Be guided by Intuitions

I wish there could have a mind-mapping system based on the power of intuitions. We have GPS systems to enable our physical trajectories enriched and informed; what sea changes in our lives can occur if we are able to weigh the relevance of intuitions, in isolation or in combination?

GPS System is based on previous recordings, the relevant data and the authentic information about a place’s whereabouts and reach. Can our intuitions also lead us somewhere, if given a scientific thin-slicing? Intuitions are not the progenies of left-over thoughts; I believe enough scientific and spiritual work is needed to prove the real motive and significance of intuitions.

It’s not in the jolts of psychoneurotic trance that one comes across truthful intuitions; we witness their close brush with reality in broad day light, every now and then. The question is who is allowed to witness what measure of intuitional accuracy? Do you rough away the facts by rendering them premonitions or a portion of your nervous system feels an affinity to dwell a little deep within?

What is the etiology of intuitions? What are the pathways of intuitions? What are the fundamental reasons for origin of intuitions? What drives intuitions? Period!! What is an intuition? Does it hold some link between our past lives and present life? Does it hold some clue to the development of our super-sensory system? 

You catch sleep or the sleep catches you?

You close your eyes and squeeze your thinking neurons a bit; the happenings of the day flash like a blinding fluorescent chain of lights. The sequences start blending with one another so perfectly that the intervening lines get voided, with no realization of the same. The period of wakefulness had fatigued enough to be wanting to rest in coffin; the coffin of shredded hopes, rummaged beliefs and crushed spirit. You gradually direct your optical focus to the liquid crystal display of your television set and the pixels start turning into howling circles of peppy colors.

The night is so unpredictably exaggerated; it has an ocean of subtle emotions waiting to be touched and aroused. That is one of the very important reasons why we have programmed ourselves to go into a numb state of mind as soon as the black blanket covers the Mother Nature. The darkness is asphyxiating for its obvious appearance and freeing for its occult power. The equations seem weirdly unsolvable because they are not seen with the relevant perspective; problem doesn't lie in the mystifying nature of the equations that waft from the night, problems lie in the unenlightened states of mind that lack the knowledge, courage and insight to address the equations properly and solve them altogether.

Finally the ultimate happens. The centers of wakefulness in your brain are forced to experience a temporary death and you sulk in your bed with limp limbs. They say this programming is to get your body the required invigoration; I feel it has more to it than what we fathom by our gullible eyes. The sleep is the order of the nature; an order of the magnitude that it can cost you a life if you don't fall in the line of abiding slaves. Have you ever realized that the night shields a lot of conspiracies of nature from us by making us attain a forced hypnotic state? 

Its important to follow medical ethics

In the health care milieu, all the medical professionals are supposed to follow a certain set of ethics to be able to render their duties without any bias; however, in the present context, I seldom come across cases which can blatantly be termed as breach of the same. It disturbs me to realize that most of these cases go unnoticed, leaving the general public at lurch.

Late night commercials about medical products that claim to work better than the standard options of medical sciences evoke a lot of interest in general public. I fail to understand how a mixture, which is supposed to be applied topically, can bring about changes in the mal-aligned bones, ligaments and tissues; and this is what is portrayed every night over prominent channels by various animations and grand talks. Do you think putting a disclaimer for less than 5 seconds prior to the start of program can help the viewer come to an enlightened choice?

We get to see a lot of dubious medical claims in newspapers everyday, ranging from solutions to achieve incredible increase in height to permanent solutions for a range of seemingly notorious medical ailments. We see a lot of doctors, belonging to an array of diverse health care systems, practicing allopathy; medical ethics involve all the streams of health care sciences – why shouldn’t we simply introspect and follow the right path?

A small hole near the bottom of the ship can derelict its survival in the sea; our healthcare system is witnessing a farrago of such holes. Healthcare system is based on mutual trust and display of ethics without fail; and I believe that by not contributing actively to curb the menace, we are betraying the common people. It’s time to keep aside the sympathy nerve and listen to the call of the soul.

List of 10 things I love to do online

1. I recently came across a site goodreads.com; this site has a vast amount of books to read. I find it great to manage sometime to read other people’s mind; and the collection of quotes in this site is just awesome.
2. I seldom browse through Blogger’s blogs of note to get a peek into people’s creativity and indulgence in various aspects of life.
3. I seldom check the top trends in twitter (for the day) and click on the term that interests me to find out all the related opinions, comments and facts about the same.
4. I have fine tuned myself for using dropbox this year; and I found it a great way to keep my data stored (and shared, when I want) in a safe way.
5. I love to spur my mind by having a peek at the slideshow of the highest rated photos on flickr for past 1 week.
6. I love to send my colleagues e-cards. I have been using 123greetings for this ad infinitum.
7. I frequently surf scribd to find out ancient medical books and literature that is hard to find in paper prints these days. There are many such sites but I have found this one to be the best.
8. I frequently subscribe to the rss list of noteworthy medical journals and sites so that I get my daily dose in the inbox.
9. I love to check for the latest surgical techniques by absorbing the videos in youtube.
10. Facebook. The love of our lives. The affair continues, though the sheen has started to fade a bit.

7 steps to live a beautiful life

1. You are being given ample of freedom to choose. You can choose between a good habit and a bad habit. Helping others is a good habit; prayer is a good habit.
2. The only real impediment to your own success and path to glory is your own string of negative thoughts. Realize it sooner to overcome it.
3. You form habit patterns in your subconscious by repeating an act or a thought every time, under a specific stimulus, over a long period. In the beginning you define your habits, and later on your habits define you.
4. Others’ statements can’t hurt you directly. To hurt you, they must travel the channels of your own thoughts and mind maps. No one can hurt you without your conscious or subconscious will.
5. You must know how to discipline the mind. An undisciplined mind can feed the subconscious in an undesirable way. Hang loose; and look before you leap.
6. The power of imagination separates us from the rest of the breathing species. If this is the decisive power, then we must use it to get evolved further.
7. Handle fear with faith. Ring the knell of negative thoughts.

Watch before you eat

Scientific studies are coming up with unbelievable results. Intake of trans-fatty acids is now studied to be linked with increased incidences of aggressive behavior, impatience and irritability. Contrarily, omega 3 fatty acids are known to induce a state of agreeability and placidity. The moment I read this report, I thought to discuss the scope of this report with my colleagues so that we may improve the standards of dietary instructions to be given to the patients. The report had been alarming in coming to a conclusion that a diet containing excess trans fatty acids can cause harsh mental discordance including severe depression and at times, suicidal instincts.

I think, we, behave erratically when it comes to diet. At some spectrums, we tend to over limit us and at others, we tend to be extremely lenient. I come across parents who keep a strict watch over their kids’ diet, and this is not always healthy for the kids. I recently got a couple counseled as their child had been suffering with deficiency of some of the vital nutrients just because of too much interference with the normal way of dietary intake that a child should be allowed to indulge in.

A lot of patients make it a habit to self-prescribe multivitamin pills and keep on using them for years; I don’t bolster this practice at all. We must aim to keep our nutritional and physiological status in equilibrium so that there is minimal need of any supplements; a healthy state of body and mind would help you doing well with just the use of natural resources. Bulimia nervosa used to be a condition typically found in young girls; a thing of past I must say. I frequently come across patients, which range from being the amateurish adolescents to middle aged men to senior citizens, who practice to throw out after indulging in some high calorie meals. The trend, I believe, is just the tip of the iceberg. 

10 things to stop tolerating

1. People who conspire to bring you down: Try your level best to bring the best out of people; however, remember that relationships are supposed to help you, not hurt you.  Spend time with nice people who are levelheaded, driven by ethics and like minded.
2. A work environment that you don’t appreciate: A major part of your life would be spent at your workplace; choose efficiently. Don’t settle on the first or second career choice you dabble in; you’re your searching engines roaring to help you obtain the best.  If you find your work environment asphyxiating, its time to call quits.
3. The negative spaces of your mind: Be aware of the negative echoes that emanate from your mind.  Know when to put a kibosh on.  Don’t keep in company with negative thoughts for the chances of you getting adversely affected would run high.
4. A cluttered living space: Seek the arrangements and orders; the nature is full of discipline and systems.  Get rid of stuff you don’t use. Make it a habit to clean your work space before switching on the screen.
5. Being repetitive: Explore facets of life. Do things differently. Learn new skills. The more you experience, the more rewarding your life story gets.
6. Dishonesty: Honesty is an act of faith, and faith has no substitute. Cultivate above par standards.  Don’t be dishonest to any body and don’t put up with people who are. An honest failure is better than a corrupt win.
7. Stress to fit in with the herd:  You are born different. You are burdened with mammoth expectations; and you can possibly do more harm to you by adding your own expectations from yourself. Live freely. Know your uniqueness. Cultivate it. Bask in its glory.  Don’t kowtow.  Be you, because that’s the only person you can be.
8. Fear of change: Nature’s ordeals are difficult to understand; the only constant of nature is change. Life is an assemblage of various changes.  Every day is a different leaf in the book of life.  Embrace it and shine brilliantly.
9. All work and no play: Take out some time to thwart off work related worries. Have a ball. If you’re smiling, you’re doing something right. Playing means doing something that you love to get indulged in; getting relaxed is important.
10. Inadequate preparedness: Life can take unpleasant turns at times; preparedness holds the key. Don’t pass your sell-by date.
