An extensive view of finding solutions to cure the sickness of human kind lye in the concept of vedic assertion that what a human suffers from is directed to his physical being through the instrumentally of mind-utterance-deeds trio (Mansa, Vaacha, karmani), So true Meena jee, as when one thinks negatively and utters in discordance of natural human behavior and intent to do unethical or bad deeds this is all gets registered in the psych (sub-conscious mind) of the person. Accordingly the psych of the person turns into an arrogant, haughty, miser, jealous, egoistic, greedy (promptness to adopt corrupt practices make him) and a sinner. So one can very well presume that any one of these or all of these negative traits may invite someone with severest of illnesses in his physical being (body). Thus for perfect cure from one's illness, one has to seek for a true Atma Gyani (man of wisdom) for detoxification of his karmic reflection in the form of illness through psycho therapy and meditation in addition to conventional Herbal/ Ayurbedic/Homeopathic/allopathic medication.

In fact in isolation in the form of part treatment without considering body and mind in unison, no disease can find its perfect cure.

Comprehensive programs to enliven the body's

own inner intelligence to prevent disease and promote good health.

An introduction to programs offered through

Maharishi Medical Centers throughout America

Maharishi Vedic Approach To Health Consultations

Program for Individuals with Chronic Disorders

Maharishi Rasayana Program

The Maharishi Rejuvenation Program

What is the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health?

The Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health utilizes the complete knowledge of Natural Law available in the 40 aspects of Veda and the Vedic Literature -- the 40 qualities of Natural Law -- which have recently been discovered as the basis of the 40 aspects of human physiology (1994).

This remarkable discovery by Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., has been achieved on the basis of more than 300 years of scientific research in physiology and 37 years of discoveries in the field of Consciousness by Maharishi. This discovery demonstrates that the total potential of Natural Law is available to everyone as the inner intelligence of their own body. The Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health programs aim at utilizing this inner intelligence -- the intelligence of Natural Law -- to enliven the body's own self-repair and balancing mechanisms, and to promote good health. As a result, thought, behavior, tastes, and tendencies become more integrated and balanced, and spontaneously move in harmony with Natural Law, which is the basis of good health.

These programs are now available as part of a global campaign to create a disease-free society.

Maharishi Vedic Approach To Health Consultations

It is recommended that Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health consultations be taken seasonally or at least twice a year. During these consultations, the physician will confer with an expert in the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health.

The purpose of the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health program consultation is to allow the physician to determine any imbalances in the system. The physician then makes recommendations based on the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health program to enliven the inner intelligence of the body and help restore balance to the system. Recommendations may be given for diet, daily routine, and herbal supplements, including the Veda herb program. These consultations also serve as the first step in two new programs in the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health: the program for individuals with chronic disorders and the Maharishi Rasayana ProgramSM.

Programs For Individuals With Chronic Disorders

Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health offers to re-establish balance between the body and its own inner intelligence through Vedic knowledge and its application. Based on this knowledge, Maharishi Medical Centers will offer comprehensive new programs for individuals with chronic disorders.

To participate in the Program for Individuals with Chronic Disorders, applicants complete a specially designed questionnaire related specifically to their health concern. The information on the completed questionnaire will be evaluated by a physician who will consult with an expert in the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health. The physician will then design an individually tailored program during a personal consultation with the client.

The initial phase of this program will focus primarily on the following chronic conditions:

coronary heart disease

hypertension

chronic bronchitis

bronchial asthma

chronic sinusitis

chronic headache

rheumatoid arthritis

osteoarthritis

chronic fatigue

chronic back pain

diabetes (non-insulin dep.)

overweight

chronic allergies

psoriasis

eczema

vitiligo (leucoderma)

acne

chronic kidney disease

benign prostate hypertrophy

chronic liver disease

hyperacidity

peptic ulcer

irritable bowel syndrome

inflammatory bowel disease

chronic constipation

hemorrhoids

menstrual problems

menopausal syndrome

depression

chronic anxiety

insomnia

connective tissue diseases

hypo- and hyperthyroidism

Alzheimer's disease

Parkinson's disease

multiple sclerosis

gallstones

Maharishi Rasayana Program

The Maharishi Rasayana Program is for prevention, rejuvenation, and holistic well-being of mind and body. It is for healthy people or those who have only minor health problems.

The Maharishi Rasayana Program makes use of the different aspects of Maharishi's Vedic Science to allow participants to discover the Veda (Natural Law) in their own physiology. The Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health recommends a complete rejuvenation program once a year for at least 40 days. The goal of the program is to enable life to progress in its full glory towards enlightenment, without accumulation of the imbalances that express themselves as disease and aging. The Maharishi Rasayana Program will be offered in blocks of 40, 30, 20, and 10 days.

This ancient technology is being introduced to the world at this time based on the descriptions of the benefits that appear in the Veda and Vedic Literature. These include:

youthfulness

intelligence and creativity

life in accordance with Natural Law

improved functioning of sensory

and motor organs

brilliance and luster of complexion

brilliance of voice

charming looks and popularity

vitality, honor, fame

experience of bliss

strengthening of the immune system

accelerated recovery from mental and physical disorders

freedom from fear of old age

The Maharishi Rejuvenation Program

The Maharishi Rejuvenation program aims at eliminating accumulated impurities in the physiology and restoring balance before any imbalance manifests as disease. Impurities accumulate in the body from stress and strain, unhealthy diet and behavior, aging, environmental pollution and other factors. These impurities prevent the free flow of intelligence in the physiology; hinder proper digestion, and obstruct the channels of circulation and communication in the body.

The Maharishi Rejuvenation program gently and effectively cleanses the body of accumulated toxins and helps restore balance and integrated functioning to the whole physiology, thereby promoting vitality, long life, and the prevention of disease. Initial scientific research on this program has shown improved cardiovascular functioning, improved appetite and digestion, increased vitality, increased stamina and improved mental clarity.

IMaharishi Vedic Approach to Health consultations are available at most Maharishi Medical Center Locations

Staying healthy and feeling your best is important at any age and that doesn’t change just because you have a few more grey hairs. As we grow older, we experience an increasing number of major life changes, including career changes and retirement, children leaving home, the loss of loved ones, and physical changes. How we handle and grow from these changes is the key to staying healthy. These tips can help you maintain your physical and emotional health and live life to the fullest, whatever your age.

Finding and following your formula for staying healthy over 50

Coping with change is difficult, no matter how old you are. The particular challenge for adults over 50 is the sheer number of changes and transitions that start to occur—including children moving away, the loss of parents, friends, and other loved ones, changes to or the end of your career, declining health, and even loss of independence. It’s natural to feel those losses. But if that sense of loss is balanced with positive ingredients, you have a formula for staying healthy as you age.

Healthy aging means continually reinventing yourself as you pass through landmark ages such as 60, 70, 80 and beyond. It means finding new things you enjoy, learning to adapt to change, staying physically and socially active, and feeling connected to your community and loved ones. Unfortunately, for many, aging brings anxiety and fear instead. How will I take care of myself late in life? What if I lose my spouse? What is going to happen to my mind? However, many of these fears stem from myths about aging that are exaggerated by the media or simply untrue. The truth is that you are stronger and more resilient than you may think.

Myths About Healthy Aging

MYTH: Aging means declining health and/or disability.

Fact: There are some diseases that become more common as we age. However, getting older does not automatically mean poor health or that you will be confined to a walker or wheelchair. Plenty of older adults enjoy vigorous health, often better than many younger people. Preventive measures like healthy eating, exercising, and managing stress can help reduce the risk of chronic disease or injuries later in life.

MYTH: Memory loss is an inevitable part of aging.

Fact: As you age, you may eventually notice you don’t remember things as easily as in the past, or memories may start to take a little longer to retrieve. However, significant memory loss is not an inevitable result of aging. Brain training and new learning can occur at any age and there are many things you can do to keep your memory sharp. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll reap the benefits.

MYTH: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Fact: One of the more damaging myths of aging is that after a certain age, you just won’t be able to try anything new or contribute things anymore. The opposite is true. Middle aged and older adults are just as capable of learning new things and thriving in new environments, plus they have the wisdom that comes with life experience. If you believe in and have confidence in yourself, you are setting up a positive environment for change no matter what your age.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for coping with change

As you age beyond 50, there will be periods of both joy and stress. It’s important to build your resilience and find healthy ways to cope with challenges. This ability will help you make the most of the good times and keep your perspective when times are tough.

§               Focus on the things you’re grateful for. The longer you live, the more you lose. But as you lose people and things, life becomes even more precious. When you stop taking things for granted, you appreciate and enjoy what you have even more.

§               Acknowledge and express your feelings. You may have a hard time showing emotions, perhaps feeling that such a display is inappropriate and weak. But burying your feelings can lead to anger, resentment, and depression. Don’t deny what you’re going through. Find healthy ways to process your feelings, perhaps by talking with a close friend or writing in a journal.

§               Accept the things you can’t change. Many things in life are beyond our control. Rather than stressing out over them, focus on the things you can control such as the way you choose to react to problems. Face your limitations with dignity and a healthy dose of humor.

§               Look for the silver lining. As the saying goes, “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” When facing major challenges, try to look at them as opportunities for personal growth. If your own poor choices contributed to a stressful situation, reflect on them and learn from your mistakes.

§               Take daily action to deal with life’s challenges. When a challenge seems too big to handle, sweeping it under the carpet often appears the easiest option. But ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away; it allows both the problem and your anxiety to build. Instead, take things one small step at a time. Even a small step can go a long way to boosting your confidence and reminding you that you are not powerless.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for finding meaning and joy

A key ingredient in the recipe for healthy aging over 50 is the continuing ability to find meaning and joy in life. As you age, your life will change and you will gradually lose things that previously occupied your time and gave your life purpose. For example, your job may change, you may eventually retire from your career, your children may leave home, or other friends and family may move far away. But this is not a time to stop moving forward. Later life can be a time of exciting new adventures if you let it.

Staying healthy over 50 means finding activities that you enjoy

Everyone has different ways of experiencing meaning and joy, and the activities you enjoy may change over time. If your career slows down or you retire, or if your children leave home, you may find you have more time to enjoy activities outside of work and immediate family. Either way, taking time to nourish your spirit is never wasted.

If you’re not sure where to get started, try some of the following suggestions:

§               Pick up a long-neglected hobby or try a new hobby

§               Play with your grandkids, nieces, nephews, or a favorite pet

§               Learn something new (an instrument, a foreign language, a new game)

§               Get involved in your community (volunteer or attend a local event)

§               Take a class or join a club

§               Travel somewhere new or go on a weekend trip to a place you’ve never visited

§               Spend time in nature (take a scenic hike, go fishing or camping, enjoy a ski trip)

§               Enjoy the arts (visit a museum, go to a concert or a play)

§               Write your memoirs or a play about your life experiences

The possibilities are endless. The important thing is to find activities that are both meaningful and enjoyable for you.

Staying healthy through humor, laughter, and play

Laughter is strong medicine for both the body and the mind. It helps you stay balanced, energetic, joyful, and healthy at any age. A sense of humor helps you get through tough times, look outside yourself, laugh at the absurdities of life, and transcend difficulties.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for staying connected

One of the greatest challenges of aging is how your support network changes. Staying connected isn’t always easy as you grow older—even for those who have always had an active social life. Career changes, retirement, illness, death, and moves out of the local area can take away close friends and family members. And the older you get, the more people you inevitably lose. In later life, getting around may become difficult for either you or members of your social network.

It’s important to find ways to reach out and connect to others, regardless of whether or not you live with a spouse or partner. Having an array of people you can turn to for company and support as you age is a buffer against loneliness, depression, disability, hardship, and loss.

The good news is that there are lots of ways to be with other people. It doesn’t matter what you do, so long as you get out of the house (if possible) and socialize:

§               Connect regularly with friends and family. Spend time with people you enjoy and who make you feel upbeat. It may be a neighbor who you like to exercise with, a lunch date with an old friend, or shopping with your children. Even if you are not close by, call or email frequently to keep relationships fresh.

§               Make an effort to make new friends. As you lose people in your circle, it is vital to make new connections so your circle doesn’t dwindle. Make it a point to befriend people who are younger than you. Younger friends can reenergize you and help you see life from a fresh perspective.

§               Spend time with at least one person every day. Whatever your living or work situation, you shouldn’t be alone day after day. Phone or email contact is not a replacement for spending time with other people. Regular face-to-face contact helps you ward off depression and stay positive.

§               Volunteer. Giving back to the community is a wonderful way to strengthen social bonds and meet others, and the meaning and purpose you find in helping others will enrich and expand your life. Volunteering is a natural way to meet others interested in similar activities or who share similar values. Even if your monbility becomes limited, you can get involved by volunteering on the phone.

§               Find support groups in times of change. If you or a loved one is coping with a serious illness or recent loss, it can be very helpful to participate in a support group with others undergoing the same challenges.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for boosting vitality

Don’t fall for the myth that growing older automatically means you’re not going to feel good anymore. It is true that aging involves physical changes, but it doesn’t have to mean discomfort and disability. While not all illness or pain is avoidable, many of the physical challenges associated with aging can be overcome or drastically mitigated by eating right, exercising, and taking care of yourself.

It’s never too late to start! No matter how old you are or how unhealthy you’ve been in the past, caring for your body has enormous benefits that will help you stay active, sharpen your memory, boost your immune system, manage health problems, and increase your energy. In fact, many older adults report feeling better than ever because they are making more of an effort to be healthy than they did when they were younger.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for eating well as you age

As you age, your relationship to food may change along with your body. A decreased metabolism, changes in taste and smell, and slower digestion may affect your appetite, the foods you can eat, and how your body processes food. The key is to figure out how to adapt to your changing needs. Now, more than ever, healthy eating is important to maintain your energy and health.

§               Load up on high-fiber fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Your whole digestive system does slow as you age, so fiber is very important. Consume fiber-rich foods such as whole grains, fruit, and vegetables. They will help you feel more energetic and give you fuel to keep going.

§               Put effort into making your food look and taste good. Your taste buds may not be as strong and your appetite may not be the same, but your nutritional needs are just as important as ever. If you don’t enjoy eating like you used to, put a little more effort into your meals, including the way you flavor, prepare, and present your food.

§               Watch out for dehydration. Because of physical changes, older adults are more prone to dehydration. So make sure you are drinking plenty of fluid, even if you don’t feel thirsty. If you’re not getting enough water, you’re not going to be as sharp and your energy will suffer.

§               Make meals a social event. It’s more enjoyable to eat with others than alone. If you live alone, invite other people over. It’s a great way to stay in touch with friends and you can share cooking and cleanup duties.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for exercising as you age

Many adults don’t exercise as they get older. However, exercise is vital for staying healthy throughout life. It helps you maintain your strength and agility, gives your mental health a boost, and can even help diminish chronic pain. Whether you are generally healthy or are coping with an ongoing injury, disability, or health problem, regular exercise will help you stay physically and mentally healthy and improve your confidence and outlook on life.

§               Check with your doctor before starting any exercise program. Find out if any health conditions or medications you take affect what exercise you should choose.

§               Find an activity you like and that motivates you to continue. You may want to exercise in a group, like in a sport or class, or prefer a more individual exercise like swimming.

§               Start slow. If you are new to exercise, a few minutes a day puts you well on the way towards building a healthy habit. Slowly increase the time and intensity to avoid injury.

§               Walking is a wonderful way to start exercising. Exercise doesn’t have to mean strenuous activity or time at the gym. In fact, walking is one of the best ways to stay fit. Best of all, it doesn’t require any equipment or experience and you can do it anywhere.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for sleeping well as you age

Many adults complain of sleep problems as they age, including insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and frequent waking during the night. But getting older doesn’t automatically bring sleep problems. Poor sleep habits are often the main causes of low–quality sleep in adults over 50.

§               Naturally boost your melatonin levels at night. Artificial lights at night can suppress your body’s production of melatonin, the hormone that makes you sleepy. Use low-wattage bulbs where safe to do so, and turn off the TV and computer at least one hour before bed.

§               Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, and cool, and your bed is comfortable. Noise, light, and heat can interfere with sleep. Try using an eye mask to help block out light.

§               Develop bedtime rituals. A soothing ritual, like taking a bath or playing music will help you wind down.

§               Go to bed earlier. Adjust your bedtime to match when you feel tired, even if that’s earlier than it used to be.

Staying healthy over 50: Tips for keeping your mind sharp

There are many good reasons for keeping your brain as active as your body. Keeping your brain active and maintaining creativity actually may help to prevent cognitive decline and memory problems. The more you use and sharpen your brain, the more benefits you will get. This is especially true if your career no longer challenges you or if you've retired from work altogether.

§               Try variations on what you know. For some people, it might be games. Other people may enjoy puzzles or trying out new cooking recipes. Find something that you enjoy and continue to try new variations and challenges. If you like crosswords, move to a more challenging crossword series or try your hand at a new word game. If you like to cook, try a completely different type of food, or try baking if you’ve mostly been cooking over the stove.

§               Work something new in each day. You don’t have to work elaborate crosswords or puzzles to keep your memory sharp. Try to work in something new each day, whether it is taking a different route to work or the grocery store or brushing your teeth with a different hand.

§               Take on a completely new subject. Taking on a new subject is a great way to continue to learn. Have you always wanted to learn a different language? Learn new computer skills? Learn to play golf? There are many inexpensive classes at community centers or community colleges that allow you to tackle new subjects. Volunteering is also a great way to learn about a new area. Taking classes and volunteering is a great way to boost social connections, which is another brain strengthener.
