Advantages of Magnetic Therapy
The magnetotherapy has various advantages. Magnetotherapy does not stop to take any other medicine when being treated by this.

Magnetotherapy is a natural treatment, based on natural laws and works in conformity with the nature and is an aid to natural processes of healing. Therefore, it has no harmful effects, which could endanger the life of a patient. The magnetotherapy can be taken alone or along with any other treatment. It does not hamper any medical treatment but helps to accelerate the action of all medicines, which have the effect of restoring the ailing body to its normal state in a natural way.

Advantages of Magnetotherapy In magnetotherapy, the body comes continuously in contact with magnets, which generates warmth in body, activates the whole working system and accelerates blood circulation. Thus it provides strength and tones up the body as a whole. Magnetotherapy helps in faster recovery from ailments, removes, tiredness, weakness, proves beneficial in recovery periods. It also reduces pains and swellings of every part of the body.

Magnetotherapy is beneficial for light conditions as well as for serious diseases. It also helps those who are not mentally satisfied with their lives. The depressed persons can also get advantage by using magnetotherapy. It is very advantageous for the hurried, tense business executive, the worried nervous housewife, the career women unable to find mental peace and the child who is enraged by continued temper tantrums. One can enjoy a better and peaceful life after using the magnets.

Magnetotherapy has also cured numerous cases of serious sickness, which were considered incurable by efficient doctors. Many patients were also recovered by magnetotherapy from many incurable diseases like cancer, chronic arthritis, eczema, high blood pressure, poliomyelitis, prostate enlargement, rheumatism, sleeplessness, etc.

The treatment by using magnets is so simple that it can be given or taken at any time, at any place and at any part of the body. Person of any age or sex or age can take the magnetotherapy treatment. It gives quick and lasting relief in some diseases, especially in toothache, sprains, etc. Sometimes only one sitting with magnet is sufficient and even a second sitting is not required.

In the process of magnetotherapy, one does not need to take any preparation to give or take this treatment. It can be done only by touching the magnets for some time. Only 10 minutes use once a day is enough so it does not consume much time also. The magnet can be taken to the workplaces or in long journeys also and can be used there. This treatment does not require water, tea or milk as in it no medicine is needed to take internally. In the magnetotherapy treatment, several patients can use the same magnets, each day, without washing, cleaning or disinfecting them. The same magnets can also be used for all complaints, if the size, shape, design and power of the magnets are suitable for the parts of the body where they are to be applied and for the diseases.

The magnetotherapy treatment is not habit forming. If the person using the magnets does not use them for some days or weeks, he does feel anything wanting or any urge for using them. The users of the magnets remain fresh, energetic and youthful. The magnet used in the magnetotherapy has a special property of improving and removing pain from any cause. The treatment with magnets does not result any shock or irritation as is sometimes observed in some other systems of treatment. The permanent magnets used in the magnetotherapy treatment, retain their power for several years. They can be recharged to regain their lost magnetism if they lose their power in due course of time.

"Talking About SEX"
As a Psychiatrist and Relationship Counselor I get the opportunity to meet a lot of people who are gracious enough to share with me, their deepest secrets.

SEX is one issue where both men and women are always hesitant to talk about.

Most of them, want to talk about it, but take sometime to be comfortable and open up their inner mind.

Restless thoughts regarding sex are like a monster that keeps eating the peace of mind, and that's why I encourage talking about your inner sexual feelings

The following statistics are a proof of how much Emotional Pain we could save the society from if we just spoke about SEX in a progressive way.

1. 54% men and 25% women think about sex on a daily basis. - Unable to express these thoughts leads to restlessness, anger and decreased concentration.

2. Average Married Indian couple has sex about 70-90 times a year.

At 1/3 of these encounters are a complete disaster with either one or both partners not being satisfied.

3. More than 80% women think of sexual activity as activity to prove they are loved.

4. More than 50% of women have fake an orgasm, just to keep their husband happy.

Many of these live under the "delusion" that they are able to satisfy not only their wife, but also go ahead and give wrong advice to other man

5. Lack of sexual satisfaction makes a woman feel unwanted, hopeless, restless and depressed.
Its one of the most common reasons for Clinically high levels of depression among married woman.

This is also one of the prime reasons for woman looking to have extra-marital relationships.

6. 80% of Men doubt their sexual capacity at least once in life. Most of them are not happy with their sexual performance, but scared to talk about the same to a professional.
Majority of the advice they get from friends, family or wife increases their restlessness.

7. 2/3 people feel they don't have enough satisfying sex. But lack of proper emotional communication leads to the same.

8. A great majority of men use sex as a way to show their "macho" or "male" supremacy over their female partner.
Henceforth sexual activity becomes a ego tussle.

9. Mutual respect plays a vital role in a satisfying sex life.
82% of sexually satisfied say they feel respected and loved by their partner during sex.

59% are looking for more love and romance in the act.

10. A great majority Indian males and females only focus on the sexual intercourse phase of sex.
Build-up, Fore-play, after-play, experimentation phases are never talked about.

Sex is a beautiful and divine activity. It's a gift of god to increase happiness, increase body immunity, decrease body pains provided it has the right mixture of LOVE to it..

If an individual is not Lovingly Sexually satisfied he/she will fall prey to psychological problems like restlessness, depression, sleep disturbance, body pains, masturbation addiction, pornography (both visual and reading) addiction, increased need to seek satisfaction outside relationship.

Dont just have sex... HAVE LOVING SEX.....AND ENJOY IT COMPLETELY.....

for any further query feel free to email me....

SPONTANEITY AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
SPONTANEITY AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

NAMASMARAN is admired, appreciated and advised by hundreds of saints.
But apparently; few fortunate are haunted by the mystery of NAMA, fewer pursue it and still fewer persist on it! Amongst these; very few are convinced of its cosmic benevolence and take it upon them to spread the glory of NAMA.
But there is nothing to despair; as the experience, conviction and joy of NAMA; go on multiplying and deepening endlessly. The beginners as well as the veterans; all; have a spontaneous spring of ambrosia to manifest and nurture the mankind and the universe; at appropriate time.
Practitioners of NAMASMARAN actually go on “digging within them”; and in the course of time (and at appropriate time); the spontaneous spring of ambrosia begins to break open into a fountain. This gives indescribable, innate and yet universally benevolent ecstasy!
One may not believe in all this; but verify; if one wishes; the power of NAMASMARAN; by practice!

SAKALPA AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
SAKALPA AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

How can we do anything; if we don’t have purpose or mission?
In fact; can we; in day to day life; possibly do anything; without purpose and plan?
Whether we are students, teachers, administrators, farmers or policy makers; is it not true that we have purpose and plan?
How to reconcile this with the 2nd shloka in 6th chapter of Gita?
Practice of NAMASMARAN gradually lets us know that; sankalpa; is a product of individual identity.
The discrepancy between what is; or appears to be; and what ‘we” want, or don’t want; creates a sankalpa.
When we are dead as individuals; the sankalpa dies.
Just as the Sun does have sankalpa of sunrise and Rain does not have sankalpa of rainfall; when we merge with the past, present and future; i.e. God’s wish; there is nothing to wish. God’s sankalpa automatically becomes our sankalpa.
This is a very difficult, evolved and accurate state of being. It is almost indescribable and hence it is innate and very personal. But it is non-personal too; as there is no individual consideration or motive! It is a state in which practitioners of NAMASMARAN live eternally…

NAMASMARAN AND UNIVERSE
ऐसे माझेनि नामघोशे
नाही करिती विश्वाची दु:ख्खे

अवघे जगचि महासुखे
दुमदुमित भरले (200)

कही एकाधेनि वैकुंठा जावे
ते तिही वैकुंठचि केले आघवे
ऐसे नामघोष गौरवे
धवळले विश्व (203)

KUNDALINI AND VISHVA KUNDALINI: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
KUNDALINI AND VISHVA KUNDALINI: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Kundalini is the expression to indicate the innate “energy” or potential energy; that manifests through changes at molecular, DNA, cellular, metabolic, hormonal, neuroendocrine and neural levels; and the fraction of the root of everything in universe called PRAKRUTI or SHAKTI. VUSHVA KUNDALINI is a holistic expression to indicate the cosmic potential energy; the root of time space and matter.
Just as KUNDALINI JAGRUTI in individuals; is an expression of “cosmic will” from time to time; the VISHVA KUNDALINI JAGRUTI is also an expression of “cosmic will”; from time to time.
KUNDALINI JARUTI in an individual has benevolent and emancipating effect on the society. VISHVA KUNDALINI JAGRUTI has benevolent and emancipating effect on the whole universe.
VISHVA KUNDALINI JAGRUTI concurs with billions of people being blessed to get oriented to their core and realize SELF; through different practices; while simultaneously empowering the others in such individual and universal blossoming!
It is interesting that every individual desire is an altered perception and expression of truth! Thus; we are born with all instincts and emotions to be “ourselves”! But the instincts usually appear as romance and our emotional needs appear as duties, preoccupations and missions! Hence; we go on getting involved in them; but never to get ultimate satisfaction. Thus simple instincts of survival, hunger, thirst, sexual intercourse and so on; appear in altered forms such as restlessness and depression! As there is an element of truth; these do serve some useful purpose; in artistic and literary expressions.
But they never lead to fulfillment.
Hence all the saints and visionaries; have indicated to us; that the ultimate purpose of life; is self realization or KUNDALINI JAGRUTI i.e. being our true self. In contrast to the bloody struggle involved in competition for fulfilling the desires; the efforts of KUNDALINI JAGRUTI are always mutually beneficial and symbiotic!
Today; is the time of expression of the “cosmic will” into; VISHVA KUNDALINI JAGRUTI; i.e. holistic renaissance, superliving or total stress management and NAMASMARAN is the simplest and universally acceptable means (initially) and end (subsequently) for this. It is the accurate and appropriate answer to all the restlessness arising from altered perceptions of our “true desire that actually concurs with cosmic desire”!

NAMASMARAN AND VISHVA KUNDALINI: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
NAMASMARAN AND VISHVA KUNDALINI: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The word VSIHVA KUNDALINI has appeared in the recent biography of Bhagawan Shri Shripad Shrivallabh.

Anyone, who is a believer of ATMANO MOKSHARTHAM JAGAT HITAYA CHA i.e. SAMASHTI YOGA or individual and universal blossoming; or haunted by the conviction of global welfare; would be overwhelmed by this extraordinary word VISHVA KUNDALINI.

The multicolored physical and physiological experiences and the multidimensional intense emotional components of life; ultimately culminate in KUNDALINI JAGRUTI; through the guidance of Sadguru.

The sublime experiences and noble behavior of the majority; embody VISHVA KUNDALINI JAGRUTI; i.e. individual and universal blossoming; i.e. holistic renaissance. The main characteristics of this; is that; the majority of people practice NAMASMARAN, get focused on their core; and propagate the benevolent implications of NAMASMARAN in every field of life!

STRESS AND DESIRES: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
STRESS AND DESIRES: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Is it appropriate to advocate desirelessness; or fulfilling of all desires; right from childhood? This is very important question in Total Stress Management i.e. individual and global blossoming.

In general; many ascetics advocate arbitrary suppression of desires; and austerity; and the individualists uphold indulgence and fulfillment of all desires right from childhood!

Irrespective of the semantics, both aim at maximum fulfillment, which is embodied in a state called STHITAPRAJNA. The meaning or purport of this state is neither annihilation of; nor indulgence in desires; but culmination or sublimation of all the individual desires into the cosmic desire. This is an evolved, buoyant and a dynamically fulfilled state. This is not a state of surrender; but sublime, victorious and ecstatic state of merging with the cosmic consciousness.

The suppression and indulgence are double edged weapons. Suppression can inflate ego and indulgence can spill the life into vanity. Hence; what is required; is grooming and channelizing life; into ultimate fulfillment. Hence; the needs of the newborn babies, infants, toddlers, children, youths and the elderly are variable and ought to be fulfilled; by holistic perspective, policies, plans and programs and their implementation; at all levels.

This requires NAMASMARAN, which reorients us to the precise and sublime duty (SWADHARMA) at every stage of and every walk of life; and helps us to march joyously and victoriously; from; the states of enjoying the personal desires; to the state of sublimating them in cosmic desire! Hence the leadership of the world; should introduce the study and practice of JAPA, JAAP, JIKRA, NAMASMARAN i.e. remembrance of one’s true self; in all the courses; at all the stages of education; and in every walk of life!

STRESS AND ASSERTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
STRESS AND ASSERTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Restriction on breathing, sleep, drinking, eating, defecation, urination and delivery of baby; can cause severe STRESS.

But even as this STRESS is easy to recognize; most of us do not recognize the STRESS caused by the opposition, suppression or restriction on assertion i.e. following our own conscience, our inner voice or the inspiration of our soul. In fact; rather than others; more often; we ourselves suppress our own assertiveness! This is because we do not know our inner voice.


We have this stress; but we also have the freedom to assert; in tune with our inner voice; in tune with the aspirations of billions! This is possible through what may be called Total Stress Management, which involves; being objective and holistic in; perspective, policies, planning, programs and their implementation; though NAMASMARAN.

DEPRESSION - Why is it so Important?
Everyday I meet many people who have been sad and lonely for weeks, months and in many cases years.

The relatives (father, mother, wife, sister, etc) have a simple stance - " Why come to a psychiatrist? He/She ain't mad... Just feeling sad... We will give him/her some good counseling and they will improve!"

Why Do Repeated Counseling from friends and family Fail to cure the sadness and loneliness?

Answer - The human brain is an organ like no other. Misunderstood and lack of knowledge about it is present in a great majority, but everyone seems to be an expert in its functioning.

I am sure most people who feel only counseling or talk-therapy (as popularly called) will be aware of the fact that Depression has the following biological effects on the brain:
a. decreased blood circulation
b. decreased nervous functioning
c. decreased production of neuro-chemicals and hormones.

Over-all decrease of Brain activity leads to following symptoms of depression.
(anyone having 5 or more requires immediate treatment)
1.Sad or depressed Mood thru most of the day.
2. Decreased interest in activities
3. Sleep Problems - lack of sleep or excess of sleep
4. Weight Problems- Drastic Increase or Decrease in Weight in last one month.
5. Feeling Restless/ agitated thru out the day.
6. Slowing of thought process - not able to do things as quickly as before
7. Fatigue or loss of energy thru out the day.
8. lack of confidence in self.
9. Decreased Memory Power- decreased in the ability to think, concentrate, inability to take decisions.
10. Thoughts of leaving everything and going away, /or Thoughts of Suicide / Self-Harm.

Why does it require treatment?
Any part of the body that doesn't get proper blood circulation slowly starts to die.

in depression, not only blood circulation, but also nervous functioning and neuro-chemicals levels go down, hence-forth creating a 3-way harm and destruction of brain.

what treatment is effective?
treatment has to be based on a proper 40-45min evaluation of the personality of the individaul, factors and causes of stress and depression.
Only a detailed session can reveal the deep subconscious problems of the client.
based on it, a combination of two or more of the following is effective:
a. venting out - talking or actions thru which negative emotions are brought out
b. mental training - exercises thru which the brain is thought to be motivated
c. psychological helps - small techniques to battle episodes of high restlessness and anxiety
d. meditation techniques
e. medicines - HOMEOPATHY is recommanded as it does not have side effects, non-addictive, and completely Safe.

The psychiatrist should spend enough time with the patient to understand his/her problem and accordingly design a treatment for them.
