Human Health

Continued--If any person is in sick bed or incapacitated temporarily or for a long time to undertake any physical or yoga practices is there any other way to act to complement the treatment. During illness or incapacitated period, mental agony even surpasses the physical pain. For the benefit of mankind Indian yoga has provided alternative means to such sick person to do some practices even on bed and get the best help from the universe. It is hand mudra ( this word ordinarily means lock )which is not only simple, easy doing and without any training and any person can do it by consulting any book or the same may be downloaded and printed from the net. Unfortunately those who have lost their fingers in the hand can not undertake such mudra. Mental development comes best from what is known as Meditation which is indeed a difficult task to perform. To shut the eyes and concentrate on the mind constitute meditation. Closing of eyes is so easy to do but concentrate on mind is its most difficult part. It is a common experience that mind flies away every now and then and hardly becomes stationary in consequence of which many works suffer. There being no given formula to control the mind, the only way to allow it to roam in an area about which the thinker is fond of. Start from this  point by regular practice the mind will leave to and fro movement and becomes steady. When it reaches that stage beg from the universe power/energy from its unending stock and there is nothing to mistrust that the universe will deny it. This can not be obtained in a day or two and continued practice day after day will one day make you feel that you have received the desired thing.
