Pain Relief: From Physiology to Neurology | Sadhguru @ Harvard Medical School

 the neurological system in the body if we have a way of monitoring that killing the pain completely at certain moments when we want just by touching certain parts of the body well let me pose you a question inside there so we can perhaps work as individuals – now that I know I take away wakefulness and not consciousness right make to move towards consciousness and that’s an individual’s decision – may be trained in this particular way so is there some way that we can harness these insights like you have harness these this understanding and use it as anesthesiologist to take care of patients because if we can reduce it – or if we can adapt it I should say reduce it we can adapt it in that way you know that would be very very helpful because we would be using the powers in a way that would control half use the word the brain in a way that would be perhaps more more physiologic I’m not the expert in the subject but because you are asking me the question and say something but you are the expert in anesthesiology I in my simple understanding anesthesia as a process has come into being in this world is existing right now because there is pain pain when it happens to us is a bad thing nobody wants pain but at the same time if there was no pain most people would not even know how to preserve their own body it’s available there is no pain in how many ways they’ve cut it suppose there was no pain in your nose they would have cut it in various shapes it’s part of the fashion there’s no pain at all believe me they would have pulled out into steins and swing it on the street and go you have any doubt about that whatsoever so essentially because there is pain in the body and pain is a protective mechanism because most human beings still don’t have the necessary intelligence even to preserve themselves if there was no pain even if a bicycle comes people step back don’t think this is out of civilisation consequence of pain it was no pain even if a truck comes they would just walk yes they would so because of pain so pain is essentially a protective mechanism for us without it people wouldn’t know how to stay alive how to stay in one piece they would have cut themselves into pieces so but sometimes as what is called a surgery is in some way cutting people up for sure so you it has become a necessity to cut someone how to cut them with minimum amount of disturbance to the system that’s the whole effort so in this effort as you said essentially you’re disengaging different parts of the brain I don’t know if it’s an exact science or it’s generally getting disengaged whichever way is it getting effectively disengage that people go through surgeries without him knowing what happened when something major was done to them their ribs were opened up and rib cage was opened up heart was open up brain was opened up they don’t even know what happened very innocently they wake up after a day or so whatever their amount of time so this is anesthesia how could we use c11 dimension because when when you when we were speaking in the room when you said essentially if I’m wrong please correctly you are monitoring the physiological systems of heartbeat blood pressure and temperature and brainwaves whatever else the physiological factors if I don’t know if it’s even a possibility but if if you find a way to monitor the neurological system ignoring the physiological system completely see the concern maybe the moment you put somebody on the table and start opening the body the concern of a doctor or a surgeon may be that you don’t want him dead on the table so you’re watching his heart wait you’re watching his pulse and you’re watching is all the other parameters I understand and appreciate that concern but instead of okay let’s leave the physiological monitoring as it is but if we have a way I don’t know if there is a way in the medical science if we monitor the neurological system not just the brain the neurological system in the body if we have a way of monitoring that I think the entire art of anesthesia could raise to a different level at a very minimum interference it could happen the cause why I am saying disease there is something called as murmur in yoga and also in what is called as coloring in South India it’s a certain form of martial art Mirman is a way of creating killing the pain completely at certain moments when we want to just by touching certain parts of the body handling body in a certain way so essentially what we are doing is the neurological system we’re shutting it off and there is no pain at all we can go ahead and do what we have to do and only when we release it the pain will come back so using that as a basis I’m saying if medical science has a way of monitoring the neurological impulse as it’s happening and if there is some way to introduce introduced anesthetics in whatever form that you use I don’t all the cocktails that are used but if it is done properly probably I’m just guessing I’m not an expert on this probably with 2% or 3% of your medicine you could still have the same effect on the patient because how do you use any medicine on the body and how you use it on the neurological system I would say 1% of what you use on the muscle if you use it on it now it would produce equal effect but it’s interesting because I think what you’re saying has contact also with the work that we do in the recovery phase and there are people now looking very carefully at cardiac and brain interactions and and they do signal some of these changes and it it’s suggestive I mean that may be more more the body could be engaged in in the way we think and measure and that makes a lot of sense to me actually [Music] [Applause] [Music] you As found on YouTubeAlzheimer’s Dementia Brain Health ➫➬ ꆛシ➫ I

Stress Response: Savior to Killer

As we’ve evolved, the human stress response has saved our lives. Today, we turn on the same life-saving physical reaction to cope with intense, ongoing stressors – and we can’t seem to turn it off. Robert Sapolsky, Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University, reveals just how dangerous prolonged exposure to stress can be in the documentary, “Stress: Portrait of a Killer.”Stress: Portrait of a Killer Website: http://killerstress.stanford.edu/Stanford University:

8 Super Useful Websites That Might Help You Get A Damn Thing Done

Soothing audio salvation for those who hate noise.

If you work in an open office, the struggle is real.

Warner Bros.

Noise is stressful. It hurts productivity and makes you miserable. For people who suffer from misophonia, noise can be a living nightmare.

Luckily, help is at hand. Ambient sounds like white noise create a buffer between your ears and your immediate environment, blocking out distractions without overwhelming the senses.

Not only that, but according to a study of 65 people published in the Journal of Consumer Research, listening to ambient noise of around 70dB can not only block out the hassle, but can make you more creative.

Whether you want to work or sleep in peace, here are a few websites you can use to drown out unwanted noise. They are best experienced with headphones:

1. Rainy Mood.

Rainy Mood / Via rainymood.com

As any pluviophile will know, rain makes everything better. Rainy Mood is my go-to ambient noise app. The best part is they let you add a YouTube video to the URL and create your own rain/song mix with your favourite relaxing song – here’s one I made.

Perfect for: The anxiety-riddled / silencing Karen, who nobody fucking likes by the way, and who is determined to make you listen to every last fucking bite of whatever shitty lunch she’s smacking her mouth around at her desk. How do you not know you’re making that fucking noise, Karen?! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW?!

2. TM Soft White Noise Player.
