Dear readers, ( I am writing this post keeping in mind the patient I see in my clinic,who have become tired or fatigued or emotional due to staying most of the times in their home ,just like i advise my patients, I thought to write this as many more could be benefited)
Namaste!!!
Considering todays situation, with most of the countries
going in lock downs and less of movement, we are finding
1 . The heaviness in the body is increasing (we can call it
Kapha increase or also blockage of Nadis / meridians)
2. The mind becomes too active and Rajasic quality of mind
becomes very fast.
This is a very general thing I have observed in my daily practice,
apart from many imbalances.
I have been recommending simple tips during this days – and we
see a lot of improvement.
Simple changes when you are in lock down can be practiced
Like the following
1.
POOR MAN WALK MILES TO EARN THEIR BREAD AND RICH WALK
MILES TO DIGEST THE BREAD
this is a very good saying for all of us. According to Ayurveda, after a meal one should
do SAHASRAPAULI, (Sanskrit word)
which means walk 1000 steps. In earlier times man worked very hard and so was
the food very important for us but today most of us have sedentary lifestyle,
so do you still think that same amount of food is required. We are also
observing that many people just lay on the sofa or bed after their meal and this
could make them more lethargic too.
Our team agrees that most common disorders are due to wrong lifestyles and thus
we have taken up this challenge to guide people in changing their lifestyle
depending on their body type, age, etc.
2.We recommend
either hot water, Cumin herb tea, or soup
as an evening fast if you feel the earlier food is not metabolized, this can be
done once or twice a week for dinner
3. Singing / dancing
/ chanting is a good way to release old emotions and let go the bad things,
this is very important as all the negative news all time makes mind frustrated and
so singing and dancing produces good, positives hormones.
4. Yoga / chi-gong
/tai-chi – Just like walking , spend some time of the day doing some movement
since you cannot go out, at least yoga or chi gong doesn’t take up much space
and can be done in a small spacious room too. Helps for blood circulation and
good energy flow in body.
5. Pranayama –
Today the whole world knows about pranayama.
Especially I recommend Nadi –Shodhan pranayama technique as
it is useful for many reasons.
This kind of pranayama helps stimulate melatonin and also
increase the oxygen levels in blood and helpful in staying youthful and happy.
I hope this few Tips will be helpful.
