More Yoga Strategies for Anxiety Relief

The Dr. Kataria School of Laughter yoga has received much exposure over the past few years because of the medicinal benefits of laughter. laughing strengthens your immune system and reduces anxiety.

Dr. Madan Kataria is on to something, as laughter could be combined with pranayama sessions for maximum benefits. In life, there is a shortage of laughing. Unfortunately, too many people take themselves too seriously.

If you feel foolish laughing for 20 minutes a day for good physical, emotional, and mental health, you may want to consider laughing alone, or joining a Laughter Yoga club. The benefits of laughing are too good to miss out on.

Yet, the average adult laughs less than 20 times per day. Children often laugh over 100 times in a day. No wonder so many adults and teens are so stressed out.

Laughter reduces stress, protects your heart, lowers blood pressure, and is a form of quick relaxation. You could watch comedies, or listen to comedy audio recordings on CD, while you are driving on your way to, or from, work.

If you want to avoid negative thoughts, you may want to reduce the time you spend watching the news or reading depressing stories in the newspapers. This does not mean you should avoid learning new things, but be selective about the type of information you read, watch, or listen to.

Good stories do appear on the news, but how many depressing stories will you have to mentally process before you find one. The old saying, Bad news sells, often applies. There are plenty of good magazines to read, radio stations to listen to, and television channels to watch, so be selective.

Telemetry Uses in Technology

The future of communications is wireless and this includes telemetry applications. Telemetry is the process by which measurements are collected and made and transmitted to equipment in other locations for viewing, monitoring, and recording. Its origins go back to the early 1900s when data transmissions were monitored on a number of electric power stations by a central command center. Telemetry then underwent extensive research and development by NASA who perfected telemetry and expanded its uses to include commercialization of high-data-rate technology and products for use in private sectors.

This process of privatization of this technology enabled NASA employees leaving the agency to join industries and use their technological education and expertise to further invent and develop products used in commercial markets around the world. Ground station equipment performs both traditional and bridging/switching functions to interconnect local and regional communication networks with other space and ground communications networks. Advances in wireless technologies have experienced great things relative to telemetry from wire transmissions to radio transmissions to global systems for mobile transmissions. Telemetry uses include monitoring of huge systems like satellites, power plants, oil rigs, geological and meteorological, logistics, tracking endangered species, and monitoring manned and unmanned air and space flights to simple tasks like remote meter readings.

An example of one of the great beneficiaries of this technology is the medical industry and communications equipment. Where we would be and how many of us might not have survived medical emergencies or trauma had it not been for wireless medical telemetry technology? We have at our services multi-band technology that the unique ability to utilize three independent telemetry bands to increase hospital flexibility and capacity. These things along with cost efficiency and expandability are of primary concern to medical facilities in selecting wireless equipment for patient care and monitoring.

Reliability is the most important consideration and objective, and patient safety cannot be unnecessarily compromised. Reliability is somewhat dependent on telemetry band selection but more dependent on the communications architecture when the system is being used. The FCC has developed new regulations for patient monitoring devices to prevent any interruption of telemetry being used. These rules enable hospitals to use the equipment that have on the 2.4 ghz ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) or the equipment must be WMTS (Wireless medical Telemetry Service). The latter is the only system capable of supporting multiple bands outside digital television broadcast channels meaning there is no possibility of potential interference from other systems and wireless devices. There are multiple uses of telemetry monitoring including wireless stress tests and ECG monitoring, and this ability enables continued growth and expansion of parameters in monitoring telemetry.

These new wireless systems are functional not only in hospital settings but also ambulances, emergency aircraft, and other emergency medical support agencies. The technology enables treatment of critical patients in lower acuity beds and increases the number of telemetry channels needed eliminating the need for more expensive intensive and critical care hospital units and associated personnel. It is more cost effective in all ways as the additional channels and bandwidth supports more parameters and has the potential to both provide better patient care and reduce health care costs delivering real benefits to patients and medical caregivers.

We have come a long way in the uses of telemetry technology and wireless technology promises more and better benefits in future applications.
