Tips

Coriander is a member of the same plant family as caraway, dill weed, fennel If you are allergic to these types of spices, you may have some sensitivity or be allergic to coriander. Good-quality coriander seeds are yellow/brown and should release a pleasant, slightly peppery or spicy flavour when squeezed. Light green seeds are bitter in taste. Toasting coriander seeds brings out a richer flavor. Store seeds in a cool, dry, dark place, in airtight containers. This way, they stay well for many months.

Put layers of sliced lemons and honey, until the jar is filled. Stir to make sure the lemons are covered.

  • I recommend slicing the lemons very thinly for best results. I sliced my lemons about ⅛-inch thick. 
  • You can use another citrus for this recipe, too. Oranges and limes also work great. 
  • Since you are eating the rind of the lemon, be sure to wash and scrub before slicing.

What is Dinacharya?

Dinacharya focuses on undertaking certain activities in order to balance the doshas that rise or drop according to the time of the day. By following the Dinacharya as mentioned in Ayurvedic medicine, you lead a more disciplined life and set your daily routine to align yourself with nature and remain disease-free and happy. Here is an insight into the concept of Dinacharya and how it can be used effectively to restore your body’s natural rhythm. Dina means ‘day’ and ‘acharya’ means ‘activity’. According to Ayurveda, it is a daily regime that includes self-care and helps you achieve alignment of self with nature and greater self-awareness. If you follow dinacharya, you can live in harmony with nature, get rid of diseases and stress, improve your bodily processes, experience internal peace, and thus lead a healthier and happier life 🙂

Psychology ~ Relaxing!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

I hope all of you are keeping well. Today I thought of writing about Psychology of Relaxing after wring about stress I though it’s an ideal Topic to write next. I hope as usual you all will like what I am writing 🙂

In psychologyrelaxation is the emotional state of low tension. Relaxation is a form of mild Relaxation can be achieved through meditationprogressive muscle relaxation and other means. Relaxation helps improve coping with stress. Stress is the leading cause of mental and physical problems, therefore feeling relaxed is often beneficial for a person’s health.

Techniques

Although stress levels vary across society, the fact remains that stress can be not good to one’s health. In order to combat this stress, there have been a variety of methods developed that have been proven to reduce stress and its consequences in everyday life. The can be Physical, Mental or Therapeutic!

Physical

Breathing techniques are one of the easiest ways to reduce stress. They require little effort and can be done anywhere at any time. Proper breathing techniques that incorporate deep abdominal breathing have been shown to reduce the physical symptoms of low moods. A study found to be effective in reducing negative mood and stress. These consist of deep breaths followed by extended, relatively longer exhales.

Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique wherein people focus on flexing and holding a certain set of muscles and then slowly relaxing them and focusing attention on a group of muscles. Gradually, from top to bottom, one might feel a deep sense of relaxation. Progressive muscle relaxation is currently used in clinical and non-clinical settings to reduce the effects of anxiety and sleeplessness brought upon by
stress.

Mental:

Mental health is very important and needs to be worked on every day. Relaxation can help with many difficulties that can occur in one’s mental health. There is a higher mood and lower anxiety in those who practice relaxation techniques. Those who are relaxed have much slower and clearer thought processes than those who are not relaxed. It is well known that relaxation can help reduce stress. With reducing stress, a person can Relax and Recharge Mentally and become much stronger in mind and body both 🙂

Meditation has long been practiced around the world, but has only become commonplace relatively recently in North America. Studies suggest that in addition to reducing physiological and psychological stresses placed on a body, people who practice meditation have fewer doctor visits for physical or psychological illnesses. The relaxation of meditation response reduces blood pressure, muscle tension. It increases the immune response, helps attention and decision making. The relaxation response is achieved through meditation from:

  1. Start by sitting upright and comfortably, dropping your gaze. Don’t force yourself to relax, but simply sit quietly and allow your mind to float freely until it settles down.
  2. When we simply sit and breathe, we activate the body’s calming response. It allows the brain to display the calm, smooth, harmonious waves called alpha brain waves—like the waves of the ocean, coming in to the shore and rolling back out. Coming in and going out. Breathing in and breathing out. Relax.
  3. Drop your shoulders, relax the jaw, and unfurl your brow. Allow your mind to float freely until it settles down. Let thoughts come and go as they please.
  4. Bring your attention back gently to your breath. Don’t exert yourself trying to block thoughts. Just remain passive and remind your body that we’re sitting now, we’re breathing now, we’re relaxing now. Sit quietly, stay with your breath. Like the waves of the ocean, breathing in, breathing out. Let thoughts fade into the background. Relax. To be still, to be quiet, to be at ease. This is the gift of relaxation.
  5. A comfortable position.
  6. quiet environment to help focus.
  7. A positive attitude to avoid getting upset.

Professionals in the fields of psychology or counseling can administer a variety of these techniques. If they feel it is appropriate they may prescribe medication to assist the patient with relaxation. Although a number of these techniques are simple and can be performed on one’s own time, patients may receive better results if they are guided by a professional who is very familiar with the techniques.

The benefits of relaxation can be found in three main areas of health; mental, physical and physiological. It can elevate mood or induce sleep. All of these things can help prolong and enhance life.

Physiological:

Relaxation can also play a big role. A person will go from active and alert, which is rest and digest. When they are relaxing, it gives the body time to catch up. A person does not need to worry about running, because they are sitting still and allowing “rest and digest”. Immune systems will sometimes benefit from increased relaxation which is why relaxation can be seen as part of treatment for good health.

LIFESTYLE FACTORS: That add to stress rather than reduce stress!

There are any number of situations that can cause stress. Some of the more common stressors include:

  • Issues at home
  • new or increasing work responsibilities

None of us work 24/7 and there is always some free time to relax. Also relaxing does not need a lot of money either. Of course if one has extra money to spend, there are many expensive ways to relax. But actually you do not need to spend like that. As relaxing is becoming one with mother nature. The closer you become to mother earth, by ways of food, clothes and living the closer you become to a stress free life. It is difficult to lead a complete stress free life in this present times. But there are plenty of simple ways to relax like the post above, and below, to reduce our stress levels and enjoy a balanced and healthy life ❤

Psychology ~Singing!

Hello To, All My Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

I hope all of you are keeping well. Today I thought of writing about Psychology of Singing. I hope you all will like what I am writing. It is both Western and Kirtan (Devotional) Singing ❤

Singing, the production of musical tones by means of the human voice. In its physical aspect, singing has a well-defined technique that depends on the use of the lungs, which act as an air supply,, which have the function of an amplifier, as the tube in a wind instrument; and on the tongue, which together with the palate, teeth, and lips articulate and impose consonants and vowels on the amplified sound. Though these four mechanisms function independently, they are nevertheless coordinated in the establishment of a vocal technique and are made to interact upon one another.

Singing versus speaking

Singing is distinguished from speaking by the manner in which the breath is expended to vibrate the vocal cords. Singing requires more breath the louder, higher, and longer one sings. It also requires that the emission of breath be more firmly controlled. A pertinent analogy is the function of the instrumentalist’s breath in playing a reed instrument—e.g., a clarinet, an oboe, or a saxophone. The technique of singing depends ultimately on the coordination of the various anatomical mechanisms in order to produce a propulsion of sound in a steady flow. A further distinction between singing and speaking is the control that is required, in singing, of the movement and reflexes of the larynx. As one sings higher, the larynx tends to rise sympathetically and at a certain point becomes an interference causing the voice to break, or crack. Not much movement of the larynx occurs within a singer’s normal range, which is usually about an octave and a third. Beyond that range, either above or below, an element of technical accomplishment sets the professional off from the unschooled amateur.

The character of Western singing

Western singing is distinguished above all by its volume. Singers of other cultures may have a wider range, particularly a greater upward extension; but it is doubtful that they have sung louder. Western singing is also distinguished by its concern with pure sound, with the tone quality, or timbre, and with colour, with what is felt to be the sheer beauty of the voice itself. Both singers and their listeners, in Western music more than any other, have tended to lose sight of song’s roots in language and to think of singing as a purely instrumental production. Modern Western styles of singing largely derive from the Italian bel canto, which had its origin in a style associated with the polyphonic music of the 16th century. Because this music expressed the significance or the moods of the text, a great range of expression was required from the singers, who, in these polyphonic works, assumed something of the function of a vocal orchestra. The art of singing accordingly evolved to allow the singers the maximum power and variety of expression.

THE CHARACTER OF DEVOTIONAL SINGING KIRTAN:

Kirtana (Sanskrit: कीर्तन; IASTKīrtana), also rendered as Kirtan or Keertan, is a Sanskrit word that means “narrating, reciting, telling, describing” of an idea or story, specifically in Indian religions. It also refers to a genre of religious performance arts, a musical form of narration or shared recitation, particularly of spiritual or religious ideas, native to the Indian subcontinent. A person performing kirtan is known as a kirtankara (or kirtankar, कीर्तनकार). With roots in the Vedic anukirtana tradition, a kirtan is a call-and-response or song or chant, set to music, wherein multiple singers recite the names of a deity, describe a legend, express loving devotion to a deity, or discuss spiritual ideas. It may include dancing or direct expression of bhavas (emotive states) by the singer. Many kirtan performances are structured to engage the audience where they either repeat the chant, or reply to the call of the singer.

A kirtan performance includes an accompaniment of regionally popular musical instruments, especially Indian instruments like the Indian harmonium, the veenasitar, or ektara (strings), the tabla (one-sided drums), the mrdanga or pakhawaj (two-sided drum), flute (woodwinds), and karatalas or talas (cymbals). It is a major practice in Hinduism, Vaisnava devotionalism, Sikhism, the Sant traditions, and some forms of Buddhism, as well as other religious groups. Kirtan is sometimes accompanied by story-telling and acting. Texts typically cover religious, mythological or social subjects.

Traditionally Kirtan is a “Call and Response”” of chanting experience. The word Kirt is to name to Communicate, to Celebrate, to Praise, and is derived from the Bhakti Yoga. The path of union through Devotion that uses the Repetition of Sanskrit Mantras to invoke the Energy and Attributes of the Devine.

The singing of Bajans is also a part of Spiritual Music, Tradition of India and singing of songs in Prayers. Its Root Bhaj means to Worship with Deep Respect (Revere) and to Love. Both are Devotional music and have been practiced since ancient times. In more recent times Devotional music has been incorporated (To include) in to many modern musical styles so that they can like to so many around the world. and all voices are united (together) with others without needing and skill or practicing. It is wonderful way to play because it is free and is energized and takes us in a relaxing journey ❤

Happiness is needed and anything that gives us Happiness to the Heart need to be encouraged that raises the flow of Energy. In this increasing unnatural society with so much of stress singing is the medicine that help Relax and Energize us. Such a practice can help us face stress of modern life just by using ones own voice in song. Ah!! almost immediate relief of Healing to make Happy people and community 🙂
