Janu Prasar Asana: To Save Your Shoes From Untimely Death



I am really unhappy today; Reason: The pair of sneakers I brought recently from an online site started showing the signs of their death. The sole is wearing out too quickly and I believe it won’t last long than a week. The online store has no return policy so my hard earned money gone in vain. I wish this pair had stronger muscles than this to bear the grind.



Unfortunately this is the fast forward story of the life of ‘all lazy fellows’ who take it easy every morning or evening when it’s time to burn some calories by some kind of workout. People have no problem investing money for their fitness but they don’t want to invest time in taking care of their bodies. That’s why ‘no shows’ at gyms and fitness centres is a common phenomenon.But later in life when it became more complex and we are not getting young anymore. Weaker muscles and lazy lifestyle throws to the backseat of life. Means you have no or less control on your life.

While taking a long run or hitting the gym for strength exercises may not be the choice many of us; Yoga has a solution for those people who ‘want to’ but ‘cannot’ and guess what! The solution comes with additional benefits. The Solution is: “Janu Prasar Asana”          

How it works??

 It is beneficial for the Thighs, Knees, Lower Abdomen and muscles of the lower body. It tones up the lower part of your Spinal Cord as well as it cures indigestion and regulates bowel function. Not only this but it also cures constipation and strengthens intestines.

Steps to Follow


  • Lie straight on the ground and keep the body straight. 

  • Fold your left leg slowly and put sole of the foot on knee of the right leg.

  • Stretch the bent leg outwards to touch the ground slowly and Hold it position for a few seconds then move it back to the initial position.
  • Repeat this movement for at least 10 times for each leg.

  • Make sure to keep rest of the body in relax position so that it does not interfere with your lower body movements.
  • Repeat this Asana Daily. The duration could be increased as body adapt to the movements.

Layers of the Mind, journey from Consciousness to super conciousness

Image
“The mind is everything. What you think you become” Buddha To perceive things better is an observation. The observation unfolds the entire reality of the mind and body as well as bring perfect repose to both every time, with practise. The real wisdom that brings real changes in one’s life would be come through this observation only. Observation is the one and only tool that will control  the three folds of the mind-stuff for the higher state of existence/super consciousness/ no-mind. This is the teaching of Buddha. Along with the physical process there is the psychic process, the mind and it comprises of four processes such like as conscious, perception, sensation and reaction. The Mind comprises of three layers; the conscious, the unconscious and the super-conscious. All of these layers have different functions to perform within the body. Conscious mind always brings about our ego- the ‘I’ and has an awareness of the objects within; and takes in raw material from the a...

Pag Chalan Asana - 'For Those Who Want To Do Things Differently'

“ Successful People don’t do different things, they do things differently ” I assume most of us have heard of above written lines at some point of their lives. This simple quote written above reveals a lot of about our lives and it’s patterns. In our lives every day we take several decisions. We weigh in the profits and loss and come to a conclusion which is generally in our favour. We all like favourable circumstances or events right? And what do we do when an adverse situation arises in our life? Most of us get panic and make the situation even worse by taking wrong actions or no actions at all to solve the problem. Those who keep their mind calm even if a situation is as big as a tornado comes out with a wise decision and wins the game of life that’s how they do things differently.  Anxiety , Sadness and Anger drains out our capabilities to think wisely which in return make us take wrong decisions. One has to keep his calm in order to get through the problems...

Which asanas and pranayama are better to do in winter

Those who are suffering from joint pains always dread winter, and their biggest concerns is the sudden intensity of pain which increases as the season advances. People with arthritis or affected by other orthopaedic pain witness a steady worsening of symptoms that are caused by the stiffening of muscles, ligaments and joints as temperatures decrease. Each joint and each group of muscles in the body might have a different level of flexibility that depends on muscular strength and cardio respiratory endurance. In early ages as childhood one has more flexibility in muscles, bones and joints which all together provide bubbling up energy all due to the best coordination among muscular strength, cardio respiratory endurance and sufficient prana energy. The movement of joints is facilitated by smooth hyaline cartilage that covers the bone ends and the synovial membrane that lines and lubricates. The following are some medically proven ways to beat cold and control pain in winter...
