Our
planet earth or as we call her Mother Earth is still suffering from this deadly
virus Covid19. The entire world is trying to find a cure but till now we haven’t
succeeded in creating a vaccine for the same. Last month I discussed as to how
this pandemic has demolished the structures of civilized world and how the fact
that the modern economies have to stop their functions has resulted into the
healing of our Environment and how we need to discuss and deliberate on the
issue of environmental conservation in a better way.
Now
again I am coming amidst you all in with some of the things we need to think about
on our Individual level. Now that we are proceeding with Unlock nationwide,
what all are the things that are to be kept in mind. This transition needs to
be very smooth. Many have lost the source of livelihood, many business have
suffered great losses, many people have lost their jobs, many students are
suffering from depression and many families are suffering from internal
conflicts. In such a stressful situation, we need to be extra careful.
One
very common reason is the level of negativity that is there around us due to
Covid19. Most of us are still home bound and the news related to Covid19 and
related deaths is flowing into our minds from all the sources, be it print
media, digital media or social media. This is creating a lot of negativity in
our minds and we are unable to focus and gather the positivity we require. Through
the help of Meditation and with Dhairya and
Sankalp we can fight this situation
and we are able to emerge as victorious.
Any
situation can be dealt with our Sankalp. If you have Guru meditate on Guru
Mantra. Pray to your Guru to show you the path, pray to your guru that you want
to meditate and follow him on the path of spirituality and your Guru will guide
you. If you don’t have taken Diksha simply sit with your eyes closed and try to
meditate on the Deity you are attached to and that shall be your first step.
Other
than that some changes in our daily routine transforming our lives into spiritual
lives can of be of great help. We have witnessed that in order to deal with
this pandemic we are returning to our roots and going back to the teachings of
our culture. The culture which modernity rejected as primitive is now coming to
our rescue. Traditions like to sanitize ourselves after coming from outside and
above all the tradition of ‘Namaskara’
are some examples.
Sun
is the main source of all the forms of energy we have around us and it is one
of the finest manifestation of all that belongs to the one truth of universal
existence. Sun is the source of life on our planet and it is the source of ‘Prana’ in all the living organisms. You
can take the ‘urja’ from Sun to make
your body healthy and it may free you from dangerous diseases.
You
can do 12 rounds of Surya Namaskara. Surya Namaskara keeps our body fit and
energises it with our internal positive spiritual energy. Surya Namaskara is a
well-known exercise and details related to it are easily available on the
internet. The next thing we all should do is recite or chant Om for a few
minutes as per our comfort. Om is the supreme cosmic sound and known as the
first ‘Dhwani’ or ‘Naad’ of this universe. The importance
of Om is well recognized in entire world. Through doing ‘Om Japa’ we can fill ourselves and our surroundings with utmost
positive energy.
For
meditation choose a clean place of your home where you can be aloof and sit on
a mat in asana (Sukhasana), close your eyes and try to bring all your senses
with your mind and focus on space between both the eyebrows (It is the place of
Aagya Chakra which deals with intuition and your will power). Try to keep your
calm and let it happen. It will eventually settle and you will start feeling
that it is getting better in some time. You can take some steps like keep a
lamp of Kapoor (Camphor) for some time. Kapoor adds oxygen in the environment
and is very good for your internal health.
We
also should plant Tulsi in sufficient quantity. Tulsi purifies the air and
keeps the Oxygen positively charged. It is also a very important herb in
Ayurveda and has medicinal abilities to cure many diseases. All those who can should
also imbibe the habit to do ‘Pranayama’. Pranayama increases and stabilizes your
Pranic energy and with regular
practice it can make wonders within yourself. You can feel the difference
within yourself.
For
Pranayama you can sit in either Padmasana, Sukhasana, Siddhasana or Vajrasana.
If you can’t sit on floor you can always sit on the chair. The important thing
you need to be careful about while doing Pranayama is to keep your backbone
straight throughout. Then you can start with deep breathing and slowly should
go and proceed with your own pace. Don’t hurry. Everyone has their own
different abilities. Acknowledge yours and go with it. Misinformation while
doing Pranayama can be very dangerous. Don’t rely much on Internet. Only if you
are sure about the authenticity of source take instructions from there. The
best way if you don’t know the Pranayama is to find a professional instructor
and learn from him.
Along
with all this you should focus on developing some good habits. Develop right
eating habits, take fruits and herbs which boost our immunity. You must follow
social distancing. Above everything keep a positive attitude and don’t panic.
I suggest that following two homemade solutions can be taken to boost our
immunity-
· Cinnamon,
Ginger, Tulsi and Cardamom can be boiled together to form a good Kadha.
· Cinnamon,
Lemon, Turmeric and Ginger can be boiled as an alternative. You should take
them when they are fresh and hot.
Please
note that these are not cure for Covid19. They are simple home solutions to
boost our immunity according to Ayurveda. May you all find peace.
