Even popular Yoga Guru Swami Baba Ramdev ji has mentioned Balayam ( rubbing nails yoga exercise ) as the best natural treatment for hair regrowth and many other hair problems like white hair, alopecia areata, pattern baldness, regular hair fall in many of his television shows and occasional public meeting videos.

How does rubbing fingernails grow hair ? The word Balayam comes from the combination of two Hindi ( Indian language ) words "Bal" and "Vyayam". Here "Bal" means Hair and "Vyayam" means exercise. Combinedly Balayam means Hair Exercise.

Because you need strong hair that lasts long. Yes, by practising Balayam ( Nail Rubbing Yoga Exercise ), you hair turns really strong and thick. You are not going to face any hair fall problems for present and in future with the regular practice of Balayam. It even helps in making you hair black and clears grey hair and white hair problems.

Balayam exercise is also know for curing many other problems like headaches, nerve disorders, insomnia and a lot more. So, it's worth to spend at least 10 to 15 minutes on Balayam exercise for both health and beauty, right ?

How to do Balayam Yoga ( Nail Rubbing Yoga Exercise ) for thick, strong, black hair & hair regrowth

After knowing the history and amazing benefits of Balayam, now you might want to know the correct way of doing Balayam Yoga ( Nail Rubbing Yoga Exercise ). Then here is a video of clear explanation of Balayam Yoga ( Nail Rubbing Yoga Exercise ) by Swami Baba Ramdev Ji in Hindi language ( India's national language ).

In the video, Swami Baba Ramdev Ji clearly explains us the "do's" and "don't s" while performing Balayam. You should rub your finger nails vigorously as explained by Swami Baba Ramdev for better results. And remember, never rub your thumb nails if you are a girl. Because rubbing thumb nails leads to moustache and beard growth. This is only to those boys and men who need facial hair. So for strong, long, smooth and thick hair, do Balayam with only other four fingers leaving the thumb finger. Though everyone know this, I am mentioning this as a caution because it looks really ugly if a girl get's beard and moustache by unknowingly rubbing the thumb nails.

And don't forget to rub them vigorously, I mean too strong. Because you should rub enough good so that the nerves under the nail in the nail bed gets good amount friction. Because the nerves under the nail have connection to the scalp, friction generated by the nails help in stimulating flow of blood to scalp and also helps in pumping of oxygen to scalp well. So, the results of hair growth depends on the amount of force you apply while rubbing the nails.

And one more thing, many people do mistake by rubbing their fingers instead of nails. So remember, rubbing tour fingers for years is not going to make your hair strong but rubbing your finger nails make them strong.

How much time should I do Balayam Yoga ( Nail Rubbing Yoga Exercise )

This depends on how fast you need the results. The more you spend time, the faster you get the results. Yes, it all depends on you. But basically many yoga gurus like Baba Ramdev ( as told in rubbing nails for hair growth baba ramdev speeches ) and Acharya Balkrishna ji suggest people to practice Balayam for at least 5 to 10 minutes once in the morning and evening. Of course, you can take break for every 5 minutes because your fingers get pain if you continuously do it. Some way collectively you need to do it for around 15 minutes a day. This is the best time count for better and faster results. Of course you can also do it for 20 minutes or 30 minutes daily if your hair problem is not too serious.

When should I do Balayam Yoga ( Nail Rubbing Yoga Exercise )

This is one other doubt people generally have regarding Balayam Therapy, the balayam yoga time. Usually early mornings and evenings are better for doing Balayam. Because doing any kind of yoga or acupressure therapy on empty stomach gives better results. So that's why early mornings and evenings gives faster and better results.

But of course you are not restricted to do on other timings of the day. You can happily do while travelling, listening to music or while something other. Now into balayam yoga reviews.

Learn to Embrace the Digital Detox 01-07

Learn to Embrace the Digital Detox

From meditation that lets you shake it off a la Taylor Swift to unplugged weekends that help you deal with smartphone withdrawal, our guide to the digital detox. 

I’M IN A SMALL ROOM, surrounded by total strangers, shaking my body. It’s not a nightmare but my eyes are definitely closed. My knees are also slightly bent as I move my arms and upper body to the rhythm of the instrumental New Age music.

I used to think meditation was all about staying still—until today. Joining in everything from gentle swaying to meditative walking, I find the five-hour introductory course at London Meditation (£95;london-meditation.co.uk ) both bizarre and entertaining. But with my phone locked away, I actually manage to let go at times, forgetting about the world outside and the incessant urge to check email,Twitter and Instagram.

“With body shaking [meditation], we let go of tension and discomfort in our bodies,” says Susann Herrmann, our teacher and the founder of London Meditation. “Let the body decide what it needs.”

As I let my body shake and shake and shake for over 10 minutes, I start to question my decision to attend. How will I survive five hours? “The mind makes comments like ‘this is not meditation,’ ” says Ms. Herrmann, who was a banker in her native Germany before eventually starting London Meditation with Albert Tobler in 2005. “Shake your thoughts out, drop back to the body and feel.” I’m trying.

New years are new chances to try the things you never thought you would and the things you always said you would. Increasingly, those include ways to incorporate a little more peace and quiet into our busy lives. But if shaking it off a la Taylor Swift isn’t quite your thing, you can still find ways to step back from this digital world without ever missing a beat.

After attending a retreat in the Sahara last year, Lucy Pearson and Vikki Bates came up with the idea for Unplugged Weekend (£250;unpluggedweekend.com ). At their three-day retreats in the British countryside, participants trade smartphones for smarter life choices: exercise, art and face-to-face conversation, as well as tips and tricks on regaining balance. Life hacks include weaning yourself off social media by logging off sites on multiple platforms and turning off notifications to minimize distractions.

“People don’t think they are addicted to technology because it’s so ingrained in our everyday life,” says Ms. Bates, who sets specific times for checking email. In California, Camp Grounded (campgrounded.org ) offers similar experiences.

Niall Campbell, an addiction consultant at London treatment center Priory Hospital, says those concerned about the amount of time they’re spending on technology should ask themselves a key question: How are the things you’re doing impacting your life?F INDUSTRIES

“People don’t often recognize the effect their behavior has on them and those around them,” says Mr. Campbell. He concedes that identifying an addiction to technology is difficult, but adds that “as the access to technology becomes easier, it will become more apparent.” At Priory, Internet addiction treatment for those with significant issues includes an individual rehabilitation program that costs around £1,500 for 10 to 15 sessions. ( priorygroup.com )

monastery might be your ticket to unplugging this year. In Wales, Caldey Abbey’s St. Philomena guesthouse ( caldey-island.co.uk ) offers a respite from the vicissitudes of the modern world. Open from Easter until October, the retreat center on Caldey Island keeps in line with Cistercian practices: visitors are asked to work, helping clean up and making their beds, and payment is by donation.

At Assisi Retreats in Italy, you can sign up for six-day guided or self-guided retreats at the four-star country villa. The program includes morning and evening meditation, with time in the day to head into town, where reminders of that great contemplative, St. Francis, abound. The four guest rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and meals aren’t included. (From €635 for guided retreat with accommodation; assisiretreats.org )

But you don’t have to travel miles to reassess your relationship with technology. Some of the most effective ways to digitally detox are, not surprisingly, the simplest: Buy an old-fashioned alarm clock, take a bath, switch to paper (remember those things we call books?), play a game.

After attending Unplugged Weekend last summer, Berni Britton says she’s cut back on the time she spends on her phone. “I don’t text people straight back,” she says, “and we play board games or talk more in the house.”

Back at London Meditation, I haven’t heard the ding of a text arriving in hours. But I’m feeling less anxious about the lack of constant updates. I find the silent break, where we eat snacks and drink tea on our own, utterly refreshing and my fears of five hours becoming an eternity have faded. In fact, I’m surprised at how quickly time passes as we’re guided through this taster course on meditation. As we get ready to leave, Ms. Herrmann sends us off with some advice: “You shouldn’t do body shaking in public.” No worries there. The second I’m out the door, I check my phone. No messages.

Addicted to Technology? Four Classic Types of Over-Users

THE OVERSHARER

Diagnosis: My dog just barked! My cat just meowed. :) ;) <3 The oversharer seems to have no internal filter, posting anything and everything that crosses their mind almost instantly. They are also very fond of sharing the results of the latest online quiz they’ve taken, from “What country should you live in?” to “What ‘Frozen’ character are you?”

Remedy: Out of all the online addicts, these need the most help. Remove smartphone and other devices—prying them from their hands if necessary—until they seek medical attention.

THE LIKER

Diagnosis:Liking everything on Facebook and Instagram, or favoriting tweet after tweet can become an addiction. It’s just so good and so easy! From a link about the latest burger joint to open to random posts from childhood friends they haven’t seen since 1981, the liker will like it every time.

Remedy: Every time you hit that Like button, put aside a dollar. At the end of the week, give all the money to the person you like the least.

THE REFRESHER

Diagnosis: In a constant state of expectation, the refresher can’t help checking their work inbox incessantly. At home, it’s no better; phone in hand wherever they are, they tap Mail, Twitter, Instagram and news feeds in an endless cycle. Online, they refresh and refresh pages as if some big news or something out of this world is about to happen. The sad reality is it rarely does.

Remedy: Stop, in the name of love, before you break your phone. Think it o-o-over.

THE COMMENTATOR

Diagnosis: Can’t see a Facebook post without adding a comment? Feel the need to be the first to made a witty statement about that cute cat dressed like a giraffe? Just HAVE to share the best video in the whole entire world? Then we’re talking to you. Sadly, you’re too busy commenting to notice.

The Business of Human Well being: What Does It Mean To Be A Volunteer? 09-21

The Business of Human Well being: What Does It Mean To Be A Volunteer?

DNA OF SUCCESS   

In November last year, nearly 200 entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs aspiring to scale up their business and personal capabilities came together to attend a very special business leadership program called INSIGHT: The DNA of Success. Designed by Sadhguru and facilitated by Dr. Ram Charan, globally renowned CEO Coach, the panel comprised some of the most successful names from the Indian business sphere, including KV Kamath and GM Rao.

The second edition of the program will be underway during 23-26 November 2013 at Isha Yoga Center. Leading up to this exciting event, we have been bringing you a video series called “The Business of Wellbeing”. As part of the panel discussions at INSIGHT 2012, Sadhguru was interviewed by Inderjit Gupta, former Editor of Forbes India magazine. In this video, Sadhguru talks about what it means to be a volunteer.

Inderjit Gupta, former Editor of Forbes India:

Truly, I’ve been amazed by the experience (of INSIGHT). I mean the whole attention to detail, the sheer planning that seems to have gone in. It’s truly extraordinary, the fact that this program is being run and managed by a team of volunteers, young volunteers, who seem to have done a extraordinary job of creating a very, very unique experience. Sadhguru, I was hoping you could help us understand what it takes to run a volunteer program of this kind. What does it take to infuse passion and purpose in these young volunteers?

Sadhguru:

Essentially, volunteering means to become willing, or in other words to become an absolute yes to life. Most human beings are “yes” if it’s convenient, “no” when it’s not convenient; “yes” if it’s yielding something, “no” if it’s not yielding something for them. A volunteer means there’s only one thing that he’s dropped, which is a very significant thing, he’s just dropped this one calculation, “What can I get?” If a human being drops this one calculation, “What can I get out of this?”… if he drops that, suddenly he becomes a phenomenon. This is something that I am constantly demonstrating to people, what our volunteers can do.

This is a small program for us. If you see our major events… for example,Mahashivaratri is approaching – over one million people will be there, through the night, from evening six to morning six. Or if you look atProject GreenHands or the Rural Rejuvenation programs… or just about anything that’s been done here.

Or, for example, the Dhyanalinga dome. The dome is made in such a way, there is no cement, there is no steel, there’s no concrete. This is a simple technology: all the bricks are trying to fall down at the same time, so they cannot. It’s like everybody is trying to get out of the door and they cannot – unless one person has the courtesy to move back. Then they will go. But the bricks don’t have courtesy. So, they all keep on trying to come down and they cannot come down. So for this to happen, it took 1.8 lakh bricks to build that. These 180,000 bricks – every one of them was measured to the millimeter by the volunteers. If somebody is a little lax, somebody puts a brick which is two millimeters less than what it should be, the whole thing may collapse. So I sat down and I spoke to them, “See, this is what it means. This is what I’m placing in your hands. You never handled a brick in your life, but you have got to measure like this.” And men, women, children sat down, day and night and they measured, and they measured, and they measured… and they laid these bricks. I’m giving you just one example. Any number of things like this have been done.

What is it that fires them? There is something beyond passion, there is something beyond motivation, there is something beyond profit, which is very significant for a human being, which generally most human beings never explore. Their whole life remains within certain expectations of profit, some passion towards it, some intensity. But volunteers live an intense life…

This is the greatest blessing: that you constantly live among people who are intense, focused and willing to give themselves to what needs to happen. This the greatest pleasure a man can have. This is the greatest fortune a man can have. And fortunately, we have it.
