Pranic Therapy Vii

Pranic Therapy Part VI

All the four forces in the Universe – weak nuclear force, strong nuclear
force, electricity & magnetism -are but different manifestations of
that Unitary power which the Vedists call Prana. Using this Vital Energy
to heal is called Pranic Therapy. This article is a continuation of the
earlier article Pranic Therapy Part V.

Integral Life & the Universal Stream of Consciousness, Prana

Never in the integral view developed in ancient India was life regarded
as restricted to certain cellular activities. Rather, life is a Universal
stream of Consciousness known as Prana in the Upanishads &
Consciousness- Force ( Chit Shakti ) in the Tantras. Each living being
represents a centre around which Prana moves at different levels known
as sheaths ( koshas). At the core of this multistoreyed personality
structure is the locus of the Self, known as the Atman.The Upanishads
state that just as the spokes of a wheel are fixed at the hub, so also
Prana and all psycho-physical structures are fixed in the Self. The
Self ( Atman ) is the Master Controller of Life that Western science
is seeking. The Vijnanamaya Kosha ( Intellectual Sheath) & the
Anandamaya Kosha ( Bliss Sheath ) are the sheaths where the light
of the Self is experienced.

The unattached Self, exercises its power through the Will ( known
as Dhrti), which in Yogic psychology is regarded as the dynamic aspect of
intelligence. With the help of the pure Will, a Yogi is able to keep all his
sense organs, all activities and mind under control, says the Geetha.
Acquisition of this pure will is the result of a Spiritual Awakening. This
Awakening, which takes place only through prolonged & intense spiritual
struggles, opens the divine door in the heart. This gives the yogi access
to all kosas or the five sheaths. He gains the capacity to open each kosa
to the stream of the Cosmic Prana. The stream of universal life flushes
out impurities & diseases from the personality system and brings in new
vigour and strength.

The world is overcome, aye even here,
By such that fix their faith on Unity
The sinless Brahma ( Absolute ) dwells in Unity,
And they in Brahma ( Absolute )! ( The Song Celestial )

The Cause all Disease – “Fault of Awarenes”

Intense striving alone can pave the way for this kind of yogic self-
mastery. But an inner alertness & some degree of general
supervision over all his activites such as eating, sleeping,exercise,
response to stressful situations etc can be attained by anyone.
It is failure of this inner watchfulness, known as Prajnaparadha or
“Fault of Awareness “, caused by ignorance and negligence that
makes a person yield to evil thoughts and deeds that is the root
cause of all diseases. .

Of the triune attributes of Nature – Rajas, Thamas and Satwa
( humanity, bestiality, divinity ), both Rajas ( humanity ) & Thamas
( bestiality ) are pathogenic. Satwa is non-pathogenic meaning
that living in rhythm with Nature can save us from diseases.

Charaka Samhita, an authentic treaitse on Ayurveda states
“The disturbance of the three humours are caused by Prajnapara-
dha, produced by the distortion of the intellect, will & memory ” .
Some of the aetiological factors are carelessness, lack of alertness,
forgetfulness & misuse of will power.The root cause of most of
the psychosomatic or constitutional disorders is Prajnaparadha,
the misuse of our cognitive and conative faculties. It is our
unconscious way of living, not in conformity with natural law, that
is the primary cause of illness.

Health can be restored by changing our way of living to a Self-
directed style. Hyperacidity, rheumatism, irritable bowel
syndrome and similar disorders are the body’s alarm signals
We can bring about integration of the personality if we extend our
Consciousness into the interior parts of the body & bring these
neglected areas closer to the light of the Self. This integration
fortifies our immune system and restores the coordination,
rhythm and balance in the working of the different organs. This
kind of extension of Consciousness can be done in different ways.

Extension of Consciousness by Meditation

The inner awareness which is the result of absorption in Meditation
can be extended into the affected part of the body through concentrative
visualization. If these meditative techniques are practised for some
days, the process of self-renewal & self-defence gets accelerated
and healing takes place automatically.

The Triune Meditation- ( Physical, Verbal & Mental )

Reverence for preceptors,continence, nonviolence – these constitute
Physical Meditation.

Speaking kind words, adherence to Truth, Self-study – these constitute
Verbal Meditation.

Cheerfulness, humility, silence, purity of heart – these constitute Mental
Meditation

Maintaining Yin-Yang balance

Everything in Life has opposites, Yin-Yang. (Yin is expansion and Yang
is contraction ). The most common yin-yang imbalance is stress arousal.
Stress arousal increases the adrenaline & cortisol levels which inhibits
the immune system. Stress is misplaced effort & takes away the energy
required for healing.

Ultradian healing response is the second major yin-yang balance. Every
one and a half to 2 hours , our mind-body goes through a period of
daydream or slowing called the ‘Ultradian healing response’. We are
neglecting our healing cycle if we artificially keep perked up with coffee,
cigarettes, alcoholism or workaholism. Daydreaming, meditation &
quiet time allows us to take advantage of this Ultradian healing cycle.

The foundation of Life – The Superconscient

Modern Psychology & Psychoanalysis deals with the Subconscious &
Unconscious. Aurobindo averred that the Superconscient and not the
Subconscient is the foundation of life. The Fourfold Yoga is the science
of the Superconscious Mind. The mind via meditation opens up to the
Superconscient and healing takes up automatically.

Jung spiritualised Psycho-Analysis and was not an atheist like Freud.
Modern psychology is an infant science, rash, fumbling and crude. In
it the universal habit of the human mind, to highlight a half-truth and
generalise it unduly, runs riot here. Freudian psychoanalysis is half-
knowledge & half-knowledge is dangerous & can be an impediment
in the realisation of Absolute Truth. Neither the Subconscious
(which modern psychology highlights) – nor the Unconscious (which
Psychoanalysis highlights) are the important elements.The Supercon-
scious, and not the subconscious ( or the Unconscious ) is the
foundation of Life. The science of the Superconscient is Yoga
( whose Western equivalent is Free Masonry.) The Superconscient
is our evolutionary future as the subconscient was our evolutionary past.

A Summary Of Recent Appellate Decisions From Pennsylvania (September 2006)

Pennsylvania State Court Decisions

1. Civil Litigation

1.1. Automobile Insurance

1.1.1. “Cars for Hire”

Supreme Court

1.1.2. Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Arbitration

Superior Court

f The Hartford Ins. Co. v. O’Mara, 2006 PA Super 236 (August 29, 2006)

Holding: Under the Uniform Arbitration Act of 1980, when the application or construction of an insurance policy provision is at issue, the dispute is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the arbitrators. A court will take jurisdiction only when the claimant attacks a particular provision as: (1) contrary to a constitutional, legislative or administrative mandate; (2) against public policy; or, (3) unconscionable.

f Nationwide Insurance Co. v. Schneider, 2006 PA Super 219 (August 17, 2006)

Holding: Section 1733 of the MVFRL specifies the priority for recovery of underinsured motorist benefits, but neither mentions nor requires exhaustion of limits. When an insured settles a claim in contravention of a policy’s consent-to-settle clause, an insurer must show that its interests are prejudiced.

1.1.3. Subrogation

* Supreme Court

f Wirth v. Aetna U.S. Healthcare, No. 28 EAP 2005 (August 22, 2006)

Holding: Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Health Maintenance Organization Act, 40 P.S. § 1560(a), a health maintenance organization is exempt from complying with the anti-subrogation provision of the Pennsylvania Motor Financial Responsibility Law.

1.2. Medical Malpractice Claims

1.2.1. MCARE Act

* Superior Court

f McManamon v. Washko, 2006 PA Super 245 (August 31, 2006)

Holding: The Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error Act does not apply to injuries not caused by medical negligence.

1.3. Sovereign Immunity

1.3.1. Real Property & Sidewalks Exceptions

* Commonwealth Court

f Reid v. City of Philadelphia, No. 1572 C.D. 2005 (August 3, 2006)

Holding: A street owned by a municipality that is designated a Commonwealth highway continues to be owned by the municipality. If a person is injured on a municipal sidewalk that adjoins a designated highway, the municipality remains the owner of the sidewalk and the sidewalk is, therefore, within the “right of way” of a street owned by the municipality for purposes of analyzing governmental immunity under the Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act.

f LoFurno v. Garnet Valley School District, No. 2082 C.D. 2005 (May 3, 2006)

Holding: A belt sander, designed to be bolted to the floor, that is not hardwired or permanently attached to the floor or to a dust collection system, is personalty, and not a fixture under the real property exception to governmental immunity under the Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act.

2. Civil Procedure

2.1. Appeal

2.1.1. Conflict Between Federal & Pennsylvania Law

* Superior Court

f Trombetta v. Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., 2006 PA Super 229 (August 22, 2006)

Holdings: 1.The standards of review of an arbitration award under the Pennsylvania Uniform Arbitration Act are not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA).

2. The standards of review under the FAA cannot preempt the Pennsylvania standards for review of arbitration awards unless the Pennsylvania standards of review frustrate the underlying objectives of the FAA because standards of review are an inherently procedural mechanism used to facilitate judicial resolution of controversies after the underlying arbitration agreement has been enforced in accordance with the FAA.

3. Common law arbitration standards of review do not violate the core objective and principles underlying the FAA. Pennsylvania law governs the question of whether parties can impose de novo review on trial courts by virtue of contractual agreements.

4. De novo review clauses contained in arbitration agreements are unenforceable as a matter of law in Pennsylvania.

f Joseph v. Advest, Inc., 2006 PA Super 213 (August 8, 2006)

Holding: The provision of the Federal Arbitration Act permitting a party three months to challenge an arbitration award is procedural. Pennsylvania’s 30-day deadline (under either the Uniform Arbitration Act or common law arbitration) for contesting arbitration awards applies to such appeals, and appeals filed more than 30 days after the entry of the award are untimely.

2.2. Capacity to Sue

* Superior Court

f George Stash & Sons v. New Holland Credit Co., LLC, 2006 PA Super 206 (August 2, 2006)

Holding: The Fictitious Name Act provides that an entity that fails to register its fictitious name shall not be permitted to maintain any action in a Pennsylvania tribunal. Where, as here, a person or entity knows the identity of the persons with whom he or she is dealing, he cannot assert the lack of capacity to sue under the Fictitious Name Act.

2.3. Collateral Source Rule

* Superior Court

f Simmons v. Cobb, 2006 PA Super 222 (August 16, 2006)

Holding: The collateral source rule does not preclude a plaintiff from introducing evidence of the receipt of Social Security Disability benefits. Rather, the collateral source rule, which is intended to protect tort victims, provides that payment from a collateral source shall not diminish the damages otherwise recoverable from the wrongdoer. In this case, plaintiff sought to introduce evidence of receipt of SSD benefits.

2.4. Forum Non Conveniens

* Superior Court

f Wright v. Aventis Pasteur, Inc., 2006 PA Super 203 (August 2, 2006)

Holding: In determining whether to dismiss a case pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5322(e) based on forum non conveniens, the trial court must consider two important factors: (1) a plaintiff’s choice of the place of suit will not be disturbed except for weighty reasons, and (2) no action will be dismissed unless there is an alternative forum available to the plaintiff. As Superior Court acknowledges – this decision diverges from “the apparent trend in recent forum non conveniens decisions … toward dismissing cases brought in Pennsylvania where another forum is available.”

2.5. Interlocutory Appeals

2.5.1. Generally

* Supreme Court

f Pridgen v. Parker Hannifin Corp., Nos. 8 & 9 EAP 2005 (August 22, 2006)

Holding: In order for a trial court Order to be a “collateral order” under Pa.R.A.P. 313 – and appealable as a matter of right – the following three factors must be present:

1. The Order must be separable from and collateral to the main cause of action;

2. The right involved is too important to be denied review and must involve rights deeply rooted in public policy going beyond the particular litigation at hand; and,

3. The question presented is such that if review is postponed until final judgment in the case, the claim will be irreparably lost.

1.1.1. Trade Secrets

* Superior Court

f Crum v. Bridgestone, 2006 PA Super 230 (August 23, 2006)

Holding 1: This decision contains the same holding relating to collateral orders as Pridgen (above).

Holding 2: Pursuant to Section 757(b) of the Restatement (2d) of Torts and Pennsylvania law, in order to determine whether particular information is to be given trade secret status, a court should consider the following factors:

1. The extent to which the information is known outside of the business;

2. The extent to which the information is known by employees and others involved in the business; and,

3. The extent of measures taken to guard the secrecy of the information. Order must be separable from and collateral to the main cause of action.

For a court to determine whether a protective order is appropriate under Pa.R.Civ.P. 4019(a)(9), the discovery standard should embrace both (1) relevance and necessity, and (2) a balancing of need versus harm. Once a party establishes that the information sought is a trade secret, the burden shifts to the requesting party to demonstrate by competent evidence that there is a compelling need for that information and that the necessity outweighs the harm of the disclosure.

1.1. Judgment by Default

* Superior Court

f State Farm Insurance Co. v. Barton, 2006 PA Super 210 (August 7, 2006)

Holding: After a responsive pleading is filed, even if untimely, a judgment by default cannot be entered because the responding party is no longer in default.

1.2. Settlement

* Commonwealth Court

f Brannam v. Reedy, No. 2590 C.D. 2005 (August 14, 2006)

Holding: An evidentiary hearing is required when one party disputes the existence of a settlement agreement or its binding effect, and is the appropriate procedure even when there is a written agreement signed by counsel if it is alleged that counsel lacked the authority to bind his client. There must also be a hearing when a settlement is vacated by court order or enforced by court order. A hearing must be held even if the trial court has “intimate knowledge” of the facts as a result of a pre-hearing conference because a trial court’s recital of facts is not a substitute for a full record. A hearing must also be held, despite filing a petition and answer, even if no party requests one.

1.3. Transfer From Federal Court to State Court

f Falcone v. The Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, 2006 PA Super 241 (August 30, 2006)

Holding: Pursuant to 42. Pa.C.S.A. § 5103, a party may transfer a case from federal court to the appropriate state court when the federal court lacks diversity jurisdiction. The date of the federal filing becomes the date of the state filing for purposes of the applicable statute of limitations. To comply, a party must promptly file a certified transcript of the final judgment of the federal court and related pleadings in a Pennsylvania court or magisterial district. A party does not comply with the statute by filing a new complaint in state court.

2. Unemployment Compensation

2.1. Necessitous and Compelling Reason to Quit

* Commonwealth Court

f Brunswick Hotel & Conference Center, LLC v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review), No. 464 C.D. 2006 (August 23, 2006)

Holding: Elimination of health care benefits constitutes a substantial change in employment terms and serves as a necessitous and compelling reason for a claimant to resign from employment, thus entitling the claimant to unemployment compensation benefits.

3. Workers’ Compensation

3.1. Appellate Review

* Supreme Court

f Trimmer v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Monaghan Township), No. 58 MAL 2006 (August 3, 2006)

Holding: The Commonwealth Court (and presumably the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board) may not substitute its determination of the facts and credibility of witnesses for the Workers’ Compensation Judge’s proper assessments. This per curiam Order summarily reverses the Commonwealth Court’s decision because determination of facts and credibility is solely within the province of the Workers’ Compensation Judge.

3.2. Hearing Loss/Employer Liability

* Commonwealth Court

f Hayduk v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Bemis Co., Inc.), No. 230 C.D. 2006 (August 11, 2006)

Holding 1: When an employer (Company A) purchases the assets, but not the liabilities, of another company (Company B), including the plant where the claimant worked, and the purchase specifically excludes any of Company B’s workers’ compensation liabilities that arose prior to the purchase of the assets, Company A is not liable for any work-related hearing loss that occurred prior to its purchase of Company B.

Holding 2: Under Section 306©(8)(iv) of the Workers’ Compensation Act,audiometric testing for a work-related hearing loss must conform to applicable OSHA standards. It is the employer’s burden, however, to establish that an occupational hearing loss is attributable to a previous employer. When, as here, the employer fails to meet this burden, it remains liable for all of a claimant’s compensable hearing loss.

3.3. Impairment Rating Examinations

* Supreme Court

f Dowhower v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Capco Contracting, Inc.), No. 542 MAL 2003 (August 11, 2006)

Holding: The Supreme Court has granted claimant’s Petition for Allowance of Appeal and will, presumably, address the issue of whether an employer may request an Impairment Rating Examination before the 104-week period in Section 306(a.2)(1) of the Workers’ Compensation Act.

3.4. Physical Examinations

* Commonwealth Court

f Knechtel v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Marriott Corp.), No. 140 C.D. 2006 (August 24, 2006)

Holding: Pursuant to Section 314(a) of the Workers’ Compensation Act, when an employee’s physician attends an employer-requested physical examination, the employee is entitled, at employee’s expense, to have a health care provider of his or her own selection participate in such examination. Participation is limited to attendance and observation.

Life Insurance – Pounds Off For Pounds Lost

It is too easy to view the Americans as a nation of the overweight, but ignore the fact that the citizens of the UK are heading in the same direction. We don’t seem to do too well in sport these days, but look set to be world beaters for weight gain from generation to generation. Statistics issued by a government department always give cause for doubt, but when you take a stroll down your local High Street just look around. It is possible to see indications of the justification for claims that in 18 years time obesity will be a very major problem.

This spells future problems for the health service, as obesity is regarded as excess weight reaching the point where health problems can be the expected outcome. Even today the cost of lost working hours, disability pay and other problems associated with illness due to excess weight is said to be in excess of £20 billion. Take that 18 year leap coupled with the projected statistic that by then 1/3rd of girls and ¼ of boys will be clinically obese, and you get a picture of a grossly unfit nation which will struggle to meet the health demands of its inhabitants.

It is generally accepted that the ‘chubbier’ members of society have to visit their medical practitioner more often than do those with a lower body mass index (BMI), and that there are costs associated with these visits. The NHS claims that obesity problems use around £15 billion of their annual budget – a figure which can be expected to rise steadily for the foreseeable future.

You can be absolutely sure that the providers of life insurance are only too well aware of these facts, impinging as they do on the entire purpose of the services which they provide. In fact this increased awareness is becoming manifest in their approach to overweight clients. They may not even take your word for it that although you struggled to get through their office doorway, you really do only weigh 12 ½ stone. Any sign of a higher BMI is likely to cause a demand for a medical check-up before insurance can be arranged; the results of this check may lead to refusal of cover or a seriously raised increase in premiums.

You should not be too surprised if a set of scales is in evidence in the insurer’s offices. They do not stay in business by taking unnecessary risks, and an immediate weight check defines your excess weight risk factor beyond dispute. They also have to guard against the well known effects of weight loss on memory; typically this is often very evident in the ‘forgotten’ 2 week binge cruise taken since the last weight check which you are now submitting as accurate!

So you need to remember that the more the lb’s weight, the more the £’s on your insurance premium. Critical illness cover may become too expensive to contemplate, or you may well avoid the contemplation by being refused insurance outright. The trouble is that if you are overweight you are more likely to face medical problems and more likely to need insurance, but more likely to be refused,

There is even a mindset now spreading in the NHS which scandalously suggests that obese patients should not receive the same treatment as anyone else i.e. replacement hip or similar surgery should be refused, despite the fact that there can be no ethical basis for denying them this treatment. Strange indeed that some overweight patients, for whom slimming does not work, find that their GPs will provide little in the way of treatment and seem to align themselves with the approach of 50% of hospital doctors. What is it about weight which induces this negative thinking – very often it is not the fault of the patient and is outside their control?

What about the cause? If it is simply eating too much or the wrong type of food (or worse still – both combined) the solution is in your own hands. You should join a slimming club to educate you (and your stomach) in the correct foods and the most suitable quantities of same. You will meet like minded folk who face the same problem and will be able to provide support for each other. The gentle exercise which is often provided will help with fitness as well as weight loss.

If you have tried this route with no success go back and talk to your GP – tell him what you have tried and how it went. Talk about possible surgical solutions to your problem if you are prepared to contemplate this extreme route – many failed slimmers have found it to be a remarkably successful alternative.

Win or lose, you should start looking for a good insurance broker – online is the easy way, although it does rather lack any beneficial exercise – and get your life insurance arranged. Ensure that your policy allows for reductions in premium for reductions in weight, and then imagine your pleasure when you can revisit your broker to request just such a cost reduction!

Good luck with losing those pounds and saving those £’s!

Card Debt Negotiation. Reducing your Credit Card Debt

People these days can easily drown in debts because of the effects they acquire and need to pay at the same time. People take on so many expenses that they do not visualize a future of financial breakdown, and in some critical cases, even bankruptcy.

Credit card debt is the most common type of debt because it is extremely easy to get a hold of several credit cards at once. Because of this, credit card debt negotiation has become more and more popular. People are now realizing that having several credit cards is not always the best way of purchasing something.

Credit card debt negotiation is the most reliable way to reduce credit card debt, lower rates or negotiating for reduced balances. With reduced interest, you can pay off the principal faster with the same monthly payment. The other approach is debt settlement, which eliminates part of your debt at the cost of your credit score.

- How does the credit card debt negotiation process work? -

The credit card debt negotiation process has several steps that will gradually improve the client’s current situation and will deal with the problems that credit card debts bring into a client’s financial life. These are the steps:

1. Transferring balances: The credit card debt negotiation program will first advice the client to move all of his credit card debt into a new one free of charge. The payments will be easy to make and will go directly to the principal amount and no to the interest fees as it always does.

2. Remake deals with creditors: after making the decision of transferring your balances by suggestion of the card debt negotiation counseling team, do not start cancelling accounts until the final bill has been paid because the company could charge a higher interest rate if you close the account having an outstanding balance.

3. Create a personal budget: the card debt negotiation program recommends outlining a personal budget to visualize how to free oneself from debt. People tend to relax after entering the credit card debt negotiation program and start thinking that the counselors will solve his/her problems. That is why some clients take a long time to leave the program. Clients stop paying attention to the offers the counselors get and because of that, the creditors start looking for legal solutions, such as a summons.

- Is there anything else to be done to speed up the card debt negotiation process? -

One of the most important changes people can make in order to speed up the credit card debt negotiation process is learning how to live a normal life without exceeding credit card use. As we mentioned before, the average US citizen has 4 to 5 credit cards, but a single source of income. What people do not realize is that every credit card can hold their interest charges and monthly fees. Not everything has to be paid with credit cards, and that is one of the main objectives of the card debt negotiation program: teach people when and how to use credit cards.

Credit card debt negotiation acts as debt settlement, but this procedure is usually followed in the case of unsecured loans. In this process, a borrower can quench his credit card debt burden. Some times borrowers can get help from various debt settlement agencies in order to negotiate with lenders.

Credit card debt negotiation is a unique program that enables borrowers to manage their credit card debts properly. In order to reduce the unnecessary burden and stay away from all sorts of debt trouble, the credit card debt negotiation program is the ultimate solution that one can opt for.

We have different articles on interesting topics and current and former clients’ experiences with our programs. Take a look at the different situations on Card Debt Negotiation and related topics that people can fall into and how to keep yourself a debt free person.
