The word “Indigestion” is commonly used to describe the discomfort in one’s belly mostly caused after food consumption. Fullness,bloating, nausea, heart burn are other symptoms of Indigestion.

Before discussing Indigestion, understanding the process of digestion is very essential. The Ayurveda approach of explaining digestion is very simple and effective. The food we eat is digested by Agni or body fire which is present in our body. It is very much similar to the way we cook the food. The Agni or body fire helps to digest the food which is consumed, much like the fire of a stove cooks the food kept on it. The Agni is mainly situated in Jatara or in upper part of digestive system and is called as Jataragni. The Agni is further categorized as Bhootagni (which digests the 5 pancha mahabhoota factors present in food), Dhatwagni (The agni present in tissues which help them to absorb required nutrients), Malagni ( the agni which helps in formation of body wastes like stools, sweat and urine) . The Jataragni controls bhootagni, dhatwagni and malagni.

Through this it is evident that ayurveda approach of digestion explains cellular metabolism too.

The factors which help agni to digest the food completely. : Thridoshas -Vata , Pitta and Kapha help agni to digest the food.

If the process of digestion is compared to that of cooking rice, the stomach,like the vessel., receives food. Vata provides the necessary conditions like the air blower, Pitta acts like the stove, providing optimum working conditions while Kapha provides the moisture needed much like the water in the vessel. When all these factors are normal andwell balanced, an optimum condition is created to digest the food completely.

When food is completely digested by all the agnis, the body tissues will be well nourished and one is blessed with attractive complexion, glow, longevity, strength, good health, growth, enthusiasm, vitality and overall healthy development of body and mind.

The indigestion occurs when agni is imbalanced by the factors (tridoshas) which help agni to digest food. The variations of agni due to tridoshas are of 4 types.

Samagni (balanced agni) :The agni which is well balanced due to balanced tridoshas indicate the condition called Samagni . Samagni digests the food completely and nourishes the body tissues very well.

Vishamaagni (varying agni):- When vata is predominant this condition surfaces. The regular food gets digested normally on some occasions and poorly on others. Vata increasing foods and lifestyles lead to this condition. This variation of agni causes constipation, flatulence, pain in abdomen and other vata predominant diseases. The indigestion caused by this type of agni is called Vistabdhajeerna

Teekshnagni (increased agni) : This variation of agni occurs due to predominance of pitta. Pitta increasing foods and lifestyle cause this variation. This variation of agni causes increased hunger, thirst, acidity, heart burn and loose motions. The indigestion thus caused is called as Vidagdajeerna.

Mandagni (decreased agni): As increased moistness reduces the intensity of fire, the increased kapha reduces the intensity of agni. Kapha increasing foods and lifestyle cause this variation. Feeling Heaviness of body, swelling of eyelids (lower), belching which emit the smell of food consumed and water brash are few symptoms which of indigestion caused by mandagni. The indigestion caused by mandagni is called as amajeerna.

The decreased agni improperly digests the food and this indigested food is sticky in nature and improperly nourishes tissues, causing weakness of body. This sticky improperly digested food is called ama. Ama due to its sticky nature blocks the channels of body, vitiate doshas , contaminates tissues, imbalance body functions and cause diseases.

Causes of imbalance of agni which lead to indigestion

1.Spicy foods, chilly, oily foods, medicines, milk and milk products, tobacco and alcohol.
2.Irregular food habits and sleeping patterns.
3.Medications like pain killers, antibiotics, oral contraceptives and steroids.
4.Intestinal parasites.
5.Diseases of pancreas, liver, gall bladder, intestinal infections etc.
6.During pregnancy, premenstrual period, menopausal period in women.
7.Emotional upset like anxiety, stress, examination, family tensions, etc.

Home Remedies for Indigestion

1.Fasting completely for one day helps to normalize imbalanced agni and digest ama.

2.Consuming liquid foods, boiled vegetables or fruit juices for 2- 3 days also improves agni and relieves indigestion.

3.Avoid the factors (mentioned above) which cause indigestion.

4.Mix a ½ tea spoon of lemon juice, ½ tea spoon ginger juice and little salt in a cup of water and consume thrice daily.

5.Drinking ½ glass of warm water once in 2 hours increases agni and digests ama.

6.Cook ½ cup of rice with 4 cups of water with crushed ginger (1″) and salt. Powder long pepper (2 or 3)and fry it in a spoon of cow’s ghee and add it to gruel. Consume this when it hot. This is very light to digest and relieves colic pain.

7.Abdominal Massage also helps to relieve indigestion. It loosens the tight muscles and increases the blood supply to digestive system. American Journal of aphysical medicine and rehabilitation mentions that “Abdominal massage has positive effects on some clinical aspects of neurogenic bowel dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury. “

Consuming well balanced food balances doshas and agni and hence keeps the body healthy and free from diseases.

The just concluded SAARC Summit in New Delhi has turned out to be quite historic in its own way. Besides the usual rhetoric by the member nations especially between India and Pakistan the summit has seen significant new developments which can change the future course of South Asia if addressed in a proper way.

The most significant outcome of this summit has been the signing of the South Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) .The agreement was reached at the end of the two-day summit of the eight-nation South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in New Delhi. The trade agreement was though in effect since July last year but its full potentiality was so far held up due to difference of opinion between India and Pakistan. While adopting the agreement the Pakistan Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, said that “effective market access through smooth implementation of trade liberalization program” should be ensured. With the coming of SAFTA in full force South Asia would at last realize its full economic and strategic potentiality .SAFTA should have been effective at least a decade back .If that would have happened the economic growth and development of South Asia would have been in some other level today. However though late the silver lining is finally SAFTA is coming into effect.

The next step for SAARC after SAFTA should be visa free travel and a common currency unit similar to the Euro and a common SAARC monetary fund for development on which the work has already started. The leaders of SAARC nations should also try to establish a common South Asia banking system for developmental projects and uniform economic growth. The idea of the Indian Prime Minister for a common train, air and road transport network and free transit facilities should be welcomed by all and all means should be tried for achieving this in near future.

The latest inclusion of Afghanistan into the SAARC is a very positive development as without Afghanistan integration of SAARC as a regional forum was incomplete. The next step towards full integration of SAARC should be the inclusion of Myanmar in it as Myanmar historically has been a part of South Asia and could be a common point for future collaboration between ASEAN and SAARC.

A very significant development in this summit has been the first time inclusion and attendance of very important nations which are strategically and economically very important for the SAARC in future. The inclusion of South Korea , USA , China ,Japan and the European Union as full fledged observers has given SAARC not only a new teeth but has also enhanced its image as a important economic and strategic forum at a global level . With the coming of these countries as observers has given SAARC a much wider platform for business and trade. It has also given SAARC a much wider strategic platform. Probably this could be a stepping stone for SAARC to attain a global image like ASEAN, APEC and other forums in near future.

The mutual agreement by all the SAARC nations for the inclusion of Iran as a permanent observer and its referral to the SAARC foreign ministers is a welcome step and inclusion of Iran into SAARC would be very beneficial for the region as a whole both in terms of economic, strategic as well as market and trade wise . However SAARC should have a cautious approach on this as European Union and USA are now permanent observers of the SAARC.

India should adopt a very cautious approach on the inclusion of China as a full fledged member of SAARC as advocated strongly by certain SAARC countries like Nepal as it would not be in India’s strategic and economic interest to have China as a full fledged member of SAARC. Instead India should pitch for the inclusion of Russia for a permanent observer status as this would balance the strategic domination of the European Union, USA and China within the SAARC.

However the present SAARC summit has given SAARC a new direction and a new global look. From here the member nations should tread carefully. India should take a lead in it.

How Do I Get What I Want?

This really spun me out. I was told that all I needed to do was to form a vision and keep concentrating on it and at some point in the future it would manifest. You are probably thinking the same things that I did and I do not blame you. I sort of took on board the bit about thinking being in control of your feelings and emotions, but now to be told that those same thoughts could actually create actual things. Things were starting to get a bit mystical for me. I then thought how can I judge all this if I only do the bits that my previous programming allowed me to accept. I gave myself a good talking to and said that I was going to do exactly what I was told regardless of what I thought. If I can offer any advice at this point, it is to not try and work out what happens or use your knowledge to cherry pick the bits that you sort of believe. Just relax and believe that all the advice you are going to get has been tested by a total cynic, ME. I also made a promise that I would not tell any lies or embellish any happenings. OK lets get on with how we can programme our mind to make all these things happen. Firstly you must accept that what you know has got you to here, therefore anything that can move you on from this point is a bonus. The facts you are about to learn will move you onto a totally new existence.

Most of what we want in life is really a big jumble, we think of something that we want, and then we tell ourselves why we cannot have it. Now remember the power is there to give you exactly what you want. The problem is that our mind has been programmed over a period of many years by people who have not been privy to this amazing information. How then can your mind be ready to take advantage of all that is on offer. You may have heard such expressions as “The filthy rich” or “The smell of money” and many other such sayings that put a bad smell on anything to do with wealth. Let me tell you, life is much easier and a lot more fun, if you have access to money. The reason that we are taught all these things, is to protect us from apparent failure. We can justify us not attempting to obtain wealth and that is what happens, when you first try and put a vision together for your future. We visualise a lovely house, a new car and lots of other things that up until now we have only dreamed of and suddenly someone says, if you can focus on it and BELIEVE that you can have it, you can. Is it no wonder that our past programming buts in and says, “Don’t be silly, how can you get that , you are just Joe Bloggs why would you deserve such things.

My battle cry now is WHY NOT.
One thing I have learnt is that your thoughts are so powerful that they actually control your entire life. I have got to the point now that when I idly think something that I do not want to happen, I immediately change my thoughts back to positive happy thoughts. While you are trying to get your vision together start noticing the things that you think of, actually happen. My wife and I walk each morning and a few days ago there were some trees overhanging the path, we both said it’s about time the council trimmed those trees, lo and behold, the next day they had been trimmed. Yes everything is in perfect order.

Do you know that looks play a very important part in your social, private and professional life? A study conducted in America has found out that more then 95% people feel and also say that looks are important to be successful. More then 90% of those respondents have also said that smile is the first thing which they notice on a person and that smile goes a long way in making personal and professional decisions. So if you do not have the perfect smile, you know now that you must correct this. Veneers are nothing but thin layer or coverings that are used on teeth to correct and defect that may be visible to the naked eye. So if you are one of those individuals who have certain defects on the teeth that are visible to the naked eyes, they must take steps to correct the condition through using veneers.

If you have gaps in your teeth, or if your tooth is slightly broke, stained or in a bad shape dentists can use veneers to correct the condition. If you happen to be residing in a big city like NYC, then you are very lucky as you can have access to the best dentists that are operating in the city if you happen to suffer from any kind of dental defect.

Remember it is always better for you to see the dentist before the condition becomes difficulty to cure. After checking your condition if the dentist asks you to undergo any treatment you must make sure that you do this.

Applying veneers on teeth is a very easy task for the dentist. The main reason for this is the fact that this application mostly does not require the application of any type of anesthesia. Porcelain veneers, a type of veneers can be effectively used to mask any discoloration which may be present on your teeth. Veneers are very much resistant against all types of staining that are cause by certain food stuffs. So after applying veneers on your teeth you can safely take food stuffs like tea, coffee and red wine without too much of a restriction. However you must make sure that just because you have applied veneers does not mean that you can indulge in eating all these food stuffs.

Huge advancements have been made in the field of dentistry and in present times almost any kind of dental defect can be cured without any problem. In fact there is no reason for you to not work towards perfecting your smile. With the use of veneers and the other treatment procedures available everything can be treated properly.

Everyone of you will have experienced things in your life that you have called coincidences, an example could be that you were thinking about calling someone and then out of the blue, they rang you, or you got something as a present or gift from someone, that was something that you had not told or discussed with anyone. These are not coincidences, they are the result of your thoughts. Your thoughts totally control your life. If you have never considered this, check out times in your life when you are happy, and you are thinking happy thoughts, and check out when you are stressed. In both situations you are ‘thinking’ your state of mind. You can change your mood by changing your thoughts. We are not going to bog ourselves down with any scientific mumbo jumbo, so I will just give you a very quick excersise to do that will illustrate this. Take any situation at the moment that is worrying you. Whatever it is ask yourself two questions, “Have I done all I can to solve this problem?” and two “Is there anything else I can do to solve this problem?”

If you answer YES and NO in that order, it makes sense then, that at this point in time, there is nothing more you can do to alter the situation. What do you do then? The answer is going to shock you, but you FORGET about it until such time as it re presents itself as an actual problem. This might sound irresponsible, but that is only your past programming telling you that you should be worried. Why do we all try and solve problems that do not exist? If you have a real problem, however difficult it seems, you can plan a way to solve it. That is because it exists. The problem with stress is that it is caused by imagined problems, that do not exist. They are the problems where we say “What if?” or “If that happens what shall we do?” These are things you cannot solve, because in reality they do not exist.

This exercise sounds very simple but it takes a while to master it. As in all things practice makes perfect. Eventually you will clear your mind of all these problems that are in your imagination and only deal with things that you are in control of. Many of my clients say, “Well that’s OK but what if we owe some money and we cannot pay it?” The formula is just the same, “Have I done all I can to solve it , is there anything more I can do to solve it?” If you can honestly answer YES and NO then you may as well forget it until it presents itself as a real problem. The odds are that the money will be available in time anyway, provided that you have budgeted correctly, so why stress out during that period.

This is not a charter for you to be irresponsible, because you are in control of your budgeting. If you put yourself into that position you can only blame yourself. If the debt becomes apparent because of a change in circumstances, you can apply this test, trying to second guess what might happen, will only give you an imaginary problem to solve. If you owe money to a lending institution, you can always try and sort out things as soon as you are aware of your situation. Whatever they then decide to do will be a real problem and you will be able to act accordingly. If you think back over your life, real problems always have a logical solution, whereas imaginary ones can never be solved. The solution may not always be agreeable, but at least it is a solution. I call this state of trying to solve imaginary scenarios, CIRCULAR THOUGHT. As in a circle there is no beginning and no end. The preceding exercise stops the mind going round in circles, trying to find a solution to an imaginary situation.

Please keep practicing this as it is one of the most important exercises.

After you have all the information, you can get started. Much of what you first decide upon will concern your monetary assets; where to allocate them, how much to use, etc. Here are a few tips when it comes to organizing your new tutoring business.

*Map out policies. Determine your prices and make a clear, concise outline of how much you will ask for and how long your tutoring periods are. Also, create certain times you will allow students to have make-up sessions in the case that someone misses a tutoring session. Both parents and students need to be aware of your policies so there is less of a chance of any confusion should times or payment not be met. A good idea is to get your payment before the week (or the tutoring period you decide on) starts. This will help lessen absences and cause less frustration to you when people do suddenly cancel.

*Go local first. See if your community has any specific regulations you should follow when it comes to tutoring. Different communities may be looking for different things or look at tutoring in a certain light. You can also provide your tutoring service directly to schools, but make sure you know what they expect from you, as well as what the parents expect.

*Bring your services right to parents. Pick out good places to advertise your services and start doing so. Many libraries have boards where you can post fliers or advertise in other local publications you are sure parents will look at. You can also network with schools. If you are working with the school, they can refer you to parents seeking tutoring for their children, or if you are your own separate business, you can ask that they pass information along concerning your services.

*Put a hold on teaching material. The best idea is to wait until after your first few tutoring sessions (as well as payments) before you go out and splurge on tutoring material. Each student will be learning something different, depending upon your choice of age range and subject range, and buying up a lot of supplies can become very expensive very quickly. Initially your computer will be your best tool. With internet access you can find free teaching materials or if you need, lesson plans. You may even be able to find material at your library. There are also cheap materials you can buy online if you need, so hold off on bigger items until you are sure you will need them, such as textbooks, workbooks, and other large purchases.

*Watch your cash flow. If you have teamed up with a school or two and have settled in on getting paid through their payroll instead of directly through parents, be sure you can manage your money effectively. There are some schools that have a 90-day pay delay, so if you are expecting your paycheck soon, you may be in for a longer wait than you thought. Be sure to have enough cash on hand until your next check.

Building a tutoring business can be difficult, but it can also be rewarding. Knowing you are helping children succeed in school and feeling more comfortable about subjects they were previously struggling in can be gratifying. If you want to open a business that helps children and provides you with a sense of accomplishment as well, then a tutoring business may be a worthwhile venture.

The little souvenirs or wedding favors given to the guests during the wedding celebration is not just simply a reminder of that very special day. It also serves as a token to the guests, the couple’s way of showing appreciation and gratitude, because they have become part of their union and celebration. Depending on the bride and groom, wedding favors may come in different types. Some couples even have different favors for different sets of guests. With so many options, choosing the right one could prove challenging.

The different types of wedding favors are:

SOMETHING EDIBLE. Wedding favors may be given in the form of something edible such as chocolates, special cupcakes, fortune cookies or assorted nuts. A specially concocted wine is another good suggestion couples can give to their principal sponsors.

SOMETHING USEFUL. These are those items which not only serve as a decorative ornament - guests can still make use of these even after the wedding. Each of these items may carry a few wedding details. Examples include:

–Candle
–Letter opener
–Key chain
–Bath salts & scrubs
–Potted plant
–Picture frame
–Coasters
–Desk pad
–Colognes and fragrance spray
–Fan
–Stuffed animal

A MEDIA SOUVENIR. Aside from common decorative tokens which may only be kept in display cabinets in most cases (such as bells, baskets or dove figurines), couples now have this option to give away souvenirs that reflect their union, such as a compilation of their favorite love songs on a CD. Also, using digital technology, souvenirs may be made of and at the actual event. Photos captured a few hours into the ceremony may be reproduced and immediately transferred to a DVD or CD, which may be distributed to the guests just before they leave the party.

BASED ON THE SEASON. Giving away favors based on the season leaves a lasting impression. For instance, if the wedding is going to be held in the summer, silk fans will be a gift your guests will appreciate. For weddings celebrated in spring, lovebirds or a creative bird’s nest filled with goodies is not only a charming gesture, but an innovative idea as well.

BASED ON THEME. Typically, most couples choose wedding favors that coincide with the whole theme. Those ceremonies, held in a more lavish and elegant setting, will surely be better off with elegant mementos as well. Those that are held in a more informal and relaxed environment, such as a garden wedding or a beach wedding, will find garden-themed or nautical-themed items more fitting.

In planning your wedding favors, your personal style as a couple must reflect the item you choose, on top of the theme or motif your wedding carries. Don’t worry about the budget. If there are some constraints in this department, you always have other options. A simple yet thoughtful souvenir you give to guests to remind them of this day will be more than appreciated. That is, after all, the reason why you’re giving these favors away in the first place.

Never

“Never, Never, Never give up”

Now
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

By Omar Khayyam (1048?-1122)

Live today do not harp back to the mistakes of yesterday, or focus your efforts on tomorrow the only time you have is NOW

No one
No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Permission
Choose to feel good about yourself. People often don’t realise that this choice is up to them.
We must take responsibility for the condition we’re in and stop acting like passive victims.

Nonsense
Do you agree that a lot of people you know talk a lot of nonsense!
If that is the case do you make a conscious effort to avoid them?
Or at least reduce the amount of your valuable time you spend in their company.

Numbers
Numbers are the one and only way to check progress.
If you employ salespeople do you not want to know how many calls they make in a period of time and how many orders they have taken?
Likewise do you measure your own outputs in terms of items achieved during a day or a given period of time?
If your saving up for a holiday or a new piece of equipment do you not check how much you have from time to time.
Numbers are important if only to measure progress.
