Feeling problem in breathing; growing through a phase of anxiety for last 10 days aprrox. & also having insomnia. What brething exercise/meditation method/yogic mudra is best in this condition

Ans: Experiencing anxiety, breathing difficulties, and insomnia together can feel overwhelming, but gentle yoga and breathing practices can provide relief by calming the mind and balancing the body. Here’s what you can do:

1. Breathing Exercises:
Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing): Sit comfortably. Close your right nostril with your thumb and inhale through the left nostril. Close the left nostril with your ring finger and exhale through the right nostril. Repeat for 5-10 minutes. This calms the mind and balances energy.
Deep Belly Breathing: Place one hand on your stomach. Slowly inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your belly to rise, and exhale completely. Practice for 5 minutes to ease anxiety.
2. Meditation Method:
Guided Body Scan Meditation: Lie down and focus on each part of your body, releasing tension as you go. This helps in relaxing your nervous system and promoting sleep.
3. Yogic Mudra:
Gyan Mudra: Touch the tips of your index finger and thumb, keeping the other fingers straight. Practice this mudra during meditation or breathing exercises for mental calmness.
For better results and personalized guidance, consult a yoga coach. They can create a practice suited to your needs.

Career
Hello Sir, At present I am appearing Class 12 boards. I want to do research work in human psychology as my career. In which discipline I should do my Bachelors for the same? Is doing MBBS is the only way to reach out in research field? Thanks
Ans: Hi,
Kindly formulate your query in a detailed manner so that the experts on Rediff can provide you with better solutions. If you don’t provide enough information, it will be difficult for them to assist you, as the gurus need to make informed predictions to answer your question. This platform is more transparent than others because you can see the profiles of the experts available here. Therefore, be open and provide precise details. Please note that the platform does not require personal information, and you can post your questions anonymously if you prefer.

Undergraduate (UG) degrees provide foundational knowledge, including how to conduct research. In postgraduate (PG) studies, you generally build on those basics. After completing your PG studies, you can engage in research, either full-time or by pursuing a PhD.

An MBBS degree is also just a basic qualification and is not the only gateway into the research field. You can conduct research in a variety of fields, including arts.

If you are particularly interested in human psychology, gather basic information on the topic and proceed accordingly. There are various aspects of human psychology, so consider which area you would like to specialize in and plan your path from there.

ALL THE BEST

Relationship
I have a crush on my colleague recently. We started as a friend but one day we get drunk on one of colleague house. We talk about life and love. I asked about his ex. He told his past relationship story how they break up. I also shared some of my past situationship. We live in a same colony. So we came back home together getting drunk I told him you can lean ur head on my shoulder. And he suddenly lean his head on my shoulder and he was sleeping and I wake him up when we reached our destination. He takes me to my house and I suddenly hold his wrist. I don't why did I hold him and next morning he yes hi (call my name)how are you I didn't respond properly I'm just like yeah good after that he seems to avoid me a lot he didn't talk to me much I caught him looking at me sometimes but it might be coincidence. I think he doesn't like me
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand it must all be very confusing but I would suggest not jumping to conclusions. You think he doesn’t like you, but he might be thinking the same since you did not respond to him properly the next day. That could have triggered his current behavior. If you have feelings for him or if you even miss him as a friend, I would recommend you to clear the air with him. Just talk it out- you can explain how things got a little heavy the other day and that’s why you didn’t speak to him nicely and apologize if that made him feel bad. If even after that he continues to avoid you, then you will have better clarity.

Hope this helps.
