To ride bicycle one has to learn to pedal and steer at the same time. Only pedaling or only steering will not enable a person to ride a bicycle. Both have to be done simultaneously. Same way we should know how to work with energy and consciousness to run our life well balanced.
Energy means a thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the capacity of a physical system to do work. A good knowledge of the rise and falls of energy ‘prana’ enable us to judge the quality of our life health and personality as well.
First thing is to realize that we are energy! Without energy the body is of no use. Prana is the primary basic energy within the subtle body; life force and it circulates throughout the body.
Dealing with energy!!! How we feel is an indication of what is happening with our energy. Energy ebbs and flows within us, so noticing what causes these ebbs and flows allows us to make conscious choices in our life from a healthy perspective.
Every moment we get energy and we lose energy. When the energy we receive is greater than the energy we lose, we feel alert happy and enthusiastic. When the energy we lose is greater than the energy we receive we feel dull, lazy and sick. A preponderance of energy indicates a mental state conducive to higher values in life.
The quantity and quality of energy and the way in which it flows through our nerves determine ones state of mind and emotions. When we are happy, serene, aware, loving and compassionate is an indication of preponderance of vital force. When we are vain, domineering, jealous, envious, hateful, restless, arrogant, guilty all shows a fall in vital force.When our minds are lethargic, confused, sad easily angered for no justifiable cause, deluded and unable to comprehend, vulnerable to sensual impulses; it is to be understood that we have lack of life force.
Furthermore everything that acts on the body use up energy. Using nerve energy in excess of normal production, results in enervation and toxemia. A good knowledge of the rise and falls of energy level enable us to judge the quality of our own personality and health as well.If most of the time the characteristic of gearing up energy is there we can rest assured that our personality has to become mostly pure and we have made good progress.
Dealing with Consciousness!!! Consciousness is an alert cognitive state in which you are aware of yourself and situation. It is the immaterial part of a person; the actuating cause of an individual life. It is the supreme soul that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings and ego; the base faculty of reason the drive momentum behind our life.
To deal with consciousness we should know how we are connected with consciousness. How the consciousness affects on nature to manifest as you. It is not present at some point in the brain, some point of your heart but it is all over the body. Each cell is surrounded by a layer of consciousness, a cloud of energy. When this cloud of energy, or consciousness, is vital, happy, pure, and free of stresses, it can penetrate into the DNA cells and clear those cells revitalize the cells.
There is so much deep knowledge about consciousness; we should sometimes meditate and go much deeper into it. We will understand more. The more you understand, the more wonder-struck we are. This happens during life style modification course the eating habits, breathing practices and meditation. You will realize that the cells do not exist by them. They are made to exist and live by consciousness, by the mind, by Being, which is basic in creation.
Nature treats You: One seed sprouts and the seed has the whole structure of how the plant will develop – what should be hard, what is soft, and what should be the inside. The entire structure of a plant is present in every seed. In the same way, the DNA contained in every cell of our body contains the whole program of our being. Affecting a change at the level of the seed can affect a change in the whole stem, the whole flower, the entirety of the plant. Affecting a change at the level of our being, the very core of our consciousness, means we have to get back to the source, the sap. We have to get back to the seed the source. That source is Consciousness, and the path is Nature and the conveyance is our mind mind.
Information can be acquired by reading books or browsing the Internet. You can open a book on life style modification such as how to lose weight, how to regain health, how to prepare for an interview, how to develop personality and so on. But the awareness or connection cannot be established with consciousness through perception or intellect it is possible only through planning, implementation and practice and experience.
Consciousness is the base, the cause of energy the cosmic force! Mind is the connecting link between you and consciousness. See, every cell in your body is emitting some energy and the totality of all that energy within and around you is the mind. Every cell in our body has the capacity to produces energy. Totality of the energy produced by the cells of our body shapes and manifest as mind power.
The brain is an amazing three-pound 1400cc organ that controls all functions of the body, interprets information from the outside world, and embodies the essence acting as antenna of the mind and soul. Apart from food and physical well being, our ability to connect with consciousness is profoundly affected by the predominance sattwa and Rajas and proper blending of three Gunas qualities to balance ego and act as bridge between mind and intellect and mental (Anthakarana) balance.
In the modern world fortunately/unfortunately we have access to an abundance of everything especially food far more than we actually need. Nevertheless, our diet is frequently impoverished. Many of the food we eat are high in saturated fat, sugar, salt and flavorings, and lacking in fiber, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Part of the reason for this is that modern food production involves extensive processing and refining techniques, which strip food of its natural qualities and introduce artificial poisonous ingredients that are designed to enhance flavor and shelf life which affects our inner faculties in a wrong manner.
Other than these, sedentary job and luxurious mechanical living has given maximum comfort with no physical activities made people so lazy and lethargic which again lead to exhaustion of mind enervation and toxemia. Systematic discipline during life style modification suggests ways of leading a correct life style as well as other useful skills that will help you to begin a lifelong life style!

Living Well Nutrition & Meditation- Weekend Course!!!
“Sopanam” introduces Living Well- Nutrition & Meditation Course!!! A three months weekend Course!!!Health is a valuable present for human life. It seems to be a real challenge to maintain good health in today's world. Reason could be stress, pollution, lack of understanding about oneself and suitable routine, diet and other unhealthy practices of living. As in the course of time over generations, man moved away from the nature and the healthy way of living. Consequently the life force immune system of the human body got weakened and vulnerability to disease increased.
We always live in an easy way till we find a disease. None of us live thoughtfully. Today we spend time working hard, earning money, and investing in different businesses again to earn or pay interest and lose peace of mind in either case. Many live in a negligent world. Many invest money in some large health’s budget to preserve health. We may have enough money, investments, new house, dream business or job, new car and luxuries, once diagnosed a chronic disease none of them cannot buy health.
Neglecting one's own life due to either ignorance or negligence may lead to vicious cycle. We have almost lost touch of what the grannies of the past used to practice at our homes to preserve the health of the whole family by using simple herbs, and spices which were readily available in any household. If we have the inherit knowledge, know how to protect ourselves from disease through health education, there is no need to spend much money for curing.
The investment for health education and preventive measures are as important as saving our life! In reality there are very fewer courses which supply information about the health knowledge. Instead everywhere a lot of hospitals have been build. Hospitals certainly play an important role in society. No one can ignore the importance of hospitals and doctors. They have existed to save our lives. The real objective ultimate health care goal should be to make everyone as their own doctors and eradicate the need for hospitals. But unfortunately, neither at home nor at school an emphasis is given on the importance of preventing disease.
“Prevention is better than cure” is an appealing lovely statement. This proverb advises everyone to take care of themselves before it is too late to live their lives. We all know this proverb is appealing but not everyone can adjust their lives to live healthier. It is to be said unavoidably that cure is always a secondary step to make our body healthy. First step is to foreclose, adopt a healthy nutritional pattern and live in the light of knowledge. Origination-Birth, Existence-being, growth-alteration, decay-aging and death-demise is the life cycle; it is true that at some point of time everyone has to decay and die. But till then live life to the fullest.
Our message to all our friends is simple, understand the various strata of our constitution and learn skills to handle at each level relax the mind that control emotions, remain in harmony with body the society. Unless the quality of life is improved, disappointment and frustration will continue to devastate individual, family and society interfering creativity, productivity, harmonious interaction and will ultimately affect job, personal life, family and social life. Now, the need for a holistic approach to health is more significant than ever before. The need for the hour is awareness- energy- knowledge. First step is to enlighten ourselves. Health education & right life style contributes to meditation leads you to good health. Ignorance and wrong living leads you to medicinal drug. Medicine and meditation come from the same root. Their meaning is the same to heal. Medicine is a medicament which heals the body, meditation is a medication which heals the mind both together heals the individual without a drug. Food should be your drug. Food is medicine! Living well- nutrition & meditation is a life style training program a journey from medicine to meditation based on the doctrine of simple living & constructive thinking designed by 'Sopanam", through this program we intend to bring this knowledge of holistic living back to our homes where Meditation becomes the tool for medication. Knowledge about the fundamental principles of nature and understanding the functions of our body especially mindfulness the trait of staying aware of your responsibilities will help us to remain happy throughout life. We once again remind you that investing in health knowledge is worth it, insist you to take a firm stand, enroll, EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
