“…Moreover, using different training programs (26)(27)(28)(29) and training regarding religious beliefs and morality is frequently considered a constructive coping strategy for improving the mental health of the individuals. Interventional research indicated that training, awareness, and spiritual attitude can reduce anxiety and depression while it can promote the mental health of the mother and fetus, as well as non-pregnant women (30)(31)(32)(33).…”

Objectives: Delivery is a painful process and may impose different mental effects on the mother. The present study investigated the relationship between forgiveness and spiritual well-being on the mother’s anxiety during her labor. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study. The research population included all the pregnant women who referred to three maternity hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. In addition, the sample contained 200 pregnant women (both the prime and multiparous mothers) based on multiple regression analysis and 10 samples were selected for each variable of the study. The Paloutzian and Ellison Spiritual Health Scale, Pollard Forgiveness Scale in Family and Spielberger’s questionnaire were used to collect the data. Results: Based on Pearson correlation test, variables of the study demonstrated a significant relationship and the correlations between spiritual health and trait anxiety of the mothers, state anxiety, and the total score of anxiety were r=-0.329, -0.385, and -0.363, respectively. Further, a significant relationship was observed between mother forgiveness and mother’s anxiety (r= -0.352), the state anxiety (r = -0.39), and the anxiety variable (r = -0.377) (P = 0.001). Conclusions: In general, there was a significant negative relationship between spiritual health and forgiveness with the state, trait, and overall score of anxiety.

“…The core feature of depressive symptoms is a change in affect that in uences coping strategies in response to daily life events [15][16][17][18]. The approach-withdrawal hypothesis offers one model of such a coping strategy, categorizing an emotional response to an external event in terms of the subsequent actions [19,20].…”

Background Electroencephalography (EEG) frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) has been observed in several psychiatric disorders. However, dominance in left or right frontal alpha activity remains inconsistent in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), patients with schizophrenia, and healthy controls. This study compared FAA among patients with MDD, schizophrenia, and healthy control. Methods We recruited 20 patients with MDD, 18 patients with schizophrenia, and 16 healthy individuals. The EEG alpha frequency ranged from 8.0 to 12.0 Hz. FAA was expressed as the difference between absolute power values in both the right and left electrodes in the alpha frequency range (common-log-transformed F4–F3 and F8–F7). Hamilton depression and anxiety rating scales were evaluated in patients with MDD. Positive and negative syndrome scales were evaluated in patients with schizophrenia. Results Patients with schizophrenia showed significantly lower left frontal lobe activity than healthy controls (FAA, schizophrenia vs. healthy: -0.10 ± 0.05 vs. -0.05 ± 0.05). There were no significant differences in FAA between patients with schizophrenia and MDD as well as between patients with MDD and healthy controls. Conclusions The present study suggests that frontal alpha asymmetry indicates a breaking neural activity in schizophrenia. Breaking rhythmic activity as a left-lateralized FAA can be a neuropathological attribute in patients with schizophrenia but lack of sample size and information such as medication and duration of illness, all of which could make it difficult generalize finding.

“…Culturing of manomaya Kośa can be accomplished by relaxed dwelling of the mind in single thought (Dhyāna) (Hoge et al ., 2013[6]) and emotion culture by devotional session containing prayers (Lambert et al ., 2010[11]; Lambert et al ., 2009[12]), Chants, Bhajans, Dhuns and Stotras . At the vijñānamaya Kośa cognitive transformation can take place through lectures and individual counselling (Moritz et al ., 2011[16]; Hsiao, 2012[7]). The Ānandamaya Kośa techniques can come under the heading of karma yoga (Kumar and Kumar, 2013[10]), the secret of action.…”

Stress and its expression according to contemporary science and ancient indian wisdom: perseverative cognition and the Pañca koças

et al. 2014

Stress is recognised as the most challenging issue of modern times. Contemporary science has understood this phenomenon from one aspect and Indian philosophy gives its traditional reasons based on classical texts. Modern science has recently proposed a concept of perseverative cognition (PC) as an important reason for chronic stress. This has shown how constant rumination on an unpalatable event, object or person leads to various lifestyle disorders. Similarly classical yoga texts like the Taittiriya Upanishad, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Yoga Vashistha describe stress in their unique ways. We have here attempted a detailed classification, description, manifestation, and development of a disease and its management through these models. This paper in a nutshell projects these two models of stress and shows how they could be used in future for harmonious management of lifestyle disorders.
