Effect of lifestyle choices on Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) pulsations Journal of Applied Consciousness Studies

Abstract: CSF flow plays a critical role in clearing metabolic waste from the brain. The flow depends on several factors, including cardiac and respiratory oscillations. The process of CSF pulsations also follows a circadian pattern and plays a central role in maintaining the homeostasis of the Brain and the Central Nervous System (CNS). Any disruption to this flow triggers a homeostatic imbalance in the central nervous system and could increase the risk of several chronic conditions, including Alzheimer’s. This commentary highlights recent research to articulate the importance of CSF flow and provides insights into the drivers of the CSF flow.

Childhood trauma research in India at Wellness Space (Update: Jun ’25)

Childhood trauma research, coaching and training at Wellness Space, Ahmedabad, India At Wellness Space, over the past several years, we have worked on understanding the root causes that lead to internalizing and externalizing symptoms.  One of the core issues or root causes is exposure to repeated trauma of high intensity during childhood.  Despite the extensive global evidence, there is limited childhood trauma research in India.  Hence, we decided to pursue it.  At the moment, we have extensive published evidence supporting the role of childhood trauma as a significant risk factor in several internalizing issues (Such as depression and anxiety, insomnia,

Parenting style assessment (PSDQ)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YykFyDmonk Diana Baumrind, a clinical and developmental psychologist, coined the following parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive/indulgent. We have done extensive work on assessing these styles and explore what influences the styles, and how parents can recognize the impact of their parenting style on child's growth and development. In our workshop on "Pathways to Positive Parenting", we encourage the parents to understand their parenting style and, based on that, facilitate better interactions with the children.  Four parenting styles are highlighted below for reference. Riri and Anagha's book on parenting also covers the types of parenting styles and how to pursue

Effect of Lifestyle Choices on Cerebrospinal Fluid Pulsations

Our recent publication highlights the Effect of Lifestyle Choices on Cerebrospinal Fluid Pulsations. This research extends our work linking lifestyle choices with (a) chronic disease risk, (b) immune system imbalance risk, and (c) mental health issues-related risk.   The article highlights the importance of enhancing autonomic function through slow breathing (for example, research we have done on Bhramari and self-hypnosis gets additional backing through the findings of this review article). Several examples of the role of circadian rhythms and the need to align our lives to that rhythm are also provided. Abstract: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow plays a critical role in
