Mind and Body connection...

The mind is like a complex instrument.Very few people can understand the entire working and complexity of an instrument.But for the ones who do not know the insides of the machine,it would be a delicate thing to handle.The same is true for our brains.It is so hugely complex,that very few would have rather understood it.It is in fact considered as complex as our universe.But the few who have understood it,haven't done so with the genius of the medical world,but through the art and science of meditation.This means have been there and practiced through generations.It has been an instrument for the Gurus and the intellectuals who have gone onto the path of truth.But today,it has been widely accepted,both in the spiritual and the medical world,that the benefits of Meditation has been enormous.In fact,the technique of 'Pranayama' has been considered as one of the best means for healing some deseases,especially the mental ones.But you do not need to be a Yogic to follow these techniques.Just a bit of attention in your daily life can help you benefit your mind.Just being conscious would reduce the load on your brain considerably,thus reducing stress and work tensions.It would relax your muscles and slow down your pulse-rate,thus providing a better functioning for your heart,which indirectly would help a smoother fuctioning of the mind.One should note the cyclic process that is involved in this.Controlling the mind,controls the heart and the remaining parts of the body,which ensures a healthy brain.It is this cyclic process that has been recognised and endured by the gurus.One has to know the realms of mind and brain to know and understand the working of the rest of the body.It would come as a shock to the freshers in this area,but for the ones who are experienced,would ascertain me in this saying.So the mind and body connection has to be appreciated first to understand the technique of Meditation.I wish not to be a teacher,but a learner,for learning would be helping my teaching.Hence I would encourage other people to share their experiences with me and start a cyclic process of discovery of the 'Mind and Body' connection.
