Asanas Yoga and Meditation

All three parts must be practiced simultaneously, as one of the few people which is without the other two. Control of consciousness can not practice without the certain postures of the body and out of breath, and likewise should not think properly, or take any position without the participation of consciousness. Hatha Yoga prescribes exactly how all three parts must be connected together, if you want your development has been continuous and led to greater and greater results. For this reason, the exercises are grouped and each is in accordance with the main effect among these three factors. Our main goal - to send a consciousness equally to all parts of the body or, in other words, animating the body completely. This gives the key to managing lnymi positive and negative energies. Through the exercise we get acquainted with the power of consciousness. We even acquire the ability to generate currents of energy at will and send them anywhere in our body, the simple concentration of thought. Place our consciousness - gray matter - the brain. In this chapter, shall not be considered as internal cells differ from other nerve cells. This is dealt with by other books on medicine. 

For us this is essential that through the continuous influence of our "I" brain cells develop into an obedient tool, which they should be. "I" comes into brain cells, master them and turns into obedient tools. 

If an act of will, we send our minds to other nerve cells, the latter begin to develop and become carriers of the same mind, as well as highly developed brain cells. What so disturbs me to send his "I" in any part of the body at will, if this part contains the nerve cells with the same properties as the brain? 

Countless examples show us that if some of the nerves are destroyed by accident, their important functions take on other's nerves. Adaptability and flexibility shown by the nerves, which often borders on fantasy. Hatha yoga is only uses these soposobnosti nervous system. 

Through long practice of consciousness can be developed in each nerve cell to a high degree and make it a conductor currents of higher order. Naturally, this takes time. Anyone who has the gift of concentration, he can achieve those results. As soon as he focuses on the nerve cells of any part of the body, immediately visible corresponding yuschaya reaction. Naturally, this reaction is not so great that a group of nerves, which directed attention, could be used for mental processes. You are satisfied that as a result of referrals to this group of our current, they (nerves) are stimulated and feels a sense of warmth and blood circulation. If, however, we direct our consciousness every day - continuously for several years a group of nerves, the latter start to grow and become able to transmit the highest approval of "I". Thus, step by step we can revive any part of our body and make it conscious. Advanced yogis are able to request to speed up or slow down the digestive processes or activity of the heart. In the world literature we find numerous examples of fakirs, which allowed them to bury the whole week. Was a famous case in which the yogi from a purely scientific purposes comply dangerous experience under strict medical supervision at medfakultete in Madras. He swallowed a huge dose of cyanide (cyanide), and held the poison through the digestive tract without any assimilation of his body. The poison was removed from the body naturally. 

The awakening of consciousness, but an enormous responsibility for health, has another great advantage. This helps us ensure that consciousness exists independently of the mind. Consciousness is not the consciousness of the brain, as materialists, we are assured, but is a consequence of "I", which is independent of matter. Yoga exercises lead us to the experience of immortality, because we are acquainted with the owner of the body, higher self, which is a mortal shell. 

Most of humanity covered by the conscious or unconscious fear of death. How many healthy people are chronically paralyzed by the thought that lies deep in the mind: "What is the use of all this, if we know the end is destruction - death?". Yoga clears us of this fear. 

Those who require proof, I suggest an experiment. For example, if someone can not stand on his head, he can see how other, more powerful, it can perform. Mental exercises, however, occur within the mind (brain) and they can not see. "I" - is invisible, and there is no tool in the world, which would prove his existence. Only to exercise, we can feel the "I" of others. We get to know our own selves, when we develop the consciousness and do our conscious selves. Immortal higher "I" - is invisible to anyone, can be developed internally. Yogi sitting motionless during exercise on the development of higher-order consciousness. If we want to get acquainted with the result, we should try the same thing. Yoga can do a single thing to prove this truth: it shows you the way, for those who do not believe in the fantastic effect of the body, I recommend the following simple experiment. 

Stretch your right arm with a clenched fist and his index finger. Now direct attention to the index finger, ie Think with primary focus on the forefinger, with the feeling that you are entering into a point the finger. After a short time you will feel a strong tingling and warmth. Gradually, through the finger will pulsate heat and, if the concentration is strong enough, the heat will rise to the boiling point. Increase not only the flow of heat, but also the circulation of blood and little by little finger turns red. If using a continuous practice you will master control consciousness, you can use it immediately to their advantage. We can prevent a cold in the rain, windy weather concentrating on our feet. Positive energy and heat can be created in this way, and our legs will be prevented from the danger of freezing. Similarly, if the spin is frozen and if the back muscles consciously, we can concentrating on the muscles to develop sufficient energy and avoid pneumonia. 

With great satisfaction I have observed that European students are well aware of the benefit of mind control. In many cases, very simple methods they reach full cure colds, circulatory disorders, digestive apparatus, and even partial paralysis. Nerve, which was almost destroyed by the prolonged inflammation, was not able to conduct currents of life, and this part of the body became lifeless m paralyzed. Consciousness, however - the greatest awakens and enlivens force. If our ability to concentrate is strong enough consciousness stops the disease, the nerve restores efficiency and begins recovery. 

Anyone who understands the importance of controlled consciousness, understands the importance and benefits of conscious direction of the flow of prana in any part of the body at will. If someone suffers from poor performance of the colon, it focuses on the gut and feels as if he himself had this gut. This in itself is reason enough to direct the flow of blood and cause the intestine to the active movement. This effect increases when the personality is that he has guts and is on the move: everyone who tried at least once, he felt that his body immediately obey and adapts to the image. Those who have not succeeded in controlling consciousness at the first attempt should not be disappointed. Replication gives fruit, and this, in turn, will strengthen the power of desire to move on. There is nothing great pleasure than the victory of the "I" over matter, over the body. Along with the management of consciousness, pranayyama and various asanas are a great help in the awakening of the body. In control the mind control of breathing is very important. During inhalation, we must focus on the storage of prana within the body. When you exhale to think about the fact that we knowingly send a fresh batch in all parts of the body or to the part, which focuses attention in this exercise. Thus, when performing postures Viparita-Karani / posture bent candles / we focus on the thyroid gland. This means that we are sending our "I" in the thyroid in a continuous reflection (thinking) about it and at the same time with each exhale, we send a portion of prana in the thyroid, a kind of "pumping up" its prana. Likewise, we send the Prana to any desired part of the body with the firm intention to strengthen or cure it. Prana going wherever the mind is concentrated. Naturally, our body becomes stronger and will work more intensively in the place where we focus, as it induces a large flow of prana in this part of the body. A scientist holds a consciousness in the brain, a large number of prana going there, the brain develops and increases its effectiveness. Wrestler or boxer constantly focuses, ie Consciousness on the hand grip or power fist. 

Muscles develop due to the fact that there is going to Prana. 

The world of animals, this term is also applied, respectively, the degree of consciousness of animals. Hare frequently meets with dangers. He therefore listened attentively and navostryaet ears at every noise. As a result, attention is concentrated on the ears, a large flow of prana is going there and, as Prana is build up strength, his ears - hearing damage for millions of years have grown relatively long and become a truly great tool. In developing such rules all life: plants, animals, people. Prana necessarily work there, where she was sent to consciousness. Thus created an elephant's trunk, neck, giraffe, ostrich leg, countless variations of the animal world, as well as people became what they are. Humans, however, has not reached perfection. He still has a lot of opportunity in itself. Prana automatically follow the mind. How much we can achieve by exploiting this natural law, deliberately and systematically training the management of Prana. If we do not know the secrets and laws of our existence, there is always a risk to make mistakes because of ignorance and harm the body. You must therefore know the laws of control Prana and management of our consciousness in the body. Then you get the key to true health and long life. 

Anyone who makes a conscious act of breathing and following the passage of air into the lungs, gradually becoming more receptive and capable of learning. Little by little he will be able to feel perfectly current of prana. In other words, he

MEDICAL EFFECTS OF ANCIENT Ahsania 

Origin of yoga postures known as asanas, is lost in the misty ancient Indian legend. According to legend, Lord Shiva demonstrated their 64 thousand, as physical exercises necessary for the development of the human body, health and achieving the highest degree of knowledge itself. Of these 84 postures have survived, but their number is used to strengthen and preserve health, amounts to from 20 to 30. Discarding the legendary origin, we know that these asanas were invented, developed and perfected rishami and Maharishi - the great sages of ancient India and ancient yogis of higher order, who were masters and possessors of the most amazing physical and physiological advances. Postures came from the depths of centuries and took real form of mental and so-called "supernatural" science. Posa came through the centuries to form, in which they crystallized. The seventy or even fifty years ago, Western scientists puzzled shrug their shoulders in respect of these series of asanas, considering them as superstition. Today, however, in my experience, most Europeans who are interested in the importance of these postures, especially since, when the modern western medical science demonstrate the effect incubated them with experiments. In addition to postures, which are used primarily for meditation, pranayyamy mudra and postures / exercises to develop perseverance and concentration /, so-called physical postures (asanas) of outstanding benefit to the organism. There are no words are too bold to describe the outstanding supernatural effect of the physical postures on the human body and their role in prevention of vitality and maintain health. Only very recently the Indian Research Institute for Yoga, in cooperation with the competent European physicians were able to open the medical secrets of the ancient asanas. It is well known physiological fact that the health of the human body depends on the state of cells and tissues. 

In order to be healthy tissues need: 

1. In the regular diet within and proper functioning of the endocrine glands (the endocrine glands). 

2. In the rapid and thorough elimination of waste (toxins) from the body. 

3. In a healthy and normally functioning nervous system. Thus, it is clear that the digestive system and blood circulation system should be in good condition in order to supply the tissue protein, sugar, fat, salts and other important materials. Let me answer the question how the asanas affect the digestive organs and blood circulation system. 

Demonstrate the effect of asanas on the digestive system. Digestive: stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, etc. Also contains a cavity of the abdomen, which is supported from below the pelvis and the strong muscles. Nature has taken care to provide these bodies soft and regular massage by the motion of the diaphragm during breathing. This ensures their functioning. In every minute of ingestion do from forty to fifty automatic massage movements, which are invaluable for maintaining health. As we showed in the chapter on controlled breathing, civilized people can not breathe satisfactorily. This means that their breath does not produce enough massage the internal organs (digestive organs), which causes a disturbance of the organs of secretion of gastric juice. The result is a digestive disorder, and often more serious stomach ailment. Exercise in pranayyame itself is not enough for people with irregular breathing and relaxed muscles of the abdomen. Such people should use the asanas in order to fully restore the health of the abdominal cavity. Asanas not only give these bodies a local massage, but also give them the internal exercises; equal efficiency not found in any system of physical education. Is a recognized therapeutic effect of the fact that the muscle can maintain strength and elasticity, only if they are forced to move or resist movement.
