Often we are caught up thinking that retirement is a time to forget our worries, live without a boss and just have happy and good times but unfortunately this fantasy is not very common in real life.
Many people think the main recipe for a good retirement is having a lot of money which you will use throughout your retirement period. As much as this is a wonderful idea and also could be achieved, this wish is not met by most retirees.
Maadili Leadership Solution’s Perfect Health course explicitly helps you explore your mind body energy which then maximizes your potential to a self discovery, a journey which then awakens to to identify so many life’s greatness. You will then identify that retirement is the time when it should not matter that you be the best, the first, the oldest or the most. But its the time to do what makes YOU happy.
It is, indeed, in this view that Maadili Leadership Solutions offers a 5-step exploration of mind body energy medicine based and Ayurveda.
Steps to enable you to attain and maintain optimum help include: a balanced, nutritious diet based on natural ingredients, regular exercise, regular screening for diseases which may present a risk, learning to understand and manage stress, engaging in purpose-driven activities which also provide connection to others, appreciating what you have, maintaining a positive outlook on life, living your life based on a well-defined value system.
And yet, over the years, empirical evidence increasingly cites stress as a major contributing factor to physical and mental illness, as well as being an underlying factor to poor relationship management with the self and with others.
The attainment of Perfect Health, therefore, is about making conscious choices that will have a positive impact on your physical, mental, emotional, financial, social and spiritual life.
Ayurveda – which translates to the art and science of life — is a remarkably personalized system of wellness, based on the ancient wisdom from the Indian Sub-Continent, which views each one of us as being born with a remarkably individual blueprint for optimum health, wellness and wisdom from conception.
Hence the three Mind Body Types – Vata Pitta Khapa – of which each one of us is uniquely endowed. Discovering your Ayurvedic Mind Body Constitution is, therefore, a phenomenally illuminating experience on the path to vibrant health, meaningful life purpose, enduring sense of peace, contentment as well as joy.
It is in this view, that Ayurveda places the responsibility for your health and wellness primarily on you, as an individual within the community and broader society.
The Ayurvedic Mind Body Type Constitution Questionnaire – also known as the Dosha Quiz — is, therefore, a very versatile tool for letting you discover your Mind Body Type Constitution at Conception (Prakruti), as well as knowing your state of balance at any given time (Vikruti). The feedback from this Mind Body Type Tool is catalytic in helping Participants in Maadili Leadership Solution’s 5-Module Signature Course to develop — over time — three, cutting-edge leadership competencies: Self-Awareness, Self-Consciousness & Self-Mastery.
In filling out the Mind Body Type Questionnaire, Course Participants are advised to take note of the fact that there are NO right or wrong answers. Rather, the BEST answers are the ones that are TRUE for You. Following are some of the insights that can be gleaned from a correctly completed Dosha Quiz:
Every individual’s mind body type at Conception — Prakruti, page 1 — the key attributes inherited from the lineages of both parents, one’s individual strengths and How to know when one is going out of balance or responding under stressful conditions.
This is critical in helping one develop a keen sense of Awareness, thereby offering them the opportunity to Choose the most nurturing response(s) as often as possible in every critical/challenging incident while remaining calm, thereby making it Safe for others to engage constructive without feeling pressured to be combative, defensive;
By the same token, Self-Awareness also facilitates Awareness of the Others’ feelings, situations, sensitivities, automatically making it easier for individuals to develop consideration, empathy for others, be it at home, in the office or at the shopping mall. This is what makes it possible for inter-personal relationships to significantly improve on a sustainable basis, because relationships are accordingly viewed from a perspective of informed best-interest for all;
In a workplace training situation, the feedback from page one can and should share, especially in the context of various Operational Management Teams, as it helps to know and understand Team Members from the non-prejudicial perspective of each individual’s Natural Mind Body attributes.
At best, this information can be invaluable in shining a light on how to make the best use of every Team Member’s natural attributes and gifts. This information also affords Team Members, non-judgemental language for discussing personality challenges and opportunities for improvement;
Further, the information obtained from answering the questions on the second portion of the questionnaire — Vikruti, pages 2 to 5 — is most helpful in enabling an individual to know their Current mind body status. The feedback from this portion of the Dosha Quiz is best viewed as CONFIDENTIAL, for the primary use of the individual, whose responsibility it is to determine whether or not to share same with their Supervisor, HR Director, Staff Counsellor, Organisational Nurse/Doctor/Counsellor. In other words, this wealth of informations is Most Useful in helping individual Team Members to know How they are coping with life at work and/or at home and what to do about it in the interest of optimum health, wellness and effectiveness. What the Course Sponsor/Employer has a right to demand is improved efficiency and effectiveness as an outcome of investment in Staff Training/Leadership Development.
By the same token, Staff Member/Manager/CEO is justified/entitled to the kind of professional support they may require in order to deal with health/wellness challenges which will have been revealed by the Vikruti portion of the Dosha Quiz. This may range from an identified need for Professional Mentoring, Executive Coaching, Psychological Counselling, Medical Leave, Change of Job Description, etc…
All of this information is obtained from Module One of Maadili Leadership Solution‘s 5-Module Course and the use of Maadili i Leadership Solution‘s Core Tool, the Dosha Quiz/Mind Body Type Questionnaire. In addition to serving as the tool for collecting basic data, Part 2 of the the Dosha Quiz — the Vikruti, pages 2 to 5 — is a timeless Monitoring Tool, which can be used to assess annual progress or lack thereof, thereby offering opportunities for remedial action, as the case may be.
Additionally, because the individual and collective human resource development attributes and needs will have been identified during the first Module: Know Thyself, each of the remaining 4 Modules are taught and learned in a Customised Manner, based on the findings of the Dosha Quiz for every individual and/or Team.
At the end of the 5-Module Course, the Employer/Sponsor will have facilitated the generations of two catalytic leadership/productivity tools/Instruments: (a) a revised or new Individual Vision, (b) Team/Family Joint Strategic Vision Plus Implementations Plans.
Discover How Life Is an Interplay Between the Environment, Mind, Body and Soul. Your Ears, Eyes, Skin, Tongue and Nose are the 5 Gateways through which you experience the world.
Learn How the Composition of Your Mind is created out of your sensory impressions and How the quality of these impressions determine the quality of your thoughts and feelings,
Explore and experience how you can use sounds, feelings, sights, tastes and smells to balance, nourish and heal your mind body, and Spirit.
Using the your Dosha Quiz Outcomes, Learn How to determine which aromas can balance your Current Mind Body State (Vikruti).
Sound
As the first Gateway, sound is a powerful tool for healing. Sounds activate the release of chemicals throughout the body that are healing. Signals of harmony created by sounds are sent to the innermost levels of your mind/body/spirit. Some examples of healing sounds are: drumming rhythms, nature sounds like rainfall and sea waves, mantras and music.
Touch
The skin, when stimulated contains abundant healing chemicals that promote a physiological healing. This helps to calm the mind, it promotes better body immunity and enhances stimulation.
Ways to practice healing touch are like the Ayurvedic self-massage.
Sight
Another gateway to which powerful sensory information enters your awareness is through your eyes. Anything you observe with your site either good or bad has effects on your mind, body and spirit. Triggering your mind body and spirit positively helps release chemicals in your body that will bring positive effects. To make use of your eyes try things like resting while having a nice view of the landscape or ocean or the night sky. Keeping your work or house space visually appealing too has a profound effect on your consciousness.
Taste
Taste directly affects your emotion or mood. Ayurveda classifies six tastes, sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent. When eating your food, its only when you experience all the six tastes that’s when you feel totally satisfied and fulfilled. This relates directly to your life’s experiences where you will find that you are not in balance since these experiences favour only one flavour.
Smell
Your emotions and memories are deeply connected to your sense of smell. Unlike other senses, scents go directly to the brain, a part that coordinates both the autonomic nervous system and regulates emotional activity. This then means that your sense of smell has an powerful effect on how you perceive the world.
