I
am a Mechanical Engineer from India,
born 1942. Retired as Deputy General Manger
(Engineering)/ Adviser from a large paper mill, in the state
of Andhra
Pradesh, South India. I
have been
in the USA since
2003. Myself and
my wife live in East Greenbush, Albany NY, with our daughter and
granddaughter.
Our daughter, Padma
Sripada is a Doctor (Internal Medicine)
with her own practice in East Greenbush NY.
From
zero exposure to any such
methods, I could learn and practice ‘Counting
Breaths’ and complementary
methods by reading some books, at the late age of 57.
I
gained benefits for my Mind and Body beyond my dreams. I have
been
teaching these methods as a part time activity, during 2002 in
India and since 2003, in Albany NY.
Well known
relaxation practices, popularly known as meditation practices, though very
effective, demand specially alloted time,
intense effort and belief, from beginners like me. We are unable to relate the teacher's thoughts
to our own current thinking and daily routine. We can't meet the high
expectations of regularity and sinciarity. Consequently, we do not
even attempt such practices, or begin some practice in all earnestness and
drop out, on the pretext of lack of time. Unaware, we
accumulate stress, develop diseases, lose
productive lives and develop some addictions.
‘Counting
Breaths’ suits people of all ages, cultures and
professions. It enables all
the practitioners gain definite control over stress. It has given
remarkable
results for
some people. If
we introduce this method to
children at about 8 years, their lives will be
far
better. From several ongoing programs and those completed past few years, I find that it is very easy to
train children in this method. They feel the need for an easy tool like this and embrace it readily.
They immediately put it into practice on their own and enjoy
it's benefits.
If
you are convinced about the potential of 'Counting Breaths',
share it with your circle of contacts - family, friends and work
mates. Teach to children in a simple manner. Let me know, if you
need
more information.
