Through this series on Pregnancy, in which each column would deal with one important aspect of the pregnancy phase, I attempt at introducing a wonderful concept of Jag Therapy to all of you. K.R.I Jagdish formulated the Jag therapy which is a unique method of alternative medical treatment through the holistic approach. It's an extremely successful therapy which has suited and cured many people and I say this out of personal experience! However please ensure utmost safety while taking to any suggestions made here by this particular therapy since each person's anatomy and constitution is different. Remember to consult your doctor before adopting anything in your entire pregnant phase though the first article in this series is very general as it deals with common important things one must keep in mind throughout.
HEALTHY WAYS OF LIVING DURING PREGNANCY:
As a prospective mother one should be well prepared both physically and mentally before conceiving. You should know the physical preparation for pregnancy, about delivery, nutritional management during this phase and post-natal care. If the to-be-mother is active, cheerful and optimistic, she will see its positive effects on the birth and the child. Good preparation of the body and mind helps to have a wonderful healthy baby with ease. Naturally nutritious food with least amount of drugs and chemicals certainly build better health. Yoga promotes blood circulation, maintains healthy tissues of the body, develops good discipline and clears the emotional imbalance of the mind.
Both parents contribute to the development of the baby and therefore are to be healthy and well prepared before planning to get a new life into their own lives. Both the parents should consult the doctor to find out about their individual health since a thorough checkup can avert possible dangers.
Visiting the doctor regularly for a checkup should not be neglected. The visit should be every month, for the first six months, once in two weeks for the 7th and 8th month and later every week. If there is any discomfort, even it appears to be minor should be informed to the doctor without hesitation or shyness. Some dangerous symptoms are frequent headaches, dizziness, morning sickness even after three months, discomfort in the lower abdomen, difficulty in urinating, blood in the urine, swelling etc.
The foetus receives its nourishment and oxygen from its mother's blood. Eating wisely during pregnancy can do much to help the birth and health of the baby as well as that of the mother. There is no need to eat for "two" of you during pregnancy but you should eat well. It is not the quantity but the quality of the food that is important. The food should be nutritious and rich in natural vitamins and minerals. The development of a health baby depends upon the food the mother takes. Unless there is serious illness, there is no need for supplements, provided the food is nutritious. An extra protein diet is required only after six months of pregnancy. There will be cravings for certain foods which do not mean anything other than emotional disturbance.
Relaxation, deep breathing and meditation help to solve the problem.
Read the next column to find out some of the important nutrients that help during pregnancy.
In fact, we are what we are because we hold back a little of ourselves. If we were to let ourselves go completely we would become something we never were before. But there is a holding back in one's being all the time. If a woman gives in completely even to an ordinary man, there will be a crystallization within her and she will go beyond the fourth body. This is why women have many a time crossed the fourth body with their love for very ordinary men.
.
If a woman becomes so completely surrendered in love to even an ordinary man, she does not have to go through this long journey. All her four bodies will combine and stand at the doorstep of the fifth. Therefore, it was the women who went through this experience who said, "The husband is God." This does not mean that they actually thought that the husband was God; it means that the doors of the fifth opened for them through the medium of the husband
There was no mistake in what they said; what they said was absolutely correct. What another meditator obtains through great effort she obtains with ease through her love. The love for one person alone takes her to that state.
;If a complete woman reaches a perfection of love for one person she will jump over the first four steps of spiritual practice. For a man it is very difficult because he does not have a surrendering mind. But it is interesting to know that even aggression can be perfect. However, for aggression to be perfect many things are involved and not you alone. In surrender, however, you alone are responsible for its perfection and other things do not matter at all. If I wish to surrender to someone I can do so entirely without telling him. But if I have to be aggressive toward someone, that someone will also be involved in the final result.
there are rules of compensation in life. In the case of the woman, her shortcoming is made up for by her ability to surrender. A man is never able to love completely no matter how much he loves someone. The reason is that he is aggressive and has less ability to surrender. So if a woman's first four bodies become complete and merge into one unit she can surrender very easily at the fifth. And when a woman in this fourth state crosses these two steps of inner intercourse and becomes perfect, no power on earth can come in her way. Then no one except God exists for her. Actually, the one she loved in her first four bodies had also become God for her, but now, whatever is, is God.
There is a beautiful incident in Meera's life. Once she went to Vrindavan. There the priest of the great temple did not look at women, so women were not allowed inside that temple. Bells in hand, immersed in her Lord Krishna, Meera went right inside, however. The other people in the temple hastened to tell her that the temple was closed to women as the priest did not look at women. To this Meera said, "That is very strange. I was under the impression there was only one man in the world -- Krishna. Who is this other man? Is there another man? I would like to see him."
They rushed to the priest and told him about Meera. When he heard all they had to say he came running to Meera, fell at her feet, and said, "It is meaningless to call her a woman for whom there is only one man.
The matter of man and woman is finished for her. I touch your feet and ask forgiveness. Seeing ordinary women I looked upon myself as a man. But for a woman of your caliber my being a man has no meaning."
When a man reaches the fourth body he becomes a perfect man. He will have crossed the two steps toward attaining this perfection. From then onwards there is no woman for him; the word woman holds no meaning for him. Now he is only a force of aggressiveness, just as a woman who attains perfect womanhood in the fourth body becomes
When ever you start from without you will creat a false state .the real always happens in centre then waves reaches to the periphery. But these modern yoga gurus pushing the people to do the postures and asanas thinking that they will attain peace and healing in this way but reality is something else.and in this pushing they are destroying delicate nerves and tandems of the body.even some crazy yoga gurus doing postures in hot rooms thinking that body is like iron who will expand with the heat our body is not a iron rod and our conciousness will not expand with heating. the real guru will never push the body to do the asanas. just see a cat or dog when it wants to relax it just streches its body .have you seen a cat or dog doing a posture in a hot room with a guru.
fact number one-Yoga was discovered by patanjali 5000 thousand year ago for man but not for the woman.but many woman are doing it not knowing what will be the result. these woman don’t know how it will affect their hormonal system.my understanding is that yoga is path of effort or ego which is good for a man and path of surrender like bhakti or tantra is good for a feminine woman.because when you do a effort or do a asana it increases your ego and when your ego totally rippens it drops itself like a ripe fruit.so a yogi first ripens his ego by doing asanas and following strict disciplined life style and then his ego drops but a woman is receptive .she surrenders in starting .she just let go and surrenders.she never fights against flow or she never makes a effort she just surendres its a nature of female or receptive energy. .yoga can make a womans solar plexus very strong if she makes effort in doing asanas and woman with a strong solar plexus and with a big ego can not creat a good relationsip with a man.because two egos always fights.but when a woman is surredering and receptive and with feminine energy she will allow the energy to move from solar plexus and samadhi or superconciousness will happen and during this process she connects with her male energy .so surrender happens first and then she connects with her male energy she becomes the goddess kali [kali is having female body but her energy is male.a kali eats the ego of shiva and shiva becomes'' bhola''or innocent. a womans belly can eat a ego of a man . and in this procees he transforms his ego dissolves.this is a function of relationship .thats why we search for a lover .because we are incomplete and with the help of our lovers we transforms and we become whole and divine. ] .but if a woman does asana or makes a effort it makes her solar plexus very strong and it will creat repulsion and fight in relationship as she is not surrendering .yoga makes solar plexus strong in woman.strong solar plexus means strong male energy and a man is already strong in male energy so two same energies creats repulsion. attraction always happens between oppsite poles or between opposite energies. in india tantrics have created tantra temples to boost male or female energies. sun temples in puri in orrisa can increase male energy in a woman. tantrics created this sun temple in puri specially for woman she can empower her male energy in these temples.
Fact number two –just see a Buddha siting on a lotus posture .do you think due to posture Buddha have attained the peace. No but the fact is that first inner peace happened to Buddha then his body took the lotus posture.because when the being is totally silent,the body follows like a shadow .the body takes a particular posture .the most relaxed possible,the most passive possible.but you can not do it other way around,you can not take a posture first expecting peace in result. posture or asana is a byproduct or result of inner peace. we see a Buddha sitting in a particular posture we think if this posture is followed then the inner silence will follow this is a wrong sequence.for Buddha the inner phenomenon happened first ,and then this lotus posture followed.look at it through your own experience .when you get angry ,the body takes a particular posture.your eyes becomes blooded and your face takes a particular expression.anger is inside and then the body follows.but anger happens first then body follows.
Start from the other pole make your eyes red, creat fast breathing.you can act but you can not creat anger inside.First came the experience of meditation. With the experience of meditation it was found that the body assumed many postures. Actually, w
