New Delhi: Life is a mixed bag of experiences that keeps us on our toes. Almost as soon as we begin to start interacting with the outside world, there are situations of stress. Children, too, face stress just like adults. The only difference is the nature of situations that we find stressful. Stress is necessary for our growth; this is a positive stress which makes our life feel rich. However, negative stress has no positive outcome except that it takes a toll on our mental and physical health.

Stress cannot be avoided, but how we deal with it can definitely be learned. Ancient practices of yoga, meditation and mindfulness equip us with the tools to manage stress in a constructive manner. Invest in a regular practice of yogic techniques like asanas, pranayama, and meditation practice etc. This will ensure that you have taken care of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Yogic practices align the mind, body and spirit helping you to better understand your own true nature and master your emotions. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation, Chandra Namaskar or Moon Salutation can also be included in your daily practice. Even for someone who is always on the go, all you need is 15 minutes to give yourself the gift of health, and peace.

Start with Sukshma Vyayam or subtle exercises. These consist of a gentle rotation of neck, arms, wrists, hips, ankles to slowly warm up the joints. Walk around briskly, and stretch and mobilize your muscles. This will prepare your body for practice, and keep you safe from practice-related injuries. Here are a few simple asanas that you can hold for up to a minute each.

Super Power Meditation is also a highly recommended practice as this influences the rate at which your body can heal itself. Meditation techniques can improve your mood, calm your mind and help to relax you. To practice this, seat yourself on a peak of the mountain in Sukhasana or any other comfortable pose that gives you the shape of a pyramid.

The intention is to sit in the shape of a triangle atop a mountain. In this position, you need to visualize a reverse triangular shield in your chest and then meditate. During the meditative process, with every inhale, this shield allows you to welcome all the positive energies of the world into you. And, as you exhale you release unwanted toxins, miseries, and negativity from within you.

Find a place which you do not frequent, preferably a natural environment for this technique. Sit in any comfortable posture such as Sukhasana. Look ahead for 5 seconds, behind you for another five seconds and on Right and Left sides for five seconds each. Now close your eyes and recollect as many details that you observed as possible.

Benefits: This meditative technique has numerous benefits. Helps to instil a sense of calmness It also builds your observation skills The process of this meditation helps improve Memory power It slowly builds within the practitioner a greater sense of gratitude.

Method:

Technique:

Technique:

Gently close your right nostril with your thumb, inhale into your left nostril and close it, letting the breath out through the right nostril. Then inhale through your right, closing it to exhale only through your left. This makes one cycle.

Try to include inversions as often as you can in your practice. These are very beneficial for the health of your nervous system. Poses such as Adho Mukha Svanasana, Halasana, Chakrasana, Sirshasana allow fresh blood to flow into your body. In asanas like Halasana, when the neck and spine are stretched, it releases any stress stored within them. This helps to reduce anxiety and bring calmness to your being. Follow this up with a breathing technique for another 3 minutes, meditation for 2-3 minutes too, and you can wrap it up by chanting a few mantras too. Apply these techniques with commitment in order to take positive steps towards your well-being.

Meditation Software Market (impact of COVID-19) with Top Players: Deep Relax,Smiling Mind,Inner Explorer, Inc.,Committee for Children,Stop, Breathe,...

Your own research site Operation Prefrontal Cortex provides information on meditation and the impact it can have on the brain. Had you been meditating before your shooting and what came afterwards?

Yeah, meditation was actually something I was already doing. But I didnt really know what it was doing for me. It wasnt until later, when I started reading different things that talked about violence and aggression, the brain, abuse, neglect, stress and then as you bring them together. We were the first people to actually bring this information together [with Operation Prefrontal Cortex].

It was actually around the time a rapper a lot of rappers were being killed the rapper Smoke Dawg was killed on Queen Street [in 2018]. That was the one after which I decided to go to the mayor with our information [Operation Prefrontal Cortex]. I sat down and decided to present something to him. And then when TEDxToronto asked me to speak, I really got in there and started to bring it all together.

No, but the thing was so clear. You know, from the middle school in San Francisco to the violent prison in Mexico, you see how these places are changed with the [Advance Peace meditation] program. You know, the environments were so extreme, the before and afters are so extreme. There was no real need to go and find something to double-check it.

I want Advance Peace [a charitable organization based in Richmond, Calif.] to come here. Advance Peace has a serious track record in the States. What they did in California, changing a city that had eight times the national average of gun crime down to a 40 per cent drop in one year, we need that here. What I care about is the violence in our city and it calming the f**k down. We need to look at places that have gotten results and do them. If thats what it takes, then thats what we should do. Because not only have they gotten results, say like in Sacramento, theyve saved that city $29.2 million because of the gun crimes they have been able to prevent.

Beyond even what we are talking about with Advance Peace, we need to be getting into these communities and helping kids that are already in trouble. You have to have a conversation, a very real conversation about whats going on. Why is the world shaping young people who feel murder is the way to settle the dispute? Whats going on? You have to really get serious about this because now theres no peeing section in a swimming pool, and you can only hold that back for so long, right? And now, the violence has spilled out into places where we all are.

It makes a lot of sense for what we got going on. Not every situation needs a cop. And when it comes to gun crime, we need to deal with prevention. Cops show up afterward and catch people. If its someone you love that has just been murdered, yeah, justice is nice, and thats important. But you would have much rather that the shooting never happened. And thats the program we are talking about that gets at prevention and stopping them as opposed to catching them.

The deputy mayor, Ive spoken to him about it. Hes seen the results, and he will present it to the city council on the 29th [of June]. And then well see where it all goes. But this is an approach that makes sense. It should be provincial. This should be how we tackle what we got going on in our city, in our province and across the board. This is a big deal: to begin to look at the young people and see their potential.

Samantha photographed with Hash. (courtesy: samantharuthprabhuoffl)

South star Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a few pictures from her meditation session on her Instagram profile on Tuesday. However, all eyes were on her pet dog Hash. The actress shared a few photographs, in which she can be seen sitting on a yoga mat along with her dog Hash. She captioned the post: "Today, I begin my 48 days of the isha kriya journey. I invite you to join me. Isha kriya brings health, prosperity and well-being. It is a powerful tool to cope and is meant to empower us to live life to our fullest potential. It is a free guided meditation. I wish you peace." Samantha's Instafam couldn't help but notice Hash's expressions in one of the pictures. "Hash is in deep meditation," wrote an Instagram user. "Hash hopping on the isha kriya journey too," added another. Aashritha Daggubati added a LOL emoji along with Hash's name.

Check out the post here:

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and her dog Hash make a great team and we couldn't agree more. The actress shares mushy posts with her pet pooch on Instagram and we have nothing but love for them. Samantha's quarantine posts described her and Hash as a "Quaranteam."

Samantha Prabhu Ruth is best-known for her performances in films such as Ye Maaya Chesave, Rangasthalam, Neethaane En Ponvasantham, Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and others. She had several releases last year, which included the Telugu film Majili (in which she co-starred with her husband Naga Chaitanya), Jaanu and Oh! Baby. She will next be seen in the Tamil film Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya, co-stars of films like Manam, Ye Maaya Chesave and Autonagar Surya, got married in 2017. The couple had two weddings - one in accordance with South India rituals preceded by a dreamy Christian wedding.

To say this year has created unusual workout situations is an understatement. But whether you're working in your living room, on the trails or maybe even back in the gym, one thing remains consistent: You need a pair of good headphones. No matter your activity of choice, the best workout headphones will stay in place while youre running around wont get ruined from a little sweat.

Wireless earbuds are popular for many types of workouts, from cycling to lifting weights, but there are a number of different options to consider within that category, as well as a few situations when you might prefer something else entirely.

Maybe you've got a special playlist or a coaching app on your phone, maybe you need to drown out the noise around you. Or maybe you're like me and like to use long runs as a chance to catch up on podcasts. Below, I've pulled together the right pair for every workout and preference, from earbuds for running to over-ear headphones for meditation.

JBL Live 300TWS Headphones

JBL Live 300TWS are fantastic running companions. These diminutive buds don't have any unsightly tails dangling from your ears or vestigial wire holding them together. They just fit in your ear, stabilized so that they don't pop out.The gesture controls can be fiddly at times, but once you get the hang of them, they're perfect for running, where you only have to poke at them for a second or two to change the volume, skip to the next track, answer a call (they work with your smart assistant), or, my favorite, activate Ambient Aware so that you can hear what's around you.

You'll get 20 hours of playback with the included charging case, they have IPX5 waterproofing for sweat and water so you don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain and their sound is crisp and clear. Plus, they come in some eye-catching colors other than black and white. If you're going to be spending hours running with a pair of earbuds, this is the set to get.

Apple AirPods Pro

It seems a little obvious, but there's good reason AirPods Pro nab this spot. If you have an Apple device, be it an iPhone or a Watch, AirPods Pro just work, no fussing with Bluetooth, no gritting your teeth as you try to reconnect them during the middle of your run.

AirPods Pro initiates pairing with your iPhone automatically when they're first activated and are then paired automatically with all your other devices. So if you leave the iPhone at home and just workout with your Apple Watch, you don't have to worry about making a fresh connection, just pop in your earbuds and start listening.

It also doesn't hurt that they have fantastic ANC, excellent sound, good battery life, and convenient features like auto-pause, a listening mode, and automatic reading of Messages. Plus, Apple continues to enhance them, with new spatial awareness coming later this year. The fact that the company continues to improve the AirPods Pro makes them a solid investment.

JBL Endurance Peak Headphones

I like the JBL Endurance Peak for working out at the gym (instead of the far off vistas their name conjures) for one simple reason: the Powerhook. These little loops fit around your ear and keep the earbuds stable no matter what you're doing. They're smart too, switching off automatically when you take them out and they snap back to their resting place.

The touch controls aren't quite as robust here as they are on the JBL Live, but I'm OK with that. I find I want a more basic earbud at the gym standing there fiddling with my earbuds to get them to do what I want just draws stares.

The Endurance Peak lasts for 28 hours (with charging case) and have IPX7 waterproofing. And at $79, you're not going to be worried about losing them. Not that you will, because it would take a barbell to the head to dislodge these suckers. They're the perfect gym companion.

Under Armour True Wireless Flash by JBL

JBL UA True Wireless Flash are waterproof, cord-free earbuds with soft Sport Flex Fit cushioning to keep them securely in your ears. Waterproof with an IPX7 rating, they're not only going to survive your sweatiest workout, but also when you get caught in a surprise downpour.

Each pod features a 5.8mm driver, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 5-hour battery. The included aluminum case can recharge the set up to 25 hours. UA Flash also features "Bionic Hearing" for TalkThru and Ambient Aware features. TalkThru lets you lower playback volume and enhance speech when you touch the left earbud. AmbientAware mode is activated with a double-tap and pipes in a bit of the background noise around you so stay aware of your surroundings.

The physical buttons on the earbuds make it easy to control playback when your hands are slick and activate your voice assistant. Especially for running, I've not found a more comfortable or more reliable pair of earbuds.

Sony WF-SP800N Headphones

These true-wireless Sony earbuds bring the digital noise cancellation and adaptive sound control of their other headphones to a smaller package. These don't have the onboard chip of the WH-1000XM3, but they still block out a good amount of sound. More importantly, they automatically adapt as your situation adapts. Rather than having to constantly take your earbuds in and out of your ears, the WF-SP800N will adjust the level of noise cancellation and allow you to hear what's going on around you, which is important for when you're working out in the city.

They're a little larger than other earbuds, but that also makes it easier to tap to activate the Quick Attention feature, which lets you instantly lower the volume and let ambient sound in without taking out your earbuds. The WF-SP800N will last 18 hours with the included charging case (or up to 26 hours if you don't use ANC) and have IP55 water resistance (so no swimming).

Back Bay Duet 50 Pro Headphones

The Back Bay Duet 50 Pro earbuds might only cost $50, but this pairs feature set and sound quality challenge every pair of headphones on this list. These diminutive earbuds have 8 hours of battery life per charge. Pop them in the included 2600 mAh case between sessions and you'll get up to 130 hours of life total less if you use the case to charge your phone (a handy extra that not many other manufacturers offer). They fit snugly in your ear and include six sizes of tips so that you can get a perfect fit.

Soundwise, they're impressively crisp for their size. I used them to stream the audio as I caught up on an oldAlienmovie and was astounded at how clearly I could hear the little atmospheric sound effects. Back Bay prides themselves on tuning their products to "American Hi-Fi sound" which basically means punchy bass and sharp high range tones with a neutral mid. The effort they've put in really shows.

They might not have all the tricks of more expensive earbuds, but for $49.99, they don't have to. These buds accomplish exactly what you need them to: provide excellent sound and a long battery life in a package you don't have to worry about losing.

Wicked Audio Arq Headphones

Wicked Audio's Arq wireless earbuds are small and comfortable I could wear them for hours and not even know they're there. The trade-off is that they're not waterproof. But if that's not a concern, these are worthy of your consideration. They turn on as as soon as they're taken out of the charging case, helpfully identifying themselves as left or right channel, a nice touch forgotten by other earbuds.

The one thing I didn't expect from Wicked Audio's Arq wireless earbuds was nuanced bass. But listening to "Cornelius Street" off of Tay-Tay'sLover, there it is. It's not a punch, not a "blat," but a pleasing "thump" as the bass beat kicks in and sets the tempo for Swift's latest bop. The case itself doubles as a powerbank, a helpful feature that more manufacturers should mimic.

Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones

Anyone who says meditation isn't a challenge hasn't tried to do it while the entire family is home for the summer, trying to entertain themselves as they're stuck in the house due to a pandemic. Meditation actually has enormous health and wellness benefits. (If you haven't had a chance to check out an app like Headspace, I highly recommend doing so.) But the problem remains, even if you're only doing it for 10 minutes a day, if those 10 minutes are filled with background noise, it's exceedingly hard to find your zen.

This task becomes considerably easier when you pop on a pair of the best active noise cancellation (ANC) headphones on the market. The Sony WH-1000XM3 are legendary for their ability to completely eliminate external noise. Sony has designed a special processor (the QN1) whose sole purpose is noise cancellation. Not only is it great at blocking out engine noise (important for travelers) but also conversation and background noise. The WH-1000XM3 are even smart enough to detect how your personal sonic profile changes when you're wearing glasses and adjusts accordingly.But all of the technical details fade into the background as soon as you put them on. You'll be so focused on how insanely quiet they make everything. The noise cancellation the Sony WH-1000XM3 delivers is without peer. It's like stepping off a busy street into a library. Speaking of, these headphones are smart enough to detect when you're walking or when you're commuting, and adjust the level of cancellation automatically. You can even use the app to set whether they focus on voices (so that you don't miss a PA announcement).

They're the most expensive headphones on this list at $349, but they're the best ANC headphones I've ever tried. Period. If you can't meditate with these babies on, then you can't meditate.

We find that our lives, more so in our current age, have become consumed by the pursuit of finances, and overwhelmed by technology. In times that are incredibly straining, both physically and mentally, it can be important to just take a moment, take a deep breath, and relax.

Many people forget the importance of introspective reflection, and by taking a minute, or an hour, to meditate every day, you can not only calm your mind but also boost your productivity and increase your threshold for stress.

It is more important now than ever to make use of the Eastern philosophies and doctrines which teach better mental clarity and a way to move forward without bearing the perpetual signs of stress and anxiety.

Whether you decide to subscribe to a specific doctrine or meditative practice, there are many ways. From the Taoist meditation of Tai Chi, originating in the mountains of China, to the Zen Buddhist sitting practice. Zen Buddhism originated from Chan, the Chinese word for stillness, somewhat over a thousand years ago.

Zen Buddhism focuses entirely on mental clarity and weighs heavily on the importance of being still and experiencing periods of nothingness in your life to make you more prone to solving stressful situations and resolving things you ordinarily wouldnt be able to due to high levels of stress.

More common to India and in Tibet is the practice of beaded meditation. By posturing correctly and in one hand gently thumbing through a bracelet of beads, you can gradually sink into a very deep introspective meditation. If you visit this site, there are different kinds of meditative beads that are a sure-fire and proven way to achieve introspection and the proverbial oneness. Beaded meditation is part of a style of meditation known as an active meditation. Active meditation is one of the most widespread practices in the world and its permutations permeate every philosophical doctrine in the Orient.

From walking meditation to the aforementioned Tai Chi, from Kung fu to Jujutsu, active meditation is very popular and still to this day highly practiced meditative praxis. Spoken highly in many Eastern philosophical religions, it has recently begun to permeate the West, hence we have seen a huge rise in those attending both Yoga classes and Tai Chi classes in America, England, and across Europe, and around the world. It is no surprise at times of such stress that we find ourselves turning inwards to address our problems.

This perhaps is the largest and most popular form of meditation, another that has permeated all of the Oriental philosophical doctrines. Sitting meditation was one of the first teachings of the Buddha, and is still carried on to this day, used by people from all walks of society. It can be hard to calm the mind, but to do so you must first persevere through the suffering you will experience. The suffering, whether mental or physical, is a sign of growth. By sitting completely still and opening yourself up to the world, mentally and physically, emptying your mind of thoughts, you will begin to suffer. You will notice pain, irritation, and an overwhelming sense of agitation and need to leave, but you must let it stay as it is and be. Eventually, the sensation will pass, you will feel as if you have no hands or feet and are floating.

This can take a while and many weeks or months, or even years of practice. By sitting through the suffering, you are conditioning your body and your mind to be more tolerant of potential problems or threats and will be better aided in dealing with stressful situations. The sitting meditation not only benefits you in stressful situations but will help bring order to a chaotic life and remove any chaotic inclinations you may have. Whether you suffer from a form of OCD or anxiety, sitting meditation can be greatly beneficial and has been proven by top psychologists and philosophers to have a strong positive effect on poor mental wellbeing. By sitting only for an hour a day, or even half an hour, you can greatly improve your life in ways you couldnt earlier imagine.

If you struggle very much with sitting still it could be a good thing for you to attend a meditation retreat or classes, or even consult a monk directly who can take on a role as master, and you as their disciple. By approaching a monk, you must be ready to adhere strictly to their doctrine, and also be wary of who you approach.

In recent years there has been a trend of pseudo-religious teachers asking for money in exchange for so-called enlightenment but these are no more than a cult. Consult your Buddhist or Taoist, or even Shinto societies locally, and ask them to put you in touch with a good Master.

Meditation Techniques to Calm the Mind - Flux Magazine

When I first heard about meditation, I think it was on some kind of early 80s sitcom, with people wearing unitards and scarves and chanting ohm as the laugh track blared. But, now meditation and mindfulness are getting serious attention. Data from the 2017 National Health Interview Survey found that U.S. adults use of meditation tripled between 2012 and 2017.

The National Institute of Health defines meditation as a mind and body practice that has a long history of use for increasing calmness and physical relaxation, improving psychological balance, coping with illness, and enhancing overall health and well-being. Research has shown that engaging in meditation practice has positive health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure, anxiety and depression, and insomnia.

If you are not sure where to start with meditation, the good news is, theres an app for that. The New York Times reports that the apps Headspace and Calm are great choices for people interested in starting a mindful meditation practice. The University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness points out that meditation apps can be useful self-care tools, but you certainly shouldnt rely on them in lieu of advice from a medical or mental health professional.
