The Daily Life Style program (DLSA) has been presented to many
audiences in the US, England and India as well as in Swami Vivekananda Kendra
in Bengaluru ,India. It is a PowerPoint presentation in two parts that takes
about 25 to 30 min.
Part one is for the physical body. Here I
will be emphasizing why we have to do warm up, aerobics and cooling down to get
the optimum benefits from the exercise in a safe manner to prevent hurting one
self. I will also have the studies to support it as a science.
Part two, is for active relaxation of the
mind (ARM). Here I will be discussing
the differences between active relaxation of the mind versus other perceived
methods of relaxation like sleeping, watching TV etc. There will a significant
physiological difference as well as benefits.
I am sure many of us have experienced the
fact that sometimes very complex problems have simple solutions. DLSA is one of
them, showing all of us how an hour’ worth of dedication to one’s physical and
mental health resolves many intricate problems. For example, it addresses
problems like lack of energy, weight issues, overcoming self-manipulation etc.
The main emphasis is on each one of us
devoting one hour for ourselves daily at the level of the mind and body,(preferably
before starting our daily work) and rest for others.
In addition, the presentation will provide the
physiological explanation associated with these practices.
The physical and spiritual practices
discussed in the presentation will show that these practices are rooted in
science and are not mystical in nature. This will be of utmost importance to
our youngsters who would like to see reason and rationality before accepting
the concept and practicing it in their life.
