” முதுகு வலி… முதியோருக்கு மட்டும் சொந்தம் அல்ல …” !!!

• வாரத்தில் ஒரு நாளாவது உடல் முழுக்க எண்ணெய் தேய்த்துக் குளிக்க வேண்டும். உடலில் எண்ணெய் தேய்த்து மசாஜ் செய்து குளிக்கும்போது ரத்த ஓட்டம் சீராகும். இதன் மூலம் எலும்பு மூட்டுகளில் உயவுத்தன்மை குறையாமலும் பார்த்துக்கொள்ள முடியும்.

• அடிபடுவதாலும், ஒரே இடத்தில் உட்கார்ந்து வேலை செய்வதாலும் ஜவ்வுகளில் பாதிப்பு ஏற்படும். எனவே, ஓரிடத்தில் தொடர்ந்து உட்கார்ந்துகொண்டே இருக்கக் கூடாது. குறிப்பிட்ட நேர இடைவெளியில் எழுந்து சிறிது தூரம் நடந்தால், பின்னால் பெரிதாக வரும் பிரச்சினையைத் தவிர்க்கலாம்.

• கழுத்து ஜவ்வு பாதிக்கப்பட்டால் வீக்கமும் வலியும் ஏற்படும். கம்ப்யூட்டரின் முன் தொடர்ந்து உட்கார்ந்து பல மணி நேரம் வேலை பார்ப்பவர்களுக்கு இந்தப் பிரச்சினை வரலாம். அதற்கான சிகிச்சை எடுத்துக்கொண்ட பிறகு, கழுத்துக்குத் தனியாக உடற்பயிற்சி செய்ய வேண்டும்.

• சம்மணம் போட்டு உட்காருவதைத் தற்போது மறந்து வருகிறோம். குறைந்தபட்சம் வாரத்துக்கு ஒரு முறையாவது சம்மணம் போட்டு உட்கார்வது முதுகுத் தண்டுக்கும் இடுப்புக்கும் நல்லது.

• வலி குறைவாக இருக்கும்போது உடற்பயிற்சியின் மூலம் அதைச் சரி செய்துவிடலாம். சிலருக்குப் பிறக்கும்போதே முதுகுத் தண்டு வளைந்து காணப்படலாம். இது பிறவி குறைப்பாடு. உடற்பயிற்சி மூலம் இக்குறையை மட்டுப்படுத்த முடியும்.

• உடற்பயிற்சி செய்யும்போது தசைநார்களுக்கும், எலும்புகளுக்கும் வலு கிடைக்கும். தசை வீக்கமாக இருந்தால் முதலில் பாதிக்கப்படுவது எலும்பும் ஜவ்வும்தான். எனவே, உடற்பயிற்சி முக்கியம்.

• முதுகு வலி உள்ளவர்கள் தும்மும்போது, பார்த்துத் தும்ம வேண்டும். தும்மும்போது கழுத்தும், இடுப்பும் வேலை செய்யும். கழுத்துக்கும் இடுப்புக்கும் கடுமையாக வேலையைக் கொடுத்துவிட்டால், இடுப்பு ஜவ்வு பாதிக்கப்படும்.

• நேரத்துக்குச் சாப்பிடாமல் இருந்தால், காலி வயிற்றில் வாயு உருவாகித் தொல்லை ஏற்படும். எனவே, நேரத்துக்குச் சாப்பிடுவது அவசியம்.

• முறையாக உட்காராமல் இருப்பது, படுத்துக்கொண்டே கம்ப்யூட்டர் பார்ப்பது, குப்புறப் படுத்துக்கொண்டு செல்போனை மேய்வது, நீண்ட நேரம் ஒரே இடத்தில் உட்கார்ந்திருப்பது இவையெல்லாம் முதுகுவலியில் கொண்டு போய் விட்டுவிடும். இவற்றைத் தவிர்க்க வேண்டும்.

Message For the Day…” Realize the Existence of the Divine within You…”

Inference is one method of verification or understanding. We see smoke at a distant hill. From the smoke that emanates, it is easy to decipher that there must be fire somewhere in the hill. Although you see only the smoke, we infer the existence of the “unseen” from the presence of what is seen. This type of verification is called Anumaana Pramana (Inferential Proof). These methods of verification – direct or inferential proof is applicable only to the external universe. To determine the Divine Principle, one must depend only upon the Shabdha Pramana, or the Vedas. When the Divine is described as the One without the attributes, eternal, ever existing, pure and free, self-effulgent, etc. – all these appellations will not make Brahman visible to you. You must follow the teachings and realize the existence of the Divine within you and around you.

‘Kala Namak’ …Indian Black Salt…A Look at its Health Benefits !!!

 

The Health Benefits of Black Salt…

 

Salt is one of those substances that human civilization is built upon, not only for its taste, but also for its health benefits and its ability to preserve food.

The Indian black salt, also known as ‘Kala Namak’, is a popular variety of Indian volcanic stone salts. It sees extensive use in India, Pakistan and internationally, by those who know its benefits. Its unusual color comes from the presence of tiny amounts of iron and other minerals.

 

This special salt is found in the Himalayan mountain ranges and has some excellent health benefits that you should know about. In India, black salt is often prescribed for patients with high blood pressure or those who require a low-salt diet. Why? Because black salt is low on sodium, and so doesn’t raise the blood pressure like normal salt does. It is also a popular treatment for heartburn and intestinal gas. In short, it provides a boost to the digestive system.

The health benefits of black salt:

1. A healthy alternative to sea salt

Salt is incredibly common in everyday life. We find it in a huge amount of snacks and dishes. This is usually iodized salt or sea salt. However, an overdose of salt in our daily lives is a common problem that may lead to paralysis, thyroid problems and high blood pressure, to count a few. The two most dangerous chemicals in sea salt are potassium iodate and aluminum silicate. This is why sea salt is banned in some countries. However, black salt is a great alternative to iodized salt, and here are a few of its benefits compared to iodized salt:

– Treats arthritis problems
– Treats paralysis problems
– Lowers high blood pressure
– Deals with impotency issues

2. The therapeutic benefits

According to centuries of tradition, black salt is a ‘cooling’ salt that is filled with therapeutic benefits. It can be used as a laxative and as a cure for intestinal disorders. It has benefits for eyesight and unlike common salt, does not enhance your sodium intake. Due to its high sulfur content. However, due to its high sulfur content, it can also weaken the digestion in large amounts, and so a balanced use is recommended, no more than you would regular salt.

3. Soft, beautiful looking skin

Another use for black salt is skincare. Instead of chemical peels, special soaps and spas, consider adding black salt to your bath water. It works as an excellent healing agent, especially good for cracked, swollen feet, athlete’s foot, warts and sprains. Just sit back and let it heal your pain and relieve your worries while you enjoy a truly refreshing bath. When you come out, your body will feel truly rejuvenated.

Note: If your skin is sensitive to irritation, it’s best not to make the water too hot, or you may incur some itchiness.

4. Strong, problem-free hair

If you’re one of many who suffer from a receding hairline, you’re probably frustrated by all the supplements and tonics that never seem to work. So try something more natural this time. The essential minerals in black salt will boost your hair’s natural growth, strengthen it and treat its split ends. If you have dandruff or acute hair loss, I recommend taking black salt with tomato juice at least once a day. Not only will it encourage hair growth, but will also make your hair thicket, with more sheen and luster.

Do try to use this wonderful natural product and see the difference for yourself. Don’t forget to shoot us a comment. Stay fit and stay healthy!

Message For the Day…” Wavering Mind Can be Controlled with Spiritual Practice…’

Ignorance has a very powerful influence on the mind. Arjuna said to Krishna, “The mind is very powerful, however it has a wavering nature.” Lord Krishna said, “A bee has the strength to drill a hole in the hardest variety of wood. However when it enters a lotus, if the lotus closes its petals, then even with all its might, the bee cannot come out of it. Similarly once the all-powerful mind comes to the lotus feet of the Lord it becomes powerless and surrenders. However potent or wavering one’s mind may be, it can be and must be controlled with spiritual practice (Sadhana). When Jesus was nailed in the Cross, his followers were deeply pained and in great grief. He said, “Just as this body had a dress, this body is just an attire for the soul. Do not grieve”. He taught his followers, “Do not harm anyone or hurt anyone. Treat everyone alike.” Everyone must practice these teachings.

Message For the Day…” We Must Have Faith in Our Soul {atma} though it is Not Visible … “

We generally consider direct perception as the most important type of evidence. We are able to see our body, the number of hands, legs, eyes we have and so on. This is one type of proof. Consider another example: We boil milk. After heating, we add some yoghurt to it in the night and wake up the next morning to find that the whole milk has turned into curd (yoghurt). Though our eyes don’t see the transformation process, our own action provides us the proof and we don’t need anyone else to convince us that the change from milk to curd has really occurred, though the change process was not visible directly to our eyes. So too, though the Soul (Atma) is invisible, and we cannot see it, we must have faith in its existence. Several great sages and saints have had the direct experience of Divinity in their present lives and have conveyed the teachings to us.

Message For the Day…” Heart Filled with Love and Compassion is the Real Temple…”

The alarm clock wakes us by ringing the alarm at the right time. Similarly great sages of ancient times woke up human beings from the slumber of ignorance, warned them at the appropriate time and in the correct manner. They often gave powerful messages that warned all to stop ignoring and start recognizing the Omnipresent Divinity. Words of such great souls must constantly ring in your hearts and guide and illumine your lives. Jesus Christ proclaimed that everyone is an embodiment of Divinity in this human form and every being is a messenger of God. He demonstrated in his life that every ounce of this human body till the last drop of blood must be dedicated to the service of humanity. Jesus declared, “A heart filled with love and compassion is the real temple of the Lord!” Your true offering to the Loving Divine would be the dedication of your life to practice their teachings with your heart and soul.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the day…” Train Your Mind to Follow the Path of Human Being …”

The moment a bad thought comes, you must teach your mind, “Oh mind, are you on the path of human values or on the path of an animal? This thought is an animal thought – you are not an animal.” Train your mind saying, “Oh mind, human beings are not meant to eat, sleep and enjoy pleasures. Shed all animal qualities, give up previous habits and old ways. You must get away from all evil”. If you thus teach your mind, its speed will be lessened and the flow of thoughts will change. You must consistently teach your mind to transform your thoughts. There will be difficulties in the process. But let them come – the one who works hard and passes through these hardships will enjoy abundant peace. Without effort, there cannot be gain or pleasure. Hence don’t worry about difficulties.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the Day…” You Must Upkeep The Name , Honour and Reputation of Your Family…”

Even animals react based on your feelings. As is the feeling so is the reaction. Every being goes by these three: reaction, reflection and resound. It is only the evil tendencies, the bad feelings amongst human beings which cause wild reaction from animals. Two sons born in the same family constantly fight. What is the reason for hatred? Their own minds are responsible for their temperament. Never have bad temperament. You must always cultivate and develop noble feelings. All of you have good upbringing, good family and good education. You must upkeep the name, honour and reputation of your family and the University you studied. To earn a good name, you must have good friendship. “Tell me who your friends are, I shall tell you who you are” is a famous quote. As is the company, so you are. Therefore always seek and keep good company – it is your good fortune to have and be in good company.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the Day…” Everything Around us is Divine …”

God alone possesses the strength to create anything and everything, both permanent and impermanent. God is all knowing and omnipresent. He created this world with His Divine Will (Sankalpa). God is the basis of all creation. Gold is the basis of jewellery; if there is no gold, then there is no jewel. Clay is the basis of the pot; if there is no clay, then there is no creation. Similarly if there is no God, then there is no creation. God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omnipresent. Everything around us is Divine. People, in their ignorance, forget this Divine Principle (Atma). In order to jostle human beings from their deep slumber of ignorance and greed, great sages and Divine Incarnations descend on earth. Whenever ego and pride becomes second nature of human beings and ignorance reigns supreme, moreover when demonic nature of human beings are at peak, Divine Incarnations (Avatars) descend on earth to restore righteousness to its pristine glory.
