Crystal Pyramids (Relationship pyramids)

Crystal Pyramids or as we often call them relationship pyramids are highly useful to mentain healthy relationship among two or more people. It simply generates a positive energy sphere around the person wearing it and prevents his/her mind from getting stressed or receiving negative thoughts as these are the two reasons which first effect the thought process of an individual and then his/her behaviour in a relationship. They are available in couplets, triplets, quadraplets and pentaplets for relationship or family purpose and co- relates each of the individuals dependency and tuning with each other. They can also be programmed in bulk for the use of an office or organisation to reduce individual disputes. Hence, it is an efficient tool to keep the human social network healthy.

Ghee is the essence of Milk (is the essence or Sap of all Plants). The ingestion of Ghee is like offering the finest of fuels into the fires of Digestion- Agni. In accord with this, Ghee builds the Aura, makes all the organs soft, builds up the Internal Juices of the body-Rasa, which are destroyed by Aging and Increases the most refined element of Digestion-Shukra & Ojas, the underlying basis of all Immunity and the “Essence of all Bodily Tissues”. Ghee is the “Single most Ojas Producing food on Earth”. Ghee is known to increase intelligence--Dhi, refine the intellect-Buddhi and improve the memory-Smrti. Cow’s Ghee is used in many ways and in many diseases as told in Ayurveda Shastra.

Although Ghee kindles or increases the digestive fire- Agni, on which all nutrition depends, it does so without aggravating Pitta- the elemental functioning of fire within the body. Use of Ghee in Ayurveda means by default it is Cow’s Ghee.

Ghee causes Secretions and Liquification in the Dhatus-bodily tissues that dissolve Wastes allowing the functional Intelligences of the body-Doshas to carry away Toxins-Ama. The ingestion of Ghee is used in Panchakarma specifically to first penetrate into and then dissolve Ama in the Dhatus, allowing the Wastes to be then carried to the Intestinal Tract and then Expelled.

Qualities of Cow’s Ghee:

“Dhee kaanthismruthikaarakam balakaram medhokaram shuddhikrudvataghnam shramanaashanam swarakaram pittapaham pushtidam!!”

It increases Intelligence; Helps in enhancing Memory Power; Rejuvenates the Skin from inside and increases its Glow; Boosts body Energy; Detoxifies Body; Normalizes Vata; Increases clarity of Voice; Normalises Pitta; Nourishes the Body; Improves Digestion and increases body Fire; Increases Quality and Quantity of Semen; It is very effective in disorders of Eye; Acts as a Good Rasayana; It is the best form of Fat.

Ghee prepared out of cow’s milk is considered to have best Medicinal properties. Freshly prepared Ghee is very Effective and Useful. The Ghee which has been kept for 10 years is called as “Purana Ghrita”. It is widely used in treating Epilepsy and other Neurological disorders.

The Ghee which has been stored for more than 100 years is called as “Kumbha Sarpi”. The Ghee which is stored more than 100 years is called as “Maha Ghrita”. Maha Ghrita is used in Chronic Cough and disorders of the Eye.

Facts about Cow’s Ghee:

Cow’s Ghee has Great power to remove Atomic Radiation from Atmosphere when we do a Yagna, Homa, A Religious Ceremony or a Sacrificial Rite. Hence they are practiced from good olden days in Ayurveda.

If you add 1 Tola (11.66 gm) of Cow’s Ghee into the sacrificial pit of Alter, it can produce 1 Ton of fresh Oxygen in the Atmosphere. That’s the reason why in the Temples in India, Hindus lighten Lamps with Cow’s Ghee.

Cow’s ghee has Good Cholesterol (High Density Lipid HDL), so patients with high cholesterol should eat Cow’s Ghee. It’s a really Good Natural Tonic to the Heart.

If we do Nasyam (Nasal Effusion) with few drops of Cow’s Ghee Three times a day, it balances Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta & Kapha.

In a Patient with Psoriasis or any other Skin Disorder, instead of rubbing any expensive Ointments, just rub Cow’s Ghee. It will work like Miracle because it has great effect to detoxify your system.

TOE WALKING

It is very natural for the parents to assume that persistence of toe walking is just a force of habit and nothing else. But we ‘docs’ at times need to rule out medical causes before attributing the condition to mere habit. Such children need a thorough assessment in form of a detailed history and a physical examination.
When a young child begins to walk, toe walking is common and is considered within a broad range of normal, particularly when the child can stand with his foot flat when not walking. During normal gait development, “heel strike” (1st event in gait cycle) should occur by the age of 3 yr. Persistent toe-walking past this age is abnormal and neurological causes like mild cerebral palsy need to be ruled out.
The other possible reason for this can be a shortened tendo-achilles tendon/ heel cord, which pulls the ankle and foot down (plantar flexion). When no cause is found for this, it is termed as ‘Idiopathic’. The condition thus, is called “Idiopathic Toe Walking” and may have been present in the older family members in their childhood.
Basis of treatment in both is to correct the deformity around the ankle and maintain it to allow a normal heel-toe gait pattern. One starts by stretching the tendo-achilles at regular intervals, using short-leg casts after stretching to maintain correction initially; followed by orthotic/brace support. In Idiopathic cases, surgical lengthening of heel cord is generally delayed for several years and is the last resort. The condition is known to take a long time to respond and patience needs to be in abundance. For toe walking due to mild cerebral palsy (CP), a proper rehabilitation program (physical and occupational therapy) in addition, needs to be tailored for the patient. As CP itself cannot be eradicated, its effect on lower limb joints needs to be monitored during growth, and managed accordingly. An appropriate controlled surgical release of gastro-soleus at the musculo-tendinous junction may be planned in certain cases at the right age. This is followed by maintenance of correction by casts initially and later by ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). The family needs to be thoroughly educated regarding the utmost importance of a persistent proper rehabilitation in terms of physical therapy and gait training.

Laser Eye Surgery at Aashray Eye and Skin Clinic
A-52. Meera Bagh. New Delhi

The surgery reshapes the cornea
The surgery is intended to reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
A laser is used to permanently change the shape of the cornea, the clear covering in front of the eye

What does the surgery do?
The surgery is done as an out-patient procedure and takes about 14 min per eye.


Local anaesthetic drops are placed in the eye being treated.
An automated rotary blade is used to make a flap in the cornea.
A hinge is left at one end of this flap.
The flap is folded back to reveal the middle part of the cornea. Pulses from a laser vaporise a portion of this and the flap is replaced.
The patient walks out with dark glasses.
How does this improve vision?
People need to wear glasses for different reasons. Some people are said to be short-sighted or myopic. This is due to the cornea being too steeply curved or the eye longer than normal.
Therefore, light rays fall in short of the retina - the area at the back of the eye that interprets the image - and results in blurred distance vision.
Other people are long-sighted or hyperopic because their cornea is too flat or the eye is too short. This means that the light rays focus too far beyond the retina.
Others have a condition where the cornea is oval shaped rather than spherical, called astigmatism. This produces two different focal points which can blur images at all distances.
Laser surgery to reshape the cornea can help to correct these problems.


Will it help with age-related vision loss?
No.
Laser surgery will not be able to cure age-related presbyopia and the need for reading glasses that people often develop in their mid-40's.
This is because presbyopia is not to do with a problem with the cornea. Instead, it occurs when the lens becoming less flexible with age.
Where can I get it?
Private treatment usually costs £1000-1500 in the UK i.e. almost 80000 Rs. In India the best treatments are available in a price range of 20000 to 45000 Rs for both eyes. This being a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by Medi-claim or Company Insurance.
What are the risks?
Complications occur in less than 5% of cases, according to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. U.K.
Some people have a problem with dry eyes in the months after surgery and artificial tear supplements might be needed in few weeks after surgery
Many patients have experienced glare or halo effects when night driving, particularly just after treatment. This is more likely the higher the correction that has been made, but is rarely severe. Higher order corrections are possible with Zyoptic Laser or Aspheric Zyoptic.
In rare cases, excessive thinning of the eye wall can cause the shape of the eye to be unstable after treatment. Severe loss of vision is very unusual, but some patients could require corneal surgery or hard contact lenses to restore vision – this complication has been reported in less than 5 patients per million lasiks.
Can both eyes be done on the same day?
Yes.
How long will it take me to recover?
Most patients have a reasonably comfortable period after surgery and are back at work within a few days to a week.
Depending on the vision correction attempted, driving may be unsafe for one to two weeks. Tinted glasses with ultraviolet protection are needed when out in the sun for the first three months.

FEMALE & MALE HEALTH ISSUES
What is Sexual Orgasm? A peak of arousal, marking a moment of intense pleasure. The female orgasm lasts a few seconds, followed by a feeling of relaxation. Continued stimulation may also result in further orgasms. Unlike the men, some women are able to do this without the need to rest for a short period of time, smoke a cigarette or order in pizza.
Do women only climax during penetrative activity? Far from it. The fact is very few women orgasm solely as a result of the penis penetrating the vagina, it's more likely to happen through stimulation (touching/rubbing/kissing) of the clitoris - the highly sensitive bump located at the top of the vaginal lips.
What are the female orgasmic signs medically? Here are some general orgasm indicators, describing the build up and the moment itself:
• rising feeling of intense strange feelings;
• increase in blood pressure and pulse rate;
• breathing quickens;
• increase in vaginal lubrication;
• clitoris becomes erect and exposed;
• breasts become enlarged, nipples erect;
• skin flushes, particularly the face and chest;
• pelvic muscle spasms, causing vaginal contractions and orgasmic sensations

Why does orgasm happen?: In men, the orgasm is all tied up with a specific reproductive function-sperm Ejaculation. Women don't have to orgasm during sex in order to conceive, which makes the reason why it happens hard to pin down. Here are some of the more interesting (and questionable) theories, none of which address the simple fact - if it's enjoyable, who needs theories?
• After climax, you're more likely to lie down, thus increasing sperm retention and boosting your chances of conception!
• The muscular contractions associated with the female orgasm help pull sperm from the vagina to the cervix, again boosting conception chances.
• To create an emotional bond between lovers.
• A means of communicating sexual satisfaction to your partner (always a good thing).



Female Sexual Arousal
Your girlfriend or wife is stress-free, you have plenty of foreplay and romance, and you’ve tried every position possible, but she simply cannot have an orgasm. This can be a very troubling and discouraging situation for both people involved. Both the man and woman can feel as though they are sexually inadequate, leading to distress within the relationship.
Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) can be categorized by the following symptoms:
• inability to experience orgasm
• inability to produce lubrication
• decreased libido or lack of desire
Having one of these symptoms does not necessarily mean that one has FSAD. A physician should be contacted for diagnosis.
There are both physical and emotional causes of FSAD. Here are some of the known causes:
• lack of affection within relationship
• communication problems
• fatigue and stress
• physical illness likes diabetes or heart disease
• psychological conditions like depression
• relationship lacking emotional intimacy
• restrictive upbringing concerning sex
• negative/traumatic sexual experience
Here’s a little introduction to each of the pleasure zones of girls and women:
Clitoris:
• Areas above, to the sides, and below the clitoris are highly sensitive
• Its only physical function is to provide sexual pleasure
• Most women claim that the clitoral orgasm is the most intense
• In his book Sexual Behavior on the Human Female (1953), Charles Kinsey found that out of 2700 American women, half received orgasm through clitoral stimulation
Vaginal Orgasm:
• Outer third of the vagina is the most sensitive
• Many women claim that it is more difficult to achieve a vaginal orgasm than a clitoral one.
• Freud labeled this type of orgasm as the “mature” type, whereas the clitoral orgasm was an “immature” type of sexual experience (A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis, 1916)
It is important to note, however, that one type of orgasm is not better than the other – they are simply two different ways of experiencing pleasure.Every woman has her own preference over which orgasm provides the best pleasure.
Men who are striving to please their girlfriends or wives in bed should communicate with their partners to discover:

a) which is easiest for her to achieve
b) which one she prefers in terms of physical pleasure


Vaginal Dryness
An estimated 20 million American women suffer from vaginal dryness—and as a consequence, painful intercourse. Dryness can result from menopause, childbirth, stress, and even the use of certain medications. Vaginal dryness can sometimes be a great obstacle when trying to achieve orgasm. It can make sex painful and even unbearable for some women.

Male reproductive cells - Sperms
The mature sperm cell (spermatozoa) is 0.05 milliliters long. It consists of a head, body and tail. The head is covered by the ac cap and contains a nucleus of dense genetic material from the 23 chromosomes.
It is attached from the neck to the body containing mitochondria that supply the energy for the sperm's activity. The tail is made of protein fibers that contract on alternative sides, giving a characteristic wavelike movement that drives the sperm through the seminal fluid, which also supplies additional energy. Some sperm have two heads or two tails and if the testes are too warm they may die or spermatogenesis may not occur. Sperm swim at a rate of about 3mm (0.12 inches) per minute. That’s an average, it’s different for every guy. Some sperm cells are 'better' swimmers than others. Why? They need to wave their tales more than 1000 times just to swim a half an inch.

Sperm cells are made in the testes where it takes about 72 days for one sperm to grow. Sperm production requires a temperature which is three to five degrees below body temperature. The scrotum has a built-in thermostat, which keeps the sperm at the correct temperature while they’re being stored. If it becomes too cool on the outside, the scrotum will bring the testicles closer to the body for warmth as you probably know from jumping into a cold pool of water or ocean. That’s why the testes hang away from the body -- so sperm can develop at the temperature they need. (95° - 97° F or 35° to 36° C). Semen contains small amounts of more than thirty elements. The middle section controls the sperms activities. The sperm or (spermatozoa -- which are the little swimming critters) make up only about 5% of what a man ejaculates each time he ejaculates. The rest of what a man ejaculates in his ejaculate, which is about a teaspoonful (5 ml), is made up of water, sugar, protein, vitamin C, zinc, and prostaglandins. Semen or seminal fluid is the mixture of sperm and the secretions of the seminal vesicles and prostate glands. Over the course of a guy’s life, he’ll produce more than 12 trillion sperm.

Male Sexual Arousal
Erection: Although much research has been done on erectile function and dysfunction, many aspects of function still remain unclear. (Even with the invention of those blue pills you have seen advertised on TV.)
Erection results from dilation of the arteries in the penis and an increase in arterial blood under high pressure -- to simplify things a bit. This causes the erectile tissue in the penis to become engorged. Erection also most likely involves several neurotransmitters.
Orgasm
With increasing intensity of the sexual stimulus, the reflex centers of the spinal cord begin to emit impulses that leave the cord to the genitals and initiate emission, which is the forerunner of ejaculation. Fluid from the vas deferens, the prostate, the ampulla, and the seminal vesicles (and even more tiny glands) are propelled into the internal urethra by contractions of the groin muscles*. The filling of the internal urethra elicits signals that are transmitted through the pudendal nerves from the spinal cord. Increases in pressure in the urethra cause the semen to be propelled to the exterior, resulting in ejaculation! The period of emission and ejaculation is termed male orgasm. After ejaculation erection ceases within 1 to 2 minutes in most males.
Sexual Hormones: It is apparent that sexual desire and performance depend on some threshold level of testosterone, however, this level varies from man to man. One of the greatest inhibitors of sexual functioning in males is loss of or low self-esteem and the development of a negative self-image.

Q What is the difference between a male and female orgasm?
Ans : The most obvious difference in orgasms is that male orgasms are usually accompanied by the ejaculation of semen. Ejaculation involves the secretion of semen into the urethra (urinary canal) and a rhythmic contraction of pelvic muscles that forces the semen out of the urethra.
In males sometimes orgasms occur with or without ejaculation. When men have orgasms without ejaculation, the pelvic muscles contract and you feel like youêre having an orgasm, but the semen is prevented from being secreted into the urethra. Less commonly, the semen is pushed backward into the bladder during orgasm and appears as milky fluid that comes out during urination after sex. This is called retrograde ejaculation and happens occasionally when men try to prevent ejaculation during orgasm and is usually not a sign of a disorder. However, retrograde ejaculation does happen more frequently in people with diabetes or after surgery, causing damage to the nerves around the penis. During orgasm for a female, the rhythmic contractions take place within the pelvic muscles as well as the walls of the vagina. In most women, there is no fluid ejaculated during orgasm. Another difference between male and female orgasm is that women do not experience a refractory period and may have multiple orgasms with continued or additional stimulation.

Q When my husband and I have sex, sometimes I feel too dry inside and often it hurts. There are also times when I feel a pain in my belly when he is in too deep, any suggestions?
Ans : Don't stress out over vaginal dryness. You might just need a vaginal lubricant and there are many to choose from, even the generic brands work well. Spend more time before the act getting interested and ready to participate. Kissing, fondling, caressing and slowly getting into sexual exploration may also be a part of the dance that's lacking for you. If you have severe pain, seek medical help right away. It may be an infection, inflammation or condition that requires attention. BUT, tell him so together you can create the pattern that's pleasing for both of you. Concentrate on what feels good for both of you; inside and out.
Q Can masturbating hurt me?
Ans : No, not really. You might get sore if you are masturbating a lot. If you feel sore from masturbating too much, than that is too much for you. In case you feel deadly tired or very bad after masturbation, you should stop it for the time you really recover. The scientific reason is that after every masturbation, oxygen level in your blood is considerably dropped. Blood takes some time to pick up oxygen. It is a good idea to have drink a glass of water in small sips (not hurriedly).
