Ho-o-ponopono

Ho-o-ponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and reconciliation. Ho-o-ponopono is a Hawaiian word that means 

• Correction
• Mental cleansing 
• To put things in order or place 

Traditional Hawaiian healers have been practicing traditional Ho-o-ponopono  for members of the community.  However modern versions are performed within the family by a family elder, or by the individual alone. Hawaiians believe that the sins of the father will fall upon the children. If a child is sick, the parents are suspected of quarreling or misconduct. In addition to sickness, social disorder could cause sterility of land or other disasters. Harmony could be restored only by confession and apology.

In 1976 Morrnah Simeona, regarded as a healing priest adapted the traditional Ho-o-ponopono of family mutual forgiveness to the social realities of the modern day. So this practice can be followed to solve a general problem  outside the family and can also be done individually as a psycho-spiritual self-help rather than group process. 

Ho-o-ponopono is about looking within ourselves for debts, errors or blocks in our subconscious mind that replay as problems, judgments, putdowns and all kinds of other problems. It is believed that when we say sorry it is taking 100% responsibility for whatever is going on in our lives. Chanting mantras and asking for forgiveness is the way where we are accepting that the problem is within us. We pray to the Almighty to convert our  unpleasant memory, debt, block, problem to nothing. When the Divine converts the block or memory to nothing, we return back to our original state, which is Zero or clarity. Only in the clarity state we can get inspiration and whatever is perfect for us. When we will look inside of ourselves, only then we be able to solve the world's problem.

When we do  Ho-o-ponopono, we ask the Divine to remove the faults from our subconscious mind and soul. When we bring peace to us, only then we will be able to bring peace in the world. We need to work on the way we perceive people all around us on a daily basis.  Ho-o-ponopono corrects, restores and maintains good relationships among family members and with their gods or God by getting to the causes and sources of trouble. Usually the most senior member of the family conducts it. He or she gathers the family together. If the family is unable to work through a problem, they turn to a respected outsider.

The process begins with prayer. A statement of the problem is made, and the transgression discussed. Family members are expected to work problems through and cooperate, not "hold fast to the fault". One or more periods of silence may be taken for reflection on the entanglement of emotions and injuries. Everyone's feelings are acknowledged. Then confession, repentance and forgiveness take place. Everyone releases each other, letting go. They cut off the past , and together they close the event with a ceremonial feast which is  symbolic of the release.

Learn Ho-o-ponopono from a reliable source in your locality. You can also learn it online through courses offered by Ho-o-ponopono practitioners. It is simple and easy to learn. Do try Ho-o-ponopono and see positive changes in your and your family's life.

Detoxify Yourself with Triphala

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical science which is based on herbs and plants based remedies. It has no side-effects if followed under an expert Ayurvedic physician. It has many general formulations that can be consumed by people on need basis.

One such remedy is Triphala. Triphala means "three fruits" in Sanskrit. It has following three fruits:

1. Amla- Indian Gooseberry - (Emblica officinalis)
2. Bibhitaki - (Terminalia bellirica)
3. Haritaki -  (Terminalia chebula)

The above three constituents are dried, powdered and mixed in equal proportion to make Triphala powder.

Triphala is highly beneficial and safe in keeping your colon clean. Every night, before sleeping, consume 1 to 3 teaspoons of Triphala powder with a glass of warm water. This will help reduce constipation, abdominal pain and flatulence and improve the frequency and consistency of bowel movements. Also it will  reduce intestinal inflammation and repair intestinal damage. Triphala is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women and should not be administered to children.

Ayurveda uses Triphala powder to support healthy respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary, reproductive, and nervous systems. Triphala has also been shown to be a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. 

Daily consumption of Triphala powder aids in removing plaque from blood vessels. Its anti-inflammatory activities lower the strain on blood vessels, ensuring smooth blood flow and circulation. 

Triphala powder promotes healthy eating habits and cravings by supplying the body with the full spectrum of natural tastes. By promoting healthy absorption and assimilation of nutrients, Triphala keeps the body feeling properly nourished and balanced.

Today's fast paced life causes various digestion and elimination issues. Consumption of junk food clogs your digestive system and fills your body with toxins. Triphala powder will help you to deal with this problem by gently cleansing your system. 

It is important to remember that modification of lifestyle and food habits is very important for sustained health. Triphala will help you detoxify your system. So don't think you can eat anything you like and let Triphala take care of the problems. Your health is your own responsibility more than anyone else's. 

Triphala should not be taken by pregnant and lactating women. Also people with diarrhoea, dysentery problems too should avoid consuming Triphala.

By and large, Triphala is a safe remedy for detoxification. It is not expensive and easily available. Try giving it a shot and see the benefits.

What is Access Bars ?

Access Conciousness is a alternative medicine organization that was founded in 1995 by Gary M. Douglas. It purports many non-specific benefits such as wakefulness and weight loss that can be gained through their special head massages, electromagnetic activation of chakra-like "bar points". They offer many books, video and physical classes, memberships and accessories. According to its founders, it is now practised in 173 countries by more than 10,000 trained facilitators. Though only a fraction of those are in India, the numbers are growing rapidly, mostly women.

Access Consciousness – informally called just ‘Access’ – is a kind of new-age thought movement originating in the US, the aim of which is “to create a world of consciousness and oneness, where everything exists and nothing is judged”. Part of the process is Access Bars (or just ‘Bars’), a kind of non-invasive energy healing modality that uses a set of 32 points on the head which, when lightly touched, are said to “stimulate positive change in the brain, release physical and mental blocks stored in the body, and help facilitate greater ease in all different areas of life,” according to the founders.

These points contain all the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, emotions, and considerations you have stored. This is an opportunity for you to let go of everything! Benefits of Access Bars are numerous. Hundreds of thousands of people have used Access Bars to change many aspects of their body and their life, including sleep, health and weight, money, relationships, anxiety, stress, and so much more.

Access Bars can feel like hitting the delete button on your computer’s cluttered hard drive. Things like negative thought patterns, or that endless mental chatter keeping you awake at night, can be released and make space for the calm you’ve been seeking.

Having your ‘Bars run’ (receiving a session) is relaxing and peaceful; imagine the after-effects of a great massage or walk in nature. At best, you can feel a sense of total ease, unlike anything else, that starts to change your whole life.

Green Tara Mantra

Mantra Chanting brings immense spiritual and physical benefits. Mantra is basically a series of words which helps release certain powers within you on chanting the same as per the prescribed process. It can help you attain your spiritual goal and also can be used for physical, mental and emotional health purposes. Mantras originated in the Vedic tradition of India, becoming an essential part of the Hindu tradition and a customary practice within Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism. Its literal translation would be "instrument of thought". 

Here I specifically recommend chanting of Green Tara Mantra as practiced by Buddhists. During the Corona pandemic, His Holiness the Dalai Lama — when asked for spiritual advice on the pandemic — suggested that chanting the Green Tara mantra could be helpful.

Tara is a female Buddha. She is the Goddess of compassion and the Mother of liberation. She manifests Her various energies as per Her colors. Green is the universal color of healing, regeneration, and growth. It is also the color of vibrant energy and activity. Green Tara therefore manifests healing energy, vibrancy, playfulness and activity.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama mentioned this about Tara:

"There's a true feminist movement in Buddhism that relates to the Goddess Tara…She vowed, 'I've developed bodhicitta as a woman. For all my lifetimes along the path I vow to be born as a woman, and in my final lifetime when I attain Buddhahood, then, too, I will be a woman."

Heal and rejuvenate yourself by chanting the Green Tara Mantra. 

The Mantra is " Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha".  

It means “I prostrate to the Liberator, Mother of all the Victorious Ones.” 

Click here to listen Green Tara Mantra

By chanting the Green Tara Mantra, we invoke Tara's power and grace to  protect us from danger, fear and bring within us compassion and selflessness. 

Guidelines for chanting Green Tara Mantra:

1. Have a bath and wear clean washed clothes
2. Make an altar with a picture or statue of Green Tara
3. Light an oil lamp and incense to the Mother. Offer Her some fresh flowers.
4. Sit in front of the altar on a mat. Don't wear shoes.
5. Silently say a small prayer to Green Tara for blessing you
6. Start chanting the Green Tara Mantra. You can do soft chanting or do it mentally.
7. Chant at least 108 times. You can choose to chant more if you wish. But do it in multiples of 108.
8. Do the above process at least once a day. You can do it 3 times a day too ( morning, afternoon and evening).
9. Ideally do the mantra chanting everyday at fixed time
10. Chant with devotion in your heart. Mechanical chanting should be avoided
11. Surrender yourself to Green Tara and seek refuge in Her

Eventually, after some days you will start seeing the benefits. You will become calmer, happier and stronger than before. Do not stop the practice after you get benefits. Keep following it to sustain the benefits and blessings of Green Tara.

A Beautiful Mind (2001 film)

How many of you have heard about Game theory ? I am sure very few know about it. Game theory has a wide range of applications, including psychology, evolutionary biology, war, politics, economics, and business. Despite its many advances, game theory is still a young and developing science. John Forbes Nash Jr. (June 13, 1928 – May 23, 2015) was an American mathematician who made fundamental contributions to game theory. John Nash is the only person to be awarded both the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and the Abel Prize.

So most of you will wonder how is this relevant to you ? Well, you may not realize this but your life is influenced heavily by the concepts of Game Theory. John Nash, has therefore made a significant contribution to your daily life. If you want to know about John Nash, then simply watch the movie made in the year 2001, A Beautiful Mind. This movie grossed over $313 million worldwide and won four Academy Awards.

In 1947, John Nash arrives at Princeton University for studying mathematics. He meets fellow math and science graduate students. Determined to publish his own original idea, Nash is inspired when he and his classmates discuss how to approach a group of women at a bar. Nash argues that a cooperative approach would lead to better chances of success, and develops a new concept of governing dynamics. He publishes an article on his theory, earning him an appointment at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). 

In 1953, Nash is invited to the Pentagon to crack encrypted enemy telecommunications, which he manages to decipher mentally. Bored with his regular duties at MIT, including teaching, he is recruited by the mysterious William Parcher of the United States Department of Defense with a classified assignment: to look for hidden patterns in magazines and newspapers to thwart a Soviet plot. Nash becomes increasingly obsessive in his search for these patterns, delivering his results to a secret mailbox, and comes to believe he is being followed.

One of his students, Alicia Larde, asks him to dinner, and they fall in love. On a return visit to Princeton, Nash runs into Charles and his niece, Marcee. With Charles' encouragement, he proposes to Alicia and they marry. Nash fears for his life after surviving a shootout between Parcher and Soviet agents, and learns Alicia is pregnant, but Parcher forces him to continue his assignment. While delivering a guest lecture at Harvard University, Nash tries to flee from people he thinks are Soviet agents, led by psychiatrist Dr. Rosen, but is forcibly sedated and committed to a psychiatric facility.

Dr. Rosen tells Alicia that Nash has schizophrenia and that Charles, Marcee, and Parcher exist only in his imagination. Alicia backs up the doctor, telling Nash that no "William Parcher" is in the Defense Department and takes out the unopened documents he delivered to the secret mailbox. Nash is given a course of insulin shock therapy and eventually released. Frustrated with the side effects of his antipsychotic medication, he secretly stops taking it and starts seeing Parcher and Charles again.

In 1956, Alicia discovers Nash has resumed his "assignment" in a shed near their home. Realizing he has relapsed, Alicia rushes to the house to find Nash had left their infant son in the running bathtub, believing "Charles" was watching the baby. Alicia calls Dr. Rosen, but Nash accidentally knocks her and the baby to the ground, believing he's fighting Parcher. As Alicia flees with the baby, Nash stops her car and tells her he realizes that "Marcee" isn't real because she doesn't age, finally accepting that Parcher and other figures are hallucinations. Against Dr. Rosen's advice, Nash chooses not to restart his medication, believing he can deal with his symptoms himself, and Alicia decides to stay and support him.

Nash returns to Princeton, approaching his old rival Hansen, now head of the mathematics department, who allows him to work out of the library and audit classes. Over the next two decades, Nash learns to ignore his hallucinations and, by the late 1970s, is allowed to teach again. In 1994, Nash wins the Nobel Prize for his revolutionary work on game theory, and is honored by his fellow professors. At the ceremony, he dedicates the prize to his wife.

The movie is a marvel to watch as it depicts the life of a great mathematician struggling with his mental health and still managing to sustain his genius talent. There are moments where you feel that John Nash must simply wind up and retire permanently to live a peaceful life with his family. His problems due to schizophrenia are so immense that you feel sorry for him and his family. His wife stands by him determinedly and ultimately John Nash comes out of his mental illness. With some support from his colleague, he slowly crawls back to normal life and sees super success. He is awarded the Nobel Prize in the end. It is almost unbelievable to see him come out as winner in spite of the severe mental illness. The movie gives us hope and reassurance that nothing is impossible to achieve if one is determined for it.  The other dimension of the movie is that it shows you the world of research, academics in big universities and how professionals work in such areas. Focus and dedication is required to succeed in the field of research.

This movie is meant for family view and I encourage it to show it to your school and college going children.

Oil Pulling for Dental Health

Oil Pulling is a simple and wonderful technique for maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. It has been practiced in India since ancient times and has gained considerable acceptance across the world for its huge benefits achieved in a simple way. Anyone can practice oil pulling technique. There is no age restriction whatsoever and the method is extremely simple.

Your mouth contains various bacteria. Your teeth too are coated with bacteria. While some are harmful, others are beneficial or neutral. The teeth are covered with a thin layer called plaque. Having some plaque on your teeth is perfectly normal, but if it gets out of hand, it can cause various problems, including bad breath, gum inflammation, gingivitis and cavities. You may brush your teeth twice a day. You may also use mouthwash frequently. But this is not enough to wash away or remove the bacteria. So what should you do ?

Simple ! Put a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth, then swish it around for 15–20 minutes. Just swish oil around the mouth, using it like a mouthwash. That's it ! This is called oil pulling. After 15-20 minutes of doing this, spit out the oil and then rinse your mouth with water. You will immediately start feeling improvement in your dental health. Follow this simple practice everyday and say permanent good-bye to bad breath. This is because bad breath is caused by smell of chemicals and gases produced by bacteria in your mouth. Oil pulling destroys these bacteria and so the root cause of your problem gets eliminated.

Do oil pulling in addition to brushing your teeth. It is also believed that oil pulling purifies your body too as the swishing oil leeches out toxins from it. This is another added benefit of oil pulling. Always use extra virgin coconut oil for oil pulling as the taste and quality of this oil is most suitable for the purpose. Other oils may be used only if this is not available.

Practice oil pulling and watch yourself becoming free from bad breath, gum disease and dental cavities.

Let There Be Light (1946 film)

Let There Be Light (1946) is a documentary film directed by American filmmaker John Huston (1906–1987). It was not released until the 1980's as its release was suppressed by US government earlier. 

So what was it that the US government didn't want the public to know ? Strangely, it is nothing that should have been secretive at all. The film is about the post war trauma that soldiers underwent after World War II.

The film begins with an introduction, stating that 20 percent of wartime casualties are of a psychiatric nature. After the war, soldiers were transported to hospital to be treated for mental conditions brought about by war. They were suffering from various nervous conditions such as psychoneurosis, battle neurosis, conversion disorder, amnesia, severe stammering, and anxiety states. 

Various treatment methods are employed to cure them. Treatments depicted include narcosynthesis, hypnosis, group psychotherapy, music therapy, and work therapy. 

One soldier who had amnesia, is hypnotized to remember the trauma of the Japanese bombings on Okinawa and his life before then. Another is given an intravenous injection of sodium amytal to induce a hypnotic state, curing him of his mental inability to walk. The treatments are followed by classes  and group therapy sessions. These sessions are designed to reintegrate patients back into civilian life.

Therapists make a point of reassuring the patients that there is nothing to be ashamed of for receiving treatment for their mental conditions, and that civilians subjected to the same stresses would develop the same conditions. The film ends with a number of the featured patients participating in a ceremony in which they are discharged, not just from the hospital, but from military service, and returned to civilian life.

The film is NOT enacted. All the scenes in the film are REAL and ACTUAL. The doctors, soldiers, patients, hospitals are all real and their treatment process has been captured on camera is REAL. 

A great takeaway from the film is how the mind is more powerful than the body. Most of our physical and mental problems are created by us through our mind. Seemingly, the problems are real for us. But actually, all the problems are self created by mind. The stark reality in the film displays this truth clearly and in a very easily understandable way.

The movie is available on YouTube as well as Netflix. It is a "must watch" movie for all, especially the urban population who face lot of mental stress in daily life.

You Can Heal Your Life (Book)

You Can Heal Your Life is a best seller, self-help book by Louise L. Hay. This book has transformed the lives of millions of people. It offers profound insight into the relationship between the mind and the body. It explores the way that limiting thoughts and ideas control and constrict us and teaches us a powerful key to understanding the roots of our physical diseases and discomforts.This practical self-help guide will change the way you think forever!

The key premise of the book is that because the mind and body are connected, illnesses of the body somehow have their root causes in emotional and spiritual aspects of the mind and its beliefs and thought processes. While modern medicine concerns itself with eliminating symptoms of disease in the body, using tools such as chemotherapy and other pharmaceutical drugs and various surgical techniques, Hay's approach is to identify and work to resolve what she perceives as the mental root causes of disease. Hay believes that the causes of "dis-ease" include stress and unhealthy thought patterns and beliefs about oneself, and postulates that the most fundamental way to affect positive change in the body is to change the way we think, using tools such as "mirror work" and affirmations. At the end of the book, a separate section lists numerous illnesses and various emotional thought patterns that Hay believes causes them.

The key message in the book is: "If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed." The author has a great deal of experience and firsthand information to share about healing, including how she cured herself after being diagnosed with cancer. The author explains in her own words " I believe that everyone, myself included, is responsible for everything in our lives, the best and the worst. Every thought we think is creating our future. Each one of us creates our experiences by our thoughts and our feelings. The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences."

Purchase your own copy from Amazon or your nearest book store. This book will help you a great deal in understanding life and ways to manage it.

Fight Pollution with Indoor Plants

Your home and office are breeding houses of pollution. You may not be aware of it. Outward cleanliness may fool you to believe that your home/office is perfectly clean and healthy place to work. There are many types of pollutants in your home/office environment . Indoor air pollution is a very real and dangerous thing because indoor air is far more concentrated with pollutants than outdoor air.  City people spend about 90% of their lives indoors. Polluted indoor air creates a dangerous situation for them. Following is a list of indoor pollutants:

• Solvents and chemicals due to perfumes, hair sprays, furniture polish, glues, air fresheners, moth repellents, wood preservatives, and many other products used in the house. They cause damage to ear, nose and throat.


• Tobacco smoke which is harmful for active as well as passive smokers. It is bad for eyes, ears, nose, lungs and throat.


• Pesticides used within home/office premises can cause allergies and other physical disorders.


• Biological pollutants such as pollen from plants, mite, hair from pets, fungi, parasites, and some bacteria. Most of them are allergens and can cause asthma, hay fever, and other allergic diseases.


• Formaldehyde which is a gas that comes mainly from carpets, particle boards, and insulation foam. It causes irritation to the eyes and nose and may cause allergies in some people.


•  Asbestos (used in roof material)  causes cancer.


•  Radon which is a gas that is emitted naturally by the soil. Due to modern houses having poor ventilation, it is confined inside the house causing harm to the dwellers.

A very simple and natural way to fight indoor pollution is to place healthy indoor plants in your home/office. Following is a list of indoor plants that can be used. They are easy to maintain, inexpensive and help to fight indoor pollution.

1. Snake Plant: Snake plants have also been shown to filter out nasty chemicals, like benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and toluene, so you can breathe easy having this in your home. 


2. Pothos: Pothos filters benzene, formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene.


3. Dracaena: It removes benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and xylene.

Calcium Citrate Malate

If you are over 30 years old,  then please read this article. After the age of 30, calcium levels start depleting slowly from your body due to many factors such as less physical activity, lack of Vitamin D, wrong food habits and slower metabolism. Not necessarily everyone will face this issue. But it is highly probable. That is why most people after 45 years of age, start having backaches, joint pains. These pains do not start in one single day. Calcium is essential for maintaining body health. Your body needs it every day not just to keep your bones and teeth strong over your lifetime, but to ensure proper functioning of muscles and nerves. Calcium helps to maintain normal bone density and development. Over the years after 30, your body starts losing precious calcium and eventually the symptoms start showing in later years. A visit to your doctor will make you test your Vitamin D and Calcium levels. If found insufficient, you will be given supplements. Note that deficiency of Vitamin D causes loss of calcium too. Often the calcium supplement doctors prescribe is Calcium Carbonate. So even you start taking this regularly over a long period, you will still find the calcium level is not rising sufficiently. Why ? Simply because you are taking the wrong calcium supplement. The correct calcium supplement is Calcium Citrate Malate (CCM). 

CCM effectively promotes the consolidation and maintenance of bone mass. When dissolved, CCM releases calcium ions and a calcium citrate complex. Calcium ions are absorbed directly into intestinal cells, and the citrate complex enters the body. In conjunction with vitamin D, CCM decreases bone fracture risk in the elderly, slows the rate of bone loss in old age, and is of benefit to the health and well-being of postmenopausal women. CCM can be consumed with or without food and delivers a significant nutritional benefit to individuals of all ages. The chemistry of CCM makes it a particularly beneficial calcium source for the elderly and those on medications that decrease gastric acid secretion. CCM is also recognized as a calcium source that does not increase the risk of kidney stones, and in fact it protects against stone-forming potential. The versatile nature of CCM makes it a convenient and practical calcium salt for use in moist foods and beverages. Check with your doctor on whether you need above and take CCM supplement accordingly.
