Parkinson's dsease |Yoga can help control the symptoms of parkinson's | Easy asans, pranayama and mediation





Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system characterized by tremor and impaired muscular coordination; and affects dopamine- a monoamine neurotransmitter found in the brain and essential for the normal functioning of the central nervous system. It releases neurons in the human brain which restrict the balanced functioning of the nervous system by depleting neurons in the brain which in turn weakens the ability of a person to concentrate and balance the mind-body to do work normally. It disturbs the mental and physical harmony of a person and is considered the 14th top reason of mortality in the world. Common indicators of this diseases are tremors in jaw, face, hands and arms; and even when the body is at rest. Second indicator is stiffness and rigidity in the muscle’s movement.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: masked face, back rigidity, tremors in the legs, hand tremors, reduced arms swing, stooped back, slightly flexed hip and knees, sleep problems and loss of smell.

When you constantly do yoga, both in the morning or evening, just 20 minutes, you will see good results of it. Body foretells the onset of any diseases. Following a regular workout regime helps to keep muscles active and can reduce muscle stiffness as well as strengthening the ability to move muscles properly. Intake of caffeine and vitamin D, vitamins B12 and B6, zinc and omega 3 fats also may protect a person from early onset of this diseases. Yoga provides the following set of asanas, pranayama and meditation that can help you:

·         Sarvottan, Skandh chalan, Pag chalan, Nabhi chalan, Janu Prasar, Nadi chalan and Bal Machlan,

·         Youvan Tatva ke Sadhan- Griva chalan, Kati chakra, Bhuja chakra and Jangha chalan,

·         Janushir asana, Vajra asana, Padam asana, Sarpa asana,

·         Pranayama, shav asana and meditation.
Asanas, pranayamas, mudra and meditation boost your energy and keep alive prana energy flow within body properly.

Everything in and round us is Prana or energy. Life pressure or electricity or pranic energy is the substratum and essence of all life, which makes lifestyles feasible at the fabric stage. The prana is one yet it performs many functions in the body that occupy certain places within body and hence has five names: prana, apana, samana, udana and vyana. Pranayama purifies Nadis, of which there are more than 72000 known as astral Nadis which cannot to be seen by the naked eye. So by controlling the act of breathing you can efficiently purify the Nadis and gain control over it. This process by which the prana is controlled by regulation of breath is known as pranayama: rhythmical breathing, Suryabheda, ujjayi, Sitali, Sitkari, Bhastrika and Nadi shudhi. Pranayama is the chief constituent of yoga, known as the technique of breath control; it enhances the strength of pranas, nervous system and organs. Pranayama prolongs life and provides more oxygen to brain and heart that enables and begets activeness, lightness, flexibility, stamina and strengthens in all the major and minor organs of the body within a few days of practicing it.

Meditation gives a significant experience of calm and well-being within five minutes because the cycle of breath links you to the rhythms of creation within you and with the cosmic prana energy. Meditation keeps the brain in an energised and balanced state of being; keeping balanced the pituitary glands and pineal glands, melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland, enhancing dopamine efficiency, and keeps balancing amygdala. Amygdala is an almond-shaped neural structure in the anterior part of the temporal lobe of the cerebrum; intimately connected with the hypothalamus and the hippocampus and the cingulate gyrus; as part of the limbic system it plays an important role in motivation and emotional behaviour.

Gradually, you will get a feel for the act of sitting in silent stillness and will be able to increase the time limits further easily enthusiastically. Ten minutes of keeping in deep meditation is equal to six hours of sound sleep and where oxygen consumption falls to its lower level in meditation provides good results. Meditation increases tissue mass in the area of the brain of controlling impulses and maintaining attention swiftly, increased thickness in the state of the brain is accountable for body awareness, enhanced focus and stress management as well as keeping the amygdala in balance. There is a direct relationship between the breath and senses. These five senses are hear, smell, taste, sight and touch.  Prana energy is entirely dependent upon the breathing frequency.

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...
