hi folks
,
This is my second thread on the forum
, and i hope it helps everyone out here
....
As the name goes, this thread is all about YOGA exercises for good health.....
i've been mailing Yoga excercises to our PG folks since some time, but i felt that every one shud be benefitted by them...... hence a new thread
.......
Yoga provides one of the best means of self-improvement and attaining one's full potential........ it breaks down the stress levels of the body and helps us to maintain a very good health....
It is not at all related to any religion or caste or what ever............. It is all about humanity and love for oneself and society......
.....
it is all about realising the true inner self
......
i wud like to quote something i read recently in a website.....

Science has the ability to understand and manipulate energy. With this power Western science has created much and destroyed much. The same applies to the Eastern science of yoga. The majority of what we know ourselves to be is comprised of nature--atoms and all that is a compound of them. The science of yoga considers thought and mind to be composed of matter: subtle matter, but matter none the less. Through the practice of mental concentration one can enter into the science of yoga. Once adept at this practice one begins to learn to manipulate nature. The usual first step is the stilling and strengthening of body and mind. Once you can still your mind you develop the power, and it is a power like any other, of yogic concentration.

Swami vivekananda says,
The fire of Yoga burns the cage of sin that is around a man. Knowledge becomes purified and Nirvana is directly obtained. From Yoga comes knowledge; know ledge again helps the Yogi. He who combines in himself both Yoga and knowledge, with him the Lord is pleased. Those that practise Mahayoga, either once a day, or twice a day, or thrice, or always, know them to be gods. Yoga is divided into two parts. One is called Abhava, and the other, Mahayoga. Where one's self is meditated upon as zero, and bereft of quality, that is called Abhava. That in which one sees the self as full of bliss and bereft of all impurities, and one with God, is called Mahayoga. The Yogi, by each one, realises his Self. The other Yogas that we read and hear of, do not deserve to be ranked with the excellent Mahayoga in which the Yogi finds himself and the whole universe as God. This is the highest of all Yogas.
Yoga is a vast collection of spiritual techniques and practices all aimed at integrating mind, body and spirit and achieving a state of enlightenment or oneness with the universe........
moreover.... we pagals shud stay healthy to ROCK ON....

*(source : Yogic Cure for Common Diseases -- by Dr.Phulgenda Sinha)

NADI SHODAN
A simple centering technique, Nadi Shodan will help clear your mind of distracting thoughts whether you are planning on meditating or just want to relax. Sit upright in as comfortable a position as possible that keeps your spine erect. Hold your right hand near your nose, palm facing you, with your thumb and ring finger curled and the other fingers flattened. Close your eyes and relax. Using your thumb to close your right nostril, inhale slowly and deeply through your left nostril. At the end of your inhalation release your thumb and use your ring finger to close your left nostril; exhale slowly and compleatly through the right. Keep the same posture and breathe in through your right nostril, switching thumb and finger at the end again to breathe out through the left. This is one 'pranayam'--a cycle of twenty pranayams is good for beginners. The pranayam should be done smoothly and gradually, don't hold your breath on the inhale or pause on the exhale--just breathe slowly, deeply, and as one smooth process.
ANULOM-VILOM
A general cleansing technique, Anulom-vilom will help clear your sinuses and nasal passages. The posture and method is the same as Nadi Shodan, with few changes. Exhaling quickly through the left nostril, then inhale quickly and deeply; exhale quickly through the right nostril, then inhale deeply and quickly--this is one pranayam. Continue, alternating nostrils, for fifteen or twenty pranayams.
the second exercise is especially used for healing head aches............. one more thing ppl.......... do them only as long as u feel comfortable..........
the main purpose is to relax......
guyz, i need feedback from all of u........ try them out for the first week........and tell me how u felt..........
