Conscious Diaphragmatic Breathing Steps: Complete Guide

Do you know conscious breathing is the single most important intervention that can make you happy and healthy? It can help you to release the energy blockages in your whole system.

In this article, we explain the benefits of conscious breathing and the art of purifying the 23000 breaths of the day. You will learn the key conscious breathing techniques like mindful breathing, yoga breathing and diaphragmatic breathing.

Breathing is normally an automatic process. It is subconsciously controlled by the respiratory center at the base of the brain, in the brain stem. This part of the brain controls the basic breathing mechanisms that keep us alive, and maintain our heartbeats.

In normal breathing, you don’t have to think about each step of your breath. Your brain automatically adjusts your breathing steps, just as your brain will occasionally insert a sigh when you need more oxygen.

We still breathe when we are unconscious, or asleep. People can also control their breathing when they wish, for example during speech, singing, or voluntary breathing exercises. Researchers observed that, breathing mindfully slower and deeper improves arterial oxygenation, cardiac output, and pulmonary gas-exchange efficiency.

Hadoop Architecture in Big Data: YARN, HDFS, and MapReduce

What is Hadoop? | What is Hadoop Architecture? | HDFS Architecture | YARN Architecture | MapReduce | The Takeaway

Do you want to know more about the Hadoop Architecture in Big Data? HDFS, MapReduce, and YARN are the three important concepts of Hadoop. In this tutorial, you will learn the Apache Hadoop HDFS and YARN Architecture in details. 

What is Hadoop?

Hadoop is an open source framework that allows for the distributed processing of large datasets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is from Apache and is used to store process and analyze data which are very huge in volume. The summary of the Hadoop framework is as follows:

In a nutshell, Hadoop provides a reliable shared storage and analysis system for big data. The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is specially designed to be highly fault-tolerant. 

Hadoop employs a NameNode and DataNode architecture to implement the HDFS, which provides high-performance access to data across highly scalable Hadoop clusters. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage.

Hadoop Version 2.0 and above, employs YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) Architecture, which allows different data processing methods like graph processing, interactive processing, stream processing as well as batch processing to run and process data stored in HDFS.… Read more..

AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud: A Comparative Review

A comparative review of the AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud is very important in the modern context. Code free complete machine learning lifecycle is the key trend for the modern cloud computing platforms.

As companies are going for more on code free deep learning and other high-end IoT technologies, selecting suitable cloud platforms are vital for corporate growth. In this article, we’re going to help you decide between the three giants of cloud computing.

Cloud computing Foundation

Before going into the prominence in the cloud market, Google, Amazon and Microsoft are the market leaders in their respective fields. Each has unique advantage. All these three major cloud providers have also attempted to create many general-purpose services that are relatively easy to use by the end users. 

Price, speed, performance, flexibility, and features are the five key criteria normally used to select the best cloud computing platform for your jobs. 

The cloud computing makes it easy for enterprises to experiment with machine learning capabilities and scale up as projects go into production and demand for those features increases.

GPUs are the key hardwires and the processors in the cloud computing  of choice for many complex machine learning applications because they significantly reduce processing time.… Read more..

Deep Compassion: Neuroscience and the 114 Chakras

One of the objectives of human life is to cultivate great compassion for higher evolution. In our Ray 114 chakra meditation tradition, there are a group of chakras and a group of energy channels, which are deeply associated with compassion, kindness and empathy. In our tradition, we often refer them as the Karuna chakras and Karuna nadis. 

The neural basis of compassion is also deeply linked with the 114 chakras and the 72000 nadis in the human body. In this article, we will discuss the neuroscience and the deep spirituality associated with the great compassion energy channels (nadis) and the energy vortexes (chakras).
