Sound sleep key to holistic lifestyle

The moving spirit behind a paradise on earth for mind, body, and soul, the two experts addressed 200 plus gathering on ‘Holistic Wellbeing’. Addressing a press conference Dr Chandan said, “Sleep deprivation is turning out to be global epidemic”.

People across the globe are taking sleep for granted and are not sleeping sufficiently for the prescribed six to eight hours a day. By sacrificing sleep, they are changing biological clock.”

Reset, relax, rejuvenate and detox; allow time to heal. So, resting sufficiently is important and very critical. Sahara, vihara, sleep, and Brahmacharya must be practiced in appropriate doses. Don’t overuse or misuse. When the mind is at ease, brain waves relax and rejuvenate it,” said Dr Chandan.

Roma Singh shared how one could meditate and relax the mind. “You can bring whatever the changes you wish to bring into your life. Many people do not use the power that they have. That is why they go through confusion, problems and sickness.”

“Everybody is in a hurry. Everybody wants to do fast. Did you ever hear somebody saying do it slowly, take it easy? Never. Do anything you like. If you do anything against your wish, it adds to stress,” said Dr Chandan.

“Eat up to the three-fourths of your appetite. Not fill it or overeat. Have good eight hours’ sleep. It is a must to test the internal system. Exercise in the morning to half of your energy. Get into sleep cycle,” Dr Chandan added.

Two million spa professionals are required across the globe. There is a dearth of holistic medical professionals. The government must make adequate arrangements for alternative therapy education and also improve holistic well-being infrastructure. More vocational training is required, suggested experts.
