  • Can One Achieve Self-Realization Through Asana Practice? | Dharma Mittra
    Can One Achieve Self-Realization Through Asana Practice? | Dharma Mittra by Dharma Mittra June 13, 2013 0 Like 180 Share Tweet “A qualified yoga teacher will know which practice is fit for each student.”~ Yogi Sri Dharma Mittra Some Answers From Yogi Sri Dharma Mittra – Interview By Adam Frei Adam Frei: For many practitioners today, yoga seems to mean Asana practice. Are you concerned over this trend? Can people achieve Self-realization just through Asana practice? Dharma Mittra: Asanas are an aid to facilitate the journey to Self-realization within the yoga system. The postures are designed to induce a specific state of consciousness according to their geometric shape. In actual practice, certain Asanas are combined with Mudras, Bandhas, Pranayama, visualizations and intense attention on some of the Chakras or glands, etc., thus enhancing mental abilities (concentration). But, Asanas are unable to destroy the subtle impurities of the mind that only keeping Yama (the Ethical Laws) and Niyama (the Yogic Observances) can. Yama and Niyama are the first and second steps of Ashtanga or Classical Eight-limbed Yoga and, without keeping them, there can be no Self- realization or true success in yoga. Based on what I’ve observed teaching for almost 50 years now, I would guess that only 1 out of 10 yoga students are really seeking Self-realization. The others are busy and very active with the Asanas just for the sake of improving their health, physique, mental powers and, up to some degree, their self-control also. All of this activity is engaged in for one purpose: so that they can better cope with their personal stuff so as to reduce their overall pain and suffering.

  • Yoga and Seasonal Affective Disorder
    Yoga and Seasonal Affective Disorder Oak Tree, Snowtorm by Ansel Adams Niki Ludington Prairie Yoga 200 Hour Foundation Teacher Training 2011-2012 0 The photographs of famed artist Ansel Adams are a breathtakingly beautiful tribute to nature and the seasons. His talent at capturing the mood of the gray winter months has made his work widely respected and popular. His photograph Oak Tree, Snowstorm printed on the title page of this thesis is an example of his work. Some people may look at the photo and be awed by the beauty and splendor of the gray shadows and snow. However, others may have a very different reaction. They may look at the photo and be reminded of the nightmare of depression, fatigue, lethargy, and hopelessness they feel each year during the winter months. These people may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder and the intent of this thesis is to explore how yoga can help them. What is Seasonal Affective Disorder? Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of major depression that corresponds to seasonal changes during the year. People with SAD generally experience recurring depression beginning in late fall or early winter, which alternates with periods of a high or normal mood during the rest of the year. SAD is linked to the changing levels of light during the year. SAD is described as an “energy crisis” in which many physical and mental functions of the body are affected. Typical characteristics of SAD are: oversleeping or disturbed sleep, daytime fatigue, increased cravings for carbohydrates, weight gain, difficulty concentrating and processing information.

A CHAIR BASED YOGA WORKSHOP FOR SELF-CARE AND STRESS MANAGEMENT FOR SOCIAL WORKERS AND MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS Abstract ABSTRACT This dissertation is a continuing education unit (CEU) course that teaches social workers and other mental health professionals how to cultivate resiliency and enhance self-care through the ancient practice of yoga. The course explores emerging research that reveals how yoga and other mindfulness-based practices can positively impact neurochemistry and brain biology. Most of the yoga positions and breathing exercises are practiced from a chair and can be adapted to any level of flexibility and fitness level. Designed to make yoga accessible for everyone, the techniques are gentle and available to individuals with various physical abilities, including participants who may be in a wheelchair. The program is experiential in nature but also includes power point slides and traditional classroom style instruction.

  • Pain Management Center Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program
    Pain Management Center Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program Home Practice Workbook: Awareness of Breathing Noticing the Physical Sensation of Breathing Locate where in your body you notice the physical sensation of breathing most prominently. That physical location will become the anchor point for your attention. Notice the sensations of the inhale, and then the exhale. Conscious Breathing Repeating silently to yourself: “Breathing in, I am aware I am breathing in. Breathing out, I am aware I am breathing out.” Counting the Breath Use silent labelling of the stages of the breath to help anchor attention. During the inhale, silently say “one.” During the exhale: “two.” During the next inhale: “three,” and so on, up to ten. Then return to one. If you lose your focus, return to one, without judging yourself! Candle Breathing Using the fingers of one hand as “five candles,” or perhaps just the index finger as “one candle,” imagine that you are systematically and gently blowing on the “flame,” but not so forcefully as to extinguish it. Continue, inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth onto “the flame.” MP3 Links to Sitting Meditations (Additional files guided by Jon Kabat-Zinn sent via email) 45 minutes • (Florence) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/Guided_Sitting_Meditation_FMM.mp3 • (Lynn) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/Sitting_Meditation_Lynn_Koerbel.mp3 • (Bob) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/stahl/sitting-meditation.mp3 30 minutes • (Florence) https://Multimedia.umassmed.edu/cfm/Florence_Guided_Sitting_Meditation_30min.mp3 ©2014 Stanford Health Care Pain Management Center 1 Pain Management Center Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program Home Practice Workbook: Body Scan The Body Scan is intended to raise awareness of the body by using it as the focus for practicing mindfulness.

  • Beginning the Journey: Living the Yamas of Patanjali
    9/10/13 Judith Hanson Lasater Beginning the Journey: Living the Yamas of Patanjali When our children were young, my husband and I would occasionally summon up enough courage to take them out for dinner. As we stood outside the selected restaurant, one of us would stare down into their upturned innocent faces and remind them, to “be good” or we would leave the restaurant. This warning was only mildly successful until one day my husband reasoned out a more effective approach. He explained and I agreed that telling the children to “be good” was just too vague; we needed to be specific. With this revelation in mind, on our next outing we stopped before entering a restaurant and reminded them of these specifics, “Stay in your chair; don’t throw food, and do not yell. If you do any of these things, one of us will take you out of the restaurant at once.” We gave them clear guidelines and immediate consequences to stepping over the line. We had stumbled upon a very effective technique and it worked like a charm. Each child tested the limit once, was quickly taken out, and after a very short time we had restaurant-capable children. Similarly, we as students of yoga are interested in learning the guidelines (discipline) and welcome the consequences (health and self-awareness) that come with the practices of yoga. Interesting, the author of the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali, actually presents an approach to the study of yoga which is similar and of course older to what my husband and I took.

  • Dhyana in Hinduism
    Dhyana in Hinduism Dhyana (IAST: Dhyāna) in Hinduism means contemplation and meditation.[1] Dhyana is taken up in Yoga exercises, and is a means to samadhi and self- knowledge.[2] The various concepts of dhyana and its practice originated in the Vedic era of Hinduism, and the practice has been influential within the diverse traditions of Hinduism.[3][4] It is, in Hinduism, a part of a self-directed awareness and unifying Yoga process by which the yogi realizes Self (Atman, soul), one's relationship with other living beings, and Ultimate Reality.[3][5][6] Dhyana is also found in other Indian religions such as Buddhism and Jainism. These developed along with dhyana in Hinduism, partly independently, partly influencing each other.[1] The term Dhyana appears in Aranyaka and Brahmana layers of the Vedas but with unclear meaning, while in the early Upanishads it appears in the sense of "contemplation, meditation" and an important part of self-knowledge process.[3][7] It is described in numerous Upanishads of Hinduism,[8] and in Patanjali's Yogasutras - a key text of the Yoga school of Hindu philosophy.[9][10] A statue of a meditating man (Jammu and Kashmir, India).
