Opinion of Scientific Community Some of the complementary therapies may be like a harmless fashion or may be a mass hysteria but…. . Alternative systems of medicine like Ayurved definitely opens new horizons for prevention and cure of diseases.

The Approach Conventional medicine regards body as a machine like a computer or a jumbo jet CAM thinks that healthy body is a system in balance The whole body is a self regulating extended network

According to Cam Experts … Network Pathologies arise when The body self-organises in response to some disturbance but becomes confused and ends up worse at self regulation than before Irritable bowel syndrome and Chronic fatigue syndrome are examples of primary network pathologies

Who Warning Depression will be world’s most debilitating disease by 2005 after heart ailments. By 2015, it may be first. Psychology is going to be the subject of future for students

How to meditate Select something to focus upon: A candle flame, a flower, your deity, Himalayas or ocean. Focus on your breath by counting each inhalation and exhalation.

How to meditate * You can also focus on sound of Aum or Mantra or a meaningful word or phrase. OR * Mentally recite mantra in synchrony with your breathing. Even 20 minutes of inner equipoise is enough to give you inner peace and freshness.

The Need is…. To use in this 21 st century all therapies in balance Combine the physical, mind-body and nonlocal approaches for better health to all
