  • Props to Support Your Meditation Posture
    Using (More) Props to Support Your Meditation Posture Whether one sits in full lotus, half lotus, siddhasana (accomplished pose) or sukhasana (easy posture), in a chair or on your knees, most all the major texts that discuss asana advise keeping the head, neck, and torso aligned during seated meditation and breath practices. But what does that mean? Should the back be flat or curved? Should we use muscular strength to stay aligned, or should it feel effortless? At the beginning of most of my yoga and meditation classes, I try to address such confusion by asking students to gather whatever props are needed to achieve the same upper-body alignment in a seated posture that they do in tadasana (mountain pose). They are often surprised at the number of props they need in order to find a similar sense of effortlessness. Most people need at least one bolster and a couple of blankets before they can access their natural lumbar (lower back) curve, with their head resting lightly atop the spine and their chin above the notch between the collarbones. Students’ initial surprise is frequently followed by their astonishment at being able to comfortably remain in a seated posture for so long. This could prove helpful for meditation, don’t you think? Even so, we often resist props. We don’t like the fuss, and we don’t want to put them away later. We may view our need for them as a handicap, or we think we should be actively stretching even in meditation—which is really a time for letting go of body focus and moving inward.

    Yoga Therapy By Kate Mandlik “Teach yoga, heal everyone, help them, and when one realizes the Self, everything happens.” - Swami Satyananda Saraswati ~ 1 ~ Yoga Therapy Contents Yogic Perspective of Disease 3 Ashram Lifestyle 5 Pranayam 6 Cleansing Techniques 14 Bandhas 26 Mudras 36 Yoga for Knee Problems 45 Chair Yoga 46 Yoga for the Eyes 57 Psychological Problems 61 Yogic View and Treatment for Psychological Problems 65 Depression – Yoga Perspective 69 The Yogic Diet 72 Case Taking 74 ~ 2 ~ Yogic Perspective of Disease Man today is sick because he thinks he is sick. We stand hypnotized by the belief that disease and illness is our fate and destiny, rather than health and bliss, which are truly our birthright and heritage… Swami Satyananda All schools of yoga view disease as the physical manifestation of an imbalance between material and spiritual life. They differ on the specific nature of the imbalance and therefore the approach to curing it. Hatha View According to the Hatha yoga perspective disease is caused by an imbalance of ida (mind) & pingala (body) nadis. Yoga considers health in terms of prana (life force). The moment prana is not present, death ensues. Just the absence of disease does not mean that there is good health. Positive health means balanced prana; negative health happens whenever there is an imbalance in prana. The objective of the yoga journey is to master prana. Prana flows through the nadis, when these are blocked this leads to ill health. When the blockage is resolved/cleared, prana flows freely and positive health is restored. There can be an imbalance of prana without the manifestation of disease.

Tips a nd Tec hniques When a Sanskrit word is written using s, English letter it is transliteration called . Since the set of vowels and consonants in Sanskrit are different from those of English, reading transliterated Sanskrit can be a challenge. The following tips and techniques p will hel you read transliterated Sanskrit, and help you get an idea of how it should be pronounced. Before y ou b egin It is very useful to take a moment and clear your mind of any notions of how to pronounce a transliterated Sanskrit t word. Jus focus on the word in front of you and try not to lengthen vowels or stress a syllable based on past habits or other influences. Tip 1: Kn ow t he l ong a nd s hort v owel sounds In English, a vowel sound can either be short (e.g. foot) or long (e.g. cool). Sanskrit also short has and long vowel . sounds The problem is, it is hard to find out just by looking at the spelling, which vowel s is long and which one i short. Let’s take an example: a yoga posture is called ‘asana’ in Sanskrit. If you make the second ‘a’ long, then it becomes ‘a-­‐saa-­‐na’, which is incorrect. If you ’ make the first ‘a long, then it becomes ‘aa-­‐sa-­‐ na’, which is correct. In this document, we will write long vowels , using uppercase letters and short vowels using lower-­‐case letters.
