HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING - Mind - The Never resting Machine In our earlier blog posts we looked at various aspects of the mind, from the emotional to the action oriented. In this we use the analogy to a machine to help us understand the importance of maintenance and upkeep. The miraculous machine In terms of evolution from a single celled organism to multi celled creatures, humans are at the top of the evolution scale and food chain chain. This evolution has been gradual and over a period of billions of years. The body as a whole is a miracle. The mind is central to this miraculous machine. We touched upon the various functions of the machine, and how it is intertwined with every aspect of life from birth till the end. The mind does not rest even in sleep. This non stop working of the mind without proper care can have serious consequences for an individual. Mind, the machine and it's maintenance - Significance In the earlier post we looked at the information overload that the mi...

HAPPY MIND TO  JOYFUL LIVING -  MIND AND ACTIONS. In the last blog we looked at emotions, it links to the mind and emotional intelligence. In the current blog we shall touch upon the links between mind and the actions that we carry out. Broadly we look into the inner actions and outer actions of the mind. Actions Outward Actions In the current social scenario action is looked upon as one of the most desired qualities in a person. By action people are referring to the outward activities performed by a person. This action can vary from the mundane to "Mission to Mars".

HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING  - Emotional Intelligence & Mind. In our last blog we looked at words, memory links and triggers. In this blog let's explore what is emotion, the link between emotion and mind generally referred to as emotional intelligence and the best way to explore them. Mind and Emotions The experience of life is enriched by the type of emotions we carry. Highly contrasting emotions are triggered within us, while meeting a sweet dumb person or a prickly intelligent person. The emotions which we project and which we are subjected to invariably decide the quality of our life experience. What are Emotions ? Creatures await, the cosmic song and dance, with roaring sounds and piercing lights, to breaks the deep dark silence hanging above. Many colorless drops of lives follow, travelling miles from sky to earth, to nourish the longing creatures below. Another deep red river flows up and down in silence, nourishing the flesh and bones. It dances to a two pace tune, of a...

HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING -  Mind your words - Interpretation In our previous blog we looked at what type of relationship we need to nurture with our mind for the times we live in. In the current and upcoming blogs we look at the aspects of the mind which are deeply personal in nature. Words and its Interpretation It is often said that one of the gifts that distinguishes Humans from animals is the gift of speech and smile. Many times I find myself preoccupied and wondering how communication would happen with the other person if there were no words or languages ? May be communication happens through signs, symbols or through sounds but what would we communicate to the other person? Information, links and memory In present times with the vast information available to us in different forms (words, pictures, videos, animations, etc.) we are constantly exposed to this information and our mind keeps adding this information as memory, in addition to that it builds links to the stored m...

HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING - MIND AND RELATIONSHIP WITH IT - What is mine is not me In the previous blogs we looked at what we mean by exploration of the mind and what mind is.? Also we looked mind and its functions. The mind plays a very key role not only with in the body but also in our life. In the journey of life certain relationships we are born with like the parents sibling's, certain we take on a few (life partner, friends, mentors) and a few others we create (children's of course). More than any other relationship, there are two entities which remain with us always till the end, one is the body and the other mind. A few choose to look at what kind of relationship should I have with the two entities that are with us always.  What type of relation to maintain with the mind ? Its personal In today's age people prefer shooting themselves in the foot rather than letting the other person do it, mind you in both cases the pain is the same, the only saving grace here is p...

Mind a miracle or madness? This is a one among the many blog posts about the mind. In the previous blog we embarked on a journey to explore "Mind Matters". Links to previous topics are given at the end of the blog. Readers are encouraged to go through the previous blogs .  What is mind ? At the outset even an attempt to define what the word "mind" represents an envious adventure. For the purpose of the blog and for the time being let us limit the definition of the mind as an vital organ in the body that performs a set of predefined tasks. What pre defined tasks? The mind is tasked with receiving input from other physical organs like eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue perform a series of action on the information received and stores it.
