sensory organs always in pleasant mood.

Eyes: Keep as much green shade as possible in your study/working room. If possible, fill your balcony with flowerpots. An aquarium also gives a feeling of relaxing. Flickering light is a stress to your eyes. Sleep well. Deep sleep is different from long sleep.

Aroma: According to a highly acknowledged scientific book, "Mind ways to Health", humans can distinguish ten thousand different odours and because the part of the brain that analyses odours is intimately connected to emotional centres of the cortex, smell can really affect the way we feel. Aromas can distract the mind from unpleasant thoughts. Peppermint has long been valued as an aid to clear thinking and recent research suggests that a whiff of mint can motivate people before exercise.

Food: Chilly pepper and other spices produce a feeling of pleasurable sensory stimulation. Chocolate stimulates Serotionin in the brain bringing pleasant feeling. On the negative side, `Capsaicin' the chemical in chilly pepper interferes with the nerves that send `feeling full' messages to the brain. Excessive fats in chocolates, pizzas and cool drinks cause a sleepy feeling, due to the diversion of blood and oxygen away from the brain to the digestive areas.
