Majority of the people are under the impression that meditation means some form of concentration or mind stilling exercise. While it’s true to a certain extent, meditation is far from being a technique. A person with the right attitude need not even sit for meditation. He may be meditating without even him realizing it.
Do you…
Get irritated when someone disturbs you while meditating?
Get frustrated when sudden change in plans disrupt your weekend outing?
Get frustrated when your boss/spouse calls you in the middle of your work?
Find it difficult to take a different route to your office or your morning walk?
If your answer is yes to any of the above, then you are not meditating. Real meditation/enlightenment means detachment, non-involvement, FREEDOM. Freedom from your mind, your ego. This is the real essence of meditation. Not sitting for hours together, concentrating or chanting. On other hand, your sitting and chanting may in fact be preventing you from experiencing real freedom! You may be attached/bound to the ritual of sitting and chanting!
I have seen some people sitting for 4-5 hours a day meditating. However, they never seem to have the kind of peace that they should be experiencing. Even the slightest disturbance causes some resistance in them, when meditation in fact means non-resistance. The very reason one resists something is because he has a desire to experience something else. He is attached to that something else.
Recently my grandmother hired a cook for a week due to some function in their house. After the function, my grandmother told us how wonderful the cook was. She used to get up everyday at 4.30 am, do Yoga/Pranayama and then cook for everyone, breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner (over 15 people). She always had a smile on her face. No matter what you tell her to do, she would oblige happily. Once my uncle felt hungry at 11 pm and she apparently heard him saying it. She immediately woke up from her sleep and prepared something for him, without any resistance or hesitation. You know her age? 70 years! And so much energy. Now that is meditation.

This is something very disturbing…
A chemical widely used in plastic products, including baby bottles, plastic food and drink containers could increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes, suggests a new research.
According to the study, higher levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in the urine is linked with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and liver-enzyme abnormalities.
BPA is one of the world’s highest production-volume chemicals, and is used in plastics in many consumer products.
“Widespread and continuous exposure to BPA, primarily through food but also through drinking water, dental sealants, dermal exposure, and inhalation of household dusts, is evident from the presence of detectable levels of BPA in more than 90 percent of the U.S. population,” wrote the authors.
Chemical used in plastic bottles can cause heart disease, diabetes
I guess I’ll immediately have to find an alternative to my son’s water bottle that he carries to school!

First, the article from http://www.watercure.com…
I am a researcher. I have researched dehydration for the past 20 years. When I discovered that the solution to most of the disease conditions of our society is not a money maker, I decided to take my information to the public.
My research revealed that unintentional dehydration produces stress, chronic pains and many degenerative diseases. Dry mouth is not the only sign of dehydration and waiting to get thirsty is wrong. Medicine has based its understanding that it is solid matter in the body that regulates all functions of the body. I have explained scientifically at the molecular level that it is water that regulates all functions of the body including functions of solid matter. 75 % of our bodies are composed of water. The brain is 85% water. It is water that energizes and activates the solid matter. If you don’t take enough water, some functions of the body will suffer. Dehydration produces system disturbances. When I use the word water cure, I am referring to curing dehydration with water.
Fereydoon Batmanghelidj, M.D.
Now a couple of comments from other sources.
He is arguing for a new scientific approach that turns clinical medicine on its head.
Daily Mail, London, UK
Dr.Batmanghelidj is a highly respected ‘founding father’ as far as information on the importance of water is concerned and his books describe in technically detailed, yet simple to understand language how dehydration affects the physiological process leading to the logical manifestation of symptoms, which are, in fact, simply the warning lights of dehydration displayed in various bodily areas.
Positive Health, UK
I came across this interesting article and comments, and thought I will share it with you all. It tends to simplify health by implying that the main deficiency is ill-health is water, and the doctor wants us to get to drink W A T E R.
I am not disputing some of the basic facts. Body does consist of 75% water, so dehydration should have deleterious effect on the body. But is hydration and perhaps over hydration a cure all? I do not think so. I will elaborate with real life examples.
We know that in Europe and to a certain extent all over the northern hemisphere, the last two summers have been excessively hot. Look at heat exposure and resultant deaths from high temperatures. In India, it is a fairly common occurrence. Last year in France, and to a lesser extent this year, many people, particularly the senior citizens died because of overexposure to heat. If you treat the resultant dehydration with water only, you will not cure the problem or prevent death. This is because there is not only loss of water and dehydration to contend with, but also salt depletion. If you blindly rehydrate with water, you will enhance the salt depletion effects at the cell level and increase the disfunctionality of the cells of the body. People who work outdoors in hot countries, should supplement not only with water but also with salt.
Another example is water depletion from diarrhea. It is quite obvious that there is net water loss from the body. It is obvious to the simplest of mothers that her child needs water. But, in medicine, we recommend replacement with water and salts. There are various formulations available which basically simulate the water and electrolyte content of the body. Again, mere water replacement to combat dehydration is not the answer and may be counter productive. Also trying to treat a diarrhea with salt and water replacement may not work, if we do not try and kill the germs that caused it in the first place. so in selected patients we give an appropriate antibiotic or antihelminthic.
Look at an uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetic. He/she is surely dehydrated, but there is a tremendous salt loss also. Unlike the heat stroke salt depletion, this one is more of potassium salt depletion and has to be dealt with accordingly. And with all that treatment we would be negligent if we did not treat the underlying diabetes with Insulin.
I could recite many examples from medicine where the depletion is mainly of other nutrients, sometimes exclusively or sometimes with dehydration. Aren’t a lot of people taking replacement vitamins for health? Or replacement vitamins and minerals? Isn’t “pernicious anaemia” essentially a Vitamin B12 depletion/absence problem and nothing to do with water dehydration?
My conclusion is this. The body consists of 75% water and needs to be constantly rehydrated for good health. But it also consists of 25% other elements and molecules, and in general, these other molecules and the nutrition that nurtures these is even more necessary. These are available from various foods we imbibe. You need good nutrition to stay healthy. Water is merely a part of that nutrition. Because we happen to have water in plenty around us, we should not ignore the fact that it is necessary for survival and for good health. In other words, we should not take rehydration as granted, but should be consciously aware of the need to rehydrate, as a part of the nutritional process.

It is the greatest fully explained puzzle of modern society, that the more affluent you are the more likely you will be longing for the basics. Relishing life is not just surrounding yourself with material possessions. Pick up any newspaper, travel brochure, or description of a remote place and you will often find words to entice you to share the luxury of “nature”. The advertisement for a lovely home is not complete without the pictures of the view you get from the property. Yet take this aspect of relishing life a bit further and you will see that you are very willing to fork out substantial amount of money to abandon this million dollar home and trade it for a week or two in a small cottage in wilderness, where you can have long walks (abandoning your luxury car), climb hills and mountains (no vehicles or horses to take you up there). There is danger but also excitement. You are relishing life.
For the poor, there is the beautiful park in the city filled with plants, flowers and fountains, all cared for and paid for from the taxes paid by the affluent in the neighbourhood, who by and large refuse to go to these parks and prefer the nature “getaway”. Yet these poor folks are really rich because they are relishing life.
As I said at the start, it is no puzzle. We all know the calming effect of nature and nature’s beauty on the mind and know that it relieves stress. The question we have to ask ourselves is “How often do we take advantage of this knowledge?” How often are we really relishing life?
Whether you are a Dutchman coming home with a bunch of tulips or an Indian bringing a garland of flowers home with you, the feeling of contentment and peace is the same. In our thinking, diamonds and flowers stand equal contenders in romance. A wet tumultuous ride in a canoe give the same contentment as a peaceful cruise in a 5 star “Love Boat”. You are relishing life!
Look at the sunset or look at a mountain, but what you are admiring is God’s creation. Some people want to drown themselves in a lot of exotic food or think that drinking vintage wine is relishing life. But equal chance at relishing life comes out drinking the pure waters of a mountain stream and eating the fruit from a nearby tree.
The internal feeling peace and tranquility is far superior to joy of material possessions.
You are truly relishing life when you go to a garden that gives you the opportunity to surround yourself in nature. If you live in a large city, you can explore a quiet park or take a trip to a nearby lake or forest to relish life.
To make relishing life from these simple back to nature efforts, you need very little clothing and other paraphernalia. A bit of loose clothing appropriate for weather conditions and a good pair of shoes and you are in the business of relishing life.. The ultimate pleasure, the ultimate way of relishing life is to surround yourself with nature and meditate.
