Tai Chi walk
TAI CHI WALK
A talk
given on tai chi and qigong walking techniques by Sifu Carlton Hill at HELP
library on June 23, 2012.
Taiji
or tai chi chaun is the supreme ultimate energy, exercise, healing art,
martial art and philosophy combined from ancient china, practiced by millions
around the world today for its countless healing benefits.
Go for
a walk on the park today. You might see people joggers and athletes alike
walking and running in their own ways. People have different reasons for walking.
Some want to lose weight; others want to be fit, while some want to lower
their cholesterol and stress levels. But often times, we have seen that an
hour of jogging/walking/running also doesn’t produce the desired results. This
is where the tai chi walking technique comes in.
We
remain unaware, says Sifu Carlton Hill. We walk without thought, without intention
or energy. It then becomes a ‘pendulum walk’ where one is merely swinging his
arms and legs while remaining oblivious to the very act of walking. “Don’t just
walk,” says Hill, “Move on the earth.”
So what
does this ‘moving on earth’ mean? It means being aware of every moment, every
twitch, every bend of muscle in your body as you walk. This walk involves the
three principles of tai chi walking:
·
Qi movement
·
Qi mind
·
Qi meditation
Qi
means energy- the basic essence of all that is living and non living. We are
all connected. There isn’t an in here and out there. We are all energy, made
out of the same elements. Knowing the technique to harness this energy is
what tai chi teaches. It teaches us to connect not with the mind, but the
inner soul of the body, thus providing ‘wholistic’ health. Once this
connection is established, anything we want can be achieved, provided it is
not out of harmful tendencies.
There
are many kinds of tai chi walks, the simplest one being the basic tai chi
walk. Tai chi draws inspiration from nature. Thus it also has the cow walk,
the snake walk and the crane walk. Practicing each of these alleviates
stress, improves health and also restores vitality in the body.
Sifu Carlton Hill will be having his Tai chi class in HELP library 4th July onwards. To get the details of the class, contact him on 9892431215 or email him at carlton2360@yahoo.co.in |

Eye donation and sight restoration
EYE DONATION AND SIGHT
RESTORATION
You make a living by what you get. You make
a life by what you give.
-Buddha
This is
the message that Dr. Percy Ghaswala walks in with as he starts his talk on
eye donation. Eye donation is a miracle of life, he says. And indeed it is,
as we see slide after slide of patients who have gained the gift of sight. It
is a joy and a wonder to know what a simple donation can do. It can restore
sight. It can restore hope and can also bring magic that is overlooked by
each one of us in our daily lives. It is the magic of sight.
Imagine
not being able to see colors anywhere. Imagine not being able to see your
children’s faces. Imagine not being able to see the fine details – the loop
of the thread, the eye of the needle, the stitch of both. These aren’t mere
hypothesis, but real live stories of people who suffer from corneal blindness.
All of this can be reversed. A call is all that is needed.
The best
part about eye donation is that it is free of cost. The donor doesn’t have to
undergo any lengthy procedures or any sort of trouble. Dr. Ghaswala and his
team have made this process such a simple one that filling of a card is all
that is needed.
Dr.
Ghaswala also busts certain myths regarding eye donation such as:
Ø The
whole eye is transplanted
Ø The donor face will be disfigured after
removal of eyes
Ø People wearing glasses or those who have
cataract cannot donate
Ø Cornea transplant is an experimental surgery
Ø
Eyes should be removed JUST before death
There are also
certain facts about eye donation that are explained such as:
Ø Only
the “Cornea” is used for transplant
Ø “Anyone” can be a eye donor
Ø There is no disfigurement of the donor’s
face
Ø Cataracts and glasses are due to conditions
related to the lens and not the cornea
Ø Eyes can be donated only AFTER death
Dr. Ghaswala takes
us through the entire procedure of eye donation and eye transplant as well as
he takes us through the process of:
Enucleation
procedure
Eye ball relay in
igloos
Tissue (cornea)
processing
Cornea preservation
and evaluation
Keratoanalysis
Serology (blood
testing)
Keratoplasty (cornea
grafting)
Keratoplasty (surgery)
Finally, Dr. Ghaswala
leaves with the message that conveys it all, “YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”

Healing with prayers and meditation- III
HEALING
WITH PRAYERS AND MEDITATION- III
A talk by Dr. R. C. Shah
on divine healing at the HELP library on June 21, 2012.
In a
world that runs after the fantasy of the medical word and where the doctor’s
word is considered to be final, Dr. R. C. Shah comes with a simple remedy:
faith. “Don’t worry,” he says to the patients who come to his healing centre.
These two words, along with the hope of a new horizon kindle a sense of
reassurance in the patient who has lost all faith.
This system
of divine healing, works through prayers and the power of intention. It works
for believers as well as non believers. Shah claims that this system of
meditation has given a chance, a new hope to live for last stage cancer
patients as well as bed ridden ones. He says the energy is in each one of us.
We just have to look for it. This energy can be found through the techniques
taught at his centre. The healing techniques work on the following principle:
“Whatsoever a person thinks positively and
one pointedly without any doubt whatsoever for the benefit of others
including the self without and selfish motive, the atmosphere around him
quantifies that thought.”
This principle
not only acts as a healing principle but also, reveals the many secrets of
the human mind. Our mind is always thinking. They are constantly working and
swimming in a chaos of thoughts. To achieve one pointedness, that is concentration,
we do not need to seek the Himalayas. We experience it daily in our lives. For
instance, while watching a movie, or cooking a perfect dish, or while writing
a check. Dr. Shah says that we our wired for one pointedness.
We all
doubt. We doubt our parents, elders, spouses, teachers and strangers. Dr. Shah
advises to avoid the doubt plague since it destroys. It destroys the power of
pure positive emotion and intent. It also disrupts the energy flow that
allows healing. Hence, it is of utmost importance that this plague should be
avoided. Also, healing through this technique requires complete selfless
motivation since anything done out of selfish motives brings a bad result and
negative energies.
There are three kinds of divine healing:
1.
Touch healing: in this technique,
the patient is made to sit with the healer. The healer invokes the powers of Mother
Nature as he recites a sort of mantra while also wishing for the complete
well being of the patient. The energies are then sent to the patient via the
healer’s palms which are placed on the patient’s head and heart. This practice
is continued till complete recovery of the patient.
2.
Distance healing: this healing is
useful in treating patients suffering from contagious ailments. The patient
and the healer sit at a distance of 3 meters and the same procedure mentioned
above is repeated.
3. Absence healing: this is the most
effective treatment according to Dr. Shah. This technique is practiced when face to face communication
is not possible. The patient and the healer sit at their respective centres
at the time of healing and the above procedure is repeated.

Information Therapy - The Expert Pharmacist
Watch this short video and
Patients often complain that they can never understand anything their doctor says. This is usually because doctors use medical jargon but you should never get intimidated by this! You just need to remember that such jargon is simply a convenient shorthand which doctors ( and other health care professionals) use to communicate with each other. Since these words are often derived from the classic languages ( Greek and Latin), they may sound unfamiliar and difficult to understand, but if you devote enough time and take enough trouble, you can definitely do so.

Dietics in Unani medicine
DIETICS
IN UNANI MEDICINE
A talk
on eating habits according to the art of Unani medicine by Dr. Ghazala Shaikh at
HELP library on June 14.
"To
eat is a necessity,
but to eat intelligently is an art."
Keeping this concept in mind, a Unani medic, Dr.Ghazala
Shaikh stresses the art of ‘eating intelligently’. This art very skillfully uses food as
medicine, thus blurring the line between the two.
She stresses
the importance of being able to distinguish between true hunger and false
hunger since many unhealthy eating habits are on the rise. Hunger pangs
merely act as guilty pleasures which
temporarily satiate the body’s need for energy rich foods, that is,
foods containing fats and oils, thus needing immediate gratification while
true hunger arises out of the body’s need to replenish nutrients.
Unani
medics strongly believe in the motto, “A family that eats together, stays
together” since it promotes emotional as well as mental health. It also
encourages a feeling of unity and affection among family members.
Further,
Dr. Shaikh goes on to explain how to eat in which she highlights the
following:
EAT
WITH ATTENTION
An excellent practice is to eat with 100% attention on the taste of the food
WATERY
/easily digested FOODS FIRST
CHEW
ALL FOOD CLOSE TO LIQUID
Avoid
drinking beverages or even water during or after meals
Eat in generous
amount… quit before satiety
The most frequently asked question is what to eat?
Nutritious, hygienic and well cooked food.
Well
balanced ( adequate calories…and amount of carbs, proteins and fat)
In
accordance with your temperament, pepsis power, body status and season for
example in cold weather eat vegetables with slight bitter taste ( bitter
gourd, soya, methi).
One
type of food at a time…at proper time interval ( 3-4 hrs or when previous
food is completely digested
Sweet
food item or wine… ( medicated) in moderate amount after the meal
Dr. Shaikh
also prescribes certain foods that suit the temperament of the person, that
is, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. She then goes to explain the
harmful food combinations that damage the body or act as ‘abusive substances’
for the stomach for example, sour things with milk, fish with milk, etc. but
she does recommend a power nap or a siesta after the afternoon lunch for
rejuvenation and refreshment of the body. This siesta helps in increasing
productivity, improving cognitive functions and alleviating stress.
After
meal drinks that are recommended by her are water, wine or nabeez (a Unani
drink). They aid in digestion and also add to the fluid content of the body.
As
she departs, she concludes with a short but effective message that says, “Eat
healthy and stay healthy.”

Healing with Ayurveda
HEALING WITH AYURVEDA
A talk on Ayurveda in
monsoons by Dr. Rohit Bartake at HELP library on June 13.
In
this talk Dr. Rohit Bartake talks about health and healing using ayurvedic
techniques in monsoons.
There
is a seasonal regime that must be followed by each individual, which encompasses
daily lifestyle along with diet and exercise. He talks about the two directions of the
earth during the summer and winter months namely, during which utmost care in
terms of body health is needed.
One
must avoid exercise during summer due to the proximity of the earth with the
sun. Similarly, during the winter months a gradual build up of energy is
created hence the body should not be strained too much during exercise.
During
the monsoon months, the vata gets aggravated and needs to be kept in check by
observing the following measures:
Avoid
leafy vegetables and fresh grains (grains grown in the same year)
Drink
lukewarm water.
Nourish
your body with daily sesame oil message.
Dr.
Bartake recommends that going outdoors should be avoided since the rains can
have a harmful effect on the body. Taking these precautions help in maintain good
health.
A
daily oil massage or the basti treatment is also recommended for people who suffer
from back pain, arthritis, gout, etc
Basti
therapy is one of the major pancharma treatments. Ayurvedic basti refers to
the introduction of certain oils, herbal concoctions, and sometimes milk or
other liquids through the perineum- anus.
Basti is the most effective treatment for vata dosha or vata disorders. The
term 'Basti' literally means bag or bladder. In ancient times, sterilized
urinary bladders of animals were used to injecBt the fluids into the rectum.
Therefore, this ayurvedic therapy came to be known as Basti Karma.
Ayurvedic
Basti restores the balance of the doshas or the body types. The Vata body
type, in particular, can get the maximum benefit of basti ayurvedic
therapies. Some of the advantages of Basti include
•
It increases weight in emaciated people by providing high nutrition and
rejuvenation.
•
It is also beneficial in weight loss programmes as some basti treatments
reduce weight in the obese
•
It improves vision
•
It prevents aging and brings back lustre, strength, and longevity.
•
•
It provides relief from constipation, distention, chronic fever, cold, kidney
stones.
•
It is also used to cure sexual disorders.
•
Basti is very beneficial in preventing heart pain, backache, sciatica and
other pains in the joints.
•
As vata disorder is the main cause of many pains including joint pains and
knee pain, basti provides relief in such conditions as arthritis, rheumatism,
gout, muscle spasms and headaches.
•
It is also effective for most of the digestive disorders like dry colon, dry
rectum condition and the tendency towards constipation resulting from such
conditions.
These
were only some conditions where basti proves to be beneficial. Ayurveda
practitioners use basti for treating many other medical conditions including
certain chronic diseases too.

Information Therapy - Doctor Rude
Do keep in mind that doctors are also human, and they are badgered by their own share of problems. On certain days they may seem rude or curt; on such days, give them a little leeway and a lot of understanding! The following terms can be very helpful when you talk to your doctor: Please tell me more about that. What does that mean in simple English? Could you explain that to me again? Could you write that down for me? Where can I find more information about this subject? You seem rushed. When can I call you to talk about this in more detail? Try to do your best to become an ideal patient, and learn to take an active interest in your medical care. After all, this is the only body you have! It's a simple fact of life that patients who know how to make the most of their doctor get better medical care. Therefore, it's very important that you learn how to do so ! Follow us on: |
