Improving the Concentration level

Functioning as the mind

Imprints and thoughts

Functions of the Brain

Imprints in the genetic center

The applications and implementations based on the


genetic centre is the archive of all aspects of the
personality. Unwanted mental and physical traits can be
sublimated by planned techniques and awareness.
This knowledge is essential to every human being for
health, happiness, prosperity and peaceful living.

Similar to centripetal force of the earth, every living being


has a central bio-magnetic intensity by the speedy
circulation of bio-magnetism. By the attractive force of the
centre, life-force (astral body)

The joint functions of these three: life-force (free energy


particles) and bio-magnetic wave constitute the genetic
centre. Bio-magnetic wave of the genetic centre
compresses and stores all the waves of ones deeds,
thoughts and experiences.

According to the mental frequency and other


circumstances the compressed waves are magnified by the
brain cells and precisely the same thoughts and deeds
emerge as memory. In addition to its miraculous functions
during ones lifetime, the genetic centre transfers all the
stored imprints to the progeny of several subsequent
generations.

The cell nucleus acts like The Brain of the cell.

The Basics of the cell is the structural and functional unit


of all known living organisms, and is sometimes called the
building block of life.
It helps control eating, movement, and reproduction. If
something happens in a cell, the nucleus certainly comes
to know about it.

Formation of nucleus D To Specific Gravity in a Single Cell

Formation of a Single Celled Organism:

As per specific gravity principle, a bio-cell is formed with a


denser middle region due to extreme compression and a
surrounding region which is generally loosely packed.

Such loosely packed molecules form the cytoplasm of a


single celled organism where as the inner region with
densely packed molecules becomes the nucleus.

Formation of Magnetic Wave Packet Due To Specific


Gravity Formation of Magnetic

Magnetism is developed in a single celled organism due to


the motion of life force particles in it. As per specific
gravity principle, the generated magnetic waves form a
wave packet at the vortex region.

This wave packet consists of all the magnetic waves


generated from the different molecules of that cell and so
it contains the properties of that single celled organism.
This wave packet is termed as Genetic Center.
Formation of Magnetic Imprints In a Single Celled
Organism

The magnetic wave packet formed in the vortex region


transfers its energy with the molecules in that region and
so the properties of all the magnetic waves are imprinted
in those molecules.

This imprinting process takes place through the five wave


functions Clash, Reflection, Refraction, Interaction,
Penetration. Such imprinted molecules are invented to be
the Genetic Code as DNA of that cell.

Location Aspects of Genetic center in a single Cell as DNA

The manifestation of specific gravity is very effective that a


separate part called nucleus is formed. The genetic code of
that cell is embedded within that nucleus.

Formation of Bio-Magnetic Filed in Multiple Celled


Organism As the evolution progressed, multiple celled
bodies were formed and in them, the generated magnetic
waves formed a magnetic field as well as a magnetic wave
packet in the middle.

Bio-Magnetic field of a human

In humans, life force particles spin inside atoms and move


in between clusters of atoms that a magnetic field is
formed. This magnetic field also comprises the waves that
emerge from the brain cells. The magnetic field formed is
called as Bio-Magnetism this is the energy repository of a
human body.

Wave Functions and Energy Transfer

Physics Background:

According to wave theory of Vethathiriyam, energy


transfer takes place in universal Magnetism as well as in
Bio-Magnetism based on five waves of functions. They are,

Clash

Reflection

Refraction

Interaction

Penetration

These five wave functions play a major role in the


formation of magnetic imprints. And now let us discuss
about the structure of the Genetic center
GENETIC CENTER

The great value of the genetic centre in its capacity to


enable man to evolve toward perfection of consciousness
is revealed.

Similar to the magnetically intensified point of centripetal


force in all planets, the bio-magnetically intensified point
situated exactly at the middle point of the physical body of
an organism is the genetic centre.

This is the concept of called genetic centre and the same in


a spiritual context is called Soul. Just as the
consciousness and force cannot be separated from the
Gravity, we cannot separate the genetic center and the
soul. Such a great, imperceptible diving principle is the
soul.

The wonderful nature of compressing everything to


infinitesimal volume is the extraordinary and unique
capability of the genetic centre. For example: envision the
seed of a plant. The whole tree is infinitesimally
compressed in the seed

With all its qualities and characteristics when it is own,


again the whole shape and volume of the tree is projected.
Similarly, the shape, volume, qualities and characteristics
of parents are compressed in the human genetic centre. All
are transferred to the progeny precisely through the bio-
magnetic wave without error, just like the process of
photocopying.

Plenum, Force and Consciousness are inherent in the


Static Silent State (Unified Force). The Unified Force
functions with three systems: evolution, mutation and
cause and effect. All these are collectively working in the
divine unit, the genetic centre.

From one sense living being (plant life), up to the present


existence of man, the physical and psychic activities of all
generations

Are compressed as magnetic wave in the genetic centre


thus the genetic centre should be conceptualized as a
natural compendium of personality development, linking
millions of past generations and also as an everlasting
treasure to be carried over millions of future generations.

By realizing the value of the genetic centre, one will


elevate his knowledge to the level of realizing three
subjective phenomena: God, life-force and mind. Several
doubts and questions about life before birth and after
death will be solved easily and satisfactorily if one comes
to know about his own genetic centre and its mysterious
greatness.

SPI RI T EN ERG Y AS B I O MAG N ETI SM I N LI F E FORC E :

Bio magnetism, circulating within the body of the living


things, produces a vortex, which is situated in the middle
of the physical body. The life energy particles, which
travel at lesser speeds than bio magnetism, also circulate
with the genetic center as their midpoint further, the
sexual vital fluid, from which the life energy particles
originate, is also situated here, The genetic center thus
forms the center for the circulation of the bio magnetism
and the life energy, besides, being a storehouse for the
sexual vital fluid, with all the three existing harmoniously
in it,

The food we eat undergoes transformations in to the


seven constituents of the body, with the life energy
particles arising from the vital fluid, the last of the seven.
The Earth rotates at an approximate speed of around
1000miles/hour on its axis, which causes the life energy
particles, the tiniest components of the physical body, to
be expelled from it. This results in depletion in the levels
of the bio magnetism, essential for the normal functions of
the body and mind. Reductions in the levels of the life
energy particles and bio magnetism gives rise to feelings
of the hunger, and the urgent need for food. Intake of food
restores the levels, and the body is able to functions
normally, once again. The vital fluid is referred to as the
sperm in a male, and the ova, in a female. The quantity and
quality of the life energy particles, and in turn the bio
magnetism, depend on the quantity and the quality of the
vital fluid in the body.

This may be compared to battery, where the strength of


the current depends on the levels and the quality of the
acid. Just as blood and air circulate with the heart and the
lungs as their respective centers, the life energy particles
circulate with the genetic center as their center. The life
energy particles after providing bio magnetism to the cells
in the body returns to the genetic center in a depleted
condition, where they immerse themselves in the vital
fluid, for rejuvenation. This is life energy circulation. The
imprints contained in the genetic center are replicated in
the life energy particles and the vital fluid. All actions of a
living thing during its lifetime produce imprints, which are
contained in the genetic center, and become the qualities
or personality of the thing.
IMPROVING THE GENETIC CENTER:

Chemical changes in the body affect the genetic center


also: the quality of the genetic center improves or
deteriorates on account of the following reasons

1. Heredity
2. Food
3. Thoughts
4. Actions
5. Transit of the planets
6. Accidents and unforeseen events

1. Heredity:

Every offspring is the result of a sexual union


between the parents, and carries within it the qualities of
the parents, transferred from their genetic centers.
Besides this, the energy waves given off by the planets and
the stars also affect the foetus, during its formation and
growth. As the exact moment of fertilization remains
unknown, the horoscope of the child, containing the
planetary positions, is cast ascertain the influence of the
planets on the child, and the possible changes that can
arise during the course of their transit across the skies.
2. Food
The quality of the food taken by the parent during
her pregnancy, and the child after its birth, bring
about changes in its genetic center.
3. Thoughts
Thought produce changes in the level of
biomagnetism in the body evil thoughts consume
biomagnetism at faster rates.
4. Actions
All actions make use of biomagnetism, and the rate
of consumption depends on the nature of the
actions.
5. Transit of the planets
The energy waves given off by the planets induce
changes in the genetic center, depending on their
distance, position etc.
6. Accidents and unforeseen events
Drastic changes in the climate, like heavy rains,
excessive heat, winds etc., as well as natural
calamities like floods, typhoons, volcanoes,
earthquakes etc.
Produce changes in the genetic center.

While being a reason for sensations of pleasure or pain, in


the above can also lead to death, when indulged in, in
excess.
FUNCTIONNING AS THE MIND

When the divine consciousness expands through the sense


organs in the living beings, and comes into contact with
and cognizes the objects in the world outside, the mind is
born. In other words, when the biomagnetism circulating
within the body, functions through the sense organs and
the brain cells, it gives rise to the mind. mind is the result
of the final transformation o f biomagnetism. When the
biomagnetic waves emanating from the sense organs in a
living thing, comes into contact with the energy waves
given off by the objects outside, fluctuations occur, which
is perceived by the consciousness in the body. The mind is
the product of the combined functioning of the genetic
center, the brain and the sense organs. The transformation
of biomagnetism into pressure, sound, light, taste and
smell, in the sense organs, is perceived by the mind, the
sixth transformation undergone by biomagnetism, in the
brain cells.

Eternal space, which is situated at the core of every energy


particle, as well as within the genetic center, has also
undergone transformation into biomagnetism. The mind is
a magnetic wave. All waves become static with the divine
state. The totality has manifested as the fraction, in man.
IMPRINTS AND THOUGHTS

Each thought, word and deed produces an imprint as per


the principles besides these, the results of the deeds also
produce suitable imprints, they in turn lead to further
actions, which again produce imprints, in a never-ending
series. The imprints produced by the sensory perceptions
are retained by the genetic center, in the form of
permanent records, to be recalled, even years later. The
imprints expand in to thoughts every time the frequencies
of the mind waves come to the same level it was, when the
imprints were originally created, even without the efforts
of the individual. It can happen any time, immediately
after an event, years later, or even after it has passed
through one or two generations. Its power to manifest as
actions depends on the force with which it was created
originally.

All imprints manifest as thoughts, words or deeds, in time.


For example, as seed planted in the soil, sprouts in to a
plant within a few days; but it takes time for the plant to
grow in to a tree, reveal the qualities of the parent tree
and begin to yield. It is the same in the case of the imprints
also: they take time to blossom in to actions and produce
suitable results. Everything happens as per the Law of
Nature.
FUNCTIONS OF THE GEN ETIC CENTER:

The functions of the genetic center are awe-inspiring. It is


the vortex of the magnetic circulation and contains within
it all the qualities of the Divine State, on account of the fact
that the Divine State itself has transformed in to
magnetism. It possesses both the qualities of compression
and repulsion. The two functions of the genetic center are:

1. Creating imprints and storing them, with the help


of the attractive force.
2. Expanding the imprints in to thoughts, with the
help of the repulsive force.

We see a cow around four feet tall and six feet in length.
An image of the cow, about the size of a mosquito, as
formed in our eyes, when we look at it. This image is
further compressed in to a microdot and taken to the
brain by the biomagnetism in the body, where it is
converted in to magnetic waves by the cells of the brain
and merged in to the biomagnetic field within the body.
The biomagnetic circulation takes it to the genetic center,
where it remains and becomes the quality of the genetic
center. After some time, when the biomagnetism
circulating within the body strikes the brain cells, the
imprints contained in the genetic center is expanded in to
the image of a cow in the mind. This normally happens
when the frequencies of the mind waves are at the same
frequencies as when the imprint was formed. Recollection
of an earlier experience can be done willfully, through our
own efforts also.

What we see now is not the original cow, but the image of
the animal we had seen earlier, drawn from the records
contained in the genetic center and expanded in to the
image of the cow with the help of the biomagnetic waves.
The image can be created any number of times during our
lifetime, for the imprint remains indelibly in the genetic
center. Imprints contained in the genetic center are all
permanent, and they ultimately became the personality of
the individual, reflecting as thoughts again and again in his
mind, producing sensations of pleasure or pain as
applicable. Every action generates imprints that ultimately
find their way to the genetic center. They are called sin
imprints.
IMPRINTING AND THE F IVE SENSES:

The other four sensory organs in the body, besides the


eyes, are also used by a living creature for perceiving the
world around it, and these experiences are also recorded
in the genetic center as in the earlier case. We listen to
someone speaking and the sound waves coming from the
person are collected by the ears, transformed in to
magnetic waves by the brain cells and transferred to the
genetic center through the medium of the biomagnetic
circulation, for retention as permanent records in the form
of characterized knots. In the same manner, the taste of
anything we eat, the smell of a flower, or the feel of
something on our skin are all recorded in the genetic
center. They are once again converted in to magnetic
waves of pressure, sound, light, taste and smell in the
sensory organs according to the needs and circumstances,
for purpose of cognition and discrimination of the
surroundings

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE BRAIN:

The brain does the function of transforming the


biomagnetic waves emanating from the genetic center in
to Pancha Tanmatras. All sensory perceptions take place
through transformation of magnetism and the combined
actions of the sensory organs, the brain and the genetic
center. The genetic center is the main field of actions in a
living being. Any action performed through the five
Karmendriyas, viz the skin, tongue, nose, eyes and the
ears, produce changes in the biomagnetic filed, in keeping
with the intensity of the actions or sensation. They are
converted in to characterized knots that become the
quality of the genetic center through the five senses
Five Senses

PURIFICATION OF THE SELF

Now let us discuss how we can purify the genetic centre so


that we can achieve a happy, blissful existence and the
perfection of our consciousness.

As a Physical Body

Human life is a combination of the Physical, Astral and


Causal Bodies. Of these, the physical body alone is
perceptible to our senses. The astral body is formed by the
association of the infinitesimal energy particles, and is
known as the life-force. The third one is the causal
magnetic body.

The human being is regarded as the ultimate stage in the


evolution of living beings on the earth. The structure of the
Physical Body is built with such a precision and
appropriate limbs and senses. The human mind is
provided with the sixth sense,
Which is able to realise all kinds of subjective phenomena
that are not possible to be understood by any of the five
senses. The omniscient consciousness of Nature is to be
adored for evolving such a wonderful bio-magnetic
organism, to fulfill the greatness of the universe and all its
wonders.

As an Astral body the outer layer of man is the physical


body. The inner layer is the Astral Body, which is the
aggregate of the life force particles that penetratively
circulate throughout the physical structure. This life force
particle in the living being is nothing but the infinitesimal
energy particle Venthon

The primary manifestation in the universal evolution from


the Gravity. In the universe, the Venthon is the first
principle among the Pancha Boothas the infinitesimal
unit of all masses in the universe.

If we take the physical body as the first and the peripheral


layer of the human being, the second and inner layer is the
astral body.

About Causal Body

Causal Body
The third layer of man is the Causal Body. This is the
aggregate total of the bio-magnetism existing and
functioning in the physical body.

The Life force particles coalesces with the surrounding


eternal space Gravity and evolves as the invisible power,
bio-magnetism. By the same process the magnetism
evolving at all places in the universe is the supreme
power, universal magnetism.

Extension of sensing faculty from the bio-magnetism is the


starting point of the living being. The bio-magnetism in the
physical body is circulating at its own speed. As a general
law of nature, anything that circulates or spins forms its
own intensified centre.

Under this principle the bio-magnetism also gets


intensified and forms its own intensified centre. This
centre automatically forms at the centre of the physical
body and this is what we call the Genetic Centre. Here,
the genes with their chromosomes accommodate

This is a divine magnetic domain of compressed


characteristics of the three layers of man, Physical body,
Astral body, and Causal body.

Purpose of this methodology is to innovate & implement


and execute in the new way of healing people in the
concept what I understand as per my views and
perceptions based on resulted oriented what I have been
practicing for long time i have been treating the various
ailment in this new methodology and I have got the result

Let us consider what remains as soul after the death of a


person. The genetic centre has been broken due to a short
circuit of abnormal bio-magnetic congestion within left
the genetic centre. The bio-magnetic body with all the
compressed imprints of karmas

And desires floats in the universal magnetism for a short


time and is likely to get attracted and attached to a
suitable and similarly characterized living person.

Discuss its philosophical concept of yoga

Yoga is defined as UJJ which means to join, the union of


mind and body commonly known generic term for the
physical body and mental body and spiritual practices or
disciplines which originated in India with a view to attain
a state of permanent peace. Specifically, yoga is one of the
most valued subject as per Hindu philosophy. One of the
most detailed and thorough expositions on the subject is
the yoga sutras of pathanjali which defines yoga as "the
stilling of the changing states of the mind" Yoga has also
been popularly defined as "union with the divine" in other
contexts and traditions. Various traditions of yoga are
found in Indian history as per my knowledge

As per Hindu philosophy, the word yoga is used to refer to


Hindu philosophy.According to Pathanjali in Sanskrit the
term yoga can be derived from either of two roots, yujir
yoga to yoke or yuj to concentrate. In the context of the
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the root yuj samdhau to
concentrate is considered by traditional commentators as
the correct etymology. In other texts and contexts, such as
the Bhagavad Gt and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the word
yoga has been used in conformity with yujir yoge to yoke
Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga
philosophy with a high level of commitment is called a
yogi or yogini.

Yoga is a disciplined method utilized for attaining a goal.

The ultimate goal of Yoga is moksha

In the specific sense of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, yoga is


defined as citta-vtti-nirodha

The cessation of the perturbations of consciousness

"spirit" "purusha": "Absolute freedom occurs when the


lucidity of material nature and spirit are in pure Patanjali
indicates that the ultimate goal of yoga is a state of
permanent peace or Kaivalya

Apart from the spiritual goals the physical postures of


yoga are used to alleviate health problems,

Reduce stress and make the spine supple in contemporary


times.

Yoga is also used as a complete exercise program and


physical therapy routine

Vedic period

In Vedic word of Sanskrit, the more commonly used, literal


meaning of the Sanskrit word yoga which is "to add", "to
join", "to unite", or "to attach" from the root ujj already
had a much more figurative sense,such as something to
some use. All further developments of the sense of this
word are "endeavour", "zeal" and "diligence" are also In
Indian classical traditions we consider Hirannyagarbha as
the originator of yoga practices of first were systematized
into a formal philosophy in early centuries with the Yoga
Sutras of Pathanjali of Hatha yoga merged as a prominent
tradition of yoga and yoga sutras of pathanajali had made
a marks as the development of yoga asanas and its uses
and benefits into the full body postures now in popular
usage and, along with its many modern variations, is the
style that many people associate with the word yoga
today, Hindu monks, beginning with Swami Vivekananda,
brought yoga to the West in the late 19th century. In the
1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical
exercise across the Western world. This form of yoga is
often called Hatha yoga. Many studies have tried to
determine the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary
intervention for various deceases such as asthma arthritis
and heart patients there are very and many containing
yoga in Sanskrit. Yoga can take on meanings such as
"connection", "contact", "method", "application",
"addition" and "performance". gu-yoga means "contact
with a cord"; yoga has a medical sense of "applying a splint
or similar instrument by means of pulleys in case of
dislocation of the thigh"; chandr-yoga has the
astronomical sense of "conjunction of the moon with a
constellation"; yoga is a grammatical term expressing
"connection or relation with a man", etc. Thus, Raja and
Bhakthi yoga means "devoted attachment" in the
Bhakthi Spirit Spirituals.The term Kriya yoga has a
grammatical sense, meaning "connection with a verb". But
the same compound is also given a technical meaning in
the Yoga Sutras designating the "practical" aspects of the
philosophy, i.e. the "union with the Supreme" due to
performance of duties in everyday life body's inner
intelligence.

According to Rig veda verses such as Rig Veda which reads


"Seers of the vast illumined seer yogically control their
minds and their intelligence." show that "at least the seed
of the entire Yoga teaching is contained in this most
ancient Aryan text". the oxygen and breath control and
curbing the mind was practiced since the Vedic times. and
yoga was fundamental to Vedic ritual, especially to
chanting the sacred hymns. While the actual term "yoga"
first occurs in the Katha Upanishad and later in the
Shvetasvatara Upanishad, an early reference to meditation
is made in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, the earliest
Upanishad c. 900 BCE.Yoga is discussed quite frequently in
the Upanishads, many of which predate Patanjali's Yoga
Sutras.

As per Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita 'Song of the Lord', uses the term "yoga"
extensively in a variety of ways dedicated to traditional
yoga practice, including meditation it introduces three
prominent types of yoga:

Karma yoga----------- The yoga of action

Bhakti yoga---------- The yoga of devotion.


Jnana yoga----------- The yoga of knowledge

Bhagavad Gita, Krishna explains to Arjuna about the


essence of yoga as practiced in daily live

yoga-stha kuru karmani sanyugam tyaktv dhananjay

siddhy-asiddhyo samo bhutv samatvam yoga ucyate

Yoga describes the yoga of the Gita as "a large, flexible and
many-sided system with various elements, which are all
successfully harmonized by a sort of natural and living
assimilation" all our teaching methodology is based on
ancient knowledge

The concept covers a wider field than self-development or self-help:


personal development also includes developing other people. This
may take place through roles such as those of a teacher or mentor,
either through a personal competency or through the health and
wellness training program

Beyond improving oneself and developing others, personal


development is a field of practice and research. As a field of practice
it includes personal development methods, learning programs,
assessment systems, tools and techniques. As a field of research,
personal development

Energy Healing Methodology

We work for the development of medicine distinguishes not


only one but several different kinds of. In a general sense, it is
something that is defined by five "cardinal functions":
all physical processes in the body, especially the
circulation of all body fluids such as blood in their vessels.
This includes actuation of the functions of the meridians.
Warming the body, especially the limbs.
Containment of body fluids, i.e. keeping blood, sweat,
urine, semen etc. from leakage or excessive emission.
Transformation of food, drink, and breath into (blood),
and "fluids", and/or transformation of all of the latter into
each other.
To fulfill its functions, has to steadily flow from the inside of the
body to the "superficial" body tissues of the skin, muscles, tendons,
bones, and joints pains and so on will be more of a research program
for us and we main focus on it

The Benefits of our new methodology are:

Acupressure releases & healing touch reduces muscular


tension

Increases blood circulation

Reduces pain

Reduces Stress

Strengthens resistance

Balancing body energy


And enables deep relaxation

You can learn easily

It is self-care applications

It is for a specific conditions

It also helps for addiction recovery

It also helps for learning disorders

Emotional imbalances

And develops spirituality and vibrant with maintaining


good health and overall health developments it cures
disease and promotes wellness

Our healing methodology uses the life force for internal healing. In
contrast, with the self healing new energy enhancement cultivate
their energy internally, but use the life force externally for self-
defense and physical power. Both practices cultivate healing energy
through exercise, diet, and visualizations. A well-developed
mastered knows how to use the life force for self-defense, and also
knows how to use this vital energy to heal self.

If you know any other prayer also it helps you I advise you
to chant your own prayer as per your wish it is not
necessarily one has to chant which I have given above you
can always pray to your own god, Universe will provide
the energy from the original source is that only one. That
is supreme god he is the one who Creator let he protect us
all this is my view

Be kind to yourself when you practice yoga. Go slowly,


especially in the beginning, and listen to your body. It
knows what it can do. If it says, "stop," stop. Do not push it.
Yoga is not a competitive sport. You do not win points for
matching a picture, if you push too hard, you probably
won't enjoy it, and you may hurt yourself. Work with a
teacher, to supplement for your benefit Most of all we do
for our benefit, stick with it. If you practice, you will
improve. In addition, you will feel better young and
energetic.

Health is wealth, Peace of mind is happiness, and Yoga


shows the way.
OM CHANTING

Om Chanting ---5 times gradually increase to 5,10,15,21


and thereafter do not count the nos just start chanting as
many as you want. Slow and silent Breathing ---5 times
and then chant Omkar again will helps Meditation on
cardio respiratory performance, Psychological,
Physiological etc. These observations suggest that yogic
practices can be used as psycho physiological stimulation
to increase endogenous secretion which in turn
responsible for improved sense of well-being.

Yoga generally associated with physical exercise to


become fit and fine

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word root Yuj meaning


joining. Bringing Jivatma (lower Self) to Paramatma
(Higher Self) is Yoga.

Yoga has many benefits physical, physiological,


psychological, Emotional attachments and detachments
spiritual, sociological etc.,

In the Srimad Bhgawat Gita 2nd Chapter Yoga is defined as


Samatwam Yoga Ucchyate (equanimity is Yoga) and Yoga
breathing rate is slowed by proper breathing. When the
breathing is slow, mind becomes calm and still.

Asthanga Yoga

The eight limbs of yoga according to Patanjali are:

Yama-Niyama-Asana-Pranayama-Pratyahara-Dharana-
Dhyana-Samadhi

a) Yama: abstentions or restraints (ahimsa-satya-asteya-


brahmaacrya-aparigraha yamah) the Yamas in relation to
the outer world consists of non-injury, truthfulness, non-
stealing, continence, and Patanajali says irrespective of
race, country, religion and time everyone must observe
the yamas.

b) Niyama: observances for oneself which cultivate


positive qualities (Shoucha-Santosha-Tapas-Swadyaya
Iswara Pranidana). the Niyamas consists of cleanliness,
contentment, austerity, self study and surrender to the
lord.

C) Asana: Yoga postures

D) Pranayama: Yogic breathing

E) Pratyahara: Withdrawal of senses

E) Dharana: Concentration

F) Dhyana: Meditation

G) Samadhi: Super consciousness


Key points to know: Before Getting
started

It is best to have the Practitioners positioned in a


comfortable, relaxed position either in any position

Move any things/sheets/blankets out of the way so you


have a clear area to move properly

Make sure you are comfortable get in close so that you


are not reaching forward and straining your back,

Support above and below the joints if you are having any
pain

You must support the weight of the body firmly but do not
squeeze tightly do not hold the breath very tightly do not
tighten the muscles or any part of the body just do very
relaxed way with the enjoyment

Keep your movements slow and smooth; the movement


should not cause pain

Do not force the movement if the muscle or joint is stiff


move only as much as the joint and muscle will allow as
per your capacity or limit do not cross the limit and do not
over strain yourself
Ask yourself which part of the body you want to focus on,
become aware the movements you are doing we want
you to keep your brain aware of the parts that is being
moved and what is happening inside the body and mind
along with the breath what are the changes are taking
place while doing and after the completion of the
particular step and do not forget to be aware and check
yourself after and before the steps were practiced what
are changes actually happening due to practice of the
steps we have to be very specific about the changes in the
mind and the body the level of thinking and stress level
blood sugar level B.P.Level etc have to tack care of yourself

Why is this important?

To prevent stiffness To assist with blood flow


To improve awareness of the full body

Pain and damage to muscles and joints can occur if the


gently not moved and if it is not done correctly.
Asana
Asana is defined by Patanjali as Sthiram Sukham Asanam.
Posture becomes firm and relaxed through enduring the
natural tendencies of the body and through meditation on
the infinite. By this one is not easily troubled by dualities
of sense experience.

Whatever posture we are comfortable with where we can


sit in for a long time is Asana.

To achieve asana Siddi, we need to do various postures to


loosen the joints and cleanse the nadis.

The Body Achieves what the mind believes

The Mind believes what you do

Hata Yoga

In the human body there are 72,000 nadis (energy


carrying nerves). Wherever nadis meet, there forms an
energy centre called Chakra. Generally the energy does not
flow through properly in the body because of impurities.
This is cleaned by the process of various asanas,
pranayams and Hata Yoga Kriyas.
Hata Yoga. Ha means Sun and Ta means Moon. Hata also
means +ve and ve energy. Bringing Sun and Moon
centers together so that Prana moves through Sushumna
central nadi) is Hata Yoga. Though we have 2 nostrils
generally we breath only through one nostril. Left nostril
is connected to the right brain. It is called Ida. It is also
called as Moon nadi. Breathing in through the left nostril
cools the body. When the body gets heated up through
emotions, Prana moves through left nostril (Ida) to cool
the body down.

The right nostril is connected to the left brain. It is called


Pingala. It is also called as Sun nadi. Breathing in through
the Right nostril heats the body up. When the body gets
cooled down through calm and clear thinking, Prana
moves through right nostril (Pingala Nadi) to warm the
body up.

This alternate switching happens every about 2 hours.


Practicing Pranayama makes the Prana to travel through
the central nadi called Sushumna nadi. By bringing the
prana to the Sushuman Nadi (brining sun and moon
system together) we will not be oscillating like a
pendulum for every passing thoughts and emotions. This
done through Nasika shuddi (cleaning the nasal passage)
and Nadi shuddi (cleaning the nadis) pranayama.
There are 6 Hata yoga kriyas. They are Neti (cleaning the
sinus through the nose), Dhauti (cleaning the wind and
food pipe), Nauli (churning the stomach muscles), Basti
(cleaning the lower and upper intestine), Kaphalabathi
(cleaning the sinus and head by active exhale and passive
inhale) and Tratak (gazing on light)

Kriyas.
Kapalabhati Kriya

kapala = skull bhati = light (implying perception,


knowledge) it is a Pranyama step please fallow below
sitting step & do

Sit in sukasana or Vajrasana or Padmasana

Step by Step

Kapalabhati consists of alternating short, explosive


exhales and slightly longer, passive inhales. Exhales are
generated by powerful contractions of the lower belly
(between the pubis and navel), which push air out of the
lungs. Inhales are responses to the release of this
contraction, which sucks air back into the lungs.
Focus on your lower belly. Many beginners aren't able to
isolate and contract this area. If needed, cup one hand
lightly in the other and press them gently against your
lower belly.

Now quickly contract (or pump your fisted hands against)


your lower belly, pushing a burst of air out of your lungs.
Then quickly release the contraction (or your hands), so
the belly "rebounds" to suck air into your lungs. Pace
yourself slowly at first. Repeat eight to 10 times at about
one exhale-inhale cycle every second or two.

As you become more adept at contracting/releasing your


lower belly, you can increase your pace to about two
exhale-inhale cycles every second. Imagine the exhale
sweeping out or "brightening" the inner lining of your
skull.

Do 25 to 30 cycles at first. Gradually increase the number


of cycles you do each practice to 100 or more.
Pranayama
About Breathing
"Breathing is the first place not the last place one should
investigate when any disordered energy presents itself. "

Breathing is not only a marker for health and longevity, it is a


major aspect for personal and spiritual growth and our ability to
create and adapt to life's challenges and opportunities as we
progress at our own speed.

(Prana) (yama)
Prana is not just breathing. Breathing is the external sign
of prana. Yogis can live without breathing for a long time.
When the Prana leaves the body, breathing stops and that
body s then called dead. Since we have prana in the body
we are called Prani.

By doing pranayama, the covering of inner light is


removed. body. When the Prana leaves the body, our gods
cannot function any more.

Pranayama means expansion of Prana (Prana Ayama).


Prana is divided in to Prana (energy makes heart pump,
feel etc.), apana (excretion), Vyana (circulation), Samana
(digestion), Udana (makes us talk, swallow etc) and 5 upa
pranas like Naga (Burping), Kurma (Blinking), Devadatta
(Yawning), Kruku (Sneezing), Dhanajaya (preserving the
body for a while after death)
On inhalation, our diaphragm (situated below the lungs)
moves downwards. Air you breathe in through the nose is
drawn down the trachea to the lungs, which are protected
by the ribcage. If we are breathing properly, the abdomen
and ribcage will expand as we inhale. On an exhalation,
our diaphragm moves upwards, compressing the lungs
and pushing air out of them. The air passes back up
through the trachea and out through the nostrils.

When full breathing takes place (all 3 stages udara


(stomach- Deep abdominal breathing), ura (chest middle
Thoracic breathing) and griva swasa (upper chest
breathing - Clavicular breathing) our breathing rate
reduces automatically and mind becomes calm and serene.
The 12th chapter of the Bhagawat Gita says that person
does not get agitated by the world nor he can agitate the
world. Such a person becomes like a walking temple and
his or her mere presence is spreading peace, love and
harmony.

To make the Prana move through the Sushumna Nadi


techniques like Nadi shodana, Ujjayi, Surya bedhana,
Shitali, Shitakari, Bastrika, Kapalabhathi Pranayama are
practiced.

Pratyahara, Dharana and Dhyana. Through Dharana mind


gains power of concentration. When the mind is
withdrawn from the sense objects, sense-organs are also
withdrawn from the mind. Thus the sense objects are said
to imitate the mind. This is prayahara. Yoga nidra is an
important process for training in mind for pratyahara,
dharana and dhyana. It is a process of calming the mind
and yet being fully aware of the process. This helps in
strengthening the link between the Ajna and Anahada
Chakra.

Benefits of Pranayama

Breathing is a normal part of our life, though we fail to pay


attention to it. It is an autonomic function of the body that
we perform even without concentrating on it. Then why do
we have to learn yoga breathing? Here are some reasons
why Pranayama is important:

Pranayama teaches us the proper way to breathe. We


became used to breathing from our chest, using only a
fraction of the lungs, not knowing that this unhealthy and
unnatural way of inhaling may lead to several complications.
With yoga breathing, we increase the capacity of our lungs,
bringing more oxygen supply to the body to function well.
We learn how to breathe slowly and deeply - the right way.

Pranayama reduces the toxins and body wastes from within


our body. It prevents one from acquiring diseases.

Pranayama helps in one's digestion. With the proper way of


breathing, one's metabolism and health condition will start
to improve.

Pranayama develops our concentration and focus. It fights


away stress and relaxes the body & mind. Controlling one's
breathing also results to serenity and peace of mind.
Pranayama offers a better self-control. Through
concentration, one can better handle temper and reactions.
Mind can function clearly, avoiding arguments and wrong
decisions. Moreover, self-control also involves control over
one's physical body.

Pranayama leads to spiritual journey through a relaxed body


mind & soul in combination with the universal source.

However, Pranayama should not be forced and done without


proper preparation, or it may lead to nervous breakdowns. It is
part of a process in yoga. Breath control is a spiritual practice of
cleansing the mind and body which should be done
appropriately and with proper guidance and preparation.

Breathing is important for two basic reasons.

It is the only means of supplying our bodies and its various


organs with oxygen which is vital for our health. Breathing is
one of the ways to get rid of waste products and toxins from
our body.

Oxygen purifies the blood stream


One of the major secrets of energy and rejuvenation is a
purified blood stream. The quickest and most effective way
to purify the blood stream is by taking in extra supplies of
oxygen from the air we breathe yoga permits us to tap into
this vital nutrient.

Importance of Healthy Breathing

We know how to breathe. It is something that occurs


automatically, spontaneously, and naturally. We are
breathing even when we are not aware of it. So it seems
foolish to think that one can be told how to breathe. Yet,
one's breathing becomes modified and restricted in various
ways, not just momentarily but habitually. We develop
unhealthy habits without being aware of it.
We also live in social conditions that are not good for the
health of our Respiratory System. A normally sedentary
person, when confronted with a perplexing problem, tends
to lean forward, draw his arms together, and bend his head
down. All these body postures result to reduced lung
capacity. However, we also tend to have some bad habits
that affect our breathing and here are a few reasons. As our
duties, responsibilities and their attendant problems become
more demanding; we develop habits of forgetting to breathe.
The more we concentrate on something, the tenser the
muscles become. This leads to the contraction of the muscles
in your arms, neck and chest. The muscles that move the
thorax and control inhalation and muscular tenseness clamp
down and restrict the exhalation. The breaths become
shorter and shorter. After an extended period of intense
focusing, the whole system seems to be frozen in a certain
posture. We become fatigued from the decreased circulation
of blood and from the decreased availability of oxygen for
the blood because we have almost stopped breathing. This
situation also lowers their immune system, making them
susceptible to catching Colds, flu and other Allergies.

Importance of Breathing through the Nose

The first rule for correct breathing is that we should breathe


through the nose. This may seem obvious, but many people
breathe principally through the mouth. Mouth breathing can
adversely affect the development of the Thyroid Gland, and
can retard the mental development of children. Pathogens
can also enter the lungs through mouth breathing that
makes it impossible to be healthy. It is easy to break the
habit of breathing through the mouth. Just keep your mouth
closed and you will automatically breathe through your
nose. The nose has various defense mechanisms to prevent
impurities and excessively cold air entering the body. At the
entrance to the nose, a screen of hairs traps dust, tiny insects
and other particles that may injure the lungs if you breathe
through the mouth. After the entrance of the nose, there is a
long winding passage lined with mucus membranes, where
excessively cool air is warmed and very fine dust particles
that escaped the hair screen are caught there are various
steps of breathing for that we fallow below WHEN THE
BREATH WANDERS, THE MIND IS UNSTEADY, BUT WHEN
THE BREATH IS STILL, SO IS THE MIND STILL." Breathing
is life. It is one of our most vital functions. One of the Five
Principles of Yoga is Pranayama or Breathing Exercise which
promotes proper breathing. In a Yogic point of view, proper
breathing is to bring more oxygen to the blood and to the
brain, and to control Prana or the vital life energy.
Pranayama & Yoga also goes hand in hand with the
Asanas. The union of these two Yogic Principles is
considered as the highest form of purification and self-
discipline, covering both mind and body.

Warning: Yoga Breathing Exercises or Pranayamas are very


powerful exercises. Many people experience dizziness or loose
consciousness while practicing Beginner or Advanced
breathing techniques. Practice all Breathing Exercises slowly
and controlled. Perhaps ask a friend to stay with you when
trying out a new Breathing Technique.

Science has proven that cancer is anaerobic - it does not


survive in high levels of oxygen.
Shortness of breath and heart disease are directly
linked - the heart goes into spasm when it is deprived of
oxygen.
Studies have shown that there is a high correlation
between high blood pressure and poor breathing.
Most emotional issues, including breathing
related anxiety and depression, result from the nervous
system being out of balance. Breathing drives
the nervous system.
Optimal Breathing helps to promote weight
loss. Oxygen burns fat and calories.
Breathing well is the key to sleeping well and waking up
feeling rested.
Breathing provides 99% of your energy. Without
energy, nothing works.
Yoga breathing may or may not aid proper breathing
Breath is life. Virtually every health condition and
human activity is improved with Optimal Breathing.
BREATHING SUPPLIES OVER 99% OF YOUR ENTIRE OXYGEN
AND ENERGY SUPPLY. POOR BREATHING CAUSES OR
WORSENS CHRONIC MALADIES SUCH AS ASTHMA,
ALLERGIES, ANXIETY, FATIGUE, DEPRESSION, HEADACHES,
HEART CONDITIONS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, SLEEP LOSS,
OBESITY, HARMFUL STRESS, POOR MENTAL CLARITY PLUS
HUNDREDS OF OTHER LESSER KNOWN BUT EQUALLY
HARMFUL CONDITIONS. ALL DISEASES ARE CAUSED OR
WORSENED BY POOR BREATHING.
The average person reaches peak respiratory function and lung
capacity in their mid 20's. Then they begin to lose respiratory
capacity: between 10% and 27% for every decade of life! So,
unless you are doing something to maintain or improve your
breathing capacity, it will decline, and with it, your general
health, your life expectancy, and for that matter, your spirit as
well.

Optimal breathing gets you more vitality and better quality of


life. We also address food, exercise, internal cleansing, attitude,
and environment but breathing is for many the most important
part of getting and staying healthy. Begin with breathing. Better
breathing is possible for anyone. Develop your breathing now.

Breathing fundamentals are critical.


Just because one particular breathing exercise or development
technique feels good does not mean it is the best choice. Many
feel good at the outset of a certain exercise but that is largely
because so many breathe so poorly that any progress feels
significant, and it may well be. But each technique or exercise
must be based in solid breathing fundamentals otherwise they
can work against each other and cause future breathing
development problems. Like a rocket ship even slightly off
course, as the days and weeks pass, you will travel further and
further away from your goal of a long, healthy,
vibrant life. Knowing the fundamentals helps you stay on
course. Here is an example of being way off course

ASANA There are different types of asanas and many in


numbers for practice in different methodology and in RYMT
we fallow few of these which we have mentioned here in the
book before you begin please see
Nadishudhi Pranyama

Nadishudhi Pranyama Surya Bhedhana pranyama &


Chendra Bhedhana

surya = sun bhedana = piercing (chahn-drah) chandra =

To do any Pranayama we must know how to sit and what


are the sitting positions can be used for doing the
Pranayama

Step by Step

Sukasana

Sukasana is easy yoga sitting posture in relaxation step It


is a relaxing yoga pose where you sit in a cross legged
position

Our right nostril is energetically associated with our


body's heating energy, symbolized by the "Sun" and the
syllable HA, our left nostril with our body's cooling energy,
symbolized by the "Moon" and the syllable THA.

In the average person these energies are typically in


conflict, which leads to disquiet and disease. The goal of
traditional Hatha Yoga is to integrate and harmonize HA
and THA for happiness and health. The purpose of these
two breaths then is to create balance by "warming" a
"cool" body-mind and vice versa.

Sit in a comfortable asana and make Mrigi Mudra. For


Surya Bhedana block your left nostril and inhale through
your right. Then close the right and exhale through the
left. Continue in this manner, inhale right, exhale left, for 1
to 3 minutes.

For Chandra Bhedana, simply reverse the instructions in

PADMASANA -While doing any asana, it is very important to be


alert and be conscious of what we are doing. Concentration and
relaxation play a vital role in the practice of yoga. Padmasana is
also called kamalasana, which means lotus. The form of the legs
while performing this asana gives the appearance of a lotus. It is
the best asana for contemplation.

As we start the asana, one must become conscious of the body.

before doing the asana. As one takes the right posture, one must
close the eyes and be aware of the body. The Muscles must be
relaxed. One should feel the touch of the legs on the floor. The
focus should then be shifted to the breath. A feeling of peace
touches the mind. Sit in this posture for a few Minutes before
proceeding to the next asana.

1. Sit on the ground by spreading the legs forward.


2. Place the right foot on the left thigh and the left foot on the
right thigh.

Starting Position: Sit with legs straight


Concentration: on the whole body
Breath: normal breathing

Repetitions: once to each side


Practice: Sit with the legs straight. Bend the left leg and place it
over the right thigh so that the left heel touches the outer side of
the right buttock. Bend the right leg and place the right heel
beside the left buttock. Both buttocks remain on the floor.
Raise the right arm and bend it behind the head so the elbow
points up. Bring the left arm behind the back from below and
clasp the fingers of both hands together. The head remains
upright and straight and rests on the right forearm. Look up.
Breathing normally hold the position. Return to the starting
position.
Practice the exercise on the other side.
Benefits: Strengthens the finger joints and wrists, promotes
mobility of the shoulders and hips, while strengthening muscles
of the chest and back. Improves a rounded back and sideways
curvature of the spine. Facilitates deeper breathing. Stimulates
kidney function, activates the bladder and the digestive system,
and also counters diabetes.
Caution: THIS EXERCISE SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICED WITH
INJURIES TO THE ARMS, HANDS OR LEGS.
Step by Step

Sit in Dandasana (Staff Pose), then bend your knees and


put your feet on the floor. Slide your left foot under the right
knee to the outside of the right hip. Then cross your right leg
over the left, stacking the right knee on top of the left, and bring
the right foot to the outside of the left hip. Try to bring the heels
equidistant from the hips: with the right leg on top you'll have to
tug the right heel in closer to the left hip.

Inhale and stretch your right arm straight out to the


right, parallel to the floor. Rotate your arm inwardly; the thumb
will turn first toward the floor, then point toward the wall
behind you, with the palm facing the ceiling. This movement will
roll your right shoulder slightly up and forward, and round your
upper back. With a full exhalation, sweep the arm behind your
torso and tuck the forearm in the hollow of your lower back,
parallel to your waist, with the right elbow against the right side
of your torso. Roll the shoulder back and down, then work the
forearm up your back until it is parallel to your spine. The back
of your hand will be between your shoulder blades. See that
your right elbow doesn't slip away from the right side of your
torso.

Now inhale and stretch your left arm straight forward,


pointing toward the opposite wall, parallel to the floor. Turn the
palm up and, with another inhalation, stretch the arm straight
up toward the ceiling, palm turned back. Lift actively through
your left arm, then with an exhalation, bend the elbow and reach
down for the right hand. If possible, hook the right and left
fingers.

Lift the left elbow toward the ceiling and, from the back
armpit, descend the right elbow toward the floor. Firm your
shoulder blades against your back ribs and lift your chest. Try to
keep the left arm right beside the left side of your head.
Stay in this pose about 1 minute. Release the arms,
uncross the legs, and repeat with the arms and legs
reversed for the same length of time. Remember that
whichever leg is on top, the same-side arm is lower.

position
Repetitions: each variation once
Practice: Lie on the back. The arms lie beside the body with the
palms facing up. Inhaling raise the legs, buttocks and upper body
into Sarvangasana. Exhaling, keep the legs straight and lower
them behind the head. The tips of the toes touch the floor and
the chin touches the chest. Breathing normally hold the posture
as long as comfortable. Inhaling raise both legs up into
Sarvangasana. Exhaling slowly return to the starting position.
Variation A (without illustration): Come into Halasana and
support the back with the hands.
Variation B: Come into Halasana and hold the toes.
Benefits: Beneficial for the pancreas and digestive system and
is therefore recommended for people with diabetes. Activates
the Vishuddhi Chakra and Manipura Chakra. Encourages
flexibility of the back and stretches the muscles along the back
of the legs.
Caution: THIS ASANA SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICED WITH
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR PROBLEMS OF THE CERVICAL
SPINE.

Step by Step

From Salamba Sarvangasana, exhale and bend from the


hip joints to slowly lower your toes to the floor above and
beyond your head. As much as possible, keep your torso
perpendicular to the floor and your legs fully extended.

With your toes on the floor, lift your top thighs and tailbone
toward the ceiling and draw your inner groins deep into the
pelvis. Imagine that your torso is hanging from the height of
your groins. Continue to draw your chin away from your
sternum and soften your throat.

You can continue to press your hands against the back


torso, pushing the back up toward the ceiling as you press the
backs of the upper arms down, onto your support. Or you can
release your hands away from your back and stretch the arms
out behind you on the floor, opposite the legs. Clasp the hands
and press the arms actively down on the support as you lift the
thighs toward the ceiling.

Halasana is usually performed after Sarvangasana for


anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. To exit the pose bring your
hands onto your back again, lift back into Sarvangasana with an
exhalation, then roll down onto your back, or simply roll out of
the pose on an exhalation.

DHANURASANA (BOW POSE)

This pose is so called because it looks like an


archer's bow, the torso and legs representing the body of the
bow, and the arms the string. Dhanu = bow

Step by Step

Lie on your belly with your hands alongside your torso,


palms up. (You can lie on a folded blanket to pad the front of
your torso and legs.) Exhale and bend your knees, bringing your
heels as close as you can to your buttocks. Reach back with your
hands and take hold of your ankles (but not the tops of the feet).
Make sure your knees aren't wider than the width of your hips,
and keep your knees hip width for the duration of the pose.

Inhale and strongly lift your heels away from your buttocks
and, at the same time, lift your thighs away from the floor. This
will have the effect of pulling your upper torso and head off the
floor. Burrow the tailbone down toward the floor, and keep your
back muscles soft. As you continue lifting the heels and thighs
higher, press your shoulder blades firmly against your back to
open your heart. Draw the tops of the shoulders away from your
ears. Gaze forward.

With the belly pressed against the floor, breathing will be


difficult. Breathe more into the back of your torso, and be sure
not to stop breathing.

Stay in this pose anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds. Release


as you exhale, and lie quietly for a few breaths. You can repeat
the pose once or twice more.
BENEFITS
Stretches the entire front of the body, ankles, thighs and
groins, abdomen and chest, and throat, and deep hip flexors

CHEKRASANA OR URDHVAMUKA
DHANURASANA

urdhva = upward dhanu = bow

Step by Step

Lie supine on the floor. Bend your knees and set your feet
on the floor, heels as close to the sitting bones as possible. Bend
your elbows and spread your palms on the floor beside your
head, forearms relatively perpendicular to the floor, fingers
pointing toward your shoulders.

Pressing your inner feet actively into the floor, exhale and
push your tailbone up toward the pubis, firming (but not
hardening) the buttocks, and lift the buttocks off the floor. Keep
your thighs and inner feet parallel. Take 2 or 3 breaths. Then
firmly press the inner hands into the floor and your shoulder
blades against the back and lift up onto the crown of your head.
Keep your arms parallel. Take 2 or 3 breaths.

Press your feet and hands into the floor, tailbone and
shoulder blades against your back, and with an exhalation, lift
your head off the floor and straighten your arms. Turn the upper
thighs slightly inward and firm the outer thighs. Narrow the hip
points and lengthen the tailbone toward the backs of the knees,
lifting the pubis toward the navel.

Turn the upper arms outward but keep the weight on the
bases of the index fingers. Spread the shoulder blades across the
back and let the head hang, or lift it slightly to look down at the
floor.

CAUTIONS

pressure
USTRASANA OR CAMEL POSTURE

Step by Step

Kneel on the floor with your knees hip width and thighs
perpendicular to the floor. Rotate your thighs inward slightly,
narrow your hip points, and firm but don't harden your
buttocks. Imagine that you're drawing your sitting bones up,
into your torso. Keep your outer hips as soft as possible. Press
your shins and the tops of your feet firmly into floor.

Rest your hands on the back of your pelvis, bases of the


palms on the tops of the buttocks, fingers pointing down. Use
your hands to spread the back pelvis and lengthen it down
through your tail bone. Then lightly firm the tail forward,
toward the pubis. Make sure though that your front groins don't
"puff" forward. To prevent this, press your front thighs back,
countering the forward action of your tail. Inhale and lift your
heart by pressing the shoulder blades against your back ribs.

Now lean back against the firmness of the tail bone and
shoulder blades. For the time being keep your head up, chin
near the sternum, and your hands on the pelvis. Beginners
probably won't be able to drop straight back into this pose,
touching the hands to the feet simultaneously while keeping the
thighs perpendicular to the floor. If you need to, tilt the thighs
back a little from the perpendicular and minimally twist to one
side to get one hand on the same-side foot. Then press your
thighs back to perpendicular, turn your torso back to neutral,
and touch the second hand to its foot. If you're not able to touch
your feet without compressing your lower back, turn your toes
under and elevate your heels.

See that your lower front ribs aren't protruding sharply


toward the ceiling, which hardens the belly and compresses the
lower back. Release the front ribs and lift the front of the pelvis
up, toward the ribs. Then lift the lower back ribs away from the
pelvis to keep the lower spine as long as possible. Press your
palms firmly against your soles (or heels), with the bases of the
palms on the heels and the fingers pointing toward the toes.
Turn your arms outwardly so the elbow creases face forward,
without squeezing the shoulder blades together. You can keep
your neck in a relatively neutral position, neither flexed nor
extended, or drop your head back. But be careful not to strain
your neck and harden your throat.

Stay in this pose anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. To


exit, bring your hands onto the front of your pelvis, at the hip
points. Inhale and lift the head and torso up by pushing the hip
points down, toward the floor. If your head is back, lead with
your heart to come up, not by jutting the chin toward the ceiling
and leading with your brain. Rest in Child's Pose for a few
breaths.

BENEFITS
Stretches the entire front of the body, the ankles, thighs and
groins,

Abdomen and chest, and throat Stretches the deep hip


flexors (psoas) Strengthens back muscles

MARICHASANA

Marichia is the son of Brahma and chief of the Maruts ("shining


ones"), the war-like storm gods. He's one of the seven
(sometimes 10 or 12) seers (rishis) or lords of creation
(prajapatis), who intuitively "see" and declare the divine law of
the universe (dharma). Marichi is the great-grandfather of Manu
("man, thinking, intelligent"), the Vedic Adam and the "father" of
humanity.

Step by Step

Sit in Dandanasa (Staff Pose), then bend your right knee and
put the foot on the floor, with the heel as close to the right
sitting bone as possible. Keep the left leg strong and rotated
slightly inward; ground the head of the thigh bone into the floor.
Press the back of the left heel and the base of the big toe away
from the pelvis. Also press the inner right foot actively into the
floor, but soften the inner right groin to receive the pubis as you
twist. Grounding the straight-leg thigh and bent-knee foot will
help you lengthen your spine, which is always the first
prerequisite of a successful twist.

With an exhalation, rotate your torso to the right and wrap


your left arm around the right thigh. Hold the outer thigh with
your left hand, then pull the thigh up as you release the right hip
toward the floor. Press your right fingertips onto the floor just
behind your pelvis to lift the torso slightly up and forward.
Remember to keep your straight leg and bent-knee foot
grounded. Sink the inner right groin deeper into the pelvis, then
lengthen your front belly up out of the groin along the inner
right thigh. Continue lengthening the spine with each inhalation,
and twist a little more with each exhalation. Hug the thigh to
your belly, then lean back against your shoulder blades into an
upper-back backbend. Gently turn your head to the right to
complete the twist in your cervical spine.

Stay in the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then release


with an exhalation, reverse the legs and twist to the left for an
equal length of time.

buttocks supported on a folded blanket. Bend your knees, put
your feet on the floor, then slide your left foot under your right

near the knee. Pull your front torso and inner right thigh snugly
together.

Press the inner right foot very actively into the floor, release
the right groin, and lengthen the front torso. Lean the upper
torso back slightly, against the shoulder blades, and continue to
lengthen the tailbone into the floor.

You can turn your head in one of two directions: Continue


the twist of the torso by turning it to the right; or counter the
twist of the torso by turning it left and looking over the left
shoulder at the right foot.

With every inhalation lift a little more through the sternum,


pushing the fingers against the floor to help. Twist a little more
with every exhalation. Be sure to distribute the twist evenly
throughout the entire length of the spine; don't concentrate it in
the lower back. Stay for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then release
with an exhalation, return to the starting position, and repeat to
the left for the same length of time.

PASCHIMOTTANASANA

paschimottana = intense stretch of the west (pashima = west


uttana = intense stretch)

Step by Step

Sit on the floor with your buttocks supported on a folded


blanket and your legs straight in front of you. Press actively
through your heels. Rock slightly onto your left buttock, and pull
your right sitting bone away from the heel with your right hand.
Repeat on the other side. Turn the top thighs in slightly and
press them down into the floor. Press through your palms or
finger tips on the floor beside your hips and lift the top of the
sternum toward the ceiling as the top thighs descend.

Draw the inner groins deep into the pelvis. Inhale, and
keeping the front torso long, lean forward from the hip joints,
not the waist. Lengthen the tailbone away from the back of your
pelvis. If possible take the sides of the feet with your hands,
thumbs on the soles, elbows fully extended; if this isn't possible,
loop a strap around the foot soles, and hold the strap firmly. Be
sure your elbows are straight, not bent.
When you are ready to go further, don't forcefully pull
yourself into the forward bend, whether your hands are on the
feet or holding the strap. Always lengthen the front torso into
the pose, keeping your head raised. If you are holding the feet,
bend the elbows out to the sides and lift them away from the
floor; if holding the strap, lighten your grip and walk the hands
forward, keeping the arms long. The lower belly should touch
the thighs first, then the upper belly, then the ribs, and the head
last.

With each inhalation, lift and lengthen the front torso just
slightly; with each exhalation release a little more fully into the
forward bend. In this way the torso oscillates and lengthens
almost imperceptibly with the breath. Eventually you may be
able to stretch the arms out beyond the feet on the floor.

Stay in the pose anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. To come up,


first lift the torso away from the thighs and straighten the
elbows again if they are bent. Then inhale and lift the torso up
by pulling the tailbone down and into the pelvis.

YOGA FOR ASTHMA AND


BRONCHITIS

Yoga is a system inclusive of physical and mental


training that can benefit people of all ages. It involves
Asanas (body postures) and Pranayama (art of breath
control), among which of its physical uses are to reduce
stress-related conditions, help with circulatory and
respiratory disorders such as Asthma and Bronchitis,
and improve over-all health.

Asthma and Bronchitis are two chronic lung ailments


that can cause damage to the lungs. These should be
treated immediately to avoid any complications.
Asthma
This is a very common respiratory complaint, which
involves a severe narrowing of
the bronchial tubes (bronchi). These tubes lead from
the windpipe called the trachea into the lungs and
they carry the oxygen we breathe in to all parts of the
lungs and provide a path for the carbon dioxide to
escape up the trachea when we breathe out. This
narrowing of the bronchi causes difficulty in breathing,
specifically when breathing out.

The typical attack is characterized by a sudden


shortness of breath and wheezing, also sometimes
accompanied by coughing. The bringing up of phlegm is
not a prominent part of the attack, but if it occurs, the
patient may also have Bronchitis. Asthma attack is
triggered by infections like common cold and sinusitis,
irritants or allergens breathed in like fumes and dust,
food allergens, psychological changes, physical exertion,
and even medicinal drugs. Identifying the causes and
treating the symptoms early on can help prevent
attacks and make it worse.

Bronchitis
Bronchitis is a more critical lung ailment compared to
Asthma a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
and is the fourth leading cause of death in the world.
This is a serious infection of the lungs and bronchial
tubes, which can become chronic. Breathing polluted air
and smoking are mainly responsible for this ailment.

This particular disorder has inflamed bronchial tubes


caused by a bacterial or viral infection. It may develop
suddenly, following a head cold (acute Bronchitis), or it
may persist or return regularly for many years, causing
progressive degeneration of bronchi and lungs
(chronic Bronchitis). The serious the form of chronic
Bronchitis, On one hand, initial symptoms for acute
Bronchitis include head cold, running nose, fever and
chills, aching muscles, and possibly back pain. The most
obvious feature that follows is persistent cough. On the
other hand, chronic Bronchitis is characterized by
cough, and other symptoms depend on how much or
how little emphysema is present.

Certain people are more susceptible than others; men


are more so than women, outnumbering them ten to
one the reasons why are unclear. Smokers are 50
times more likely to get chronic Bronchitis than non-
smokers. Generally, it occurs with greater frequency in
winter, in damp, cold climates, and in heavily polluted
environments. Chilling, overcrowding, fatigue, and
excessive smoking are contributory factors.

Yoga Exercises including the poses, chest exercises,


breathing, and relaxation techniques put you in control
of your mind and emotions, making you more relaxed
and allowing you to breathe easier. This will also help
your lungs work better and enhance airflow during
Asthma attacks.
Here are the Yoga poses to help you feel better and take
control over Asthma and Bronchitis, together with
proper medication and your doctors help:
Do the fallowing Asanas along with the Suryanamaskar

YOGA FORAFTHRITIES

Arthritis results from the deterioration of soft tissues that cover


and protect the joints. When this happens, the bones rub against
each other, which is painful. While doctors are still on the
process of determining what exactly causes arthritis, many
believe that the deterioration may be caused by the pressure of
gravity on the joints - the wear and tear of life, so to speak.
Obesity and heredity contribute to deterioration of arthritis. All
Yoga Steps which we have done including pranayama Relaxation
Techniques are good for Arthritis

Causes are excess uric acid that gets deposited in the joints.
Interestingly, uric acid levels are higher for people who drink
too much alcohol, as it interferes with the process of getting rid
of excess uric acid.

Whatever the case may be, arthritis appears to be correlated


with poor bone and muscle health, disproportionate body
weight, and unhealthy lifestyle.

With Yoga, these aspects of a person's physique and life can be


greatly enhanced. Yoga Asana can help strengthen your joints
which is crucial in preventing and dealing with arthritis. It
makes your joints function normally, thus reducing the risk of
stiffness. With its virtue of balance, it helps regulate the levels of
uric acid in the body. Obesity may also be avoided through the
practice. More importantly, Yoga can lead to an overall healthier
lifestyle that can enhance your resistance not only from arthritis
but to other sicknesses as well for total wellbeing so do yoga
regularly and yoga for arthritis I advise to all arteritis people all
the above asana pranayama and below some asana which I have
given in this book all are advisable to practice on daily basis
minimum for a hour

GAYATRI MANTRA
Om bhur bhuvah suvah Tat savitur varenyam Bhargo devasya
dheemahi Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat

O splendid and playful sun, we offer this prayer to thee; enlighten


this craving mind; be our protector; may the radiance of the divine
ruler guide our destiny; wise men salute your magnificence with
oblations and words of praise.

The Vedic scriptures of the Hindu religion refer to the sun as the
store house of inexhaustible power and radiance. The sun god is
referred to as Surya or Aditya. The Vedas are full of hymns
describing the celestial body as the source and sustainer of all life
on earth. The origin of the worship of the Sun in India is thus
several centuries old. The sun stands for knowledge, spiritual light
and wisdom.

Surya is worshiped as a chief solar deity. He is a vision of the


divine, whose light fills all the worlds; Surya is also the Cosmic
Pillar and support of the universe and the symbol of the Supreme.
Surya is the most popular Vedic God he is worshipped as Savitr,
the source of life and light. The Sun is to be installed in the temple
of our body so that it dispels darkness by its effulgence once and
all for all time-the darkness of ignorance.

Surya is portrayed with hair and arms of gold, three eyes, and

four hands holding water lilies the flower that longs for the dawn
and drives a chariot pulled by seven horses representing the seven
days of the week. In Hindu religious literature, Surya is notably
mentioned as the visible form of God that one can see every day.
The Indian system of beliefs regards sunlight as the greatest of
disinfectants; hence the sun is associated with healing power.
Legend has it that Samba the son of Krishna was cured of leprosy
by his worship of the sun god. It is still believed by many that sun
worship offered at several of the sun temples all over India, is a
cure for leprosy and other skin ailments, blindness and
infertility.

SURYA NAMASKARA (Sun Salutation)

Sun worship is often mentioned in the Ramayana. Before


Rama goes to fight Ravana, sage Agastya advises him to worship
Surya and chant the Adityahridayam, which destroys enemies,
gives victory, removes all sins and sorrows, and gives light to the
world. Surya Namaskara is an ancient system of Indian exercise. it
includes the regular routine of prayer and worship. One of the
means of honoring the sun is through the dynamic asana sequence
Surya Namaskar (better known as Sun Salutation).
The Sun Salutation is a prayer in motion. It allows us to use the
body as an instrument of higher awareness, so that we can receive
wisdom and knowledge. Surya namaskar consists of a sequence of
twelve postures performed continuously and combined with
synchronized breathing. Each position counteracts the preceding
one producing a balance between flexions and extensions. Among
these twelve positions, ten are Asanas only. The first one and the
last one are two positions. All these Asanas and position are very
easy to perform and can easily be practiced by the people of all
ages. Together these twelve positions constitute the process of
Surya Namaskara.

Surya Namaskar must be performed at some open and airy place.


Perform Surya Namaskara slowly without feeling tired (fatigue) or
panting and puffing; changing the feet every time, it must be
performed on each of the feet successively.

In Hindu mythology, the sun god is worshipped as a symbol of


health and immortal life. The Rig Veda declares that "Surya is the
Soul, both of the moving and unmoving beings". The Sun Salutation
originated as a series of prostrations to the sun. Traditionally, it is
performed at dawn, facing the rising sun. In time, each of the
twelve positions came to have its own mantra, celebrating aspects
of the sun's divinity.

VERTIGO

Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness and spinning felt by a person.


It can sometimes be mild and cause slight dizziness, but it can
sometimes hinder a person in carrying out daily activities. One
of the persistent and specific vertigo causes is the failure of the
inner ear to get sufficient blood. Although medication can
provide a cure, it will be better for you to first try some vertigo
exercises. Some effective yoga asanas you can practice for
vertigo are Malasana (Garland Pose), Halasana (Plough Pose)
and Savasana (Corpse Pose). However, before you practice the
yoga and vertigo exercises make sure to consult a doctor.

FROZEN SHOULDER
Frozen shoulder is a condition in which there is the

by restoring full range of motion and shoulder functions. Yoga
brings about slow and easy stretching movements, which can
bring your focus to your body. Some of the effective yoga asanas
for frozen shoulder are shoulder exercises and variations and
parvatasana (Mountain Pose). Make sure that you practice the
postures in a gentle way and not stress it too much practice
fallowed by acupressure points which will help a lot for frozen
shoulder
IMPROVE THE CONCENTRATION
AND MEMORY
The 1st Practice of yoga for vitality and for self realization can
give you an entirely different approach towards improve the
memory. Many people wrongly believe that yoga practice
requires rigorous abstinence, but this is not true it can help to
regulate the flow of blood to the brain region and abdomen and
keep the full body healthy and improve the health of the all the
glands and nervous system but much before that we need to
treat for our Digestive system. So now question arise. How to
improve digestion system we have a solution below

Practicing yoga for digestive problems has brought about relief


to the symptoms that are associated with problems of digestion
like indigestion and gas. Yoga helps increase the flow of blood to
the digestive tract. The effects that are calming help relax the
body and bring relief to the digestive problems. Some of the
effective poses of yoga for digestive disorders are Ardha
Matsyendrasana (Half Spinal Twist) and Bhujangasana (Cobra
Pose). Yoga for digestion treatment also includes the practice of
some breathing exercises. Pranayama (Alternate Nostril
Breathing) is an effective breathing exercise you can try. It is
also important that you maintain a proper diet while practicing
yoga to enhance the benefits

Yoga for Digestive Disorders show how emotions increase


gastritis and Yoga therapy shows how to deal with them. When a
person is emotionally excited, there is intense activity triggered
off in the limbic area of the persons brain. From there are
transmitted messages down to hypothalamus. This is the
controller of the stress orchestra. From there the excitation goes
down the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
The parasympathetic system triggers off production of
hydrochloric acid. This is done through release of a local
hormone from the lower end of your stomach. The
parasympathetic system also directly stimulates the acid
producing oxyntic cells in the lining of your stomach.
Yoga for Digestive Disorders postulates that the excitement that
is transmitted down the sympathetic channel narrows down the
blood vessels in the stomach lining. This gives rise to lowered
production of both the quantity and quality in mucus. As a result
of this lowered blood flow the capability to repair and restore
damaged lining cells also gets decelerated. Further, when a
person is stressed, it is well known that his or her immune
system is incompetent to handle the germs of the region. This
incapacity of the immune system, the white blood corpuscles, in
the lining of the stomach to kill the germs gives the germs the
upper hand. As a result, they are able to easily penetrate the
stomach lining and enjoy their meal from deeper layers of the
persons stomach!
Now you are able to see how each one of the guardians' grows
weaker as a result of the old unrestrained emotions. This is all
the result of Stress. All this is basically the result of our life style.
It is the result of the wishy-washy quest for more and more
wealth, name, fame or position and status in society. As a result,
over time it further leads to aggressive behavior, drinking,
smoking, so on and so forth. Hence, stressfully demanding
situations give rise to long standing emotional upsurges. They,
in turn, result in an imbalance between aggressors and
protectors. This, subsequently, results in the aggressors getting
the upper hand and damaging the stomach lining.

contain further information to help distinguish near and where
two is the window over which the center of mass is
calculated- for claps; the main in objective here is likely to be
that distant claps related with the each individuals is different.
We use to do this simply have a higher initial energy (and
hence lower ratio compared to the preceding background of
sugar levels in the body) then the very intense near-field the
characteristics of the initial clap burst, and the first part of the

Claps and continuity reverberant (and how it balances the


energy of the initial burst).will help a lot to us

For those who have a sugar levels high & two values are
calculated for the signal in each of three frequencies and we
have done it for more people very often they have given the
very good result in the managing the sugar level and
controlling the Diabetes. I advise all of you can do this clapping

Mudras
MUDRAS ARE HAND GESTURES AND FINGER POSTURES.
MUDRA IS THE SCIENCE OF HAND AND FINGER POSTURES. IT
CAN HELP TO CURE BODILY AILMENTS IN A WONDERFUL

(PANCH-TATTVAS) IN THE HUMAN SYSTEM TO THEIR
OPTIMAL LEVELS.

HASTA MUDRA
The body is made up of 5 elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air and
Space. When these 5 elements are not in balance we get various
physical and psychological ailments. The energy from the body
radiates out mainly through the tip of the nose, lips, finger tips
and toes. When the thumb gets in contact with the other
fingers, energy is directed back to vitalise various parts of our
body. This is called as circuit bypass. Mudras and Bandas go
hand in hand. Banda help

in locking in the energy and whereas mudras help in


redirecting the energy. In our puranas, we see our Gods and
Goddesses expressing in different Mudra. Mudras are the
expression of our

inner feeling. In the Tantra shastra Mudra is defined as the one


which gives happiness. Mudras are part of Yoga and it is also
called as Yo ga Mudra. Mudras done using hands are halled
Hasta Mudra.

The 5 fingers rep resant 5 elements (tatvas):

Thumb: Fire Index Finger: Air Middle finger: Space


Ring Finger: Earth Small finger: Water

Fire element is the important one and when fire element goes
weak,

Various ailments come to the body and death sets in when the
fire element dies.

Joining the fire element (thumb) with other elements (other


fingers) vitalizes the other elements also.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

respective tatvas gets balanced in the body.

respective tatvas gets increased in the body.

3. When the tip of the fingers brought to the base of the thumb,
respective tatvas gets reduced in the body.

10. If the Prana mudra, Apana mudra, Janan mudra and Pritvi
mudra done every day for 5-15 minutes, ones

health improves significantly.

improves the mental health by reducing the anger,

increasing the peace and releasing one from the addictions.

improves.

All these Mudras are used for treating various ailments

Do the following mudras for about 50 minutes a day to


overcome a particular problem and stop doing once the
problem is solved. For getting the better results, mudras should
be followed with a Prana mudra

For good sleep : Jnana mudra followed by Prana mudra

ACUPRESSURETHERAPY

Acupressure is an ancient healing art using the fingers to


gradually press key healing points, which stimulate the body's
natural self-curative abilities. Acupressure was developed in
Asia over 5,000 years ago. Using the power and sensitivity of the
hand, Acupressure Therapy is effective in the relief the related
ailments, and is ideal for self-treatment and preventive health
care for the Immune system boosting the immune system

The Benefits of Acupressure system are:

Acupressure releases & healing touch reduces muscular


tension
Increases circulation Reduces pain Reduces Stress
Strengthens resistance Balancing body energy

It is self-care applications It is for a specific conditions
It also helps for addiction recovery It also helps for
learning disorders Emotional imbalances And develops
spirituality and vibrant with maintaining good health and
overall health developments it cures disease and promotes
wellness
Acupressure uses the same pressure points and meridians also
but Acupuncture employs needles, while Acupressure uses
gentle to firm finger pressure. When these acupressure points
are stimulated, they release muscular tension, promote
circulation of blood, and enhance the body's life force energy to
aid healing. Acupressure therapy can be used to relieve pain,
fortify the sexual reproductive system, detoxify the body for
greater health and beauty, and tone facial and back muscles.

WAYS TO USE ACUPRESSURE

Acupressure Therapy is highly effective for relieving muscular


tension in all areas of the back. Important points are located
along either side of the spine and on the upper back

The Steps for self-backcare lie down on a couple of tennis balls


tied in a sock. Many people especially appreciate the release of
tightness associated with lower back pain and sciatica.

Acupressure, Reflexology, Massage, and self-acupressure for


relieving back pain can also be an effective

By relaxing and toning the back muscles, Acupressure makes the


spinal adjustments easier and more effective,

Healing Emotional Pain Long known for its ability to alleviate


physical pain, the ancient healing art of Acupressure can also
relieve emotional pain. From day-to-day pressures to life's most
significant trials, emotional stress causes the body to shut down,
which keeps negative feelings stuck, resulting in physical
ailments and emotional imbalances. Acupressure techniques
release this muscular tension and restore the flow of vital
energy, making resolution possible.

Acupressure relaxes the tight muscles that result from


emotional stress and trauma, which cause the body to contract
its muscles and harden, like protective armor, to shield your
inner self. For instance, when something frightens you, or
someone uptight treats you abrasively, your neck and shoulders
may tighten immediately in response. This tension prevents
energy from circulating freely in your body, which can lead to
various physical and emotional imbalances. If you do not deal
with these tensions and resulting afflictions, emotional
problems may stay buried, and then resurface at a later time,
when they're triggered by some new stress. Most therapies
address the cognitive and emotional aspects of trauma, but do
not get to the physiological source. Acupressure has an
advantage in that it works directly with the body to relieve
physical ailments, muscular tension, and the emotional
imbalances associated with them. Emotional imbalances and the
physical symptoms that accompany them are often the body's
response to unresolved issues and events. Someone who
witnessed a fatal automobile accident, or an abusive incident,
may live with the memory in the form of recurring nightmares
and insomnia or other psychosomatic ailments. If left untreated,
they can continue for years. Using acupressure points for today's
tension headache, caused by a conflict at work or an argument
over homework with one's teenager, may bring old conflicts or
memories to the surface during an acupressure session or
afterward. Becoming conscious of old memories and bringing
them out in the open can lessen their impact.

ACUPRESSURE ENERGY HEALING


WORKS
Acupressure Points have a high electrical conductivity at the
surface of the skin, and thus conduct and channel healing energy
most effectively works and RYMT fallows

The 12 Meridians of Traditional Medicine are the body's


healing energy pathways. Meridian massage therapy moves this
life energy through the meridians to improve flow and balance.
Acupressure charts and Acupuncture charts show where the
meridian lines are on the body. The points are where vital
energy gets blocked on the meridians, and where you can most
effectively release the resulting tension, numbness, or pain. As
healing energy flows through the meridians, it governs blood
circulation and harmonizes all functions of the body.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Overall there is only preliminary evidence to suggest


acupuncture points exist.
A 1997 NIH consensus statement has observed that "Despite
considerable efforts to understand the anatomy and physiology
of the 'acupuncture points', the definition and characterization
of these points remains controversial.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency
of the United Nations (UN) that is concerned with
international public health. It was established on 7 April 1948,
with its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. WHO is a member
of the United Nations Development Group. Its predecessor,
the Health Organization, was an agency of the League of Nations.
Points

Acupressure points are hypothetical locations on the body used


for treatment in acupressure treatment systems akin to more
than 400 acupuncture points have been described with the
majority located on one of the main meridians, hypothetical
pathways over and within the body that channels. Points also
exist that are not on meridians and are referred to as 'extra
points'. There is no known or commonly
agreed anatomical or histological basis for the existence of
acupuncture points or meridians
In East Asian countries practitioners commonly refer to
acupuncture points by their traditional names. Some points
have several names. When acupuncture was adopted in the
western world a standard nomenclature was developed to
unambiguously identify the acupuncture points on meridians.
This model achieved wide acceptance and today virtually every
book on acupuncture refers to acupuncture points using it. Each
acupuncture point is identified by the meridian on which it is
located
Kidney Meridian
Meridians and acupressure points
M distinguishes not only one but several different kinds of. In a
general sense, it is something that is defined by five "cardinal
functions":
all physical processes in the body, especially the circulation
of all body fluids such as blood in their vessels. This includes
actuation of the functions of the meridians.
Warming the body, especially the limbs.
Containment of body fluids, i.e. keeping blood, sweat, urine,
semen etc. from leakage or excessive emission.
Transformationof food, drink, & breath into (blood), &
"fluids" of all other particles into other nutrients
To fulfill its functions, has to steadily flow from the inside of the
body to the "superficial" body tissues of the skin, muscles,
tendons, bones, and joints. It is assisted in its flow by "channels"
referred to as meridians 12 "regular" and 8 "extraordinary"
meridians; "the Twelve Vessels" respectively. There's also a
number of less customary channels branching off from the
"regular" meridians. Contemporary research has not supported
the existence of meridians. The meridians are believed to
connect to the bodily organs, of which those considered hollow
organs (such as the stomach and intestines) were also
considered yang while those considered solid (such as the liver
and lungs) were considered yin. They were also symbolically
linked to the rivers found in ancient
Acupressure points are mainly (but not always) found at
specified locations along the meridians. There also is a number
of acupuncture points with specified locations outside of the
meridians; these are called "extraordinary" points and often
credited with special therapeutic properties. A third category of
acupuncture points called "A-shi" points have no fixed location
but represent tender or reflexive points appearing in the course
of pain syndromes. The actual number of points have varied
considerably over time, initially they were considered to
number 365, symbolically aligning with the number of days in
the year (and in times, the number of bones thought to be in the
body)
RYMT MECHANISM

The Reflexology and its mechanism as a philosophical


methodology
"A natural healing art based on the principle that there are
reflexes in the feet, hands and ears and their referral areas
within zone related areas, which correspond to every part, gland
and organ of the body. Through application of pressure on these
reflexes without the use of tools, crmes or lotions, the feet
being the primary area of application, reflexology relieves
tension, improves circulation and helps promote the natural
function of the related areas of the body.
Personal development includes activities that improve
awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build
human capital and facilitate employability, enhance quality of
life and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations.
The concept is not limited to self-help but includes formal and
informal activities for developing others in roles such as teacher,
guide, counselor, manager, life coach or mentor. When personal
development takes place in the context of institutions, it refers
to the methods, programs, tools, techniques, and assessment
systems that support human development at the individual level
in organizations.
The concept covers a wider field than self-development or self-
help: personal development also includes developing other
people. This may take place through roles such as those of a
teacher or mentor, either through a personal competency
Beyond improving oneself and developing others, personal
development is a field of practice and research. As a field of
practice it includes personal development methods, learning
programs, assessment systems, tools and techniques. As a field
of research, personal development topics increasingly appear in
scientific mechanism for higher education and for self
knowledge
Areas

Areas of the human hand include:


The palm, which is the central region of the anterior part of
the hand, located superficially to the metacarpus. The skin in
this area contains dermal papillae to increase friction, such as
are also present on the fingers and used for fingerprints.
The opisthenar area is the corresponding area on the
posterior part of the hand.
The heel of the hand is the area anteriorly to the bases of the
metacarpal bones, located in the proximal part of the palm. It is
the area that sustains most pressure when using the palm of the
hand for support, such as in handstand.
There are five digits attached to the hand. The four fingers can
be folded over the palm which allows the grasping of objects.
Each finger, starting with the one closest to the thumb, has a
colloquial name to distinguish it from the others:
index finger, pointer finger, or forefinger
middle finger or long finger
ring finger
little finger, pinky finger, or small finger.
The thumb connected to Brain is located on one of the sides,
parallel to the arm. A reliable way of identifying true hands is
from the presence of opposable thumbs. Opposable thumbs are
identified by the ability to be brought opposite to the fingers, a
muscle action known as opposition.
REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology, or zone therapy, is an alternative


medicine involving the physical act of applying pressure to the
feet, hands, or ears with specific thumb, finger, and hand
techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on what
reflexologists claim to be a system of zones and reflex areas that
they say reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with
the premise that such work effects a physical change to the
body concludes that

"The best evidence available to date does not demonstrate


convincingly that reflexology is an effective treatment for any
medical condition.

There is no consensus among reflexologists on how reflexology


is supposed to work; a unifying theme is the idea that areas on
the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by
manipulating these one can improve health through one's.
Reflexologists divide the body into ten equal vertical zones, five
on the right and five on the left.Concerns have been raised by
medical professionals that treating potentially serious illnesses
with reflexology, which has no proven efficacy, could delay the
seeking of appropriate medical treatment.[

RYMT Health implications

There are risks and benefits associated with going barefoot.


While footwear provides some protection from puncture
wounds from glass, nails, rocks, or thorns as well as abrasions,
bruises, and, studies of people who habitually walk barefoot
have consistently found that these problems are minimal, with
only about 0.89% of barefoot people having any kind of foot
complaint which could be linked to walking barefoot (including
temporary conditions such as abrasions) or having the tops of
the feet uncovered. Feet that have never worn shoes never
exhibit problems such as bunions, corns, as well as having a
much reduced incidence of problems
Reflexology theory alleges that reflex points on the foot, hand or
ear correspond to areas of the body and/or organs. Charts with
organs superimposed on the foot, hand or ear allege to map
these points. This monograph refers only to foot reflexology, but
can be used to infer to all types. Using the chart as a guide, the
practitioner probes the theorized reflex points and questions
the client. (The chart does not indicate specific diseases or
diagnoses but the supposed location of he problem. a differential
diagnosis of a specific disease, but the location of a disease.)
Instructions from a "how to" manual tells the reflexologist what
to do as her/she probes the foot:
Look for constrictions, or the places where the person feels pain
or says 'ouch'; check the accompanying charts to determine
what body part corresponds to the sore part of the foot. Tell
your friend that he either has a problem in that organ or a
strong potential for one
Thus, if something is found at an alleged reflex point it is "proof"
that the system is valid; if nothing is found, the system still is
purported to be valid because it predicts future problems. This
method represents a no-fail "heads I win, tails you lose"
proposition. As obvious as this may be to an objective observer,
it is not apparent to practitioners or clients who have been
impressed by the system's seeming validity on a personal
experience level.
A similar rationale is employed by iridologists who superimpose
organs on the iris, and auricular acupuncturists who
superimposed body organs on the ear (a homunculus in the fatal
position). The methodology is similar in all of these.
Location of the reflex areas of the heart, solar plexus, pituitary
gland and spine

Location
Located in the area of the solar plexus, navel, and the digestive
system, the fiery third chakra is called Manipura, the
"resplendent gem." Associated with the color yellow, this chakra
is involved in self-esteem, warrior energy, and the power of
transformation; it also governs digestion and metabolism. A
healthy spirited third chakra helps overcome inertia and jump-
starts a "get-up-and-go" attitude so it is easier to take risks,
assert one's will, and assume responsibility for one's life. This
chakra is also the location of deep belly laughter, warmth, ease,
and the vitality received from performing selfless service
Appearance
Manipura is represented by a downward pointing red triangle,
the fire region, within a bright yellow circle, with 10 dark-blue
or black petals like heavily laden rain clouds. The triangle has a
t-shaped swastika on each of its sides. The fire region is
represented by the god Vahni, who is shining red, has four arms,
holds a rosary and a spear, and is making the gestures of
granting boons and dispelling fear. He is seated on a ram, the
animal that represents this chakra.

SOLAR PLEXUS

"Solar plexus" redirects here. For the solar plexus chakra in


mysticism and Hinduism, Manipura. For the compilation album,

Solar Plexus (album).

The celiac plexus or coeliac plexus, also known as the solar


plexus because of its radiating nerve fibers,[1] is a complex
network of nerves (aplexus) located in the abdomen, where
the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and renal
arteries branch from the abdominal aorta. It is behind
the stomach and the omental bursa, and in front of the crura of
the diaphragm, on the level of the first lumbar vertebra.
The plexus is formed (in part) by the greater and
lesser splanchnic nerves of both sides, and also parts of the
right vagus nerve.
The celiac plexus proper consists of the celiac ganglia with a
network of interconnecting fibers. The aorticorenal ganglia are
often considered to be part of the celiac ganglia, and thus, part of
the plexus, related plexuses
FUNCTION

Manipura is considered the center of dynamism, energy, will


power and achievement which radiates prana throughout the
entire human body. It is associated with the power of fire and
digestion, as well as with the sense of sight and the action of
movement. Manipura is "the center of etheric-psychic intuition:
a vague or non-specific, sensual sense of knowing; a vague sense
of size, shape, and intent of being." As such, some psychics
recommend "listening" to it since it may help in making better
decisions in one's life on many different levels.
Through meditating on Manipura, one is said to attain the
siddhi, or occult power, to create, destroy or save the world.
The plexus includes a number of smaller plexuses:

Hepatic plexus
Splenic plexus
Gastric plexus
Pancreatic plexus
Suprarenal plexus
Other plexuses that are derived from the celiac plexus:
Renal plexus
Testicular plexus / ovarian plexus
Superior mesenteric plexus
This chakra is often confused with the navel chakra, and
most writers refer to only a single chakra, located either at
the navel or the solar plexus. However, these two centres
are quite distinct
The Solar Plexus Chakra is located midway between the
navel and the base of the sternum. It supports the spleen,
pancreas, stomach, and liver. Each of these vital organs in
addition is associated with its own chakra, just as the
heart, lungs, and kidneys are.
The Solar Plexus Centre is one of the main power chakras
of the individual. It is associated with the functioning of
the aura or psychic energy field, and with Etheric and
Astral plane sensitivity. Through this centre, which seems
to correspond in part to the "Spleen Centre" of Theosophy,
the various spiritual energies enter for distribution to
various parts of the body. The Solar Plexus Chakra is also
the centre of etheric-psychic intuition: a vague or non-
specific, sensual sense of knowing; a vague sense of size,
shape, and intent of being
This chakra is sometimes described as yellow in colour,
although it would be more accurate to consider it as
orange or yellow-orange. In the traditional "rainbow
chakra" theory, the Solar Plexus chakra is generally
described as yellow in colour. Because yellow is also the
colour of the Lower Mental Body and the Higher Spiritual
Intuition, some writers refer to this as a "mental chakra"
or associate it with rational-intellectual faculties. This is
quite incorrect. The Solar Plexus Chakra - like the Heart
Chakra above it and the Navel Chakra below it - is a purely
Emotional Centre.
Element: Traditional Chinese (associated organs: Liver &
Spleen) - Wood, Earth
Colours: Traditional Chinese (associated organs) -
Blue/Green, Yellow; Hills - Yellow.
Open and Balanced You have a deeply fulfilling emotional
life. You take an expansive, outgoing, and sociable attitude
to the world. You are able to feel the sweetness of life, and
have a sense of belonging and fitting in perfectly in the
universe. You feel daring and confident and able to take
risks. Hence this is the chakra associated with the leader,
the explorer, and the charismatic extrovertive individual.
PITUITARY GLAND

Located at the base of the brain the pituitary gland is procted


by a bony structure called the sellaturica of the sphenoid
bone.
In vertebrate anatomy, the pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is
an endocrine gland about the size of a pea and weighing 0.5
grams (0.018 oz) in humans. It is a protrusion off the bottom of
the hypothalamus at the base of the brain, and rests in a small,
bony cavity (sellaturcica) covered by a dural fold
(diaphragmasellae). The pituitary gland is functionally
connected to the hypothalamus by the median eminence via a
small tube called the infundibular stem (Pituitary stalk). The
pituitary fossa, in which the pituitary gland sits, is situated in
the sphenoid bone in the middle cranial fossa at the base of the
brain. The pituitary gland secretes nine hormones that
regulate homeostasis.
The human brain has the same general structure as
the brains of other mammals, but is larger than any other in
relation to body size. Large animals such as whales and
elephants have larger brains in absolute terms, but when
measured using the encephalization quotient which
compensates for body size, the human brain is almost twice as
large as the brain of the bottlenose dolphin, and three times as
large as the brain of a chimpanzee. Much of the expansion comes
from the part of the brain called the cerebral cortex, especially
the frontal lobes, which are associated with executive
functions such as self-control, planning, reasoning, and abstract
thought. The portion of the cerebral cortex devoted to vision is
also greatly enlarged in humans.
The human cerebral cortex is a thick layer of neural tissue that
covers most of the brain. This layer is folded in a way that
increases the amount of surface that can fit into the volume
available. The pattern of folds is similar across individuals,
although there are many small variations. The cortex is divided
into four "lobes", called the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal
lobe, and occipital lobe. (Some classification systems also
include a limbic lobe and treat the insular cortex as a lobe.)
Within each lobe are numerous cortical areas, each associated
with a particular function such as vision, motor control,
language, etc. The left and right sides of the cortex are broadly
similar in shape, and most cortical areas are replicated on both
sides. Some areas, though, show strong lateralization,
particularly areas that are involved in language. In most people,
the left hemisphere is "dominant" for language, with the right
hemisphere playing only a minor role. There are other functions,
such as spatiotemporal reasoning, for which the right
hemisphere is usually dominant.
Despite being protected by the thick bones of the skull,
suspended in cerebrospinal fluid, and isolated from the
bloodstream by the bloodbrain barrier, the human brain is
susceptible to damage and disease. The most common forms of
physical damage are closed head injuries such as a blow to
the head, a stroke, or poisoning by a variety of chemicals that
can act as neurotoxins. Infection of the brain, though serious, is
rare due to the biological barriers which protect it. The human
brain is also susceptible to degenerative disorders, such
as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's
disease. A number of psychiatric conditions, such as depression,
are thought to be associated with brain dysfunctions, although
the nature of such brain anomalies is not well understood.
Scientifically, the techniques that are used to study the human
brain differ in important ways from those that are used to study
the brains. On the one hand, invasive techniques such as
inserting electrodes into the brain, or disabling parts of the
brain. On the other hand, humans are the only subjects who can
respond to complex verbal instructions with this we can treat
any diseases on daily basis we need to practice all these
acupressure points fallowed by yoga pranayama and diet
management
PANCHA KOSHAS

What are pancha kosha yoga?

Pancha Kosha Yoga, also referred to as Pancha Kosha


Meditation, is a style of yoga that was developed in the ancient
ara. The Pancha Koshas are commonly referred to, as the five
hierarchal levels of energy in the body. Pancha kosha yoga is a
certain discipline or a method of Yoga, which is based on the
ancient texts of Indian philosophy. The word pancha stands for
Five and the word Kosha means sheath or shell. Therefore,
pancha kosha means five sheaths of the human body. Our body
consist of all these the five sheaths or the pancha kosha are:

Annamaya Kosha or the Food Sheath

Pranamaya Kosha or the Energy Sheath

Manomaya Kosha or the Mental Sheath

Vijnyanamaya Kosha or the Intellectual Sheath

Anandamaya Kosha or Bliss Sheath

In the panchakosha discipline of yoga, each of the 5 koshas


represents a different aspect of the Brahma or the Self. Given
below is an explanation of the pancha prana or the five types of
energy that are a part of kosha yoga:

Annamaya Kosha

Anna stands for food and therefore the first level of Kosha yoga
is based on the consideration that the human body is filled with
food. Therefore, Annamaya Kosha is a representation of the
gross physical body. This sheath is regarded as the medium of
enjoyment for gross objects through the physical senses.
According to this belief, all living beings in this world are born
from food and remain alive by the consumption of food. In fact
even after death, the body can be consumed as food by animals,
insects or other beings. However, our physical health depends
significantly on the foods that we eat and therefore, a diet that a
person follows can be used to determine his or her nature. Food
is also regarded as a medicine, as it can help improve a persons
overall health. Therefore, this level touts the benefits of a yogic
diet, through which, one can easily cure this kosha as well as the
disorders that are related to a diet.

Pranamaya Kosha

Prana is the life or the force behind movement, which can also
be described as the binding force of the universe. It is said that
all birth and death in the universe are a result of prana.
Therefore pranamaya kosha is filled with the essential forces
that represent the subtle body, chakra, nadis and kundalini. This
sheath can be further divided into five forces, which include
prana, apana, vyana, udana as well as samana, along with their
organs of action. Nature-wise, this sheath is active, as it is the
result of rajas gunas. The pranamaya kosha controls the
annamaya kosha. The human body is filled with life and for the
proper assimilation of food, the prana is important. The pattern
of diseases affecting a certain human body can be influenced by
this kosha. With the help of prana, a person can control the
speed at which life or energy flows through his body. Therefore,
people could have the ability to control their metabolism, by
practicing pranamaya kosha.

Manomaya Kosha

This sheath deals with the emotional, mental or perceptual part


of the body, which comprises not just the mind, but also the
organs within the body. The Manomaya kosha influences the
Prana Kosha and channels the ways we think. When prana or
life and anna or food, operate together, mana or the awareness
does not really exist, because we do not think or feel anything
else. The thoughts that originate within the body during the first
sheaths can manifest themselves in the form of a disease that
affects the body. All the diseases that involve the manomaya
kosha can be treated by the yogangas that have been prescribed
through ashtanga yoga.
VIJNYANAMAYA KOSHA

This sheath represents the intelligence or the conscious human


mind. Vijnyanamaya Kosha is formed when a persons ignorance
extends further. Vijnyana represents the mind, skill and all the
intelligence behind human work.

Anandamaya Kosha

Ananda refers to the pleasure or the happiness that a human can


experience from any channel. Hence, the anandmaya kosha can
be described as the transcendental body or the blissful body
which in turn consists of the casual body of the Brahma. Since
the self is the cause of all things, everything gets dissolved into
it. Things are born, they grow and then they eventually die all
because of ananda. This shows that ananda is the root of all
human life. Hence, ananda is the incarnation or a form of the
Brahma. This bliss or ananda comes from the Brahma. It is our
ignorance that covers the bliss, just like how the skin covers the
body. This is one of the koshas that is not bound by either time
or space.

Yoga veterans recommend that pancha kosha yoga or the five


sheaths should be activated in equal parts. The best way to
practice these 5 koshas is in a 100 minute session, that is
conducted by a yoga teacher or guru, who has a certified in
teaching

Although the practice of each of the 5 koshas in yoga have their


own benefits and advantages, it is best to check with a doctor
before practicing pancha kosha meditation. This is more
important for people who are suffering from any preexisting
medical condition.

The Five Koshas in Yoga Therapy

The previous two pages have dealt with the basics of yoga
therapy and the concept of tri-sharira. However, for further
understanding and, more importantly, application of the
therapy, there is one more thing one has to understand. A full
grasp of this concept will enable to both understand and derive
the best results of yoga therapy.

Yoga, contrary to other subjects and therapies, delves deep into


the essence of the subject, be it general betterment or specific
healing. Hence the understanding of the concept of Tridoshas
and Tri-shariras. Going one step further, these three shariras or
bodies are encased in five sheaths called the pancha koshas,
pancha meaning five.

This model describes the human being as multidimensional,


with the source and foundation in a spiritual dimension. By
using Pancha Kosha viveka (understanding of the concept of the
five koshas), Yoga Therapy addresses every level of a human
being.

1. Annamaya Kosha (Food Sheath)

As the name itself suggests, the first level to take into


consideration is the physical body that subsists on gross
food and drink. That includes the body and its physiological
processes, as viewed from a Western perspective. From the
Indian perspective, the human anatomy is viewed via the
ayurvedic tridoshas. These describe both the overall body
type of the individual as well as its current condition.

2. Pranamaya Kosha (Pranic or Energy Sheath)

The human being is an intricate network of energy,


creativity and intelligence. Hence the need for a proper flow
of energy to maintain good health. The Pranic or Energy
Sheath, contains all the prana vayus (breaths of energy) in
the system, the energy channels or nadis and the chakras or
energy centers. Hence it is also called the "vital sheath" or
"vital body". Prana, the vital breath which man lives by, is
the bridge between the gross and subtle bodies as well as
between the other koshas. Amending ones breathing
patterns through pranayama, helps enhance the flow of
energy in the right direction.

3. Manomaya Kosha (Mental or psycho-emotional Sheath)

The third is the Mental or, here understood as the psycho-


emotional sheath. It is the abode of all the dominant
emotional and thought patterns that comprise ones
personality. Our feelings, stimuli and responses to
situations, thoughts and actions spring from this sheath.
The strength or weakness of this sheath decides whether a
person is emotional or unemotional, easily or uneasily
moved, gross or sensitive.

4. Vijnyanamaya Kosha (Intellectual Sheath)

Then comes the fourth sheath, again the Mental, but here
referred to as the Intellectual sheath. Whereas at the third
level, the mind functions as a stimulus/response
mechanism, in the fourth sheath, one is able to understand
and discern. Further, personal understanding permits us to
look beyond personal roles and perceive the larger picture.
This is the level of cognition, conditioning or de-
conditioning of ones core beliefs, the most deeply rooted of
which is the I concept. In Sanskrit this is referred to as the
aham, from which springs the word ahamkara. Little
wonder then that this is the seat of the ego.

5. Anandamaya Kosha (Bliss Sheath)

The fifth level is least easily understood, but for reasons of


explanation to the lay public is referred to as the sheath of
bliss. Here the minds is said to rest in its intrinsic, natural
state of bliss and ease. This is of vital understanding in
relation healing since it refers to ones health as essential
nature, devoid of chitta-vrittis or confusions and
distractions.

How the Five Koshas are affected


1. Annamaya Kosha

The physical body has been bestowed with, besides other


things, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems to
cope with stress situations. Roughly translated into
Western terminology this refers to the glandular system in
our bodies. In any emergency situation, the sympathetic
system is automatically activated, ensuring a quick and
spontaneous flow of essential fluids to cope with the
situation. When the stress response is engaged normally
and healthily, the body adapts to stress situations with a
steadily elevated blood pressure.

Subsequently, it is the duty of the parasympathetic system


to pull the sympathetic back to its original state.
Unfortunately, down the years, and particularly in modern
days, the frequency and intensity of stress situations have
grown so much that the organs involved are subject to
abnormal pressures. The parasympathetic system, after a
while, can no longer bring its sympathetic counterpart back
to normal and hence a failure in the endocrine and other
vital systems of the body, leading to such psychosomatic
syndromes as asthma, chronic constipation, blood pressure,
high cholesterol, etc eventually resulting, in heart disease
even.

2. Pranamaya Kosha

The spasmodic dilations and contractions in the organs,


veins and arteries of the physical body are a direct reflex
response to cope with changing situations. This is what is
happening in the energy body as well. In stress situations,
the breath becomes short and rapid and, subsequently, the
flow of energy is restricted. Over time, the breath becomes
stifled, one starts to suffer from palpitation and shortness
of the breath. Without being really aware of whats
happening, there is a rapid contraction and expansion in
the entire energetic sheath. While, this may be helpful in
emergencies, imagine what it will do to the system in the
long run. Result, psychosomatic diseases like asthma.
3. Manomaya Kosha

Actually, it happens both ways and here theres no telling


which came first, the chicken or the egg. Emotional upsets
and disturbances send out stimuli to the other sheaths.
Subsequently, dilations and contractions in the Annamaya
and Pranamaya Koshas happen. But, in actual fact they start
at the mental level. Over time it becomes a chronic
syndrome. Love, hate, resentment, ambition, competition
and hostility are only some of the characterizations.

While in genuine situations, these emotions may be


considered healthy response and create the necessary
backups and reinforcements for survival, what happens
when they become chronic and repetitive are translated
into states of anguish, anxiety and depression.
Subsequently, they perpetuate the physical stress response
and man falls into the vicious cycle of coping with habitual
stress. Extricating oneself from this is a trying and,
sometimes, impossible process.

4. Vijnanamaya Kosha

This is best illustrated in the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2,


verses 62 and 63: Man first contemplates on an object of
desire. That develops in the mind attachment to it. From
this attachment springs desire. Failure to satisfy desire
leads to frustration. From frustration comes anger, leading
to delusion. Continuous delusion results in loss of memory,
resulting in destruction in the intellect. When the intellect
is destroyed, everything is lost.

5. Anandamaya Kosha

The above situation is precisely what prevents man from


reaching his natural state of bliss. A constant state of being
opposed to bliss is frustration, anger, disappointment and
their attendant psycho-physiological strains, resulting in
afflictions of the mind-body syndrome
RYMT YOGIC THERAPY

Yoga-chikitsa (Sanskrit) or Yoga Therapy has never been very


easy to define, largely owing to the depth and breadth of the
subject. And yet, simply stated, Yoga Therapy could be called a
system of health care that helps treat human indispositions as
naturally as possible, to alleviate pain and suffering through set
of exercises, both physical and mental. Ideally, yoga therapy is
preventive in nature, as is Yoga itself while being curative in
many instances, soothing in others, and restorative in most.
Yoga therapy is of modern denomination and represents mans
first attempt to combine age-old concepts and techniques with
contemporary medical and psychological know-how. So, where
traditional Yoga was primarily concerned with spiritual
transcendence, yoga therapy aims at holistic treatment of a
variety of psychological or psychosomatic disorders ranging
from sinusitis and asthma to emotional distress.

The golden rule in achieving optimum results through yoga is


regularity and punctuality, for only abhyasa, regular practice can
produce desired results. Over a period of time, it helps reduce
illnesses, increase vitality and vigor, restore balance, and
enhance attitude to life. Which is also why yoga therapists
prescribe specific regimens to suit individual needs? Our
research has conclusively proven the effectiveness of yoga
therapy in healing psychosomatic and stress-related conditions.
This is done by bridging the gap between body and mind,
ranging across the entire spectrum from physical to emotional
to mental. For optimum benefits, yoga therapy should be
coupled with a balanced diet, Naturopathy, Ayurveda and
Aromatherapy. Acupressure. The five sheaths yoga are

The mind-body complex is made of a combination of 19


elements. The 19 elements can be grouped functionally into five
divisions known as the five sheaths or pancha kosha. The five
sheaths are annamaya kosa (Physical Body), pranamaya kosa
(Energy Body), manomaya kosa (Astral Body), vignanamaya
kosa (Mental Body) and anandamaya kosa (Casual Body). You
should note that the anandamaya and annamaya is common to
humans and animals. However, the thing that makes humans
unique is the power of knowledge, power to act, and power of
desire. Therefore, vijnanamaya, manomaya and vijnanamaya
kosa are unique to human beings. Pranayama is a method of
controlling life force or prana by regulating the breathing.

The principles RYMT Yogic Therapy

Yoga holds that a persons health condition depends on himself.


It lays emphasis on physical, mental and emotional balance and
development of a sense of harmony with all of life. Theres
nothing mystical about it. Nor is it external. Rather it is an inner
faculty. Yoga endeavors to re-establish inner balance through a
variety of ways, ranging from the gross to the subtle. Which is
why it is considered a holistic art.

Rather than prescribe treatments, yoga therapy encourages


awareness. Through age-old yogic techniques, we get to know
ourselves better. From that knowledge, comes the ability to
more easily accept and adapt to change, resulting in enhanced
well-being in body, mind, heart and spirit. Hence its applicability
to almost all chronic conditions.

The modern medical science that tries to identify the pathogenic


factor (be it a toxic substance, a micro-organism, or metabolic
disorder) then eliminate it, RYMT takes a totally different point
of view. It holds that if a person is sick there must be a deeper
reason behind it that illness doesnt arise by chance. It is the
result of an imbalance, a disruption in the body-mind complex
that creates the condition. Here the symptoms, the pathogenic
factors, are not the issue. We believes that the root cause lies
somewhere else.

The RYMT fallows six steps of Yoga for overall well being:

Right Posture Yoga Asanas

A set of postures that tone up the muscles and internal organs,


revitalize the system, create overall awareness of the body and
its function and help tranquilize the mind. they also energizes
and stimulates the bodys major endocrine glands. And by
toning up the internal organs, they also prevent and cure many
an illness.

Right Breathing Pranayama

A set of simple breathing techniques that slowdown and


normalize breathing while simultaneously exercising subtle
influences on the entire system.

Right Cleansing Kriyas

A set of easy and effortless hygienic procedures that draw the


attention to the affected areas and buttress the bodys own
cleansing mechanisms.

Right Diet Balanced Yogic Diet

Most, of not all, illnesses are in some way linked to wrong food
habits. A slight modification in dietary habits can rehabilitate
the entire system.

Right Relaxation Shavasana

A relaxing asana done several times as part of the Yoga


program. A process designed to soothe both mind and body.
Yoga holds that tension is dis-ease (i.e a state if unease) and
relaxation is health. To this end the whole eightfold path of
Yoga is to purify the body mind complex.

Right Mindset Meditation

Meditation is a technique used to stabilize the mind, increase


concentration and will power, balance cellular and chakra
energy and develop one-pointedness.

All these, if performed together and consistently, help rid


oneself of a variety of psychosomatic disorders. Which is why,
every yoga therapy session should include all these practices.
They help eliminate the aggravated toxins from the system,
balance the tri-doshas and stimulate the essential biochemical
substances in the affected organs.
RIGHT DIET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Diet is very important to our body and mind to keep fit and fine
we must look in to what we eat every time make a not that we
must eat when we are hungry if our body needs then only
otherwise not our food is our medicine to day we are eating
medicine as food and food as medicine

It is said that our level of development, mental and spiritual, is


reflected in the kind of food we eat and our stage of
consciousness is revealed in the nature of that chosen food. Both
yoga and ayurveda advice on a sattvic or a pure vegetarian diet.
Such a diet, it is believed, encourages the development of the
higher qualities of peace, love and spiritual awareness.

DEPENDING ON YOUR TIME AVAILABILITY

Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. They


are low in calories and nutrient dense, which means they are
packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.

Try to eat a rainbow of fruits and vegetables every day and with
every mealthe brighter the better. Colorful, deeply colored
fruits and vegetables contain higher concentrations of vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidantsand different colors provide
different benefits, so eat a variety. Aim for a minimum of five
portions each day.

Some great choices include:

Greens. Branch out beyond bright & dark green lettuce.


Kale, mustard greens, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage are just a
few of the optionsall packed with calcium, magnesium,
iron, potassium, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K.

Sweet vegetables. Naturally sweet vegetablessuch as


corn, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, yams, onions, and
squashadd healthy sweetness to your meals and reduce
your cravings for other sweets.
Fruit. Fruit is a tasty, satisfying way to fill up on fiber,
vitamins, and antioxidants. Berries are cancer-fighting, apples
provide fiber, oranges and mangos offer vitamin C, and so on.

The importance of getting vitamins from foodnot pills

The antioxidants and other nutrients in fruits and vegetables


help protect against certain types of cancer and other diseases.
And while advertisements abound for supplements promising to
deliver the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables in pill or
powder form, research suggests that its just not the same.

A daily regimen of nutritional supplements is not going to have


the same impact of eating right. Thats because the benefits of
fruits and vegetables dont come from a single vitamin or an
isolated antioxidant.

The health benefits of fruits and vegetables come from


numerous vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals working
together synergistically. They cant be broken down into the
sum of their parts or replicated in pill form.

Healthy eating tip : Eat more healthy and whole grains

Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially


whole grains, for long lasting energy. In addition to being
delicious and satisfying, whole grains are rich in phytochemicals
and antioxidants, which help to protect against coronary heart
disease, certain cancers, and diabetes. Studies have shown
people who eat more whole grains tend to have a healthier
heart. A quick definition of healthy and unhealthy

Healthy include whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables.


Healthy are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and
keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable.

Unhealthy foods are such as white flour, refined sugar, and


white rice that have been stripped of all bran, fiber, and
nutrients. Unhealthy digest quickly and cause spikes in blood
sugar levels and energy.
Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy
diet, including whole wheat, brown rice, millet, and barley.
Experiment with different grains to find your favorites.

Make sure you're really getting whole grains. Be aware


that the words stone-ground, multi-grain, 100% wheat. Look
for the words whole grain or 100% whole wheat at the
beginning of the ingredient list check for the Whole Grain
between partial whole grain and 100% whole grain.

Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole


grains. If whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat
pasta dont sound good at first, start by mixing what you
normally use with the whole grains. You can gradually
increase the whole grain to 100%.

Avoid: Refined foods such as breads, pastas, and breakfast


cereals that are not whole grain.

Healthy tip: Enjoy healthy fats & avoid unhealthy fats

Good sources of healthy fat are needed to nourish your brain,


heart, and cells, as well as your hair, skin, and nails. Foods rich
in certain omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA are particularly
important and can reduce cardiovascular disease, improve your
mood, and help prevent dementia.

Add to your healthy diet

Monounsaturated fats, from plant oils like canola


oil, peanut oil, and olive oil, as well as avocados, nuts
(like almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans), and seeds
(such as pumpkin, sesame).
Polyunsaturated fats, including Omega-
3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, found in fatty fish such as
salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and
some cold water fish oil supplements. Other sources
of polyunsaturated fats are unheated sunflower,
corn, soybean, flaxseed oils, and walnuts.
Healthy eating tip : Put protein in perspective

Protein gives us the energy to get up and goand keep going.


Protein in food is broken down into the 20 amino acids that are
the bodys basic building blocks for growth and energy, and
essential for maintaining cells, tissues, and organs. A lack of
protein in our diet can slow growth, reduce muscle mass, lower
immunity, and weaken the heart and respiratory system.
Protein is particularly important for children, whose bodies are
growing and changing daily.

Here are some guidelines for including protein in your


healthy diet

Try different types of protein. Whether or not you are a


vegetarian, trying different protein sourcessuch as beans,
nuts, seeds, peas, tofu, and soy productswill open up new
options for healthy mealtimes.

Beans: Black beans, navy beans, and lentils are good


options.

Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and pecans are great


choices.

Soy products: soy milk, and veggie mung dal for a change.

Avoid salted or sugary nuts and refried beans.

Downsize your portions of protein. Many people in the West


eat too much protein. Try to move away from protein being the
center of your meal. Focus on equal servings of protein, whole
grains, and vegetables.

Focus on quality sources of protein, like fresh fish, chicken or


turkey, tofu, eggs, beans, or nuts. When you are having meat,
chicken, or turkey, buy meat that is free of hormones and
antibiotics.

Healthy eating tip: Add Calcium for strong bones


Calcium is one of the key nutrients that your body needs in
order to stay strong and healthy. It is an essential building block
for lifelong bone health in both men and women, as well as
many other important functions

You and your bones will benefit from eating plenty of calcium-
rich foods, limiting foods that deplete your bodys calcium
stores, and getting your daily dose of magnesium and vitamins D
and Knutrients that help calcium do its job.

Recommended calcium levels are 1000 mg per day, 1200 mg if


you are over 50 years old. Try to get as much of your daily
calcium needs from food as possible and use only low-dose
calcium to make up any shortfalls
Good sources of calcium include Dairy:
Dairy: Dairy products are rich in calcium in a form that is easily
digested and absorbed by the body. Sources include milk,
yogurt, and cheese.

Vegetables and greens: Many vegetables, especially leafy green


ones, are rich sources of calcium. Try turnip greens, mustard
greens, collard greens, kale, romaine lettuce, celery, broccoli,
fennel, cabbage, summer squash, green beans, Brussels sprouts,
asparagus,
Beans: For another rich source of calcium, try black beans, pinto
beans, kidney beans, white beans, black-eyed peas, or baked
beans
Healthy eating tip: Limit sugar and salt
If you succeed in planning your diet around fiber-rich fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and good fats, you may
find yourself naturally cutting back on foods that can get in the
way of your healthy dietsugar and salt.
Sugar
Sugar causes energy ups and downs and can add to health and
weight problems. Unfortunately, reducing the amount of candy,
cakes, and desserts we eat is only part of the solution. Often you
may not even be aware of the amount of sugar youre consuming
each day. Large amounts of added sugar can be hidden in foods
such as bread, canned soups and vegetables, pasta sauce,
margarine, instant mashed potatoes, frozen dinners, fast food,
soy sauce, and ketchup. Here are some tips:

Avoid sugary drinks. One 12-oz soda has about 10


teaspoons of sugar in it, more than the daily recommended
limit! Try sparkling water with lemon or a splash of fruit
juice.

Sweeten foods yourself. Buy unsweetened iced tea, plain


yogurt, or unflavored oatmeal, for example, and add
sweetener (or fruit) yourself. Youre likely to add far less
sweetener than the manufacturer would have.

Eat naturally sweet food such as fruit, peppers, or


natural peanut butter to satisfy your sweet tooth. Keep these
foods handy instead of candy or cookies.

Salt

Most of us consume too much salt in our diets. Eating too much
salt can cause high blood pressure and lead to other health
problems. Try to limit sodium intake to 1,500 to 2,300 mg per
day, the equivalent of one teaspoon of salt.

Avoid processed or pre-packaged foods. Processed


foods like canned soups or frozen dinners contain hidden
sodium that quickly surpasses the recommended limit.

Be careful when eating out. Most restaurant and fast


food meals are loaded with sodium. Some offer lower-sodium
choices or you can ask for your meal to be made without salt.
Most gravy and sauces are loaded with salt, so ask for it to be
served on the side.

Opt for fresh or frozen vegetables instead of canned


vegetables.

Cut back on salty snacks such as potato chips, nuts, and


pretzels.
Check labels and choose low-salt or reduced-sodium
products, including breakfast cereals.

Slowly reduce the salt in your diet to give your


taste buds time to adjust.

CHEW MORE & EAT YOUR FOOD


SLOWLY
Take time to chew your food and enjoy
mealtimes. Chew your food slowly, savouring every bite. We
tend to rush though our meals, forgetting to actually taste the
flavours and feel the textures of our food. Reconnect with the
joy of eating.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really


hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty
instead of hungry. During a meal, stop eating before you feel
full. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your
body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.

Eat breakfast, and eat smaller meals throughout the


day. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart your metabolism, and
eating small, healthy meals throughout the day (rather than
the standard three large meals) keeps your energy up and
your metabolism going.

Avoid eating at night. Try to eat dinner earlier in the day


and then fast for 14-16 hours until breakfast the next
morning. Early studies suggest that this simple dietary
adjustmenteating only when youre most active and giving
your digestive system a long break each daymay help to
regulate weight. After-dinner snacks tend to be high in fat
and calories so are best avoided, anyway.
Natural remedy for sinusitis tulsi or basil leaves
Sinusitis is a dull throbbing pain in your face and head, sudden
bouts of congestion and intense pain when you move your head
are sure signs of sinusitis. A condition that is often seen in
people during the winter months, sinusitis is caused due to an
inflammation in the mucosal membranes lining the hollow
portions within the bones of the face (just above your eyebrows,
cheeks and jaws known as sinuses). The mucous membrane is
supposed to keep the area moist and free of any foreign objects
like dust and infectious organisms. But in some cases this area
gets infected, inflammed and congested which can be quite
painful. While there are a number of drugs that can help relieve
the symptoms, a natural remedy is often what helps the most. If
you are looking for simple and natural way to help relieve the
pain and congestion; TULSI or basil leaves are your best bet.

Sinusitis is basically caused by inflammation of the sinuses


(small air chambers in the facial bones behind the eyebrows,
cheeks and jaws). Sinus infection often follows cold.

Causes for sinusitis

Anything that causes swelling in your sinus or keeps its cilia


(hair) from moving mucus can cause sinusitis. This can occur
because of the constant allergic cold, infections due to viruses,
bacteria and sometimes fungi, changes in air pressure or
temperature (seen in people like pilots and flight attendants).
Other issues could be due to:

Structural problems like deviated nasal septum (the thin


bone in the middle of your nose separating the nostrils) or nasal
polyps (small fleshy growth inside your nose).

In children, even pacifiers and drinking from a bottle while


lying on ones back can lead to sinusitis

Extensive tooth infections/root canals/dental surgeries,


especially in the upper teeth can cause a breach in the lining of
the sinuses and cause infection.
Smoking and alcohol also cause irritation of the sinuses,
reduce immunity thus causing sinusitis

What are the various types of sinusitis?

Acute sinusitis: A sudden onset of cold-like symptoms such


as facial pain and runny, stuffy nose that does not go away after
8-10 days. It typically lasts 4 weeks or less. It is usually caused
by a bacterial infection in the sinuses that result from an upper
respiratory tract infection.

Subacute sinusitis: A sinus inflammation lasting 4 to 8


weeks.

Chronic sinusitis: A condition characterized by sinus


inflammation symptoms lasting 8 weeks or longer. It refers to
long-term swelling and inflammation of the sinuses that may be
caused by bacteria or a fungus. If someone is allergic to airborne
allergens, such as mold, dust, and pollen, which trigger allergic
rhinitis, they may develop chronic sinusitis.

Recurrent sinusitis: Several attacks within a year. If you


have asthma, an allergic disease, you may have frequent
episodes of chronic sinusitis.

Symptoms of Acute sinusitis and Chronic Sinusitis

The classic symptoms of acute sinusitis in adults usually


follow a cold that does not improve, or one that worsens after 5
7 days of symptoms. The primary symptoms of acute sinusitis
include:

Facial pain/pressure Nasal stuffiness Nasal discharge


Reduced sense of smell and taste

Cough/congestion, often worse at night Sore throat

Additional symptoms may include Fever, Bad breath, Fatigue


and Dental pain. Acute sinusitis may be diagnosed when a
person has two or more symptoms and/or the presence of thick,
green, or yellow nasal discharge.

The symptoms of chronic sinusitis are the same as those of


acute sinusitis, but tend to be milder and last longer than 12
weeks. People with chronic sinusitis may have the following
symptoms:

Facial congestion/fullness A nasal obstruction/blockage


Pus in the nasal cavity Fever Nasal
discharge/discolored postnasal drainage

Additional symptoms of chronic sinusitis may include


Headaches, Bad breath, Fatigue and Dental pain.

Natural remedy for sinusitis tulsi or basil leaves

How to use it:


In Ayurveda this is known as a healing KASHAYA or decoction
that can relieve the symptoms of sinusitis in just a few hours.
Here is how you can make it.
Take 10 leaves of tulasi, wash them well. Add this to 10 corns
of black pepper and a small piece of ginger. Grind all the
ingredients well add 250 ml of water and boil it till the quantity
reduces to half. Now, strain the liquid and add a little bit sugar
candy (dont use refined sugar). Drink this mixture while it is
still warm just like you would drink herbal tea.
Drink this tea every morning on an empty stomach. If your
sinusitis is very severe you can have this mixture three times a
day; preferable two hours after your meal. An important rule
you must follow is not to have a bath or expose yourself to the
cold for two hours after having this tea.

YOGA AND AHIMSA


The basis of an ideal sattvic diet is the attitude of ahimsa or
nonviolence. A sattvic or ascetic diet is first and foremost purely
vegetarian, the killing or harming of animals. In addition, a lot of
emphasis is put on natural foods, i.e., foods grown in harmony
with nature, on good soils, ripened naturally, cooked in the right
manner and with the right attitude of love a diet such as this
helps in the development of prana or vital energy and spiritual
consciousness.

Since the aim of a yogic diet is the development of air and ether
elements (vata), it is best suited not only for detoxification of the
body but also for widening the parameters of our mind
(according to both yoga and ayurveda, the mind is basically
composed of vata elements). And for the same reason, die-hard
yogis recommend raw foods coupled with frequent fasts. They
believe that a reduction in the body ultimately results in the
expansion and development of the mindincreasing
detachment and lowering our physical consciousness while
raising the spiritual counterpart. Nonviolent yogic diets consider
not only the doshas or the ayurvedic humors of vata, pitta and
kapha but also the role of prana. Good raw foods, such as
cucumbers, radishes, carrots, tomatoes, sprouts together with
spices like ginger, cinnamon and basil, flushes both the mind
and the body with pranic energy. Traditionally, raw foods,
grains and dairy products are used for cleansing the nadis or the
channels of the subtle body because they bring with them an
increase in prana. A combination of yogasanas, pranayama,
mantra, meditation and a yogic diet works wonders for those
intent on cleansing both the physical and the subtle body.
Legends have it that the great yogis lived on air and prana alone!
But it is possible for slightly lesser mortals to live on water, a
little fruit, milk and clarified butter (ghee) too.

RYMT YOGA & MEDITATION


Yogic meditation is a means of training the being to tune itself to
the workings of the Divine Being. The central principle of such
meditation is to concentrate one's mental faculties upon the
object of quest. But it requires long hours of practice for the
mind to be able to attain such sustainable levels of
concentration and absorption. This discipline, above everything
else, is the essence of yoga meditation

The success of yogic meditation depends largely on the sincerity


and strength of the yogi behind it. It is not the duration but the
intensity of the aspiring consciousness, which is more important
and ultimately effective. Fatigue is to be avoided at all costs,
since it weakens the power of concentration and jades the mind

Yoga meditation puts the being of the meditating yogi in a


condition of increased and conscious receptivity to the workings
of yoga shakti or the power of yoga. With a deepening of this
state of mind there is often a total withdrawal from the external
environment.

With the gradual sense of awakening peace and joy, the yogi
becomes aware of the powers of the Higher Consciousness in his
inner self. In yoga meditation, this condition, experienced
uninterruptedly in the hours of samadhi (the ultimate stage of
such a meditative technique), is stabilized and organized into a
state of liberation in the inner being to the exclusion of the rest
of existence. The yogi's ordinary consciousness is completely
stilled and immobilized in this state of samadhi.

YOGIC SANKALPAS FOR


MEDITATION
Yoga cultivates the will or sankalpa for self-realization, which
are spiritually based. They consist of the intention that one will
perform various yogic practices in order to grow spiritually. The
following are a few simple yogic samkalpas. Bhakti Yoga or
Devotional Samkalpas: "OM! I will perform the following yogic
practices as an offering to the Divine Beloved. May all the divine
powers bless me in this endeavor!" Jnana Yoga or Knowledge
Sankalpas: "OM! I will perform the following meditations to gain
knowledge of God and the higher Self. May God and the great
teachers aid me in this effort!" Karma Yoga or Service
Sankalpas: "OM! I will perform the following actions as a service
to God and to living beings in order to help alleviate suffering!"

RYMT METHOD OF YOGA &


MEDITATION WITH THE PROPER
FOOD
The following are a few easy tips to remember while practicing
Yoga Meditation:
Sit in a comfortable posture with an erect spine, preferably in a
specific yoga posture such as the padmasana or the Lotus
posture. Energize the breath through pranayama. Hold a
visualization for a few minutes to clear the sensory field and
focus the mind internally. This may relate to peaceful colors,
geometric designs (yantra), natural images or that of a deity or
guru. Repeat an affirmation or prayer to increase positive
thought power. Repeat a mantra such as 'OM' to still the mind.
Ideally one should repeat a mantra at least 108 times before the
meditation. Silently observe the mind and let it empty itself out.
Depending on one's natural temperament, it would help to try
and establish contact with either God or a Higher Consciousness
through the natural movement of one's heart and slowly forget
about the counting of mantras once or twice after the counting
of 108 times gradually one should stop counting the numbers
and focus inside that is within and more for self understanding
fallow the diet and balanced food for healthy life

Conclusion

From the study of this new conceptualized methods we


can understand that Natural healing is very much essential
to all leaving beings from time immemorial, in all parts of
the world, many people have believed in self realization.
Of course, we also do believe this is not empirically
verified since there will be no feelings, sensations, mind or
conscious memory faculty after death. The stories
fabricated in primitive ages

That indicate only the souls of dead persons are born


again will not stand up to the enlightenment of people of
this scientific age. If the theory that only dead persons are
born again is accepted, there would be no increase of
population on the earth.
