Yoga and Nervous System

An agitated nervous system fails to receive the Spirit's guidance, just as a warped antenna cannot receive television signals properly. The nervous system feels joy and sorrow, initiates laughter and tears. However, when under stress, it fumbles through its job, and so do we. In our yoga practice and in life, we must protect our nervous system and ensure that it lives in a state of equanimity.

During your yoga practice, regularly pause and feel what you are doing, both while you are practicing the pose and after your body creates a mind-body connection, calming your nervous system and fostering peace. Doing is the state of moving toward the future. Feeling is the state of being in the moment. Peace reveals itself only when we are completely present, feeling what is happening in the Now.

In our society, we are always being hurried along, running from one task to another like frustrated rats on an eternal treadmill. Our poor nerves rarely get a chance to rest, to breathe. When I first taught in America, in 1980, I was astonished to see that many students would shut their eyes while doing asana in an effort to relax, yet when they would lie down in Shavasana, their eyes would pop wide open! When it was actually time to tune in to the trauma and tension in their nervous systems, they were afraid to face the demons within, and peace was denied them.

Slow, deep breathing is the nervous system's best friend. Rapid breathing increases the heartbeat and stimulates the nervous system, thrusting it into the sympathetic mode, the fear response of "fight or flight." Holding the breath creates even more nervous tension and can increase blood pressure dramatically, thwarting any prospect of peace. On the other hand, lengthening and deepening each breath slows down the heartbeat and calms the nerves, inviting peace. Therefore, always be consious of your breath while practicing, and put to use the blessed power of slow, deep breathing, especially when working at your edge.

The nervous system is agitated by jerky movements and by the trembling caused by working too hard or too long in a pose. There is no virtue in holding poses to the point of strain, for the benefits of holding quickly fade and even turn into detriments. Also, after intense poses, some yoga teachers encourage their students to "shake it out" in order to release tension. Shaking agitates the nerves. Isn't it far better to be still and, with a focused, peaceful mind, melt the tension with deep breathing and awareness?

Why Book Authors Need Their Own Websites

Many book authors decide that they do not need their own book author websites. These authors feel that they can get enough exposure by listing their book on the various online book sites.

Yet, if you are truly interested in giving your book the best online marketing opportunities, you need to have your own book author website.

To begin with, if you use social media networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to promote your book, you will want to include a URL link that sends people to a dedicated book author website to show that you are a serious book author.

You don't want to use a URL to a shared site where people can get distracted with the other books available and forget about checking out your book. This is especially true about Amazon - do not tell people they can find your book on Amazon. Give them the exact URL to the Amazon page with your book on it. (Because that URL is quite long, use a shortened URL site to create a shortened URL for your book's Amazon page.)

Second, you want to be able to offer a sample chapter on your site in order to entice potential purchasers to buy the entire book. This sample chapter can also be used to encourage people to give you their name and email address by using an email opt-in function.

If you have this email information, you can keep yourself in front of people who might not have bought your book the first time they visited your site. Now you can send out emails that provides news of your book and your next book.

Being able to include book club discussion questions is another reason for having your own book author website. Plus you have the opportunity to add book audios and book videos.

Then there's the advantage of having your blog on your book author website. With the constant addition of fresh material, you make the search engines happy with your site. The result of this is to help your website come up higher in the organic search results when someone is looking for a book related to the topic of your book.

Of course, you can add your own book signings and book event dates to let your fans know when and where they can meet you in person. And you can add book reviews and testimonials to encourage potential purchasers.

The bottom line is that, if you have your own book author website and you can control it yourself, you can greatly increase your online marketing opportunities.

6 Things How Super Parents Raise And Unleash Smart, Healthy, Happy Baby Genius

Here are six key concepts which can make a substantial impact on how you interact with your child from the earliest moments of life.

Concept #1. Start Early

The infant brain develops rapidly from the earliest moments of life. Learning can and does begin as early as prenatal-while the child is still in the womb.

- If you are pregnant, then start talking to your baby and play classical music and foreign languages for him.

Concept #2. Make Connections

Brain circuitry develops and grows through connecting cells with information links. The more information links, the more learning capacity.

During the first three years, the creative, highly photographic, sensitive brain is wide open to impressions of all kinds. The brain quickly scans, catalogs and links all new information to the stored images where an association can be found. Connections (synapses) are formed at supersonic speed supplying and further fortifying wonder and curiosity in the mind of a child.

- Teach your child through as many senses as possible using flashcards, classical music, world languages, sensorial toys and games.

Concept #3. Use Quality Stimulation Now (Flashcards, Music and Languages)

The rate of brain regeneration and growth decreases after an infant has reached about 12 months of age. Any cells that are not used will gradually, naturally die off. Overall neurological capacity is determined at a very early stage in life.

University of Chicago neurobiologist Peter Huttenlocher discovered critical information about brain growth. His research showed just how fast the early brain grows. A 28-week-old fetal brain tissue sample showed 124 million brain connections. A newborn brain tissue had 253 million connections, and an eight-month-old infant had 572 million.

"But the growth of the number of connections, Huttenlocher soon learned, slowed down by the end of the first year and stabilized at about 354 million per tissue sample. He says, 'It was strange... The number of connections kept going up and up and then they started to go down.'

"His research proved that the fetal brain overproduces cells and that unless they find a connection or a 'job' to do in the body, they die off. He says that under stimulation and lack of interaction with the outside world causes the cell death. The future number of brain cells could vary by as much as 25% depending on the quality and quantity of enrichment offered to the learner."

- Maximize the precious first three to six years of your child's life with a high-quality educational program and loving bonding time.

Concept #4. Teach Both Brains

The brain is divided laterally into two hemispheres-and although they are designed to work together, each has a vastly unique personality and abilities.

Drs. Robert Ornstein and Roger Sperry's "split-brain" research revealed that we have two distinctly different brains: the right and the left. The left side of the brain processes linear, concrete factual information and is key in language and logic. The right side of the brain processes random, creative, intuitive, multi-sensorial images.

Each side of the brain exhibits certain characteristics:

Left Brain Characteristics Right Brain Characteristics
Conscious awareness Subconscious awareness
Logical thought Abstract thought
Short term memory Long term memory
Slow input Fast input
Linear, sequential, reason Creative, imaginative
Relies on physical senses Relies on intuition
sight, sound, taste, touch, smell resonance with frequencies

Subsequent studies have revealed that each hemisphere contains some of the abilities of the "other side." Modern education addresses left-brain development. Now we know that when the right hemisphere is developed, the entire brain is activated and all areas of mental performance improve.

-Your child needs to effectively utilize and involve both hemispheres in learning with fast, playful input (right brain) and logic (left brain).

Concept #5. : Maximize the Right Brain Window

The outer cortex of the brain develops from right to left, providing a window of time where an infant is primarily functioning with the right hemisphere.

The brain, like every other organ in the human body, develops and grows at an astounding rate from the moment of conception. The brain develops up from the stem to midbrain to the outer cortex, or cerebrum. As the neocortex develops, the midbrain links to the right hemisphere first and does not begin to link to left brain conscious thought until the child is about age two. This period of development is what we refer to as the "Right Brain Window"-there is no left brain interference or filter of incoming information. This means that the right brain is WIDE OPEN for learning input.

After age three, children begin to actively shift to the logical left hemisphere of the brain. At this point, if the right hemisphere is left unchallenged or unused-or if a child is in a predominately left-brain learning environment-then the left hemisphere will dominate.

- Give your child as many flashcards and other types of high-quality input as possible during the 0-3 year period. Afterwards, keep the right brain open with playful right brain games.

Concept #6. : Be Happy!

The brain is sensitive to subtle frequencies: light waves, sound, thought and emotion.

The left brain works with tangible facts taken in through the outer senses-sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. The right brain recognizes the subtle wave frequencies of light, sound, thought, emotion and magnetism that is not always apparent to the outer senses. The abilities of the right brain are fully explainable when understood within the context of frequency. Light, sound, emotion and thought all travel in waves. These frequencies are utilized in right brain education.

- Teach to all of your child's senses, including through emotion and thought. Learn how to center your emotional states to reflect peace, calm and love toward the children in your care.

Right Brain education potentially unlock your child potential to have photographic memory, speed reading, multiple language acquisition, computer like math calculation, perfect pitch music, intuition, creativity, invention and advance 3D visualization. Every child born with genius

Treat Panic Attacks Without The Use Of Medication

Is it possible to treat panic attacks naturally? Yes! In fact, natural treatments are gaining popularity as the best way to treat panic attacks.

A panic attack is...

... a brief episode of intense anxiety, fear or apprehension. An attack is usually accompanied by physical symptoms that may include heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, shaking or dizziness.

Number of people who suffer from attacks

Over 6 million adult Americans suffer from panic attacks, according to the National Institutes of Mental Health. But, many researchers believe that number is a low estimate, because many people who experience attacks never receive the proper diagnosis.

This is what happens in your brain during an attack

When you are having an attack, your mental activity moves from the front of your brain where the rationalization takes place to your mid brain where survival mechanisms such as fight or flight originate from.

In short, when you experience an attack your midbrain becomes more active, resulting in the heightened state of fear and panic.

Medicine

Medicines used most often to treat anxiety and panic include the following;

* Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) such as prozac, Luvox, Zoloft, or Paxil

* Bezodiazepines such as Xanax, Valium, Librium, and Klonopin, or Ativan

* Anti-depressants such as Tofranil, Pamelor, Elavil, and Anafranil, or Norpramin

The typical approach to treat panic attacks is with medications. However, natural treatments are gaining popularity as the best ways to treat attacks.

Treat panic attacks naturally

Have you heard about a book called Panic Away written by Joe Barry? Not? It is about time you do!

Why?

Because Panic Away offers a powerful and simple technique for curing anxiety and panic. This technique is called the One Move Technique and has already helped tens of thousands of people to eliminate general anxiety, panic attacks and panic disorder.

(Because of copyright, I would like to say that this is my perception of what the One Move Technique is.)

One move technique - How does it work?

The One Move technique is a technique that helps people move mental activity away from their impulsive mid brain back to their rationalizing forebrain before, or during an attack.

This technique is safe and easy to apply and is based on well-tested cognitive psychology and science.

My personal experience with the One Move Technique

I suffered from anxiety and panic for fifteen years. My symptoms were pretty extreme. My heart would race. I would have difficulty breathing. Sometimes I would even feel like I was loosing control.

I tried several different methods to cure my attacks, but without any success. Then I found the One Move Technique. Very soon after I started using this technique my attacks went away and my anxiety decreased drastically.

Now I am free from attacks and happy to say that I have come back to my previous self. I can smile again... and it is all thanks to the One Move Technique.

Treat panic attacks and anxiety today!
