From my personal experience and a short healing tenure, I am writing this complete guide on reiki healing,  what is reiki, 5 reiki symbols, principles, and  Reiki healing in curing chronic health issues. If you to wish experience the reiki healing effects, you can book a session with me here.

Living miles away from your parents who are aged and ailing could be heartbreaking.

There is little scope for offering your helping hands to the people you love the most. 

One morning my mother was sadly describing my father’s deteriorating health, including some sort of severe weakness while walking and doing his daily chores. 

Since my childhood, I am used to watching my father who encompasses immense energy and is highly active. So just a thought of my “weak father” was enough to invoke the hidden empathy within my heart.

Remembering those childhood moments which I spent with him, I started praying to God to send him instant energy so that he could feel better and start enjoying his life again. 

“By that time, I was entirely unaware of the reiki healing,  or its effects.” (Just A pinch of familiarity with the word reiki).

On the same evening, I called to check my father’s condition and was surprised to hear his cheerful voice after a long time…on the other hand, **I WAS FEELING WEAK FROM MY CORE. 

A few hours later, on the same day, I came across a fabulous course on Reiki Healing… it was a calling… I absorbed the course quickly and nicely… sometimes, I wonder when I think about this account of “manifestations”.

What Is Reiki

Reiki is a form of energy healing therapy. It was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui in the 1920s. In Japanese, “reiki” means universal life energy. (“spiritually guided life force energy”)

According to the yogic philosophies, 

the reiki energy flows through the Pranamaya kosha, the “sheath of vital energy.” You can learn about your body’s five koshas- the 5 sheaths of illusions here.

This electric, lightning energy flows freely in a person who is in perfect health.

But due to the modern lifestyle and other environmental conditions, when it gets disrupted or blocked, it manifests in the form of diseases- mental and physical. 

Reiki healing is a method by which these disrupted energies are harmonized and channelized to manifest into optimum health.

Ancient yogic philosophies believed that we all are energetic beings and that our bodies have energy fields. This energy is the deciding factor behind our well-being. Therefore, whenever for any reason, there is a hindrance in the smooth flow of this energy, it causes illnesses. 

Reiki healing works by promoting and aligning this energy to ensure mental, emotional, and spiritual healing in living and even sometimes nonliving* too.

(*Because living or nonliving… all matter in this universe is made up of energy. Think about the physics, the atoms, the subatomic particles, etc. Combining and recombining creating molecules, compounds; decomposing, changing forms, and so on…)

Five Reiki Symbols- Aids Of A Reiki Healer

A Reiki Healer focuses on opening your chakras (energy centers) by incorporating special symbols and hand positions for energetically healing your body. Learn about your 7-Chakras here.

 The process of healing clears your mind and focuses your energy where it’s needed the most. Once the negative thoughts and feelings are subsided the healing process begins.

Reiki symbols alert the subconscious mind to change the behavior of  Reiki energy. The symbols need to be activated before channeling the energy toward a person. The reiki healer can visualize, say their name- in mind or loud, or can draw with the help of their palms, or eyes. The symbols are activated with the help of an intention.

These Five Symbols Are:

Cho Ku Rei: The power symbol

If you’re looking to either increase or decrease power, Cho Ku Rei is the symbol for you. It has a resemblance with a drawing of a coil (which can be drawn in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction) and represents chi or the transfer of energy throughout the body.

Sei He ki: The emotional healing symbol

The general meaning of sei he ki is “God and man become one,” and the drawing of the symbol resembles either a wave cresting and getting ready to crash over a beach or a bird’s wing. 

Dai Kyo Mo: The Master Reiki Symbol

The healing powers of dai ko myo are all-inclusive, healing the upper chakras, the aura, and the soul as a whole. Dai ko myo is the empowerment symbol, and means “great enlightenment” or “bright shining light.” By promoting the process of spiritual enlightenment, dai ko myo helps bring Reiki practitioners closer to God”.

Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen: The Distance Symbol

This miraculous symbol is used to send reiki across time and space. 

The meaning of hon sha ze sho nen is “having no present, past, or future,”. This symbol increases the power of the healing energy manifolds to promote distance reiki healing.

Much before the advent of telephone television or work from home, the Reiki healers provided distant Reiki healing.

Distant Reiki intentionally can be delivered to a person from great distances. 

Those distances can be across the continents, even in the absence of video or audio calls! 

Distant Reiki is taught at the Reiki II level and is optimally administered by Reiki Masters.

Raku: Symbol for grounding and completion

 Reiki symbol used at the master level, and also known as the “fire serpent”—because it is shaped like a zig-zag or lightning-bolt that’s used primarily for grounding after Reiki.

As you can see from **my story, I had a feeling of extreme weakness in my core because I was unaware of the process of grounding required after sending my energy, to my father in this case. It is a kind of cord-cutting or disconnecting from your receiver. Without this process a healer’s energy can keep depleting! And in few cases, may contract some of the symptoms of the receiver!

What Are 5 Reiki Principles

The five principles of Reiki are as follows:

1. Just for today, I will not worry.

2. Just for today, I will not have anger.

3. Just for today, I will work with integrity.

4. Just for today, I will be grateful.

5. Just for today, I will be kind to all living things.

The reiki principles, also known as the precepts, start with the phrase “just for today…” Each day we can start fresh. Reiki masters realized the demands on humans and how challenging it can be to be aligned with virtuous habits!

Before receiving or giving the reiki healing, it is necessary to cultivate these principles. That said, a person interested in the teachings of reiki healing or looking forward to having a higher level of connectivity with others, must practice self-reflection, self-study, meditation, living with clear intention and receiving clear perspective.

How Does Reiki Healing Looks Like

While giving a reiki healing session the healer gently places his or her hands above your body, first to check and scan the quality and flow of energy then balance the same with the help of his/ her tuning energy channelizing abilities.

She will gradually move her hands across your body, pausing shortly through each chakra from the Crown of the head to the Root of the spine in the perineum. The hand’s position can also correlate with the body’s meridians and minor energy centers.

However, reiki energy is considered to be intelligent enough so it reaches where it is required most, irrespective of the hand position. 

Moreover, “It is the intention of the healer and also reiki healing receiver which decides the kind of healing received”.

Reiki Hands Position

 Reiki Masters ensure the placement of their hands on specific parts of the body (also called auxiliary positions) which results in some therapeutic benefit. There can be 13 to 18 hand positions. 

Out of which, 7 for each Chakra starting from the crown going down to Ajna, Throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral, and the root chakra. Other positions also find a place on either left or right side of these Chakras.

Specific conditions  Reiki healing Works Upon

Whether it’s pain, stress, life situation, chronic illness, or looking for general wellness, Reiki is always there to help you.

Main issues where Reiki healing is used nowadays

Reiki as a chronic pain reliever

Reiki may help decrease pain perception by healing the emotional aspect of pain. 

Reiki works excellently to resolve emotional distress by allowing healing energy to flow freely throughout the body,  resulting in relaxation and reduced pain and tension throughout the body.

Reiki In Inflammation

With or without light touch, a healer accesses universal energy sources that can strengthen the body’s ability to heal itself, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain and stress.

Reiki In Lifestyle Created Health Conditions

Our modern lifestyle is the main cause of most diseases. Diabetes, Hypertension, Back Pain, Cervical Spondylitis, Constipation, and Depression are a few of the plethora of illnesses. Reiki healing works therapeutically towards curing these health conditions.

How long does a Reiki healing session last?

A typical reiki session lasts between 20 and 90 minutes, depending upon the requirement and the healer.

How do you feel at the time and after Reiki?

It could be cool, hot, or tingling!

As a Reiki healer, I personally love to take responses from my clients. whether in-person or a distance reiki healing process, most of the people feel sensations in there palms and soles of the feel. More intense feelings are experienced surrounding the related Chakra where the person is having issues and availing the healing for.

According to anecdotal reports, most people feel relaxed after a reiki session. Others may feel unusually tired. This indicates your body is receiving and healing!

Allegedly, tiredness might be accompanied by other side effects, like headaches, stomach aches, and weakness in very rare cases.

Disclosure: Reiki does not treat specific conditions and it is not an alternative to medical treatment. It doesn’t treat any diseases or disorders. Instead, it aims to promote overall wellness.

If you have a disease or disorder, it’s still important to get appropriate medical treatment while still taking the benefits of Reiki.

Important Techniques: Yoga To Strengthen Your Upper Body

Use your breath to guide you through the movements. Try holding each pose for five slow breaths in the beginning. 

With more practice you would be able to increase the  time you can hold each posture because of the increased strength and better endurance. Gradually, you will sense a sense of ease in each posture, at that point try to submerge at a much deeper level.

Health Benefits Of Stretching Your Upper Body

Strong upper body has a direct connection with strength and stamina. With that in hand you have better body posture and ability to lift and carry heavy things.

Same also does wonders in enhancing  navigation within your life effortlessly. That means living your day to day life, or doing household chores, office related work without any stress, and increased efficiency. That is why it’s crucial to include upper body strengthening in your fitness regime.

What Is  Included In Your Upper Body Area

Your arms, forearms, shoulders, chest and hands, mainly constitute of your upper body

Muscles in these areas create a bridge from the chest, limbs and torso to your spinal column.

Therefore investing time in making these areas strong and flexible helps in maintaining balance while walking, an ease in day by day tasks, along with age related body de-generations. Upper body yoga also ensures a healthy back because of the better blood circulation and stronger bones.

Upper body area includes muscles like:

• The rotator cuff
• Deltoids or shoulder muscles
• Biceps and triceps
• Pectoralis or chest muscles, And
•  In this particular sequence, the cervical column and your neck is also included.

Strengthening And Stretching Your Upper Body: The Best Practices

Flexibility and strength both are important for your upper body and offer different benefits.  In a yoga sequence, your core, biceps, triceps, back, shoulders and chest are well engaged to give you better stability. The stronger you become, even the most challenging yoga postures may feel in reach.

Why is Upper Body  Stretching Frequently Required 

Apart from helping in everyday tasks, a upper body centred yoga sequence would help you in maintaining a good digestive system. Without strengthening these areas, your lower back muscles often have to compensate for the arms and shoulders, which can result in strain, unexplained pain or an  injury because of the overuse.

How Does Yoga Works To Strengthen Your Upper Body

Yoga is a great workout. It builds flexibility, improves balance, and yes, it builds strength. There are plenty of poses that develop upper body strength. A very well-known and simple asana like adhomukh svanasana can help you feel

How Will This Sequence Work On Sagging Breasts

Just like your skin, muscles, and bones, the breasts also age naturally. Since they are not supported by any hard structure like bone, when there is lack of blood circulation and shrinking of cells and tissues, breasts lose volume resulting in sagging and losing their charm.

But sometimes due to stress, an illness or a sudden weight loss, the breasts go out of shape. This might affect your self esteem and body posture if not anything else. Find here how to improve your body posture.

Yoga postures like bridge pose, child’s pose, camel pose stretch the upper-front area of our body providing a natural massage and boost in blood circulation. Yoga Asanas which involve stretching of arms and opening of heart, also stretch the chest area. 

Such postures fill your lungs with plenty of fresh air providing you with healthy lungs as an added advantage. Here you can open your heart and increase the potion of love and compassion in your life.

Can You Tone Your Arms With Yoga Postures For Upper Body

Yoga is an incredible way to build upper body strength and tone and sculpt all the muscles in the arms WITHOUT bulking up. When done consistently and under the proper guidance it may not take more than 6 to 8 weeks to reach the desirable results. With appropriate diet and nutritions and lesser fat deposits in your arm and shoulder area, you can quickly get rid of your flabby arms.

How Often Should You Do This Sequence To Tone your Arms And Chest

For best results, try to practice Yoga at least three times a week. Practicing more than five times a week may not bring any additional benefits but if you want to have a daily Yoga practice, make sure you choose a gentle one at least once a week.

The Best Yoga To Strengthen Your Upper Body, Tone Your Arms and Breasts

I have created a complete and step by step yoga sequence for your upper body that will work on your upper back, shoulders, neck, arms and breasts. Watch the video above and read further for the benefits of the asanas involved in this sequence.

With a little variation in the traditional yoga postures, you can make them a better-fit for your body. So you can see the yoga postures with variations such as- one legged dog pose or side bridge pose; including many transitional postures such as downward facing to cat and cow pose, crocodile pose to bhujangasana and crocodile to locust pose and so on. You will have a better understanding of everything once you watch the video. 

Here is the breakup of some important yoga postures included in the video.

Vajrasana 

Vajrasana is one of the best seated posture in which your hips are on your heels while knees are folded beneath the thighs. Starting your yoga practice with this asana and combining it with deep breathing helps to ground you into the moment and on your mat at the same time.

Benefits Of vajrasana

Not only does vajrasana fire the body’s metabolism, but it also helps lose weight in the belly area. This asana  requires a strong core to remain upright, and this in turn firms up the muscles in that region. Here you can know everything about the vajrasana.

Downward Facing Dog Pose

An incredible stretch for the backside of your body, the Downward Dog pose also relies on great strength from the arms and legs. This asana works fabulous especially on the flabby arms.

 Almost every yoga pose where you are lifting or keeping your body off the floor, strengthens and shapes your arms, shoulders and back for a lean, strong and sculpted look. Here you can find everything about the download facing dog pose.

cat and cow pose

The cat and cow pose keeps your entire core engaged along with the arms and shoulders, also giving your chest a nice long stretch. Your upper front muscles are involved in this transitional pose so it works great on massaging the breasts and surrounding muscles providing plenty of blood circulation. You can learn here how cat and cow posture helps to keep your spine healthy.

 Chaturanga Dandasana

 The Chaturanga dandasana  is similar to the push ups, engaging your arms, shoulders and entire chest area. It can improve your triceps strength as no other work out else can.

It aligns your whole body and builds strength in your erector spinae, the muscles on either side of your spine. This helps improve core strength, posture, and stability. Mastering Chaturanga can also help you build functional strength.

Bridge Pose

Bridge pose stretches your entire core, especially the muscles on the upper body. Here, I have included a variation of bridge pose called one legged bridge pose or side bridge.

This variation works on your shoulder strength from a different angle. This makes your arms and shoulders work on their own individual strength. 

 Locust Pose

Locust pose is one of the best back-bending poses. It will prepare you for deeper backbends such as camel pose in your yoga practice. It requires back and abdominal strength and helps open your chest and shoulders.

 You can also include camel pose to strengthen your upper body, uplift your breasts, and engage your arms, if you are on the advanced level of your practice. Here is the complete tutorial of the camel pose.

Crocodile Pose

Crocodile Pose is highly calming and relaxing posture works on reducing stress and anxiety, promotes good sleep, regulates blood pressure and rejuvenates after a challenging yoga sequence. 

It provides deep relaxation for the muscles in the back and supports better posture and alignment of the spine.

If you hunch over due to poor posture or spinal issues, Crocodile Pose may help the body by relaxing the spine and reducing tension accumulated in that area. 

You can rest in a crocodile pose or Savasana. Here you can learn about the Savasana.

Wrapping Up- Yoga To Strengthen Upper Body

Although yoga is popular for its mental health benefits, like stress relief, and its ability to improve flexibility and posture. Yet, if you remain regular with yoga practices, you will realise that many poses require  strength in different areas of the body. This is the reason why a regular yoga practice helps to bring strength to the parts of the body wherever you intended to.

You can consider a yoga class equivalent to “body weight training”. In contrast to weight lifting which utilises external weights, the body weight training uses the weight of your own body.

 In bodyweight training, that is yoga, you are simply resisting the gravitational force on your body, and this is what offers you great results.

Bodyweight training is also termed as closed-chain in which you move your body through specific movements opposed to lifting or moving a weight (an open-chain exercise). Studies indicate that closed-chain workouts build more strength.

The post Yoga To Strengthen Upper Body| Tone Flabby Arms And Prevent Breasts Sagging appeared first on yogarsutra.

Imagine a ‘beautiful-precious’ gift packed inside multiple layers of boxes! The most precious item is always placed inside the safest and the innermost layer. And so is the most precious component of human beings placed by the almighty creator. To access your “highest self”, you need to peel your body-layers- all one by one. This would never have been possible if yoga wasn’t there to show the path to peel your body sheaths and access your five Koshas. This is a complete guide on your 5 koshas with a video about Yoga To Nurture Your Annamaya And Pranamaya Koshas

The subtle Yoga anatomy explains koshas as sheaths or veils of illusion that prevent us from seeing our deeper/highest selves.

As we peel away each layer, we come closer and closer to the innermost most precious layer, a.k.a. Kosha, realisation happens.

What are Pancha Koshas

In Sanskrit Pancha mean five and Koshas means layers or Sheaths

 The concept of pancha koshas was introduced by Saint Taittiriya, who has written the Taittiriya upanishad, a part of the Taittriya Samhita.

The sage said that we don’t have to go far there in search of the atma because it’s a part of our being. It is always here but we can’t realise it because of the sheaths of illusion.

“Yoga is a medium of accomplishing the union; union of body with the mind; Man with the Atman; gross with the subtle”!

Start To Access Your Five Koshas

Annamaya Koshas

The word Anna means food

Therefore this outermost layer is also known as the food body, gross body, or physical body. This layer is the house of our soul- the energy which is immortal, and encompasses the entire physical anatomy such as the bones, muscles, blood and other fluids etc

The Annamaya kosha is perishable, hence follows the rules of this world which are birth, growth , decay and death.

Our physical activities (including yoga postures), food and drink majorly define this Kosha.

To sum up, the Annamaya kosha is:

• Made of food
• Composed of the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
• Here’s the video>>

yoga to nurture your annamaya and Pranamaya Koshas

Pranamaya Kosha

As we move on from our outermost physical layer towards the internal subsequent layers, they become entirely “non-physical” and “in-visible”.

So our second kosha the Pranamaya kosha is the first non-palpable layer, referred as the subtle body, energy body or the breath body

Prana, the life force flows through us so this layer includes subtle anatomy of the Prana. Our breath forms a bridge between the physical and energy body so this Kosha lies between the two.

Our energy centres and channels  called “Chakras and Nadis” belong to  this layer.

Yogic practices like Pranayama directly affect your second layer, the pranamaya Kosha. Also the practices of Chakra Balancing and Energy Healing are related with this sheath. How we connect and align with our subtle anatomy can also impact this Kosha.

Curious about balancing your energy centres? Read this how yoga and meditation balance your chakras.

Although, the breathing process and circulation of Prana is a vital tool for our survival. Yet, the same might hinder our path of transcendence and delay the process of removing the veils of illusion. 

So here is the point: both the body and Prana are just a medium for our transcendence not the end point of our journey.

Peel away this veil of illusion with Pranayama: Learn the esoteric introduction to Pranayama by my teacher Mr Paul Carlos.

This sheath is further composed of the five pranas (prana, udana, vyana, samana, and apana) as well as the five organs of action. These karmendriyas are the mouth, hands, feet, rectum and genitals.

 Learn more about the five kinds of prana and revitalise your Prana with the Prana mudra that cures 100 diseases.

To sum up the pranamaya Kosha is:

• Made of prana or vital life force
• Physical body is able to live and act because of prana.

Monomaya Kosha

Man is the Sanskrit and Hindi synonym for our mind and mental characteristics

The third layer Manomaya Kosha is the “mental body layer”, which comprises our thoughts, emotions, and patterns including our five senses.

This highly subtle layer has to do everything with our experiences of this world around us. Various feelings of pleasure, pain, resentments find  circulation through this body layer. This place is also the origin point of our thoughts, emotions , logic , perception and ego.

Taking care of this kosha is very important because it directly affects our first two Koshas: the Annamaya kosha as well as the pranamaya Kosha. 

Because an unstable mind and uncontrolled thought pattern is directly responsible for the stress and anxiety which further leads to many physical diseases. Since the Manomaya kosha is highly affected by our experiences and memories, which could be traumatic, enjoyable, or anywhere in between.

While staying connected with our mental body is imperative in order to be conductive in this world, we can still practice our sense withdrawal, though for a very small time with the practices like pratyahara. 

You can learn here how to pratyahara, the 5th limb of yoga and gradually start to peel away this third peel of illusion to transcendant into a state of pure meditation.

If you haven’t started your daily meditation here is everything to start your meditation practice.

To survive well in this world, it may not be feasible and logical to completely disconnect from our mental body, however we can check off this one more layer as a veil between you and your true self a. k. a. atman.

To sum up, the Manomaya kosha:

• Contains your mind/emotions/thoughts
• Thoughts and emotions move the prana

VijnanAmaya Kosha

Our ability to understand, reason, analyse and judge resides in the 4th kosha, known as vijnanmaya Kosha- the “wisdom body”.

This layer governs our intellect and discerning mind and is the superior part of the mind above the noise of sensory feedback.

Deep meditation and mantra chanting helps us to peel away this kosha and recognise it as a pure veil of illusion. Study of scriptures on a deeper level may help to navigate this path more profoundly.

Penetrate your vijnanamaya kosha with these 25 powerful mantras to awaken your crown Chakra or explore your wisdom body with these wisdom boosting Saraswati mantras.

At this stage, we can deploy our reasoning mind to recognise that we are not what we think, instead, to observe “what we think”.

To sum, up the Vijnanmaya kosha:

• Contains intellect and discrimination
• This is the power to know and discern

AnandAmaya Kosha

Anand means the bliss

The fifth and last layer, anandamaya kosha is the bliss body. This innermost layer of  illusion represents pure joy! Yogis describe it as an introduction with the Divine. In this deepest layer we experience our connection with the divine eternal soul and our own divinity.

This layer is the closest with intangible and immortal body. To access this kosha, deepest and dedicated spiritual practices on much higher levels are required

As we come closer to our bliss body by peeling away the outermost layers, we start realising our true potential.

This sheath might give a sense of connectedness to the divine, yet, one still endures the cycles of rebirth until this sheath is transcended. Otherwise the “wheel of karmas” are said to carry on rotating the cycle of “birth and death”.

That transcendence is samadhi, or self-realization. Well beyond all five sheaths, you are met with atma or self. That said, You are almost connected to this sheath through the fifth kosha, yet it is beyond all five koshas.

Samadhi or enlightenment is the final limb of patanjali’s eightfold path which helps to tap into the bliss body and even further penetrate all the veils of Illusions to access our highest selves.

Further, to let this layer completely vanish, realizing that we are not the one who experience bliss but we are the bliss itself.

To sum up, the anandamaya kosha is:

• A thin veil of ignorance
• Subtle identification with separateness
• Here you experience your true blissful nature

Wrapping Up- Access Your  Five Koshas To Peel Your Body’s Sheaths Of Illusion

Acknowledging the koshas is important to be familiar with your inner world and to develop a connection among your body, mind and spirit. This realisation may help to awaken a profound sense of awareness towards the path of transcendence.

The post How To Access Your Five Koshas| Yogic Ways To Peel Your Body’s Sheaths Of Illusions appeared first on yogarsutra.

In this post you will come to know about the Yoga Hast Mudras to boost metabolism and weight loss, and learn to honour the five subtle elements, and connect to the healing power of earth, water, fire, air, and ether in your yoga practice.

I will also talk briefly about the significance, meaning and science of yoga hand gestures.

Yoga is a science of living but most of us know yoga synonymous to body postures and breathing techniques!

But as we unfold we learn about the Koshas, the doshas, the Bandhas, the Kriyas to name a few. Mudras or gestures are a vital part of ancient yoga.

Hast Mudras And Our Lives

The greatest secrets in Yoga, Hast mudras can take your yoga practice and overall health to a new level! By arranging the geometry of your fingers and touching the fingertips in a certain way, you can very easily accomplish a Hast Mudra or Hand Gesture or… the Energy Seales.

You might have noticed the unique geometry of hands and fingers in Indian dance forms such as Kathak and Bharatanatyam, and many idols in temples and holy spaces. These Mudras also have their significance in meditation practices of Buddhist and Hindus.

In Yoga traditions, hand mudras are performed in conjunction with asanas and Pranayamas to enable streamlined flow of energy into the body for a profound spiritual awakening.

Hand gestures are related to different body parts and mind and…

Hand Mudras Help to Establish The Pranic Balance

Regular practice of these hand mudras can help to prevent many physical and psychological ailments such as depression, diabetes, hypertension and heart diseases to name a few and can be proven methods to live an illness free life.

Science Of Hast Mudras

The hand and finger geometry is directly linked with our nervous system and stimulates specific pathways known as Nadis. 

Mudras are said to increase energy and blood circulation to different parts of the brain, important nerve junctions and glands.

Ancient Yogis figured out the hand areas and associated reflexes related to the different areas of our body and brain. The areas of hands and fingers also affect our emotions and behaviour.

That said, by curling, folding, stretching, and touching the fingers… we can effectively communicate with our own body and mind.

Panchmahabhutas, Hast Mudras, And Our Body Relations

With the emergence of the universe, the five great elements- PANCHAMAHABHUTAS are also said to have originated.

They are the building blocks of the universe as well as our bodies. Everything is made up of the different combinations of these five elements.

These elements are associated with the senses and also with particular body parts and functions. Each has an energy corresponding to the each Body Chakras. 

According to the Ayurveda, each of us is born with a unique combination of the five elements with some variations in the dominance of each.

 As the outside world’s environment varies,  the elements within our bodies also alter.

That is why it becomes crucial to recognise your body doshas and what might be shifting you out of balance.

Our five fingers and the five elements

Each finger in our hands represents one element:

Thumbs- the Fire element

Index fingers- the Air element

Middle fingers- Space or ether

Ring fingers- Earth element

Little finger- Water element

Metabolism: Converting food into energy

What you eat and drink is converted to energy and consumed by the body in the process of metabolism.

Calories in food are combined with oxygen to release the energy your body needs to function properly.

Your body needs energy for all its involuntary functions like breathing, digestion, heart beating, eye reflexes, and others. The number of calories the body uses to accomplish these basic body functions are known as the basal metabolic rate.

These factors determine your individual basal metabolism, including:

• Body size and composition. 

 Larger people or people with more muscle burn more calories, even at rest.

• Your sex.

   

Men usually have less body fat and more muscle than  women of the same age and weight, that makes men burn more calories than women!

• Your age.

 As you get older, the  muscle density tends to decrease and fat accounts for more of the body weight, slowing down calorie burning.

However, the energy needs for your body’s basic functions stay fairly consistent with few alterations.

According to Ayurveda, weight gain is considered to be a kapha dosha.  Which can be corrected by balancing the body fire element because the fire element is connected with hunger and appetite.

Best Mudras To Boost Metabolism And Weight Loss

Two best mudras for weight loss are agni Mudra and apana mudra.

Agni Mudra

This is an effective yoga mudra for weight loss. It also helps to reduce excess body fat and lowers our laziness quotient.

How To Agni Mudra:

• Sit in a comfortable cross-legged position or in lotus mudra.

•  Bend your ring finger so that you can touch the base of the thumb.
•  Press it with the thumb on the second phalanx keeping the other fingers straight.
• Place both your wrists on your knees.

• This mudra should be performed with both hands and palms facing in an upward direction.

 Benefits Of Agni Mudra

• This mudra symbolises our inner fire which works great in preventing and curing many digestive disorders.
• Agni Mudra is also an excellent solution for strengthening weak eyesight and improving your vision.
• It helps in controlling the shivering in your hands, legs and feet because of the Perkinson by increasing the body temperature.

Apna Mudra

In the modern life style, our body becomes full of toxins which may have a negative effect on the body. Apana Mudra works great in eliminating these waste materials, including any negativity. 

The main purpose of this gesture is to work on the Apana Vayu, the downward flowing energy. 

To live healthy, this is very important to remove stools, gases, urine, sweat or even blood that’s unwanted by the body.

How To Apana Mudra

• The first step is the same as the Agni Mudra.
• Join tips of the thumb first with the tips of the middle and ring fingers keeping the other fingers straight.

This yoga mudra should also be accomplished with both hands.

Apana Mudra Benefits:

• Improves digestion and prevents bloating
• Treats reproduction-related problems
• Lowers the discomfort of menstrual cramps
• Reduces the risk of heart problems
• Has a detoxifying effect on the body
• According to research, Apana Mudra has a therapeutic role in treating type-2 diabetes by reducing the stress levels in the body.

Wrapping Up- Yoga Hasta Mudras To Boost Metabolism

Mudras are the actions of your hands and can be performed anywhere. But being a part of the yogic culture, they should be performed holistically! So morning is the best time to perform these mudras, preferably with an empty stomach.

“Hold each mudra for 45 minutes and accompany it with deep breathing to experience the complete benefits from your practice”.

I hope you liked these yoga mudras to boost metabolism and weight loss. What is your experience? Please write in your comments:-)

The post Yoga Hast Mudras To Boost Metabolism And Weight Loss| Gestures For Fire Element And Detoxification appeared first on yogarsutra.

The ancient Yogis discovered it-
THE SOURCE OF THE ‘FOUNTAIN OF ETERNAL YOUTHFULNESS’! As an average human being we often dream of it! According to the yogic science, Bindu Chakra has this unique property to provide you with an endless stream of youthfulness so that you can live an illness free life! So, Why is it very crucial to activate Bindu Chakra ?
Because,
“The Sun is in the navel and the moon in the head. The nectar that comes from the moon is consumed by the sun, and the life force is gradually used up in this way. (Gheranda Samhitā, Verses 28-30)

Here the moon stands for the Bindu Chakra and the Sun for the Manipūra Chakra. Because the nectar from the Bindu Chakra is constantly being destroyed in the “Manipūra Chakra, with fire-element”, our body becomes vulnerable to various illnesses and deteriorates with time.

Also, In the “Bhagavad Gita” Lord Krishna says:

“When I come onto the earth, I preserve all beings through my life-giving power. When I become the nectar-giving moon, I nourish the vegetation.”

So What Is Bindu Chakra

Bindu means a point or a drop, Chakras stand for the body energy centres.
Bindu Chakra is located in the middle of the Sahasrara and Ajna Chakra. Ajna Chakra is very small and Bindu Chakra is even smaller than the Ajna Chakra– “the Third Eye Chakra”.
In spite of being very tiny and dormant usually, its influence is unimaginable when it’s activated through various yoga kriyas and postures…
When this energy centre is inactive, it is just a dot. But once awakened its energy begins to flow or to “drip”.
This is when the Bindu Chakra produces truly astonishing effects by improving your physical, psychic and spiritual health.

Symbol Of The Bindu Chakra

The symbol of the Bindu Chakra is the MOON; therefore it is also known as Chandra Chakra (Moon Centre).

In deep meditation, the Bindu Chakra appears to have a circular opening with a lid almost completely covering it, and from this some light shines forth through a small gap.
This sparkling light is the projection of the radiance of the self in the Sahasrāra.
It is similar to the slender crescent of the new moon.
A fully awaken Bindu Chakra shines brightly with a silvery sheen, like the Full Moon.

The moon is also a symbol of perfection, nectar and energy. Nature receives life-sustaining Prāna from the moon allowing everything to grow and thrive, as moonlight is also essential for the growth of plants and the ripening of fruit – not only sunlight.

Physical Location Of Moon Chakra In Our Body

Most of us love the very aspect of balancing the seven major chakras while Bindu Chakra remains unnoticed. Perhaps working on this Chakra is seemingly complicated and its insignificant size.
Physically, the Bindu Chakra resides beneath the cowlick that is generally found at the back of our head. A *cowlick is a small section of hair that grows at a different angle than the rest of the hair on your head. Hair cowlicks are caused by genetics and are typically located at the crown of your head.

The direction of the stream of cosmic energy flowing into the Chakra can be seen quite clearly at this point.
Having two cowlicks indicates the existence of two energy centres. This is a sign of exceptional vitality and creativity, but it could also be a pointer of hyperactivity and extreme nervousness.

*The name cowlick comes from the swirled effect left in the hair of baby cattle after being licked by their mothers.
On the physical level this also means that with the awakening of the Bindu Chakra the Pineal Gland, which is connected to this centre, becomes active. This gland secretes a hormone that has a “fountain of youth” influence on both body and mind. This is why the Rishis gave it the name “Amrita”, nectar of immortality.
The more active the Bindu Chakra becomes, the more abundant this precious Amrita flows.

Most Astonishing Facts About The Bindu Chakra

The most wonderful aspect of the Bindu Chakra is the continuous drizzling of AMRITA, the nectar of immortality. According to the ancient scriptures- “just one concentrated drop is sufficient to make new shoots grow on a piece of dry wood, and bring a deceased back to life”.

According to the Sadguru, the world famous preacher, mystic, philanthropist (and more)..” the Bindu Chakra is a particular spot on the pineal gland surrounded by a certain secretion. If you touch the bindu, it will release secretions that make your body comfortable and make you feel ecstatic. To activate the bindu, there is a certain point at the back of your head.
Many cultures around the world have recognized this, and there is an understanding that that point needs to be protected and activated,”.

In Hinduism, when men shave off their hair owing to a spiritual journey, they spare some hair at this point in the form of a tuft.
In other parts of the world and cultures, people involved in a spiritual activity such as worshipping or going to a Temples, Churches or Mosques, cover their head using a scarf or a small cap.

Sanjivani Vati- Ayurvedic Name For Nectar Of Immortality

In Āyurveda this life-giving nectar is also known as Sanjīvani Vati ( a medicine that infuses life). There are Yogis who have power to overcome the bodily needs called hunger and thirst. They are said to be nourished by the nectar from the Bindu Chakra.

The Bindu Chakra is not mentioned in most of the yoga books, but in Tantra Yoga ( a form of yoga practice that’s aligned with tantra, an ancient spiritual practice), great importance is given to the healing and rejuvenating effects of the Chandra Chakra.

Psychological Benefits Of The Bindu Chakra

” By Bringing a balance in your Bindu Chakra, Mental chatter is entirely silenced so you can experience a sense of complete well being”.

It is very common to fill our hearts with sadness and oppressive feelings. But meditating on this Chakra can remove these emotions as well as depression, nervousness and anxiety.
A gentle fingernail pressure upon the Bindu Chakra stimulates the feeling of instantaneous happiness.
Even a crying child can be consoled by a gentle massage on the Bindu Chakra. That said, the Bindu Chakra has the power to treat you Psychologically!

Hence if we were able to utilise this life potion for our body, we would live longer with perfect health!

Buttt…as you have learnt that “The Precious Nectar Burns Into The Fiery Manipura”

However,
With certain Yogic practises we can be successful in catching the drops of nectar in the Vishuddhi Chakra a.k.a. Throat Chakra– for nourishing the body.
The Vishuddhi Chakra is responsible for the purification and detoxification when an imbalance occurs in the body due to toxic substances.

Immortal Soul Vs Mortal Body

We know that this body is perishable; this is the truth; then why there’s a constant longing for youthfulness and longevity?

The fact that Ātmā is immortal, but lives inside a mortal and fragile body. But people longing for moksha, a.k.a., liberation for the spiritual realisation, always emphasized to keep the body healthy and complete their spiritual journey within the current lifespan!

The only way to attain the moksha while living in our own body, is to keep it glittery and healthy. And this is why the Rishis discovered methods by which this valuable nectar could be gathered within the body and its benefits utilised.
They found that they could control the flow of nectar with the help of the Vishuddha Chakra and the tongue. The tongue houses subtle energy centres, corresponding to a specific part of the body or organ.

Udāna Prāna, one of the five main Prānas (vital forces), works within the Vishuddhi Chakra and this Prāna Vayu activates the muscles which control the swallowing of food through the throat.. Udāna Prāna also directs energy to the head.
When the nectar is held firmly in the Vishuddhi Chakra and influenced by Udāna Prāna, its effect is set in motion.

How To Activate Bindu Chakra

To activate Bindu Chakra, you can effectively catch this precious nectar with the tongue with the following yoga mudra and postures:

Khechari Mudra

The well proven technique through which we can activate the Bindu Chakra is known as Khecharī Mudrā , which is described in the Hatha Yoga Pradipikā.
In khechari mudra the tongue is rolled back as far as possible until the tip of tongue reaches deeply into the Pharyngeal cavity.
This results in the dripping of the nectar down from the Bindu Chakra and is trapped in the throat Chakra.

But the problem is that rolling the tongue for that long and up to that point is not an easy task for a Yogi in process… like we.

• While the adept Yogis achieve this by carefully stretching the ligament beneath the tongue, gradually lengthening it through gentle pulling. In this way the tip of the tongue can finally reach the Uvula.
  However, you can follow these simple steps and experience the subtle benefits from the Khechari Mudra.
  Sit in a sukhasana or Padmasana
  Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale slowly from the mouth.
  Repeat this form of breathing until you feel relaxed and well centred.
  Now stretch your tongue out first then slowly start rolling back up to a point you are comfortable.
  Make sure your breath is not strained.
  Now close your mouth and continue with the breathing or accompany with the Ujjayi Breath.

Ujjayi Pranayama

The benefits of Khecharī Mudrā can be magnified by performing it together with Ujjāyī Prānāyāma and Jālandhara Bandha (Chin Lock).

Ujjāyī Prānāyāma is a breathing technique which emphasises the throat-breathing.
The throat is contracted slightly so that the air flowing through it produces a soft sound, similar to snoring while in deep sleep analogous to the sound of ocean waves.
Through the Jālandhara Bandha the flow of energy is briefly locked to constrict the Prāna in the Vishuddha.

Viparita Karani Mudra

• The name comes from the Sanskrit words -Viprita, “inverted” or “reversed”, and Karni, “a particular type of practice”.
  The Vipareeta Karani mudra, commonly referred to as the Leg Up The Wall yoga posture, is very effectively used in the process of balancing the Moon Chakra.
  This Posture is regarded as “The Energy Regeneration Pose” since the nectar flows towards the throat due to the inverted position and is therefore prevented from being burnt in the Manipūra Chakra.
  it’s sole purpose as a mudra is to reverse the downflow and loss of the life-giving substance (amrita) through the use of gravity.
  Follow these steps for the simplest form of the Viparita Karani Mudra.
  Lie on your back, in a supine position, in a comfortable place and in a relaxed way.
  Breathe mindfully.
  Slowly try to raise your legs until they are 90 degrees to the floor.
  You can use a wall to rest your legs upon.
  Gradually put your hands under the lower back, at the level of waist.

Mantras Of The Bindu Chakra

The moon is the symbol of Lord Shiva- The Adiyogi, and the Mantra to simulate the Bindu Chakra is,

1. AMRITAM – I am immortal.

2. OM TRYAMBAKAM YAJĀMAHE SUGHANDHIM PUSHTIVARDHANAM
URVĀRUKAMIVA BHANDANĀN MRITYOR MUKSHĪYA MĀMRITĀT

“OM my adored One, the three-eyed Lord Shiva , who is omnipresent
May He nurture us and bless us with health
May His blessings liberate us and lead to immortality”.

This Mantra is known as MAHĀ MRITYUN JAYA MANTRA – the glorious Mantra of victory over death.

Wrapping Up- How To Activate Bindu Chakra

Desire for ever-young looks isn’t a superficial human greed. On one hand, being young means leading an effortless healthy life. 

When you are young you have everything at place.

May it be the physical health or the mental,they together start decaying as the wrinkles on the skin begin to sprout, with each greying hair.

As we age, most of our hormonal glands slow down to produce less than required amount of hormones. Which are essentially required for the efficient functioning of each organ and organ system. 

Even if you dismiss all these privileges of being young once , you would never dream of housing a torn and weary body. Because with this body you can’t attain moksha (liberation) from the vicious cycle of death and birth. 

For any goal to achieve you need a strong body. 

With an open Bindu Chakra you can also witness an improved eyesight better awareness due to awakening of the pineal gland, inner harmony and emotional balance. 

This Chakra also balances hunger and thirst, promoting healthy eating habits. It may relieve anxiety and depression, and expands creativity and imagination.

The post How To Activate Bindu Chakra, The Fountain Of Eternal Youth| Enjoy The Nectar Of Immortality appeared first on yogarsutra.

 Restorative yoga for relaxed nervous system will help you to calm your mind and relax after an illness like Corona. Welcome to Day 4 of yoga and energy healing from the post corona recovery series. 

If you haven’t read the previous three posts of the series, I highly recommend you to do so. You can find all the links below👇

Part 1: Yoga And Energy Healing For Post Covid Recovery

Part 2: Yoga, Pranayama, And Reiki Healing For Post Covid Recovery

Part 3: Vinyasa Yoga Flow For Post Covid Recovery

We have already rejuvenated through several yoga kriyas and Pranayama or breathwork in previous series. 

However, today’s yoga flow is special because of its restorative and calming nature. 

What Benefits Restorative Yoga May Offer…

As the name suggests, this style of yoga “restores” the body to its parasympathetic nervous system function, which, in turn, helps the body to rest, heal, and restore balance. 

By allowing time for longer asanas and deeper breathing, restorative yoga is the best form of yoga to heal from all kinds of illnesses. 

Just surround yourself with several props such as bolsters, yoga blocks, pillows, cushions, blankets to name a few.

Best Restorative Yoga For A Relaxed  Nervous System

Now Unroll the yoga mat. Let’s start with the supported child’s Pose.

For “how to do and benefits” of each posture, please download my yoga posture library 👇

https://www.yogarsutra.com/yoga-posture-library

(PASSWORD- ASANALAYA)

Child’s Pose

Slip a bolster between your folded legs and lean forward on it for the supported child’s pose.

When your body feels completely supported, you can easily turn your attention  towards your breath.

 Like a wave, each breath will rise and fall on its own. You are free to rest your mind on the waves of your breath. 

Throughout each pose, let your attention move back and forth between the earth-like qualities of your body and the fluid-like qualities of your breath.

Child’s pose gently stretches your spine, thighs, hips, and ankles.

Along with conscious breathing, the child’s pose can calm your mind, reduce anxiety and fatigue and increase blood circulation to your head.

The light compression on your stomach in this pose improves digestion.

This posture also helps to release tension in your lower back muscles, chest, hamstrings, and shoulders.

Cobra Pose

Slip a bolster below the chest and feel a mini backbend in Cobra Pose.

A cobra pose like this Strengthens the spine, stretches the chest, lungs, shoulders, and abdomen.

Regular practice of Cobra Pose or Bhujangasana tones the buttocks,

Stimulates abdominal organs,

helps relieve stress and fatigue, and opens the heart and lungs.

Unfortunately, if the illness has stressed you quite long and you have passed through the unpleasant experience of staying in hospital, taking steroids and other medicines, your body and mind knows that you need to do something for yourself to promote the process of healing, to push the willpower and to overcome from the feelings of not feeling well!

Makarasana

Resting postures in Yoga have equal importance as does any intense yoga posture.

Crocodile Pose (Makarasana) is a beginner’s yoga pose that relaxes the entire body and helps relieve pain related to other yoga poses or some activities. By lying on your stomach with your chest and shoulders resting, you let go of tension in the lower back and open up your chest and shoulders simultaneously.

“Well-propped restorative poses can offer us the experience of being cradled and protected while providing the opportunity for deep relaxation and rejuvenation”. This also allows our parasympathetic nervous system to initiate the relaxation response—something that only happens when we feel supported..  

Matsyasana

Slip a bolster just under your bra-strap lean over in a chest opener yoga posture known as Matsyasana or fish pose.

“A traditional text states that Matsyasana is the 

Destroyer Of All Diseases

This posture,

• Stretches the deep hip flexors (psoas) and the muscles (intercostals) between the ribs.

• Stretches and stimulates the muscles of the belly and front of the neck.

• Stretches and stimulates the organs of the belly and throat.

Leg Up The Wall

Inverted yoga postures are always a great way to relax the mind and increase energy.

Raising your legs up against a wall or on a couch  in viparita karani yoga posture can help to relax your mind and improve hormonal function, relieve headache, migraines, and

• Alleviate low back tightness and discomfort.
• Relieve leg and feet cramps.
• Promote lymph flow and increase immunity.

“Props keep us integrated and held, creating a deeper sense of stability and safety, which enables us to diffuse the efforts we use to hold ourselves unshaken.

The post Restorative Yoga For Relaxed Nervous System| Yoga And Energy Healing From Post Corona Recovery, Part 4 appeared first on yogarsutra.

Healing Through Yoga, and Reiki: Part III involves 10 minutes of vinyasa yoga flow for post covid recovery ( or recovery of any kind of virus-borne illness).

What You Can Expect From This Vinyasa Yoga Flow And Reiki Healing For Post Illness Recovery

The first two parts of yoga for covid recovery were focused on breathing techniques, micro-movements, yoga kriyas, and Reiki Healing.

 In this part, we shall focus on 10 basic Yoga Postures and Pranayama. You may hold each posture for approximately 1 minute or so.

After the vinyasa and Pranayama, you will receive a free Reiki Healing Session from me with the symbol Sei Hei Ki for emotional and mental strength. So keep reading to feel the complete healing experience. Then you can watch the video on yoga vinyasa flow for post covid recovery.

My Experience With A Virus Borne Disease

There exist illnesses which have the very ability to leave you drenched physically and mentally! Corona is one of them.

Luckily, if you haven’t been cross-handed with this disease, there are few equivalences, though less deadly.

One such is chickenpox. Due to the availability of its vaccine and known to us since the 19th century, it causes a minimum fear when viewed vis-a-vis corona.

Why I am referring to this virus-borne disease is because it also leaves us in a similar state of post corona situations- drenched, distressed and tired.

With the difference that chickenpox doesn’t leave your internal organs half dead!

While writing the Yoga Vinyasa for post covid recovery, I have used my ‘that experience’ to create the yoga sequence for the same. 

What Does Your Body Say After An Illness Like Covid And Its Equivalent

As a 17 years old girl I never experienced any severe illness before contracting chickenpox. 

I was kept in a secluded room in my ‘own’ house, though the term Quarantine was majorly unknown to us.

Fever, aches, body rashes were irritating but these factors were somewhat less prominent than the anger of being separated from my loved ones.

After illness situations were even more traumatic. 

The usual power which helped me to navigate throughout my day wasn’t present with me anymore. Few more days of dullness passed like this. Chickenpox drastically changed my appearance and I was not happy in front of the mirror. 

• My body became entirely different from the body I had before falling ill. 
• There was a height of different symptoms of weaknesses.
• Difficult walking abilities… Altered vision… Diminished appetite…

I would have remained clueless if my father wouldn’t have intervened at that time. 

He handpicked some of the Yoga Postures, Pranayama, and healing methods for me.

With very little change in my waking up schedule and following the practices of this gift of our ancestors- called yoga, I recouped myself in a much speedy way. 

Only a few skin rashes were left to tell a tale, otherwise, I looked more radiant than ever.

Disclosure: Yoga is a holistic treatment for our mind, body, and soul. I don’t promote yoga as a substitute for medicines. In case of critical illnesses or ailments, please consult your doctor first before adopting this yoga sequence.

Vinyasa Yoga- An Important Step For Faster Post Covid Recovery

“In vinyasa yoga, the focus is on linking your breath with the movement while transitioning between the poses”.

Studies have shown that consistent practice of vinyasa yoga can lead to improved muscle tone and a better metabolic rate. 

It works great with keeping your joints healthy and losing weight if paired with a healthy, balanced diet.

A vinyasa yoga sequence also offers excellent endurance and strength training. 

Because the challenging poses are done in quick succession, Vinyasa yoga helps build muscle strength while improving your fitness.

Heart opener yoga postures like Bhujangasana or Cobra Pose offer numerous benefits to the lungs and the internal organs in the abdomen.

This helps to enhance your authenticity, communication, and skills of public speaking.

What To Expect From The Yoga And Pranayama For Post Covid Recovery

I haven’t included the traditional yoga postures at this stage because your body might not be ready yet for the physical Postures. 

But some kriyas and restorative postures are involved which will do wonders by increasing blood circulation and the circulation of vital prana in your body.

I have also included a free Distance Reiki Healing Session to help you feel rejuvenated and energetic.  

Reiki healing is now a scientifically proven method of energy healing. Many hospital modalities are complimenting Reiki healing sessions to their clients.

So all said, let’s work on healing inside Out. 

How Can Pranayama Help In Fighting Against Covid-19

Pranayama, the ancient yogic breathing technique can be extremely healing while recovering from Covid.

Regular mindfulness practices can prevent you from falling ill from any kind of virus or bacteria-generated disease.

Since the covid virus is known to cause severe damage to many internal organs, especially the lungs, including Pranayama in your daily practice can be highly beneficial and restorative.

Many corona-survivors assert that this controlled breeding technique has greatly helped them to recover from the covid very fast.

The reason breath-control works is that the raised oxygen level in your body helps to regulate the healing system. 

Not only this, the yoga and Pranayama practices are also very calming, hence are immensely regarded as stress busters and immunity boosters.

This practice gradually develops better breathing habits which lead to consciously more oxygen intake and increased breath-holding capacities.

 “Which are a foundation to strong ‘lungs and respiratory systems’ and ‘an accelerated healing’ from covid-19“.

Disclosure: Yoga is a holistic treatment for our mind, body, and soul. I don’t promote yoga as a substitute for medicines. In case of critical illnesses or ailments, please consult your doctor first before adopting this yoga sequence.

, Pranayama, And Reiki Healing For Post Covid Recovery

I have tried to give complete cues for each yoga posture and Kriyas. For more clarity you can watch the video below. 

Please visit my Yoga Postures Library for complete tutorials and benefits.  

P.S.- It is password protected, please enter the password ASANALAYA.

Now Unroll your yoga mat and let’s start with the micro stretches and most calming ujjayi, victorious Pranayama…

Ujjayi breath

• Place one hand on your stomach and another on the chest, so that you can feel the flow of prana within your body.
• Take a deep breath in and contract the back of your throat to exhale with an audible sound.
• This sound is just like the ocean waves or snoring, a van you are under the most relaxing sleep.

This yoga breathing helps to improve your concentration, release tension throughout the body. regulate heating and cooling of the body.

Ujjayi breathing can balance the entire endocrine system, thus benefiting people with thyroid conditions.

This is also one of the best Pranayama for covid patients.

Side Stretches

• Sit in a cross-legged comfortable position.
• Inhale, lift your left arm above the head.
• Exhale to fall on the right side of the body stretching the side body.
• Take a few breaths here.
• With an inhale, come to the neutral position, exhale completely.
• Repeat the process on the other side.

The side stretch exercise stretches and strengthens the intercostal muscles. These are the muscles between the ribs. They support the ribs.

 Neck Stretches

• Make a fist by bending your fingers and place them under your chin.
• Apply a very gentle upward force to push your neck slightly back.
• Then a counterforce to keep your neck stable.
• Push the sides of your head with your hand.
• Thus feel a balancing force and a sweet stretch in your neck and shoulder area.

You might spend a long amount of time on your bed due to illness. This may trigger neck pain.

These stretches are great if you have cervical pain and a tight cervical column or cervical spondylitis.

Neck stretches and rotations make the muscles in your neck stronger and more limber. Try these moves to soften a tense neck, banish pain, and gain flexibility.

 A strong neck can help also prevent problems with your shoulders, upper back, and arms, too. If you are suffering from a frozen shoulder after and prolonged illness you can read this post.

Leg joints exercises

• Sit with your legs extended and your hands behind you on the floor.
• Lift and hold your left leg with both hands.
• Flex your toes towards your face then point forward towards the ground.
• Stretch your knee joints and hamstring with the to and fro movement of the legs.
• Repeat with the other leg.

Strong ankles and shins help with balance, making you feel more stabilized as you do everyday things, such as stand, walk, run, or jump.

Cat and cow with Toe crunches

•  come to all four tabletop positions.
• Your palms are just below the shoulders and knees below the hips.
• Take a few rounds of cat and cow translation.
• Inhale, open your chest.
•  Exhale round your back.
• Please listen carefully. This time when you exhale, sit on your heels.
• Tuck your toes in, make sure your pinky toes are not stuck. If so please open them manually.
• Keep breathing here. 
• It may be very uncomfortable but once you get used to you would enjoy switching your toes.

The six lower body meridians all begin or end in the toes. This simple practice begins to awaken the flow right at the tips of the body. This activates different meridians in the body passing through your toes and ankles. This stretch strengthens your toes and lifts (“domes”) the arch of your feet.

Stretching increases blood flow to your toes, which can relieve pain and swelling. Toes that are relaxed and flexible are less likely to get injured.

Ankle stretches

This is a good counter-pose to toes crunches.

• Sit on your heels in Vajrasana.
• Place both the palms behind you.
• Gently, try lifting your knees off the ground.

When these stretches are practiced daily, the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the feet will become stronger and would help to provide optimum support for the entire foot.

All these micro stretches are a part of restorative yoga postures which are effectively helpful after an illness.

 crow arms Breathing

After stretching from all over the body, especially the legs and neck, it’s time for some more breathing practices- the best breathing techniques for covid patients.

• Inhale, open in the crow-arm pose.
• Exhale from your mouth, join the hands together.
• You can always spread your arms to gather the energy from the universe.
• And bring it down your physical plane.
• In the process of your arms’ up and down movements, you manifest from the Crown Chakra to  Root Chakra.
• Opening your heart Chakra simultaneously invites an abundance of energy flow in your body.

Deep Thoracic breathing

Thoracic breathing with hands movement helps in energizing the entire body with more intake of oxygen.

• Keep your fingers above the Shoulders.
• With deep inhale raise your hands.
• Open your mouth to exhale, bringing the hands in a neutral position on the Shoulders.

Sheetali Pranayama

Now when your body is fully energized and warm, give it some cool breeze with the help of Sheetali Pranayama or cooling breath.

• twist your tongue from both sides and sleep out of your lips.
• Use your twisted tongue to inhale and exhale (watch the video for more clarity)
• Feel the air entering from the tip of your tongue and going down to your respiratory system to your lungs.

During the healing process, you may feel the tickling sensations in your palms, legs on any other body parts due to the Reiki energy flowing through your body. This is also normal if you don’t feel anything at all. Most importantly you are not going to be harmed with this healing session.

• Sit down comfortably or Lie on your back.
• Take a deep breath in and breathe out slowly from your mouth. 
• Breath in and breathe out gently from your mouth and prepare yourself for the wonderful Reiki healing session.

The post Yoga, Pranayama, And Reiki Healing For Post Covid Recovery| Healing Through Yoga, Chakra Balancing, and Reiki: Part 2 appeared first on yogarsutra.

Yoga And Energy Healing for Post Covid Recovery will take you to a Healing journey through Yoga, Chakra Balancing, and Reiki Meditation.

 You will witness  the faster healing process due to the Yoga Kriyas, Micro-bends and Reiki Healing session included. Just be committed take out some time for yourself feel good and better! Because “John Wanamaker” has rightly said-

People Who Cannot Find Time For Recreation Are Obliged Sooner Or Later To Find Time For Illness

Feeling Drenched After Pandemic?

Illnesses, Corona or any other, affect our body and mind equally. They drain us from inside Out, creating deficiencies on physical and mental level both.

Fortunately medical science has made our life more sustainable. And most of the time we recover pretty fast from a moderate disease.

But this is not the case with this virus called covid-19.

In case of Corona and other similar illnesses, the body gets shaky and brain becomes foggy. The decision making abilities slow down and confidence gets shattered. 

How Yoga And Reiki Healing Help To Heal From Corona

You must be aware of the fact that mindfulness practices like yoga, Pranayama can help to heal faster from covid after effects.

But you have no idea where to start!!

Yoga is known to be an excellent tool to gradually build immunity, relax the body and mind, which ultimately helps in faster healing.

 It not only works on improving physical well-being, but also helps in stress management, mental exhaustion, depression, sadness to name a few.

Reiki healing, on the other hand, is linked to a range of physical and emotional health benefits, including better sleep, improved mood, and pain relief. 

Research suggests Reiki helps your body return to a state of relaxation, which allows it to heal from damage brought on by stress, injury, or a disease as scary as Covid.

There’s evidence that Reiki, used as a complementary therapy with other standard medical techniques, can help people recover after surgery and manage symptoms of cancer and AIDS.

So, I have come up with a series of yoga videos on this topic- Yoga And Energy Healing  For Post Covid or any other illness recovery.. 

Be Rest Assured About Yoga And Energy Healing For Post Covid Recovery

This four days yoga and Pranayama series is a step by step process to make your healing journey joyful and fruitful.

In this very first part of yoga and energy healing for post corona recovery, I have included most of the stretches and the micro-bends instead ( except the two yoga postures) of the traditional yoga postures. 

This is a great way to energize your body Meridians and Nadis which turn lifeless after a prolonged illness.

 At the end of each video, I have  included a short session of Distance Reiki Healing to help you heal energetically. You would instantly feel the prana energy flowing in your body. 

This will also balance your “7 Body Chakras”.

Just keep in mind that if your symptoms from the illness are still severe, wait for some days. You can still take advantage of the Reiki Healing.

So, open the windows, let the sunshine in, unroll your yoga mat…

Let’s breathe… Ujjayi…

Disclosure: Yoga is a holistic treatment for our mind, body, and soul. I don’t promote yoga as a substitute for medicines. In case of critical illnesses or ailments, please consult your doctor first before adopting this yoga sequence.

Yoga And Energy Healing For Post Covid Recovery

Ujjayi Breath

• Sit relaxed in a cross-legged position.
• You can place your hands on your chest and abdomen.
• Inhale to prepare and when you exhale contract your throat to make an ocean wave sounding voice….
• Ujjayi breath is known to calm your mind, to nourish your body with mindful deep breathing.

Pranayama anulom vilom 

• The next breathing technique is called anulom vilom Pranayama or alternate nostril breathing.

• Use your thumb to close your right nostril.
• Inhale deeply from your left nostril count up to 4.
• Close your left nostril with the help of your ring finger and little finger, hold your breath in for count 4.
• Release your thumb  very gently  from your right nostril exhale with a count of 8.
• Continue with alternate nostril breathing.
• Left nostril breathing activates and calms the right hemisphere of the brain.
• And right nostril breathing activates the left hemisphere of the brain.

Pursed lips breathing

• For next breathing practice, Inhale deeply from your nose.
• Round your lips as you do while whistling and exhale from your mouth.
• The pursed lips breathing activates your lungs and energizes your respiratory system.
• Making a sound is not as important as realizing that your breath is going out of your mouth.
•  you should feel it.

Inflated Mouth

Illness can bring undesirable dullness to the face taking away its natural glow.

• Inhale deeply and fill your mouth with plenty of air.
• Feel the sensations in both the ears and throat area.
• Round your lips and exhale  slowly from the mouth.

This Kriya works excellently on facial muscles and improves the quality of communication..

Hands, legs and neck stretches

Open your arms and grab the energy which is present in abundance in the universe.

Today we are just making a foundation and preparing our bodies for upcoming posture-based Sequences.

Fingers stretch with each inhale and exhale

• Stretch your fingers, for that you can use your other hand.
• With each Inhale, pull your fingers towards your face.
• Exhale, let the fingers Face Down.
• Repeat on both the hands.

Bicep curls with shoulder Rotations

• Either use weights if you were using them earlier or simply create a fist and curl your hands.
• Joint both elbows and make a clockwise shoulder rotation. 
• Breathe and relax.
• Switch the direction and repeat.
• Including some weights may be more beneficial for regaining the lost strength from an illness.
• But use them if you have done it earlier. I don’t recommend first time use of weights at this healing time

Child’s pose with blocks

After the above kriyas and stretches you have done a nice warm up to your body so get ready for two yogasanas: child’s pose and paschimottanasana  with support..

• For a child’s pose we are using a yoga block. You can also use a bolster.
• Bring both the heels together  and support your forehead on the yoga block.

Using a support and holding a posture longer works on the tissue level of the body and gives a deep relaxation and feeling of calmness.

Paschimottanasana with bolster

• Pick up a bolster and place them between your legs.
• Inhale deeply and bend forward while exhaling.
• Stay in this position for relaxation.

Reiki Healing

Before you start this practice, it is important know that I am an Advanced Chakra and Master Reiki Healer.  I am attuned for energy healing. During the healing process you may feel the tickling sensations in your palms, legs on any other body parts due to the Reiki energy flowing through your body. This is also normal if you don’t feel anything at all. Most importantly you are not going to be harmed with this healing session.

• Sit down comfortably or lye  on your back.
• Take a deep breath in and breathe out slowly from your mouth. 
• Breath in and breathe out gently from your mouth and prepare yourself for the wonderful reiki healing meditation.
• You can see that I am receiving divine energy in the form of white light onto my left palm.
• When I gaze at this light, my eyes too start emitting the same divine light.
• Looking to my right palm, light enters from my left palm to the right palm.
• Now my both hands are tingling with the abundance of energy.
• Rubbing both the palms together and then separating them I am creating a ball of healing loving energy for you.
• Helping to get over from your illness, weakness, mental sadness, or any other form of stress, anxiety and depression.
• Imagine the healing energy from my hand is going to your crown Chakra on the top of your head.
• You can feel warmth or some  kind of sensation in the Crown area, feel the connectivity with everyone in this world and the connectivity with the divine.
• Now bring attention to your third eye chakra between the two eyebrows.
• Staring at my hands, breathing deeply and feeling the healing energy entering your Ajna Chakra and helping you to visualise a healthy life ahead starting from this very moment. Feel this area and nervous system surrounding your eyes turning stronger and powerful! Now you can see better.
• Now bring your attention to your Throat Chakra at the base of your throat. 
• Imagine The divine white light entering from the base of your throat and energizing a blue ball of energy.
• This blue colour shining ball is helping you to regain your authenticity and communicate with confidence.
• Moving down to your green colour Heart Chakra, visualise the healing energy filling the heart cavity and increasing the blood and oxygen circulation in the entire body. 
• This energy is making you a more kind and compassionate human being.
• Bring your focus to your breath and let the healing energy fall to the area just above the navel into your solar plexus chakra.
• This area is now filled with the bright yellow colour increasing your confidence and your ability to shine in this world. 
• Now all your internal organs are rejuvenated due to powerful circulation of healing energy in your stomach area.
• Let one more deep breath carry the healing energy to your womb area,  just below the navel.
• This white light is making the orange colour Sacral Chakra brighter  than ever before, encouraging you to be most creative… productive… Your sense organs are working at their best capacity.  
• With another deep inhale, bring your focus to the base of your spine and allow this area to be filled up with the divine white light. 
• Visualise a very dense bright red colour ball whirling and filling  your Root Chakra in the base area. Giving you a feeling of security and connectedness with the earth. 
• Now you are fully rooted and grounded. Your limbs are receiving enormous amount of power from the earth and increasing your ability to walk, move, or even enjoy to run whenever you wish to.
• Now your body is healed completely from the Crown of the head to the bottom of your feet.
• Slightly wiggle your fingers and toes and gently move your body… Say thanks to the universal healing energy working in your favour.

Now just read this affirmation loud or within your mind:

My Illness is over… Now I am healed   from inside out…. With the help of divine power

P.S.- For the first time, I have come up with the Reiki Healing. This is the most effective energy healing method that works in all kinds of physical weaknesses, mental exhaustion, sadness, depression, boosting confidence, emotional healing and much more…
