If you trace a person from being an infant to a full grown adult, you will notice, in most cases, a progressive decline in the skin texture and complexion. A baby is glowing pink whereas most adults, even in their prime youth, are plagued with a diseased skin and dull complexion. This is because, in the process of growing up, one is exposed to certain unnatural practices and stimuli from which it was kept protected in the womb.Take for example, the simple act of breathing. If you observe a baby breathing, you would notice a pronounced abdominal movement. The stomach inflates as it breathes in and deflates as it breathes out. If you observe your own breathing patterns, most likely, you will find it to be the opposite and with little or no abdominal movement…this breathing pattern of yours, holds the key to the way you look and your present state of health.

Insomnia Sleep is very essential for the brain and has even been considered a tonic for the brain. ' Nidrayatam Sukham ', is a comparison of the state of sleep made by Charak to pleasure, peace, and happiness, which indicates that only when both body and mind are disease-free and at peace, the pleasures of life can be experienced. This state of mind and body cannot be achieved without giving them adequate amount of rest. Sleep also provides natural immunity to people suffering from any disease. That is why rest is recommended to the ailing. Today sleeplessness or insomnia has become common not only among adults, but among teenagers and children too. In addition to stress, insomnia is a result of over indulgence and lack of discipline in our lifestyles, junk food, and excessive use of screens (cell phones, TV, computer etc). It may start with just one late night and then another and before you know it you start finding it difficult to sleep. Ayurveda  prescribes ...

How is it that the rishis in the Himalayas can maintain their youth till their very last breath? I have personally met some of them; even at 85 and 90 years of age, they exude a glow and radiance that is rarely seen in ordinary men even at the age of 20. Yog is a subject of gyan . No matter how many books you read, unless you have gyan, you cannot move forward. Knowledge is for the brain and the five senses. Gyan, on the other hand, is the core of what you actually are, what you are living through and what you experience. Gyan is the experience that you live. Let us understand the two with an example. We ‘know’ that soul is immortal, and yet the greatest fear among all men, as mentioned in the Patanjali Yogsutras is the fear of death. This is because we do not have the gyan of soul.
