Is Thyroid bugging you? Yoga can help!

Thyroid, at the elemental level it is seen as an imbalance of the ether element that interferes with the functioning of udaan vayu. At the physical level, it manifests as hypo-thyroidism or hyper-thyroidism disturbing the body metabolic processes. Some of the symptoms include sudden change in weight, thinning of hair, sluggishness or nervousness, husky voice, skin changes, abnormal menstrual flow.
Such a condition may be attributed to emotional turmoil or hyperactivity, which lead to congestion of prana at the solar plexus. This disrupts free flow of prana in the pranamaya kosha. Each of the chakras in the pranic body controls certain physical processes of the body. An imbalance at the pranic level thus manifests as a disease in the physical body. Thyroid indicates the malfunctioning of the Visshudhi Chakra.
Sanatan Kriya, which is a wholesome practice to help the modern man cope with routine challenges of emotional and physical stress, includes certain techniques to stimulate the Visshuddhi.

1. HALASANA
Lie down straight on your back. Inhale. Slowly raise both the legs and take them over your head, finally touching the toes to the floor. Palms can be placed either at the lower back to provide support or can be taken backwards touching the toes.

2. KANDHARASANA
Lie flat on the back, bending the knees bring heels close to the hip. Hold the ankles with the hands. Keeping the shoulder and head firmly on the ground start raising the hips and back, till the back is completely arched and the pelvis thrusts outwards, lock your chin into the chest.
These asanas are not suitable for people with stomach ailments and spinal injuries. Ayurveda prescribes intake of 3 to 4 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil everyday  to stimulate the functioning of thyroid gland.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

By
Shiv is the doer and may be likened to a vehicle. If you remove ‘i’ from Shiv, it becomes ‘shav’ (corpse). The ‘i’ represents Shakti, which is the fuel that energises this vehicle to perform action. Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...

Chakra Beej Kriya: Part 1

By
Yog is not about twisting and turning yourself into knots and complicated postures, yog taps into the power of consciousness. As you practice yog in totality, as prescribed, you start glowing and the immunity of the body heightens, slowly you begin to exude the glow of the sun. The body that we greet in the mirror everyday is run by a higher force, which is invisible to the naked eye but very clearly visible to a clairvoyant in the form of colours and to a clairaudient in the form of specific sounds. These colours and sounds correspond to certain energy centers in the body, which control and govern various body parts and functions. Much before you identify symptoms of a disease or ailment and decide to visit a doctor, these symptoms are perceived by a yogic practitioner in the form of change in colour, texture, size and sound of various chakras. Sanatan Kriya prescribes various techniques under the topic of self-healing to access this invisible sheath of the body and through...
