All about positive thinking


"THE POWER is within you. You must overwrite your alpha level and remove the blockage, and thinking positively could just do that" was Arun Naidu's advice to me on my health problems. Arun Naidu is the founder of Far Reach Foundation, Bangalore, and he was in Chennai to explain how by following the theory of bio-rhythms and bio-energy, one could enhance the quality of life for the individual and his/her dwelling place. The event took place at the Vinyasa Art Gallery.

A mechanical engineer by profession, it was while he was working in Hyderabad that he came across several people following Vastu Shastra. He then began reading a lot about Vastu and even offered some advice. But he discovered that not all those who followed the advice benefited and in fact, some were in for adverse results. The same applied to Feng Shui. It set him thinking and researching for 20 years and the outcome was the science of Geo- Bio Energy and Bio-Rhythm.

Everything in one's world of expression is created in one's mind consciously or unconsciously. "There are 10 trillion lines connected to the brain, which keep sending all kinds of messages, which are registered in the alpha level." One's future, relationships, efficiency and personality, depend on the fine tuning of the alpha (subconscious) beta (conscious), theta (semi- conscious) and delta (deep sleep/unconscious). They send signals at the rate of 8-15 per second (p/s), 15-25 p/s., 4-8 p/s. and 0.5-4 p/s. respectively. Though the conscious mind tells one to do a certain thing, the subconscious mind does not allow it, though the person may not realise what is happening.

"Think positive", said Arun Naidu, who established his Foundation three years ago and since then has been offering consultation on bio-energy of buildings and people, not only in India but abroad too. "Every thought is a cause and every condition is an effect. Change your thoughts and thus, change your destiny."

Behavioural therapy trains the individual to handle his thinking plane and enables him to take decisions. Psychological organisation is the interaction of behaviours, which never exists in isolation. "Your subconscience has the answer to all your problems", declared Naidu with conviction, having helped many to get hold of their lives.

Bio-rhythmology is a new science and technique for personality development, stress management, solution to worry and depression. Naidu feels that most of the outstanding scientists, artists, poets, writers, singers and inventors have a deep understanding of the workings of their conscious and unconscious minds, which they have been able to control positively.

Regarding the energy patterns in buildings, Arun Naidu is of the opinion that Vastu Shastra cannot be relevant in the present times. This science was codified 4000 years ago to suit the situation prevalent then; but modern life is so different and most of what is said in Vastu is not applicable in the flat- culture of today. The 'Panchaboothas' or the five elements of Nature, push in various kinds of energy into the building; the magnetic axis and the cosmic band also do something similar. "In the eastern and the western hemisphere, the sun creates a strong umbrella of ultraviolet and infrared radiation. We have to adjust our living and working space after ascertaining the type of energy balance required and select the base colours of our buildings to modulate and regulate the radiation" to ensure the positive bio-rhythm of the building.

Explaining further, Naidu said that the energy enters through North and East and exits through South and West. "Therefore, don't block the North or East doors and windows; let light, heat and air come in." When he goes to Western countries, where the doors and windows are kept closed most of the time due to the cold weather, he advises people to open them at least for a little while everyday, to allow natural energy to flow in.

Also when electronic gadgets are used, it is advisable to keep a few plants nearby, so that they can absorb the negative energy/radiation. "When you sleep, let your head be placed towards the South; the head is normally considered to be the North pole and if you sleep with the head towards the South, the magnetic circle will be complete and that would give you positive energy and make you feel rested and refreshed in the morning."

"A proper match between the bio-rhythm of man and the dwelling is essential to lead a harmonious and prosperous life. The energy of wood, water, metal, earth, plastic, electrical, gadgets and furniture around man has to be kept in balance. Therefore, bio- energies, hydro-energies, light-energies and colour-energies can do the re-adjustments," he added. Arun Naidu also offers bio- rhythm psychic therapy for people as well as designing of new buildings as per bio-rhythms.
