Item Part I immediate effect of MSRT on attention, concentration and visual memory in diabetes mellitus part II techniques or medicines to improve cognitive function(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Mohanty, Subarna SurajitaBackground: Many Complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) have been found to be beneficial in improving the attention, concentration, memory in diabetes. More particularly meditation plays a key role in doing so. Aim: The present study is aimed at assessing the effect of Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) on diabetes patient. Settings and Design: The participants were from Arogyadhama (Yoga hospital) VYASA, Bangalore, and India. The present study was a simple controlled design between the groups. Material and Methods: All subjects were assessed using Digit Letter Substitution Test (DLST) and Six Letter Cancellation Test (SLCT) before and after the practice of MSRT. Also ‘Supine rest’ was studied as an intervention to see it’s effect on the above mentioned variables. Results: It was observed that percentage change was more following MSRT in both Total Attempted (TA) and Net Attempted (NA) scores of DLST viz., 29% & 30% compared to Supine rest viz., 22.1% and 22.8%. No significant change in the score of SLCT was observed following MSRT compared to SLCT. Conclusions: Based on the above mentioned result, it can be concluded there was better attention and cognitive flexibility following the practice of MSRT.Item Effect of mind sound resonance technique on anxiety, epression and fatigue in working women(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Anita PatilObjectives: The present study aimed at assessing the efficacy of a yoga technique called Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) on working women’s stress level reduction with an age range 30 to 50. Material and Methods: In this randomized two group pre post study, 60 subjects were assigned to two groups (yoga, n=30) and (control, n=30). The yoga group received yogic MSRT for 25 minutes in supine position for 20 days and control group continued with their routine work without any yoga intervention. All instructions of MSRT technique were given verbally. MSRT provides deep relaxation for both mind and body by introspective experience of the sound resonance in the whole body while repeating the syllables A, U, M and Om and a long chant (Mahamrityunjaya mantra) several times in a meaningful sequence. Both the groups had pre and post assessments using HADS (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale) and PFS (Piper Fatigue Scale) questionnaires. Result: The result showed significant reduction (p<0.05, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test) in all six variables which are anxiety, depression and fatigue’s four dimensions- behavioral, affective meaning, sensory and cognitive, in experimental group after 20 days (25 min per day) practice of MSRT. Whereas in control group only two variables depression and fatigue’s behavioral dimension showed significant reduction in score. Mann-Whitney test was conducted to compare the results between group, experimental and control. Three variables showed significant results (p<0.05) anxiety and two dimensions of fatigue sensory and cognitive. Conclusion: The assessment and data analysis clearly shows that 20 days practice of MSRT significantly reduced the anxiety, depression and fatigue score of the participants, while improvement was none in the control group. These findings need confirmation from studies with a larger sample size, which are implicated in the future.Item Immediate effect of bowl sound therapy and mind sound resonace technique on state anxiety and psychomotor performance in healthy volunteers: a self controlled comparative study(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Das, DebkumarObjectives: To compare the immediate effect of Bowl sound therapy (BST) with Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) on state anxiety (SA) and psychomotor performance (PMP) in 30 right handed (19-males &13-females) healthy volunteers with age range 21-34 years (26.96±3.54 years). Methodology: A self-controlled comparative study design was followed. State anxiety and psychomotor performance were assessed using STAI-XI and DLST respectively, before and immediately after each intervention on three consecutive days. Participants practiced BOWL SOUND, MSRT and SR (as a self-control intervention) at the same time for three consecutive days respectively. The sequence of intervention was assigned randomly to the participants. Intervention was given in a quiet dark room, after lunch. Subjects received a training of BOWL SOUND, MSRT and SR for immediate before the data and after data was taken. A trained yoga instructor administered the technique of BOWL SOUND, MSRT to all the subjects. Data was found normally distributed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The changes in the STAI and DLST scores were analysed using paired and independent samples t test and different between test. Results: Within group comparison showed that during BOWL SOUND there was significant improvement in total, net score and reduction wrong score in but there was no significant reduction in anxiety. DLST score (STAI; p=0.81; DLST; p = 0.001**) and MSRT, (STAI p=0.59; DLST p=0.001) During SR, there was no significant change within the group for both STAI (p = 0.094) and DLST scores (p = 0.431). Between groups comparison revealed that STAI scores reduced significantly during MSRT as compared to BOWL SOUND (p=0.467). But there was no significant difference between the groups for DLST scores (p = 0.128). Between groups comparison revealed that STAI scores reduced significantly during MSRT as compared to SR (p=0.066). But there was no significant difference between the groups for DLST scores (p = 0.007**). Conclusion: BOWL SOUND THERAPY and MSRT are effective interventions in improving the psychomotor performance, in which MSRT is more effective than bowl sound therapy.Item Effect of Mind Sound Resonance Technique on Emotional Intelligence in Females(SVYASA, 2013-06-15) Agamjeet KaurABSTRACT Background Females need emotional intelligence (EI) for enhancing their leadership skills. Three important psychological dimensions of EI are emotional sensitivity, emotional maturity and emotional competency which motivate students to recognize truthfully, interpret honestly and handle tactfully the dynamics of their behavioral pattern. A female under optimal stress does bring out his or her best, however extremes of stress can result in stress induced disorders and deteriorating performances like leadership skills. Can yoga be of benefit in enhancing leadership skills in females? Objective To assess EI in females undergoing yoga based Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT).
