Have you ever thought of the benefits of doing yoga, prayer, meditation, etc.? Or have you ever thought of the benefits of being spiritual? This article presents the benefits that an individual can reap from spirituality.

 

In today’s world, we are concerned with materialistic possession all the time. We forgot that if we are not happy from within then these material possessions will be of no use. Spirituality helps us in achieving this inner peace. It is the state where you become aware of the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Let us discuss seven major advantages that spirituality offers to an individual.

Benefit #1: Prevention from Depression

Nowadays, depression is a major cause of worry among all especially the youth. You can get depressed for many reasons, such as peer pressure, relationship problems, the pressure of achieving success, etc.

In such a scenario, we need therapy beyond medications. It is because medicines can heal you for a brief period but cannot give a permanent solution. It is where spirituality comes into the picture.

Being spiritual, not only cures depression but also in achieving mental happiness.

Researches have shown that practicing meditation or any spiritual practice for 20-30 minutes every day can help you get rid of depression.

 

Benefit #2: Improvement in Mental and Physical Health

People who are inclined spiritually tend to have better mental as well as physical health.

It is because spirituality results in cognitive bliss.

When we practice meditation, yoga, prayers, etc. we achieve a physiological state of contempt.

This sense of well-being contributes to both physical as well mental well-being.

     

Benefit #3: Lower Stress Levels

This is complementary to the previous point. No matter in which field you are, stress affects every one of us.

A hard reality of today’s world is that many people suffer from psychosomatic diseases. These diseases arise from stress and later into serious physical ailments. 

Spirituality helps significantly to keep ourselves away from stress. When you practice spirituality regularly, you are transcending your mind to another world that is free from any sort of trauma or stress.

It is a peaceful world that you can achieve only with the help of spirituality.

 

Benefit #4: Achieving Inner Peace

All the materialistic possessions and success are useless if we are not happy from within. Real success happens when your mind and inner soul remain unaffected by external factors.

It is the state of real happiness.  Spirituality helps us achieve this state.

Also, if you are mentally strong you have a higher probability of success than those who are always under stress and anxiety.

 

Benefit #5: Patience and Compassion

Patience and Compassion are important qualities that an individual must-have.

Without tolerance, you cannot achieve your goal. And without compassion, you cannot understand yourself as well as others.

Spirituality not only teaches you how to be tolerant throughout your life but also enhances your inner thought process.

 Your self-awareness level increases. You become capable of understanding yourself and others’ feelings.

 

Benefit 6: Overcoming the Biggest Fear of Life – Death

Death is perhaps the biggest fear in everyone’s life. Some are afraid to die while some others become devasted while thinking about the loss of their dear ones.

Spirituality helps you to understand the real meaning of life. You understand that everyone who is born has to die one day. It helps you to free yourself from the bondage of the fear of life and death.

Spirituality makes you realize that when you die, it is only your body that dies while your soul remains immortal. 

Having this realization, you can free yourself from the fear of dying.

 

Benefit #7: Viewing Life at a Macro level

You often get stressed out with so many small issues in life. You forget that life is far more than what you think. 

Most of the time you do not live for yourself, but you try to impress other people by fulfilling their expectations. Spiritual practices help you to understand life from a wider perspective. 

Meditation and religious prayers, give your mind and body a spiritual rest.

What does spiritual rest mean?

It means a period when your soul, mind, and body are in a state of ultimate happiness.

In this state, you can interpret and analyze things in such a way that you could not imagine in the material world. You get healed at the subconscious level.

It helps you realize that the life you always complain about is a precious gift from God and all the problems are smaller when compared to this gift.

 

Conclusion

Now you know that spirituality gives an overall benefit to an individual.

Be it achieving ultimate happiness, curing depression, or understanding the real value of life, spirituality will always be in the foreplay.

So, what are you waiting for?

Unleash the new version of you with the help of spirituality.

What you have to do is to only devote 30 minutes every day to do any spiritual practice, such as meditation, prayer, etc.

You will soon enter into a state of mind as well as physical well-being.

Do you also follow any such practice?

Have you ever imagined that there are some psychological tricks to manipulate people? Do you want to influence other people and make them agree as per your need? If yes, then this article is only for you.

In today’s world, most people have become selfish. If you don’t act smart, people will use you just like a puppet. So in this changing world, it becomes very necessary that you upgrade yourself so that nobody can play tricks on you. For playing a psychological trick to influence people, you don’t need to have a degree. You just have to learn some basic methods and boom!. You will enter into a world where you can influence anybody you want. This article explains those methods through which you can manipulate people easily. So let us study these methods one by one-

 

  1. Mirror your opponent’s body language to make them trust you: Many studies have found that when you mimic your opponent’s body language, there is the highest chance that they get influenced by you. Whether you are in a group discussion, talking to your boss, or dating your crush, this trick works everywhere. But you have to make sure that you don’t imitate their body language immediately and repeatedly. This will ruin everything. For example – Suppose someone is talking with you with folded arms. Then wait for 30-40 seconds and after that, you also start talking with him or her with folded arms maintaining proper eye contact. This will imprint a good impression of you on their minds. And there is a high probability that person will get influenced by you in a further stage.

 

  1. Use the word ‘because’ to have it in your way: Everybody wants their opinions to be accepted. Whether you are in a heated debate or a seminar or giving a speech, you want your opinions or remarks to be accepted. So what’s the way out? The answer is to support your every opinion with a reason, preferably a valid one. Everyone will be bound to accept your idea. For example- suppose you want to make your idea get accepted. Then say like this “ I believe that this would be the best approach because….” Always support your argument with words like ‘because, ‘that’s why, ‘as’, etc. and then see the magic.

 

 

  1. Pause to give your word a bigger effect: This trick helps you to get a lasting impression while giving a speech, presentations, viva, or anywhere while talking.  You just have to take a little pause before delivering the important or catchy lines.  This will create a lasting impression for those words and sentences. But you will also have to keep in mind some other factors such as voice modulation,  voice clarity, tone, and pace of speaking to give a finishing touch to this trick.

 

  1. Stay silent if you want to know more: When someone is explaining any incident or telling you a secret and you want to know more then try to be a bit silent. This will make them more anxious than why are you not paying much attention to them. They will start thinking that you are not believing them and thus they will explain to you more even with the minute details. But in the middle of conversations, you must also give some small affirmations that you are listening to them Otherwise if you remain too silent, then they might lose interest in you.

 

 

  1. Be the first or last one to make them remember you: While giving any speech, presentations, or viva, try to give it either on the first or last number. This is because psychological studies proved that persons giving their speech or talks in the middle do not get enough attention. Thus the probability of winning the hearts of the audience remains the highest for those who are appearing either first or last. But that doesn’t mean you can win at these levels with zero efforts. You have to give your hundred percent effort. Then only this trick will work on you.

 

  1. Draw a triangle with your eye to stop the conversation: Many times you might be stuck with a person who eats your head with their boring conversations. So you will want to get out of that awkward situation. But how? This trick is one of the best ways to stop any conversations. You just have to draw a triangle with your eyes. First, look at one eye of your opponent then the second eye, and after that at their forehead.  Continue doing this and it will create an impression on their minds that you want this conversation to be stopped. This is a 100% real trick and works in every situation.

 

  1. Nod your head to make your opponent agree with you – if you want to make your opponent agree while asking a question or giving an opinion then nod your head while speaking to them. Also, maintain proper eye contact. You will see that they also started to nod their heads and agreeing with you even if they didn’t get your points completely. This is one of the best psychological tricks to get anyone’s consent.

 

So these were some of the tricks you can use to manipulate people. You just have to practice them regularly and then you will be able to reap their benefits. If you found this article useful then please don’t forget to share this with your friends.

Do you want to impress a girl? Do you want to liked by your crush? If yes, then this article is for you.

 

Impressing a girl is like solving a puzzle. They are difficult to understand and interpret. But there are certain qualities which are liked by almost every girl. So you just have to build your habits based on those traits. This article talks about all those traits that must be in you to impress a girl. Now, this may not be a hundred percent applicable to every girl as everyone has their likes and dislikes. But these are the traits liked by the majority of girls. So your chances of being liked or impressing your special one becomes higher. So let us study all those characteristics in details:

  1. Dressing Sense: By dressing sense, it does not mean that you have to wear branded, expensive, or other fancy clothes. But it means that you must understand which dressing sense suits you the most. You have to realize the correct color combination and size of clothes that fit into your body. Also, you must be well-groomed and take care of proper hygiene. Make sure to use a good perfume when you went to meet your girl. If necessary, then take help from youtube or any fashion blogs to know more about the fashion styles. Thus you will soon see that you got the correct idea of how to dress well.

 

  1. Be Genuine: One of the mistakes that most guys make is that they fake themselves. They try to impress their crush in such a way that does not match their actual behavior. You have to avoid this mistake if you want to be liked by your girl. This is because girls are very much clever to distinguish between original and fake behavior. They don’t like the boys who fake themselves to impress them. So always be original. Believe in yourself and remain confident. Remember that every individual has some special quality that makes them unique. So be unique and you will see that automatically many people will get influenced by you. If you get mixed in the crowd then what will be the use? Nobody will recognize you. So be original and believe in your personality rather than imitating others.

 

 

  1. Compliments: Girls love to hear compliments. So make sure to make enough use of it. Compliment your crush regularly. But be careful. Don’t make any false or creepy compliments. For example- if you know that she is not looking that great, then say to her like this “This dress is okay but I think you could try a better one” and not “ you are looking awesome”. She will surely respect this honest remark. An example of a creepy compliment is “You are just looking like a star which spreads its brightness in a night”. Both false and creepy compliments will not fetch you anything. Instead, it may ruin your impression. As explained earlier, girls are too smart to be deceived. So be genuine and make honest compliments like “you look great today”, “you have a positive charisma” etc.

 

  1. Make her feel special: This is used in a later stage where your friendship starts to get deepen. To become her special person, you have to make her special first. But how to do that? Well, you can do any of the following things-

 

  • Giving her the first birthday wish before others right at midnight.
  • Giving her honest and gentle compliments
  • Sharing your thoughts, ideas, or sometimes secrets with her. This will give her the feeling that you trust her and that she has a special place in your life.
  • Giving her surprises or sending her gifts. This is done to make your bond stronger and start a feeling of mutual likeness or love.
  1. Make her laugh: Girls like those boys who have a good sense of humor and can make them laugh regularly. So you should try to develop this skill. But remember this is not a mandatory one. If you can then it’s good and if you can’t then also it’s good. As explained in one of the previous points, you don’t have to fake yourself to impress others. But yes, as making somebody laugh is a learnable skill, you can too learn it. For example- you can watch the videos of standup comedians and see how they can use any situation to make everybody laugh. But if you can’t learn it then don’t need to be sad. Just be yourself and believe in your original personality.

 

  1. Be supportive: This is one of the most important things that every girl wants from there to be a partner. You must be supportive of your crush. It also comes in the further stage of friendship when your girl starts sharing her thoughts, ideas, problems, and happiness with you. In such a case you must be supportive to make her feel that you are genuinely made for her. But how to do this?

 

  • In times of her sadness, make sure that you try your every possible way to make her happy again
  • In times of her happiness, make sure that you enjoy yourself together with her happy times.
  • In times of her problems, make sure that you try to find out the solutions to them.

 

Thus these were all the traits that were found common in most of the boys who impress any girl.  All you need to do now is that you inhibit these qualities in your habits and soon you will see that you have impressed your crush.

Are you someone trying to find ways to make your relationship stronger? Do you want to know the secrets to an ever-lasting relationship? If yes, then this article is for you.

Every relationship is unique in its way. A relationship is a two-way process where there are ups and downs, commitments, happiness, sadness, and many more. If maintained carefully, then relationships are one of the most beautiful things in this world. But maintain a relationship is not so easy. It requires a lot of effort and time. However, every successful relationship has some common traits. This article explains all those methods through which you will be able to maintain a forever relationship with your loved ones. Let us discuss these methods one by one-

  1. Time: It is one of the most important factors for maintaining a good relationship. You should be available for your partner anytime when he/she needs you. Sometimes for some unavoidable situations, you may not be able to give your partner sufficient time. But it should not be such that every time you are making some sort of excuses for not giving your valuable presence. People change over time. But you should be the same over time and there should be a quest inside you to know your partner even more and more. Only then you will have the urge from within to spend more time with your loved ones. And thus your relationship will bloom over time.

 

  1. Loyalty: you should be faithful throughout your relationship. Keeping your promises, words, plans, and being present for your partner till the end is what loyalty demands. When there is mutual assurance in a relationship, then only it will grow. Otherwise, without this, it will fail. Loyalty also means speaking honestly about your partner to others. It is just that you accept your partner as they are in front of others. So be loyal and see that your relationship will turn into a never-ending one.

 

 

  1. Acceptance: You should accept not only the positive but also the negative sides of your partner. It should not be the situation that you become irritated with every small thing. You got to realize that there are ups and downs in every relationship. There will be situations where you will feel low or there will be misunderstandings. But you need to cross all the obstacles to turning your relationship into marriage. When you turn to have the acceptance thing then your ego will automatically disappear. And remember ego is the most dangerous thing for a relationship. It can ruin your relationship in seconds. So keep aside this ego thing and turn on your acceptance feature. Then you will see that all your problems with your loved ones will automatically disappear.

 

  1. Share every small detail: You should share every small detail with your partner. Once you enter into a relationship, then there should be no ‘you’ thing. Everything becomes ‘we’. Share your happiness, sadness, daily routine, plans, and many more with your soul mate. There are many factors necessary for a strong foundation in a relationship such as trust, loyalty quality time, etc. and all this starts with sharing every small detail. Once you start sharing your secrets with your soulmate then your relationship will automatically bloom.

 

 

  1. Spend quality time together regularly: Try to meet regularly. This is because so long as there will be no physical presence, you will not get the real essence of your partner. Virtual presence is not sufficient for developing an inner connection. When you will spend some quality time with your partner then only you will be able to develop an unreal connection. Go to places like parks, restaurants, lakes, etc. Try to hold hands, give a hug or show some physical support to your partner. It will surely develop an unbreakable connection between you and your loved ones.

 

  1. Adjust your expectations: Don’t keep any unreal expectations from your partner. This will ruin your bonding with them. As explained in the previous point, try to accept your partner as they are. Don’t act over possessive. Build a trust factor in your relationship. Any over expectations can create misunderstandings, anxiety, insecurity, and quarrels. So keep simple expectations and be happy with what you are getting. For example – suppose your soul mate truly loves you and tries his level best to keep you happy. But due to his workloads, he remains busy sometimes. So now, if you are keeping over expectations that your partner will give you time 24 hrs then at this point(which is not possible), you are surely going to create problems for your relationships.

 

So these were all the points that to be remembered to keep your relationship stronger and smoother. Remember nothing is perfect in this world and so does your relationship. So don’t worry about the little loopholes and enjoy this awesome journey of love with your soul mate. So if you found this article useful, then please don’t forget to share this with your friends.

Have you ever thought about what can a break up teach you? Have you ever wonder that just like a relationship, breakups also give you valuable life lessons? If no, then this article is only for you.

Break up means termination of a relationship between two partners. This is also called a “dump” in slang language. The phase of the breakup is a tough period to suffer. This is because it is not easy to forget all those uncountable memories and love that you have to spend with your partner. You start to miss your partner’s presence in every moment of your life. Whether it’s the late-night calls or sharing your every problem and happiness, you wish that your break-ups again somehow turn into a relationship. You just can’t let off your partner’s thoughts from your head.  Many people suffer from depression due to the continuous stress and anxiety they suffer in this period. But one thing that no one pays any heed is that break-ups teach us a lot of lessons. Now, it doesn’t mean that breakups are good. But that instead of sufferings, we must see its positive side. This article talks about all those positive lessons. So let us study these lessons one by one-

 

  1. Everything is temporary: This is one of the most valuable lessons that not only breakups but every bad phase teaches us. We become so depressed with the absence of some people that we forget that everything in our life has an expiry period. It is not that we become emotionless with the loss of people. But we have to remember that everything is temporary in life and even we will leave this world one day. So why lose our happiness and mental peace for someone who left us. And remember in today’s world true love or feelings have almost become a myth. The majority of people come into a relationship just for casual dates. So why become so depressed for someone or something which was not even true. This is because if it was true then they would not have left you.

 

  1. Love is important, but career is even more important: Love is secondary but career should always be the priority. It is not that love is bad. Even there are many instances where it was seen that a true partner was the main reason for someone’s success. But why should you waste your career on someone who did not love you truly and left you? Always remember that your parents are the ones who genuinely care for you. And the only thing that they want to see is your success and happiness. So make sure that you don’t waste them or get distracted from your goals for a person who was once a stranger in your life. Maybe you will get your true partner after you become successful. But once your crucial time gets over, you will not be able to rebuild your career again. So get up and start working on your goals with full energy, focus, and dedication.

 

3.Time flies: Always remember that even your worst day has 24 hours. Today you are crying or getting depressed for someone and lost all your hopes. But remember this time will also pass and a new ray of hope will come into your life. So try to stay calm and composed in every situation of life. This is because time is a cycle that keeps on rotating. Today, you might be happy because all the conditions are in your favor. But tomorrow you may be sad due to some unpleasant situations. So the best way out is that you should have control over your emotions and try to avoid becoming overwhelmed by any circumstances.  As explained in previous points, your career should be your first and foremost priority. And also everything is temporary. So why worry about a bad phase that you know will disappear eventually.

  1. Being alone makes you stronger: If today you are alone, then at least be happy that you are not in a fake relationship. It is better to be lonely and alone than being with someone who does not genuinely care for you. Just as a true partner can change you positively, a fake one can make your life hell. This is because a relationship is all about mutual responsibility. So if you are in a not-so-true relationship, then despite staying with your partner, you may get into a lot of stress and trouble.  So feel blessed if you are alone today. Because when you will fight with your hardships singlehandedly, it will make you both physically and mentally stronger.

 

So these were all the positive lessons that a breakup teaches. Every coin has two sides. So does break up. This article has explained all the bright sides of a break-up. So if you have understood all the points, then from now on take a pledge to yourself that you will always remain happy, optimistic, and focused on your goals. Also, you will never look back on your not-so-good past happenings. So if you found this article useful enough then don’t forget to share this with your friends who are also suffering from break-ups. Your one share can help them bringing their lost happiness and peace.

This article explains the top 9 Chanakya Neeti that you can follow in your daily life. It will help you to know yourself, your opponents, and the strategies to succeed in life.

 

Introduction

Chanakya was a great thinker, philosopher, statesmen, and political strategist.  He lived in the fourth century BC and led a life that is worth studying. Chanakya Neeti means those teachings of Chanakya that can help you to achieve desired results and outcomes. Although there are many teachings of Chanakya in his books ‘Arthashastra’ and ‘Chanakya Neeti’, this article talks about the top 9 Chanakya Neeti which are helpful for a common man in general and students in particular.

Following all these Neetis in daily life will help you to succeed in the future.

 

  1. Don’t Tell Your Goals to Anyone

Chanakya warned everyone not to share their goals with anyone. When you tell your plans to others you may receive two kinds of responses- positive or negative.

When you receive a positive response, you may become a bit reluctant and start losing your focus. And, when you receive a negative response, your mind will be filled with negativity and consequently, you will feel shattered.

So, according to Chanakya, the best way is not to tell your objectives to anyone and work within yourself full of energy.

 

  1. The Compound Effect of Always Learning

The compound effect is the ripple effect you get from your choices and action.

 Chanakya says education is the most important thing in the world. A scholar is respected everywhere. So you must learn something or the other every day continuously.

Initially, your learnings may seem insignificant but when you continuously tend to educate yourselves every day then you will see major positive changes within yourselves.

For example, if  you read 5 books per month then initially your knowledge may be small but if you continue this habit then you will gather a huge knowledge of 60 books in a year.

  1. Success and Comfort Zone cannot go Hand in Hand

You cannot sit in your comfort zone and then expect to achieve great success. To fulfill your goals, you must wake up and work your best to achieve your objectives.

Life is certainly not a bed of roses.

You will face criticism, challenges, and maybe sometimes, failures in your path. You may wish to give up as all these are out of your comfort zone. But you must be perseverant. Only then you will be able to rise above the rest and achieve success.

 

  1. Learn from the Experts

 Chanakya says while doing a particular work, many people will try to guide you. But you should seek guidance only from the experts.

This is because no one can teach you better in a particular task than a person who has already accomplished that task in the past. That person has the expertise and experience in his field.

Hence, as Chanakya mentioned you should always try to follow the footsteps of such a person. 

 

  1. How to Control People? Use Their Motivation as Their Weakness

Here, Chanakya explains how to control or manipulate other persons.

He says that every person in this world has needs or weaknesses that are their source of motivation. So to control them, you must use their needs to your advantage.

For example, if you want to control a person who is greedy for money then you can lure him for money and make them work for you.

 

  1. A man comes alone in the World and meets his End Alone

Chanakya through this line urged everyone to be self-reliant in the world. Nowadays, most of us have become dependent on others for some reason.  Often, we also get a close emotional attachment to others to such an extent that we believe that we cannot live without that person. But what we forget that nothing is permanent in this world. Everything will come and go and so, we must move on. But this doesn’t mean that we must not take help from others or become unsocial. Instead, we must try not to become overdependent or get an over-attachment with others.

 

  1. Intellectual Power Matters More than Physical Appearance

We all are so obsessed with our physical appearance that we often forget that our intellectual power matters more than physical appearance. Now, Chnayakya is not saying that we should not focus on our outer appearance but more than that we should focus on our intellectual strength. This is because a learned person is aware of mostly everything in this world and can shape his future accordingly. Chanakya in this reference gave the example of an elephant and an ant that how a small ant annoyed the elephant by entering into his ears.

 

  1. Learn from other’s Mistakes

We often commit mistakes and learn from them.  In the future, we may commit many more mistakes while pursuing our goals. But our life is too short to learn from our own mistakes, rectify them and then accomplish our objective. So according to Chanakya, we should increase our observing power and learn from the mistakes of others. This will help to save our time while doing a task as we will be aware of the possible mistakes that can be committed.

 

  1. What Can All the Scriptures Do for a Person Devoid of His own Wisdom? What use Has a Mirror for a blind man?

In these lines, Chanakya urged everyone to develop self-consciousness and common sense. He said a person can have the knowledge and guidance of many books or experts but so long he/she does not develop some self-consciousness to apply these teachings in practical life, all this knowledge will prove futile. So Chanakya said not to follow or learn anything blindly and develop some analytical skills to interpret things correctly through your inner self.

 

Chanakya also gave many other valuable lessons in his books. But this article tried to explain some of the most important lessons that will help us in our day-to-day life.

So understand all these learnings of Chanakya deeply and fit it deep inside in your minds. These will save you from being manipulated by others and stay focus throughout your journey of success.

Happy Reading!

Do you often feel bored most of the time? Do you want to do a lot of things but unsure about your goal? Do you lack interest in your works and have become a victim of boredom? Then this article is only for you.

Boredom means the state of feeling bored or restless through lack of interest. It can be caused by several reasons like procrastination, lack of useful energy, lack of motivation, etc. If not cured, boredom then causes adverse effects in your career.  It will kill your essential time and energy and kick you out of your success journey. So it’s become very much important that we always remain active and work full of passion and energy. The following steps explain in detail how you can cure boredom and utilize your time more effectively.

  1. Socialize One of the main reasons for which most people often feel bore is that they don’t have many friends. If you are one of them then make sure that you go and socialize with as many people as possible. This will not only improve your communication skills but also bring you many new friends. The more you interact with new people, the more you will be busy and hence your boredom will automatically fade away.

 

 

  1. Prepare your To-Do list – When you don’t know what to do then instead of wasting your time doing random kinds of stuff prepare a to-do list. Sit quietly for few minutes and think with a cool mind about the things doing which you will be benefitted. Then include those things in your list and then start performing them one by one. This will not only help you to schedule your time more effectively but also help you out from killing your restlessness.

 

 

  1. Learn a new Skill – Sometimes you just need some mental inducement to eradicate your feelings of boredness. And learning a new skill is the best thing you can do in this case.

Déjà Vu: Re-Experiencing Unexperienced

 

Summary:   

Have you ever heard about Déjà Vu? If not heard, at least you would have experienced it once. In this article, we are going to explore some amazing facts about  Déjà Vu. We are also going to see a weird case study where an unknown British young man suffered from never ending Déjà Vu.

 

Introduction:

Déjà Vu is a feeling experienced by a person that one has lived that present situation before. This word is taken from French and it means “already seen”. It is a very common psychological phenomenon experienced by a lot of people. According to a study in the year 2003, it was found that 70% of people are experiencing it.

 

Why do we experience this?

Human Mind is huge and has many compartments and most of these compartments are still unexplored. Whatever we perceived either consciously / unconsciously remains in our subconscious mind. Most of the time we ignore some things captured by our eyes. But, that information is stored permanently without our consciousness.

The same applies to our 5 senses that are touch, taste, smell, sound and vision. Whatever we touch, see, smell, taste and hear is recorded and stored in our mind and a large part of it is unconscious. With so much information stored in it, our minds can create a scene out of that information. If you are attracted to anything, your mind creates an illusion that this has been experienced already, therefore, creating confusion in the mind.

So according to researchers and many spiritual leaders like Sadhguru, 98% percent of the cases, Déjà Vu is a psychological process, and the remaining 2% might be true, but we have to consider it as a part of that 98%  because if we start believing it, everything will be visible in the same frame thus making things off control.

Many scientists and researchers believe that, if someone is experiencing Déjà Vu regularly, then their brain is indicating or alerting us about something which we are ignoring. If you’re wondering what your brain is trying to tell you, though, this is what déjà vu might communicate.

 

  1. You are not paying attention

The theory of split perception suggests déjà vu happens when you see something two different times. The first time you see something, you might take it in out of the corner of your eye or while distracted. Your brain can begin forming a memory of what you see even with the limited amount of information you get from a brief, incomplete glance. So, you might take in more than you realize. If your first view of something, like the view from a hillside, didn’t involve your complete attention, you might believe you’re seeing it for the first time.

 

  1. The Experience happened

Sometimes, déjà vu experienced might not be déjà vu. It might be the feeling of familiarity could be happening because of the similar experience in the past but simply don’t remember it. But since the brain(conscious mind) doesn’t remember so we name it Déjà vu.

 

  1. You have a “Dominant Eye”

While we think about the pair of eyes which we use to see the physical world. Every person has a dominant eye which can be activated by yoga. This dominant eye helps the person to connect his/her mind with the spiritual world and attain spirituality. This dominant eye could contribute to feelings of déjà vu. If that stronger eye focus and registers the information before the physical eyes, the brain tells us that, ” I’ve seen that before. ” Although the experience was just nanoseconds ago.

 

A weird case study

   The Man who experienced never-ending Déjà Vu

One of the most bizarre cases of Déjà Vu cases ever recorded was of a British young man who was trapped in an eternal time loop. This person experienced never-ending déjà vu and his condition reached a stage when he avoided watching television, listening to the radio, and reading newspapers because he felt he had “encountered it all before”.

This case was studied by Dr. Chris Moulin, a cognitive neuropsychologist at the University of Bourgogne. The case of the unnamed British young man who experienced never-ending déjà vu for the last eight years of his life intrigued scientists. Never before had anyone heard of a similar case. What could cause a person to be trapped in an eternal time loop?

Doctors from the UK, France, and Canada examined the man who was 23-year-old at the time. He first experienced the sensation in 2007, shortly after he started university. It soon became clear that the man did not exhibit any of the other neurological conditions usually associated with those who suffer from déjà vu.

The above case study has been taken from BBC News.

 

   5 interesting facts about Déjà Vu :

1. Déjà Vu most often occurs during stress or extreme fatigue.

2. The occurrence of déjà vu decreases with age.

3. People of higher socio-economic status are more likely to experience déjà vu.

4. Some people who experience déjà vu say the experience resembles a prior dream.

5. People who travel frequently experience Déjà Vu more than those who don’t travel.

 

Conclusion:

Even after, having so many case studies, no case has a perfect explanation about the process due to lack evidences. Researchers still have to learn much about Déjà Vu. The limited number of evidences done on subject suffer from biased opinions and few fake claims about this phenomenon. Finally, according to the studies available déjà vu is a psychological process with certain events, different theories and no perfect shreds of evidence to prove any theory explaining this process.
