RESTORING HUMAN VALUES IN MEDICINE: ROLE OF YOGA
![Page 9: Yoga for Health Professionals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c3d81a28ab26728b5973/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Introduction• Recent developments showcased through social media
highlight a lack of human values in modern medical professionals.
• Compassion, empathy and a sincere desire to relieve suffering are found lacking and this seemingly becomes even rarer as qualifications increase.
• Kidney rackets, unnecessary surgeries, lab commissions & inflated bills commonly bemoaned.
• Recently medical students in Chennai were found throwing a poor dog off their rooftop in glee.
• Monkey tortured and killed at CMC, Vellore
![Page 11: Yoga for Health Professionals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c3d81a28ab26728b5973/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why yoga? • Yoga, an ancient cultural heritage of India is spreading
rapidly; practiced by millions globally.• Offers a broader perspective of life and refines all round
personality (purna purusha)• Enables the attainment of inherent potential of each
individual in a holistic manner. • Yoga is not just a system of exercise but is a way of life, an
attitude and a conscious lifestyle. • A Yogi is just a good human being.
• Shouldn’t our doctors be good human beings?
![Page 12: Yoga for Health Professionals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c3d81a28ab26728b5973/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Why yoga? .................. Contd
• Stresses importance of social and personal values– Yama (restraints of subhuman tendencies such as
violence, stealing and greed etc), and – Niyama (humane observances: cleanliness,
contentment, self-introspection & discipline). • Inculcation of these universal values in medical
students can help them be more humane in their life and profession.
• Provides a contextual purpose for life and service.
![Page 14: Yoga for Health Professionals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c3d81a28ab26728b5973/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Yoga places great importance on a proper and healthy lifestyle whose main components are:
ACHAR – healthy physical activities & exercise VICHAR – right thoughts and right attitude towards
life that are vital for wellbeing. AHAR – healthy, nourishing diet with adequate intake
of fresh water; balanced intake of fresh food, green salads, sprouts, unrefined cereals & fresh fruits. Satwic diet, prepared & served with love & affection.
VIHAR – proper recreational activities to relax body and mind are essential for good health.

Suggested mechanisms• Psycho-physical techniques of Yoga such as asana,
pranayama, mudra, dharana and dhyana enable attainment of physical, mental and emotional fitness.
• Skilful & efficient management of stressors through induction of relaxation response.
• A broader worldview enables doctors to fulfil their responsibility (dharma) in the spirit of nishkama karma (non-attachment to results of one’s actions).
• This prevents unhealthy “Me first”, “Make the most money”, “Who cares as long as I am safe” type of attitudes from developing in medical professionals.

Empathy is the key!
![Page 18: Yoga for Health Professionals](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5878c3d81a28ab26728b5973/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Empathy is the key!• A healthy connection with our inner self (antaratma)
creates a cheerful, strong and compassionate professional; empathetic towards the suffering.
• We must remember:– When we are at peace, at ease with ourselves; we can
serve others better.– By serving others, we serve ourselves too.– The more we give, the more we receive.– We thus become pure tools of the divine.
We thus self actualize ourselves.

Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.…Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day
