When you practice this breath, visualize your skull filling with a bright light This cleansing breath can help you not only release stress and toxins from the mind and body, it can also help release negative emotions, shake off sluggishness, and energize The Shatkarmas Kapalbhati pranayama is considered to be one of the shatkarmas… The Shatkarma or the six purification techniques in Hatha Yoga are designed to make the body strong and healthy. • ‘Shat’ means six and ‘Karma’ here means a method or technique. • Shatkarmas are considered preparatory steps towards higher practices of pranayama and meditation. The ancient Rishis recognized the importance of a healthy body for all activities, whether worldly or spiritual. Hatha Yoga, as explained in the text ‘Hatha Yoga Pradapika’, is aimed at making the body and mind fit for higher practices of Raja Yoga. The Shatkarmas are said to make the body clean and strong, free of diseases, remove toxins and improve concentration. They can also improve the flow of prana into the organs and the pranic meridians or nadis. The six techniques are • Dhauti • Basti • Neti • Trataka • Nauli • Kapalbhati 3 Pranayama The fourth limb of the eightfold path is Pranayama, which is related to the flow of prana - or ‘life force’ - throughout our body. The most effective way to influence this movement of prana to bring about the "ultimate quietness" (in our physical and mental bodies) is through the breath. Pranamaya is often neatly divided into two words – prana & yama • Prana meaning 'life force' or 'energy source' • Yama meaning 'control' or 'restraint’. • In this respect ‘pranayama’ can translated into 'breath control'. However, the same word may be differently divided into prana & ayama. • Where Yama means to 'restrain' or 'control', Ayama means the opposite - i.e. to not do that. • So this means that in a Pranayama practice, we are not in fact trying to control the prana, but instead to free it. Whatever the interpretation, there's no doubt that a regular and sustained practice of Pranayama not only ‘supercharges’ our entire body but prepares our mind for deep meditation. Some oF the mental beneFits oF Kapalbhati include • Sensitization and purification of the whole body system • Removes distraction from the mind – brings stillness and mental clarity • Energizes the mind – removing lethargy • Gives initial taste of breathlessness when we release the breath due to the purifying of the system • Connects us with internal energy – sometimes feel a buzz after practice On a physical level this practice cleanses the lungs, bronchial tubes and pretty much all the tissues of the body as the blood is cleansed due to the action of the exhale! Some oF the physical beneFits oF Kaplabhati include • Relaxes abdominal tension • Cleanses the lungs – good for asthmatics, bronchitis, respiratory problems • Balances and strengthens the nervous system • Tones digestive organs • Clears mucus and the sinuses • Cleanses the frontal lobe of the brains 4 Kapalbhati and the Frontal lobe oF the brain Andre Van Lysbeth a Belgian Yoga Teacher and author of many books found that (use hand gesture to explain here) • During normal inhalation – fluid around the brain is compressed – BRAIN CONTRACTS • During exhalation – fluid is decompressed – BRAIN EXPANDS • Thus Kapalbhati increases this massaging effect stimulating the brain 3 to 7 times more This explains the many benefits practicing this amazing breathing practice brings – especially if we focus our awareness of this expansion and contraction at the forehead as the name Kapal suggests! The part of the brain at the front of the skull is called the frontal lobe • The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls important cognitive skills in humans, such as emotional expression, problem solving, memory, language, judgment, and sexual behavior. • It is, in essence, the “control panel” of our personality and our ability to communicate. • It’s also responsible for primary motor function, or our ability to consciously move our muscles, and the two key areas related to speech. • The frontal lobe is larger and more developed in humans than in any other organism. As its name indicates, the frontal lobe is at the front of the brain. The right hemisphere of the frontal lobe controls the left part of the body, and vice versa. This further explains why the Yogis felt that Kapalbhati balanced our energetic body • Purifying and balancing Ida (left side) and Pingala (right side) • Also balancing all three the doshas (constitutions) – Kapha (mucus) – Pitta (bile) – Vata (wind) Contra-Indications Kapalabhati should not be practiced by pregnant or menstruating women. It is also contraindicated for individuals with high or low blood pressure, heart disease, hernia, gastric ulcer, epilepsy, vertigo, migraine headaches, significant nosebleeds, detached retina, glaucoma, history of stroke, and for anyone who has undergone recent abdominal surgery. If you experience vertigo during or after this practice, please discontinue until you can consult with a qualified yoga teacher. 5 Kapalbhati – the technique It’s a great preparatory breathing practice that prepares the body for other more complex breathing practices – partly due to its purifying qualities and also due to the strength it encourages in the abdominal muscles. The breathing practice itself reverses the natural action of the breath, which means the brain centres that control normal breathing function become more versatile. This has shown to reduce the activity of the brain, stilling fluctuation & bringing a sense of calm and ease …. • In normal circumstances the inhalation is active and the exhalation is passive (meaning it happens automatically as a result of the inhalation) • However with Kapalbhati we consciously and actively draw the abdominal muscles towards the spine on a forceful exhalation which pushes the air out of the lungs by rapidly lifting the diaphragm and then simply allow the diaphragm to release which pulls the air passively back into the lungs • The trick to keeping the breath steady is to allow a slight pause after each rapid exhale so that the diaphragm relaxes fully ready for the next exhalation • If we don’t allow for this pause then the breath will eventually run out We can use this reverse action to our advantage when practicing - we can imagine when practicing all thoughts that we wish to release being expelled along with the exhalation – clearing space and freedom in the mind. Breaking the Practice oF Kapalbhati doWn into small stages Sit in a comfortable position where you can keep the back upright and the abdomen long – this can be either in a cross legged or kneeling position on the floor, using any props that might be appropriate – or sat on a straight backed chair with your feet flat on the floor. Whatever position you choose you should be able to maintain it without effort so as to focus on the breathing practice …. Practice 1 – helps to get used to the muscles at play • Simply contract the abdominal wall slowly and feel it pull all the way back towards the spine • Slowly release the muscles until they are fully relaxed Practice 2 – introducing the breath • Exhale slow and long through the nose whilst contracting the abdominal muscles as above • Let the abdomen release without actively inhaling and you will feel the breath being drawn into the body as the diaphragm releases 6 Practice 3 – with a forceful exhalation • Exhale forcefully through the nose and at the same time contract the abdominal muscles • Let the abdomen release to allow the air back into the lungs Remember we are reversing the natural action of the breath so don’t worry if it’s a little confusing to begin with ;) Practice 4 – steady rhythm, I breathe per second • Now that you have the mechanics of the practice take 3 x 10 breaths • Always pause to absorb the benefits of the practice in between rounds • Remember the trick to keeping the breath steady is to allow a slight pause after each rapid exhale so that the diaphragm relaxes fully ready for the next exhalation Our focus when practicing should be held at the point between the eyebrows – each time we take a strong exhalation we endeavor to feel this breath being released from deep within the centre of the head, letting go of all we no longer need. The action of the breath comes from the abdomen, which helps to tone & cleanse the digestive and respiratory systems keeping our energetic centres at the navel (personal power) and the chest (emotional self) clear and bright …. 7 Daily Kapalabhati Practice The important thing to remember for this exercise is that your inhale is passive and your exhale is the forceful, powerful movement. Start this practice at a slow pace, and with time you can build some speed if it feels comfortable for you to do so. • Sit comfortably in an upright posture and rest your hands on your lower belly or in a mudra (hand gesture) of your choice. If you’re sitting in a chair, make sure to place both feet on the ground. • Take a deep, cleansing breath before you begin, in through your nose and out through your mouth. • Inhale deeply through your nose, filling your belly with air about ¾ way full.

  • Detoxification and Traditional Hatha Yoga(New)
    Detoxification in Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda By Mas Vidal Introduction The Hatha Yoga Pradipika (HYP) is a unique text of the Nath yogis that enumerates some interesting methods for purifying the body. Swami Svatmarama, the chief disciple of Swami Goraknath authored it during the medieval period. Evidently, Matsyendranath, founder of the Nath (synonym for Shiva) cult along with Goraknath understood clearly the importance of mind- body purification as requisites for spiritual evolution and thus created a six-fold system (shat- karma) of detoxification. This popular yoga text is composed of four chapters. In brief, the first chapter deals with postural yoga (asana); chapter two deals with the six actions of purification (shatkarma and pranayama); chapter three describes the physical gestures and energy locks (mudras and bandhas), and chapter four discusses spiritual liberation (samadhi). The placement of the shat-karmas (purification practices) in the second chapter prior to the last chapter on samadhi (liberation) indicates the importance of having a clean bodily house to attain spiritual freedom. This article highlights the correlation the detoxifying actions described in chapter two of the HYP with those mentioned in the main Ayurvedic text, Charaka Samhita. Interestingly, the HYP methods have much in common with those used in Ayurveda, yoga’s sister science of self-healing. Similarly, Ayurvedic mastermind Charaka, devised a five-fold system (pancha karma) for purification of the doshas (vata, pitta & kapha) to improve the mind-body relationship. The concept of detoxification, which boldly appears in both yoga and ayurvedic systems, demonstrates a long history of inter-connectedness between the two sciences.

  • Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions 1
    Exploring the Science of Marma - An Ancient Healing Technique - Part 3: Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions Alka Mishra*, Vandana Shrivastava Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Gayatrikunj-Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India *Corresponding Author: Alka Mishra - Email: [email protected] License information for readers: This paper is published online under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License, whose full terms may be seen at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Uploaded online: 27 June 2020 Abstract Marma Science is an extremely important branch of Ayurveda. Marma points are important vital places in the body, that are the ‘seats of life’ (Prana - the vital life force). As any injury to these parts may lead to severe pain, disability, loss of function, loss of sensation, or death, therefore, they hold an important place in the science of surgery, wherein they are considered ‘Shalya Vishayardha’ (half of the entire science of surgery). The ancient scriptures have strictly directed against causing any injury to these vital spots. However, recent researches have attempted the stimulation of Marma points for theraputic benefits, with encouraging outcomes. In view of these mutually conflicting, importance applications of Marma Science, the present study was undertaken for its in-depth study. Part-1 of this study presented the information about different aspects of Marma Science in various ancient / classical Indian scriptures. Part-2 gave a detailed description of the number of marmas, their location, structures involved, classification, effect of trauma, etc., as per classical texts, as well as correlation with modern science.
