Yogic Practices for a Beautiful, Healthy Life: The Beginning

Yog is a perfect and precise science practiced by the vedic seers for thousands of years and given to us in its pristine form, through the ancient practice of Guru-shishya parampara. The rules of yog stay the same even today despite the lifestyles of individuals undergoing a sea change. Yog is not about rapid breathing exercises, or tying yourself in knots, it is a beautiful journey of the self.  The benefits of yog have been experienced by the practitioner when they have taken up the practice in its entirety. Just as a patient would benefit from the Doctor’s prescription if and only if the patient takes the medication in its entirety, similarly yog has to be seen as a divine prescription, which cannot be altered as per individual’s comfort for acceptance. Further to reap the benefits of these practices you have to practice them regularly because you cannot cure yourself of the disease just by reading the prescription, you need to take the medicine as well.

सुंदर, स्वस्थ और तनावमुक्त जीवन के लिए करे योग

योग एक सम्पूर्ण विज्ञान है जो हजारों वर्ष पूर्व वैदिक ऋषियों ने गुरु-शिष्य परम्परा द्वारा हमें दिया हालाँकि आज के समय में मानव जीवन शैली में एक बड़ा परिवर्तन आया है किन्तु योग के नियम आज भी वही हैं। तेजी से साँस लेना, उछल कूद करना, अपने शरीर को मोड़ना तोड़ना, यह सब योग नही है, योग तो स्वयं को जानने की एक सुंदर यात्रा है। इस यात्रा में साधना का लाभ तभी अनुभव किया जा सकता है जब योग को संपूर्णता से किया जाए। जैसे एक मरीज को डॉक्टर के नुस्खे से लाभ तभी होगा जब मरीज उसकी दवा संपूर्णता से ले, वैसे ही योग एक दिव्य नुस्खे के रूप में देखा जाना चाहिए, जिसमें व्यक्तिगत सुविधा के अनुसार परिवर्तन नहीं किया जा सकता। इसके अलावा योग क्रियाओं का लाभ पाने के लिए इनका अभ्यास नियमित रूप से करना अनिवार्य है क्योंकि आप किसी भी बीमारी का इलाज केवल डॉक्टर का नुस्खा पढ़कर नहीं कर सकते, आपको उसके द्वारा दी गई दवा लेनी ही होगी। योगी अश्वनी   योग सीधे शब्दों में जीवन के सभी पहलुओं में तथा सभी पहलुओं के साथ जुड़ना है। इसके लिए दुनिया को त्याग, पहाड़ों पर जाने की कोई आवश्यकता नहीं है। योग साधक, परिव...

ANTI-AGEING – BREATHE IT RIGHT

If you trace a person from being an infant to a full grown adult, you will notice, in most cases, a progressive decline in the skin texture and complexion. A baby is glowing pink whereas most adults, even in their prime youth, are plagued with a diseased skin and dull complexion.  In the process of growing up, one is exposed to certain unnatural practices and stimuli from which it was kept protected in the womb. Take for example the simple act of breathing. If you observe how a baby breathes, you would notice a pronounced abdominal movement. The stomach inflates as it breathes in and deflates as it breathes out. If you observe your own breathing patterns, most likely, you will find it to be the opposite and with little or no abdominal movement…this breathing pattern of yours holds the key to the way you look and your present state of health. Abdominal breathing maximizes the up and down movement of the diaphragm and ensures that the lungs function at their optimal level, ...

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 s...
