Note:
For those who do hard
physical work, bending , twisting, turning, every day, untiringly, and for
those who has symmetrical work for all the parts of the body, YOGA is NOT
required. If the mindset is good nothing is required said Bharathiar, poet
of Tamilnadu.
To make your
body ready for Yoga, You have to have
a fruit diet atleast onetime a day, for one week atleast. Othewise
if You are fat and rigid Your body will not cooperate. Easy method
is to go in for fruit diet as above, reduce your fat, scientifically without
harming the body. This will help you to achieve better results.Yoga is slow
and
is not like Aerobic exercises which will produce sweat. You stay in these
postures,
atleast for a few minutes, allowing blood flow to various parts of the body.
KRIYAS
They are for cleaning of body thru bodies' exit points.
**KRIYAHS in Sanskrit are actions
performed by the Yogi of at least 1 year performance
and good experience in Yoga exercises and are advanced yoga actions
performed to cleanse the body of its toxic collections periodically. These
help the organs which are idle and ineffective otherwise
to assume importance in their role performance in the health of a person.
**1.Kapaalabhatee:
This means bringing light into
the brain's interiors. That is to be understood as bringing new oxygen and
new blood flow into the brain and its parts. This is done by a fast and deep
breathing
exercise done with supervision and the blowing of air out with force and
inhaling is definitely an effective method producing some good changes
inside the head. However this is to be done with supervision. There is
nothing wrong in trying for people who know about yoga and who have done it
for some time.
When you blow out air, you stomach and lower lungs part goes in in
compression.
When you blow in, the reverse happens. So while doing it fast you will find
the yogi's stomach going in and coming out at a faster rate, say for a
stretch of 3 minutes. Then one should take rest by lying down.
**2.Draatakam:
Concentrating your vision on one spot, without blinking or without closing
eyelids. It will help in concentration of the mind, for persons with
disturbed distracted minds.
Yogis also sit in vajraasana or padmaasana and keep their vision looking at
the tip of the nose,under this krea.
**3
NETHI (JALA NETHI OR
SOOTHRA NETHI)JALANETHI :
Cleaning Nostrils with Water
Nostril and the passage is
to be cleaned every night or morning so that the remaining phlegm, waste
will not contaminate and cause health problems like sinusitis, head ache,
etc .
Cleaning this passage will help enhance the vision also.
By tilting the face sideways, cooled warm water with a little pinch of salt
is poured by a special jug nozzle into the nostrils one after the other
slowly. After doing the right, the head is tilted back normally and the
water is blown out gently by the nose. The same is done to the other side
also. This is repeated many times, say 3 each side. Before retiring to bed,
2 hours after food if this is done by persons with cold, headache, sinus,
this will really help.
Soothra nethi,
PLEASE DO NOT TRY IT WITHOUT A GUIDE
!
In Soothra nethi, a rubber catheter of very thin diameter and 133cm longer,
is washed in warm water and
applied on surface with some coconut oil. It is inserted into the nostril by
tilting the face towards the roof/sky and it is gently thrusted into the
nostril and further so that it is reaching the throat portion from where by
our sterilized (washed clean ) finger tips, it is pulled out gently. By
pulling its two outer ends by both the hands,GENTLY the passage is cleaned
by the catheter. Breaking bleeding the inner mucous membranes should be
taken care of by using coconut or gingelly(sesame) or
olive oil over the tube and doing it GENTLY,GENTLY,GENTLY.
This should not be done by juniors as blood may come and needs supervision.
The method is given only for competent amateurs and yogis of some
experience.
A WORD OF CAUTION:
WEBSITES CONTAIN MANY ACTIVITIES BUT
ARE NOT FOR CHILDREN or ADULTS, TO FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY OR DO ALONE WITHOUT
ADULT SUPERVISION. ITEMS CONNECTED WITH HEALTH SHOULD NOT BE DONE BY
CHILDREN OR UNINITIATED ADULTS ALONE.
***DHAUTHI
Yoga emphasizes spiritual,
intellectual, mental (psychological) cleanliness and without it no one can
achieve the real benefits of the yoga
culture. Yogic exercises and Kriyas are highly intelligent
cultural gifts to the world from India And are Physical Cleaning &
Strengthening which is a preparation for higher goals.
Dhauthi is cleaning of the waste
eliminating organs in the human body by various methods scientific and
rational.
BY
AIR: the air is taken in and stored
and with EXPERIENCE AND UNDER SUPERVISION,. it is used
to clean the stomach, food pipe, and up to the large
intestine.
BY WATER, one drinks more water
as much as possible in empty stomach, some times with a little
salt added to the
water that is warm. The person moves stomach so that the water cleanses
the stomach. Then by putting a finger deep into the mouth , one brings
forth vomiting which comes with entire water while cleaning the inner. (AS IF WITH AN EMETIC)
BY INTERNAL FIRE that is generated
by breathing out and emptying the lungs and by certain difficult
exercises. It is expected that the body produces a heat inside that
cleanses the body.
BY CLOTH, of very long size
like a cord, soft to the inner sides of the food pipe is taken IN BY
MOUTH by the yogi and
TILL one end of it reaches the stomach. The cord is then after sometime
pulled out of mouth slowly. It brings out all the toxic
substances and this cleanses the insides.
There are also cleaning actions of
the TEETH, and the cleaning action of the tongue, mouth insides, ear
cleaning by warm water. THE MESSAGE IS :
CLEAN YOUR BODY TO GET GOOD
HEALTH
UDHIYANA is emptying the
lungs by exhaling and pulling in the stomach muscles so that the lungs can
be kept empty (vacuum) for a few seconds only. These actions bring
strength to lungs and the stomach and provide us with very
flexible muscles around the stomach.
NAULI is performed by yoga
experts ONLY, by pulling in the stomach and moving it or rotating it
clockwise or anticlockwise so that the stomach is cleaned. This stage
is reached only by experience and much practice. One should have
rubber like muscles in the stomach for this which comes by years of
practice ONLY.
ENEMA is allowing clean
water to enter the rectum through the anus into large intestine and it is
retained there for some 10 minutes and then it is allowed to be naturally
expelled. This is done in allopathy also but with soap water.
In naturopathy or yoga soap is not used and only clean water is
relied upon. It is interesting to know that in the good old days our
forefather- yogis used to enter the river and pull in the clean
river water into the intestine by sucking through the anus and used to
expel it as a way of cleaning the intestine. The stomach muscles are
not as elastic today as they were centuries back perhaps. The stomach is
the seat of all diseases generating in the body. A Bird called IBIS ? is known to
do this enema taking, in rivers by itself.The intellectuals of the east
always said :
Good minds stay in Good
bodies
Hence the need for good
bodies.

===this is a good book worth following to enhance
our body condition.
With out exercise, and diet control diseases will take us over and cannot
relieve us.
MEDICINES
with out the individual's intervention and physical and mental efforts
cannot cure, beyond an extent. It is not a myth. It's a fact, whether you
or I like it or not.
This book has the right type of
movements for the stomach muscles to keep a flexible stomach! and
give you A broad chest with a healthy lungs! It is a pity that after
centuries of schooling no school with
responsibility has got this in its daily routine 10 m exercise and no
police force has enforced it, probably, around the world. This was
done in an office by me with 4 other employees for 6 months and there was enormous output of work and Good
Health.
Children who do this will get a good and strong body

has done honorable and excellent work and
contributed to society in the field of HOLISTIC HEALTH . THEIR
STARTING OF THE INSTITUTION IS WHOLESOME SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION FOR WHICH THE
FOUNDERS WILL BE HONORED IN ALL THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO VISITED THERE
AND OBTAINED GOOD HEALTH. THERE ARE VARIOUS SOCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS A PERSON
DESIRES TO GIVE BUT FALTERS.
THIS IS A MIGHTY REAL CONTRIBUTION
INDEED!!
You can get very useful books from them to get rid of
many minor and major health problems. However these are not marketed
and if you desire to follow a life of discipline without laziness and are hence known to lesser
people. There are many schools of Yoga to mislead the people.
It is difficult to make a wise choice. There are also millions of asanas!. All
that you need is a few according to your health problem or
features
What are the important
asanas every one can learn easily ?
These are postures in which the
blood flow is regulated and supplied to a particular part to rejuvenate it
fully and this is not possible so evenly so symmetrically in any other
exercise. There is no touch of religion in this.
This is a
science. PICTURES FOLLOW
schools are narrowly
missing a chance to strengthen and rejuvenate and freshen their
children's health, by NOT following a daily routine or by following a wrong
routine. A FEW SCHOOLS SHOULD MAKE A NEW BEGINNING TO TEACH YOGA WITHOUT THE
RELIGIOUS STRINGS ATTACHED TO IT
