Beating Mental Stress

------------------------------

 

 

 

Let me introduce myself, My name is Chaitanya Swarup

Das, I'm new in this forum, I am also a beginer in Jyotish

Ved , but I have a valuable Experience in Ayur Vedic Med.

and is my intention to share with all of you my realization in this

field.

I have read the thread called ' A bad Year'

 

So I decided to post something

As we all know time pressure is one of the major reasons

for stress in modern life, according to Dr. John Garrison at the

Lahey Clinic in Burlington, MA. All that mental pressure of

making too many decisions, staying up late, and rushing

around aggravates Prana Vata, which is the aspect of Vata

that governs mental functions. This is my own personal

Experience too.!

 

"Once Prana Vata is out of balance, that imbalance spills

over into other subdoshas of Vata, such as Samana Vata,

(concerned with digestion) and Apana Vata (concerned with

elimination)," says Vaidya Mishra. "This can cause

digestive and eliminative problems such as constipation."

 

The digestive problems . "People start to accumulate ama, the sticky

waste-product of incomplete digestion," says Vaidya Mishra.

"Then they feel even more stress because the ojas level

gets disturbed and the coordination between mind, body,

senses and the Self is disrupted."

 

The result? Stress sky-rockets and immunity plummets. For

this situation, Vaidya Mishra and many other Contemporary

Rishis and Pandit will recommends a Vata-pacifying

diet, daily routine, and lifestyle. To pacify Vata, it

helps to eat warm, cooked foods, to avoid overeating or

skipping meals, and to eat regularly. Eating more of the

sweet, sour and salty tastes -- and eating less of the

astringent, bitter and pungent tastes also helps. And

remember that "sweet" means rice, wheat, and milk, and not

so much the concentrated, heavy sweets associated with

festivities and other celebrations. One thing to remember is

to consider your personal circunstances, who you are , age,

Ocupation, habitat, Time of the Year, time of the day, Season,

Clinic History, Digesting capacity ,State of Agnis, habits,

Varna, Ashram , and so on.

 

ANOTHER GOOD THING TO DO

 

Going to bed early can go a long way toward soothing Vata,

as can rising by 6:00 a.m or before ( Brahma Muhurta time)

and getting light but regular exercise (a brisk walk is ideal).

Practicing the Chanting of the Maha

Mantra Hare Krishna , ( my personal choice ) , Focus your 5 senses

in the transcendental

Doing Asanas, Tai Chi or Transcendental Meditation program

regularly. And not to forget to listen your own body , a good point

to start is NEVER repress 'the non-suppressible physio

logical demands' , and using the common sense is a good way to

combat stress in any season.

 

 

There are many Ayur Vedic Products in the market, that can

help or can harm you, it depends of your expertice and your Good

Karma in meeting an HONEST Practitioner

Watch the money oriented !!! and use Herbal products

that help soothe Vata dosha Rasayanas for example.

The Idea is to directly target Prana Vata and bring balance to all

mental

functions. Vata Tea is a delicious and soothing drink for

the winter holidays, and you can serve it to your whole

family to help everyone stay calm and settled.

In General follow the advise of your local Vedic practitioner

contains all six tastes but higher concentrations of the

specific tastes that soothe Vata dosha.

 

REMEMBER

It happens that overemphasize to correct one DOSHA

brings another unbalances.!

 

Finally, treating yourself to a self-massage using the

Moisturizing Herbal Massage Oil such as Maha Narayana

if you can cope with the smell good if not , use sesame oil

with some Essential oil , then take a warmth bath

is a great way to soothe your whole mind and body

and balance Vata dosha.

 

And the last

All the above advices are proven facts, but in the end

the will of The Supreme Lord is the last word.

 

I wish to have more time to attend every body's personal problems ,

but I have limitations and needs too.,

in any case if you really need an advise ,

I'll share my experience and do my best

Soothing Emotional Stress

------------------------------

 

Emotional trauma , due to painful

memories or family conflict, usually results in an

imbalance in Sadhaka Pitta, the aspect of Pitta dosha

concerned with the emotions and the heart. Once Sadhaka

Pitta is disturbed, it reflects on Pachaka Pitta (which

governs digestion) and Ranjaka Pitta (which governs heat in

the blood). "Emotional trauma can stimulate a person to eat

more," explains Vaidya Mishra. "That is why depressed

people tend to overeat, which overloads their digestion,

and results in weight gain and skin breakouts after the

holidays ( some times )."

 

Even though people eat more sweets and junk food to relieve

emotional stress, they actually create more digestive

impurities (ama), intensifying depression. "In this

situation, the person creates more reactive ama, more

Pitta-charged ama, which agitates their emotions even

more," explains Vaidya Mishra. "The heart and mind no

longer communicate in a friendly way, and then the person

becomes even more depressed."

 

Stress-Free Suggestions

 

"There are two kinds of stress that can develop in our daily

life "One is created by an imbalance in Vata dosha, caused

by too many thoughts, too many expenses, and social pressure.

And the second one is for people, who have and strong emotional

impact, lost a beloved one ,a large amount of Money , bad business,

Gambling etc . This is caused by a Pitta-based, emotional

imbalance."

 

Indeed, statistics show that suicide and depression

actually increase around the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving,

Christmas, and New Year's. Fortunately, a Good Ayur Vedic

diagnosis with a Rational Treatment and God's Grace can

offer relief for stress-mental and emotional.

 

Hope the above helps

in the service of Sanata dharma
