Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus.

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations.

There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected.

If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out.

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out.

Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader.

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out. Explore, Experiment and Experience by yourself.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mindfulness: A tool to enhance Personal Effectiveness","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mindfulness-a-tool-to-enhance-personal-effectiveness","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/blogs\/?p=4760","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"2","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":39},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_11"};

\u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out. Explore, Experiment and Experience by yourself.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mindfulness: A tool to enhance Personal Effectiveness","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mindfulness-a-tool-to-enhance-personal-effectiveness","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/blogs\/?p=4760","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"2","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":39},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_11"};

Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other.

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out. Explore, Experiment and Experience by yourself.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mindfulness: A tool to enhance Personal Effectiveness","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mindfulness-a-tool-to-enhance-personal-effectiveness","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/blogs\/?p=4760","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"2","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":39},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_11"};

Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts.

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out.

Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts.

Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


    There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out. Explore, Experiment and Experience by yourself.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mindfulness: A tool to enhance Personal Effectiveness","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mindfulness-a-tool-to-enhance-personal-effectiveness","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/blogs\/?p=4760","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"2","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":39},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_11"};

    Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts.

      Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Five beacons for your leadership journey","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"five-beacons-leadership-journey","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/?p=11138","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4760,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2017-07-30 15:21:01","post_date_gmt":"2017-07-30 09:51:01","post_content":"\n

      Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


      There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out. Explore, Experiment and Experience by yourself.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mindfulness: A tool to enhance Personal Effectiveness","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mindfulness-a-tool-to-enhance-personal-effectiveness","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/blogs\/?p=4760","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"2","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":39},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_11"};

        Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession.

        Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Five beacons for your leadership journey","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"five-beacons-leadership-journey","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/?p=11138","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4760,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2017-07-30 15:21:01","post_date_gmt":"2017-07-30 09:51:01","post_content":"\n

          Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


          There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


            There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out. Explore, Experiment and Experience by yourself.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mindfulness: A tool to enhance Personal Effectiveness","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mindfulness-a-tool-to-enhance-personal-effectiveness","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-29 15:25:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/blogs\/?p=4760","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"2","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":39},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_11"};

              Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Five beacons for your leadership journey","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"five-beacons-leadership-journey","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/?p=11138","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4760,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2017-07-30 15:21:01","post_date_gmt":"2017-07-30 09:51:01","post_content":"\n

                Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


                There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


                  There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                  Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out.

                    Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                    As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


                    There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                    You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                    Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                    Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                    Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out.

                      Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                      Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                      Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                      Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                        Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Five beacons for your leadership journey","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"five-beacons-leadership-journey","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-01-24 11:28:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/?p=11138","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4760,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2017-07-30 15:21:01","post_date_gmt":"2017-07-30 09:51:01","post_content":"\n

                        Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                        As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


                        There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                        Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                        Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Don\u2019t believe me either. Try it out.

                          Adolf Hitler would feature in most lists of leaders of all time, but I would not want to fashion my leadership journey around him, would you? The intent of this post is not to identify the right leader to emulate but define a few guiding lights. Based on my experience and my observation of a few leaders that I have been associated with, I have come up five beacons that could guide us in our journey. Here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Beacon #1: Unified Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Leadership is typically associated with one\u2019s career or profession. Over the years, I have learnt that one has to take leadership in all facets of one\u2019s life \u2013 Professional, Family, Health, Societal, and Spiritual. Success in one area influences the other. Focused effort in any one area demands support from others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Unified Vision for one\u2019s life will help the leader achieve coherence & balance across  all the areas over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Beacon #2: Vision to Action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \u201cA leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn\u2019t go by yourself\u201d \u2013 Joel Barker. \u2018Place\u2019 is the Leader\u2019s Vision \u2013 an image of the future. Strategy tells you how to get there. Action gets you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Many take \u2018Action\u2019 but that does not guarantee that they will realize their vision. Clarity, Focus, Intensity, Courage and Persistence differentiate those who will get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Beacon #3: Take people along<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Inspiring people is very much a significant part of leadership. Connecting with people (not just communicating) and building trust are the foundations on which relationships are built. Relationship is the glue that will hold the group together when the ride gets rough. Leaders with influence not only have well-honed people skills but also become the kind of person people want to be influenced by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          While skills are important, \u2018seeing people as people and caring for them\u2019 (- Arbinger Institute) is the master key to taking them along with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Beacon #4: Who you are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Level of leadership that you reach will be limited by the kind of person you are. Your values & personal qualities like courage, integrity, humility & persistence  will take you to great heights of leadership and also prevent you from falling down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Great leaders have a personal philosophy that acts as a guidance system \u2013 helps them set their sails (- Jim Rohn); Personal philosophy helps to ensure that your behaviour is consistent with who you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Wisdom happens when you take action and learn from that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Beacon #5: Personal Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \u2018Personal Change\u2019 is the toughest internal battle for leaders \u2013 but this is the lever that will help them scale newer heights. It requires awareness of what\u2019s going on around you and self-awareness of what\u2019s going on inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Great leaders are humble \u2013 confident but humble; They are willing to learn from others and take guidance from mentors\/coaches\/gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          I also found that a sense of gratefulness is vital to help you navigate difficult times. Tough situations can feel like a bottomless pit but I found that gratitude often gave me a floor to stand on and catch my breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In a nutshell\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                          Remember these are beacons and not steps in your leadership journey. Leadership is a performing art according to Robert Joss. You cannot just read books or observe people and become a leader. You need to practice and learn from experience; To practice, one needs opportunity; Opportunity comes from seeking and taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          We will elaborate on each of the beacons in upcoming posts.

                          Mindfulness is one of the buzz words in the industry these days. Mindfulness is a technique to bring and keep the mind in the present moment, moment by moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          There are umpteen number of researches done and experiences shared by many people on the benefits of Mindfulness in terms of positive emotions, reduced stress & depressions, improved health and overall happiness. Research has also shown the significant improvements in the mental faculties like memory, concentration, focus and creativity.  Mindfulness is now not only used in therapeutic use but also to enhance leadership qualities and work performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          There are several techniques used to develop Mindfulness. Some of them include Mindfulness Meditation techniques (adopted from Buddhism), Breath watching & breathing techniques, Body scanning & observing body sensations, Mind watching etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          In this article I am going to talk about Sound as a tool to develop Mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          At a basic level bringing attention and listening to sounds around us and within us makes us to be \u2018here & now\u2019 \u2013 in the present moment. One can practice this simple technique of consciously bringing the attention to the sounds in & around oneself \u2013 this will reduce the mindless roaming\/wandering of the mind and brings focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          There is a much larger phenomenon of Sound as a transformation tool for human system. I want to focus on that Sound Technology in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Sound Technology<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Human system is a sophisticated and integrated body-mind-energy complex. Body, mind and energy are inter-connected. It is known that by improving the energy, mind becomes more positive and in turn body becomes healthier; Modern medical research shows that almost 90% of the diseases are psychosomatic \u2013 caused by mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          There are enough scientific researches available now which demonstrate the effect of sound on human system. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Effect of Sound on Water<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Dr Masaru Emoto of IHM Research Institute in Japan (http:\/\/www.masaru-emoto.net\/english\/water-crystal.htm<\/a>) has conducted several experiments and published books on effect of sound on water. He used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) photography on frozen water crystals to carry out these studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"clip_image004\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                          As shown in the pictures above, the crystals of normal water before the sound experiment showed amorphous, dull crystal formations. Same water, after certain sounds (and even just thoughts), formed into beautiful symmetric crystals with vibrant aura around them. This demonstrates the phenomenal effect of sound on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          It is medically known that 70% of our body is water \u2013 now imaging the effect of sound on our system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Cymatics \u2013 Sound Visualization<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


                          There are many different patterns that are observed for different kinds of sounds. For example, for a Rock Music it creates a very complex pattern. For the sound Om (AUM), it creates a simple oval\/elliptical form as shown in the picture.Cymatics is a technology through which one can visualize the patterns for every sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Through modern science we know that from atomic level to cosmic level everything is ellipsoid in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Most advanced modern science, String Theory, shows that everything in the existence is a manifestation of vibrations. As shown in the Cymatics instrument, sound Om (AUM) creates the most fundamental vibration in the existence, creating attunement with the Creation. That is why Om (AUM) is considered as primordial sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Technology of Om (AUM)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Try out this simple experiment: Sit with your back straight and palms rested on your laps facing upward; close the eyes and utter the sounds Aaaa, Uuuu (Oooo) and Mmmm. As you make these sounds one at a time, observe where you feel the vibrations in your body. You will notice that Aaaa creates vibrations at the pit of the stomach; Uuuu at chest\/throat level and Mmmm at Head level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"clip_image008\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                          You might have heard\/read about great leaders making decisions with Head, Heart & Gut \u2013 using all the intelligences \u2013 Intellectual Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and Intuitive Intelligence. Now there are many Western Leadership\/Management books on Multiple-Intelligences. Sound AUM is a simple technique to enhance multiple intelligences leading to better choice\/decision making in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Technology of Sanskrit<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          With the awareness of sound vibrations, now if you pay attention to the sounds of Sanskrit alphabets (and all Indian Languages), you will notice that there is a very scientific structure behind them. The Vowels A, Aa, \u2026 U, Uu, \u2026 Mm does not need tongue to make the sound; it starts at the pit of the stomach, comes up to chest\/throat and goes up to head. If you observe the Consonants, Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, ..the tongue pressure starts at the lower throat level; for Cha, Chha, Ja, Jha, \u2026 the tongue pressure comes at upper throat level; for Ta, Tha, Da, Dha, .. the tongue pressure comes at mouth palette (ceiling in the mouth) level; for Tha Thha, Dha, Dhha, .. it comes to teeth level and for Pa, Pha, Ba, Bha, \u2026 it comes to lip level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"clip_image010\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                          Combinations of Vowels and Consonants produce the rest of the words & sounds. Sanskrit is known as Discovered Language \u2013 Vowels and Consonants are discovered based on what sound produces what vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Notice that Aa, Uu and Mm are the beginning, middle and end of the Vowels and vibrate the entire column from pit of the stomach to the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          There are many experiments, studies and adoptions of Sanskrit being carried out all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          There are demonstrations of how children\u2019s memory, concentration, focus, attention-span, creativity improved just by uttering Sanskrit words over a period of time \u2013 influence of sound on human system!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                          Energy Science<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Though \u2018life\u2019 is so apparent, modern science does not understand and recognize it \u2013 it thinks the human system is a mere assembly of electro-chemical-mechanical parts; existence of life-force\/energy is not recognized by the modern science because modern science is limited by the 5 sensory perceptions only \u2013 for example, a few years back if anybody had mentioned about electromagnetic energy, nobody would have believed it; only when it is converted to audio-visual form, there is acceptance that there is a form of energy named as electromagnetic energy which can propagate in space without any medium (where as electrical energy needs a wire to propagate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Spiritual Science from the Ancient Wisdom recognizes that such energy forms exist and that they are the cause for the rest of the physical manifestation. Beyond the Musculo-skeletal system (Earth (Bhoomi) element), Circulatory system (Water (Jala) element), Respiratory system (Air (Vayu) element), Nervous system (Fire (Agni) element) that is known to modern science\/medicine, Spiritual Science recognizes the Energy system (Ethere\/Space (Akash) element) \u2013 which is called as Chakras & Nadis. Yogic system defines 7 major Chakras along the spinal column and 72,000 Nadis all over the body through which the life energies circulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Adjacent to these 7 major Chakras are the 7 Endocrine glands and major Nerve plexus. Impacting the energy system influences the endocrine system and nervous system which control our hormones, enzymes, thinking, moods, and emotions which in turn determine our choices\/decisions and behaviors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          And the sound AUM produces vibrations in all the Chakras and enhances the life energy!<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                          Sound and Mindfulness<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          As we can see by the above mentioned demonstrations, Sound is a powerful tool to transform this human system \u2013 Mindfulness is a by-product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          Sound AUM (AUMin, AUMen etc. in certain religions) is the most simple but most potent vibration in this creation. That\u2019s why AUM is such an integral part of Yoga and Meditations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          These are not belief systems \u2013 they are very scientific. One does not have to believe in it; it\u2019s like Sun energy \u2013 person need not have to believe in it, but if the person stands in Sun he\/she will receive the Sun energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
