My friend Pooja posted this on her facebook profile and it makes a lot of sense. Read on... What would help to elevate our consciousness and deepen our connection?
Here are a few basic and effective pointers:
A proper diet. Our food influences our mind. The Jain tradition has
done much research on the effect of food on the mind. Ayurveda and
Chinese systems and many other native systems the world over have
recognized the effect of food on the psyche. Modern science confirms
that food can have a direct bearing on our emotions. Emotionally
disturbed children tend to eat more and suffer from obesity. A properly
balanced diet has a positive impact on our emotions and thereby on our
consciousness.
Light to moderate exercise
Panchakarma.
In the ancient medical system of Ayurveda, there is a process of
internal cleansing called panchakarma that involves massages, a
prescribed diet and cleansing. This has helped thousands of people to
come out of stress and behavioral disorders and is also a curative for
many illnesses
Yoga, Pranayama and meditation. These are
extremely vital to induce a sense of respect for one’s own body and the
environment. They help to maintain a toxin-free system and thereby
reduce the occurrence of emotional disturbances
Music and
dance. These can bring rhythm and harmony in the body-mind complex;
especially music that is not too loud and violent. Music that is
soothing and creates a gentle sway and rhythm in one’s system, like folk
and classical music
Nature. Spending time in nature, observing
silence and engaging in prayer is very congenial for helping us to
reflect on our own mind
