PRANAYAM

PRANAYAM
"Pranayama is control and extension of Breath".

"Prana" is Breath or vital energy in the body. On subtle levels prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and "ayama" means control. So Pranayama is "Control of Breath". One can control the rhythms of pranic energy with pranayama and achieve healthy body and mind.

Patanjali in his text of Yoga Sutras mentioned pranayama as means of attaining higher states of awareness, he mentions the holding of breath as important practice of reaching Samadhi. Hatha Yoga also talks about 8 types of pranayama which will make the body and mind healthy. Five types of prana are responsible for various pranic activities in the body, they are Prana, Apana, Vyan, Udana & Samana. Out of these Prana and Apana are most important. Prana is upward flowing and Apana is downward flowing.
Practice of Pranayama achieves the balance in the activities of these pranas, which results in healthy body and mind.

Types Of Pranayama:
• Quiet Breathing , Deep Breathing , Fast Breathing
• Tribandha and Pranayama
• Nadi Shuddhi Pranayama or Anuloma - Viloma (Alternate nostril breathing - I
• Anuloma - Viloma or Alternate Nostril Breathing - II
• Suryan Bhedan Pranayama (Right Nostril Breathing)
• Ujjayi Pranayama
• Bhramari Pranayama
• Pranayama from Hatha Yoga (Surya Bhedan, Bhasrika, Ujjayi, Shitali, Sitkari, Bhramari, Murchha & Plavini Pranayama)
• Kapalbhati(also included in yogic shatkarma)

As people have attraction towards Yogasanas, similarly they have attraction to Pranayama. The process of Pranayama is concerned with the breathing, the indicator of life. And therefore, if it is done wrongly, it may do harm to the person. This fear dissuades many from taking up Pranayama. The second reason for its unpopularity is the absence of teachers who can teach it scientifically. However, it is true that if one does Pranayama unscientifically, without proper guidance, one certainly suffers. But it does not mean that it is such a difficult process, that it cannot be done by a common man. On the contrary, if it is learnt and practiced under an expert's guidance, one learns soon and experiences the wonderful and even unimaginable benefits.

In Patanjali's "Ashtanga Yoga", Pranayama appears at the fourth stage. This means unless one observes Yama-Niyama and does Asanas well, he cannot reach this fourth stage. Even the Asanas discussed here are presented in their preliminary form. Therefore, for doing Pranayama, it is not enough to have done the Asanas as mentioned here. Even after learning these Asanas and having practiced them, one needs some preparation before actually taking up Pranayama. And an attempt is made to discuss that preparation. Actual Pranayama means the holding up of the process of exhaling and inhaling. And it is not possible to discuss or guide this serious aspect of Yogabhyasa in preliminary discussion.

Meditation

MEDITATION
Meditation encompasses a variety of practices that are somewhat different, while holding to the basic principles of consideration and quiet thought to bring about a state of rumination. Various types of meditation that are recognized include transcendental meditation, prayer, Zen meditation, Taoist meditation, mindfulness meditation, and Buddhist meditation. Some methods of meditation may require the body being absolutely still or to be moved with controlled deliberation, while other types allow for free movement of the body.
While the methods are different, the end goal of all types of meditation lead to a mind that is quieted and free from stress by the use of quiet contemplation and reflection Along with the question "What is Meditation," you may also wonder, "What benefits can be experienced by using meditation regularly?"
There are a variety of benefits that have been linked with the regular practice of meditation. Meditation can bring about healing of both the body and the mind by using deliberation of thought and consideration.
There are various physical benefits that can be experienced when meditation is made to be a part of daily life. Some physical benefits of meditation include a decrease in blood pressure and an improvement in breathing due to the increase of air flow that gets to the lungs. Those who use meditation regularly also find that their resting heart rate is lower as well, which takes some of the stress off the heart. Chemicals in the body that are associated with stress are lower as well, which leads to less anxiety. Meditation also promotes youthful skin and a youthful appearance.
Meditation is a practice that brings about not only physical benefits, but psychological benefits as well. Bringing oneself to a state of rumination through meditation has amazing effects on the psych of a person. Relaxation and a decrease in stress are rather obvious benefits, but many people do not realize that meditation can also improve moods and memory and decrease moodiness and depression Now that you have some answers to the question, "What is meditation," you may want to go on to experience the benefits of meditation for yourself. Mediation can only improve the life you are living; providing both physical and emotional benefits that will change your life in a positive way.

How yoga works

HOW YOGA WORKS
Blood flow & oxygen supply of whole body increases through yoga thus every part of body gets more energy and subsequently its work capacity increases. e.g. In case of 'Sarvangasan' blood circulation to thyroid endocrine gland increases subsequently it's work capacity increases. Like this in case of 'Shirshasan'blood circulation to brain increases neurons supply senses faster to brain.

A research according to Dr.Crystophur Moor of Mesechuates institute of technology (MIT) America, “we expect to cure Alzimers, siezophrenia, multiple sclerosis & epilepsy through shirshasan
Like this in some yogaasans & mudras, increases ,decreases the pressure of various visceral orgnas(Stomuch,Liver,Intestine,Kidney,Pancreases) some times zero pressure thus these organs gets a visceral massage that improves their work capacity in a patient as well as a healthy individual.

Some reflex actions ,feed back mechanism also effected by yoga.Like this we can fight with wrinkles through some facial yoga.which are helpful to stretch and tone facial muscles like singhasan,hasyasan,Shnya pranayam,& some Sukshma yogasans .our facial muscles become weak and flabby and need regular work outs and circulation to reduce wrinkles.
Thus we can say yoga acts as Antioxidant in our body & also removes toxins from body as antitoxin.

Swami Ramdev ji Maharaj [Founder of world famous Patanjali Yogpeeth (Trust) & Divya Yoga mandir (Trust) Haridwar,India,(Patanjali Yogapeeth is world's first divene institution for treatment and innovative research in Yoga, Ayurveda & other Traditional system of medicines adopting modern scientific parameters) Swami Ramdev ji says "Oxygen (Pran) we breathe fills our lungs,spreads in the entire body(internal and external including neurons,veins ,arteries) providing it with essential food,energy,oxygen and gentle massage;not only that the veins collect the dross elements from the body,take them to the heart and then to the lungs,which throws the useless materials like carbon-di-oxide and other fatal toxins out of the body through the act of exhalation.

Through pranayam and meditation we attain a transcendental state of conciousness where the mind has no thoughts or impressions .in that state,our neuro-endocrine system becomes limbic-hypothalamic,pitutary,adrenal axis becomes strong and precise as a result our stress hormones-ACTH, Cortisol, prolactin ,adrinaline, and nor-adrenaline go down.And good harmones like beta endorphines,enkaphalins gets go up. As a result stress-related disease like hypertension,obesity,heart diseases, etc start reversing.so do the cases of diabetes,asthma,bronchitis,leucoderma,depression,parkinson, insomnia,migraine,thyroid,arthritis,cervecal spondylitis,hepatitis,chrocic renal failure. cancer, cirrhosis of liver, gas, constipation, acidity etc. spiritually speaking ,with the support of respiration the mind peers into the inner world and enables the 'Sadhak'(Yog practionar) to experience divinity.
Thus yoga fulfils Maharshi Sushruta's healthy individual definition

MISCONCEPTION ABOUT YOGA


Some youngsters have misconception that health can't be maintain without exercising, instruments, and gym apparatus but we assure you that a good health need determination and patience with a little bit time from your hectic schedule with our yoga practices.
There are so many misconceptitions about yoga due to lack of trained trainer .The biggest misconceptition is about the basic of yoga or aim of yoga which we want to clear, that the aim of yoga is "Tatvanubhuti" i.e. discovery of self or is to be tune with supreme.

Some person misguide yoga as an only beneficial in clinical aspect that is wrong, Yoga is our complete development. It’s a divine science.


Another misconceptition about yoga in reference to type of yoga .The basic of yoga comes out from Upnishadas,Shrimadbhagvadgeeta& patanjali Yogasutra,But some persons are developing their own yogic styles & giving it their own name that is wrong.

Some youngsters avoid yoga by saying that it is time consuming process & beneficial only to aged persons but they have great mistaken ,they don't know that yoga is for all age group and if it takes time, than it gives them a lot of then their time in form of increasing their work capacity, their management skills ,time management skills, hustle-bustle life style to a routined life, spiritualistic gain, and everything that they can't imagine.

Some youngsters(and some fake doctors also) avoid yoga by saying it is fake ,it is just only way to mint money by spiritual selling, they blame it as a superstition or a witchcraft ,for their kind information please read Achrya Balkrishna's (world famous Ayurveda & Yoga practionar) Book "Vijan ki kasauti par yoga" published by patanjali yoga peeth ,Haridwar(World fame yoga trust)

Some youngsters ridicule the supernatural (holistic, Yogic) healing power, but if they see the miracles before their naked eyes they have to believe & We assure you to see this.

Some persons are performing yoga at steam(warm) conditions ,and minting a lot of money at international level, But they have great mistaken, they don't know that yoga's land of origin is India & Indian Saints, Sages, Rishies, Maharshies all used to practice yoga at cold valleys of Himalayas & Whoever desired to practice yoga went to Himalaya's cold temperature conditions & practiced yoga in India. So you all are kind requested to avoid that persons who are performing yoga opposite to originality at steam conditions( at hot temperature) and save your time & money.

Note:- 'Yoga' word is also used in Astrology, the combination of stars(griha,nakshtra) in different aspect in a horoscope is called yoga in astrology.

Word 'Yoga' is also used in Ayurveda (The ancient Indian medical system-the life science),Medicine prepared with the help of different ingredients/contents is also called 'Yoga's.
