PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE.
हेयम् दुःखम् अनागतम् ¡
“Heyam dukham anagatam” is a key Sanskrit phrase from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (2.16) meaning “the pain which is yet to come is avoidable,” emphasizing proactive prevention of future suffering by eliminating its root causes (like ignorance, or avidya while workingwithinbody), rather than just dealing with present or past pain, often through awareness, conscious action of voluntarymuscles, mindfulness in yogic postures .
To achive this state of Health
“अथ योगानुशासनम्” that says One’s Jouney in yoga begins only when one has tried everthing and failed to achieve health which is prerequisite in this path . Yoga needs systematic step by step approach to bring certain decipline or awareness in one’s life.It is not merely philosophical or therorical tool but a practical science ” anubhut dnyana”.
Sutra 1.14: स तु दीर्घ-काल-नैरन्तर्य-सत्कार-सेवितो दृढ-भूमिः
Sa tu dîrgha-kâla-nairantarya-satkârâsevito drdha-bhûmih;
When this practice is done for a long time, and with sincere devotion, then the practice becomes a firmly rooted, stable, and solid foundation.
Daily, regular ,sincere, dedicated practice of yogasana with mindfulness will lead to a solid foundation from which we can grow ourselves and deeper level practice. It is to experience a unique Journey to inner discovery, In my own Anubhuti i experienced it is inner adventurous journey.
देशबन्धश्चित्तस्य धारणा : desa-bandhas cittasya dhârañâ. That is in Asana binding or concentrating mind ( dharana) in physical state of body that is (desh),in specific area to move muscles which are only movers under our will and command we can bring physical stability to achieve state of ease. For which repeated continuation, or uninterrupted stream of Conscious movement of muscular architecture with their primitive innate movement is the only key to win the state of meditative poses .
“As we navigate the post-COVID era, it’s essential to adapt and build resilience against emerging health challenges. By prioritizing prevention and nurturing our body’s natural defenses, we can strengthen our organ systems and evolve strong healthy towards optimal well-being.”
Have any one ever noticed how Extension of our spine in Forward Extension postures have a unique ability to settle the mind and body and give us a feeling of safety and calm?
- They help to stimulate parasympathetic functioning that is the rest and digest response .
- This also promoting calm and introspection which
Help to recover sleep deprive and insomnia.
*Improve our digestion and function of reproductive organs.
*This helps harmonise our hormonal secreation..
*This improves our nervous, blood and lymphatic circulation pathways.Which definitely helps to improve our immune system.
*This will keep us energetic whole day without mental fatigue.
This pose will prevent us from many more diseases.
Forward extensions one of very important movement which have many more benefits.
This can make our Species evolve further.
Yes but only if one makes efforts regularly,sincerily and in right direction to go deeper levels.
One has to learn the technique and secret behind these poses and follow basic principles strictly.
Some of the benefits below- –
*They help to expand our vertebral column along with expansion ribcage in all directions.This tecneque one has to learn.
Once we conquer this , then we don’t have to bothered much about sitting is killing / sitting is next to smoking and seems standing didn’t help much and keep moving has not proved to make us healthy any more much.
Some of the benefits below- –
*They help to expand our vertebral column along with expansion ribcage in all directions.This tecneque one has to learn.
One thing I have to mainsion here is that , genarally people who has flexible joints that is loose capsule and laxity in ligaments . Their postures always looks good from outside , we won’t be able to see hump on their back visually.Going into any form is easy for them.
But these type of flexibility has got no meanings where health is concerned. As anatomical distortion at the level of atom leads to physiological functions.
One has to always Remember that , even if we have loose joints or stiff joints. We have to work on basic principle that flow of movement of Musculature and that has to be conscious and in right direction. This is only mediam Which can make inner forces strong and inner environment healthy whatever the condition outside our own body.
Joints are only for giving directions and main movers are our voluntary musculature – totally under our will.
Once we have the ability to expand vertically and horizontally with their natural habitat to elongate the spinal column with rotational movement of both girdles. Then we have the key for not only just relieving neck – back pain or any other pain but improve
To remove its root cause needs to train them in their natural sequential order and specific direction of movement is most essential to improve and live disease free and healthy life. Further we can do very safe and effective hyper extension ( not back bending where we break weak links ) of spinal column postures under expert guidance only.
Beauty of these forward Extension –
*They help create length and space in each consecutive Vertebrae to counteract compression,
“From head and tail we have to expand our Paraspinal musculature without compressing our column from back and front side.
- Expanding our superficial wings like muscles for expansion of ribcage.
*The way we make efforts in forward expansion helps to creat spaces in all body cavities like chest – abdomen – pelvis cavities and skull cavities.
*One must understand relationship of vertebral spaces and these body cavities situated in front side of our spine
*Understand relationship between role of extremity and our central axis is most important factor to work within.This definitely helps for regeneration process against degenaration of cells for genetic evolution.
What I have always observed.
People do common mistakes while doing forward bending . The word bending itself says about extra stress on vertibral column where compression is more.
First , They never bother taking care of weak sports in our spine.where our curvature changes.They break these spots and bring more pressure on our vertibral column in many forward and backward bending poses.
This leads towards distortion of joints and body cavities. Which brings Chaos within our own body.Where we loose our Immunity.
This leads towards degeneration of tissues at Very early age.
Root causes of many more health issues and diseases which get ignored easily.
Be Aware, Be alert, Be Conscious…
How one works on physical body matters most.Our every action has got reaction right or wrong. And we are adapting ourselves wrongly instead we should adapt ourselves to be healthy, our own improved version. Isn’t it so …
