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.

Personal Finance Management (Part - 1)

    One of the most important things in life I am sure most of you agree is personal finance. The importance of personal finance was quite evident when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world and people were literally in a state of panic and distress as to how to overcome the challenges faced during this period. In my opinion, it was a good reminder to everyone who went through this process that the importance of personal finance management is very crucial in life and earlier we start better is the results.   To begin with this topic, one has to ask a very basic question to himself/herself about the current net worth. In simple words, Net worth = Assets - Liability here: assets comprised of gold, money-back insurance policy, free cash, fixed deposit (F.D.), recurring deposit (R.D.), mutual funds, stocks, real estate (residential/commercial/agriculture), pension schemes, vehicle, etc., liabilities comprised of loans (vehicle, home, personal, mortgage, over-draft, education, ag...

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.

I am pretty sure most of you might wonder how one can build his wealth? How to increase the mainstream of income? How to invest in different financial instruments? Well, I will try to answer your questions here in this post. As mentioned in the previous blog post 'Personal Finance Management (Part - 1)' the main key objectives of saving and investing is: Save for the rainy day. Beat the inflation. To experience the power of compounding. Before understanding saving and investing, one needs to know about his psychology towards money. We humans naturally tend to express fear and greediness every occasion we come across a new financial instrument. Hence, it is good practice to understand us better before we start our investment journey. Ultimately it is not the one who has the higher money who sustains the game but the person who could control his emotions will be the actual winner. As mentioned in my earlier post before picking any financial instrument it is the trade-off betwee...
