How Dhanur Asana solves diabetes, respiration problems-and keeps apart hypertention



Dhanur asana is also known as the bow posture. The Sanskrit word ‘dhanur’ means bow and arrow, like an archer stringing a bow the body mimics the shape of a bow with its stretched back ready to shoot an arrow. Dhanur asana helps the abdominal muscles and spine receive sufficient amount of blood supply by stretching and putting pressure on the navel areas.  It also helps to improve one’s digestive system as well as help strengthen the back. Dhanur asana tones back muscles and maintains the elasticity of spine. Stretching the abdominal viscera enables all organs e.g. liver, spleen, intestines and pancreas to remain in good health.  The asana aids good blood circulation within and around the body which further enhances stamina and strength of the body while helping to keep obesity under control. Problems of hypertension, diabetes, reproductive, heart and respiration also resolve themselves. 


Note: Warm-up is an essential before undertaking this asana to prevent injury.



Procedure:

Lie down on the stomach, head down and the arms alongside the body with palms facing upward.

Turn the head and place the chin on the floor.

Exhale and bend the knees up and reach back with the arms slowly.

Grasp the right ankle with the right hand and the left ankle with the left hand.

While inhaling, raise the legs by pulling the ankles up and lifting the chest from the ground.

Hold the breath.

The body should look like the bow.

The weight of the body must be remained on the navel areas.

Bend your head backward and pull the legs toward the head and make a bow.

Hold the asana as you can while comfortably hold the breath.

Exhale slowly and bringing the knees to the floor and leave the legs and relax for a while in shav-asana and repeat it three times.

Benefits: Dhanur asana restores flexibility to the spine. Regular practice will relieve lower back pain. Helps to cure disorders of the spine, stomach, chest and respiration.

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.

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?

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...
