Anger- Signs Of Its Effects In Everyday LifeAnger is a gift to us by Mother Nature. Its objective is to aggressively deal with any threat and then let it go. As society became more civilized, anger was suppressed for the sake of civility. So generations of people have been taught to refrain from letting go of anger. As a result, instead of being expressed gradually and regularly, it is held back. This affects the perception, thinking and the behaviour of the person. The author describes here signs that he has picked up in his practice that show that a person is holding unexpressed anger. Grief- Signs of ClosureGrief is a familiar human experience. From Mother Nature's perspective, grief is a gift that enables a person to conclude their association with the departed person (as in bereavement) or in break-up of relationships. Grief is more of a physiological experience than a psychological one. This article describes the signs when grief ends.
Grief- Why Do We Grieve?During the loss of a relationship or that of a near and dear one, we go through a process of grief. Experiencing emotional distress at this time is a physical event. Though there is emphasis in literature on the psychological impact of grief, there is a physiological explanation of why grief happens.
Meditation-Can Make You Emotionally DistressedMeditation is practiced and taught in various forms throughout the world. It is a relaxing activity. But when the body relaxes too much, it starts to release emotional energy that is experienced as emotional distress. In some people it can be experienced as depression and in others anxiety is experienced. In this article, the author outlines his observations. Crying Is A Healing ActivityCrying is discouraged in many societies because it is associated with sadness. In order to be happy one is expected not to cry in adverse situations. Nature has given us tears with a purpose. Crying is a relaxing activity. Stressed out people cannot cry. The reason behind this observation is physiological. This article explains the healing aspect of crying Confidence and Self-Esteeem- two sides of the same coin?When a person looks confident, that person may be having a low self-esteem. This article describes how outer confidence and inner confidence or self-esteem are related and different. Psychiatry-Meditation Or Medication -That Is The QuestionIn many parts of the world, psychiatry still relies on medication alone. Psychiatric illnesses occur due largely to traumatic events that are stressful. Stress creates a turmoil in the hormonal and endocrine systems in the body. Psychiatric drugs block the chemical systems causing an emotional numbness in the body. Meditation relaxes the body, allowing the emotions to be cleared. This reduces the need for psychiatric drugs. The Unconscious- How It Operates?Sigmund Freud made the Unconscious famous. For many decades, the Unconscious was a mystery. Recent developments in neurosciences have allowed us to know that there are anatomical and physiological roots to it. Though considered ‘primitive' , its function is more than simply assuring the survival of the individual. It affects our thinking and our perception too. Imagery Practice Can Change Your LifeHuman nervous system remembers events as images. If there are no images of an event, we ‘forget' the event. For the mind, what is imagined is alive. What cannot be remembered does not exist. This principle can be used successfully to achieve almost anything in life. The author has met and known of people who have achieved their goals using imagery. The author has himself used imagery to attain certain goals.
Psychiatry- llnesses or ConditionsPsychiatry and psychiatric illnesses carry a stigma even in the modern world. Not only does this mean that most of us are biased, irrational individuals, it also raises the question of why that is so. In this article the author questions the validity of the term -‘illness' used while referring to psychiatric conditions.
