Yogic Science - Solution to sleep deprivation

-

One of the common problems that the younger generation facing now is sleep deprivation. The causes for it may vary from person to person depending on the individual's situation (excess use of electronic gadgets, work stress, change in the sleeping cycle/environment, depression, anxiety, and so on) but the aftermath would lead to a number of bigger health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart-related problem.

I knew a lot of folks are facing this issue but it was further triggered when I came across a recent post on LinkedIn from Nithin Kamath (attached below).

The most simplest and powerful way one can overcome sleep deprivation is by performing the left nostril breathing technique (also called Chandra Nadi Pranayama).

Steps:

  1. Sit in any comfortable posture with back and neck erect.
  2. Close your eyes with a gentle smile on your face.
  3. Inhale and exhale with only your left nostril by blocking the right nostril using your fingers.
  4. Rest your left palm facing upwards on your left thighs.
  5. Keep your focus completely on your breath, calmness in the mind, and the coldness experienced in the body.

Practice this about 27-108 rounds (1 round = inhalation + exhalation) depending upon your capacity before you go to the bed. Within a few days of practice, you will experience a sense of deep sleep without any restlessness or break in between.

Power of dividend income

  One of the technology companies listed in the Indian National Stock Exchange (NSE) delivered a per-share dividend of 36 INR (0.48 USD) to its shareholders in the year 2021. Out of the 271 crores (2,710 million) outstanding shares, the promoters group owns 60.33% which is ~163 crores (1,630 million) shares. If you do the simple math, 163 x 36 ~5900 crores INR (787 million USD) in dividend income. That is the power of owning an established well-run business. So, the obvious question is what is the use of knowing how much promoters earned? The point I am making is very simple. If you cannot start a business, own a piece of these kinds of business by buying their shares where you can reap the benefit from both capital appreciation and dividend income. A few of the key elements to find a well-run franchise are: - Clean accounts and good corporate governance.  Ability to generate a return on capital employed substantially higher than the cost of capital.  Sustainable compe...

Masters Abroad!!! sounds awesome, isn't it? Well, it is for some extent, but it takes huge man-hours and effort to actually get there. The process takes place in major three steps: Phase –1: primary preparation starts with selecting the master's program and country, entrance exam/language test, application writing, funding (about 6 to 12 months). Phase –2: it's the period where you actually go and get introduced to new country, people, culture, weather, language, food, and most importantly education system (about 2 years/depends on your study program). Phase –3: lastly, the most important aspect of all, landing a job (about 6 to 12 months). As I have personally gone through the above process by myself I feel very glad to share my personal experience and also include other information gathered through the years from my fellow mates. To begin with, you should probably ask one of the toughest questions to yourself before beginning the preparation journey. i.e., why higher ...

Masters Abroad (Part-3)

  Welcome to Part-3 of the series of blog posts pertaining to the study abroad. If you have not read them yet, please have a look at them here Part-1 and Part-2 . In Part-1 I highlighted the three phases of the abroad studies and in this post, I will touch upon Phase 2 of the journey. During this Phase 2 , you will actually get into your study program and get introduced to the new country, people, culture, weather, language, food, and most importantly education system. For most of them, each of the aspects mentioned earlier is very new and I am pretty sure you will be in a cultural shock for obvious reasons. One of the frequently asked questions that I receive is what culture shock is to do with your master's program. Well, well here is the catch. Of course, completion of the master's program is one part of the equation but living and working in a new environment is the other part. The journey we are talking about here is not for a few weeks or months but in fact more than ...
