According to Vedic texts the connection between mother and baby is very strong. Therefore, the mother’s diet, mood, and emotions affect the baby. If the mother is feeling well, the baby feels well. It is so important that the mother be happy and healthy, for then the baby will be happy and healthy, and will have the, best possible start in life.

Vedas also say when the baby is showered with love, affection and care, it infuses baby’s radiant life force with vitality. It is the parent’s responsibility to protect the baby from the negative influences present in this world and surround the baby with positive energy. Good parenting involves love and careful attention to the needs of the new born in order to achieve holistic development of the new born.

Ancient scriptures like Vedas prescribe mantras for the health, well-being and the development of the new born child. Vedic sounds have a profound effect on the listener’s body. Vedic sounds in the form of mantras or chants from a specific branch of Vedic literature that corresponds to the appropriate area of the body helps in restoring health and well being of the person.

Mantras given by the sages of India are a wonderful spiritual legacy to mankind. Mantras are subtle vibrations that protect those who chant them. These vibrant waves of sound energy release spiritual forces that confer victory in all endeavors. Chanting mantras and listening to chants puts the individual at the centre of positive energies that bring the blessings of life.

Since ancient times, it has been known that a new born child adopts impressions from its surroundings and starts learning things as soon as it is born. The Vedic sound vibrations stimulate the baby’s senses and mind, and promote receptiveness. These mantras make the baby feel safe, secure and protected. The mantras showers energy on the baby for a healthy growth and development at all levels.

The birth and growth of good offspring is one of the greatest blessings of life. It is the beginning of a life long process to understand your baby. Start with the right steps and embark into a happy process for life.

The Vedic mantras showers energy on the baby for a healthy growth and development at all levels. Be receptive and open to the mantras. Let them pervade and permeate into every cell of your body. Submerge yourself in the peace and tranquility that emanates from the mantras.

The early years in a baby’s life are the best for parents to make the baby feel wanted, appreciated, stimulated and comforted. This will help the baby to develop its own unique identity. Empathy, to care, to share, and a host of other fundamental values are formed in infancy and early childhood. Nurturing at this stage helps the baby to create a strong bond with the parents, aiding baby to reach its full potential in later years. A secure environment for a new born baby lays a strong foundation for life with an eagerness to learn, to be self-aware, to develop trust and to be considerate towards others. An insecure existence during infancy leads to lack of self confidence and inability to relate to others.
Bonding and attachment happen instinctively between mothers and babies, but, unfortunately, loving your baby doesn’t automatically result in secure attachment. Secure attachment develops from your ability to manage your stress, respond to your baby’s cues, and successfully soothe your infant.

A secure attachment bond teaches your baby to trust you, to communicate their feelings to you, and eventually to trust others as well. As you and your baby connect with one another, your baby learns how to have a healthy sense of self and how to be in a loving, empathetic relationship. Secure attachment causes the parts of your baby’s brain responsible for social and emotional development, communication, and relationships to grow and develop in the best way possible. This relationship becomes the foundation of your child’s ability to connect with others in a healthy way.

Our ancient Vedic text says developing the emotional intelligence of a baby is possible by stimulating the babies’ brain during infancy. A child with a high emotional intelligence is better able to cope with his feelings, soothe himself, understand and relate well to other people, and form strong friendships than a child whose emotional intelligence is less well developed. Listening to Vedic chants or mantras helps in stimulating the baby’s brain thus achieving well developed emotional intelligence in the child.

Do you know that along with parents love the baby can also be introduced to Vedic mantras for nurturing and well being? So what do Vedic texts have to say on nurturing the newborn?

Everyone experiences anxiety from time to time – it is a normal human emotion, after all. We feel nervous or anxious at work, before a big exam or when making crucial decisions in our life.

For some, however, anxiety goes beyond being just a passing feeling. Instead, it causes such great distress that affects their ability to live a normal life. This is when anxiety becomes a disorder.

Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling, while severe anxiety can be extremely debilitating, having a serious impact on daily life.

However, the good news is that no matter what the reason of anxiety is, one can manage or handle it effectively. Conversely, if ignored, anxiety can become devastating and unmanageable.

Scientists have placed increasing emphasis on the science of telomeres over the past decade, as they continue to uncover how these zipper-like structures that bind our genetic destiny can prematurely shorten in response to environmental and lifestyle factors. Prior studies have found that our telomeres

The exact cause of anxiety disorders is still unknown, but has been linked to chemical imbalances in the brain, as well as environmental stressors – or a combination of the two.

There are many external factors that may contribute to anxiety. These include: stress from school, stress in a personal relationship, stress at work, financial stress, stress that results from an emotional trauma such as the loss of a loved one, victimization by crime, a natural disaster, sexual abuse or physical abuse, side effects of medication, stress form a serious illness, intoxication with an illicit drug like amphetamines or cocaine, noticing symptoms of a severe medical illness, and lack of oxygen (as a result of emphysema, pulmonary embolism, altitude sickness).

Ayurveda states that to be free from anxiety the emotional state as well as the mental state of a patient must be balanced and should be in equilibrium. The reason behind the anxiety disorders in Ayurveda is the unhealthy adaptation of physical and mental type leading into the mental imbalance. The improper diet and life style that leads the disturbed state of mind causes the negative feelings that overwhelm the mind.

Research on the physiology of anxiety-related illness is still young, but there is growing evidence of mutual influence between emotions and physical functioning. Yet anxiety often goes unidentified as a source of other disorders, such as substance abuse or physical addiction that can result from attempts to quell feelings of anxiety and it is often overlooked in chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or migraine headache.

Nearly two-thirds of the estimated 57 million adults with anxiety disorders are women. What people with these disorders have in common is unwarranted fear or distress that interferes with daily life. Anxiety also plays a role in somatoform disorders, which are characterized by physical symptoms such as pain, nausea, weakness, or dizziness that have no apparent physical cause.

Anxiety has now been implicated in several chronic physical illnesses, including heart disease, chronic respiratory disorders, and gastrointestinal conditions. When people with these disorders have untreated anxiety, the disease itself is more difficult to treat, their physical symptoms often become worse, and in some cases they die sooner.

Whether in small doses or in larger amounts with an anxiety disorder, anxiety can cause multiple physical symptoms. Many of the effects of anxiety on the body can make the patient feel ill.

Occasionally, the physical effects of anxiety can be really inconvenient and embarrassing. For example, a businessman anxious about meeting people may find that his palms are damp with perspiration, and this can make personal introductions and shaking hands into an ordeal. (If you shake hands with someone whose palms are sweating, you know he is anxious – and it simply isn’t very pleasant, anyway).

Anxiety can make you more fearful, alert, on edge, irritable, and unable to relax or concentrate. You may feel an overwhelming desire to seek the reassurance of others, to be weepy and dependent.

The way you think can be affected. If you fear that the worst is going to happen, you may start to see everything negatively and become very pessimistic. For example, if a friend is late, you may imagine and worry that he or she has had an accident or does not want to see you; even though your friend may simply be late because their train was delayed.

New research findings suggest that the way emotions are regulated can influence if or how much a person may suffer from anxiety. Those who engage in an emotional regulation strategy called reappraisal also tended to have less social anxiety and less anxiety in general than those who avoid expressing their feelings. (Emotion, published online May 13, 2013)

As you may have discovered from your own experience, anxiety can develop almost anywhere and at any time.

Treating anxiety is possible. For successful anxiety treatment it is important to use a variety of techniques and find out which ones are effective for you. No single technique will work for everyone. Often the healing process does take time. With stress and anxiety, healing is not something that you do once and then are finished. Usually symptoms are recurrent. They go away for a while and then come up again.

Living with anxiety is never easy. Situations that others can sail through without a thought can be crippling to someone with anxiety. The pharmaceutical drug regime has concocted an assortment of anti-anxiety medications, but many users report these drugs only mask symptoms, cause uncomfortable side.

If you really want to effectively manage your anxiety, the key is to accept it. This might sound counterintuitive. But anxiety, “in and of itself,” is not the real problem. Instead, it is our attempts at controlling and eliminating it. Not accepting these unwanted inner experiences is the actual source of so much of our self-induced suffering.

Accepting anxiety does not mean “resigning ourselves to a life of anxious misery. It simply means that we are better off recognizing and fully accepting the existence of anxiety and other uncomfortable emotional states that are inevitable, but transitory.

So if you experience anxiety today, simply observe it. Think of it like a wave of the ocean, allow it to come in, experience it, and ride it out.

Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. However, when it gets out of control it can become destructive. Uncontrollable anger can lead to serious problems at work and in personal relationships, and may undermine the individual’s overall quality of life.

Outbursts of anger may trigger heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular problems in the two hours immediately afterwards, according to the first study to systematically evaluate previous research into the link between the extreme emotion and all cardiovascular outcomes.

The study — a systematic review and meta-analysis — published in the European Heart Journal, found that in the two hours immediately after an angry outburst, a person’s risk of a heart attack (myocardial infarction (MI) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS) increased nearly five-fold (4.74%), the risk of stroke increased more than three-fold (3.62%), and the risk of ventricular arrhythmia also increased compared to other times when they were not angry.

The researchers found that the absolute risk increased if people had existing risk factors such as a previous history of cardiovascular problems, and the more frequently they were angry.

The ancient doctrine Varnashrama Dharma, describes duties to be performed according to the system of four varnas (social divisions) and four ashramas (stages in life). The varnas are the four classes of society viz Brahmins, Khatriyas, Vyshyas and Sudras. The four ashramas are as follows.

Brahmacharya which is the learning phase, where one is educated in academics and skills to help him/ her make a living later, Grahastha which is the worldly phase when a person enters into a family life through experience and shoulders responsibilities in this phase, Vanaprastha which is the retirement phase when one has fulfilled most of his worldly duties and handed over the reins to subsequent generations, and Sanyasa, which is the phase of renunciation and deliverance from the world. It is important to note here that Vanaprastha doesn

Today, one in every three marriages in the US ends up in a divorce. India is not far behind. People seek help when the family is already falling apart. Selfishness and inability to compromise seem to be the key reasons why families crumble. People expect the family and its members to live life in a certain manner based on their own pre-conceived notions. This could be disastrous for families and the society at large, if people fail to see the family as an embodiment of spirituality, where each one respects the other and helps the other grow. In order to have your ideal family, it is imperative to take some time to design it the way you as a family would want it and define the family values that you live with and perpetuate it.
