jaya-hl asked: Hello, could you please suggest some mudras that can be performed by pregnant women and which is beneficial to them?

Apana Mudra is ideal during pregnancy. Apana Vayu helps in contractions in the pelvic region. The chances of normal delivery increases by practicing Apana Mudra. Apana mudra can be practiced for 10 minutes twice a day.

The pregnant lady must meditate for 15 minutes everyday. Hold Gyan mudra during that period. This will help in stabilizing the thoughts. The pregnant lady must reduce sensory inputs (soaps, news on TV) as this generates varying emotions which affect the development of fetus.

viibhas1982 asked: thank you very much for last answer. in addition to that question i again want to know whether there is any mudra for DUODENAL ULCER?

Mudras can only play the healing part. Prana Mudra will definitely help in recovery. I am reiterating that any ulcer in the digestive tract can only be cured by changing the diet. Buttermilk (extracted when cream is centrifuged to form butter) mixed with pinch of roasted cumin seeds helps in healing ulcers. Buttermilk must be consumed while having breakfast and lunch. Squash of Bel fruit again helps a lot. Buttermilk and Bel Squash are readily available in shops / stores in India. Other dietary recommendations are there in the previous post.

viibhas1982 asked: is there any mudra treatment for varicocele (a problem relating to varicose veins) and peptic ulcer respectively?

There is no specific mudra for both the conditions. Peptic ulcer is a result of hyperacidity. The condition can only be relieved by changing the diet. Varicose Vein is again caused by some dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle. I have picked extracts from a book on diet for curing most of the diseases. Here it is for Peptic ulcers and varicose veins

Peptic ulcers

Diet is of utmost importance in the treatment of ulcer. The diet should be so arranged as to provide adequate nutrition to afford rest to the disturbed organs, to maintain continuous neutralisation of the gastric acid, to inhibit production of acid and to reduce mechanical and chemical irritation. Milk, cream, butter, fruits, and fresh, raw and boiled vegetables, natural foods and natural vitamin supplements are the best diet for an ulcer patient.

The most effective remedy for peptic ulcers is bananas. They are said to contain an unidentified compound called, perhaps jokingly, vitamin U (against ulcers). Bananas neutralizes the overacidity of the gastric juices and reduces the irritation of the ulcer by quoting the lining of the stomach.

Almond milk made from blanched almonds in a blender is very beneficial as it binds the excess of acid in the stomach and supplies high quality proteins. Raw goat’s milk is also highly beneficial. It actually helps to heal peptic ulcer.

Cabbage is regarded as another useful home remedy for peptic ulcers. Cabbage is boiled in water. This water is allowed to cool and taken twice daily.

Varicose Veins

About 75 per cent of the diet should consist of raw vegetables and fruits. All condiments , alcoholic drinks, coffee, strong tea, white flour products, white sugar, and white sugar products should be strictly avoided. A short fast or the all-fruit diet for two or three days may be undertaken every month, depending on the progress.

Raw vegetables juices, especially carrot juice in combination with spinach juice, have proved highly beneficial in the treatment of varicose veins. The formula proportion considered helpful in this combination are carrot 300 ml.and spinach 200 ml to prepare 500 ml of juice.

Certain nutrients, especially vitamin E and C have also been found effective in the treatment of this disease. The patient should take vitamin C in a therapeutic dose upto 3,000 mg. and Vitamin E in therapeutic doses from 600 to 1200 I.U. daily. This will relieve him of pain and leg cramps associated with varicose veins.

Quote
"The body is strained by practices.
The tongue tires of scripture.
The mind numbs with meditation.
Detached from all this,
I live as I am"

Transformation

A mind which is desirous of a future transformation or looks to transformation as an ultimate end, can never find truth, for truth is a thing that must come from moment to moment, must be discovered anew; there can be no discovery through accumulation. How can you discover the new if you have the burden of the old? It is only with the cessation of that burden that you discover the new.

To discover the new, the eternal, in the present, from moment to moment, one needs an extraordinarily alert mind, a mind that is not seeking a result, a mind that is not becoming. A mind that is becoming can never know the full bliss of contentment; not the contentment of smug satisfaction; not the contentment of an achieved result, but the contentment that comes when the mind sees the truth in what is and the false in what is. The perception of that truth is from moment to moment; and that perception is delayed through verbalization of the moment.
