The Structure of our bodies, whether lean or fat, thin, muscled, speedy , red faced or pale faced tell us something about the traits that govern our temperament, character and abilities.
Ancient Indian Medicinal Texts , which form the basis of Ayurveda also mention the variations in body appearances divided basically into 3 types, Pitta Vatta and Kapha.
Phrenology or Physiogomy are considered mystical science in comparison to genotype structuring ( The Human Genome Project ) which also identify variable characteristics by mapping our genes and allocating functions and shapes to it.
Even Ramakrishna Paramhansa, a mystic and teacher to Swami Vivekanada, warned his disciples to be careful from short statured people whose growth has been curtailed by nature.
Accupressure also could have a basis in the structure of the body as only those points are stimulated from the surface which could have a effect on specific emotions or acts.
Neurological studies also point to different centres in the brain which account for emotions and behaviour. But do we know why such centres have different sizes for example the temporal lobe in musicians is found to be larger than others.
Physical aspects do predict mental ones.
Our aim is to identify those people which could have an influence on our growth and relationships.

A Dowsers Tale
LOGIC IS ONLY THE ART OF GOING WRONG WITH CONFIDENCE- JOSEPH WOOD
Fables percolate through the fabric of age and find their way into the universal psyche. But, what happens if enough secrecy is maintained by generations, that it is no longer common / spoken of / acknowledged even by those who maintain them.
An article in THE SPECTATOR, published to explain the gold run up to its zenith of 745 $ an ounce, commented that gold as an investment was to scale further up in the days to come. What was more interesting in the article written by Allister Heath, occupied a minuscule space, and could have been missed by many .
Between the years 1999 to 2002, the then chancellor of Great Britain, Gordon Brown , sold through the Bank of England a whopping 12.7 million ounces of gold bars, nearly half its stock at $ 275 an ounce, at the then prevailing rate Again, not very interesting news, as Banks all around the world accommodate their government with funds by pledging gold or selling it, as they deemed right.
The turn in the story is that the Chinese , brought 6.4 million ounces of this gold . Was it business acumen , foresight, plain luck or knowledge of things to come within the next 2 years, is not known. What is now known from the above is that Great Britain lost in a period of 3 years making 2.8 Billion Pounds by selling early.
On the other side the Chinese tripled their money. We have two opposing and distinct cultures in the British and the Chinese . The Western Culture is very stubborn in beliefs and pragmatic so each decision is considered by weighing its would be consequences from all visible angles. The Chinese on the other hand also do have a stubborn belief system, but while judging they also do consider the invisible forces of nature.
Most of the developed traditions in business forecasting in India are Westernised. Blindly following and accepting such a system makes us automatons. According to Anais Nin, " we cease to grow ". The West has always rejected profit or results if they are shorn of reason or rationale.
Besides consulting Price Pundits, Economic Watch Dogs, Future Predictive Consultants, and sometimes Astrologers, is it not healthy for Corporations that take decisions affecting thousands of families to consider using methods with a mix of esoteric and logic if it is beneficial ? Can we prevent such an error in India by resorting to means not considered logical.? Is it possible that using some finer and not so rational esoteric guidance along with the reasoning a more effective way in ensuring victory in trade.No harm in giving a fair trial.
Since the Chinese have never declared and shall never do so, to the method used by them, we shall refrain from indulging in fairy search But Dr. Treadwell, Chief Dowser and spokesperson for Hoffmann - La Rouche the giant Swiss pharmaceutical company recommends using dowsing methods to build new laboratories around the world . When asked why they used this skeptic method over the scientific , he said " We use methods that are profitable, whether they are scientifically explainable or not, The Dowsing method pays off ". For a company to acknowledge this type of dogma is certainly giving chance to build a fable. The scientific community or the artistic creed can take comfort from the fact that Leonardo-da-Vinci, Robert Boyle, Sir Isaac Newton, Lloyd George, Thomas A. Edison and Albert Einstein were all dowsers. Following a trend is very easy. From putting a red dot on the forehead, to wearing a certain charm or a gem studded ring, or even looking for hidden energies in numbers, are accepted beliefs and are regarded as a statement. But is Dowsing fashionable enough ? Does it have the capacity to create fables ? Morever what is it ?
To go into details of what is Dowsing ? What is the success rate ? Why is there so much skepticism against it ? Why is it not so common like Tarot and Numerology ? and a lot many more questions require another dedicated article ,
Each story has a lesson , a moral to be learnt. The way to achieve maximum output from any venture is to consider all angles, visible or invisible. To overcome limitations of one method by complementing with another is intelligence. To realise the limitations of intelligence and substantiate with another method is Wisdom.. The Bank of England that had the stocks of gold but could not generate the 2.8 billion pounds out of it, does not mean that they did not use their intelligence in selling , but wisdom to check the finite human intelligence would have definatley be more useful.
We all have our resources. Banks have money and gold, Corporations have manpower and machines, the Government has tax money and natural resources ,Individuals have a Will and intelligence, then why not explore the methods rational or otherwise to gain insight into the avenues of expansion and progress. Is it nessecary that to achieve something we need to look whether it is fashionable trendy and also logically correct ? If so how would business leaders achieve something which marks a radical turn from normal practice and create a new Mantra. Every time an Entrepreneur leaves the dreary, old beaten track and blazes a new trail, there are hundreds waiting to follow it, So why do we hesitate to use things which can be profitable, but need not be scientific or logical ? Dowsing uses are greatly underestimated. Dowsing has a vast scope whereby you can dowse to locate underground water or search for natural resources.
Assuming this to be true, the uses of dowsing in our daily life, which struggles for existence, would afford solace and many ready solutions
