Hello samaredyys
[quote=samareddys;17426]Hi Crore,
am thankfull to u,
intresting is BNS iyenger speach and chakras.[/quote]
Indeed.
about these chakras I am learning them in SAHAJA YOGA, it works perfectly when a persons trust his effort with consious mind.
Very true. It is the will and intention that matters,not the pink bunnies you’re imagining flowing up and down the sushumna.
–> thats exactly right what you said , marked in BOLD , should be a place , teacher, yoga which should be with what am going through.
getting someone that actually cares is good.
-> can u explain more about somatic excercise series( hanna somatics), --: as you mentioned your one side got weakend, its the same that I was explaining you that , in my case also it happened,
I’d love to.This is a pet subject of mine at the moment,because of what it has done for me and continues to …
--------- this is explained very well in the YOGA of 7chakras and 3 lines(NADI`s, might be a other word) , so the left becomes weaker at first with NEGATIVE THINKINGS, and PAST(sadnes, grief and etc…, as per SAHAJA yoga) related.
nadi shodhana I would suggest done safely which to me means slowly and deeply----no forcing. the breath is a poweful thing and affects all systems. you are in effect regulating the respiratory and/or pranic systems.
my left side body gets much stress than right side , when explained about this to my doctors , they say that, this kind of things doesnt exist in SCIENCE.
healing is both an art and a science.if only some of these idiots,not all of them, were taught that in college. problem is they often don’t lok deeply enough, tight on resources and don’t allocate sufficient time and energy t each patient.
–> am not expecting much from YOGA or what am doing now but am expecting much to learn more(abt yoga, meditation and spiritual) in my life.
One can contemplate God through the breath. Good to hear you are xploring pranayama yoga to heal yourself.
I’d be happy to show you specific HANNA SOMATIC EXCERCISES to complement e very gentle and mindful pranayam practice. as it is a powerful tool. HS can teach one to work with least effort,as this is a founding principle.
when you experience Hanna Somatics, you will get the WOW feeling- that actually works—Blimey!!!, especially the first time you do it, just like hatha yoga.
i can give you plenty of guidance- you can read recent post on how to self-pandiculate most effectively, as my technqiue has changed a little after talking to another practitioner recently, as they all have slightly different approaches and empahases.
But Lesson2( the criscross & straight forward curl- for the withdrawal response- or red-light reflex- deals with fear and anxiety- & 3 of the Cat stretch -side-bending- the first 4 lessons are good for everyone. Don’t do it like most folk do it in a gym. Slowly,midfully with least amount of effort.
Then pandiculate, in your comfrot zoone, strongly enough to feel and sense themuslce but not too much so as to induce potential spasm ,at peak point of contraction.
Then relax the DELIBERATE contraction, and simulataneously that elicited also by the movment .Automatically lengthening and a drop in muscle tonus occurs.
Here is the theory and you can actually feel it----- you’ve just sent a signal to the brain and amplified a new sensory -motor circuit that unfortunately was in a dormant asleep state. Your brain has woken up.And you get that adjustment, in your skeleton, just by yourself.
Good eh?
Read some theory, then give it a try.
Do the movements normally. You don’t do them like folk practice excercises in a gym.YOu employ these 2 principles
a)Use the least amount of efffort( just self-pandiucalte( deliberate tightening further) at the peak phase of the movment before relaxation phase of contraction, elicited by movment )
B)Focus on the sensations or sensaory awareness of the movement
You are not strengthening anything- indeed quite the oppposite approach is involved. Also often when you try to lengthen a muscle through “stretching”, it just kicks back into place( myotatic reflex-i.e a signal is then sent to contract, as the fibers retract) That may be partly why I suspect follk feel tighter after stretching- Or might say i’ve been stretching my hamstings for a year and they’re still tightt. Nothing is done by yanking anything- you need to get at the root of the problem- the thing that keeps those muscles involuntary tight-i.e the brain-
Master-control-centre for the body.
In my opinion ( based on conculsions i’ve come to, and after having researched these issues somewhat))alot of postural/ body-distortion/musculskeletal problems don’t generally stem from the muscles being too weak,( although not saying strengthening might not also be benefiical too or and/or good)and so therfore the usual old-school prescription of more strengthening and strengthening apporach i believe is misguided( indeed it can makematters worse by contributinig to cement bad posture by tightening the muscles yet further, typpically through concentric contraction, though one could also say excess agression/force,lack of mindfulness etc )Tight muscles results in bad coordination( or feeling a prisoner within your own body- not a nic experience at all!!) , or imbalance, therfore poor integration, so pain and discomfort result. Some schools of mindful yoga are closer to hanna somatics -that’s partly why much yoga out there is largly inappropriate to folk with poor posture, acertain degree of imbalance or in recovery. Half of a strength is i’m led to believe found through coordinaition. There was a champion wieghtlifter who was’nt big, but he hammered his opponents and lifted ina different league because he was flexible, Iie could put his whole body into the job…
you can read the science- which is grounded in solid neurophysiology
then try the practice- i could say more but unless you actually try it out ofr yourself, just like yoga, the power of the practice is somehow lost for anyone reading this with muscolskeletal problems.
not enough folk know about it - that is why i advertise it. but then folk don;t like to have to work for things in life. we all want the easy route to becoming enlightened or healing or just a meal or whatever.
a little application and faith goes along way.
The movments will feel exotic and awakward at first, but once learned, along with effective self-pandiculation you have a program, that like hatha yoga will indeed halt the aging process, as Dr. hanna puts it.
also hANNA sOMATICS quite conveniently puts you into the parasymapthetic nervous system state, which i hear is conducive to healing.
most of the movments are done lying on your back,knees up,(there are some on your front or standing)- you are, in effect, working without the effects of gravity pulling you this way or that. you are in effect re-porgramming your braiin to release muscle tension mainly through the avenue of sensory awareness
You will notice that your sensory awareness of previously tight muscle improves dramtically-your brain had forgotten abou them.
So folk with tight muscles therefore have poor sensory awareness of them…You are trying to amplify that signal,then win back control from the sub-cortical relflexes that keep the muscle permanently and involuntarily tight, and so sensory-motor control of your body is handed back you.YOu inhabit your body ,like a child ,with greater freedom, comfort andease.

Thomas Hanna
pranayama can ease the mind, if done properly and Hanna Somatic is very safe. If yo do occasion spasmin a muscle, just work with less effort.,slowly,.in a leisurely way,…just like a cat stretching. After a whle you’ll enjoy the sensations the movements produce.
This is certainly worth learning, with a little patience ,application and practice, and will CURE many people out there.
You can alwys PM me if you really need more clarification on
1)how to self-pandiculate
2)the movments to do
I have been informed that Thomas Hanna’s very own ‘Myth of Aging series- aka The cat Stretch’ is very good .You can get it here
http://www.somaticsed.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?specific=itemno&phrase=700_CS&cart_id=$cart_id
I got my audio programs from somatics.com the guy that owns that site is a practitoner, and a rather good one at that too.
Okay it costs some money- but if you SUFFER from being tight one one side of the body, as I have, you might be surpised that it actually does work!!!
pranayama is of course another subject(i prefer to keep separate, for now at least).- I heard this saying when you are breathing -youare breathing God in and out…
Thanks for posting!!!
