Rejuvenation & Meditation

Ayurveda evolved as a system of medicine in India, around 600 BC. The system stressed on the prevention of a disease in addition to treating an ailment. This tradition of healthcare was followed closely across the entire country, and has been practised ever since. Today, Ayurveda is a unique, indispensable branch of medicine, a complete naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of the body's humours to achieve the right balance. Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the affected part, but also the individual as a whole, making it the natural way to perfect health and harmony of life.

Kerala - The Land Of Ayurveda

Kerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants, and the cool monsoon season starting from June to November are best suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative programs. In fact, today Kerala is the only State in India, which practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication.

Monsoon is considered to be the ideal time for rejuvenation. Ancient texts recommend monsoon to be the best season for Ayurveda regimens. The atmosphere remains dust-free and cool, opening the pores of the body to the maximum, making it most receptive to herbal oils and therapy.

Yoga & Meditation

Yoga literally means union. Yoga is an attempt to unite the individual soul with the Universal Soul or God through rigorous mental and physical efforts. It is an integrated system of body, mind and spirit, and is fastened to ideas, values and attitudes. Yoga is capable of ensuring physical well-being, mental harmony and moral elevation. The are eight steps in yoga 0yama Conditional yoga behaviour, personal and social, Niyama Attitude sublimate to yoga norms, Asana, discipline of the physical body, Pranayama control over bio energy through respiratory action, Pratyahara withdrawal of the senses inwards through abstraction, Dharna that is concentration, Dhyana, which is meditation and Samadhi, the trans-consciousness.

The aim of yoga is to enable the person doing yoga, to transcend sense perceived, temporary appearances, unrealities and attain a vision and an experience of the super sensuous Divine Reality and attain peace and harmony. The challenge lies in transforming the inert body to the level of vibrant mind and then body and mind to be one with the serenity of the self. The Yoga, with the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul, creates the symphony of life. There are various Asanas that help to attain this rhythm. Integral part of Yoga is Meditation, an antidote to the excessive stress of modern life resulting in health problems. It helps retrain response mechanisms so that we don't react as strongly or as negatively to adverse situations. Meditation emboldens body's immune system, wards off diseases and enables quick recovery from diseases. Meditation helps mould a mind healthy, alert, positive, and calm. This, in turn, produces a body filled with vitality and health. A blend of meditation, proper diet, and yoga postures improves the general health. Medical journals say even serious heart and circulatory problems can be reversed through a regime of diet, meditation, and exercise. Meditation takes away fear, worry, and anger and replaces the mind with positive, strong attitudes. Its daily practice gives control over the flow of life force. As a result, an attitudinal change takes place leading to dispassionate approach to worldly pleasures.

In short, meditation is a simple and powerful tool to lead a stress-free life. Relationships will be rewarding once developed a calm, relaxed sensitivity of life via meditation. All forms of meditation are good, but in our high-speed society, we need to learn how to protect our energy by closing down at the end.

Of these, the first five, which border on the Psychosomatic Approach, are referred to as External (Bahiranga) yoga, popularly known as Hatha Yoga, while the latter three, which directly affect the psyche are known as Internal (Antaranga) yoga, popularly known as Raja Yoga. It is almost impossible to try internal yoga (Raja Yoga) for the average man before accomplishing the external one (Hatha Yoga). The respective sequence of the eight steps as the standard methodology of yoga.

Yoga is based on a deep understanding of man and his position in this world and was the first system evolved in the world to recognise the connection and the interaction between body and mind. It studies in depth the very structure of the human personality, through analysis the psychological complexities and the cause of human pain, sorrow and suffering. It has laid down psychosomatic means through its various psycho-physiological processes for dealing with the body mind complex and tries to harmonize and integrate the human personality at all levels and stages of life.

Yoga is basically a way of life, which has been evolved as a system to go beyond the personality - complex and achieve absolute freedom-liberation of the spirit from the matter.

As a result, an attitudinal change takes place leading to dispassionate approach to worldly pleasures. One of the easiest ways to meditate is listening songs or reading holy books for ten or twenty minutes. While sitting with spine erect, you are aligning energy to the Almighty force.

Normal Steps : Sit in a chair with spine erect, shoulders relaxed, feet flat on the floor. Fold hands together in lap and close eyes. Take three slow deep breaths, exhaling to the base of spine, and feel relaxing. Sit with hands together for a few minutes. Open hands, palms up, laying them gently in lap. Keep focus on music, reading, song whatever is there. Mediators can affirm or visualize such as, "The Perfect partner is manifesting in my life," or whatever you are choosing to create in life, i.e. prosperity, wisdom, career. If the meditation is in the evening after the daily routines, review the day, how you reacted in situation, take fresh, positive decisions.

Close hand into a fist and feel a balloon of white light a block all around you and underneath you so dhat you're in the centre. This sends love and healing out to the world and buffers negative energy from coming into you. True meditation does not end here. Endeavour to practice the meditation attitude in thoughts and behaviour. In short, meditation is a simple and powerful tool to lead a stress-free life. Relationships will be rewarding once developed a calm, relaxed sensitivity of life via meditation.

All forms of meditation are good, but in ur high-speed society, we need to learn how to protect our energy by closing down at the end.

Breathing : In meditation diaphragmatic breathing is important. As we inhale, diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle, contracts and flattens its curve, creating a vacuum into which the lungs can expand. As this happens the diaphragm pushes the abdominal muscles outward. Diaphragmatic breathing can, and should, be done in any position, but it is easiest to re-learn when you are most relaxed, lying on the floor. Lie on your back with your arms at your sides, palms upward. Many people find it easier to relax the diaphragm if they bend their knees, placing their feet flat on the floor. Relax completely, especially the stomach and abdomen. Now, breathe deeply and slowly, concentrating on the diaphragm, and feeling your stomach rise as you inhale and fall as you exhale. Relax the abdominal muscles more and more completely, using the diaphragm, and not the stomach muscles, to create the rise and fall of the abdomen. After a few minutes practice on the floor you can sit in a cross-legged position and continue diaphragmatic breathing. It helps to close your eyes and concentrate on relaxing the stomach, allowing it to swell outward and relax back inward. Once you know how to breathe correctly you can practice diaphragmatic breathing wherever you are. It may take a couple of weeks to retrain yourself but you will find the results worth the effort. Be sure to check to see that you are breathing diaphragmatically as you begin your meditations.
