“The Universal Energy” is also called “Healing or Pranic energy”. Pranic Healing is a highly developed and tested system of energy based a no-touch healing technique that utilizes “Prana” to balance, harmonize and transform the body’s energy processes!

You cannot see this energy, but you can certainly feel it’s power. The Sun is just one example of the Universal energies which plays a significant role in our lives. The role of Universal energy in your life is defined as you give direction to the energy through your intentions. Universal energy is the energy that sustains life, providing vital energy to all living systems. The whole Universe, starting from the stars in the sky to the atoms that create them, including the world we live in and ourselves everything we see or do, is made up of the Universal Energy, at the most fundamental level.

Prana” is a Sanskrit word that means “life force“, “chi” in China and “ki” in Japan. Energy healing” include Reiki, Reflexology, Kinesiology.

Reflexology, also known as zone therapy is a practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet and hands. This is done using specific thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, that such work on the feet and hands causes a physical change to the related areas of the body.

Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal energy” is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

Major in Psychology ~2!

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

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as possible. And Positive and Motivated. I have been writing about Various ways of Therapies to Become Well” And also about Your Purpose in Life! and why having one is so good for you. Taking after PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested studying. They want to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And now going to the next post as unlike simple articles this is a very Advanced Topic!

Psychology is the scientific study, analysis, and investigation of behavior and mental processes. Psychologists actively study and understand human cognitive processes, and behavior.

Psychology Officially started as a Discipline in 1879 when the first Psychology lab was established in the University of Leipzig, in Germany.

What is Psychology?

Psychology is the scientific study, analysis, and investigation of behavior and mental processes. Psychologists actively study and understand human cognitive processes, and behavior.

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. Why study Psychology? The study will give you new ways to look at and interpret your world and the people who inhabit it.

The world of psychology contains looks and tones and feelings; it is the world of dark and light, of noise and silence, of rough and smooth; its space is sometimes large and sometimes small, as everyone knows who in adult life has gone back to his or her home; its time is sometimes short and sometimes long, It contains all the thoughts, emotions, memories, and imaginations,

The Scope of Psychology

 As psychology has evolved as a science, its fields of specialization have multiplied, and its educational and training requirements have become formalized. Psychologists work in a variety of fields in academic and professional settings. Psychology should be the chief basic science upon which the practices of education depend. It should have supplied education with the information it needs concerning the processes of understanding, learning, and thinking, among other things. One of the difficulties has been that such theory as has been developed has been based primarily upon studies of behaviors.

Personality psychology is a branch of psychology that examines personality and its variation among individuals. It aims to show how people are individually different due to psychological forces. Its areas of focus include:

  • Describing what personality is
  • Documenting how personalities develop
  • Explaining the mental processes of personality and how they affect functioning
  • Providing a framework for understanding individuals
    “Personality” is a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by an individual that uniquely influences their environment, cognitionemotionsmotivations, and behaviors in various situations. The word personality originates from the Latin persona. Personality also pertains to the pattern of thoughtsfeelingssocial adjustments, and behaviors persistently exhibited over time that strongly influences one’s expectations, self-perceptionsvalues, and attitudes. Personality also predicts human reactions to other people, problems, and stress. described two major ways to study personality psychology is an attempt to understand the unique aspects of a particular individual. The biggest misconception (wrong thinking) about psychology is that it is not big (rigorous) enough to tackle the big, “important” questions because its methods as a field are limited. While psychology continues to be an important source of insights about human nature and potential, as a young and growing science it faces pressure from all sides to prove its worth.

Clinical psychology is a people’s science, behavioral science, theory, and clinical knowledge for the purpose of understanding, preventing, and relieving psychologically-based distress and to promote subjective well-being and personal development. Central to its practice are psychological assessment, and psychotherapy, although clinical psychologists also engage in research, teaching, consultation, and program development and administration. In many countries, clinical psychology is a regulated mental health profession. All the lessons of psychiatry, psychology, social work, indeed culture, have taught us over the last hundred years that it is the acceptance of differences, not the search for similarities which enables people to relate to each other in their personal or family lives.

Organizational psychologists work with people and organizations. They are experts in areas such as leadership and talent management, recruitment, performance management, occupational health and safety, change management and career development. The Master of Organizational Psychology will provide you with the skills, knowledge and qualifications to work in a wide range of organizations such as consultancies, large companies and government departments. The practical basis of the medical profession rested on psychology. Everyone felt better when self-confident, when Doctors relieved others of the responsibility for deciding what to do. As such, their role was strictly medical.

Below is a picture showing all the posts percentages just for you to have an idea of what all the other posts are about!

Psychology students spend a great deal of time learning about research methods and statistics. Even if you don’t particularly love the research process, learning more about how to gather, organize, analyze, and interpret data can be an important skill in a wide variety of careers. For example, educators, administrators, scientists, marketers, and advertisers often perform such tasks in order to make decisions, evaluate progress, and complete projects.

Prepare for Graduate Study
An undergraduate degree in psychology can be an excellent starting point for graduate study. Many students choose to earn a graduate degree in psychology, while others opt to further their education in a related field such as counseling, education, or social work.

Even if you plan on pursuing a different field in graduate school, you may still find majoring in psychology helpful. Having a background in human psychology can also lead to further study in law, medicine, or the life sciences.

Let’s imagine that in addition to your strong interest in psychology, you also love sports and physical fitness. While the two subjects might seem only distantly related at first, they actually make up a major specialty area known as sports psychology. One benefit of earning a psychology degree is that you can pursue a career path aligned with your passions and interests.

A student who enjoys working with young children can specialize in developmental psychology with a focus on early childhood development, while another student who is fascinated by the aging process could earn a degree in the same subject with a focus on the elderly.

I. Interestingly, psychologists who specialize in working with aging people may also have particularly great job prospects. Gero psychology, a field that uses psychology knowledge to help aging adults, is expected to be a growing field in psychology. Geropsychology is a specialty in professional psychology that focuses on understanding, treating, and improving the mental health of older adults. It applies the knowledge and methods of psychology to help older persons and their families maintain well-being, overcome problems, and achieve maximum potential during later life. 

Choosing psychology as a major can be a rewarding decision for those interested in understanding human behavior and helping others. It opens doors to various career opportunities and provides a strong foundation for further studies in psychology or related fields. If you enjoy analyzing behavior, conducting research, and working with people, psychology may be the right path for you.

I hope what I have written and The Knowledge will be Useful and You have learnt new facts. And also You will be able to Enjoy going through The Picture Quotes as I have done quite bit of Making them more colourful and Attractive I am in Good Health and as, “I have been able to, “Receive Healing Energy into My Hands” since “Beginning of 2016” All my Hard work and Praying has been rewarded. Healing Energy can go to others too, and wherever it is needed to be received with a Clear Mind and Lot of Loving Kindness ❤

Employers highly prize the skills that you acquire during your study of psychology, such as analyzing data, communicating complex information, and understanding human behavior.

While around 64% of the 1.3 million people with a bachelor’s in psychology say that their degree is directly related to their current career, the remainder put their knowledge of psychology to work in other professions.

These could include:

Sales

Advertising

Business

Education

Health services

Human resources

Management

Marketing

Public affairs

Conclusion

Choosing psychology as a major can be a rewarding decision for those interested in understanding human behavior and helping others. It opens doors to various career opportunities and provides a strong foundation for further studies in psychology or related fields. If you enjoy analyzing behavior, conducting research, and working with people, psychology may be the right path for you.

Ayurveda ~ Values of Garlic!

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

Hope all of you are keeping well. It’s very very cold but I am continuing to write, being on Ayurveda I thought of Enlightening on Values of Food for being in Good Health. As so many are not aware of the Values of Fruits and Vegetables and most importantly Herbs 🙂

From Seed to Bulb: Understanding 10 Garlic Growth Stages

Curious about how garlic grows? This guide will show you the different garlic growth stages, from when it starts sprouting to when it’s ready to be harvested. You’ll also learn some cool facts about how garlic grows.

Whether you like cooking, gardening, or learning new things, this guide is perfect for you!

Garlic Growth Stages

Garlic belongs to the Allium family, which includes onions, leeks, shallots, and chives. Garlic is a perennial plant, meaning that it can live for more than two years. However, it is usually grown as an annual crop, meaning it is harvested in one growing season.

Garlic has a complex life cycle that involves 10 stages of growth and development. Understanding these stages can help you plan your planting, care, and harvesting of garlic.

Here are the main stages of garlic growth:

Stage 1. Planting

Stage 2. Germination

Stage 3. Vegetative Growth

Stage 4. Bulb Development

Stage 5. Harvesting Leaves

Stage 6. Flowering

Stage 7. Pollination

Stage 8. Seed Formation

Stage 9. Garlic Harvest

Stage 10. Next Year Growth

Let us discuss each stage in more detail.

The first stage of garlic growth is planting. Garlic is usually planted in the fall, about 4 to 6 weeks before the first frost date in your area. This allows the garlic to establish roots and shoots before the winter. Garlic can also be planted in the spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, but the bulbs may be smaller and less flavorful than fall-planted garlic.

To plant garlic, you need to break apart the garlic bulb into individual cloves. Each clove will grow into a new bulb. Choose large, healthy cloves from disease-free bulbs.

Discard any cloves that are soft, shriveled, or damaged. You can plant the cloves directly into the soil or pre-sprout them in a moist paper towel for a few days to speed up germination.

Plant cloves about 2 inches (5 cm) deep and 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) apart in rows that are 12 to 18 inches (30 to 46 cm) apart.

Make sure the cloves pointed end faces up and the flat end faces down. Cover the cloves with soil and water them well. Also, add mulch, such as straw, leaves, or woodchips, to keep the water from evaporating from the soil and to protect the garlic from weeds.

The second stage of garlic growth is germination. This is when the garlic clove starts to sprout roots and shoots. When planted in the fall, the shoots will only be visible above the ground in mid-spring.

The roots will grow downward into the soil, anchoring the garlic plant and absorbing water and nutrients. The shoots will grow upward through the soil, forming green leaves that will photosynthesize and produce energy for the plant.

The third stage of garlic growth is vegetative growth. This is when the garlic plant grows taller and produces more leaves. The number of leaves a garlic plant produces will determine the size and shape of its bulb. Each leaf corresponds to a layer of bulb wrapper that will protect the cloves inside. [1]

Vegetative growth usually lasts from spring to late summer. The garlic plant needs plenty of sunlight, water, and nutrient-rich soil to grow well during this stage.

Pro Tip 1: Weed your garlic bed frequently to prevent competition for resources. Mulch will significantly reduce the amount of weeds that can sprout.

Pro Tip 2: If your soil is not nutrient-rich, apply an organic fertilizer in later.

The fourth stage of garlic growth is bulb development. This is when the garlic plant starts to form its bulb underground by swelling its stem base and dividing it into cloves. Bulb development usually begins in early summer.There are two main types of garlic: hardneck and softneck. Hardneck garlic produces a hard stem or scape that grows from the center of the bulb and curls into a loop or coil at the top. The scape also produces a flower head or umbel that contains tiny bulbils or seeds that can be used for propagation. Softneck garlic does not create a scape or flower head but instead produces more cloves per bulb.

Several factors influence bulb development, such as temperature, moisture, soil type, nutrient availability, and garlic variety selection. Generally, warmer temperatures and drier conditions favor larger bulbs with fewer cloves. In comparison, cooler temperatures and wetter conditions favor smaller bulbs with more cloves.

You should reduce watering your garlic once bulbing begins, but do not let the soil dry out completely. You can also remove the scrapes from hard neck varieties to direct more energy to the bulb formation. 

Pro Tip: While it is true that removing scapes from hardneck varieties will direct more energy to the bulb formation. However, if you leave them on, they will produce beautiful flowers that attract pollinators to your garden.

Stage 5. Harvesting Leaves

The fifth stage of garlic growth is harvesting leaves. This optional stage involves gathering some of the garlic leaves for culinary or medicinal purposes. Garlic leaves have a mild garlic flavor and can be used fresh or dried in salads, soups, sauces, pesto, and other dishes. [2]

Harvesting leaves can be done anytime during the vegetative growth or bulb development stages. However, do it before leaves start to yellow or die back. You should only harvest a few bottom leaves from each plant, leaving at least four to six leaves intact to support bulb growth. Also, avoid damaging the stem when harvesting leaves.

To harvest garlic leaves, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut off the desired amount of leaves on the plant. Wash the leaves and use them immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Pro Tip: You can dry garlic leaves by hanging them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for a few weeks. You can then store the dried leaves in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

If you are growing hardneck varieties and leaving the scapes uncut, the next stage of garlic growth is flowering. This is the stage when garlic plants produce flowers that can attract pollinators and produce seeds. If the scrapes are cut or you are growing soft neck varieties, skip to “Stage 9. Garlic Harvest“.

Flowering is a reproductive process that happens in mid to late summer and allows the garlic plant to produce seeds. However, flowering also reduces the size and quality of the garlic bulb, as the plant diverts its energy and resources from bulb formation to seed production.

To prevent flowering, remove the scapes from your garlic plants as soon as they appear. This will allow the plant to focus on bulb development and increase your yield and quality of garlic. You can also use the scrapes as a culinary or medicinal ingredient, as they have a similar flavor and texture to garlic cloves. [3],

If you want to allow flowering, leave the scapes on your garlic plants and let them grow and curl into loops or coils. The scapes will eventually straighten up and produce a flower head or umbel at the top.

The flower head will contain hundreds of tiny flowers that can be white, pink, purple, or green. The flowers will attract bees, bumblebeeshoverflies, butterflies, and other pollinators that can transfer pollen from one flower to another.

Stage 7. Pollination

The seventh stage of garlic growth is pollination. This is when the garlic flowers receive pollen from other garlic plants or their own flowers. Pollination usually occurs shortly after flowering.

Pollination is a process that allows the garlic plant to exchange genetic material with other garlic plants and create new combinations of traits. Pollination can increase the genetic diversity and variability of garlic, which can help it adapt to different conditions and resist pests and diseases. However, pollination can also introduce unwanted or undesirable traits that can reduce the yield and quality of garlic.

Pro Tip: You can also manually pollinate your garlic plants by transferring pollen from one flower to another using a brush or just using your fingers. You can choose which plants to pollinate based on their characteristics, such as size, shape, color, flavor, or disease resistance.

The next garlic growth stage is seed formation. This is when the garlic flowers develop seeds inside their ovaries after being pollinated. Seed formation usually occurs in late summer or early fall, several weeks after pollination.

Seed formation is a process that allows the garlic plant to produce offspring that can grow into new plants. Seed formation can create new varieties and types of garlic that may have different or improved traits than their parents. However, seed formation can also take a long time and require much care and attention to produce viable seeds.

To harvest your seeds, wait until the flower heads turn brown and dry up completely. You should then cut off the flower heads from the plants and place them in a paper or mesh bag. Store the bag in a cool, dry, dark place until you are ready to extract the seeds.

To extract your seeds, you should break open the flower heads and separate the seeds from the chaff (the dried petals and other parts of the flower). Dry the seeds thoroughly before storing them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. You can store garlic seeds for up to a year. After that, some seeds will become nonviable.

Pro Tip: While the idea of growing garlic from seeds might be intriguing, this process is considerably challenging and isn’t commonly undertaken by most gardeners. Garlic grown from seeds tends to exhibit more variability. It can take significantly longer to mature compared to garlic grown from cloves. Given the complex care and patience required, many gardeners select a more reliable and efficient method of planting cloves for a successful harvest.

The ninth stage of garlic growth is garlic harvest. This is when the garlic bulb reaches its full size and quality and is ready for harvest.

The main indicator of harvest readiness is the condition of the garlic leaves. When about half of the leaves have turned yellow or brown and started to dry up, it means that the bulb has stopped growing and is ready to be harvested.

Pro Tip: If you are unsure that your garlic is ready to be harvested, gently dig up one or two bulbs and examine them. The bulbs should be firm, plump, and well-formed, with distinct cloves and intact wrappers. The cloves should be easy to separate from each other and from the stem base.

Then, the moment comes when you dig up your garlic bulbs from the soil and prepare them for storage or use. Garlic harvest should be done on a dry and sunny day when the soil is not too wet.

To harvest your garlic, you need a spade, garden fork, or a garden knife to loosen the soil around each plant and lift it out gently. You should avoid pulling the plant by its stem or leaves, as this may damage the bulb or cause it to detach from the stem base. Also, avoid bruising or cutting the bulb, which may reduce its quality and shelf life.

After removing your garlic from the ground, shake off any excess soil from the bulbs and roots. Do not wash your garlic if you intend to store it for a long time, as this may introduce moisture and bacteria that can cause rotting or molding. Also, remove any damaged, diseased, or infected bulbs and discard them.

Harvest is the last stage of garlic growth unless you leave a bulb or a clove in the soil. If so, the garlic growth stage continues the following year.

Final Words

Garlic growth stages unveil a fascinating tale of transformation from a single clove to a thriving plant. Remember, successful garlic cultivation blends science and care.

Whether you’re a cook, gardener, or curious learner, embracing these insights can elevate your connection to nature’s rhythms.

So, relish the journey from soil to plate, letting the stages of garlic growth inspire your future culinary and gardening adventures.
