BILAHARI - The Raga that May help manage Anxiety  

 

💟A study found that Carnatic Raga Bilahari has significant effect in reducing Anxiety. Also helpful in somatic presentation. Listening to this Raga may improve the sleep quality for the suffering lot. This raga is a long distance friend for  the mental health caregivers who need much of recharging themselves. Mental health of caregivers is often neglected because the person in focus is at the core of healing process. So if you are already on some medication , listen to music therapy along with the continuity of adhering to the medicine schedule.

Why Mistakes may be Good?

 

Why Mistakes may be Good?

Perfectionists are scared of making mistakes. They can do a lot better if they learn to be little forgiving of themselves. On the other end, lazy people rather lose many things than learn to overcome them. Mistakes are a part of tough learning in life. It is important to acknowledge making them in the first place and then, leave them behind, laugh over them and ultimately learn from them. It is definitely not fun to make similar mistakes over and over again. It indicates that one is not learning enough from their own   experiences. So if making mistakes is not bad, then how to handle them is the obvious thought in progress.  A simple ABC sequence of events if,   followed can really help us to discover ourselves in light.

1.       Apologize, accept,   acknowledge and be aware of the mistake. Be accepting of the mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. I mean EVERYONE. Otherwise why would  there be so many things going  wrong with our beautiful world (terrorists, heartbreakers, sweet makers, etc)

 

2.       Behave after you have made a mistake. Behave gently. Be easy on yourself. Remember people who care for you, would not leave/ disown/abandon you, forever. Immediate reactions to a mistake may sometimes be sharp depending upon the gravity of the mistake.

 

 

3.       Correct the mistakes from happening again. Most importantly one should not give up hope of change. Mistakes can be corrected by actually taking concrete steps to eliminate them. For instance, if one is always wearing their heart on the sleeve and getting hurt repeatedly, it is better to keep the heart in locker for some time. Take your time to plan and work out your plan. If one plan fails, make another and so on. But nothing works like spirit. Lose it and you will lose everything. It is this unique human ability to learn,   build up and make up on your mistake that will make YOU.

 

Albert Einstein said it best when he said,   “show me a person who has not made mistakes   and I will show you a person who has not tried.” So chill out   and go enjoy your life responsibly. It is ok to make mistakes. You are still lovable and your loved ones will still forgive you.  Move on with life.

A story of Holding onto Hope of Good times.


 Story - Jhansi 
Jhansi was born in a well to do family with all basics needs and little luxuries well provided for. Her parents were courteous to relatives and helpful to those around them. Jhansi grew up to be a Veterinary Doctor with great compassion for animals, which extended to her having compassion for all in general. Her parents had found an alliance for marriage wherein the boy was a high official in the Government sector. It was romance made in heaven for the couple. They had kids and when things were going great in all aspects of life, a challenge at workplace put Jhansi’s husband on a legal battle. This is when the inner strength of Jhansi came forward. She held her family together, cried when no one could see or her. Wiped her tears and served the best to the family in all possible ways. Her parents were of immense emotional and financial help. Jhansi had a great faith in the good deeds of her husband. During the enquiry and trials, Jhansi stayed immensely positive, fought with her own insecurities to float alive. Her major strength used to come from praying and waiting for things to change at their own pace. Jhansi was jovial through the phase, holding on to hope, as she prayed hard to be free from the tough times at hand. She tried to establish as much peace in the family as possible by hiring enough staff as were there before the trial had started so that the kids are least disturbed by the unprecedented change. 
Jhansi was compassionate and loving towards all. She loved her friends with authority. Jhansi was always generous and large hearted to spend in spite of the salary constraints due to the trial.  She was also well mannered and modest about her ability to keep calm and be sportive wherever it demanded. Jhansi could be seen taking part in community activities too. She wore the good clothes she had in great collection. She never gave pitiable vibes and looked happy still. Jhansi held unwavering steady determination to support her husband. Then one day exactly after a year, her husband’s efforts to present his case appropriately got them free of charges.
Learning: Our nature determines what we evoke from the Universe goodness or despair.
Mode of goodness can be achieved by practicing few qualities of gaining positive knowledge, ability to pray and hold on thus, being truthful, free from anger, ability to know when to give up as well as when to let go.  Actions which ensure peace establishing rather than peace disrupting are always in the mode of goodness.
The fortitude to believe that no evil can befall on someone intrinsically good and keep on doing whatever duties one is supposed to do in daily course of action are great help. 

Under crisis, one should not act under the passion of honor and resort to life taking measures. Instead one should believe with utmost patience that positive turn of events in the form of change is a possibility.
