Learn How To End Your Stress With Yoga
Today we offer you a couple of easy yoga steps that will help you end your stress with yoga. The Asana is called the Nishpandabhava. The term, Nishpandabhava is made of two words; Nishpanda meaning Passive and bhava meaning pose. Play your favorite music album in the background.
Then just let go of your hands, legs, feet; loosen all the muscles and sit reclined against the wall. This activity regulates your breathing and steadies the mind. The music will absorb all your attention, synchronizing you breathing to the beat of the music. When you are breathing deeply, focus your attention on your third eye.
Remain in this state for at least 10 minutes. This will slow down the heart rate and reduces the blood pressure. This will also reduce the stress hormones, relax your muscles and your mind will slowly go into the alpha state of meditation. Another Asana called the Shavasana - has similar effects, only the back is stretched out.
Shava means a corpse and asana means posture. This asana completely relaxes all the muscles of the body and regulates breathing. Lie, flat on your back upon a mat. Focus your attention in this order and breathe deeply; the toes, the chest, the shoulders, the neck, the chin, the jaws, the mouth, the nose tip, the third eye, the forehead and the mind.
The next vital Asana is the Yogendra Pranayam. Prana means Vayu or breath and Ayam is the expense. Therefore, pranayam is the control of the breath being inhaled, held and exhaled out of the body. This controlled breathing ensures proper oxygenation and its use by each and every cell.
Lie flat on your back and bend the knees such that the feet lie at the shoulder's width; this helps the muscles of the abdomen, chest and back to relax. Place one of your hands on the navel to help you focus attention on your breathing. Do not bloat your stomach but feel your abdomen rise with the deep inhalation. Now exhale and feel your stomach return to its relaxed state.
Then gently pull the stomach in without moving the chest. These three motions, expand the abdomen, massages the visceral organs and promoting circulation of blood. Do these positions in cycles of 10 seconds. These Asanas helps one introspect, train the mind, organize thoughts, regulate breathing and help one cultivate passivity. Now you have an idea how much better you will feel you can begin to end your stress with Yoga.
