Yoga for Kidney Stones (Part 2)

Our physical body is only one-fifth of us, there are four more layers to us. And it is these layers that control what happens in the physical body composed of elements. The science of yog and Sanatan Kriya taps into the power of a being in totality, touching upon all the layers. For the purpose of this article, we will discuss the layer next to the physical body, the pranmaya kosha, which is often called as the aura. This layer consists of millions of chakras and nadis which regulate and channelise the flow of prana in the body and in turn are responsible of proper functioning of various organs of the body. In the previous article, we started to discuss the problem of kidney stones. In the realm of energy or prana, kidneys are controlled by the swadishthan and mool chakra. Detailed below are certain asanas which work to rectify imbalances in the two chakras and are helpful in eliminating kidney stones. It is recommended that you visit your neare...

Yoga and anger management – I

Have you been getting very angry lately? Is anger your second nature? Are you angry all the time? If your answer is yes then you are moving towards the next problem after anger which is hypertension. It is a manifestation of the weakening of the heart. Excess of negativity and hypertension weakens the heart muscles controlled by the Mooladhar chakra. Just relax and rub your hands together to warm them up and slowly bring them together at your mooladhar chakra. You’ll feel some tingling at the tips of your fingers.  If the chakra is weak, you will feel nothing and your hands will come together without any resistance. If it’s strong, you’ll feel pulsations and resistance as your hands try to come near each other. The basic reason for the mool chakra becoming weak is hyperactivity which exhausts the vital prana. Don’t forget that prana is limited. The cells of your body cannot be recharged. You can only spend it and hyperactivity ensures you spend it fast. If you want to...

THE HEALING PRANA - BRINGING DOWN FEVER

Spiritual Healing is a potent ancient science, which when done under the guidance of a Guru, in a detached manner gives miraculous results.  In our previous articles, we discussed simple yet powerful techniques of Self –Healing. In this issue I will take you to the next level of Healing, which is, ‘Healing for Others’. It is important to understand here, that like everything in Creation, the ancient science of Spiritual Healing is also based on the ‘Law o f Karma’. When a person is healed, a healer with the aid of the consciousness, connects with the forces of the Creation to effectuate a change in the subject’s body, it therefore becomes important for the subject once healed to give back to Creation what he/she took, by doing service and charity. Otherwise the disease returns.  The process of Healing for others is divided into four parts:  a) Basic Preparation  b) Diagnostic Analysis c) Aided Purification  d) Projection and Rejuvenation B...

Importance of Makar Sankranti

The Sanskrit term ‘sankranti’ translates as ‘transference’ and is used to indicate the movement of sun from one constellation to the next through the year…Our ancients had known the nuances of creation, the motion of sun and the planets, shape, size and location of various heavenly bodies millennia ago. The observance of twelve sankrantis in a year is an apt example. What our ancients also knew, and what majority has forgotten, is the science of energy, the shakti of the various heavenly bodies and the changes in energy pattern of creation as they underwent transition. Sun or Surya, is a shakti, which is of especial importance to the dwellers of earth. It is the energy, which sustains life on the planet, something which is uncontested by modern science. The brilliance of the sun is an experience which each one of us has had, so brilliant that it is not possible to look at the bright sun with naked eye. The rishis of yore followed the sun. Gita says, you become what you follow. An...

Navaratri : Realignment of Prana Shakti

Defining the process of evolution in a human being

The entire Creation runs on prana shakti, the eternal life-force, an all-pervading phenomenon. All objects, animate and inanimate, are made of prana – including the five elements—prithvi (earth), jal (water), akash (ether), vayu (air), and agni (fire). These elements or the P​aanch Mahaprana exist in various permutations and combinations to form different things in Creation including our body. It is these elements that make one woman pretty while another not so; cause one man to be healthy and another to be diseased. P​aanch Mahaprana, is the immediate force which governs the physical body and with this the mudras (movements of the hands & fingers). The relation of all five elements with their respective fingers means we can, at will, increase or decrease specific elements in the body, which also forms the basis of our chakras which as we know control the functioning of the physical body. But, before we move on to the kriya, it is essential to understand how these eleme...

BINDING THOUGHTS

The Healing Prana Series: Yatu Vidya, from Atharvaveda

A diseased body is nothing but a result of an imbalance. This imbalance can be corrected by  Spiritual Healing  while ensuring that the root cause of the disease is removed without any damage to the physical body. Unlike most modern medical sciences, that tend to suppress the disease or kill the diseased cell, which is the symptom, Spiritual Healing transforms the cause of the disease. Spiritual Healing finds mention in one of the 4  Vedas  called the  Atharvaved a given by Rishi Angiras under the section of  Yatu Vidya  where it has been explained in detail. Yatu   stands for now and Spiritual Healing also happens with no time lag. It effectuates the healing from the dimension of colour. There are different colours with millions of shades in this Creation. Each shade is associated with specific attributes. Some are pleasant, soothing, some represent love, some Divinity, some stand for power, some for anger, and some are dull and depressi...

Graveness of crime against nature by Yogi Ashwini

YOGA PRACTICES FOR A BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY LIFE

What are pranas?

Prana is the essence of manifest creation. It may be understood as a frequency, a vibration. Prana first is exists as a thought, which manifests through consciousness into sound, then colours and eventually into the five elements that make up everything around us including our body. When a grosser frequency of prana enters the body (clairaudients hear it as an abnormal sound of the cells, clairvoyants see it as a heavy colour) it creates imbalance in the body, disease is a symptom of this imbalance. The pain and discomfort that we feel in such a condition is nothing but a grosser frequency of prana. Healers remove this heavy frequency of prana and replenish the body with subtler prana and immediately the person feels relieved. Similar phenomenon is observed in nature as well. Selfish and animalistic thoughts and deeds manifest as grosser frequencies of prana which pollute the environment and create havoc in Creation. Earthquakes and other natural disasters are a manifestation...

Anti-ageing: Breathe it right

ANTI-AGEING | BREATHE IT RIGHT By: Yogi Ashwini 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.  This is because, 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 a baby breathing, 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 movemen...

The Yoga Revolution

http://m.speakingtree.in/spiritual-blogs/masters/science-of-spirituality/the-yoga-revolution Patanjali Yogsutras were given 4500 years ago and do not give description of any asana. There is only one line - 'sthir sukham asanam'. That is, a posture in which you are still and at peace. So any posture that can be maintained for long hours without movement or discomfort is an asana. Sage Patanjali is called the Fountainhead of Yoga. The purpose of asana is cleansing the body – nadis (etheric channels) and chakras (energy centres). 4500 years ago, there was no requirement for this cleansing, the thought, actions and environment were relatively pure and conducive to the practice of Yoga. Therefore, no mention of asanas in Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga. With passage of time, the bodies and minds started becoming polluted as did the environment, therefore various forms of Yoga came in, and around 500 ye...

What is truth?

The truth behind the inevitability of change in nature and the human body. Your body, the flowers and trees, the sun, the moon, water…they are all changing all the time. What you looked like 10 years back or even a year back is not what you are this instant. The body is constantly moving towards destruction. A new set of cells replaces the cells in your body every seven years. Even what you see as death has happened so many times before; it is just that you are only able to understand it when the body is taken to the shamshan . Just think about it…today your hair are grey, ten years back they were black. So are you that same person who had black hair? The prana that governs your body too is undergoing a change with every passing thought of yours. In fact, it is because the prana is changing that the body too is undergoing a change. So which is the truth, what things were a moment back or what they will be this instant? What is changing even that is not truth, b...

Prana ka adhaan pradhaan

Unveil the real you

The world of the spirit starts where logic ends. Though logic, in the modern world, is the ultimate test of reason and the pinnacle of intelligent thought, minds on a higher plane see logic as ‘lower intelligence’ limited by the boundaries of reason which is further limited by the limitations of the individual’s buddhi. Which probably explains why every school of spiritualism or any mystical practice emphasises experience over analysis. Also, why the overtly questioning mind chatters incessantly only at the peripheries of the spirit-kingdom, seldom able to penetrate its very core. Forget the core. It cannot even unravel the first layer. However, since the current world speaks and comprehends only the tongue of logic, we shall try to understand the aura, a subject firmly embedded in the spirit realm in this context. All bodies emit heat radiation or vibrations. This is a superficial or logical explanation of what auras are and why they are constant or changing. A lot of ‘scien...
