Every 15 minutes we change our sitting position in a office chair. Either we have strain in the back or in the neck. The eyes strain, the neck aches. And as we lean over to work on our computer screen, ours lungs and heart also does not get enough space to breath or circulate oxygen and blood.
If one is sitting for many work hours in a day without taking enough pause, its becomes more dangerous than smoking. Modern medical research is also confirming to this concept.
Scientific studies reveal it can take a toll on the heart by increasing the levels of cholesterol and fat and to get affected by type 2 diabetes are more.
To stay healthy and to prevent this one has to do small amounts of physical activity through out the day . Here are some few simple tips
1. leave your chair every half an hour, even if it is for few minutes
2. stand whenever you are talking to somebody in office.
3. Please talk with your colleagues and clients personally while walking if possible, avoid in office emails .
4. Do simple stretches and office yoga at your desk
5. Head to your office recreation centre for a workout or play games.
In modern times everybody has the ability to handle 20 to 30 stress situations in a day. Everyone today has a super stress competence to succeed. But if a stress situation persists for months or years like divorce with your life partner, complex diseases like cancer or a long legal fight with your business partner. Some people are better mentally prepared to manage the stress situations and some go in the zone of depression or burnout. Ones inner ability to stand back again is Resilence. Resilence is an essential and common factor in successful people. One may be smart, social with people but certain kind of determination and persistence is crucial on the road to success.
All of us in certain point of life have succeeded by fighting back different personal and professional circumstances. What if you can improve your resilience power? The good news is resilience is not genetically determined. Many successful people have a troubled childhood,like broken houses, death or alcoholism of their parents but they made their life.

Let’s Learn Resilience and Start to develop it.
In a very innovative way Raja Ray supports the process of Resilience, through touch, breathing, movements ,Meditation and lifestyle practies.
Last week a Lady from Luxembourg came to me to learn meditation. The Lady said she had HSP and she thinks meditation can help her. I asked her “what is HSP, i never heard that term “. She said she is a Highly Sensitive Person and she processes sensory data more deeply due to the nature of her central nervous system. I was just observing her breath, eye movements and as i worked in a Neurological ward, i was accessing her fine motoric abilities and her cognitive level. As per the TIM(Traditional Indian Medicine) she has high vata and she cannot withdraw her sense perception as easily as normally possible.
I just listened to Her as deeply as possible and started my Mediation therapy. A normal kind of Meditation or Relaxation will not help her. I was trying to create silences in between her words and perceptions that she was projecting.
People with HSP report having a heightened response to stimuli such as pain, caffeine, hunger, and loud noises. These people are easily overstimulated by external stimuli because they have a lower
perceptual threshold and process stimuli cognitively deeper than most other people.This deeper processing may result in increased reaction time as more time is spent responding to cues in the
environment, and might also contribute to cautious behavior and low risk-taking.
After working with for near about 3 hours in two sessions from her body and feeling feed back ,My teaching techniques brought her to a still state, where she was a completely changed person. I was amazed to see the effects i could not believe that Proper Meditation techniques can bring such a clarity , stability and peace in a person. Her eyes was clear , energetic and fresh. The skin of her face was glowing and relaxed. Her cognitive level has improved and her awareness is not dull. Her sense perceptions can handle information and external stimuli much better. She reacted and talked very calmly for next half and hour and offered me to teach this special Meditation technique in a HSP Seminar that she is organizing.
Highly sensitive persons can get lots of benefits from practicing silence. I learned a lot from her.

Breathing is very crucial for Life, and using breath for health is a special subject, and specially for Parkinson´s Cure- Breath can play a special role.
Let’s do a practice:
Please lay on your back and bend your knees. Focus on your exhalation. First you can exhale through the mouth, then try to exhale through the nose. Exhale softly without tensing the muscles or brain. Its is a very fine art to exhale softly, that will really help and heal your brain. If its difficult, learn it from a Breath therapist.
