Today STRESS in growing as one of the major killers.It is like the termite inside the wood that looks stable from outside and becoming hollow from inside. Stress if not controlled would destroy every organ by bringing in hormonal imbalance changing the chemical composition of body.
As per yoga there are 5 states of mind
Pranayama- Prana + Aayama – Regulate the Breath. Every human is born with allotted breath. On an average a human breathes around 15 times in a minute. The objective should be to reduce the number to 10 or below to increase the span of life. Mind has to be in Peace for humans to deliver maximum results. In corporate world , multi asking is considered a boon, whereas scientifically it has been proved that our brain is incapable of multi-tasking and it leads to decreased efficiency affecting the quality of work.
