Yoga - Care for Eyes

In this age of computers, lot of eyes problem in later life are due to a loss of tone in the eye muscles. These muscles tend to become rigid, and the subsequent loss of elasticity decreases the ability of the lens of the eye to focus at different distances. It also results in weaker eyesight.

Below mentioned are some of the basic Eye Exercises must for everyone:

1) Move your eyes up as far as you can. Then move them downwards as far as you can. Then blink rapidly a few times to relax the eye muscles. At least four times in one go.

2) Do the above exercise using points to your right and left, but at eye level. Keep your raised fingers or two pencils on either side as guides. Adjust them in such a way that that you can see them clearly when moving the eyes to the right and to the left. However, you must do this without straining.

Keeping your fingers at eye level move only the eyes and look to the right at your chosen point. Then look to the left. Repeat this exercise four times. Blink a few times then close your eyes and rest for a while.

3) Select a point you can see from the right corner of your eyes when you raise them. Choose another one that you can see from the left corner of your eyes when you lower them, half closing your eyelids. Don’t forget to retain your original posture – spine erect, hands on your knees, head straight and motionless.

Stare at your chosen point in the right corner up, then to the one in left corner down. Repeat this exercise four times. Blink several times, then close the eyes and rest. Now do the same on the reverse side, i.e., first look to the left corner up, then to the right corner down. Repeat this four times, blink several times, then close the eyes and rest.

Yoga - Acnes & Cure

Acne, They are commonly referred to as pimples, spots and zits.
Of course, it will involve changing your life style, your waking, sleeping habits – getting them into discipline and order, that is – your food habits and some regular exercises.

Causes of Acne:
• Wrong eating habits
• Erroneous lifestyle
• Smoking
• Drugs
• Drinking
• Stress and worrying
• Unhygienic living conditions

The basic problem with people suffering from acne is excess of toxins in the body. Yoga helps by flushing toxins out of the system. Which can easily be achived through cleansing kriyas (techniques):

Vaman Dhauti (Drinking and vomiting water on an empty stomach)
Kunjal Kriya or Vaman Dhauti (regurgitative cleansing)
Preparation :
Wash the hands and make sure the nails are carefully trimmed.
Prepare about two litres of lukewarm (body temperature) water per person, adding one teaspoonful of slat per litre according to taste.
Technique I : Kunjal Kriya (the practice of vomiting water)
Stand near a sink or toilet, or if the weather is warm, in a suitable place outside in the garden or near on open drain. Drink at least six glasses of the prepared water one after the other, as quickly as possible, until it feels that the stomach cannot hold any more. It is most important to drink fast and not just sip the water.
When the stomach is full, the urge to vomit will occur automatically.
Lean forward, keeping the trunk as horizontal as possible.
Open the mouth and place the middle and index fingers of the right hand as far back on the tongue as possible.
Gently rub and press the back of the tongue. This should induce the water to gush out from the stomach.
If there is no expulsion of water it means the tips of the fingers are not far enough down the throat or that the tongue is not being pressed.
The more the practitioner relaxes into the practice, the easier it will be.
During the expulsion of water the fingers may be removed from the mouth although this is not necessary.
When the flow of water ceases, again place the fingers in the mouth and repeat the process.
Continue in this way until stomach is empty.

Shanka Prakshalana
The word Shankhaprakshalana comes from two words. Shankha meaning “conch” and prakshalana meaning to wash completely. The word shankha is used to represent the entire alimentary canal from mouth to anus. This practice is also known as “varisar dhouti”. This practice is also a part of kaya kalpa, which is an ayurvedic technique for physical purification and transformation, kaya means body & kalpa means transformation. Shankhaprakshalana is the process to clean the intestinal tract by removing the impurities with salty water.
NOTE – No one should try this in absence of Yoga Guru and without advice of medical practitioner.

Pre- preparation:
Plenty of clean, warm water should be available, add 2 tea spoons of salt per liter to the water and 1 lemon juice per litter. Please Do not add sugar.

Jala Neti (Nasal cleansing with water)

• Neti removes all the dirt and bacteria filled mucus from within the nose
• It also helps to drain the sinus cavities. This in turn, will help to reprogramme the body’s natural mechanisms against nasal infections such as hayfever, allergies, sinusitis and other upper respiratory complaints like sore throats and coughs, post nasal drip, inflammation of tonsils and adenoids.
• It is beneficial for illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis as it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing by freeing the nostrils of mucus.
• It has a cooling and soothing effect on the brain by drawing out excessive heat, and is therefore beneficial for headaches, migraine, epilepsy, temper tantrums, hysteria, depression and general mental tension.
• Neti is of great benefit for problems associated with the eyes. It helps flush the tear ducts, encouraging clearer vision and gives a sparkle to the eyes.
• It can be beneficial for certain types of ear disorders such as middle ear infections, glue ear, tinitis.
• Neti improves sensitivity of the olfactory nerves, helping to restore lost sense of smell, and thereby benefits the relationship with taste and the digestive processes.
• It has subtle effects on the pineal and pituitary glands which control the hormonal system. This has a harmonising effect on emotional behaviour.
• Neti affects the psychic centre known as Ajna Chakra which helps in awakening higher states of meditation.
• It helps to stimulate better powers of visualisation and concentration and gives a feeling of lightness and clarity to the mind.
• Neti is excellent for those trying to give up smoking. Since it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing, Neti re-sensitises the nose to the actual pollution of ingesting smoke, thereby de-programming the brain of the physical and psychological addiction.

Above all eat vegetarian diet, avoid junk and oily food and practice lots of yoga basic poses. If possible, include meditation as part of your daily practices to calm mind and body.
