Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Blue . The nightmares reflect one's mental status in terms of dreams . Ayurveda described the dreams . Doshas can be assessed from the dreams & vice versa . It can give a fair idea about the mentality of the person . Stress , Panicity are some reasons behind the dreams . Your thinking is right , that , many times dreams helps in diagnosing the health problem . Dr . Gandhi S . C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Since you first started posting, my intuition said you needed to have clearing of some energy that is with you. Your dream was a reminder to know how strong you are and what support you have not just in physical form. Don't be afraid. Perhaps you can find someone nearby skilled in regression therapy and luminous field, energy work. Blessings - you are a gift - believe.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Blue . The dreams are the reflections of the thoughts , mostly . What u think in any way , can be reflected in ur dreams in the same night or in the future . Many times it seems that in small children this dream factor is related to day to day activity too . Many times children feel to urinate in the dream . In the dream they go to Bathroom urinate . & in reality many times they are doing bed wetting , literally . The urge to have something or everything we want , more & more thinkings , dis - satisfaction , depression , less sleep , sleeping with reading some literature or novel or sleeping with watching movies or some T V programmes , leads to the dreams . The person himself should be calm & cool at the time of sleep . That's why , it is told to remember good thoughts ( Prayers of God ) at the bed time & then go to sleep . It have very positive effect . The peaceful & calm mind always rests better than depressed , hyperactive or stressed mind . So try to do this & u will feel much more better . Dr. Gandhi S. C.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Blue . Yes it is amazing . How the Mind works when the body is resting !! I told one incident & u got the experience about urself . Ayurveda always insisted on the Mind factor while treating any physical health problem for this purpose only . Sleeping pills is not the solution to overcome the dreams . U can do one simple thing . There is one therapy of Panchkarma called as Nasya . U have to do that therapy . For that , just put the 3 drops of sesame oil in both nostrils 2 hours before going to bed . Do this for 30 days regualrly . U will feel much better . U can do it for 3 months continuously to get better result . Dr. Gandhi S.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I missed the thread, but if children are having nightmares they can be helped. The aura is more permiable for children and they can hear and see many beings that we can not. To protect them we can take away all evil with salt - give them a salt water bath and then rinse them off before bed. We can also play chanting of hanuman chalisa in the bedroom, keep a bed light and tie a red thread to their arm. These will help WE can also pray before bed and tell the child to ask all spirits to rest and not disturb them _______________________________ i used to have those dreams when i was a child 3 -4 yrs old and would sometimes wet the bed.i also used to sleep walk. i still sleep walk sometimes.but even as a child i would have dreams that i was talking to ghosts/people who died.other times i would have the dreams that something evil is after me. it is really amazing how the mind works.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 I had gone through your mail. Take the exact map of your house as prepared by an architect and find the four corners in an exact distance. Then prepair four nails of 1 foot and nail down at the four corners of your house. Nailing down please dont look at the back unless you finish the job. I hope you will get the desired results.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 It is very possible that there can be spirits, for this we can use sage, cedar or frakinsense incense, wave the smoke with your right hand into all of the coners of your home. Sprinkle water around all the edges of every room of your home and ask for light. Try to keep a night light on at all times - the house should not be dark. You can use an image of Hindu God Hanuman or a native dream catcher on a window especially the windows facing west and south. If your doors open to west or south or south west hang a crystal or mirror in front of the door to deflect negativity - if you feel that the curse is coming from outside. If you want to share details I may be able to help you - I have done a lot of this work _______________ as strange as it sounds we believe our house is haunted.weird things happen in our apartment and in the downstairs apartment as well.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I had nightmare problems before. My family in India sent me Anjaneya Yantra. Yes surely chanting Hanuman Chalisa before retiring to bed can help.It helped me during those days. An alternative is listening to Vishnu Sahasranama ( 1000 names of Lord Vishnu ). Its available online and can be copied to your mp3 player/cd player. Regards, Pradeep _________________ if children are having nightmares they can be helped.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 The psychological problems described under the terms schizophrenia, unmad, bhut-unmad, nij-unmad, nightmares have attracted much discussion recently. A vivid patient experience was described in post 14762, 14664, along with experiences gained while using remedies offered by so called ghost busters. In Post#14888, apartment was felt to be haunted, and simple home remedies were offered in post 14911, which involved herbs, salt, and essences. Indians believe that Hanuman Chalisa is the strongest mantra which gives strength to the mind and takes care of fears, sudden bottlenecks in the projects etc. The purpose of this post is to touch upon this subject as Grahpeeda caused by placements in natal chart. This subject was already discussed under the anxiety and panic management post#13831, while specific role of Rahu/Ketu in medical astrology was discussed in post#12446. What remains now is the role played by Mandi, the leading planet causing psychosis and schizophrenia. Mandi is believed to exist only in south Indian astrology. The sudden difficulties, haunting, the effects of displeasing family deity etc are dealt with in details in south Indian texts on astrology. Phal dipika, Devkeralam, Saravali are some texts which touch upon the mandi as planetary satellite. There are others too, but we focus only on Mandi here, as it is important for psychological disorders. The planetary configurations which lead to such possibilities will be dealt with in this post. The level of deapth will be restricted to shallow, as several south Indian texts have given adequate exposition and should be consulted by a serious student of medico astrology. The Mandi, when associated with Badhak house or its lord, it gives malefic effects. Badhak house is 11th if the ascendent is a moving sign (Char sign, e.g. Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). 9th house becomes Badhak when ascedent is fixed sign(Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Acquarius). In case of variable signs as ascendants (Gemini, Virgo, Sagitarius, Pisces), 7th house is badhak. If Mandi is situated in Badhak house or is in conjuction with Badhak house lord, the risk factor for mental disorders increases. Haunting chances increase. Such person behave strange(become unstable) when moon transits over the natal mandi. If mandi is in conjunction with sign-lord(Rasipati), it becomes more powerful. Mandi occupying upchaya houses is considered less malefic, while its occupation in 8, 12 th house is more malefic. The houses where Rahu is considered malefic, same houses hold for Mandi also. Astrologers have rules to predict who died in the family/relations and whose soul is haunting the subject. In most cases, someone died at young age without enjoying the material life much. If a family member died due to the neglect by other members, or property share was denied, due to incurable disease, was murdered/poisoned etc, the mandi becomes stronger malefic as the signifactor of the past event. Depending on which house of the chart mandi is situated, the relationship of the person to the departed soul can be predicted. The house-lord of the mandi can also predict the profession of the departed person. While odd signs indicate male soul, even signs point to female soul troubling the patient. The rules are also given to predict at what age the haunting soul may have died. Mandi is also used in Prashna-chart(chart cast based on time the querry was communicated to the astrologer) to predict if the bottlenecks in the project or illness is caused by black magic by some enemy. Since the rules and calculations are complex, author omits them here. OF more interest to us are the remedies for Mandi's malefic actions. As Mandakini pointed out, the worship of Lord Hanuman is very useful when illness is caused by Mandi's presence in malefic house/sign. Mandi is considered the satellite of Saturn and son of Saturn in astrology texts. Hence worship of Saturn also helps overcome Mandi malefic effects. Thus Hanuman Chalisa, Fasting on Saturday, Giving away black urid dhal, sesame oil etc are believed to help. Nailing the horse-shoe shaped iron piece on door frame is one remedy people follow. In addition, Saturn is the disciple of lord Siva. Hence chanting Rudra mantra: " Om Namo Bhagvate Rudray " daily also becomes beneficial for the person suffering from malefic mandi. Maha-mrutyunjay mantra is also equally useful. Many other mantras, procedures are of interest to those who trust the " Karma-Kanda " , the subject matter open to belief and trust. In this field, mantriks (ghost busters) exploiting the sufferers is common. While vaidyas are comfortable, modern ayurvedic doctors avoid the subject of Grahpeeda, as it is not a evidence based medicine, and they are most of the time worried about the medico-legal aspects. To reduce the malefic effects of natal chart, plant Tulsi in the house at entrance. Tulsi has holy vibrations and takes care of many illnesses also. While all plants take in corbon dioxide and exhale oxygen, Tulsi is believed to exhale ozone, more active oxygen. Indian cow likes sunlight, Tulsi also flourishes in sunlight. Nature produces strongest wide spectrum medicinal herbs when herbs exploit sunlight for their growth. Strongest antibiotic, pesticide neem grows in arid areas, where sunlight is plenty and water is scarce. If you have some backyard, plant neem tree to take care of malefic vibrations. Burning cow dung cakes also takes care of ghosts, especially if the dried chillies are thrown in the fire. Several substances which cause holy smoke are used in Yagyas as offering ( " Aahuti " ) to fire. Most well known substance is Indian cow ghee, which is believed to create active oxygen when burnt in fire. That is why, cow ghee is used in lamps during worship in all indian temples. Author feels that calming the mind through breathing and meditation are adequate measures, if some selfless Guru teaches these techniques.
