation on the brain. He measured the brain activity of the novices and highly practiced Budhist monks, and found that , unlike the novices, when the monks meditated on “unconditional loving-kindness and compassion,” they generated powerful gama rays- the type involved in higher brain processes like perception and consciousness. Thus, the repeated mental activity of meditation altered brain functioning.

HEALTHY DIET:

Yoga teaches us that the cause of most disease is through under (Ajjeranatvam), over (Atijeeranatvam) or wrong (Kujeeranatvam) digestion. Yoga also teaches us about the approach to food, the types of food as well as theimportance of timings and moderation in diet. A combination of the modern aspects of diet with a dose of Yogic thought can help us eat not only the right things but also in the right way and at the right time thus assuring good health and longevity. Eminent Physiologist Prof Lajpat Rai in his vast scientific studies has given great importance to Yogic Dietary Regimen and has observed the effect of Fasting Therapy to buildup the internal milieu by restoring the homeostatic mechanisms.

RELAXATION:

Relaxation is a key element of any Yoga therapy regimen and must not be forgotten at any cost. Shavasana has been reported to help a lot in hypertensive patients and practices such as Savitri Pranayama, Chandra Pranayama, Kayak Kriyas, Yoga Nidra, Anulom Viloma Prakriyas and Marmanasthanam Kriya are also available to the person requiring this state of complete relaxation. It is important to remember that relaxation on its own is less effective than relaxationfollowing activity.

AGING:

Aging is inevitable and Yoga can help us to age gracefully.  Healthy diet, regular exercise, avoidance of negative thoughts & habits and cultivation of the positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle can help us to age with dignity. Yoga can also help our ‘silver citizens’ retain their mental ability and prevent degenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s and various other aging problems.  Swami Gitananda Giri, Yogashri Krishnamacharya, Kannaiah Yogi, Swami Suddananda Bharathi, Yogeshwarji, Yogendraji, Swami Ram Dev and  Padma Bhushan BKS Iyengar are but a few of the Yogis who have shown us that its is possible to grow old without losing any of the physical or mental faculties of youth.

LIFE STYLE CHANGES:

Yoga helps patients to learn to make an effort and change their life style for the better so that their health can improve. Life style modification is thebuzzword in modern medical circles and Yoga can play a vital role in this regard. Yogic diet, Asanas, Pranayamas, Mudras, Kriyas and relaxation are an important aspect of lifestyle modification. Dr Dean Ornish, an eminent American medical doctor who has shown that Yogic lifestyle can reverse heart disease. He says, “Yoga is a system of perfect tools for achieving union as well as healing.”

Scientists such as Dr BK Anand, Dr KK Datey, Dr KN Udupa, Dr B Ramamurthy, Dr W Selvamurthy, Dr T Desiraju, Dr Nagendra, Dr Nagaratna, Dr Shirley Telles, Dr MV Bhole, Dr Rajapurkar, Dr Mittimohan, Dr Lajpat Rai and Dr Madanmohan and Yogacharya Dr.Ananda BalayogiBhavananihave contributed extensively towards the scientific understanding of Yoga Vidya and Yoga Vidhi

Dr VSSM Rao writes that, “The tradition of Yoga is so perfect that we have to seek ways of expounding it in modern scientific terminology instead of simply evaluating it in terms of current concepts of science, which isexpanding so rapidly that a time may come when man would like to live by his intuition rather than by scientific planning, bristling with conflicts and balancing a number of variables not completely understood.”

This is because Yoga has a sound system of etiology, diagnosis and pathogenesis of disease. Thus, we have a complete system by itself in Yoga

Kundalini Jagran

The importance of Yoga in India is known from the time of Krishna which is evident from Gita.

Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita (vs. 16-17, Chapter VI) has said, “Yoga is not for him who eats too much or too little. It is not for him who sleeps too much or too little. It is for him who is temperate in food and recreation, temperate in his exertion at work, temperate in sleep, yoga puts an end to all sorrows”

With the increasing evidence gathered by modern medical scientists in coordination with Yoga practioners, they have no hitch to say their patients ‘Never fear shadows. They simplymean there is light somewhere nearby’

‘I burn my candle at both ends;

It may not last the night.

But oh! my friends, and ah! my foes,

It makes a lovely light.’
