Holistic Living

The Power of Simplicity in Holistic Living
 Prem Nirmal

What does it take to live life holistically?

It definitely does not require a degree from well known 
university,a high paying job or huge bank balance. Holistic 
living has nothing to do with all that!

Holistic living simply means..

1) To enjoy positive health and wellness with physical body
2) To have sharp and alert mind
3) To have positive emotions such as Zest, Love, Joy
4) To be aware spiritually

Holistic living is all about being human! More and more human!!

The effect of Negative

Majority of people who have had too many negative 
experiences in life get stuck with the negative 
polarity. So, in such cases where negative 
polarity is dominant in human experience, 
living holistically does take commitment, 
practice with patience and clear intention 
to create balance and evolve wholeness 
consciously.

Holistic living is to emphasize the positive 
in all dimensions. To begin with, create wholeness 
in the grosser trio of Body-Mind-Emotions. 
Once these grosser dimensions are brought in 
a state of balance, then we can actualize the 
more subtle dimensions.

The effect of Positive

A simple practice like smiling more often can 
have profound impact on our personality.Smiling 
is one of the natural and simplest things we can 
do. It doesn't cost anything! Scientific studies 
have shown the uplifting effects on the mind 
and emotions from a simple smile.

Conscious attention on the breath is another simple 
practice. It is such simple practices as these 
that can create balance between the negative and 
positive polarities. By being diligent in the 
practice of life affirmative techniques, we can 
make a profound shift in our state of being.

The effect of Kriya

Practice "Tatwa Breathing" (25 connected breaths) 
or "Elemental Breathing" consciously. Start it 
with a couple of deep breaths. Now start with four 
short breaths and end with a long breath. This 
makes the train of five connected breaths. 
Repeat such train five times and you have 
completed "Elemental breathing". 

(All 25 breaths should be connected without 
stopping in between). Tatwa breathing is based
on the fact that our body is made of five 
tatwas or elements namely Earth, Water, Fire, 
Air and Space. Once these five elements are
balanced within our body, we experience wellness! 

It is such a simple practice which does not need 
any cassette or gadget for practicing. Also, 
breathing in such simple way does not even cost
you anything! You do not need to travel to attend 
any group for practicing this Kriya. For next 
few days, simply focus on the practice of this 
simple Kriya. Also focus on simplicity with regards
to your holistic lifestyle.

Practice Kriya regularly. It takes less than half 
a minute to practice it. You do not have to make 
any noise while practicing it. Nobody will know 
except you about it! You can do it standing,
sitting or sleeping positions. You can repeat 
it every hour or anytime you feel you are drifting 
into negative habit patterns.

The effect of Meditation

Once you practice Kriya which prepares the 
background, it naturally throws you in a space 
of non-thinking, called meditation.

It creates the high levels of prana in your 
body-brain system that makes it easier for 
you to be aware of your breath and your thoughts 
simultaneously. You can easily get the knack 
of meditation when you do this Kriya. Simply
remain silent after doing Kriya, and keep your 
attention on your natural breathing process. 
Simultaneously keep witnessing your thoughts. 

You will experience very low levels of thought 
traffic as in high Prana state thoughts can 
not linger for long. Even if the No- thought 
state remains just for few seconds, you will 
experience the surge of energy and vitality, 
bringing back the positive qualities of Zest, 
love and joy!

Half a minute of Kriya and five to ten minutes 
of Meditation can be very refreshing during hectic 
working days, if you plan for these mini breaks 
in your work schedule. You can make it a habit of
practicing it consciously before lunch, before 
tea or before starting a meeting. It has the 
power to zoom up your personal effectiveness. 

It is bound to reflect in work quality and
productivity going up with effortless ease! 
This is one of the easiest ways to manage 
your stress too!

Through your commitment to practice of Kriya 
and Meditation,http://www.premnirmal.com/scofmed.htm  
which is to focus in emphasizing the positive, 
you will increase balance. That balance is the 
basis of wholeness and fulfillment. What 
begins as a simple balancing technique can 
become a powerful tool for life transformation.
