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,...

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 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...
