Item Part- I Concept of sotha according to ayurveda texts ; Part- II Immediate effect of mind sound resonance technique on fasting blood glucose levelin type II diabetes(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Xu WenBackground/Aim: Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia, either due to defect in insulin secretion or insulin action, or both. Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) is one of the yoga based relaxation techniques. Practice of MSRT shown to be effective in various chronic health conditions including diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This self as control study recruited 32 T2DM patients (age mean: 54.84, SD: 8.65) registered for a week long inpatient treatment at the holistic health home in Bangalore. Subjects underwent 20 minutes of two different intervention; MSRT and supine rest on two consecutive days at 6:40 AM to 7:00 AM. We excluded the subjects if they; had anxiety disorder, were on any anti-psychotic medication, were on insulin. We assessed state anxiety and subjective feeling of relaxation using spilberg’s state anxiety inventory (STAI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) respectively and fasting blood glucose level before and immediately after both the intervention. Results: The results showed a significant reduction (P<0.001) in blood glucose, STAI, and increase in relaxation as depicted through VAS immediately following the practice of MSRT, whereas, some marginal changes were found in SR group which were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Single session of MSRT helps in reducing blood glucose level, state anxiety and subjective feeling of relaxation immediately after practice. However further randomized controlled studies need to be performed to confirm the present findings.Item Part I Obstacles in the Path of Spiritual Practices Part II Immediate Effect of Cyclic Meditation on Fasting Blood Glucose in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients(S-VYASA, 2014-07-13) Narang, RahulBackground/Aim: Diabetes is one of the leading non-communicable diseases characterised by deregulation of blood in glucose control. Cyclic Meditation (CM) is one of the advanced yoga techniques developed by S-VYASA University, Bangalore. The main principal of CM is stimulation followed by deep relaxation. Many previous studies have shown that CM corrects the imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (reduces sympathetic tone). The present study was done to see the immediate effect of CM on Fasting Blood Glucose level (FBG) in type II diabetes patients. Materials and Methods: This self as control study recruited 16 patients with established DM2 of > one year ( with or without good control on oral hypoglycaemic agents) registered for a week long inpatient treatment at the holistic health home, Prasahnthi Kutiram, the campus of the yoga university, Bangalore . The Study Group (SG) practiced CM for 40 minutes and Control Group (CG) also practiced Physical exercises (PE) for the same duration of 40 minutes on two different days (days 1 and 6 after admission) in fasting state ( 5:30 AM to7:00 AM) before breakfast. Venous blood samples were collected for glucose estimation immediately before and after the practice of CM and physical exercise. Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 18. Results: The results showed a significant reduction (P=0.002, Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test) in FBG immediately after the practice of CM, whereas, some marginal changes were found in PE group which is not significant (P=0.159, paired samples t-test). Conclusion: Immediate practice of CM is effective in reducing the FBG in Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients.
