To Reduce Stress In Your         Life be calm always -                    Vethathirum

“Chase them”, a little girl ran with wonderment. Hurray! I touched its wings”, bubbled a child’s sugary voice. “Oh God! it’s sitting on my palm”, jumped a boy with unbound excitement. The dusk had coloured the horizon with crimson, and the flying butterflies painted the spirits of a group of tiny tots with amazement, and as they danced to the beat of their tender hearts and to the magic of Nature.

The child in us grows, matures into an adult, and we chase what? What touches us? What things have a seat in our memory? What colours our lives? Life will appear to be a test of circumstances when the fabric of relationship, work, finance and other inevitable aspects are disturbed, instigating a STRESS reaction for the perceived or real challenge.

Let’s see what Stress does (from the lens of Medical Science)….. 

If we could trace back our memory of reacting to a stressful situation, the first frame which will reflect in our mind will be our palms and feet turning cold; this is chiefly because stress hormones causes our blood vessels in the periphery (palms & feet) to contract, temporarily diverting more blood from the non-essential organs to the vital organs like heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and to our muscles so we’ll have more strength to take action. During stress response we breathe faster, which is an involuntary act to quickly distribute oxygen-rich blood to the body. Our liver produces extra blood sugar (glucose) to give us a boost of energy to confront the challenge. To withstand the sudden pressure given to the body, our heart pumps faster to distribute blood to all parts.

“Your body is the most beautiful and sophisticated machinery” is what Vethathiri Maharishi said. He believed the intelligence of Human Body system is one of the greatest creations of Nature. Let’s take a quick peek into the control panel of our body:

Human body is naturally tuned to function in harmony, and when the same is disturbed, thousands of neural networks running throughout the system simply distribute large quantities of varied hormones and chemicals to support the body, with each cell working as a miniature factory to protect and counter anything that doesn’t nourish our soul. We care for so many external issues, but for the millions of cells in our body, “ALL THEY CARE IS ABOUT YOU AND ONLY YOU”.

With an emergence of stress, the Pituitary gland in our brain, signals the Adrenal glands (located on top of each kidney) to release Stress hormones: Adrenaline and Cortisol. When the perceived stress/fear is suspended, depending on the individual’s coping strategy, the Pituitary gland passes command to the system to get back to normal. If the coping mechanism is inadequate or inappropriate, the body loses complete balance, alarming the cellular arrangement of the organs. Our body tremors and the entire network of functions work too hard and too long to bring the body back to its normal functioning. Stress in thinking / perceiving / reacting, is the single capsuled toxin which affects the health of an individual.

Vethathiriyan Solution: 

With regular practice of meditation, the Pituitary Gland is stimulated and helps to balance the secretion of hormones, easing to offset the ill effects of stress. The tiny blood vessels in our brain are safeguarded against expansion through over-inflow of blood during stress. Meditation ensures the flow of bio magnetism to be smooth in quality and quantity. By this, our immunity level shoots up, breaking the cycle of tension to our nerves. When the vitality of the nerves is protected, nervous weakness and nervous breakdown is sidestepped, thereby the limbs that are looked after by them get strengthened and lack of sensation in that part of the anatomy is avoided.

Introspection and Silence attest to be the preventive and management techniques to combat stress. Introspection of our own thoughts will help in acknowledging the symptoms of stress and give the ability to alter the way we perceive a stressful event. With every episodic stress, we become so anxious about the problem and fail to notice its effect on our body and mind. Introspection lowers the impact of the stress; meditation and silence give the will power to sail against the currents of negative thoughts.

Practice of Relaxation and acupressure ensures balanced distribution of the vital energies in the body which calms the nerves and rejuvenates each and every cell to function optimally.
