SwarYoga - Cure Without Medication

It is the first duty of mankind to keep themselves away from diseases - physical as well as psychological, when there are grave chances of contagious diseases due to unhealthy living. Many medical systems have been evolved to cure these diseases for over a period of times. Some of the major available medical treatments are: Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurvedic, Unani, Acupressure, Acupuncture and Siddha, etc. These systems have their own pros and cons. 

Auirvedic Medicines

It might have left a bad taste on you when a medicine cured a disease but a new one has comes into existence. So, you may please spare a few minutes to think over; how it would feel to be cured without intake of a single pill of medicine. 

‘Swarodaya Yoga’ is an alternate to the bitter pills of treatment that we swallow. It is a science as it allows us to systematically study sound of inhaling or exhaling of breath through our nose which one can observe individually or personally. It is named after Swar i.e. sound of breathing and pulse. Swar exactly means: musical note.

‘Swarodaya Yoga’ cures all diseases by balancing three types of imbalances - Vata (Air), Pitta (bile) and Cuff (Sputum) through our respiratory system which are the major elements of Ayurveda also. The pulses are connected to our heart and if we palpate arteries, we can record our heartbeat. You will definitely agree to the fact that human life is dependent on oxygen which is taken to our cells by red blood cells available in hemoglobin of our blood. So, our body is completely dependent on inhalation and exhalation of breathing. 

Pulse System

‘Swarodaya Yoga’ defines and divides the breathing system into three types i.e. Ida (when we inhale & exhale from our left side of the nostrils), Pingla (when we inhale & exhale from our right side of the nostrils) and Sushmana (when we inhale & exhale from both sides of the nostrils). We mostly breathe in & out from either Ida or Pingla but sometimes we breathe from both the nostrils. Ida depicts peace and purity as per Sarovdaya Shastra, however, Pingla relates to gallant and power. Sushmana is neutral among them. It says that, we should work according to the nature of Ida or Pingla.

Swarodaya Yoga states that we alternatively breathe one of the other nostrils for one hour (12 times each) throughout a day. The rotations of beginning of breathe with each nostril changes with lunar cycle. Our breathing begins from the left nostril on the day of a new moon upto three days and then it changes to right nostril for next three days. This rotation continues till the last date of full moon. However, the rotation will be contrary to the above lunar phase when moon moves from Waxing Gibbous to Waning Crescent. If you find that you are not breathing in the defined order, it means that you may get ill and if that continue to remain for more than 45 days, it means that you will breathe your last soon. We can cure our breathing rotation, if we start to breathe against the natural rotation. The simple approach is not to breathe from the nostril, if that breathes against the natural way. You should stop that immediately by pressing the nostril with the use of thumb and start inhaling from the nostril which is not pressed. After inhaling you should release the pressed nostril for exhaling. However, exhaling shall be done after pressing the nostril, which has been used for inhaling, with two fingers. Even, if we fail to stop breathe in a natural way, then we should apply a cotton or silk cloth instead of thumb and fingers. 

So, if you learn to change your breathe, you can win over air and medicines. 

  

Yoga - Ashtanga Yoga

Success is a focal and optimal point that makes you want to look worldly.  Many rush daily to their workplaces for its quest but few of them have genuinely ever tried to connect their souls to their minds.  

Our mind works tirelessly to realize our materialistic goals and it is constantly breaking with precedent for our follies.  Shall we not offer it a small fraction of seconds to connect to our soul and shun the endless thinking process? You can solely cherish such a single moment of keeping your mind off.

Yoga is a supernatural source, which can help you to cure physical and mental ailments and thus to achieve the real objective of mental peace. It is a continuous learning process which should be initially started in the supervision of an expert in yoga.   Let’s discuss - What is Yoga?  Literally, Yoga means ‘Yuj’ in Sanskrit language i.e. union. It is a process to connect the soul with divine providence. The objective of Yoga as per Ashtanga Yoga is: ‘Yogashchit Vriti Nirodhah’ i.e. to curb the wave of thoughts about misconceptions and to curb the deviation of mind means Yoga.  

There are eight limbs of Yoga as per Ashtanga Yoga, which are given below:

1. Yam: Yam includes nonviolence, truthfulness, non-stealing, celibacy, forgiveness, patience, compassion, honesty, moderate appetite.
2. Niyam: Purity (body and mind), contentment, endurance, self-study, worship the almighty, theism, donation, listening to ultimate truth, intelligence, not to be ashamed of good things, sacrifice.
3. Asana: To maintain a body posture for maximum hours.
4. Pranayama: Controlling inhaling and exhaling of breath
5. Pratyahaar:  Withdrawal of five senses i.e. see through eyes, taste through tongue, listening through ears, touch of body, smelling through nose.
6. Dharna: Concentrating the mind at one object while holding breath.
7. Dhyaan: Deeper concentration of the mind through meditation.  
8. Samadhi:   It is an optimum level of concentration of mind when our logical and analytical ability of thinking of the being is stopped. 

Samadhi is a momentary experience at the initial stage and one can realize it only after following the eight limbs.  You may not achieve ‘Samadhi’, as most of the people can’t, but if you manage to achieve it for a moment; you will realize that it is quite difficult to achieve it again and again. You can master the technique with continuous practice only.

Our all biological activities are stopped at the time of Samadhi, Even Samadhi helps to stop senescence. But, we need not to forget our prime objective to connect our soul with divine providence and practice in that direction only.
