SAY STRESS GOODBYE

Stress is the state of arousal with which the body responds to out of the ordinary
demands or challenges that are imposed upon us.
Corporate stress eats away as much as 45% of profit after tax.
More than 1.2 million people suffer from musculoskeletal disorders caused by
their work.
Employees experiencing stress are more likely to make poor decisions and
casual errors.
The Nature and Causes of Stress.
The two primary responses that we are all born with are the FIGHT or FLIGHT
response.
This was required in Primitive times for survival. However neither response is
appropriate to meet the many new and highly complex demands that civilization
has brought.
Every day we are faced with some sort of challenge OUT OF THE ORDINARY
DEMANDS and our autonomic system prepares to protect by arousing the
Fight/Flight mechanism. However, since we cannot respond in the same way as
primitive man, we tend to internalize the threat and stress develops. We only need
to imagine an out of the ordinary demand to place our system on High alert.
Some inner anger or anxiety is enough to produce the same cahain reaction in
the body.``
STRESS RESPONSE CHOICES.
The whole art of stress management is about learning to control our response to
stress.
This can be done by recognizing the various sources of stress and making
changes at the deeper levels of personality.
Lifestyle management, Self Esteem, Relaxation and exercise are important
components of Stress management.
Recognizing Stress Symptoms (be it physical, psychological or behavioral and
attending to them helps in maintaining good mental and physical health.

The modern world with touch button facilities and convenience of operation, also
brings with it stress related and psychosomatic health conditions.
The relationship between stress and diet has been affected by our sophisticated
lifestyle.
Junk food has become the order of the day.
Chemicals in vegetables and fruits and air pollution affect health in a big way.
Chemical sources of stress are substances that upon our central nervous
system.
E.g. Caffeine, Sugar, Salt, Nicotine, Alcohol.
On the other side of the equation rich, fattening foods are plentiful.

vegetables and fiber. Eat regularly and peacefully. Go Organic. Stay Hydrated and

mental clarity and better concentration.

OVERCOMING THE SIX DEADLY FEARS
Every person on this earth is afraid of something. Most fears are inherited.
Fears must be mastered before anything worthwhile can be achieved.
The six deadly fears are;-
Fear of poverty,
Fear of Death,
Fear of ill health
Fear of the loss of love
Fear of old age
Fear of Criticism
Modern civilization has specifically contributed two fears, which of course fit into
one of the above, but needs mention.
They are THE FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING and THE FEAR OF FLYING.
The first step in handling and overcoming is to find out how we acquired them,
either through physical heredity or social heredity.
The most effective tool to fight the fears is ORGANIZED KNOWLEDGE.
This will kill Ignorance which is the twin sister of Fear. ````Also with knowledge,
Superstition will vanish.
Determination is the one dominant thought that will help overcome the six deadly
fears that exist nowhere except in the mind.


MEDITATION, MUDRAS and MERIDIAN ENERGY ACTIVATION FOR
ENHANCED SQ ---
MUDRAS

'Mudras' are systematic hand gestures.
More deeply, "closed electrical circuits" of the subtle channels in physical and
etheric bodies are also known as 'Mudras'.

Mudra Vigyan is the science of finger postures, based on Yoga of elements that go to
create the human body.
Several ancient health systems are based on the concept of the balance of the five
elements. FIRE, WIND, ETHER, EARTH and WATER. These are the five building blocks
that go into the formation of any living body.
Any distortion or impairment of the 5 elements create outer disturbance and inner
sickness in the body. The fingers of the hands represent these 5 elements.

The finger tips have many concentrated nerve root endings which are free
energy discharge points. Science also confirms that around every tip there is a
concentration of free electrons. By touching together of the tips of the fingers or the
finger tips to other parts of the palm this free energy (Prana) is redirected back into
the body along specified channels, back up to the brain.
This redirection of the internal energy effects the changes in veins, tendons, glands
and sensory organs, to bring the body back to a healthy state.
MEDITATION
Meditation is the practice and process of paying attention and focusing your
awareness.
Meditation is power. Whatever you do, meditation can help you to do it better.
First, when you can focus your awareness, you gain more power.
Second, you enjoy your senses more fully
Third, your mind quiets down and you experience an inner sense of peace, joy, and
well-being.

Fourth, you may directly experience and become more aware of the transcendent
interconnectedness that already exists.

MERIDIANS
Just as the body with its immune, endocrine, cardiovascular and other systems is a
constellation of physical systems so also we are a constellation o energy systems
that work together naturally, usually below the threshold of awareness.
Meridians are Energy transportation system. They are fourteen tangible pathways
that carry energy into, through and out of your body.
Meridians are energy pathways that connect hundreds of tiny reservoirs of heat,
electromagnetic and more subtle energies along the surface of the skin.
Meridians are bodys energy bloodstream. In the way an artery carries blood, a
meridian carries energy.
As the bodys energy bloodstream, the meridians bring vitality and balance,
removes blockages, adjust metabolism and even determine the speed and form of
cellular change. Their flow is as critical as the flow of blood; your life and health
depends on both.
Balancing Meridians and getting them to run smoothly and efficiently is easy. All it
needs is regular easy to do exercises like tracing, twisting and stretching,
massaging and tapping.
The World Health Organisation defines good health as:
" A STATE OF COMPLETE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND SOCIAL WELL BEING, NOT
MERELY THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE OR INFIRMITY."

The supreme power of the soul, that when scientifically endowed with Mudras,
Meditation and Meridian activation can help one achieve all the three sublime
powers - the physical, mental and spiritual. Mudras, Meditation and Meridians
symbolically express inner feelings and inner psychological states. They also
generate various qualities such as fearlessness, power, charity and peace in the
practitioner.
THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF FEELINGS.
Stress and negative emotions arent just in the head; they are stored throughout the
body. Many of us dont understand these emotions, and we dont like the way they
feel. So we repress them, holding them deeply in the muscles, tissues and organs of
the body, which makes us vulnerable to disease.
Many people are literally so cut off from their feelings that they are unable to realize
their physical symptoms are actually emotions calling out to be heard,
acknowledged and acted upon.
All feelings are good and have a purpose to serve once they are understood and
acted upon.
Understanding The Secret Language of Feelings, will help people reconnect not
only with their emotions, but also with their bodies. When this happenswhen
emotions are embraced and their message heededa significant step will be made
in promoting optimal health and mental well-being
That language of feelings is a voice within us. Sometimes it is as soft as a whisper;
sometimes it is as loud as a roar. It is an important voice, which, when fully
understood, gives you a kind of guidance no other voice can.
Imagine having an internal voice moving you in the right direction, leading you to feel
more satisfied with your life, because youre doing what is really right for you and the
ones that you love.
The Secret Language of Feelings gives you a rational and reliable approach to
understanding and responding to your feelings and emotions. It shows you how to
create a more satisfying life, starting right now! You will learn how to overcome
anger, guilt, frustration, sadness, loneliness and even everyday depression. You
will better understand yourself, your family and the people you interact with on a
daily basis.



GITA, ZEN AND TAO
Perfection in individual life and welfare of the world (principle of unity)
Excellence at work through self development with devotion and without attachment (work culture)
Turn your weakness into strengths.
Share your responsibilities.
Right team = Right set of individuals.
Know your enemy/challenges.
The right managers. To inspire, invigorate, counsel in crises.
Know ground realities. Accept different ideologies.
Empower women.
The critical question in every Manager's mind is how to be effective in his job. The answer
to this fundamental question is found in the Bhagavad Gta which repeatedly proclaims
that 'you try to manage yourself'. The reason is that unless the Manager reaches a level of
excellence and effectiveness that sets him apart from the others whom he is managing, he
will be merely a face in the crowd and not an achiever.
Utilisation of Available Resources
The first lesson in the management science is to choose wisely and utilise optimally the scarce resources if
one has to succeed in his venture. During the curtain raiser before the Mahabharata War Duryodhana
chose S'r Krishna's large army for his help while Arjuna selected S'r Krishna's wisdom for his support.
This episode gives us a clue as to who is an Effective Manager.
Cultivate sound philosophy of life.
Identify with inner core of self-sufficiency
Get out of the habitual mindset towards the pairs of opposites.
Strive for excellence through work is worship.
Build up an internal integrated reference point to face contrary impulses, and emotions
Pursue ethico-moral rectitude.
