GAYATRI DEVI

Toda la magia de la India a través de la vida de la maharani de Jaipur: la época de los maharajaes, los palacios míticos de Cooch Behar, Baroda, Jaipur, Darjeeling; los grandes durbar o fiestas de gala; las costumbres ancestrales como el purdah; la dominacion inglesa; la larga marcha hacia la independencia, su entrada en la vida politica, la estancia en España como Embajadores de la India. Un libro agil, tan fascinante como una novela y que es el testimonio de una vida y un tiempo.

A successful life doesnt mean you have to experience chronic stress. Now, Dr. Gayatri Devi shows in A Calm Brain how you can cultivate an optimal mental and physical state of focused peaceful awareness by tapping into your bodys hard-wired natural relaxation system.Our ancestors used the fight-or-flight mechanism to protect themselves from predators. We use it to fend off daily crises. In a world filled with too many toys, too much technology, and too many choiceshow can we possibly keep up? Our bodies have been trained to react to the beeps and alarms of all our different technologies, be it the ever present cell phone, an angry text message, or a frantic voicemail. The result is chronic stress and a learned inability to relax.With a warm, lucid voice, Dr. Devi shares stories from her medical practice of ordinary peoplesuffering from migraines, neck pain, gastrointestinal upsets, and sleep deprivation trying to work through lifes difficulties. With practical advice she shows just how to promote a higher vagal tone, and delivers the best news yet: you dont need more drugs. Here are the keys to more tranquil, productive, and enjoyable life. Dr. Devi explores a paradigm shift in our understanding of the brains relaxation mechanisms. It is hard for our brains to talk our bodies into feeling calm, but our bodies have strong wiring that makes true enduring calm possible. The body does this through the vagus nerve, a powerful conduit that taps directly into our brains built-in relaxation system. This revolutionary science can transform your work life and your home life.
