How to do Pranayama & be free of Diseases?

Some Rules for Performing Pranayama

* Select a clean and peaceful place for doing Pranayama. If possible, choose a place near a clean pond or river.
* As there is a lot of pollution in the cities, some kind of incense can be lit like Guggulu and purified butter, to create a clean environment at that place, igniting a lamp with purified butter only, can also serve the purpose.
* Sit either in any of the Asanas, viz. Padmasana, Sidhasana or Vajrasana, which ever you find convenient. The sheet or cloth (cotton or wool etc.) on which you sit must be a non-conductor of electricity.
* Breathe only through the nose, because by doing so the air which you take in, is filtered. During daytime when you are not sitting for the performance of Pranayama make it a habit to do respire only through nose and not through mouth. Nasal respiration keeps the temperature of the Nadis (Vessels) –'Ida',Pingala and 'susmana' even. It also prevents foreign and harmful objects from getting into lungs.

* Like ‘Yog’, Pranayama should also be performed four or five hours after taking food. In the morning Pranayama should be done after finishing daily routine acts like cleansing mouth, emptying of bowels etc., it should also be done before Yogsana. In the beginning Pranayama should be done for five or ten minutes gradually the time may be increased up to about 1/2 or 1 hour. Maintain a specific number of repetitions and do not variate. Maintain a specific rhythm. If it is not possible to clean the bowels by morning, at night take some mild laxative like terminalia chebula (Indian Hardaya) or any other mild laxative (a non habit forming medicinal herb having a laxative effect). Kapala-bhati Pranayama, if done regularly for a few days will help in curing constipation.
* Keep your mind calm and composed. However, Pranayama can also calm down the disturbed mind and keep one happy.
o Methods of Pranayama may be varied according to the seasons and your own physical make up and mental attitude. Keep this in mind and modulate the method accordingly. Some Pranayama increase the body temperature, whereas, some bring it down. Some Pranayama maintain the temperature at the normal level.
* If you feel fatigued in the course of doing Pranayama , rest for sometime and then begin deep breathing, which will remove the fatigue.
* Pregnant women, hungry persons, persons suffering from fever and those who are lustful having no control on their passions should not do Pranayama . If you are sick, keep in mind the instructions to be followed by sick persons while during Pranayama.
* For prolonged exercises of Pranayama, observance of celibacy is necessary. Besides, food should be simple not containing irritating spices. It should be ‘Sattvika’ – (Plain and simple, non-spicy food). Use of cow’s milk, ghee (clarified butter), fruits and green vegetables can be said to be ideal food. Moderation also is a good rule to observe.
* Do not strain yourself while doing ‘Kumbhak’ i.e. retaining the breathed air inside or keeping the air out after exhaling (Breathing in is called ‘puraka’, retaining the breathed air in is called ‘Kumbhak’ and exhaling the air is called ‘Recak').
* Pranayama does not mean just breathing in, keeping the breathed air in and exhaling it. It also means establishing control on the entire breathing process, and maintaining mental equilibrium, and concentration of mind.
* It is beneficial to chant the mantra (a group of words that carry vibrations and energy) Om (the first cosmic soundless sound), aloud and repeat the same several times before doing Pranayama. Even recital of sacred songs in the praise of almighty God or recital of some sacred hymns may be beneficial. This will calm your mind and make you fit for Pranayama, because a peaceful mind is very essential while doing Pranayama . Mental or loud recitation of Gayatri Mantra (considered as one of the greatest mantra, used in meditation and also for chanting) or any other sacred hymn brings spiritual benefits to the Sadhaka.
o See that while doing Pranayama , none of your organs such as mouth, eyes, nose, etc. feels any strain and it should be done gradually without any undue stress or strain. All the organs of the body should be kept in normal condition. While doing Pranayama sit in an erect posture. Keep your spine and neck straight. This is essential for reaping the full benefit of Pranayama .
* If possible Pranayama should be done after your usual morning functions like cleansing of mouth, evacuation of bowels, bathing etc. However, if it becomes necessary for you to take bath after Pranayama , keep an interval of about 15 to 20 minutes between Pranayama and bathing. For acquiring proficiency in Pranayama do not depend on books or what is done and preached by others. Seek the guidance of an expert and do Pranayama under his direct supervision.
o Different treatise advocating or dealing with the subject of Pranayama describe several methods and each of them has its own importance. However, it is not possible for most people to do all these exercises daily. Hence, with the blessings of our teachers and in view of our experience, we have evolved seven methods of Pranayama , which incorporate into themselves, almost all the peculiarities of Pranayama rendering them scientific and useful from a spiritual point of view. All these seven types of Pranayama can be done, as a routine and in a time bound programme of about 20 minutes. The person who does these exercises daily and regularly can attain following benefits which are briefly described as under:

Tantra: Divine Union of Man & Woman In Love

The meaning of the word Tantra, derived from Sanskrit, is “to weave”. In the tantric lifestyle, we weave together all aspects of our lives into one harmonious whole. Work becomes a meditation, making love becomes our spiritual practice, the lover and the beloved melt into one.

In the Tantric cosmology, the whole universe was created and continues to evolve through two fundamental forces, which together form one indestructible divine union. These are the male and the female aspects, and in Tantra they are represented by the goddess Shakti and the god Shiva.

Shakti represents the female principle of pure energy and dynamic potential, whereas Shiva who embodies the male principle, emanates creation and power representing pure consciousness. Together, Shiva and Shakti are the divine couple. Their Love interplay, their cosmic dance, is how the world was created, according to the Tantric belief.

You may have seen Indian art depicting a man (often a Buddha-like figure) sitting with his legs crossed on a lotus flower and across his lap sits a woman, often depicted nude. This is the classic tantric position also known as Yab Yum, and those pictures are known as Yab Yum Deities.

In Tibetan, yab yum stands for “mother father”, and it describes the divine union – energetic/Dynamic and Consciousness- of mother and father, the female and male principles, Shiva and Shakti. In Tantric practice, the woman is honored as Shakti, and the man as Shiva. There are many tantric rituals in which these essences are visualized and embodied. There is one tantric practice in which the woman straddles the man and together they visualize the divine powers of a Yab Yum Deity above their heads, and eventually allowing these powers to enter their energy system at the 7th Chakra, the crown of our head. For this to happen purity of mind and body is essential.

This sounds very interesting indeed, however, how does this apply to our everyday life? Tantra acknowledges that every man has some feminine aspects and every woman has some male aspects. And to live most harmoniously, all aspects are consciously woven into a fabric of balance and understanding.

Let’s look at it from the perspective of the Chinese Yin and Yang philosophy. Yin is the female principle – receptive, soft, flowing - and Yang is the male principle – outgoing, full of initiative, strong. We all carry Yin and Yang inside of us and our actions throughout the day reflect the Yin and Yang aspects. A simple and fun tantric practice is to become aware of our Yin and Yang aspects. Not only is the practice itself entertaining but it can dramatically change the way we relate to our beloved, the world around us and our attitudes at large. Yin and Yang is represented in us in many ways, just as the male and female principles have many colors. For example we consider that the act of giving is a yang action, while receiving is considered to be yin.

Once you have mastered the delicate art of observing yin and yang in your lovelife, you can apply the same attitude towards other actions in your life. You can consciously switch roles for the day. Let’s say your partner tends to be very directive (nothing wrong with that) and you are the one who always does things the way he wants (nothing wrong with that either). But just for the experiment, decide one day that you are going to be the directive one and your partner will surrender to the way you want things done. It will give both of you an understanding about the other person, and deepen the intimacy, clarity and harmony of your relationship.

The Yin Yang symbol a harmonious circle divided into two areas – the black (Yang) and the white (Yin), with a circle of white in the black part and a circle of black in the white part. In Tantra, this symbol represents complete balance of male and female principles.He is in she and she is in He. Dynamic prana merges in still prana at Sahasrara chakra in love, bliss and union.

Curing Depression And Panic Attacks

Hectic lifestyles and a propensity towards diseases have given rise to cases of severe depression and panic attacks. While medicinal treatment as well as therapy is used mostly to alleviate the negative impacts and effects of these ailments, recent studies have shown that using the Indian concept of Kundalini healing can help to cure these psychological ailments permanently.

Let us begin by examining what the two interrelated illnesses of depression and anxiety signify. Studies have shown that panic attacks and accompanying depression are the most widespread psychological problems as they can manifest due to a number of reasons and can be triggered off by various factors that we encounter in daily life. Regular stressors such as traffic jams, financial worries and arguments can create a tendency towards these ailments.

According to medical data, people who are prone to anxiety have a core biological susceptibility that increases the risks. Anxiety follows a defined path. People develop a fear of a certain situation or encounter which causes them to have calamitous thoughts regarding the same. These negative thoughts continue to expand until the individual is rendered almost helpless by the fear.

Consequently, the individual tries to avoid that situation and over time, the avoidance actions as well as multiple physical symptoms of the stress become aggravated and develop into a chronic illness.

Anxiety is known to often be by accompanied by depression. Depression can be understood to be chronic levels of feelings of sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, distress and despair. The effects can cause a problem in every aspect of life, be it personal, social or professional.

The symptoms of anxiety and depression include trembling, sweating, heart palpitations, and dizziness. Breathing problems, stomach ailments and chest pains and discomfort too indicate the onset of an anxiety attack.

It is important to understand that the effects of anxiety disorders and depression, such as anger, disinterest, fear and despair also work to cause more of the same illness, thus transforming into both causes and effects.

The ailments form a vicious cycle and give rise to other lifestyle problems such as malnutrition, stress and inefficiency. Seeing as to how these illnesses can damage an individual's life in a variety of spheres, ranging from mental and emotional to social and professional, it is imperative to be able to cure them effectively.

As mentioned earlier, while medicines and therapy do help, the Kundalini form of treatment has gained much recognition and appreciation of late. While it is an extremely popular phenomenon, the method is still gaining recognition.

Let us study the concept and how it can be used to cure depression and anxiety related health issues. The term "Kundalini" is a Sanskrit word that can be literally translated to mean "coiled". It refers to a certain intuitive, subconscious, and often inherent life force that is visualized to lie coiled or curled at the base of the spine in one's body.

According to lore, the Kundalini force is to be visualized in the form of a sleeping serpent or a goddess that rests coiled at the base of the spine.

It is believed that this life force or power can be awakened as needed to combat various illnesses of the heart, mind, soul and body. By description, the Kundalini energy force is said to constitute a part of the "subtle body" covert, almost hidden components that one is not consciously aware of but can delve into, should the need arise.

It is believed that the Kundalini energy force falls into the category of bodily energy points such as the various Nadis (channels of energy) and the Chakras (the centers of energy) that are used in Yoga, Tantra, Chinese Acupuncture and other forms of alternate medicine and healing. The Chakras are all said to possess unique properties and special healing powers that can be used to overcome health problems and ensure a healthy and wholesome way of living.

The use of Kundalini techniques implies awakening this sleeping energy by the means of methods of breathing, physical exercises, chanting, visualization techniques and following a life of ascetics. The Kundalini energy is said to then travel upwards from the spine to the head, where it strengthens the mind by bringing in a state of psychological illumination and enlightenment.

Let us now study how Kundalini energy is to be used to cure depression and anxiety. It is believed that the depression is caused by confines or injured areas of the brain which could have been caused due to some arrested development.

These damaged areas are referred to as the Miasmas and it is believed that they have been caused due to some stressful factor and have been further augmented due to prolonged stress. One of the practices advised in order to be able to cure the depression is to spend significant amounts of time in the sun. It is believed that sunbathing along with sun gazing helps to lift the spirit, release the Kundalini energy and overcome the state of mental fugue that clouds the spirit and dampens hope.

Depression is also said to be caused by deficits in serotonergic levels and exhaustion of the noradrenalin adrenergic receptors. This also causes excess secretion of the hormone aldosterone which has sodium retaining properties, causing salt and fluid retain in the body. Regular exercises and intensive Yoga are to be practiced daily in natural environments in order to be able to overcome these effects of depression.

Greenery and fresh air are imperative during Yoga as they help to clear the mind and air the body, thus also lifting the spirit and battling negative thought processes.

It is said that this exercise serves as a form of movement therapy induces rehabilitation of the brain by creating new brain cells that form healthy neural connections and do away with the prior ailing ones.

This awakening of the Kundalini energy must be accompanied by a healthy and happy environment which comprises of strong bonds of love, caring and mutual trust because a happy and content frame of mind is required before being able to tackle serious problems of the brain.

Yoga For Body Building

Yoga For Building Body

Yogic stretching is beneficial for the muscle groups that do not respond to regular weight training exercises. Yoga when performed consistently it increases the strength. Strength through yogic stretching is related to an individuals Golgi tendon reflex threshold, that limits a contraction well short of the point at point which the tendons would be injured. Regular yogic stretching gives the muscles the ability to work more efficiently without shutting down in response to stretched tendon. The Golgi tendon organs are located near the end of muscle fibers; since these organs are stretch receptors so they respond to the changes in the muscles or tendon length as the muscles or the tendon is stretched or when muscle contracts rapidly. And if the intensity of the muscular contraction or stretch exceeds a critical point an immediate reflex occurs that inhibits the contraction and stretch. Immediate relaxing and removing excessive tension, without causing any injury. In other words these organs shut down the muscle to prevent any injury.

So by regular stretching your muscles and ligaments through yogic postures you can raise your Golgi tendon organ threshold gaining strength and increasing your muscle size. Higher is the Golgi tendon threshold up to more intensity you can train which leads to greater strength and stamina.

Yoga even helps you in using your stomach muscles to get into a more powerful position to work. One can even burn out the extra weight and fat on belly and can stabilize it naturally using yoga. Also you do not need to acquire the bulk as certain people think but it is a total myth.

Therefore these yogic stretching through the practice of yogic postures and asanas helps to elongate the fascia (a protective sheath made up of connectives tissue) covering all the muscles and muscle cells. So when this fascia is stretched practicing various asanas or yogic postures it provides the muscle beneath larger space to grow thus eventually leading to muscular development or body building. And even provides a better shape to the muscles. So further when these yogic postures are combined with the proper nutritious diet it not only strengthens your muscular structure but even improves your skeletal system.

Further in order to gain weight through pranayam one should perform following:

•Bhastrika Pranayam since it increases the respiration rate increasing the metabolism of the body so helping in better and more useful assimilation of necessary components from our diet and also much better elimination of various toxins in the body.

•Kapalbhati Pranayam because it strengthens the muscles of back and abdomen, increases the flexibility and strength of the muscles, ligaments and tendons. And even increases the bone density.

•Baharya Pranayam since it benefits in various abdominal disorders. And increase the rate of metabolism and eliminates toxins more efficiently.

•Anulom Vilom Pranayam.

Also in addition to this good nutritious diet and proper amount of rest should be also practiced to help muscles relax. Eventually leading to increase in muscle mass, strength and size.

Yoga Diet Healthy Diet

Yoga Diet For Good Health

Yoga as is said to be not only based completely based on exercise but it is also supported by various other components as the Diet. As also in Ayurveda it is said that if a person consumes the right diet as per season, its properties, its nutrients and also its amount it will provide its consumer the most fruitful benefits. As also the main source of energy to our body is Diet that we consume everyday. So this diet not only nourishes our body but it also nourishes our mind too with all the nutrients and properties that are made up in it.

The right type of yogic exercises should also be complemented with the right diet to produce the maximum effect and benefit. This diet helps to nourish the mind and body to keep an individual alert and energized through the day and so that we can handle everyday stress. Food or diet that we take is the center to achieve good health as it enacts as the medicine that we take everyday the helps us to build up the immune system and resist various diseases. But also this diet helps to repair the various wear and tears inside the body. There are also certain reasons in Yoga saying that occasional fasting should be practiced as it provides the digestive system rest. At first this might seem to be hard to follow as the toxins that are present in your body will be replenished. But after this phase the body shall regain its energy and vitality. As also in terms of modern science terminology a balanced or proper diet is a diet that provides all the proper nutrients that are required by the body to live for a healthy living.

But it is not just to get a diet that gives all the nutrients but what also matters is that it should be consumed in the right amount and also in the right condition and environment. As we humans our diet is also divided into three Gunas:

•Sattvic (Purity)

•Rajasa (activity)

•Tamasa (darkness or inertia)

This division of diet is due to the energy qualities that are found to be existing in equilibrium. Also as said that fasting has a great importance in yoga. As fasting provides the body discipline, control on self and determination. Also it is the belief of the yogi’s that abstinence helps to clean and rejuvenate the body. The Yoga diet is also one of the Five Principles of Yoga since eating healthy not only does provides good health but it also helps to stay fit. Thus ‘Yogic Diet’ is a perfect complementary to ‘Yogic Kariyas’. And also in this diet it is not that a person must be vegetarian only but he can be both ways.

Thus out of these three guna’s if one of them is dominant than the other two the individual or substance will acquire its features. As this can be explained in form as if an apple that is ripe it is profound to be with the Sattvic Guna; whereas if only some amount of ripening is resulted it is profound to be with Rajasic Guna and if it is overripe it is profound to be having the Tamasic Guna. Thus in common terms a food that is pure is Sattvic, food that is stimulating is Rajasic and food that is rotting, leftovers, diseased and decaying is Tamasic.

The properties can thus be summarized as:

Sattvic Diet:

This type of food is soothing and nourishing to the body and is considered to be the best source of energy to the body. Nourishes the body and maintains a peaceful state. And produces a balanced flow of energy in the body. Such food must be chewed properly and eaten in modest amount. This comprises of fresh foods, sweets, vegetables, legumes, nuts, sprouted seeds, honey and herbal teas, uncontaminated milk or milk products, nuts and whole grains. Such food gives energy and life to the body.

Rajasic Diet:

Such type of food is very stimulating to the body and can arouse emotions; these may bring about nervousness or disease. Theses type of food damages the equilibrium of mind and body; can over stimulate body making the mind uncontrollable and restless. Even eating in a hurry or with worry will produce rajasic guna. Such type of food causes circulatory disorders as high blood pressure, hardening of arteries and uric acid diseases. Etc. Spicy, processed, hot, bitter, sour, salty foods, fish, eggs, chocolates and stimulants as tea and coffee fall in this category.

Tamasic Diet:

Any food that is overripe, decaying and dead. This state or guna diet is most toxic or poison to the body and can harm the body immediately when consumed. So this diet does not benefits the mind or the body. Such food consumes away the prana or energy destroying the resistance of body and mind is filled with dark emotions, anger and greed. Even over-eating is considered to be producing Tamasic property. Foods in this category are meat, alcohol, tobacco, fermented food as vinegar, and stale overripe food. he Yogic Diet thus elevates an individual’s state of mind. If a person is experiencing lowered, depressed, agitating or distracted states of mind food that is consumed can immediately feel better.

Conflict and Peace In Our Lives

Peace, in the minds of many people, means the mere avoidance of conflict. The peace they long for is a gentle retirement in old age; a simple cottage in the mountains or by the sea; a secured income; and the certainty that any crisis that may come their way will be met with a minimum of effort and worry. Yet as often happens when men retire from a life of intense activity, only (for lack of continued challenges) to sink quickly into the pathetic senility of old age, similarly with all types of withdrawal from conflict. What begins as peace soon disintegrates in decay. The cottage in the mountains or by the sea, idyllic perhaps for a weekend, becomes a dreary prison of boredom.

Peace is one of the goals of Yoga. It is, indeed, one of the silent aspirations of every heart. The longing for peace is instinctive in all men. But the peace of the soul, dynamic, expanding to the consciousness, the very opposite of stagnation, is too easily mistaken by the worldly mind for sleep and other negative states of being that attend a surrender of one's manhood and of all desire to progress.

The Bhagavad Gita describes the entire spiritual path as a battle between the forces of light and of darkness in the consciousness of man. (The battlefield on which the discourse between Krishna and Arjuna takes place is the "field" of man's inner consciousness.) True spiritual peace is not a state into which one sinks passively-a reward for long years of suffering and tears. It is the peace, rather, of victory, of a fight well fought and of the certainty that one has overcome. It is not a wall placed protectively around one to shut out the horrors of life; it is rather a blinding light, banishing those horrors into non-existence, even as darkness is banished from a room when one turns on the electric light.

The path of progress must be seen as an overcoming. No man ever slid downhill into heaven. The path has been described, rather, as an ascent up a mountain, one which may be conquered only after many hardships. The image of Mt. Meru, or of Mt. Carmel (so often used in Christian terminology), is most descriptive of the actual ascent of consciousness that takes place in the inner man. It is no mark of spirituality never to be tempted, never to be disappointed, never to fail. These are the marks, usually, of people who have chosen ant hills, not mountains, to climb.But the mark of spiritual growth is that for every setback there is an increased determination to succeed, and that for every obstacle there is an increasing surge of energy, until at last the energy generated suffices to demolish the opposition and allows one to sail forward on the upward journey. "A saint," Paramhansa Yogananda used to say, "is a sinner who never gave up."

One of the difficulties of the spiritual path is the fact that, the nature of duality being what it is, even painful experiences have something of joy in them. Though we may not consciously enjoy them when they happen, it cannot be gainsaid that we enjoy talking about them in retrospect, that we even revel in them, once they are over. And although the opposite is true also, that a certain amount of pain lurks in all worldly happiness-the pain of knowing, for example, that a happy day today must surrender to the drabness of a normal, routine, existence tomorrow-nonetheless there is enough enjoyment in the pleasures of the moment to make one reluctant to abandon them. Man is not easily weaned from his attachment to the ebb and flow of this relative, and endlessly contradictory, world. Although spiritual joy is incomparably greater than material happiness, even the devotee is typically reluctant to give up the lower for the higher. He finds it difficult to imagine, what is in fact the case, that the very energy with which he enjoys lesser pleasures is the same that he applies to the enjoyment of undiluted, vibrant bliss in the Spirit. There is no opposite to the state of spiritual joy. There is no boredom there. Yoganandaji described the joy of God as "ever new."

Spiritual awakening is accompanied by a rising energy and consciousness in the spine. In this spiritual state, one may indeed dance, laugh, and sing with unending gladness, wrapped ever in breezes of inner joy. All joy lies in giving, in the raising of one's energy, in expansion, in the dynamic application of one's will. All peace, to be true and lasting, lies in this sort of upliftment, not in the passive "flow-with-it" consciousness that is so popular with many people nowadays.

Why cling to anything? All that man seeks awaits him in his inner Self, not as a result of merely avoiding conflicts, but as a result, rather, of overcoming them. Peace is a mind soaring in the free skies of inner consciousness.

Thus these exercises help the human eye to improve its ability to change its focus and see distant objects clearly. As with progressive age we know that the accommodative eye muscles get weakened. But if an individual continues to use and exercise these muscles regularly eye sight will remain strong throughout the life. This must be done outside with proper light available or in a well lit room. Hold a card or place it at a distance now look and read out the letters on it after a while start looking at an object at least 20 feet away e.g. a car, building or tree. Repeat this three to four times a day. Then look at an object about 20 to 30 feet away than the first object. Repeat the eye movements back and forth at least three times. Continue to do looking at objects to a further distance.

Accommodation Exercise for Eye (Improving the near vision):

Pick up a distant object at the distance of 20 feet or more and hold in your hands letters in black clear enough to be seen. Hold a card at the eye level at arms length. Now look at the distant object for few moments now move your eyes back to the letter on the card. Further now look towards outside as far as you can for a while now look back at your card for a while repeat this in same way by first looking at the card and the at a distance further then the previous. And then at a point when you stop seeing or vision is blurred now close your eyes for a few moments relaxing them.

Now begin rubbing your hands and palms together with each other so they get warm enough now place these palms onto each of your eyes. Relaxing and enchanting “OM”.

Eyes easily can tell us that they have had enough of the staring at the computer monitor or the TV screen. As also when you are working your eyes do not tend to blink as much as they do normally. And so they tend to become dry. Also working for a long period in front of the computer screen tends to limit the movement of the eye balls. Therefore to be relieved from this eye strain following measures can be followed as mentioned or described in yogic exercises or asanas.

For eye strain produced while viewing TV open your eyes wide as wide as possible and now relax your face. Count for a moment. Doing so look towards your right for a few seconds and then look towards your left again for a few seconds. Now look towards the upper right for few seconds and then look towards your upper left for a few seconds. Now look straight upwards for a few seconds and then downwards straight for a few seconds. Do this as many times as possible.

Yoga is a great physical as well as mental science that serves not only the purpose to provide strength to the body but also to the brain. It has powers as healing particularly due to the property that it reinforces the immune system. For individual suffering from cancer yoga can be a real source of empowerment as it is practiced by yourself. In yoga physical postures are regularly practiced in for of asanas. That not only stimulates but also brings a balance in all the systems in the body may it be respiratory, circulatory, reproductive, digestive, nervous, endocrine, muscular, and urogenital.

Cancer is a very broad and complex illness which results in the weakening of the immune system that cannot cope up with the proliferation of the damaged cells. Therefore yoga is not a cure for cancer but strengthens the immune system and encourages the inner healing forces in various ways as following:

•Through relaxation as it calms down the nervous system decreasing the stress and anxiety which resulted in lowering of immune functioning and hindering healing. But when yoga is practiced all these obstacles are removed.

•Through breathing exercise by improving the respiration rate releasing ouit the tension and restoring the balance and calmness.

•Through meditation as it helps to develop detachment and clarity of thoughts that enables you to acknowledge and accept the reality and cope up with your fears.

•Through physical postures as it helps to clear out the toxins, increasing the energy levels enhancing the functioning of our internal organs and systems.

Thus although there is no clear evidence that yoga can cure or prevent any type of cancer but studies have revealed that it might help people with cancer to sleep better and cope up with anxiety.
