Tension Taming

Tension Taming You know the feeling…a headache in the making. One of the most common causes of headaches is stress. Tension headaches are often caused by emotional distress, anxiety and anger. When you are upset, you tense the facial and jaw muscles, constricting blood flow to the brain. Headaches can also signal low blood sugar, sinus infections, vision problems, insomnia and food sensitivities, so consult your physician if headaches persist or are extreme. It’s possible to head tension headaches off at the pass by learning to tame your tension. When you feel tense or worried, start with some long deep breathing. Drink plenty of water, do a meditation to release the emotions, or take a soothing bath. Yogis know the benefits of neck lock in reducing headache-causing tension by allowing the energy to flow more freely to your brain. Another effective headache helper is a simple neck stretch. Breathe deeply as you stretch to release fear, anger, resentment or emotio...

மன அழுத்தத்தை குறைக்க சில வழிகள்(Stress - To be Reduced)

இன்றைய பரப்பரப்பான சூழ்நிலையில் எல்லாருக்கும் இருக்கும் ஒரு பிரச்சனை மன அழுத்தம். இது நம்முள் அமைதியாய் இருந்து பின்பு தன சுயரூபத்தை வெளியில் காட்டி நம் உடல் நலத்தையும் பாதிக்கசெய்கிறது . எனவே நாம் நம் மன அழுத்தத்தை கட்டுபடுத்தி நம் ஆரோக்கியத்தை பேணிகாத்து கொள்ளவேண்டும். 1) நமக்காக நேரத்தை அவசியம் ஒதுக்க வேண்டும். டென்சன் ஏற்படும்போதும் ,அசதியாக இருக்கும் போதும் நாம் நமக்கு போதிய ஓய்வை எடுத்துக்கொள்ள வேண்டும். 2) நேரத்தையும், நமது வேலைகளையும் நாம் கவனமாக திட்டமிடுதல் வேண்டும் 3) நம் ஆரோக்கியத்தை பேணிக்காக்க வேண்டும் 4) நமக்கு வரும் பெரிய மாறுதல்களை நம் வாழ்க்கையில் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள பழகிக்கொள்ள வேண்டும் 5) யாரிடமாவது நமது பிரச்சனையை மனம் விட்டு பேசி பழகிக்கொள்ள வேண்டும் 6) நாம் நமது குடும்பத்தாரிடமும் , நண்பர்களிடமும் நல்ல ஆரோக்கியமான உறவை கொடுக்க வேண்டும் 7) நம்மை நாமே நேசிக்கா விட்டால் பின் யார் நேசிப்பது? எனவே உங்களை நீங்களே நேசயுங்கள், நேர்மறையான எண்ணங்களை வளர்த்து கொள்ளுங்கள் 8) " முடியாது "என்பதை தேவைப்படும்போது மட்டும் பயன்படுத்த பழகிக்கொள்ளவேண்டும் 9)...

             யோகம் + ஆசனம் பொதுவாக யோகா என்றாலே உடலை வளைத்து செய்யும் பயிற்சி என்று பெண்களும் , வயதானவர்களில் பெரும்பாலனோர் கருதுகின்றனர்.             Yoga + Asana ---- Usually most of the women and elderly persons think that Yoga is simply to bend and twist their body to perform it but its not of that point.            யோகத்தின் எட்டு அங்கங்கள் என வர்ணிக்கப்படும் இயமம் நியமம் ஆசனம் பிராணாயாமம் பிரத்யாகாரம் தாரணை தியானம் சமாதி        Yoga is basically classified on Eight Stages (8 Limbs of Yoga) by Maharishi Patanjali as Yama Niyama Asana Pranayama Prathyahara Dharana Dhyana Samadhi      போன்றவற்றில் ஒரு பகுதிதான் ஆசனம். நீண்ட நேர தியானத்திற்கு புலக்கட்டுபாடு , மன ஒருமைப்பாடு தேவைப்படுகிறது.        As said above…. Asana is just a part of the Yoga. In order to maintain a meditation f...

Pancha Maha Bhutas

The Five Magnificent Elements Of Nature The manifest world of Prakrithi is made up of five principle elements known as the   Pancha Maha Bhutas . These   are   Pritvi   or   Bhumi (earth),   Apas   or   Jala   (water),   Tejas   or   Agni   (fire),   Vayu   (air), and Akasha   (ether, sky or space).   The Yogic concept of   Chakras   or energy vortices within us runs parallel to the   Pancha Maha Bhutas . Each of the elements namely earth, water, fire, air and space is related to a particular Spinal Chakra and specific qualities as well as specific colorful shapes known as   Mandalas . The potential energy of the Chakra is activated by the specific sounds known as   Bhija   Mantras . May we all sing the praises of the five magnificent element of nature with joy and abandon, as they are verily manifestations of the Divine. May we preserve them with reverence,...

Pancha Koshas

In Yoga therapy   it is vital that we take into consideration all of the following aspects that are part of an integrated approach to the problem. These include a healthy life nourishing diet, a healthy and natural environment, a wholistic lifestyle, adequate bodywork through Asanas, Mudras and Kriyas, invigorating breath work through the use of Pranayama and the production of a healthy thought process through the higher practices of Jnana and Raja Yoga. The application of Yoga therapy can be correlated with the Pancha Koshas and various Yoga practices may be used as therapeutic interventions at different levels in this respect. Annamaya Kosha : Jattis   (simple units of movements ), Mudras (gestures for energy generation and conservation), Kriyas (structured movements), Asanas (steady and comfortable postures) along with the dietary modifications and control. Kaya Kriya, Tala Kriya, Dridha Kriya are good examples of the Gitananda Yoga techniques that may be used at...

Bandha Trayam Of Gitananda Yoga

Bandha Trayam consists of three important neuromuscular locks. These are Moola Bandha (anal lock), Uddiyana Bandha (fly-up, abdominal lock) and Jalandhara Bandha (chin lock). These are applied during different phases of   Pranayama   as well as during the Oli   Mudras   for energy purposes. They are an important component of Yoga Sadhana and especially very important if the practitioner wants to perform Pranayama with long Kumbhakas (restraints). It is dangerous to perform   Kumbhaka   without proper use of the lungs. The Bandhas regulate changes in the intra abdominal and intra thoracic pressures that affect abdominal and thoracic organs to a great extent. Jalandhara Bandha regulates the flow of blood to the cephalic region of the head, actually accelerating blood drainage from the vital organs of the head and the neck. Without this Bandha, blood normally stagnates in the organs of the head causing tension of the eyes and producing such conditions a...
