Having the Right Posture

Posture is an essential part of meditating. The best posture for meditation is to sit cross-legged with a straight back. You can lie down if you want but this posture is more likely to make you feel sleepy while meditating. In addition, do not eat a heavy meal before you meditate. The more comfortable you are, the easier it is for you to begin meditating.

YOGIC PERSPECTIVE OF DIET.

We are what we eat. This statement is true in more senses than one. Food is of course necessary for our physical well being. But as well as this is also has a subtle effect on our mind. Food not only sustains life; it influences one’s attitude toward life .Proper diet is one of the important steps in the yogic approach to life.
All creatures in this universe need food for their existence. They intuitively know what type of food is best for them. We need food in order to live thus we have a desire to eat. We are capable of choosing what we like to eat and how much we should eat. But there is another aspect of eating for which we have no innate judgmental selection of an adequate diet. Eating is as essential port of every one’s daily life and while food fulfils essential physiological needs and the process of eating and drinking serve other functions too .Social, psychological and emotional .
The yogic way eating is quite simple and the most natural. As per yoga, various foods can be grouped in to three major categories based on their effect on the human body and mind. Energy has three qualities, known as gunas that exist together in equilibrium (1) Satvic (Purity), (2) Rajas (activity), (3) Tamas (darkness)

(1) Satvic food
This is the purest diet, the most suitable one for any yoga sadak. This type of food includes nuts, fruits vegetable, milk curd, butter milk, dates, honey, nuts, seeds and sprouted seeds. Satvic food promotes mental, physical and spiritual balance and positive thoughts. A satvic food thus leads to true health.

(2) Rajasic food.
These foods are very hot, bitter, sour, dry and salty. Various types of sweets, cookies, ghee, butter, fried vegetables, meat, eggs and fish etc. They destroy the mind and body equilibrium and will over stimulate the body.
(3) Tamasic .
Tamasic food is called killer diet also. A tamasic diet benefits neither the mind nor the body. The body’s resistance to disease is destroyed and mind filled with dark emotions, such as anger and greed. This food is toxic and causes irritation and harm to the body as well as mind. Tamasic items include meat, alcohol, tobacco and fermented foods etc. To know more visitwww.yogagurusuneelsingh.com Pic by vijay gautam

You can avoid heart problems in the future by adopting a healthy lifestyle today. Here are five heart disease prevention tips to get you started.

Exercise for 30 minutes
Getting some regular, daily exercise can reduce your risk of fatal heart disease. And when you combine physical activity with other lifestyle measures, such as maintaining a healthy weight, the payoff is even greater.
Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce your chances of developing other conditions that may put a strain on your heart, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also reduces stress, which may be a factor in heart disease.

IN YOGA ALSO CARELESSNESS LEADS TO AN ACCIDENT

IN YOGA ALSO CARELESSNESS LEADS TO AN ACCIDENT
While discussing about yoga the names of swamis and Gurus occupy the mind. Yoga and the yogis are the integral part of Indian culture. While the whole India is following the yoga and the whole world has been influenced by it, we cannot ignore the importance of medical science, because in order to maintain balance between Man and the nature the medical science has been carrying out researches on various subjects .The inclusion of Yoga in the yoga education was not due to our being physical believer, because our yoga teachers knew it better than us that the human body is mortal. Human body is made of earthly objects and one day or the other it has got to be destroyed.
. Being a practitioner of yoga I know that the perfection is achieved through continuous practicing of it. I am not yet so much perfect that I can claim to be a yoga specialist. It is well known fact that yoga education is gained through long and continuous practice. As a simple practitioner of Yoga, I would like to caution about few ill affects of the Yoga if not done properly and educate people on it..
It should be well understood that in Ashtang Yoga. Asana and Pranayama are the only two wings. They have their own importance. But these are not the replacements of Yoga. These are the steps to prove yoga and its relation is to awake the body strength. Today the various yoga gurus have piled up the camps of yoga and have taken so called responsibility to cure the people, but have not alerted the people from its implications. Even carelessness in Yoga leads to accidents.
Our country has given many gurus to the society, out of them I would like to explain about Swami Dhirendra Brahamchari Ji. Swami Dhirendra Brahamchari treated yoga as science and through out his life he treated himself as a yoga practitioner and not a yoga expert. He used to say that Dharma is protected by Yoga, without yoga, knowledge is impossible and without knowledge attaining moksha (salvation) is impossible. During his life-time his followers followed him and they spread his teaching to the people all over the world.
Carelessness in Yoga exercises will surely lead to the damages. For example if a person is suffering from heart ailment, high Blood Pressure, Gastric, Hernia and strokes etc.They should not practice kapal bhati pranayama and if he and she continues to do it the ailment can increase and even can cause death to the person. Similarly Sheetali pranayama and Sheetkari Pranayam is prohibited for the patients of Low Blood Pressure, Asthma and heart patient, pregnant ladies and patients of Hernia and Ulcer. They should not practice Bhujang Asana, Ushtrasana and Matsya Asana.
We should understand it fully well that yoga is not the replacement of our life but is a part of it, as we can never ignore the existence of medical science. Because the medical science has the remedies for disease like Cancer, HIV positive, AIDS, Parkinson’s, etc. And researches are going on to find out the remedies for the other complicated ailments. Now therefore the time has come that we proceed ahead keeping in mind the importance of medical science and the care to be taken while practicing yoga. Yoga is a continuous process and should be practiced under the supervision of an expert in day to day life. Because it can only be learned and perfected by daily practice. Through this write-up my aim is only to caution the people that carelessness in practicing yoga will surely lead to an accident. To know more log on www.yogagurusuneelsingh.com
